When Lux first arrived in Elysium, there was one creature that was like an insurmountable mountain for him—that was none other than Cadmus.


    When he first met the Draconic Kobold, thetter was a Rank 4 Alpha Monster, which was something that he had no hope of defeating at that time.


    However, that was all in the past. After checking Cadmus'' Rank, the Half-Elf found out that the Draconic Kobold was now a Rank 5 Alpha Monster. He was still stronger than Lux, but that was only if they fought one on one.


    Now that he had his Undead Legion, and his first Knight of the Covenant, Bedivere, with him, he was confident that he could defeat Cadmus if the two of them were to fight. Fortunately, the two had gotten over their dispute with each other, and had even be friends after visiting Keoza''s dungeon.


    "It has been a while, Cadmus," Lux smiled as he fist bumped the Draconic Kobold, who mutually returned the gesture.


    "Indeed," Cadmus replied. "And you have grown a lot stronger since west saw each other."


    "Hahaha. A lot of things happened. Almost died a couple of times as well."


    "Sounds fun. Sid and I also suffered a few close calls, especially on ourst expedition."


    In order to reach the rank of a Ranker, Sid went with Cadmus on his exploration beyond the boundaries of the territories under the protection of the Stronghold of Norria.


    The Stronghold was located on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Gweliven, and beyond it was a ce they called the Savage Lands.


    It was apletely uncharted territory, and because of the truce between the Kobolds and the Dwarves, Cadmus was able to undertake Quest Missions as a registered Adventurer in the Adventurer''s Guild.


    Since everything around the territory of Norria was no longer enough to challenge him, Cadmus decided to talk to Thoram, the Commander of the Stronghold of Norria, and asked the Dwarf tomission him to explore the Savage Lands.


    Thoram thought that this was a good idea, and with the backing of the Royal Family, he formally assigned Cadmus as the Exploration Captain in charge of mapping out the Savage Lands.


    Naturally, Sid apanied him, and together, they went on an adventure, alongside a dozen Rank 3 Kobolds, to explore the unknown.


    "You came at a good time," Lux smirked. "How about you join my Guild?"


    "Joining a Guild…" Cadmus rubbed his chin. "I never considered joining a Guild before."


    "Come on. It will be fun. I''ll even make you one of my Officers, how about it?"


    "Mmm… I''ll think about it."


    Lux smirked. "Okay, you can think about it while holding this Member Token. Just help me meet the minimum requirement to create my guild first, okay?"


    Cadmus snorted as he epted the red token that was handed to him. "You and your schemes. Fine, I''ll help you out with this once."


    The token merged with Cadmus'' palm, which was a sign that he had epted to be one of Lux''s Guild Members.


    The Half-Elf then gave Sid another token.


    As one of his strongest subordinates, it was only normal for Sid to be part of his guild. As for Scarlet, it would be best if she stayed with Twilight Rain. That way, she could leech off of their resources, as well as supply him with valuable intel straight from the ho''s nest.


    "Sir Lux, me, too!" Laura raised her hands to ask for a token.


    "I want one as well, Sir Lux," Livia said.


    Sid gave his Master a nod of affirmation, which meant that he didn''t find anything wrong with his twin sisters joining Lux''s guild.


    "Okay," Lux relented and handed two red tokens to the two girls. "The two of you will assist Grandma Annie."


    ""Yes!"" the two girls happily showed Sid their red tokens, and thetter patted their heads with affection.


    "Here is a Token for you, Keane," Lux said. "Thank you for being willing to join my Guild."


    Keane shrugged as he replied, "I figured that since I am free, I might as well help you out."


    "Oh! Me, too!" Cai also approached Lux. "Hand the token over."


    Lux eyed the Boar with a critical gaze. "Aren''t you already in the Rowan Tribe Guild? Your Grandpa might get angry if you suddenly leave without asking for permission."


    "It''s fine!" Cai replied. "I''m just going to Guild Hop for a bit. Consider it as my way of helping you as well."


    "... Are you sure we won''t get in trouble with your grandpater?"


    "No worries. My Grandpa spoils me, so it''s fine! Um. Let me leave my guild first."


    Cai opened its Soul Book and went to its Guild Page. It then stated its reason for leaving the Guild, and half a minuteter, the Boar sessfully left its guild, leaving Lux, as well as Keane, speechless.


    —------


    Rowan Tribe in Elysium…


    While Xander was busy managing the affairs of the guild, several rows of text appeared in front of him.


    "Hi Xander! I am leaving the Guild for a while! Rx, I''ll be backter. I''ll just Hop to My Daddy''s Guild for a while thene back at ater time.


    P.S - Don''t tell my Grandpa! I''ll be back soon!"


    A momentter, after reading the reason why Cai left the guild, he pinched the bridge of his nose, pondering how he would exin it to their Great Chieftain after returning to Sis.


    "I guess I''ll tell everyone to keep mum about this for a few days," Xander thought as he scratched his head in helplessness. "High Priestess, you''re making things difficult for me."


    —------


    Back in Leaf VIge…


    "Okay. I left my Guild!" Cai stated. "Give me the token, My Daddy."


    Lux sighed before handing the Token to the Boar, which melded with its hoof, proving that Cai had epted bing one of the Half-Elf''s Guild Member Candidates.


    With eight Member Tokens disposed of, Lux only had twelve more to hand out before he could make his guild.


    "Well, I guess I''ll look for other members now," Lux muttered, which was heard by the Vige Head who was patiently waiting to be given a token as well.


    However, it seemed that the Half-Elf was oblivious of Cedwyn''s thoughts. Just as Lux was about to leave the house, Cedwyn cleared his throat, which caught everyone''s attention.


    "Lux, my Boy, aren''t you forgetting something important?" Cedwyn asked.


    "Have I?" Lux blinked. "What did I forget?"


    Grandma Annie and Randolph, who could tell what Cedwyn wanted, only smirked after seeing Lux''s clueless expression.


    Clearly, the Head of Leaf Vige wanted to join his guild because Grandma Annie, and Randolph had already agreed to join him. Since the three of them had been good friends when they were still Adventurers, he didn''t want to be left behind.


    "Lux, why don''t you give Cedwyn one of those tokens," Randolph said in a teasing manner. "It seems the old coot wants to join, so might as well let him join. He can handle the members who will jointer on."


    "That''s right," Grandma Anniemented. "Cedwyn is good with administrative duties. Make him one of your Vice Guild Masters, so he can actively recruit here in Leaf Vige."


    After hearing Grandma Annie''s words, Lux''s body trembled as if he was hit by a lightning bolt.


    Making Cedwyn a Vice Guild Master was a brilliant idea!


    If he really made the Vige Head one of his Guild Members, wouldn''t that mean that he would get an endless supply of new recruits from Leaf Vige?


    It was Capitalism at its finest!


    With such a wonderful arrangement presented to him, Lux didn''t even bat an eye and handed Cedwyn a Token of Membership, which would make Leaf Vige the Centerpoint of the Kingdom of Gweliven several years in the future.
