Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

"Allow me to formally introduce myself again," Bentley bowed respectfully. "My name is Bentley and I am the Vice-Guild Master of Game-shin Impact Merchant Guild. Pleased to meet your acquaintance."

"Nice to meet you too," Lux replied as he looked at the Vice Guild Master who looked like a tone-deaf-bard, wandering the land looking for the best alcoholic drinks available.

Bentley smiled before nodding his head. "Since we have made our introductions, let's get down to business. You want your Guild Headquarters built on top of this mountain, right?"

"Yes," Lux nodded. "I'd like it to be built over there."

Lux pointed at the ideal spot where he wanted to have his Guild Headquarters built.

Bentley looked at the location and rubbed his chin.

"You will have to pay additional fees for the creation of a clearing on that mountain peak," Bentley stated. "As you may already know, we can't possibly just build your headquarters on that spot without a proper foundation, so we need to do some demolition."

"How much will it cost?"

"You will need to add 500,000 Gold Coins to the original price. So the total will be 10,500,000 Gold Coins."

"That's fine."

If it was before, Lux would try to bargain with Bentley to lower the price of the demolition services, but since he was now rich, he didn't bother to bargain.

"But, I have a condition," Keelan, who was standing beside Lux, started. "during the demolition, any precious metals, ores, or gemstones that are unearthed will belong to us."

Bentley chuckled after hearing Keelan's condition. "I have no problem with that. Well then, you will be paying us upfront, yes?"

"Of course," Lux said as he tossed Bentley a storage ring containing 10,500,000 Gold Coins.

He had already prepared 10,000,000 Gold Coins in the ring in advance, but since they needed to pay more, he added the remaining balance before giving it to Bentley.

After seeing that the payment was paid in full, Bentley snapped his fingers and a portal, similar to a wormhole, appeared behind his back.

"Glee, Kenneth, and the rest of you guys, come here," Bentley said. "Time for some Boom Boom Bakugan Remodeling."

A little girl with pink hair, wearing little red riding hood clothes, popped out of the wormhole, followed by a silver-haired teenager with crimson eyes. Several other figures appeared before them, wearing fashionable clothes, and, with a glance, the Half-Elf could tell that they were strong.

"Hello, I am Glee," the little girl with the red riding-hood said. "I'm really good at fixing things!"

"Uhh, are you an Elf?" Lux asked. "You look like a child. Isn't this child labor?"

"Huh? What do you mean child labor?" Glee tilted her head innocently. "What even is child labor? Does that mean I can't help?"

Bentley chuckled as he patted Glee's head. "Don't worry. Although she looks young, she's actually a Knight. Knights are allowed to work, so it's not child labor."

"... Well, okay. I look forward to a job well done, Glee."

"Un! You can count on me! So, where is the place that needs to be demolished? I like demolishing things!"

Bentley then pointed at the mountain in front of them, making the little Elf jump happily.

"Wow! So big! This is going to be fun!" Glee said as she ran towards the location that Bentley pointed at.

"Kenneth, look after her okay?" Bentley said. "Make sure to not let her get carried away."

The silver-haired teenager gave a thumbs up before raising his fist high up in the air.

"Kenneth's Adventure Team, assemble!"

Several of the people that accompanied Kenneth and Glee posed beside Kenneth, putting the Power Rangers to shame. This scene also made Lux wonder if he had chosen the right people to do the job.

"Relax, we might be an easy-going guild, but we will get the job done," Bentley assured Lux who seemed to be having doubts about their abilities.

Before the Half-Elf could even reply, a powerful explosion sounded in the distance, making everyone in the vicinity look in the direction where Glee had run off to.

"Boom Boom Bakugan!"

The little-red-riding hood threw some red bombs on the mountain peak, creating powerful explosions that shocked not only Lux, but Randolph and Keelan as well.

"T-That little girl is a Ranker?" Randolph's mouth hung open in disbelief. "J-Just how?"

Originally, they couldn't figure out how Glee would be able to demolish an entire mountain peak on her own. However, after seeing how powerful her bombs were, Lux's, as well as the two Dwarfs', impression of the little girl took a ninety degree turn.

"Boom Boom!" Eiko happily jumped up and down on Lux's head as she watched the powerful explosions in front of her.

Ever since she planted the Bone Bombs inside the Twilight Ship, the little Slime developed a fondness for making things explode.

The entire peak was covered with dense smoke as consecutive explosions were heard in the background.

Lux had already informed his guild about what was happening in the Guild Chat, preventing them from thinking that they were under enemy attack.

Half an hour later, the explosion stopped, and the smoke that lingered on the mountain top was dispersed by the wind.

"Looks like Glee's done with her demolition work," Bentley commented. "Let's go and see the fruits of her labor."

With Bentley leading the way, Lux and the others followed behind him.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw a very satisfied Glee, whose face was covered in soot but with a very sweet smile on her face.

"Guild Master, Mission Complete!" Glee saluted Bentley who saluted her back.

"Good job, Glee," Bentley said as he took a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the soot off the little Elf's face.

Lux looked at his surroundings, and nodded his head in satisfaction. The entire Mountain Peak was destroyed properly, and they only needed to level the ground to make it even.

"Everyone stand back!" Kenneth shouted as he jumped high in the air and pulled back his arm. "Teamwork is dreamwork!"

The silver-haired teenager punched the ground, creating a shockwave that was imbued with the power of flames.

The rough surface of the mountain peak became somewhat even, as if it was an asphalt road paved by a Road Roller.

"By the Earth Goddess! Another Ranker," Keelan gasped. "Is this really a Merchant Guild that specializes in construction projects?"

Bentley, who heard Keelan's comment, patted his chest with confidence before boasting about his Guild's specialty.

"All of my guild members are experts in the field of construction," Bentley commented. "They even have licenses to prove it."

"Umm… that is not what I'm trying to say." Keelan chuckled, but decided to not voice what was really inside his head. 'All of you are Rankers and you guys are doing construction work? All of you must be very bored.'

"Well then, now is the fun part," Bentley said as he handed Lux several scrolls for the design of their Guild Headquarters. "What design do you want your Guild Headquarters to be modeled after?"

Lux accepted the scrolls and checked them one by one.

Randolph and Keelan did the same and voiced their opinion on the matter. Several minutes later, Lux gave Bentley the design that he chose for their Guild Headquarters.

After seeing the design that Lux chose, a smile appeared on Bentley's face, making him give a side-long glance at the Half-Elf.

"You're quite ambitious huh?" Bentley commented. "Very well, but this design will cost more than the others. Originally, your budget is 10,000,000 gold coins, but if you choose this design, it will be doubled."

"I don't mind, but do you accept other currencies aside from gold coins?"

"Of course. There are times when our clients don't have enough cash on hand, so they settle the rest using their valuables like gemstones, etc."

Lux smiled as he took out a Draconium Ore from his storage ring and handed it to Bentley, making the eyes of the tone-deaf-bard widen.

"Well, well, well… I didn't expect you to trade something like this," Bentley took a closer look at the Draconium Ore in order to confirm if it was authentic. "Draconium Ore, and it is of high quality! You are one big customer, My Friend."

"Will that be enough?" Lux asked.

"No, but if you give me four more of these, it will be enough."

"Okay, we have a deal."

Lux didn't bat an eye as he took out four more Draconium Ores, all of the same size as the first one he gave the other party, and handed them to him.

Parting with five pieces of Draconium Ore didn't hurt him one bit because he still had over a hundred thousand of them in his storage. As long as the design he chose was built properly, he was sure that it would create a great commotion, making those who lived in the Outer Reaches change their opinion of his Guild.
