Life After Prison

Chapter 2123
All nine peak masters were left with a bitter taste in their mouths. While it was initially supposed to be only nine of them vying for
Severin’s allegiance, a spanner was thrown in the works when Oskar- the sect leader-intervened.
His offer was not to appoint him as just an ordinary elder, but the elder of the Alchemy Chamber whose status rivaled their own!
Severin had become not just the youngest seventh-grade alchemist in
Grandiuno Sect’s history, but also the youngest elder in the Alchemy Chamber!
At that point, Myles, Daniella, and the others were left with no other choice than to offer their congratulations. “Congratulations
on becoming the Alchemy Chamber’s elder, Severin!”
As Severin gazed at Oskar’s smile and listened to the peak masters’ congratulatory remarks, he took a deep breath and gently
accepted the token. He surmised that he was probably the first disciple in the Grandiuno Sect’s history to become the Alchemy
Chamber’s elder.
He suppressed his excitement and gestured respectfully toward Oskar, saying, “Thank you for your kindness.”
Had Oskar not intervened, Severin believed that Myles and the other might have bickered for hours.
The appointment had placed him on equal footing with the peak masters, and Oskar seemed pleased when Severin accepted
the token. “Now that I’ve officially made you elder of the Alchemy Chamber, my duty here is done.”
Oskar then left in a streak of light, leaving Myles and the others watching helplessly in silence. They desired Severin for two main
reasons. The first was the benefits a seventh-grade alchemist could in the form of alchemical ingredients that the sect would
likely confer on them.
With Severin becoming the Alchemy Chamber’s elder, he would effectively have control over the pill distribution across the entire
sect. His status was on par with theirs, and they would have to go through him to request any paragon-level pills.
The nine peak masters offered their congratulations with wry smiles before taking their leave one by one.
“My friend,” said Lejeune of the Fifth Mountain as he prepared to leave, “do visit my Fifth Mountain when you have time to
spare.”

“Who are you calling ‘friend’? You should be addressing him as Elder!” Myles overheard that and glared at Lejeune with some
annoyance. He then turned to Severin with a smile and said, “Elder Severin, our Seventh Mountain welcomes you with open
arms! It’d be great if you could teach some of the less-talented disciples the proper way of swordsmanship.”
“Such shameless behavior from a paragon,” Lejeune grumbled softly when he heard the flattery from Myles. Even so, Lejeune
was well aware that Severin stood as his equal. A seventh-grade alchemist’s status was on par with that of a paragon, and
Severin had the
potential to reach even greater heights on account of his youth and talent. There might come a day where he would become an
eighth- grade alchemist, the record of which was still unbeaten in Southsky except for their previous sect leader!
With that much potential, even royal paragons would have to show him respect. Lejeune had nothing to lose by offering a few
words of flattery. As he considered those aspects, he turned to Severin and said, “Haha, well said from Myles. I should call you
Elder Severin now. Do come visit my Fifth Mountain as well.”
Severin chuckled. “Of course, of course!”
After bidding the nine peak masters goodbye, Severin was about to return to Pearl Light Isle when a wave of gasps reached his
ears. He glanced to the side and saw a group of disciples from the Seventh and Sixth Mountains gathered nearby. They were all
drawn by the commotion.
The Seventh and Sixth Mountains were the closest to Pearl Light Isle, and around a hundred disciples-both men and women-
watched him curiously.
