Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2120

The incoming streaks of light that rushed toward Pearl Light Isle reminded Myles that hesitation could cost him the chance to persuade Severin into joining him at the Seventh Mountain. He cleared his throat and offered, "I'll be blunt, Severin. Come with me to the Seventh Mountain, and I shall bestow upon you the title of elder!"

Severin's brow furrowed in confusion when Myles offered such a high position all of a sudden. It was vastly different from the offer to becoming an instructor. Though such instructors were nominally regarded as a teacher, they were nevertheless given a position as honorary elder. However, the salary, responsibilities, and authority were much more limited compared to the actual elders. Many of the peak's elders were paragons, and no one had yet to break the precedent of appointing a supreme saint as an elder!

Before he could delve deeper, another booming voice resonated. "I didn't think you'd be so shameless, Myles! Did you think offering the position of an elder would be enough to convince him?"

A middle-aged man in black training clothes appeared beside Severin. It was none other than Rowan, the Eighth Mountain's peak master. He did not seem too pleased as looked over at Myles.

Severin cupped his hands in a respectful salute. "Hello, Mister Rowan."

Rowan's expression then softened into a warm smile. He nodded, then glanced at Severin from head to toe before asking, "My friend! It seems you are now a seventh-grade alchemist, yes?"
