Hearing Alec's words, Velen fell into a brief silence before speaking.
"Lord Alec, since you've overheard this much, I suppose there's no harm in telling you the rest."
"My mentor was ambushed many years ago. In the end, she preserved her soul with the help of a rare artifact and managed to survive on the Alpha Continent. If everything goes as expected, she'll arrive in the Upper Plane Universe within fifteen days."
Hmm?
Just as he said that, Velen noticed Alec walking straight toward the door. Confused, he asked, "Lord Alec, where are you going?"
"To escort you back to the Endless Sanctuary, of course!"
"I need to report this great news to the Sanctuary Lord immediately!"
"With a background like yours, you don't need to take the entrance examination at all. You can join the Endless Sanctuary directly!"
Alec explained excitedly, nearly bursting with emotion.
"No!"
"I don't want to rely on my mentor's connections. I want to join the Endless Sanctuary with my own strength!"
