Goodbye

"Your Majesty, are you leaving already?" Old lady Yao asked.

"Yes," Alex said. "Why? Is there something important you need to tell me?"

"Yes," the old lady said. "The Scale Legion's commander, Long Jianyu came over again. He said he wanted to make sure our promises were being kept."

"About the Alchemy exchange? Of course, it's being kept. Why would he have to ask that," Alex said. "Besides, why is he even here? Did he not leave yet?"

"He has left a few times, but the army itself hasn't. They just haven't done anything that would be worth mentioning so we haven't reported it to you," the old lady said.

"Hmm, we'll talk about it in detail when I come back in a few days," Alex said. "Oh yeah, I will be bringing a lot of my friends, including my master, so make the best preparations you can."

"As you say, your Majesty," the group nodded.
