Thomas commented, "I have no idea what is wrong with Birk. What is he thinking, allowing his daughter to marry an unaffiliated practitioner? Does that guy have a strong attainment?"
Meldrick quickly explained, "Yes. His attainment is higher than mine. I think he is either a level six or seven warrior emperor."
That came as a surprise to everyone. Maybe that was the reason Birk did not disapprove of Sofia from marrying Meldrick.
However, they totally did not expect to hear what Meldrick had to say next.
Meldrick continued, "Most importantly, he's a third-grade medium-rank alchemist. I wonder how long it takes for him to prepare all the third-grade medium-rank alchemical pills because he actually gave Birk one hundred of those. That is why Birk feels that there is still a little hope."
Since he was now an elder of the Unbeaten Wind Sect, there was nothing stopping him from betraying Stormy Moon Sect. Knowing how much Daniel was fond of Sofia, he trusted they would not kill Sofia if both sects ended up fighting each other. However, that would not apply to other people like Birk and Severin.
If he could not get Sofia, he would not just stand aside and see Sofia married to Severin. At least, if Sofia were forced to marry Daniel in the future, they would take away Sofia's attainment to make sure she would not have the ability to fight back. Maybe, just maybe, he would have his chance to be together with Sofia then.
The Great Elder gritted his teeth angrily. "I'm sure they must have already consumed the alchemical pills last night and broke through. Now we have missed the chance to take those alchemical pills. Even if we win the fight, our losses would be higher too."
Meldrick pulled his face and said awkwardly, "I drank too much last night and went straight to bed. When I woke up this morning, it was too late."
Thomas wished he could break Meldrick's neck and cut him into pieces. He clenched his fist tightly and looked outside. "F*ck! It's almost afternoon!"
