Chapter 364: Lux’s Secret [Part 2]

"Calm down, Gerald," Rainer replied as he eyed the Half-Elf who still had his head lowered and was looking on the carpeted floor. "Do you really think that Alexander is so petty as to use this method to force us to cancel our agreement with Lux to join Nero's Guild? I highly doubt it. This matter must be quite serious for him to go as far as to make a binding contract.

"I am very interested to hear his reason, so if the two of you aren't going to sign, please leave the room immediately. I want to know why a Saint would intervene with our agreement with Lux and take this matter into his own hands."

Gerald frowned, not expecting that Rainer would decide to take a gamble that placed him in a great disadvantage.

"Oi, boy, tell me the truth," Gerald said as he looked at Lux. "This is not about your conflict with Nero, right?"

Lux, who had his head lowered, finally raised his head and looked at Gerald with a determined gaze.

"No," Lux answered. "This is not about me and Nero."

"Is this something that might affect Wildgarde Stronghold?"

"In a way, yes. But, if no one says anything, everything will be fine."

"On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, how serious is this matter that you and your step-father wanted to talk about?" Gerald inquired.

After learning that this meeting was not due to Lux's conflict with Nero, he felt as if his curiosity was piqued due to how seriously Alexander was handling this issue.

Lux spread his two hands and showed Gerald all ten of his fingers, causing the latter's brows to furrow.

Half a minute later, the Commander of Wildgarde Stronghold scratched his head as he pulled the contract on the table and signed it with a huff.

"Okay, there." Gerald handed the contract to Alexander before sitting with his arms crossed. "This better be good!"

Natasha sighed and signed the contract as well. Since Gerald and Rainer had already accepted the agreement, she had no other choice but to follow suit. Also, she was quite curious about what the big secret was all about, which made the atmosphere inside the room very tense.

The High-Cleric noticed that Alexander's secretary, Alicia had left the room after Rainer signed the contract. It seemed that this matter was highly confidential that even the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy refused to have his trusted secretary participate in the discussion.

After all three contracts were signed, Alexander waved his hand, and the white papers turned into particles of light, flying towards Gerald's, Natasha's, and Rainer's chest. This was the proof that the discussion was about to start.

"Everyone, please don't be surprised by what you are about to see," Alexander said before glancing at Lux. "Show them."

Lux nodded and summoned his Soul Book. He then opened it and flipped to the Guild Page of his Soul Book and gave Gerald, Natasha, and Rainer permission to view it.

The moment the three of them saw what was written in Lux's Soul Book, a curse escaped Gerald's lips from surprise.

Natasha had completely lost her calm and her mouth hung wide open, making her unable to close it due to shock.

Rainer, who was the most curious of them all earlier, felt cold sweat forming on his forehead. He had already suspected that Lux and Alexander were about to show them something big. But, he didn't expect it to be THAT big.

"Dear God," Natasha muttered after she finally regained a bit of her senses. "J-Just how did this happen?"

Natasha felt scared for the Half-Elf because this matter was simply too heavy to ignore. As people who held influence among others, she knew more than anyone else the significance of having a secret this big.

"It hasn't even been a day since we heard the announcement," Gerald said weakly as he stared at the red-headed teenager, who was looking at him with a smug expression on his face. "You little critter. What kind of token did you use to create your guild?"

Lux didn't hesitate and took out the token that he received from Keoza. He passed it to the Commander of Wildgarde Stronghold.

The token was now Soul Bound to him. All he needed was a single thought for it to instantly return to his hands. It couldn't be stolen no matter what, so it didn't matter if he allowed someone to hold it.

Rainer, who was observing the token in Gerald's hand, gasped after recognizing some of the runes written in it.

"Draconian Runes!" Rainer exclaimed. "This token was made by a Dragon!"

As a craftsman who specialize in armor, weapon, and accessory crafting, Rainer was well-versed in runes. Depending on the quality and power of the rune embedded on a piece of equipment, their ranks and power would be increased.

Because of this, he had studied many ancient languages, as well as the runic inscriptions that they had inscribed in their items. One of the languages that Rainer studied was Draconian, allowing him to recognize the runes that were inscribed on the token's surface.

"Where did you get this?" Rainer asked Lux with bloodshot eyes. "How did you come to possess this item?"

Lux and Alexander had already discussed this matter beforehand, and had come up with a fool-proof excuse to explain the Dragon Token's existence.

"I found it on the Gate of War," Lux replied. "It is one of the items that the army general dropped when we were fighting him."

"You found it in the Sacred Dungeon?" Rainer heaved a deep sigh before shaking his head. "To think that something so precious could be gained inside the Domain of the Fallen. I thought that the Sacred White Lotus was the only prize that could be found there. We have truly underestimated the dungeon's significance."

Rainer felt regret that the representatives they had sent to explore the Sacred Dungeon returned with so little resources. Compared to what Lux gained after clearing the two Dungeons, the gains of the Storm Dragon Guild lost its significance.
