Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

After an hour, Lux left the conference room, while the others remained.

The Captain of the Riders of Norria and the Elders of Leaf Village were about to discuss something on a national level, so the Half-Elf politely took his leave. He didn't want to meddle in those affairs.

What he cared about were the weapons and the mount that were promised to him by both Boreas and Nevreal.

'Fortunately I haven't chosen anything from my mission rewards yet,' Lux thought as he praised himself for not being in a hurry to choose rewards from the Abomination Mission that he had cleared recently.

Now that he had an Alpha Monster Egg, which could spawn a monster that was completely random, an Honorary Title, and a mount for Diablo, he no longer needed to choose those things from the four choices that were available to him.

'Now, I just have to choose between the Golden Token of Gweliven, and the four Teleport Scrolls that could take me anywhere I have visited previously,' Lux mused. 'I guess, I'll just wait for a good opportunity to use either of those two rewards in the future.'

As soon as Lux stepped onto the street, he saw Colette and the others waiting for him on the opposite side.

"Big Brother!" Colette waved her hand enthusiastically the moment she saw Lux. In truth, she and the others had been worried because they thought that the Half-Elf was in trouble.

After seeing him unharmed, and his expression which implied that he seemed to be in a good mood, their worries disappeared completely.

"You guys waited for me?" Lux asked. Deep inside he was quite touched. He had really gotten close to the Dwarf children, which had been his first party members in the world of Elysium.

"It's not that we care about you. We just came here to accompany Colette," Matthew replied in a cranky manner. "Don't get the wrong idea, okay?"

Lux smirked as he looked at the future hen-pecked-boyfriend, who was doing his best to look irritated. The Half-Elf then patted Colette's head as he gave her some good news.

"I'll be traveling to the Stronghold of Norria ten days from now," Lux said. "Why don't you guys come with me? They might have some interesting things over there that we can't find in the Beginner Zones."

Colette blinked once then twice before latching onto Lux's arm and looking up at him with a serious expression on her face.

"You're not lying right, Big Brother?" Colette asked. "Can we really go with you?"

Lux nodded. "Of course. I asked Captain Boreas earlier if I could bring you guys, and he said that he didn't mind as long as we don't cause trouble when we are there."

"We won't cause trouble!" Colette replied happily. "Hehehe, even my sister wasn't able to go to the Stronghold of Norria. I bet she will be surprised when I tell her about this."

"Eh? Your sister hasn't been there? How come?"

"Big Brother, the Stronghold of Norria is off limits to everyone. Only high-ranking nobles and those with high-status are allowed to enter the fortress."

Lux nodded his head in understanding as he gave Colette a knowing smile. He knew that the adorable, little, blonde Dwarf adored her older sister like an idol that she hoped to become like her sister someday.

Colette always boasted that her sister was a genius, very beautiful, and had many suitors. She also constantly reminded Lux that she would be more than happy to play matchmaker, and pair him up with her sister in marriage.

The Half-Elf just laughed it off because he thought that Colette was just being childish and teasing him. Although he had to admit that he was quite curious to meet the little girl's sister, he wasn't in a hurry to do so.

"Well then, do you guys have any plans for the time being?" Lux asked.

Colette gave Lux a sweet smile as she told him that she planned to return home for a few days in order to have the monster egg that she had received from their battle hatched in their family's residence. Although she could hatch it in Leaf Village, Colette wanted her sister to be there to see the hatching process with her.

Helen also planned to return home to ask her parents for advice on what to do with the Carbuncle Fur that she got from the expedition.

As for the three boys, they planned to go back to Solais in order to sell the Carbuncle's Jewel. They would then split the coins among the three of them and get better gear from their parents, in preparation for their graduation from Leaf Village.

Everyone parted ways and promised to meet again after ten days in Elysium. Lux's main purpose in going back was to also hatch the egg that he caught. However, the one that would be hatching it wasn't him, but someone who he considered to be blessed with Lady Luck.

Since the monster that would come out of the egg was completely random, he decided to let someone lucky do the honors, so he would get the best possible results.

"Welcome back, Lux," Vera said with a smile on her face as she arrived at the training room. "Have you eaten? I was just about to eat dinner. Why don't you join me?"

"I'm back, Grandma," Lux replied as he gave Vera a loving hug. "What's for dinner?"

"I didn't know you were coming, so I just made rice porridge. Do you want something specific to eat? Just tell me. I will prepare it for you."

"Porridge is fine. Actually, I ate a bit before coming back home, so I'm not that hungry."

Vera smiled as she led Lux to the dining table. The two of them ate, and after that, Vera asked her grandson about his adventures in Elysium.

The Half-Elf didn't hide anything from his grandma and told her everything. He told her about the member of the secret organization that he fought, the Abomination Monster that had threatened the safety of Leaf Village, the rewards he had received, and rewards that he was about to receive.

Vera listened with a calm expression on her face, but deep inside, she was greatly shocked about the experiences that her grandson had faced while he was away from home.

"That is very generous of you to give the monster drops to your friends," Vera said. "But, make sure to also think of your own benefits in the future, okay?"

"Um, about that Grandma, I need to tell you something," Lux replied.

He then explained that he had obtained a reward after the Mutated Carbuncle was slain, which led him to take a pass on the distribution items after the Alpha Monster was killed.

"Strange," Vera thought. "I've never heard of this phenomenon before…"

Vera thought long and hard, but she didn't know anyone that could receive items directly into their Soul Book after killing an Alpha Monster.

"Lux, keep this a secret for the time being," Vera stated. "This is a good thing, but since I haven't heard of this incident happening in the past, those who also have the same ability must have made sure to keep it to themselves. I mean, when you think about it, isn't this a fantastic ability? You don't have to fight for Monster drops because you get them directly.

"If anyone discovers this, they will be very jealous. During dungeon expeditions, and fighting against Field Monsters, parties often distribute the monster drops due to merit. This allows only a select few to benefit from the hunt, but you don't have this problem."

Vera smiled because her grandson had this cheat-like ability. Back then, she was worried that Lux would be too nice, and people would take advantage of him. Now that the Half-Elf had this ability, she wouldn't worry about Lux not getting enough resources, or being treated harshly in Elysium.

'With this, Lux will definitely not lose out when forming teams with other people,' Vera thought. 'Although I feel sorry for his party members, this is still a good thing for my grandson.'

Lux, who had just finished drinking his tea, looked at his grandma with a hopeful expression.

"Grandma, I need a favor," Lux said.

"As long as it is within my ability, I will do it," Vera replied. As long as it was for her grandson, she would do her best to make it happen.

"Grandma, I want to see Iris," Lux stated. "I need her goodluck."
