They were still in Heavenly Pills, after all. Even if Fane was irked, he could not kill Gilbert and Andrew. Thus, he should leave the place as soon as possible. It would save him a lot of trouble.
Once he made a name for himself and had nothing else to do, he would find these two once more, proving to them then that he was never a character to be thought of lightly.
As if he could see why Fane wanted to leave quickly, the vice-treasurer hurriedly nodded. "We can leave in four hours. This has always been an urgent matter, anyway."
Hearing the vice-treasurer's words, Fane offered an honest smile. It was best if he left as soon as he could; he did not want to stay for another second. Fane wanted to tell the vice-treasurer that he did not need to tidy up anything and could leave immediately.
The pill aura room's door was suddenly knocked, and the vice-treasurer frowned. "Enter!"
It was the ninth student who entered. When Fane saw his face, he raised an eyebrow. He could still clearly remember how the ninth student had stood behind the vice-treasurer the whole time earlier.
When he came to look at Fane's pill runes, the vicetreasurer had sent the ninth student on his way, and
the student finally returned at that point to the vicetreasurer's side, albeit with an anxious expression.
He quickly glanced at everyone present before he whispered into the vice-treasurer's ear, mumbling a few words that somehow earned a raised eyebrow and a smile from the vice-treasurer.
He looked up at Gilbert and Andrew. "Well, this is good. The two of you don't have to be so angered anymore. This time, I'm allowed to bring all three of you. Don't embarrass me there."
The light would be reflected by the spiritual vessel when it hit, much like a distorted mirror. It reflected all the light that should have hit the earth.
At that moment, the vessel was incredibly bustling. At least 70 people were standing on the deck. The long deck was like a miniature plaza, and even a few hundred people could fit inside without a problem, let alone 70 or 80.
Fane and the others followed closely behind the vicetreasurer. They arrived on top of the deck, and the vice -treasurer gave them a briefing. It was then did Fane find out that the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance's branch was on the vessel.
It was probably because there were too many people, or that the vice-treasurer did not like crowds, but the vice-treasurer pulled everyone to a secluded corner the moment they arrived.
"I didn't expect the alliance to go all-out this time. They leaked all the news and released the restrictions. So many people are here so abruptly."
