Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
Chapter 790 Return To The Necromancer’s Ancestral Lands
Lux found Vera gazing down on the town that was being built at the base of the mountain.
However, it wasn't only her. Gaap stood beside her, and it seemed that the two were having a serious discussion about how to counter the Divine Army of Light if they happened to reach them before Lux's Guild had successfully relocated.
It didn't take long for the two to notice Lux's presence, and they both glanced in his direction, making the Half-Elf smile.
"The two of you have serious looks on your faces," Lux said as he walked towards the two people who would always be on his side no matter what. "Smile. The world is not ending just yet."
Vera shook her head helplessly before lightly patting Eiko's and Lux's heads.
"What's wrong?" Vera asked. "Have you used the two treasures I have given you?"
"Only one of them," Lux replied. "Grandma, I need to talk to you in private for a while. Can you spare me your time?"
Gaap smirked and gave the Half-Elf a mischievous look on his face. "You're keeping secrets from me now? Don't tell me this is related to Valerie. It seems that the young lady favors you very well. How about it? Do you want to make your Grandma play matchmaker for you?"
Vera arched an eyebrow as she looked at her handsome grandson. She didn't mind playing matchmaker for Lux. In her opinion, the more great-grandchildren she had, the better.
"Master, you shouldn't tease me like this," Lux commented. "I already have two fiances."
"It's only two. Kings have dozens."
"But I'm not a king."
"We can make that happen," Gaap replied with an evil smile, making Lux believe that his Master wasn't joking.
Vera also nodded her head as if this was a very simple thing to do, making the Half-Elf apologize in advance to whatever Kingdom these two people were planning to give him.
"No, seriously. I'm not in a hurry to have more wives," Lux insisted. "Grandma, please. This is very important."
Vera no longer teased Lux and followed him inside the Guild Headquarters. She was very curious about why her grandson wanted to talk to her in private.
"Grandma, I know that we just came back here in the Outer Reaches, but I want you to take me back to the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands," Lux said with a serious expression on his face.
"Okay," Vera replied. "Shall we go?"
"… You're not going to ask me why, Grandma?"
"Although I am curious, I'm sure you have your reasons. Also, since you didn't say this in front of your Master, Gaap, I believe that you want to keep this a secret from him?"
Lux's eyes widened in shock as he looked at his grandma, who seemed to have read his heart.
"Silly boy," Vera smiled. "I was the one that gave you those two priceless treasures. Since one of them has the ability to upgrade an item to the Divine Rank, I have a feeling that you will choose to upgrade Blackfire. Did you choose to upgrade Blackfire?"
"Yes, Grandma," Lux replied. "I'm surprised that you managed to guess it correctly."
"Mmm… so, are you planning to use this Blackfire to help your Grandmaster, Hereswith?"
"You're amazing, Grandma."
Vera chuckled. It wasn't really that hard to guess Lux's plan. As long as the Half-Elf chose to upgrade Blackfire, Vera knew that the next thing he would do was to help Hereswith.
Since that was the case, Lux needed someone to take him to the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands. Gaap could have done this easily, but the Half-Elf still chose his grandma instead of his Master.
This meant that the red-headed teenager wanted to keep things as a surprise, which Vera once again guessed correctly.
"Let's go," Vera said before resting her right hand on Lux's shoulder.
Without even waiting for the Half-Elf's reply, Vera used her authority as a Pseudo-Guardian to teleport the two of them to the Holy Land of the Necromancers.
The moment they arrived, the Vampire King, Dracul, instantly appeared in front of them with a stiff smile on his face.
"W-Welcome back, Lady Vera," Dracul said in greeting. "Did you perhaps forget something?"
As the Guardian of the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, Dracul was able to sense anyone who entered it.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom The moment Lux and Vera arrived, he had already recognized their aura, which made him feel anxious.
Dracul originally thought that Vera had changed her mind and wanted to take back the Guardianship from him. Fortunately, the silver-haired lady's reply made the Vampire King breathe a sigh of relief inside his heart.
"My Grandson plans to re-enter the World Tree for a short while," Vera replied. "It seems that he needs more time to consolidate his powers after breaking through."
"Ah, that is indeed a good decision," Dracul commented. "If the two of you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. I may not always be with you, but as long as you call out to me, I will come flying."
Without another word, the Vampire King turned into a black mist and flew toward the sky.
He was worried that Vera might change her mind, so he decided to flee before the silver-haired beauty asked him to return the Guardianship to her.
"He is quite an interesting person," Vera said.
"Indeed." Lux agreed. "Well then, Grandma, I'll be off for a while."
Vera nodded. "Take your time."
Since there was only one place to go, Lux no longer tarried and opened the black Dragon Wings on his back. He then flew towards the center of the Ancestral Lands, where the World Tree was located.
A few minutes later, the Half-Elf entered the World Tree and started searching for his Grandmaster.
However, whenever someone enters the World Tree, they are brought to a different dimension that is separate from the others.
Even if all the Necromancers in the world were to gather and enter the World Tree at the same time, they wouldn't appear in the same place unless they wanted it to happen.
When Lux entered the World Tree for the second time, what he saw were countless doors hovering around him.
Finding Hereswith's door was like finding a needle in a haystack. However, Lux had already formed a connection with Hereswith from the time she imparted him spells and gave him lessons before he became a Ranker.
Using this connection, the Half-Elf's gaze locked on a green door in the distance that was emitting a faint green light.
Lux didn't hesitate and headed in that direction.
"Grandmaster, I have returned," Lux said as soon as he opened the door. "I've come here to hel—"
Lux wasn't able to finish the rest of his words due to what he saw upon entering the doorway.
The beautiful High-Elf was inside holding a bag of potato chips in her hand while watching something on the screen of her laptop.
That was fine and all, but Lux paused when he saw what his Grandmaster was looking at—a half-naked 2D man who would make certain fangirls scream "Omg! That's husbando material!"
Hereswith, who now sensed that she was no longer alone, turned around to look behind her.
Seeing her Grand Disciple, the first thing she did was to push down the monitor of her laptop and give the Half-Elf the sweetest smile that screamed of murder.
"You little c*nt," Hereswith said in a voice that would make any man's legs turn to jelly. "Why couldn't you wait for ten more minutes? I was just at the interesting part!"
Seeing that his Grandmaster's smile didn't reach her eyes, Lux slowly backed away and closed the door without saying another word.
