Joela let out a soft sigh, then immediately pushed aside those unforgettable memories. They had a mission to accomplish now; this was not the time for reminiscence.
The world had been changing quite rapidly these years, so quickly that even Joela was overwhelmed with bouts of helplessness.
Take the Alchemy Workshop, for example. Drastic changes had occurred, led by the younger generation with Kuyi Tulan and Milo at the helm, quickly sending the previous Golden Twelve Seats into the Elder Council. Joela wasn't exactly considered part of the younger generation, but he was certainly among the benefactors of Chief Kuyi Tulan's ascension.
It wasn't just Joela. The entire Alchemy Workshop owed a debt of gratitude to Chief Kuyi Tulan.
Had he not held firm back then, the notion of Battle Alchemy could have been delayed by several years.
