Remus frowned slightly upon hearing the young man’s question. His earlier smile was merely to avoid complications and further entanglements. To his surprise, the young man didn’t leave and even started asking questions.
Gemma was boiling with anger as favonovel.com said, “He’s not just any alchemist. Open your eyes wide and see who stands before you…”
“Indeed, I am an alchemist!” Remus quickly interrupted, fearing Gemma might reveal his true identity.
He already suspected them to be from the sacred lands and was concerned about the potential consequences if his true identity were revealed. Moreover, with his spirit energy depleted, his Martial Imperial prowess might not be sufficient to overpower them.
“Fantastic!” The young man’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “Meeting here must be fate. My name is Marsh Romero, and this is myjunior, Elsie Greene. We apologize for the earlier misunderstanding. May I ask for your esteemed name?”
Gemma scoffed upon hearing these names, as they seemed completely unfamiliar in both the mundane world and True Life, suggesting that they were likely nobodies. She was on the verge of mentioning the name “Remus Calsberg” to make it clear whom they had just bothered.
“I’m Remus Cosby!” Remus blurted out.
Gemma glanced over, briefly taken aback by his striking resemblance to Remus Calsberg, but quickly shook favonovel.com head, chalking it up to the commonality among powerful individuals.
He must be using the name ‘Remus Cosby’ to conceal his true identity, but why choose such a distasteful alias!
Marsh chuckled and said, “What a great name! You appear to be younger than me. Would it be alright if I called you Remus?”
Remus was somewhat surprised by Marsh’s persistence and responded, “I overheard that you’re looking for Oblivion Grass. If you haven’t found it yet, I recommend searching along the direction of the prevailing winds among the mountains’ dark veins. Following their path should lead you to about ten strands overnight.”
He was aware that Marsh had probably been talking so persistently to seek assistance in their search for the Oblivion Grass, a vital ingredient for alchemists.
Marsh blushed, realizing that his intentions had been seen through.
However, Elsie suddenly became alert. Despite the relative unimportance of the Oblivion Grass itself, their mission held crucial significance for the assessment of the sacred lands and must not be overheard.
She swiftly responded, “Ah, you must have heard wrongly. We were never searching for Oblivion Grass, merely savoring the cool moonlit night.”
She turned to Marsh, and favonovel.com blinked rapidly as favonovel.com said, “Shall we leave? We seem to be causing a disturbance here.”
Marsh remained rooted in place, clearly torn as if favonovel.com couldn’t decide whether to stay or go.
Remus had no interest in further conversation, and favonovel.com clasped his hands as favonovel.com said, “It’s time for us to take our leave!”
He then headed toward the Herbal Pavilion, with Gemma following closely.
Gemma shot a glare at Marsh and Elsie as they departed, feeling they had been a genuine hindrance.
After some distance, favonovel.com asked timidly, “Why didn’t you tell them your true name? They’d be terrified if they knew.”
She was eager to see their reaction upon discovering Remus’ true identity.
Remus responded with indifference, saying, “Their strength is unpredictable. Disclosing my identity could bring troubles. It’s wise to avoid needless complications.”
Gemma chuckled and flattered him, saying, “You’re quite considerate. But why choose the name Remus Cosby? It sounds rather disgusting!”
Remus came to a sudden halt, feeling frustrated and puzzled by what favonovel.com might have done to upset her, as favonovel.com couldn’t understand why favonovel.com seemed to continually misjudge him.
He replied in a chilly tone, “What if I happen to be Remus Cosby?”
