Chapter 670
“Honey, the food’s ready!” Diane’s voice called out to him from outside the room.
“Time flies!” Severin wiped the sweat from his forehead and went down. He did not expect that three hours had passed even though he only made eight refinement attempts.
After their meal, Severin and Diane came to the yard for a walk. Severin took out a pill. “Look what I have here.”
“A pill?! You…you’ve succeeded?” Diane’s beautiful eyes opened wide, and her face was full of disbelief. She never imagined that Severin could succeed in refining a pill when he taught himself alchemy without receiving any guidance from a master.
“Wow! It smells good! I wonder what it tastes like?” Diane sniffed it carefully and could not help but gulp.
Severin smiled and said, “Take it easy, honey. You’ll have plenty of chances in the future! When the time comes, it’s not just first-grade low-rank pills that you’ll get to enjoy. I’ll even let you have some of the second-grade ones!”
“Really? Then you must do your best, okay?” Diane was all smiles as she returned the pill carefully to Severin. “It’s such a shame that I’ll have to wait another year. I want to break through to level nine grandmaster soon so I can acquire the talent for attainment!”
Severin frowned. “You want to break through sooner? I’m worried I might not even have enough time! After all, I was assigned a task, and I’m worried that I might not be able to complete it on time and end up getting no reward in the end. But then again, my master’s junior did say that my assignment had nothing to do with this talent-changing treasure that he will help us to locate. Luckily for us, we’ll still be able to obtain that treasure as long as I bring you there.”
Diane thought about it and smiled as she said, “He gave you plenty of treasures when you went there the last time, and he even said that you’ll be rewarded with even greater things once you complete the assignment. I can’t help but feel curious as to what sort of rewards they might be!”
All of a sudden, Abigail ran over and interrupted their conversation. “Sir, that pig is here again!”
“I would’ve expected that. I knew he wouldn’t just give up so easily when he was still acting all pompous before he left yesterday! I’m going to teach him a good lesson this time!” Severin’s expression darkened after hearing Abigail inform him that Horus came again.
“He looks like the kind of guy who was spoiled by his parents since he was a kid. He acts as if everyone’s beneath him!” Abigail huffed in anger.
