"Lord Velen," Alec asked cautiously, eyes filled with curiosity, "there's something I've been dying to ask. What exactly did you offer the Temple Master to purchase both the Saint and Grand Elder titles?"
Hearing that, Lore and Stiegler were momentarily stunned.
…What?!
Purchased?!
Saint and Grand Elder positions could be bought?
Why the hell hadn't they heard of this before?
Before Velen could even reply, the two who had been sinking in despair earlier suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief.
They began to question their own ears—Had they misheard?
After all, Endless Sanctuary was one of the top forces in this entire starfield of the upper plane universe. The titles of Saint and Grand Elder weren't just mere titles—they were the face of the Sanctuary!
The idea that Temple Master Lilith would sell such high-ranking identities was simply… unfathomable.
"Don't bring it up!" Velen sighed theatrically. "Thinking about it just makes my heart ache."
