Way of the Knights

Chapter 763

"…so how do we plan on doing this?"

"It depends on you." Raven replied while shrugging, "I mean, you guys will be leaving your legacies behind so you should take care of it. Those who manage to inherit your legacies will become your disciples anyway, it'll be up to you on how you will raise them."

The six of them gathered in their meeting place to discuss about the matters of leaving their legacies behind. This is a way for them to help their home, raising disciples in order to ensure the safety of their home.

Sufficed to say, most of them are unexperienced when it comes to raising a disciple except Raven and maybe Luna, so this is a dilemma that they have to solve on their own.

"Well, I think I'll leave my legacy in the Dark Forest." Anne stated after a moment of silence while looking at the direction of the said forest. 

The rest were intrigued by her decision but knowing Anne, it's to be expected. 

The Dark Forest is a new addition to their home world. It's located southeast, way beyond the walls that Raven created for the Empire. 

He forest was at least fifteen kilometers in diameter. It is a place filled with a poisonous dark fog, swamps and venomous demonic beasts. That being said though, the Dark Forest is teeming with natural resources. Alchemical ingredients, rare ores, beast cores and etc. Additionally, it is a holy ground for those who cultivated Poison Laws. 

Anne is the heir to her sect and has the moniker of the Emerald Fairy though her sect disciples calls her the 'Forest Queen' due to her mastery over the Nature Laws. Anne leaving her legacy on the Dark Forest makes perfect sense for her. After all, the legacy of an Empyrean is something that isn't easy to inherit. 

"I'll leave mine on the Sun I guess." Ellen muttered as she stared at the skies. 

What she said sounded crazy. An Empyrean Legacy on the sun? Who the hell will be able to get that? But see, she's surrounded by Empyreans so none of them find it weird, besides it's not like she will be asking her legacy disciple to go to the sun anyways. There are tons of ways this can work, it's up to her on how she's going to do it. 

"Ooh! I think I'll leave mine on the Nether Pond!" Paul exclaimed as she looked at the far north.

The Nether Pond is a vista located at the extreme pole, precisely at the edge of the world. The  ambient temperature here can easily freeze someone to death and that's not even the lowest it can go. Paul thought that if someone wants to become his legacy disciple, they need to reach the bottom of the Nether Pond to get it. 

"I'll leave mine on the Thunder Valley." Mark commented.

The Thunder Valley is located Northwest, just before the world's edge. It's a place where an everlasting storm is present and is filled with floating orbs of thunder and lightning, this place is an excellent place for Lighting and Thunder practitioners as well as Body Refiners. Such a place is a no–brainer for Mark. 

"I already left mine at the Imperial Palace Grounds." Luna added, "That location will be open during the Imperial Tournament that will occur every five years."

The Imperial Palace Grounds is a private area reserved for only the imperial family. It's a place which mean to be the burial place for the Imperial Family, a place where they can be remembered. Luna still kept that tradition so she only added on to it.

She left her legacy there and told her brother to make a Imperial Tournament every five years, those who manages to reach the top 10 will be allowed to enter the Legacy Space. 

"How about you Raven? Where are you planning on leaving your Legacy?" Paul asked. 

"Well…" Raven smirked and said: "The correct question is, when will my Legacy Disciple appear?"

Seeing the confused faces of his wife and friends, Raven explained: "I already left the legacy behind. It's sentient and will automatically attach itself to the person that has the qualities I'm looking for. I'm only waiting for them to appear." 

"Whoa! That's sick." Paul exclaimed. 

"I know right?" Raven smugly huffed, "Well, since that's out of the way, there's only one thing we should discuss before we end this meeting. Who's going to go first for the Law Discussion?" 

"Ah, that." Mark just remembered, "I forgot that it's almost a year has already passed since our return." 

"Right, I almost forgot about that." Ellen hummed, "I'll go first if that's okay. Then maybe Paul after me, Mark, Anne, Luna and then you, Raven. I think that's a good order." 

"Anyone, disagree?" Raven looked at the rest and saw them shaking their heads. "Well that's it then. It'll be Ellen first, Paul, Mark, Anne, Luna and me. Each session will last for seven to fourteen days. Don't hold back alright?" 

"Yes." The rest replied in unison. 

"Alright, that concludes our meeting!" Raven tapped the desk and everyone relaxed. "So, where do you guys plan on going next?"

"Setting up the legacies?" Ellen suggested, "I mean, we might as well get into it as soon as we could."

"Do you have everything ready with you?" Raven asked. 

"I do." Ellen nodded, she then turned to the others and asked: "How about you guys?" 

"I have everything I need." 

"Me too."

"Same goes for me." 

"Alright, that settles it then. Let's get to work people." Ellen said as they dispersed into streaks of light, leaving Luna and Raven alone. 

"…at least they're more eager about this." Luna chuckled as she rested her head on Raven's shoulder. 

"Nah, I don't think so." Raven chuckled, "I think they just want to enjoy their vacation as much as they could."

"You know what? I can see that." 

The two of them laughed and disappeared from their meeting place. They reappeared at their home at the sky. Raven activated the concealment formation and they disappeared from all manner of detection. 

Walking inside their home, they headed to the balcony and enjoy the fresh and open air as well as the marvelous view of the world below them while enjoying tea and snacks. 

Since both of them were already done with leaving their legacies behind, they can laze around again. 

In the middle of their peace, Raven suddenly felt a jolt on his body which was noticed by Luna. Her expression morphed into worry but her husband seems to be doing fine. A couple of seconds later, Raven recovered and smiled at this wife. 

"I'm fine. I just received an important news about Kyle." 

"Your first disciple? What happened to him?" Luna asked. 

Raven sighed and massaged his temples, "Apparently, he's undergoing a trial to become a Divine Guard." 

"What?" Luna was flabbergasted, "A Divine Guard? Is he mad?" 

"It's not his fault though, he was forced to do it." Raven sighed, feeling a headache coming. 

This news was brought to him by the Avatar he left at the Divine Realm. He employed the help of the Oriental Dragon Group to search for Kyle and they didn't disappoint. 

Kyle, Raven's first disciple, had a challenging life after ascending. He got injured by the spatial storm and received help from a poor family. 

In order to repay them from saving his life, he freed them from their servitude by slaying a local tyrant. Unfortunately, he painted a mark on himself by doing that. Apparently, the tyrant he slain was a part of a large syndicate group, wanted by the Dawn Council. 

He was forced to flee to keep his benefactors safe. When they managed to corner him, a Divine Guard stepped in and took him. The said Divine Guard is now forcing him to train under the council to inherit the position. 

Divine Guard is just a fantasy term for a Death Soldier – these people are raised by the Dawn Council to send at the Outer Worlds to hunt Outsiders. Whether they live or die is up to their luck, the Dawn Council won't interfere nor protect them from harm. They exist for the sole purpose of being  deterrent. action

This is simply insulting, especially for Raven who is aware of the ugliness behind the Dawn Council's existence. Kyle was being robbed of his freedom and he'll be damned if he didn't interfere right now. 

"…thankfully it isn't too late." Raven sighed after re-telling the story to his wife, "I already sent orders for his release. The Dawn Council should let him go but just to make sure, is there anyway you can help him?" 

"Of course." Luna confidently said, "I already sent my men to take care of him. Do you want him back here?" 

"That would be nice." Raven nodded, "He needs a break, he'd been on the run for years now and he's at his breaking point. I'll take care of his benefactors, just get him back here so that he can rest for a bit. Maybe he won't need to go back there anymore once he returned here." 

"Alright, let's get him back here."
