Gacha Sovereign

457 Three Months

After that day, Alex got a moment of peace. He was invited a few times to join Lilian for a mission and he accepted, considering the points reward, which basically ranged from 1000 to 2000 points. This alone managed to speed up his progress more than five times.

Of course, Lilian also did not do anything suspicious during this time, so Alex kept agreeing with the mission. And before long, he had become a silver mage.

Maintaining his speed, he continued racking up points after points, not caring about others' opinions. He already had a goal, which was to get out of this world and came back to his own group.

He also did not forget to make some cash from his Magic Runes. Although his money rate was a bit slower than when he sold his pill, Alex could balance it with his missions. Even so, Alex was considered a monster.

In just two weeks ever since he joined the guild, he had become a Silver Mage. No one thought it was impossible to him, as they knew Alex was a Tier 5 Mage. Little did they know, in the meantime, he also started amassing money from his other job and made a hundred million in his first month. Even some of them might be using his Rank 5 Moonstone Barrier without knowing it.

However, because of this, his training was a bit restrained. And even though his cultivation speed was increased after the second refinement of Undying Fire Body, it took him three months just to reach 2-Star.

Alex could only sigh upon seeing this. Sadly, he was not planning to change his current schedule and because of that, his status after three months was like this.

Name: Alexander Sirius

Tier: 5

Age: 23

Guild: Empyrean Guild

Status: Silver Mage (17300/20000)

Alex even managed to get three hundred million Spirit Stones within these three months. He might be able to buy a kingdom if he came back to Willow Continent.

It was different for his cultivation since he needed around three million Spirit Stones just to get another star. He might even need more and more money to get stronger. It was because the energy did not just go to his cultivation, but also to his soul. That way, he needed more and more Spirit Stones to keep going, especially when he needed to spoon-feed Sherry and Kyle.

Sherry woke up after the first month while Kyle woke up the following month. In total, Alex would need ten million Spirit Stones just to get one star, and it would increase even further. He might need more money for auction and such, remembering he bought a flower for his Spirit Eyes in the auction. That was why he decided to make more money and keep it. Of course, Sherry and Kyle often came with him for a mission.

After three months, Alex was searching for another mission before Lilian suddenly came over and presented him with another mission.

Alex looked at it.

Mission: Destroy a bandit group

Reward: 3 Million Spirit Stones and 2000 Achievement Points

Description: Two Hundred Tier 4 Mages, Ten Tier 5 Mages (Highest is 6-Star Tier 5 Mage)

Alex was surprised. This was a mission that was hard to come by. Not only it gave 3 million Spirit Stones, but he would also get 2000 Achievement Points. He needed to share the Spirit Stones reward with Lilian, but he did not care about the Spirit Stones reward. However, with the Guild Master's authority, they did not need to split the Achievement Points.

The guild master often offered him special requests. It seemed after he got many reports from Lilian, he knew Alex had no ill intent toward them, so he decided to trust Alex more and more by giving him what he wanted.

He also imposed an information lockdown to make sure no other guilds knew about Alex's existence, lest they would try to kidnap him and make him their own. This was his first and only worry about Alex.

"This mission is a bit hard," Lilian said.

"What do you mean?"

"The guild master said the bandits had made their base in the mountain by making many tunnels like Ant Nest. This way, they could ambush us with the unknown terrain, so we need to be extra careful." She said.

"Ah." Alex nodded. Even in these three months, Alex never really showed his Spirit Eyes to anyone, so she did not know about it. With his Spirit Eyes, he was X-rayi… Ahem, looking at their energy through the wall. This was the best power for a mission like this as no one could ambush him. "It's alright. I can handle that. Let just say I have my own ways to know their general location."

"Alright. At first, I wanted to spend time to close all the entrances and smoke them inside, but it seems not possible after considering their location and number. I can't close all the entrances without them noticing." She sighed.

"It's alright. In fact, with a large base inside the mountain, it also means that the enemy would spread. We can start ambushing each of them inside the base without anyone noticing." Alex said.

"..." Lilian paused a bit before nodding. "Yes, you are right. We can do that too as long as we can locate them."

Alex nodded. "Is there anything you wish to say?"

"Nothing. Considering we have been cooperating these three months, I know that you are strong. In fact, your power might be equal to 3-Star or 4-Star Tier 5 Mage and specialized in a big battle. Killing two hundred Tier 4 Mages should not be that hard for you." Lilian shook her head. "Anyway, I never know why you decided to join our guild instead of the other three guilds if you want to get the pass to travel."

