Pavilion Master!

Pavilion Master was quite pleased after seeing those three dumbfounded faces and continued, "Yes, a herb higher than Golden Grade! But regrettably, it was stolen from Dulce by a petty thief and that's the whole reason for the event one year ago."

Her tone was serious but there was a hint of humor mix within.  Because she was actually happy about Vance's misfortune.

Vance was quite egotistic and didn't place anyone in his eyes because he was a peak azure grade alchemist. Some people even believe that he's at the juncture of breaking into Purple Grade!

This Pavilion Master also came here because of the rumor about Vance being able to break into purple grade and most importantly the power behind her got an inside intelligence directly from the Golden Hammered Kingdom royal family one year ago. It was about the emergence of a mysterious herb that can help the Golden Hammered Kingdom lep in the sky with one step!
