Chapter 265 - Legion Building
Chapter 265 - Legion Building
One week had passed since the group trained in the inner consciousness of Souta. They were confident in their newly gained strength.
This training couldn't be done without the help of a god-level powerhouse. This was their huge advantage compared to the other people in this world. They could access an inner consciousness of a god.
It was a privilege that only a few people in this world could receive. Even those great nobles didn't have something like this.
The group completed their preparations and right now they were going to move to the next part of the plan. They had to pass the request for forming a legion.
The headquarters of the Dark Legion was completed. Souta hired some experts to renovate his house to a five-story building.
"Today, this will be our home," Souta said while looking at the building in front of him. He used most of his money in creating this building. He also bought barrier stones to set up a protective shield around this building.
"Oho! I don't have to stay in my small house!!" Bryan said with excitement in his voice. He was thrilled to live in a big building like this one.
"Yay! I'll live with everyone! I will not be left alone in Sister Mila's room!" Cl.u.s.ter was excited for a different reason.
"You know Cl.u.s.ter, we're students so we have to go to institute and you will be left alone here," Brando said to Cl.u.s.ter.
"At least, Yuko is here." Cl.u.s.ter replied as she stuck out her tongue.
"Let's enter and pick our room," Souta said as he stepped forward and entered the building.
Lumilia and the rest looked at each other before they entered the building.
As soon as they stepped inside the building, they saw a huge and wide hall. Quest boards were placed on the corner of the hall but it didn't have a quest in it yet. Round tables were placed around the hall and there's the reception at the side of the hall. It looks like the hall of the Adventurer's Guild. Stalls were placed around and Souta planned to sell potions and other necessities using these stalls.
They went up to the second floor. The second floor was the floor for the newcomers who want to stay in this building. It was reserved for them. There were fifteen rooms on this floor in total.
The third floor was the same as second floor. It has the same purpose too.
The group went to the fourth floor. This floor looks like the same as the first floor but it was different. The floor was divided into three parts. The first parts were the rooms while the second part or the middle part was the hall and lastly, the third part was the reception and treasury.
This floor was for the high-ranking members of the legion. B-rank and above. Of course, there was an exception to it and they were the original members of the Dark Oculus, the founding members.
Souta told Lumilia how he wants to establish a point system in his legion and she did everything on her own. Actually, the plan of this entire building was her idea. She thoroughly planned this building.
The point system was the same as the institute. The adventurers would complete a quest and every time they completed a quest they will gain points. They could exchange it for various potions or anything inside the treasury be it mana fruits, weapons, spell books, combat arts, or armors. Anything as long as it exists inside the treasury, they could exchange it for points.
At first, she rejected his idea of creating a point system as they wouldn't gain anything from it but Souta insisted that he wanted it so she could only follow him.
She wouldn't understand him if he said that he wanted to receive points from his system. This point system was to encourage the newcomer to complete a quest so that Souta would receive points from his system every time they finished a quest.
It's a win-win situation for him. Material things exchange for points in his system.
The fifth floor was the same as second and third floor. This floor was also for high-ranking officers and the rooms of the founding members were here. Souta's room was also here.
Everyone picked their room on the fifth floor. After that, they brought their things and start arranging it inside their private room.
"Okay, everything's complete now. We just need to pass the request." Souta clapped as he gathered everyone's attention.
"Let's head to Adventurers Guild," Lumilia suggested. Today was the day that they will request to change their party to a legion so they had to make it quick.
"Right," Yujin nodded.
"Y-Yeah, I hope everything will work out," Lynn said in a concerned tone.
"Don't worry, nothing can stop us," Souta smiled at her as he assured her that everything's according to plan.
"I'm ready. We can go there any time." Alice said to them. Her attire was that of purple-grade leather armor and white tight jeans of the same grade. Brown-colored boots and silver color armguards.
"Sure, let's go." Souta nodded as he turned his head and looked at the object that was wrapped in bandages. He needed this thing to make sure that nothing stops him.
Also, his contract with Jimmy was approved. The other executives of the Lanny corp. decided to support him. He didn't know what Jimmy did but it was a great work making everyone support him.
Well, it doesn't matter if the Lanny corp. supported him or not. He still has a lot of backup plans and one of these was this object.
...
The group went to the Adventurers Guild. Everyone from the Dark Oculus was here.
As soon as they entered the guild, they gathered the attention of everyone's eyes.
"Oh, it's Souta!"
"I haven't seen you for a few weeks!"
"Oi! Oi! Souta, I heard that you're a B-rank now."
"Where did you go?"
"Oi! Didn't you know that he went to Eternal Empire?"
"For real?"
"Yeah..."
Souta ignored those voices as he walked towards the reception. He opened his mouth and asked the receptionist, "Can you call the Guildmaster? I wanted to talk to him."
"Please, wait for a moment, sir." The receptionist said in a polite tone before she left.
"Hmm...? I thought that you're going to pass the request." Yujin asked Souta.
"Yes, I'm going to give it to the Guildmaster. Don't worry about me, just focus on your exam." Souta replied to Yujin.
After a few minutes, the receptionist came back and called Souta. She guided him to a room on the second floor of the building.
Yujin, Brando, Bryan, Alice, Lumilia, and Lynn were left at the reception. They still have other things to accomplish to complete their goals.
Souta could leave them alone without worrying about them. They've grown stronger in the past week. They were much stronger compared to the time when they subdued the White Jade Spider. They were different from before.
"Don't worry, we'll finish it with a bang!" Bryan said confidently.
...
Souta was in a room alone with a middle-aged man with short silver-colored hair. The man had sharp features and he was exuding the pressure of a veteran warrior that fought countless fights.
This man was none other than the Guildmaster of the Adventurers Guild of Ladros city, Francis Graevu. He was a B-rank when he was an active adventurer ten years ago but he stopped exploring dungeons when he reached A-rank. After that, he took the role of Guildmaster of this branch.
"I want to congratulate you for becoming a B-rank," Francis said to him. He was observing the young man in front of him. He heard various rumors about him but it was his first time seeing the famed Souta personally.
The young man who fought and defeated Lord Gregory, the head of the Vidrato family.
The man who saved the Fersch dukedom from destruction.
The man who held the six-circle officers of the Deadly Sins before the Flame Master arrived.
The man who subdued a third evolution White Jade Spider using a party full of C-rank.
His achievement in battle was so high that the Ladro Institute valued him to the same level as Yanagi Shiina.
Right at this moment, that young man was officially a B-rank adventurer. Reaching the realm of the strong fighter.
A fighter who was strong enough to join a party of B-rank to subdued a third evolution monster. Normally, that was the case. A party of B-rank adventurer would be the one to subjugate a third evolution monster but Souta defied the impossible.
This was the first time that this ever happened in the history of Adventurers Guild. A fifteen C-rank adventurer taking down a full-grown third evolution monster called White Jade Spider was impossible if he was to say it.
"Thanks, that was nothing," Souta replied in a polite tone.
"So can I know the reason why do you want to meet me, the Guildmaster?" Francis asked Souta as his tone changed into a serious one. His expression too became fierce while looking at Souta.
"Hmm... How should I say it? I have come here to make a deal with you." Souta grinned widely.