Alex had told her that he only wanted to become a Gold Mage and the pass to cross over the continent. As for the reason, he never specified it as there was no way he could say he wanted to go to another continent just to challenge other races' trials.

Alex also knew that Lilian could know if he was lying, so he was a bit embarrassed when his lies were exposed. After that time, he decided to never tell a lie in front of her. Of course, it did not mean he would tell her the whole truth.

He just talked a portion of the truth to her and made her speculate the rest by herself. This way, she would get into her own misunderstanding, thus saving him from being exposed.

He looked at Lilian and said, "Nothing. I never care about which guild to join anyway. When I arrived in this city, I just asked the people in the town to the nearest guild, and I found this guild."

"Ah. That's why you joined this guild since you don't know anything about our guild and reputation." She sighed as she looked at Alex with a serious expression. "Are you saying you will join another guild if you come across them first?"

"Yeah, I basically don't have any knowledge about this guild." He shrugged. "Well, I might join them."

"I see, so are you planning to join another guild after joining this guild?" She looked at him while gritting her teeth.

Alex simply shook his head. "Nah. Since I have settled down here, I am not planning to go anywhere soon."

"Guild Master has done a good job in dealing with your information. If the other guilds know about you, they might poach you with money, wo...women, or even with the pass since you want it so much." She looked at him, trying to discern whether he was lying or not.

"Money, huh… I have no interest in that." He shook his head while adding, "I can make them easily anyway." in his heart.

"As for women, I will pass. I have enough experience in that, so I won't be poached by women. Once is enough for me." Alex shook his head, recalling about Alicia. He had grown up from his past self, and he could not agree on how the duke made him get engaged with Alicia back then. Of course, at that time, he was too weak, whether it was his strength or personality, to even utter his discontent.

"As for the last thing, I can only say the guild master has done a good job on keeping the secret. I might get interested in that. However, since I have been working hard in this guild, trying to get all the points I could get, I won't jump ship after this hardship. Besides, I should be able to get my pass this month after looking at my progress." Alex sipped his wine.

Alex was not lying, and Lilian knew this. She finally relieved after knowing all of that. "When are we leaving?"

"You don't like waiting, right? How about now? I have made the preparation anyway and can go anytime." She said.

"Sounds good." Alex nodded.

Lilian then turned the mission to Ruby so she could record it. "Ah, you two are going again?"

"Yes. We will be going after this." She said.

"Alright. I will record the mission for you." Ruby nodded. "If I am not wrong, Alexander almost finished the point requirement for a Gold Mage, right?"

"Yes." Alex nodded. "Just a little less than three thousand left."

"I see. This is the first time I see someone become a Gold Mage in just three months."

"This is thanks to her and the guild master. I won't get a high-level mission without her anyway." Alex pointed his finger to Lilian. "Well, not that I mind it since I can reach this level pretty quickly. At first, I thought I needed at least a year to do this." Alex shrugged.

"I see. Then take care. I will wait for both of you here and update your status cards after you finish the mission." Ruby nodded as she handed back the mission paper.

Alex and Lilian then left the guild, flying toward their destination.

Not long after they left, the guild master suddenly slammed the door open. He looked through the entire guild but did not find the ones he was searching for. He instantly appeared in front of Ruby and asked, "Where are they?"

"They?"

"I mean, Lilian and Alexander!"

"Ah. They just left for the mission two hours ago." Ruby answered. "Why are you searching for them?"

"Kh…" The guild master gritted his teeth as they suddenly heard a pleasant voice from the guild's entrance. "Ara, it seems we are late this time."

All people immediately turned their heads as they never heard of this voice. They thought they would get another new recruit, but they dropped their jaws the moment they saw the figure.

They immediately kneeled on one knee on the ground and greeted her. "Your Highness Shelka."

Shelka was coming with her maid as well as a few royal guards from the human kingdom. At first, this was an official visit, before Shelka suddenly wanted to come to this place.

"Since both of them have left, then I would need to stay for a while in this city, I guess." Shelka looked at the captain of the royal guard.

"I will pass your message to his majesty." The captain bowed and said. He was wondering why she wanted to come to this guild despite its bad reputation. It seemed that this guild had a person that caught her interest, so he would also report this to the king.

He did not know what kind of interest she had, but it seemed not a bad one. If so, they could use their authority to use this person to get a favor from the Elven Kingdom. Even the Empyrean Guild could not do anything about this.

"Then, search for an inn around here." She looked at her maid. The maid did not have any objection as they already knew her intention before coming to the human kingdom. They were tasked to gauge these two people that caught her interest, especially Alexander Sirius.

"Yes." One of them nodded and disappeared.
