The Guild Master didn't change his expression. "For your pills."

Gravis squinted his eyes and spoke carefully. "But, don't you have to inform someone or get them then?"

The Guild Master looked like he understood why Gravis asked such an obvious question. After he understood, he only laughed a little. "I have already informed the elder responsible for the treasure storage," he explained. "You might not know, but starting the Spirit Forming Realm, we can send thoughts with our Spirit. I have long informed him."

"Oh," said Gravis as he finally understood. He didn't know that that was possible starting at the Spirit Forming Realm, but it seemed to make sense. The Spirit was an extension of the user's mind and soul, so it could logically also touch and convey the user's thoughts. "I didn't know."

The Guild Master only smiled slightly. "Well, there's no reason in telling you. As soon as you reach the Spirit Forming Realm, you would know it automatically," he explained with patience. "I know branch manager Aion, and I can guess why he hasn't told you about that before."
