The construction of Lux's Guild Headquarters would be completed in ten days, so Randolph and Keelan decided to return to the Kingdom of Gweliven for the time being.
Cai, who was busy hunting treasures with Fei Fei, was busy touring the floating island, while the Kobolds were starting to build a temporary nest inside the crater of the Mountain Range.
Cethus, who only returned to the floating Island three days later, was surprised to see that the construction of Lux's Guild Headquarters had already started.
Although he had a great dislike for the Kobolds, he had no choice but to endure his irritation as he observed the construction of Lux's guild.
Several Dragon Borns, as well as Dragons, who were also curious about what was happening on the third floating Island also visited from time to time.
The days passed slowly, and Lux's Guild Headquarters was starting to take shape.
Thousands of Guild Members of Game-Shin Impact had come using Bentley's wormhole on the first day and worked hand in hand to speed up the construction work.
Even the Blue Dragon could be seen carrying big slabs of white marble and placing them in the right places, doing the heavy lifting by itself.
While all of this was happening, Bentley just drank cider with Lux, as he told the Half-Elf the tale of his adventures across the many distant places in Elysium.
"Our Guild Headquarters can be found at least eight-thousand miles away from Karshvar Draconis," Bentley explained as he lightly shook the bottle of cider in his hand. "Fortunately, I had visited Pygmalion City once before, and saved its coordinates using my ability. As a Merchant Guild, we travel to different places, so it is always good to have many waypoints in the various cities that will allow us to travel faster."
"I see." Lux drank a cup of tea as he watched Eiko and Glee play tag in the distance.
Since Glee's specialty is destroying things, she wasn't allowed near the construction site in order to prevent anything from being destroyed.
"But, seriously, I never thought that the one and only Mythical Guild in the world would hire us to make their Guild Headquarters," Bentley commented. "You grant us a great honor. Too bad, I can't add your Guild's name to our Portfolio."
Lux, who wasn't paying too much attention to what Bentley was saying, almost choked on his tea because he never told Bentley the name of his Guild.
While the Half-Elf was having a coughing fit, Bentley just smiled as he gazed at the construction work in the distance.
"Why are you so surprised?" Bentley asked in a teasing manner. "We are a Merchant Guild. Naturally, when I accept a commission to build a Guild Headquarters, I am able to see what the name of the Guild is. I guess you should be thankful that you chose us to build your Guild Headquarters. I am someone who knows how to keep a secret."
Lux looked at the young man with gratitude. He didn't plan on divulging the name of his Guild for the time being to anyone, so having Bentley keep it a secret for him was a good thing.
"After your Guild Headquarters is built, you will be building some other guild facilities, right?" Bentley shifted his gaze to the Half-Elf with a businessman look on his face. "Make sure to call us again when you have the funds to pay for the construction work. Of course, we will accept Draconium Ores as well."
"Good. I did think of hiring you guys again to build other guild facilities when you've finished our Guild Headquarters," Lux stated.
Bentley then asked what other Guild Facilities Lux wanted to be built, and the Half-Elf voiced his thoughts.
A while later, the bard gave the Half-Elf a few more scrolls so that he could choose the design of the Guild Facilities that he wanted to be built.
Now that he had the Draconium Ores to fund his construction projects, the Half-Elf decided to build four things first.
The Alchemy Shop, the Smithy, the Bestiary, and lastly, the Teleportation Gate.
"Bentley, you have a dragon with you," Lux said as he looked at the design of the Bestiary. "Do you think it is a good idea to have Dragons as a mount for my Guild Members?"
"No," Bentley replied firmly. "One, two, or even a dozen dragons will be fine, but having hundreds of them will not only give you a headache, but it might also make Karshvar Draconis your enemy."
The bard then drained the bottle of cider in his hand before giving out a loud burp.
"In the North of Elysium, there is an empire covered in snow all year round," Bentley explained. "They have captured several Ice Dragons and forced them to slavery. The moment the eggs were laid, they would be moved to a different facility where they would be trained to become mounts of their Dragon Rider Cavalry.
Their Emperor ruled his lands with an iron fist, and his Dragon Riders were his ultimate trump card against the other nations that surrounded his borders.
"His circumstances are different from yours. Since your Headquarters is located in the lands of Dragons, making Dragons your mounts will make you an eyesore to the Dragon Borns, as well as the Dragon King. If you want to live long, don't ever plan on taming Dragons to be mounts for your Guild Members."
Lux sighed in his heart because his plan to create a Dragon Cavalry was not possible.
"Then, do you have other suggestions?" Lux asked. "I'd like to have mounts that are able to fly, and can fight when needed."
"Well, you can get Wyverns, Griffins, Rocs, Cockatri, Pegasi, Qilins, etc, or you can build flying mounts like Gargoyles," Bentley replied. "If you're not too picky, giant insects will also do—like Giant Wasps and Butterflies. There are so many options to choose from, but don't tame Dragons in the Kingdom of Dragons. That is just asking for a beating, so make sure to not make that mistake."
A grunt reached Lux's ears, which he believed came from Keoza, whose spirit resided inside the Dragon Token in his possession. Clearly, the Crystal Dragon was voicing his opinion that Bentley was right.
"Your guild is still in its infancy stage, and you don't have any Rankers in your guild," Bentley continued his explanation. "It will be best if you do your best to lie low for a while and focus on strengthening yourselves.
"Also, I don't recommend training or gaining experience in the territories around Karshvar Draconis and the lands under these floating islands. There are many roaming Deimos, Argonaut, and Dreadnaught Monsters in these lands, and Apostles like you will easily become their snack. You can explore this region once you become a Ranker. Before that, you should choose the places where you do your exploration with care."
Bentley shared his knowledge with the Half-Elf, allowing Lux to learn a lot of things about the world of Rankers, which he was very grateful for.
After ten days, his Guild Headquarters was finally built, allowing his guild members to finally step foot in the Outer Reaches and see the place that would become their base of operations.
"Wow! A Castle!" Heidi clapped her hands as she looked at the castle that was perched on top of the mountain.
"Lux, My Boy, I thought you were only planning to build a Guild Headquarters," Cedwyn commented. "Are you planning to build a Kingdom instead?"
"A Kingdom? That's too much work," Lux replied with a smile. "I just want our Guild Headquarters to look good, and a castle has enough space to house our other Guild Facilities, making it the perfect option."
"You have outdone yourself again, lad," Thoram nodded his head in satisfaction. "With this, we can say that we have finally made our mark on the world. We are no longer homeless vagabonds."
Cethus, who was listening to their conversation from the side, snorted.
"By the way, Lux, what is the name of this Guild of yours?" Cethus asked. "I've been with you for nearly two weeks, and I still don't know the name of your guild."
The Half-Elf smiled as he gave his Guild Members a knowing glance before shifting his gaze to the black-scaled Dragon Born, whom the Dragon King had assigned to supervise him.
"Remember this Cethus, and remember it well," Lux said with a devilish smile on his face. "The name of our guild is… Ars Goetia."
