Chapter 201: New Equipment (1)

"Leave the Ruins? Has your breakthrough gone to your head?" Riyald asked with a hint of worry. William was starting to remind him more and more of his old Disciple, who after achieving a bit of success went out to make a name for himself and was killed in the process.

"It's not what you think, Master. I'm only going out for some ingredients, and I will come right back." William replied quickly. He didn't mention the Thieves' Guild.

Riyald calmed down a bit when he heard William's reasoning, although he was still concerned. A good Disciple couldn't be easily replaced, and William's various Magic Affinities turned him into a great asset for his experiments.

Riyald wasn't going to give that up easily, but he knew that keeping the boy locked up in the residence would do more harm than good, especially if William was determined to leave.

"I will allow you to go out on one condition, Disciple William." Riyald answered after a long time.
