Hearing that, Carol immediately frowned and asked, "You really think so, Great Elder? But my son has been hard at work learning how to make alchemical pills. Plus, he already reached the attainment of level two warrior king despite being so young. So how it is possible that, given his talent, his chances are quite. low?"

Grandma Nicholz looked at Great Elder in anticipation of his answer. She, too, wanted to know why hel would say something like that.

Great Elder smiled bitterly before explaining, "Carol, having high attainment doesn't automatically mean he'll be good at making alchemical pills. I admit, he's very talented at fighting but when it comes to his talent in making alchemical pills... well, it's hard to say."

"But he managed to make an alchemical pill with no prior teaching from anyone! You saw it too. Doesn't that just mean he has the talent to do so?" Carol insisted stubbornly.

"Well, he had been trying for such a long time so who's to say it wasn't pure luck that he managed to do it? Plus, it only counts if he can make another one again. You shouldn't underestimate how hard it is to make alchemical pills," said Great Elder with a smile.

Cece Nicholz, Mayor Nicholz's second wife, chuckled coldly and said, "I must say you're very naive, Carol. There's a high chance Mister Severin will still turn your son away even if he's very talented in making alchemical pills. You have no idea how selfish people are nowadays. They would rather keep their knowledge or techniques a secret instead of passing them down to a disciple.”

Cece's son was in the room with them too. He had been at odds with Benjamin since young so he said. mockingly, "My mom is right. If not, there would be more alchemists in the world, wouldn't it? It's all' cause those alchemists are unwilling to take on disciples that there are so few alchemists right now."

Hearing this, Carol let out a heavy sigh. At that moment, they saw a car coming back. Clave and Benjamin. alighted from the car as soon as it was parked.

"Clave, how did it go? Did Mister Severin take Benjamin as his disciple??" asked Grandma Nicholz eagerly.

Everyone there knew the importance of Severin taking Benjamin as a disciple. Not only would they have. an alchemist in the family but it would also mean the family would be able to gain a firm foothold in South Link City through their association with Severin.

"Yes, he did! He's actually quite an easy guy to talk to. I treated Mister Severin's whole family to drinks. and food after he agreed to take Benjamin his disciple. That's why it took us so long to come home," said Clave happily.

"Well done, Benjamin! I can foresee our family will become even more powerful in the future now that we have Mister Severin's protection," said Grandma Nicholz ecstatically.

However, all the other Mayor Nicholz's wives and their children did not look too happy. They would rather die than see Carol lording this good news over them.

"Well done. I'm proud of you, my son. I'm sure you'll become the greatest alchemist there ever is if you put your heart into learning everything you can from your master," said Carol happily.

Benjamin noticed his mum's eyes reddening so he said, "Don't worry, mom. I'll definitely-work hard in learning how to make alchemical pills. My master is very good to me. Not only did he accept me as his disciple, but he also gave me a cauldron and 12 first-grade alchemical recipes!"

"Heavens, that's very generous of him! From the sound of it, he must at least be a first-grade high-rank alchemist," said Carol while jumping up and down in excitement.

"Oh, Mister Severin's alchemist's rank is definitely higher than that 'cause he promised me he'll give me some second-grade alchemical recipes if I work my way up to become a first-grade alchemist so he mus at least be a second-grade low-rank alchemist right now. But of course, this is only a guess of mine," said Benjamin with a smile.
