Novel Full Chapter 361 Mythical Guild, Heaven’s Gate [Part 2]
Lux was personally escorted back to Leaf Village by Boreas and his men. All of them had been briefed by Thoram to keep their identities as Guild Members of Heaven’s Gate a secret.
Naturally, all of them accepted their Commander’s orders, knowing that now was not the time to make themselves known to the world.
Lux’s Guild was still in its infancy stage, and his Guild Members were still weak.
Cadmus, Sid, Cai, Keane, Thoram, and Keelan were the strongest fighters at the moment. The rest of Lux’s Guild Members were Grade B Apostles and below, which was decent, but not strong enough to protect their Guild from the bullying of long established guilds in Elysium.
It was highly possible for Lux to be captured and be forced to hand over the Guild ownership of Heaven’s Gate. That was something that they didn’t want to happen. With this in mind, keeping a low profile—despite their Guild being the hottest topic of discussion across the entire world—was the best option they had.
“Don’t worry, My Daddy!” Cai said as it ran beside Lux’s mount, Jed, with a smile on its face. “I won’t tell anyone about this! You can count on me.”
“Good.” Lux replied. “I know that I can count on you, Cai.”
“Hahaha. But of course, um. I’ll just brag to my Gramps that I’m a member of the only Mythical Guild in the world. Hahahaha! I’m sure that he will lose his marbles once I let him see my Soul Book. Xander too. I’m sure that he is very troubled right now because I left the Guild. I’m sure that he will understand why I left after letting him see my Soul Book as well.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Boreas glanced at Lux and gave his Guild Master the “Can I roast this boar, please?” look, which the Half-Elf was almost tempted to approve of.
He was now regretting his decision to add the chatterbox Cai to his Guild, and wondered if he should really eliminate the Boar that might cause his downfall.
Cai, who felt something was wrong, glanced at the Riders of Norria who had already drawn their weapons and were looking at it as if they were going to skin it alive, making its heart tremble.
“Hahaha! I was just joking!” Cai said as beads of sweat appeared on its forehead. “You guys are too serious. Can’t you see that I am just joking? Of course I am going to keep this a secret. I mean, I’m very good at keeping secrets~”
“Cai, please keep this a secret,” Lux said. “We’re not strong enough to protect our Guild. I hope you understand that this Guild is very important to me. You can brag about it in the future, I’m sure that everyone will look at you with admiration and even idolize you by then.”
The Boar’s pupils shook as it imagined itself standing on top of piles of gold coins and other treasures, as people worshipped it as one of the founders of Heaven’s Gate.
“Don’t worry, My Daddy,” Cai said as if it was a general that was about to go to battle. “I’ll keep this as a secret and surprise my Gramps when I become a Ranker. I’m sure that I’ll be strong enough by then.”
“Okay,” Lux nodded. “You can tell your Grandpa after you become a Ranker.”
Being a Ranker was the bare minimum when it came to having the power to protect oneself in Elysium. Anyone below that Rank, including Initiates, were just little kids in the eyes of adults and were simply asking for a beating.
“Man~ I can’t believe that creating a Mythical Guild is this easy,” Cai commented. “Maybe I should create a guild of my own. Knowing me, I’m sure that it will also be Mythical. Perhaps, even Legendary!”
“Just tell me when you want to resign from your position, okay?”
“Hahaha. This is still far in the future, okay? We still don’t even have a Guild Base. Um? Why can’t we build our Guild Headquarters in other places? Why is there a restriction?”
Cai was quite excited to see what their Guild Headquarters would be like. Usually, Guild Headquarters were built in Major Cities in order to have the opportunity to become the City’s Protector, allowing them to gain great benefits throughout the duration of their term.
This was similar to the competition that was held in Whitebridge City, where the Guild that ranked the highest in the defense of the city would become its City’s Protector.
Lux also didn’t know where Karshvar Draconis was located. Fortunately, the Dragon Token, whose true name was the Token of Bahamut, was capable of bringing him to that place once every three days.
The Half-Elf was very tempted to go, but he still had some loose ends to tie up in Leaf Village. He also wanted to ensure that his Guild Members, especially his Master, Randolph, who was known as a braggart, would keep mum about the identity of their Guild.
It didn’t take long before they arrived in Leaf Village, and the first thing that Lux did was gather his Guild Members and have their first Guild meeting.
Lux explained the things that Thoram and Keelan had told him, and asked everyone to not mention anything about the Guild for the time being.
After hearing the Half-Elf’s explanation, Cedwyn put his plan on hold for the time being.
Originally, he wanted to open a Guild Branch in Leaf Village and directly recruit the Foreigners (Solaians) who had just arrived in their village. But since Lux had asked them to keep their Guild a secret for the time being, the Village Head postponed his plans and decided to focus on doing the groundwork for the future.
“We will do our best to hasten increasing our Rank so that we can walk proudly under the sun,” Lux stated. “But until then, we need to lie low or else we risk being nipped in the bud before we can even fully grow.”
Everyone agreed with Lux’s words and, after an hour, their meeting ended.
Cadmus chatted with Lux before he left Leaf Village. He planned on adding the elite members of the Kobolds in the Guild, so that all of them could benefit in the Guilds Buffs, especially the 100% Increase in Experience Points.
Unlike Lux, who could only increase his stats by consuming Beast Cores, the Elysians and Solaians could only level up by killing monsters.
Because of this, the Experience Buff was a very important buff that the Draconic Kobold didn’t want to waste.
The Half-Elf agreed with Cadmus’ plan to let the Kobold Clan enter the guild. With Cadmus as their leader, he believed that the Kobolds would grow faster and become one of the staunchest vanguards of his Guild.
Sid planned to stay in Leaf Village for a week to spend some time with his sisters. He would rejoin Cadmus in the Savage Lands after his short vacation in order to get stronger.
Heidi’s mother, Lilia, also went to have a private talk with Lux, asking if Bedivere could stay with her for a short while.
“You see, Heidi has been pestering me to let her have a little sister and little brother,” Lilia said with a beet-red face. “I know that my husband had already pledged his sword to become your knight, but can you give him a few days off? I haven’t seen him for years.”
“Of course,” Lux replied with a smile. “I’ll give him a week’s vacation. Please use that time to give Heidi a little brother or sister.”
The blush on Lilia’s face turned a red shader after hearing Lux’s answer. In truth, she was worried that her husband would go with Lux right away after only being reunited for a short period of time. Now that she had gotten the Half-Elf’s approval, she felt relieved. Bedivere would finally be able to spend some time with them and catch up on what had happened over the two years that he hadn’t been home.
The next day, Lux, Cai, and Keane bid goodbye to everyone and embarked on their new journey.
Now that his Guild was created, it was now time for him to go back home to Solais. However, he didn’t plan on going to Wildgarde Stronghold right away.
Right now, he was a hot potato, so he needed to talk to his Step-Father, Alexander, about the status of his Guild. He also needer to send a letter to Gerald, who was the Commander of Wildgarde Stronghold, to meet with Lux in private within Barbatos Academy.
Since the matter of his Guild was quite delicate, he only wanted to inform the people he trusted, so that his secret would not spread in the world before he became strong enough to stand on his own.
