What Fane said moved both women near tears.
Sarai Campbell, on the other hand, still had that bitter smile on her face as she lamented, "Sigh... It wouldn't be so easy since Ethan Haays also said that what we need is a fourth-grade pill, while the two other precious items are third-grade premium spirited grass. We’ve only read about fourth and third-grade items from the ancient tome. Haha... We don't even see third-grade elementary items on a regular basis, let alone third-grade premium and fourth-grade items!"
River Harris chimed in, "Young Master Fane, we know that you purposely said that to comfort us. Don’t worry; both Sister Sarai and I are strong-willed. After all, we’ve
spent some time on the battlefield before, and we've learned to take matters of life and death easily. Let's put aside how difficult it is for you to find these things and only focus on the pill. Are you capable of becoming a fourth-grade elementary alchemist in one year? That's too difficult!"
Their words made Fane sighed inwardly as he knew it truly was a difficult feat. Firstly, the existence of these precious items was an issue. Secondly, so what if they existed and they managed to find all the different ingredients needed for the pill? He was just a second-grade intermediate alchemist, and it was a very troubling journey to become a fourth-grade elementary alchemist!
He had been running away from this fact all this time. He could only repeat to himself, Lana, and the others that this would work without fail.
However, the hope of succeeding was as small as winning a five-million lottery.
"Yes, it is difficult, but I'll try my best!" assured Fane after a moment of silence. " Alright, let's stop talking about this. As long as Fernando is still alive, I, Fane Woods, won't give up on him. Come, let me bring everyone to visit him!”
River thought of something and added, “ Let’s visit Lana first so she can help us take care of the children. We don't want the children to see their father lying there..."
Fane nodded and quickly led them up the mountain. He arranged accommodations for them before ordering his subordinate to gather Lana, Ethan, and his other disciples over.
Lana immediately stepped forward and said to both women, "Sisters, we planned to fetch the two of you after a couple of days. I never thought you’d find your way here!"
"We've dismissed all the helpers in our house, and I decided to come with the children after discussing it with your Sister River. We plan to visit Fernando. We haven't seen him for quite a while now, and we miss him badly.”
Sarai smiled weakly and said, "We don't want the children to see their father in that state, though, so please help us take care of them for some time, and we will go take a look later.”
"Sure, no problem!" Lana agreed to it. Fane soon led the two of them to pay Fernando a visit.
Fane felt waves of bitterness in his heart when he saw how Sarai and River acted after they saw Fernando. The two of them sat by the thick ice layer and started crying.
