Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1957

Severin placed them away in his spatial ring. He looked at the disheartened Emery and reminded her, "Don't forget your promise. From now on, you'll be my maid! I'll give you a few days to get ready before reporting for work at Pearl Light Isle!"

Severin ascended into the air to join Diane and the others. Diane asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

The contest had been a risky one, especially considering the extraordinary quality of the cauldron Emery wielded. The twenty percent boost in success rate was significant, and other alchemists might have struggled against Emery. Fortunately, however, Severin emerged victorious with the elite-quality pill."

"Didn't I tell you to trust me?" Severin grinned as he looked at Diane's worried expression.

After reminiscing over what happened, Severin said to all of them, "You can return to Pearl Light Isle. Inspiration struck me while I was crafting pills earlier, and I can sense myself making a potential breakthrough. I'd like to re-enter the Alchemy Tower's sixth floor and explore further."

Severin did not let the joy of his triumph get to his head. He had gained a deepening understanding of alchemy when crafting the Crystal Spring Pill, and he had a feeling that his next visit to the Alchemy Tower would turn him into a sixth-grade high-rank alchemist.

The group nodded considerately, knowing that alchemists often experienced epiphanies during the crafting process. Before they left, Diane advised him, "Don't push yourself too hard, Severin."

With that, they all flew back toward Pearl Light Isle. He then gazed up at Ferland suspended in mid-air and declared, "I had an epiphany while I was crafting the pill earlier. Let's chat some other time. I'm going into the tower to explore my suspicions."
