Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



"Be honored, Half-Elf," Piccoro said. "Because I'm very generous, I'm letting you pick three of the five storage rings that I extorted from those Saints. Um, you're not allowed to check the contents of each ring. Just pick three at random, and that's that."

While Lady Augustina was escorting the floating island to their new home, Aur spoke to her telepathically and snitched to her, letting her know about the things that Piccoro did after the battle ended.

Because of this, the Steward of the Crystal Palace ordered Piccoro to give Lux half of what he had collected from the Saints, making the Dragon Born feel embarrassed.

Although he did help in defending Lux against the Saints of the Divine Army of Light, the one who ended the battle was still the Half-Elf, who had used a weapon that he had never seen before.

Since he had been caught red-handed, Piccoro had no choice but to share his ill-gotten wealth with the red-headed teenager, who was now looking at the five rings on the palm of his hand.

"Since His Excellency is being generous, I will not stand on ceremony," Lux smiled as he chose three rings at random.

He really didn't care what was inside them, but they still belonged to Saints after all. He thought that he might get something good from them.

Piccoro felt like his heart was bleeding after losing half of his gains in a heartbeat. Even so, he had no choice but to smile and nod his head, as if he really was a very generous person.

Seeing this look on his uncle, Cethus chuckled from a safe distance away.

Piccoro had already given him a storage ring, and he had no plans on giving it back. Naturally, Lady Augustina turned a blind eye to the ring that her grandson gained from Piccoro, making the Royal Guard very happy.

An hour later, they arrived at a mountainous area that had a lake in its center.

A glance was enough to tell Lux that this was the location that Lady Augustina had chosen for their Guild Headquarters.

Since the floating island was hovering in the sky, Lux was able to see a town that was at least a mile away from their new home.

Lady Augustina had already informed the Mayor of Vesperia, Nidus Novario, of Lux's arrival, so he and his men went to greet their Steward, as well as their new neighbors, with smiles on their faces.

"Greetings Your Excellency," Nidus said in a respectful manner. "It is our honor to see you in our humble domain."

"Don't stand on ceremony, Nidus," Lady Augustina replied with a smile. "I trust that you will take good care of your new neighbors for me."

"Of course, Your Excellency," Nidus promised. "As long as I am able to help them, I will lend them my aid."

Lady Augustina nodded. "Good."

The Steward of the Crystal Palace then shifted her gaze to the Half-Elf, who was standing in front of his Guild Members that were currently present on the floating island.

"Lux, you already have the coordinates of the Teleportation Gates of the Royal Palace," Lady Augustina stated. "Feel free to visit me anytime if you need anything else. Of course, even if you simply want to chat, you are free to come as well."

Seeing that their Steward was treating the Half-Elf in a special manner, Nidus and his men confirmed that their new neighbors were true VIPs whom they must form a good relationship with.

"Thank you, Lady Augustina," Lux replied. "You've already done me and my Guild a great honor by inviting us into your Domain. I wish that our Guild and the Crystal Palace will be able to forge a stronger relationship in the future."

Lady Augustina smiled after hearing Lux's statement.

After being briefed by Keoza, the Steward of the Crystal Palace knew that Lux's Guild wasn't an ordinary one.

In fact, it was the one and only Mythical Guild in the world that transcended all Guilds.

Although the Half-Elf was still a Low Ranker, she had high hopes for him. But, for the sake of his subjects that were around her, she decided to act in her role as the Supreme Ruler of the Crystal Palace.

"Whether we will be able to forge a stronger relationship or not in the future will depend on your abilities, Young Lux," Lady Augustina replied. "Remember. You can only stay in our Domain for a year. Within that year, I will protect your Guild Headquarters from any hostile attacks that are coming from outside our borders.

"Of course, this protection will not extend if you choose to leave this place, or if your Guild Members choose to travel outside of my territory.

"Even if the Divine Army of Light were to hunt you down, if they were to do it outside my territory, I will not lift a finger to help you. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Your Excellency," Lux replied as he bowed respectfully to one of the most powerful Supremes of Elysium.

Lady Augustina nodded before shifting her gaze to her sister, Lady Faustina.

"Sister of mine, there are a lot of things that we need to talk about," Lady Augustina stated. "How about you accompany me back to the Royal Palace?"

"Sounds like a plan." Lady Faustina smiled.

The right-hand woman of the Dragon King of Karshvar Draconis then gazed at Valerie before looking at the Half-Elf with a solemn expression on her face.

"I will be leaving Valerie in your care for a while, Lux," Lady Faustina stated. "Make sure that she doesn't get into trouble while I'm away."

"Of course, Your Excellency." Lux nodded. "I'll make sure that people look after her while you are away."

Now that his Guild Headquarters had safely arrived at the territory of the Crystal Palace, Lux could finally leave with some peace of mind.

He had put his journey to Agartha on hold for the entirety of the trip because he was very worried about the safety of his people who were on the floating island.

Bentley and his members had temporarily stopped their construction of Lux's town because of the possibility of being attacked by the Saints from the Divine Army of Light.

During their battle, several structures that had already been built were destroyed due to the aftershock of Eiko's tactical nuke.

Naturally, Lux promised to increase the budget for the town's construction and compensate the Merchant Guild for their troubles.

'Eiko, I need you to ask Glee a favor for me,' Lux said through telepathy.

After telling the Baby Slime of what he wanted to be done, Eiko happily went to find her best friend and pass along her Papa's message.

After seeing firsthand how powerful the Homing Tactical Nuke was, Lux decided to ask the two Bombardiers to make him one before he went to Agartha.

He didn't know what kind of people he would be meeting there, and he also didn't know if they would be hostile or not.

For the sake of their own safety, he planned to bring a nuke with him to use as deterrence, just in case something unexpected happened.

However, he truly wished that there wouldn't come a time when he needed to use it, especially in a Kingdom that was located thousands of meters under the ground, near the Core of Elysium.

If he were to use such a destructive weapon in a very sensitive place, he didn't know what kind of repercussions would take place above ground.

Above ground where people were living their lives in peace, and unaware of the existence of the Legendary Kingdom, which was said to be as old as the first ever World Tree of the High-Elves who currently resided in Espoire Frieden.
