The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2728

Elder Eliot had thought that it would not take long for Fane to get tested for the inner valley.

If Fane passed the test, he would become an inner-valley alchemist. He would no doubt become an elder in the future, given his capabilities and talents. Alas, such ideals might not be certain after this hurdle.

Elder Maurice could not help but feel a sense of pity, sighing in the process.

He was silent for a long time before he said, "I still don't understand something. Since this tournament is so important, why didn't we use the alchemists of the inner valley?

"Even though the outer valley's alchemists are no weaker than the alchemists outside, I'm just worried that anything unexpected could happen. I'd use inner valley alchemists if it were up to me.

"It might look like overkill, but it's better to be a hundred people, just to be certain. It's nothing to be embarrassed about, really."

Elder Baggins raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Elder Eliot. He sighed lightly as he responded in exasperation, "Do you think we don't want to use the inner valley alchemists? Do you think Sky Peak Pavilion is foolish?

"What's the point of this tournament if we used

alchemists of the inner valley? Sky Peak Pavilion might as well just pay us and be done with it.

"Of course, we want to use our inner valley alchemists. We even talked about it at Sky Peak Pavilion. However, they know about the structure within Phoenix Valley. The outer valley and inner valley are two different worlds.

"Because of this, the higher-ups of Sky Peak Pavilion were adamantly against it. They said that there was nothing to discuss if we used inner valley alchemists. After much debate and discussion, we were forced to use outer valley alchemists."
