With Kiyu declaring the end of the tournament and announcing Severin as the participant who had bagged first place, Severin finally heaved a sigh of relief. Ferland stroked the beard on his chin and raised thirteen tokens into Kiyu’s view. The two of them offered a respectful salute to the winners.
Ferland tossed the palm–sized tokens into the air and turned them into streaks of light that landed in Severin’s hands. He then smiled and explained, “This token serves as your pass to the sacred lake. Engrave your name on it and you will gain smooth entry.”
Severin acknowledged gratefully in reply, “Thank you very much.”
Severin glanced at the middle–aged man before him. Clad in luxurious–looking attire, the gray–haired man
had a spirited countenance. Clearly, the man was of high standing, being the elder of the Grandiuno Sect.
Ferland chuckled and waved off the gratitude. “Haha, there is no need to thank me. You are young, yet
you possess formidable combat prowess, a keen mastery of swordwill, and secured consecutive
victories over well–known prodigies like Thorold and Jangar. This city is too small for you.” Soaring from the spectator platform, he had much praise for Severin and seemed to hint at his eagerness to recruit
Severin into the Grandiuno Sect.
Even so, Ferland acknowledged that it would be unwise to make hasty decisions. He would like to confirm Severin’s ability and wait until Severin could at least become a supreme saint before making a
decision. Though the Grandiuno Sect had uncovered many promising talents from the sacred lake each year, Severin had not yet reached the level of a supreme saint and was lagging slightly behind in attainment. The difference between a level nine royal saint and a supreme saint was immense, and one might even liken it to a huge gulley that one had to cross to reach the next level.
Severin had trained under the old wacko since young, was sent on a mission to seek out the 12 hall masters, and had to navigate the complexities of human relationships. No longer the naive young man he once was, he had come to comprehend many intricacies in the world.
The praise and appreciation that Ferland displayed toward Severin led the latter to understand that he had won the respect, favor, and attention of the Grandiuno Sect elder. Ferland was a person of high status who would not exalt an undeserving person, and Severin had earned the praise. Severin thanked Ferland once more after being given the token.
Sensing that Severin might have discerned something, Ferland remarked with a smile, “It’s time you retur home and get some rest. Don’t forget to show up at the mayor’s mansion in two days.”
Severin nodded in affirmation. “I will.”
Having concluded his conversation with Ferland, Severin kept the token away and returned to the win!”
Rourie’s obsequious manner caught Severin by surprise, and he tossed a token to Roure before saying,
Here, I have now fulfilled my end of the bargain.”
Severin was not about to renege on his promise after agreeing to secure a place for the Chorteaus in the
sacred lake.
Rourie put away the token carefully and said, “I had no doubt that you’re a man of your word. Let’s head home. I’ll gather all our disciples today and hold a celebration for you!” Rourie beamed at Severin with fawning smile.
