“You don't need to worry about returning the pill. In fact, General Holk specifically instructed me to give you this book as well,” Sophus said, retrieving a book from his possession and extending it to Donald.
Mystic Sun Technique?
Donald held the book, utterly dumbfounded.
It was clear that Mystic Sun Technique was a higher-level manual, different from the manuals Donald had mastered previously.
By diligently following the instructions within the manual, Donald would be able to make steady progress after he advanced to the Unnerved Realm.
It wasn't just a simple gift, for Maynard was bringing good luck to him.
Glancing at Sophus, Donald asked, “If I hadn't accepted the Energy Condensation Pill, would you have kept the manual to yourself?”
Sophus let out a hearty laugh. “Don't bother asking questions. Anyway, everything is within General Holk's control.”
If all the high-level cultivators remained loyal to Yorksland, it would undoubtedly be a boon for the nation.
However, if these cultivators prioritized their personal reputation and gains over the interests of Yorksland, they could become a potential threat that needed careful monitoring.
Knowing it was Maynard's extending his goodwill, Donald proceeded to accept the pill and manual before asking, “Do you have any information on the specific timing of Earl's members trespassing the border?”
Sophus bobbed his head. “According to our intel, they would be arriving tomorrow evening. Let's make sure to have a good meal and rest tonight. Tomorrow at noon, my men will come to pick you up.”
Donald nodded.
After they finished talking about work and were about to begin eating, the owner, Laila, came in with a bowl of steaming tomato cream soup. “Here you go. I prepared this tomato cream soup for you both.”
Seeing the complimentary dish, Sophus quickly moved the other dishes to make space for the bowl.
Right then, Donald spoke up. “I'm allergic to tomatoes. Why didn't you ask before offering us any dish on the house?”
The lady seemed awkward. “I never knew that tomatoes could trigger allergies.”
“Well, now you know. I'm allergic to tomatoes.”
