Sovereign of the Firmaments

"The following day after the auction, the mages guild is opening one of their dungeons that was just outside the Silverstone town. The guild invited geniuses from all over the Barren firmament saying that there was one advanced spell, three intermediate spells and more than a dozen basic spells."

Soon, Manager Rean explained about the opening of a dungeon by the Mages Guild.

Since he decided to help Lucas, Manager Rean already had something that came up today morning. Except for the guild and the top families, others didn't have the slightest clue about it.

No one knows the origins of the dungeons as they were in various locations from ancient times. From time to time, there would be new ownerless dungeons and as long as you get the dungeon core, then the dungeon would belong to you.

When a newly formed dungeon opens, there would be countless rewards along with dangers and once it was cleared, the new owner of the dungeon could place his own items as bait to invite others to enter it.

As for the reason why he would be inviting others into the dungeons, is because the more people die in the dungeon, the more benefits the dungeon owner gets. So, he was willing to bait some of the rewards to invite others.

"Dungeon?"

Lucas was shocked when he heard that because this firmament is called Barren firmament for a reason.

As for the Dungeons, they were rare and given great importance even in his previous firmament.

"That's right! According to our adventurer guild's intel, this dungeon of mages guilds was last opened 12 years back and it was a complete blood bath. Only three young men came out of the dungeon and one of them is the current guild leader of the mages guild in this town."

Seeing the shocked look on Lucas' face, Manager Rean gave some more information.

'This world is really insane.'

Even though he said, deep down, Lucas was really liking this world.

"There is something more to this matter, right?"

Lucas asked Manager Rean expecting something more from him because the matter of this dungeon had just come and the mages guild would make sure that the news about the dungeon and rewards inside it to the entire firmament.

Because the more people enter the dungeon, the more benefits the mages guild would get.

"Yes. The mages guild is auctioning a few items and among them, there were a few talismans that could directly send you off the dungeon if you were killed in the dungeon, along with a few briefly drawn maps."

"So, it is basically a lifeline in the dungeon."

Lucas understood as he nodded his head before saying, "Thank you, Manager Rean for the information."

"Yes and this time the mages guild had oddly kept a limit on the strength of the participant making all the top families and other guilds displeased; however, no one can say anything to the mages guild because it was their own dungeon."

"Limit? What kind of limit?"

Lucas became curious because it was very rare of the dungeon owners to put restrictions on the entry. So, he asked about it.

...…

In the mages guild of the Silverstone town.

"Guild master, I still didn't understand why you kept the strength restriction for the participants entering the dungeon."

Felix asked the guild master Elliott regarding the restriction.

"Do you know what benefits we get from this Silverstone town's dungeon?"

The middle-aged man Elliott asked Felix who looked to be in his late twenties with a slight smile on his face.

"Isn't that information classified, Father?"

Felix shook his head while calling Elliott 'Father'.

"Since you have a great father like me, I can break those rules...Haha."

With a chuckle, Elliott continued, "There are two types of rewards we will get from these dungeon runs. One, it is a strength crystal that could increase someone's strength as long as they absorb the energy from that crystal."

'So that's where those crystals came from.'

Felix was shocked for a moment before nodding his head.

"And as for the other one, it was a talent crystal that could increase someone's talent in a particular field. So, the restriction I kept on it will allow only the young ones with the strength less than tier 1 lesser knight and lesser mage to enter the dungeon."

Soon, Elliott explained the reason for the restriction for the participants.

"But, what if the participants didn't have much talent?"

Felix thought there was a problem with that kind of restriction and asked his father about it.

"Haha...it doesn't work like that. As long as the young men were less than 20 years and had strength less than the lesser knight and the lesser mage, all their talents can be merged before the dungeon gives us at least a viscount level talent crystals.

And that's the reason why I never left this town because of that dungeon. As long as I have it, I can increase your talent slowly with time and finally the time has come to open the dungeon. So, be prepared to increase your talent."

"What?"

Felix was shocked as he finally understood why his father was adamant about staying here despite the fact he got the promotion to other towns that had less work but more pay compared to the Silverstone town.

Soon, he became excited as he hugged his father.

'I will make you a Heavenly Mage at any cost. Even if I have to kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people, I will not think twice to do it if it could increase your chances of becoming the heavenly mage.'

Elliott muttered to himself as he patted his son's back.

'Don't worry, father. I will definitely become powerful and take revenge against those two bastards.'

At the same time, Felix was also thinking something in his head as his determination to become stronger grew even more after seeing how much his father cared about him.

"So, where are you going back to the institution?"

In the next moment, Elliott asked Felix.

"I will leave after this auction."

With a smile, Felix replied and as for participating in the dungeon, why would he participate in it when it was his father who would manage it?

If he wants something he likes, then he would directly ask his father and take it and even if he entered and came out unscathed with his own efforts, people would point their fingers at his father for giving a back door for his son.

"Here, take this card. It has 10000 gold coins and if you like something in the auction, buy it. But don't offend anyone."

Elliott casually gave a black card to Felix before saying, "I have something to take care of. So, you need to go now."

As soon as he finished his words, Elliott pushed Felix out of his room because he knew his son would definitely reject the card.

'I hope he likes something in the auction.'

Elliott muttered to himself as he soon started working the dungeon preparation.
