Hearing Faulerei's final reminder, Valyr and the other three looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether what they had heard was correct. From what they could recall, and from what they had been told all this time, the inheritance would only accept candidates that were at the peak of Rank 2 at most.
Yet, the elder from the Imperial Production Guild was telling them to ascend to the next rank as soon as possible? Was he telling them to ascend right now?
"Elder Faulerei, I apologize for asking." Wanting to know why the elder had blurted it out all of a sudden, Hal decided to ask him in the stead of others. "If I remember correctly, the reason why we've limited ourselves to the peak of Rank 2 is so that we could enter the inheritance, right?"
Looking at Hal, Faulerei nodded in response. "That is correct."
