The great elder was getting excited too, and with good reason considering that the weapon was at least fifth- or sixth-grade. Such an item would have all the secluded families coveting it.
Upon seeing Eulon's interest, the great elder said, "There are several secluded families in this area, and our strength is average at most. We have only a total of five warrior emperors including yourself, which makes us lag quite far behind the more powerful secluded families."
The great elder paused and continued, "You'll be much quicker than the others if you have this flying sword, and it'll also be very useful in combat. Your combat strength will increase significantly, and you can escape easily if your opponent proves to be too strong. Even a level seven or level eight warrior emperor might not be able to stop you because of how quick your flying sword is."
Eulon had an excited look in his eyes when he heard that.
The second elder pondered over the situation and nodded. "We ought to give it a try since the flying sword's owner doesn't have that high an attainment. Needless to say, we shouldn't let other secluded families find out about this, or else we wouldn't stand a chance of getting it again."
Eulon nodded approvingly. "That is a timely reminder. We mustn't allow other secluded families to get any information on this because those who are stronger than us would definitely want to get their hands on it as well."
Ferrol then said, "The guy has entered the city with the woman. If we try to engage in combat with them, then they might escape on the flying sword after knowing that we're too strong. We might not be able to catch up to them then." He took a deep breath and added, "If he uses the flying sword to fight back, then other people will spot it too. That would certainly attract attention from the other families."
The second elder nodded after hearing that. "That does seem to be a little troublesome."
