At the same time, in the Grand Holy Hall of the Holy Dragon Empire, things were happening.
The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire sat on his gilded throne in the magnificent main hall. He looked solemn and serious, and each subtle movement revealed irresistible majesty, making others bow down their heads and avoid his gaze.
Lena, the Witch of the Holy Dragon Empire, was also in the hall. She possessed an extremely high status in the Holy Dragon Empire. It was known that a Witch was an oracle, who could communicate with dragons. She was also the only bridge between humans and the dragon. At the same time, the Witch had the same abilities as that of a royal spirit manipulator, and each generation of them was directly designated by the Dragon Master Clan. In the Grand Holy Hall, in addition to the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire and Lena, there were also Priest Dean and Alston. Several others too were present who held high authority and position in the Holy Dragon Empire.
Apart from all of them, there was a woman standing in the middle of the main hall. She looked at the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire respectfully.
"Master Mia, what is the progress of the pre-training phase of the 30 royal spirit manipulators?" the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire asked calmly.
The woman in the middle of the hall was Mia Lan.
"Your Majesty, everything has gone well so far," Mia arched her hands and answered.
"Twenty-nine of the thirty spirit manipulators were selected by me and I trained them with all my heart. I have confidence in them. However, I am concerned about the last one. He has not even reached the first grade of the Mortal Stage. I assume that he might perform poorly in training. Maybe even has become a drag for the team." Priest Dean spoke before Mia could speak further. Although his statement was euphemistic, everyone in the Grand Holy Hall immediately realized that he was not referring to anyone else but Basil, also known as Rocky. He was the one who accidentally blended the dragon spiritual power of the Holy Dragon Bead with himself, and became a royal spirit manipulator.
"Priest Dean, are you talking about Basil? If you want to say anything, just say it. You don't need to beat around the bush." Mia spoke in a calm but firm voice.
"Priest Dean, Basil did not undergo any training before becoming a royal spirit manipulator. Even if his current performance is not good enough, you should not say that he is a drag on the team. Time will tell whether he can be a true royal spirit manipulator or not. I do believe that Basil can become an excellent royal spirit manipulator," Lena retorted. She had to give it back to Priest Dean immediately as she found that he was obviously targeting Basil intentionally.
"Your Royal Highness, I hope so too. I mean no offense. However, according to the aptitude and talent of Basil, it is impossible for him to become a royal spirit manipulator. So, I would recommend you not to raise your hopes too high. After all, the greater the hopes you raise, the greater the disappointment you will face," Priest Dean sneered.
"What Priest Dean said is right. Your Royal Highness, you do not have to pity a loser who no longer belongs to the royal family," Alston, who was standing beside Priest Dean, said coldly.
"Basil is not a loser!" Lena's eyes were filled with anger by the words of Alston and Priest Dean.
"Am I wrong?" Alston raised his eyebrows and asked her firmly.
"You..." Intense anger flashed in Lena's eyes.
"Stop all this now! You all should pay attention to the etiquette of your royal status and your identity." The emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire upbraided them with anger rising in his eyes.
Alston and Lena glared at each other and stopped quarreling.
