"Is it time for us to go?" Gaap asked.

"Yes, Master," Lux replied. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Two days after they arrived at the territory of Crystal Palace, Lux finally decided to leave his Guild Headquarters and go to Agartha.

He didn't leave right away since there were a few matters he needed to discuss with the Mayor of Vesperia, Nidus Novario, such as the supplies they needed for the construction of the town that Bentley and his Merchant Guild were taking care of.

Due to the attack from the Divine Army of Light, several of the structures that they had built had been destroyed.

Fortunately, the foundations of these structures were still intact, so they did not have to start all over again. The only problem was that the raw materials they had would not be enough to cover the project to completion.

Nidus agreed to supply Lux with the materials needed to complete the construction of his town for a fair price.

Since the Half-Elf was a guest who had been personally escorted by their Steward, Lady Augustina, he deemed that taking advantage of them would definitely be a bad move.

Not only would it create a bad impression, but it would also draw the ire of the Supreme who ruled over the territories of the Crystal Palace.

"Have you said your goodbyes?" Gaap asked in a teasing tone. "You did, right?"

Lux nodded. "I bade everyone goodbye."

"Good." Gaap smiled. "Let's be off then."

The Half-Elf and the Halfling were currently at the top of the mountain, overlooking their new home. Lux took a deep breath before taking out the Key of Agartha, which would take them to their next destination.

ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "Gate, open!" Lux stated as he activated the key in his hand.

A moment later, he, Eiko, and Gaap turned into particles of light as they were transported to the Legendary Kingdom of Agartha, which was said to be located deep under the ground.

————————

When the light receded, Lux and Gaap looked at their surroundings, wondering if they were really underground.

"Did you perhaps use the wrong key?" Gaap asked as he stared at the clear blue sky that was above their heads.

There were also animals grazing from a distance, which looked like bison and wild horses.

Lux was just as confused as his Master, so he immediately took out his Soul Book in order to check if they were brought to the wrong place by the Key of Agartha.

This was not the first time he experienced teleporting to a different place from the destination he had in mind.

When he was in the Sacred Dungeon, he found himself in Zangrila after entering the Gate of Famine, where he met his Master, Gaap.

Seeing that they were in a place that had a sky, Lux wondered if something similar happened this time around.

However, after checking his Soul Book, he confirmed that he was in the place where he wanted to be.

< Terrel Plains >I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

— The Terrel Plains is home to many creatures that are native to this land. It is also a popular trade route for merchants who travel to the different cities within the Kingdom of Agartha.

— It is the home of the Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss known as the Red-Eyed Honey Badger. The locals treat it as the Guardian of the Terrel Plains. It is very easy to anger, so it would be best if you stay out of its way if you happen to see it traveling in your direction.

"So, are we in Agartha?" Gaap asked Lux for confirmation.

"Yes, Master," Lux replied. "We are in the Terrel Plains, which is part of the Kingdom of Agartha."

"Interesting," Gaap commented. "Seeing the sky deep underground broadened my horizons. Now, where do we go next?"

"According to my map, if we heard North, we will arrive at Rishi City," Lux replied as he gazed at the map in his Soul book. "It is the closest city near our location."

"How far is Rishi City?"

"Forty miles, Master."

Gaap nodded. "Since that is the closest city, we'll head there first. Just to be clear, what is our goal in coming to Agartha?"

"I'm here to find a girl named Aurora and take her with me to the surface world," Lux replied. "I don't know if she is imprisoned, but she is all alone in a very dark place. It is so dark that even my Dark Vision cannot see anything."

"Aside from her name and the location she was in, do you have any other information that might help us?" Gaap inquired.

"Sorry, Master," Lux answered. "That is the only thing that I know. Originally, I planned to come to Agartha to explore it. But, after meeting Aurora, I know that I need to get her out of that dark and lonely place."

Gaap pondered for a bit before nodding his head. "Although we have very few clues, perhaps we can find more when we meet the locals of this kingdom. For the time being, make sure to not do anything to antagonize them. Be on your best behavior, and more than anything else, do not fight with anyone, okay?"

"Yes, Master." Lux smiled.

He wasn't someone who actively sought trouble.

Trouble was the one who always came looking for him!

Lux then summoned Jed to allow him and his Master to travel more swiftly to their next destination.

As the Thunder Warg King ran through the sky, the Half-Elf, and the Halfling made sure to observe their surroundings and see if there was something amiss.

So far, they hadn't seen anything out of place, aside from the Beasts that they were seeing for the first time.

Lux was also monitoring his Soul Book in order to avoid the strong monsters that were inhabiting the Terrel Plains.

Although fighting these monsters was not a big deal with their fighting ability, Gaap told his Disciple to not engage any Monsters for the time being.

As someone who had traveled with Hereswith when she was still alive, Gaap had a vast knowledge of the traditions and cultures of different places.

Some of them worshipped certain Beasts, and killing these Beasts was akin to the gravest of sins. There were even times when these monsters would put a life-long curse on those who attacked them, making the offender regret his decision for life.
