The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 192

"If you don’t want to, stay behind. I have legs of my own and can make the journey."

"You..."

Elder Connas interrupted, "Enough bickering. The Grand Elder has decreed past grudges be wiped clean. We won't trouble you further, and you shouldn't be so resistant."

Alavin examined the writ closely and once satisfied, he tucked it securely away. "Fine by me. I'm not one to hold grudges."

Alavin did not hold grudges? Did even he believe his own words? They rolled their eyes in skepticism.

Suddenly, Carlys came running from a distance, a small bundle on her back. "Wait for me. Wait for me!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm coming too!" Carlys arrived, beaming. With Stormcast pardoned, she would not miss the chance to celebrate in person.

"Stay behind. I can manage on my own."

"No, I must go."

"The journey may hold dangers. I cannot look after you."

"Do I look like I need looking after? I'm a Stage VII, you know."

"Hold on, I will escort her back." Alavin gestured to Elder Connas and the others and forcefully led Carlys back into the Organization.

Elder Connas and his team frowned in displeasure. Wait for Alavin? Who does Alavin think he is?

After much persuasion, Alavin managed to convince Carlys to stay behind, then headed to the Botanic Haven. As a Golden Protégé, he had free access to the Botanic Haven.

After a winding journey, he arrived at the mid-mountain herb garden. Along the path, many of the Botanic Haven Apprentices who saw him did not stop him; they just watched from a distance with complex looks in their eyes. A person once looked down upon by them had now far surpassed them. As a Golden Apprentice, a lord, and the honoree of the championship, Alavin could be said to be the highest-ranked among the new generation of Cobalt Strike Apprentices!
