At that moment, Megan approached Severin and Diane. "Diane, Severin, I don't think you'll be able to attend my wedding. It's in ten days. I'm now a level nine grandmaster, but we all know that I won't be able to make any further progress unless there's some sort of treasure that will enhance my attainment talent. If you come across such a treasure, could you return and let me have it? I don't want to remain at this level for the rest of my life."
"Don't worry. I promised to give you a treasure like that if I do get one, so I'll make sure it reaches you even if I can't hand it over to you in person," Severin reassured with a smile.
Megan nodded. "I'll hold you to it!"
Severin chuckled and added, "You ought to know by now that I'm a man of my word!"
Benjamin then approached Severin and said, "I'll stay here. Take care of yourself there. I'll continue to train diligently, refine pills, and protect everyone."
"Please take care, Dad," Candy urged with a worried expression as she held Mick's hand.
Mick reassured her, "I'll be fine, Candy. I'll visit you whenever I can. Dracodeus Temple is in your hands now, so be sure to take good care of everyone."
Candy held back her tears and replied, "I will, Dad."
Severin placed the token on the sword, and everyone gathered around to experiment with her. Sheila then examined them closely, even going so far as to bite them and rub them. Despite trying several different approaches, she was unable to discern any further clues.
Severin smiled when he saw his wives experiment with the token and went to sit at the hilt of his sword.
Meanwhile, in a pavilion on Mount Ermonie, Wuhlricht looked into the distance with a barely discernible frown. Beside him stood an elderly man with gray hair and beard.
"Is something troubling you? Are you concerned about your daughter?" the elder man asked.
