124 A Gift from Sirius Collar!

"Wow, what a beautiful castle!"

Elena's eyes sparkled with joy, and it seemed that the Sirius Earl wasn't as short of money as she had thought.

While most parts of the Sirius Territory still appeared desolate, upon entering Sirius City, she could clearly sense a newfound vitality.

Shops and hawkers abounded, creating a bustling atmosphere. Although it wasn't as lively as the major, older cities, it was still impressive, especially considering that this city had a history of less than two months.

"Wow, is this Mr. Wilson's oil painting? Oh my God, this painting must be worth thousands of gold coins!"

"Palace red carpets, golden nanmu table sets, and these statues, my God, these art collections are astonishing!"

Upon entering the castle, Laura's eyes lit up. In just one hall, there were artworks worth tens of thousands of gold coins. The owner of this castle must be incredibly wealthy.

A noble with such fame, style, and taste was sure to be admired by most people.

"Welcome to my Sirius Castle; I am Allen, the lord here," Allen said as he descended the stairs.

With his blond hair, charming face, and aristocratic attire, Allen made a striking impression.

"He's so handsome," Elena whispered, momentarily captivated before offering a respectful greeting.

"Respected Earl Sirius, it's a pleasure to meet you. However, we are curious. Given your status, why not recruit formal junior potionists? We are only apprentice potionists, and to be honest, many of us here may struggle even to mix basic potions," a man in his twenties inquired.

"To be frank, I'm here out of curiosity more than anything. I don't have high expectations. The gap between an apprentice and a certified potionist is immense," another potionist apprentice added.

The words of the potionist apprentices resonated with the others. They had all come to the Sirius Territory with curiosity and skepticism.

Recruiting apprentice potionists was a rarity, and most had been turned away before. The nobles soon realized the vast gap between apprentices and certified potionists, an insurmountable divide.

While they were grateful for the opportunity, there was an underlying fear of being dismissed again. So, although they didn't openly discuss it, they were eager to understand Lord Allen's intentions.

"Well, don't worry, and don't concern yourselves with the possibility of being dismissed. You're here because you're welcome," Allen assured them.

He then gestured for them to follow him.

As Allen led the way, the seven apprentices sighed with relief. They had confirmation that Allen was genuinely recruiting apprentices, alleviating their fears of another recruitment mishap.

The seven apprentices followed Allen, all the while observing the grandeur of Sirius Castle. It was a luxurious and vast estate, with servants tending to its upkeep and gardens.

"Alright, we've arrived," Allen announced as they approached Nick's residence.

The seven apprentices were now more at ease, confident that Allen was committed to their recruitment.

Their journey in Sirius Castle had only just begun
