Meanwhile, in another part of the estate, Severin was sitting alongside Wuhlricht and the former Skyblue Sect elders. After arriving at the higher realm, their chance encounter with the Chorteau siblings and subsequent decision to save them led to Severin being invited to become their honorary elder. Bit by bit, they were beginning to develop a preliminary understanding of Nontwo City.
Wuhlricht was the first to address the group. "Based on my conversations with the Chorteaus' other elders today, we are in Southsky, where Nontwo City is located. The most influential figure in the city is the mayor. Though he is only a level nine royal saint, he is rumored to be a disciple of the Grandiuno Sect. The remaining powerful families include the Lischalts in the south, the Gahrrs in the north, and the Walpens in the east. Each of them has more than two level nine royal saints, and that qualified them as first-tier families in Nontwo City. Other families like the Chorteaus have, at most, level seven or level eight royal saints."
Following Wuhlricht's explanation, Felipe chimed in, "While the Chorteaus may lack a high number of experienced fighters, they do have a lot of practitioners who are below level five royal saints. On our way here, I noticed about twenty or thirty practitioners who are level one and level two royal saints. The Chorteaus are considerably more powerful compared to the overall strength of the Skyblue Sect as at our departure."
This news left Samuel and the others puzzled for a moment. The Chorteaus were, after all, just a second-tier family. However, the elders were content to know that the spiritual energy in the Bluerealm was superior as compared to the Skyblue Sect.
Gilda could not help but raise a question to Severin. She wanted to know why he suddenly decided to no longer keep their attainment a secret in front of the Chorteaus. "Why did you choose to display your strength today?"
Sofia, Diane, and Sheila looked on curiously too. "Yeah. Didn't we decide to keep a low profile and familiarize ourselves with our surroundings before making any significant moves?"
"Rourie would still have treated you with respect even if you had capped your strength at level six royal saint."
