Chapter 631: Guild Guardian

When Mason returned, he was rather alarmed to see only so few were left. Jeanny told him that they had come to a decision and the others had matters to deal with so they left first. She then informed the royal advisor of their individual and team composition for the world tournament.

Mason wrote the information down. Before they left, Mason reminded them again to gather in front of the royal palace in the morning two weeks from now.

When Jack left the room with the others, he just remembered that he had planned to talk to Red Death and thanked her for the save. But again, the girl had left before he had the chance. Jack could only put it on hold for later.

"Do you have any plan for these two weeks?" Jeanny asked Jack when they were outside. It was night already outside.

"Well…," Jack was originally planning to ask Flame to take him to the native who could craft pet equipment, but Flame informed him that she had a personal quest she needed to take care of first. "Do you need help with something?"

"Yes. Actually, it's for the guild. We have just completed building a special structure yesterday," Jeanny answered.

"A special structure? How special? Is it something that is constructed from a blueprint like the Ice Towers?" Jack asked. He hadn't paid attention to the structures on the guild page. Several new structures had gone up, he didn't know which one Jeanny was referring to.

"Better if I show it to you," Jeanny said and took out his Guild Return Scroll. "Let's go back to the Heavenly Citadel."

Jack complied. Everyone used their scrolls and they appeared inside Heavenly Citadel's teleportation chamber. The others went to the lodging quarter to rest, while Jeanny took Jack up to the rooftop where the Hero Altar was located.

"What are we doing here?" Jack asked.

"Do you see anything particular from here?" Jeanny asked.

Jack looked around. He thought the structures still looked the same as yesterday. He couldn't find any structure that he thought was absent the day before.

Peniel was giggling beside him.

"Do you know which structure she was talking about?" Jack asked Peniel.

"Of course. I have already talked about this structure with her and John before we have this headquarters. It is only available for level 3 guild," Peniel answered.

"Oh? Then that meant it is a standard structure. Why do you say that it is a special structure?" Jack asked Jeanny.

"Because it required a specific terrain to build. Not every guild headquarters can build it. They might build a similar one but it will probably be a different type based on the terrain around their headquarters," Jeanny answered.

"Terrain?" After being provided with this particular clue, Jack started to observe further, not just the structures nearby. After a while, his eyes landed on something in a distance.

"Is that… Are you talking about that?" Jack said as he pointed.

"Bingo!" Peniel exclaimed.

"Yes, that is called Sky Garden Peak. You can check it on your guild page," Jeanny said.

The place she mentioned was the series of mountains on the east side of their headquarters. The mountains were considered as part of their territory. Those mountains were where their mines were built. Thanks to the mountains, the mineral that they mined from there were especially rich.

On the highest peak of these mountains, there was now a beautiful landscape that was not there before. There were lightings on this peak, allowing it to be visible at night. Jack's Dragon Eye allowed him to look rather far. This peak now looked like a man-made garden. There was even a large pond with a waterfall.

"That is very beautiful. How do we go there?" Jack asked.

"We don't," Jeanny answered.

"Then what it's for?" Jack asked.

"Didn't she already ask you to check your guild page?" Peniel said.

"Can't you two just tell me?" Jack grumbled as he opened his guild page. He searched for the Sky Garden Peak.

"Guild guardian?" Jack asked after reading the description.

"Yes. A guild can have a guardian. You can see it as a guild's pet," Peniel answered. "While Beastmaster can tame a medium-sized pet. A Guild guardian can be a large-sized pet. The first requirement for a guild to get this guardian is to build a related structure corresponding to the twelve monster types. Different monster types required different terrains."

"I figure a draconic guardian needs a mountain terrain then?" Jack said.

"Not just any mountain. They need to be of sufficient height for a Draconic monster. Luckily, this headquarters had such a tall mountain," Peniel said.

"Not just the mountain, our headquarters have a lot of the special terrain required for different types of guardians. For example, that lake can house a structure for an Aquatic-type guardian. The forest there can have a structure for beast-type guardian," Jeanny added.

"That means we can have lots of guardians?" Jack asked.

"Unfortunately, a level 3 guild can only build one guardian-related structure. Same as your Hero Altar can only hold one hero at current guild level," Peniel explained. "As your guild levels up, you will be allowed to build an additional structure to house a second guardian."

"Amazing!" Jack said. "So you choose Draconic because it is the strongest monster-type?"

"Unfortunately, also the hardest to tame. That's why we need your help," Jeanny said. "I've gathered all our top experts for tomorrow morning. We can depart to hunt and tame our guardian."

"How is the taming process?" Jack asked.

"A bit more complicated than Archer's pet taming. We have to reduce our target's HP to below 30%. Once it did, we use spells or tools to restrain it. While it is restrained, we throw this to where it is standing."

Jeanny was holding a small cube. Jack used inspect on it. It was called Giant Capturing Cage.

Jeanny continued her explanation, "Once thrown, it will form a giant cage. Our target will then be trapped inside this cage. When it is trapped, we will use this to attempt the taming process."

This time, Jeanny took out a magic scroll. Jack checked it and found that it contained Tame Draconic Guardian spell inside.

"This is a special scroll that is only available for our scrollmaking workshop to produce after that Sky Garden Peak was constructed. I have ordered our scrollmakers to focus on producing it since yesterday. We should have six of these scrolls by tomorrow morning. Once the taming process is successful, the monster will be automatically transported to the Sky Garden Peak. It will then live there as our guild guardian, coming to our aids when needed."

"We only have six of that scroll? If it is similar to archer's taming process, there should be a chance of failure when attempting the taming, right? Shouldn't we make more?" Jack asked.

"We don't have enough materials. Aside from the requirement of having that special structure, this scroll's production also needs rare materials. We're not sure how much longer we need to wait if we collect more materials."

"The success chance will increase if the scroll is used by a beastmaster who has maxed out his Tame Pet and Master Tamer skills," Peniel added.

"That's where you come in," Jeanny said.

"I see. Okay. Don't forget my luck stat, I'm sure it will jack the success rate up," Jack said.

"But still, taming a large monster is no easy feat," Peniel said. "Aside from the hassle of reducing its HP to 30%. Every time you use the taming scroll, there is a chance for the beast to become agitated. When it did, it will break the cage and its HP will return to full. Meaning you people has to fight it again to bring it down to 30% before attempting another taming."

"Does it mean we need more of that Giant Capturing Cage as well?" Jack asked.

"We did. Unfortunately, we have even less of this cage. Only four," Jeanny said. "The production of this cage needed special materials and even longer time. Also, only Kirsi who is a basic master blacksmith can produce such a cage at the moment."

"In other words, we only have very limited chances," Jack said. "Well, no worry. With my luck stat, I believe everything will turn out just fine."

"Your optimism is reassuring. Thanks," Jeanny said.

"I was only joking… but sure, you're welcome," Jack said. "How many will join us in this hunt?"

"I don't think too many people is a good idea. It will be difficult to stalk our prey if our number is too many. I have sent out orders for one hundred of our top members to gather for this."

"Okay. I will be there tomorrow morning," Jack said. "By the way, do you already have a target location?"

"The Jagara region, that is the place where it is most easy to find a draconic monster at your current level," Peniel said. "But we will head from another side than the one you go previously.

"Any specific draconic monster in mind?"

"The place I have in mind is home to the flame drakes."
