"However, for there to be so many people here, even from the inner region, means that the news has actually spread long ago but was probably kept secret by the alliance instead. What do you think the alliance wants?"
That was the question Fane had been thinking about, but he knew far too little, so there was no way for him to guess anything.
The vice treasurer looked at Fane with praise. Fane was still the one who was able to grasp the key of the problem and ask some meaningful questions. The vice treasurer thought for a long time before he slowly shook his head.
"I can't figure it out either. I feel like something strange is hidden behind everything, but I haven't received any special news lately..."
Fane sighed. Even the vice treasurer did not know, so there was no way for him to know at all. He turned to look at everyone on the deck. The excitement on their faces was obvious.
After all, becoming a student of the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance was a much better position than their current ones. They would receive a lot more resources and their future journeys would be a bit smoother.
Those who were there had naturally gone through a selection process. Many of them were like Gilbert, filled with confidence. They felt like their talents would make them shine among the others.
Fane shook his head as he pursed his lips, pushing those thoughts aside for the moment. He turned around and looked at the vice treasurer earnestly before saying, "Did you have some past conflicts with Mr. Constance?"
Just now, Mr. Constance and the vice treasurer had a very tense atmosphere between them. Their words were polite, but looking at their expressions and the atmosphere, anyone could tell that a fight could erupt at any moment.
Mr. Constance coldly snorted as his expression suddenly darkened and uttered, "That dog keeps causing trouble for me. I feel so disgusted every time I see him."
