"I'm honored, sir," Yman replied while slightly bowing his head with his hands straight down on both sides, showing great respect to the elder.
Elder Gatan's eyes smiled.
"Let's walk as we talk."
"Yes, sir."
Looking at the direction where they were heading, it seemed they were heading back outside through the hallway they used to come inside. Yman silently followed the elder, though it never left his mind to wonder why he was called here.
The water sprite earlier, already disappeared after fulfilling her task, so it was only the elder, Yman, and Sistela that were heading outside.
After a few steps, the elder opened his mouth.
"I heard about your slow level. Is this because of an illness or a natural cause?"
