YM778.TV Chapter 341 - 341
One man\'s \'garbage\' was another\'s man\'s treasure, and Darius had long since planned to auction some of it.
However he also wasn\'t suicidal, so he would only do it after his stats reached the Grandmaster stage, likely after he completed his next Quest and entered the Adept stage.
Speaking of his next Quest, he would get to it right after his territory was could function autonomously without him at the helm. With his current power, Darius didn\'t dare to proclaim himself invincible, but he felt that he was well prepared.
After all, unless Caesar changed the rules again, something Darius checked for every morning and evening in his System\'s changelog, the difficulty of the Quest was set to be 100 times the average Faustian\'s stage up.
Ultimately the actual subjective difficulty of the mission should vary based on how powerful and resource-rich Darius himself was.
Otherwise, there would really be no point in bothering to power up while avoiding leveling up.
As for Jeanne, she resolutely drank the Lunar Dew and felt her body shiver. The Queen could only let out a shameful moan as she felt extreme comfort from every cell in her body, her soul down to her very atoms being healed and refreshed.
Jeanne almost fell to her knees due to how strong and potent the liquid was, but she managed to remain upright. What was even better was the fact that Jeanne felt far, far better than she had ever felt in her life. It was as if she had literally been reborn.
She could feel herself glowing as she actually crossed the threshold of the Adept stage and turned into an early-stage Master on the spot.
Behind Jeanne, Darius observed the silhouette of a valiant Valkyrie on a horse, her sword pointed to the distance.
Darius smiled and he rubbed his chin.
This proved his conjecture that Lunar Dew used on a person not bound to the system would grant far more than a measly restoration of stats and a cure for ailments.
Apparently, it but could organically boost them in various ways!
He felt funny, since he and his Branded Servants practically drank Lunar Dew on the daily. Most of their water and drinks contained a small tinge of Lunar Dew, merely for the taste aspect.
Sadly they would never benefit from the passive effect.
Jeanne eventually completed her stage up, the light coming from her body receding peacefully. It had to be said that causing phenomena like that when upgrading meant that her future was Boundless and that the Valkyrie bloodline was truly top-tier among Angelic species.
Jeanne gazed at Darius with soft eyes, and it took her last bit of reason not to rush him down and kiss him all over. Being gazed at so intensely but Jeanne, even the composed Darius blushed slightly.
He coughed to hide his awkwardness and nodded to Jeanne. "Now that you are a Master, you\'ll be able to deal with the issues pertaining to the invasion and the hearing in my stead. You\'ll also have to stabilize your kingdom, so I\'ll give you and Elijah three months."
"After that, I\'ll be waiting for you in my territory. Here\'s a map to its location." Darius said while handing her a map.
Jeanne nodded and took it, still gazing at Darius as the fellow blinked away. Jeanne breathed in and felt her increased power before solemnly swearing to do everything she could to win Darius\' heart.
She refused to believe that there could be a woman out there who loved Darius more than she did. She just had to prove it to him honestly and Darius might reciprocate her feelings.
The first step on her journey to his heart would be to make sure the task he left to her was completed to perfection!
............
As for Darius, he didn\'t go to pick Gunner up. He had no desire to spoil the fellow\'s happiness. By the fact that Gunner had neither contacted nor returned to him, it could only mean that Celia had reciprocated his feelings and the two were on a pseudo-honeymoon.
As for Xela, her updates told him that their group was currently spelunking in an ancient ruin, so she would return when she was done.
The territory was also still being constructed, yet Darius felt confident that Foldo, Shanks, and Jorge were more than enough to supervise it to perfection.
As such, Darius decided to head back to Elysium and enter the restricted section of Krona\'s Library. He would return after three months to see the progress of everything he had set up so far.
With that in mind, Darius blinked back to the territory and entered his Mage Tower. At the highest floor, there was a large portal that had been constructed using the best materials and the highest quality space stones, making it incredibly stable compared to others like it.
Not only that, it was one-way!
It would allow anyone to teleport almost anywhere in Faust through it... however you\'d have to find your own way back! Also, you\'d need specific coordinates of the locations you\'re heading to.
Naturally, Darius had the coordinates for the Great Library of Krona. Once he calibrated it successfully, he walked through and appeared on their other side, which just happened to be the alleyway behind the library.
He wasn\'t going to appear inside the library, but also didn\'t want to appear right in front of it. No, that would have been foolish and risk provoking God.
On the other hand, appearing in such a quiet area was not infringing on anyone\'s dignity but Darius\' own.
He exited the corner and headed to the front of the library. As he still had his membership card, he went through the VIP entrance without anyone blocking him and climbed right up to the door of the restricted section.
Seeing Darius enter easily, those who were lined up to spit out their precious information for a crumb of time in the restricted area were shocked and jealous.
Darius met the five clerks who managed the various sections, and they were surprised to see Darius again. After all, not many people had the chance to come in here, and they all remembered that their God himself had come down just to meet this fellow.
Of course, there was also the fact that he had earned a whopping 25,000 hours with whatever information he had inputted, which was an unprecedented achievement!
