Hooded Devils

An hour later...

Khione had finally returned back into her fortress as the mounting pressure finally subsided.

Andrew's and Emei's ceaseless concoction stopped too as they were now free to live their lives as they both engrossed themselves in alchemy for a while.

Eventually, Andrew was summoned to the throne hall as it looked like Khione wanted to share some news.

"I am here, O' my lady" Andrew gave a knightly bow as he put on a face full of reverence and respect, but Khione didn't seem bothered about it as it was just another novelty added to the everyday activities.

"Senior sister, I think we can finally send scouts to the muddy biome?" Andrew asked as this was the best time to impose his agenda.

"We can do that" Khione nodded smilingly, quite different from her usual cold personality.

"Then, the sooner the better" Andrew remarked with a glee.
