The Man's Decree

“I’ve truly never heard of this illness you speak of. It seems I still have a lot to learn. Initially, I had no intention of attending the Alchemist Fair, finding it a waste of time since it was nothing more than a place where Supreme Alchemists fished for fame. But now, I’ve changed my mind. I can’t keep living with my old mindset. Thank you very much!”

Hartwin gratefully patted Jared on the shoulder.

Initially, he had no interest whatsoever in the Alchemist Fair.

However, that changed because the latter’s appearance made him realize just how little he knew, the illness Jared spoke of unheard of to him.

“Well, we have something to learn from everyone, Mr. Bellamy. Aside from having to improve your medical skills, you also need to put some effort into matters of the heart. I believe that Winona can see your efforts,” Jared said with a laugh.

Hartwin was momentarily taken aback, but he then broke into a grin. “I will.”

Subsequently, he warned, “But you also need to be careful. After all, a hundred-year offering by the Demon Seal Alliance is incredibly tempting. Even with King Bernard’s protection, there will always be those who will take risks when a great reward is at stake. You must stay on guard!”

Although Jared had Allardland as his backing, there was no absolute guarantee that no one had him in their sights.

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Bellamy, I’ll be on my guard.”

Jared gave a nod.
