After retrieving the corpse of the Golden Dragon, Lux, Cai, and Keane all returned to their Guild Headquarters using teleportation magic.
Since their Guild Headquarters had finished construction, the members of Heaven's Gate could freely teleport to it once a day.
There were, of course, other methods. As long as they entered any kind of teleportation gate, they could teleport to their Guild Headquarters as often as they wished.
"Since this is a special occasion, I personally gave Boreas and his men a day off, so they could also come here to celebrate the construction of our Guild Headquarters," Thoram said with a smile. "They will be here in a while. I asked them to get some good booze and food from the Stronghold."
"Aron is doing the same," Cedwyn said. "All the Guards that are part of the Guild will be bringing foods and drinks here as well."
"Hahaha! Good. It's been a while since I had a good drink. I usually have too much work."
"Indeed. Having a day off once or twice a month is good for our health."
The Commander of the Stronghold of Norria as well as the Village Head of Leaf Village laughed together as they temporarily escaped from their duties for a day.
"We're here!" Laura shouted as she approached, carrying a basket of sandwiches.
Livia, her twin, was also carrying a similar basket as she followed behind her sister.
"Be careful, both of you," Sid said with a helpless smile as he looked at his two little sisters fondly.
He returned to Leaf Village temporarily to look after his sisters since Cadmus and the Kobolds had gone to help Lux in Karshvar Draconis.
Bedivere, Heidi, and her mother, Lilia, also arrived because they were also registered as members of Heaven's Gate.
Two hours later, all of the members of Heaven's Gate had appeared in the Guild Headquarters to take part in the grand celebration of the construction of their Guild Headquarters.
"Everyone, thank you for coming on such short notice," Lux said. "Constructing our Guild Headquarters is merely the beginning of our journey. In time, we will rise and make a name for ourselves, placing our mark in the history books! Everyone, I ask you to do your utmost to increase your abilities in order to help our guild grow."
Lux then raised the mug of fruit juice in his hands before breaking into a smile.
"For the Guild!"
"""For the Guild!"""
Cethus, who was also holding a mug of mead in his hands, looked at the rowdy bunch with disdain.
'Placing your mark in the history books?' Cethus laughed internally. 'What a delusional bunch.'
The black-scaled Dragon Born didn't think much of Lux. In his eyes, a castle made of marble wasn't that impressive.
The palace of the Dragon King was more impressive, so even though he was a little surprised that Lux decided to build a castle in the region that was given to him, he still looked down on him and his guild. For him, they were nothing but people from the lower realm.
Lux and his guild members, who were not aware of the Dragon Born's disdain for them, all drank happily.
However, after only taking a few sips, all of them froze as they heard the sound of a notification inside their heads.
A moment later, several rows of text appeared in front of them, making all the members of Heaven's Gate gasp in shock.

—--------
Lux blinked once then twice as he read the information in front of him.
He didn't expect anything like this to happen. However, the unexpected reward was something that put a smile on his face.
Without further delay, the Half-Elf added the free stats points to his Soul Book, allowing him to step a little closer to the Initiate Rank.

To reach the Initiate Rank, one had to have a combined stat points of 5,000.
Right now, Lux's combined stats had surpassed 3,000, inching closer to the goal he wanted to reach.
According to Thoram, once someone stepped into the Initiate Rank, they would be given the opportunity to upgrade their Profession to its next advanced grade.
Currently, Lux was a Necromancer. Once he upgraded his Job Profession, he would be able to gain more skills, stats, and abilities that would make him stronger.
His Thunder Warg King, Jed, had also been upgraded to a Rank 4 Monster, alongside the other wargs that were currently serving Lux.
The Half-Elf also checked the stats of his Skeleton Army, as well as his Named Creatures, and found out that all of them had received the additional stat points as well.
The most surprising part was Eiko's personal page in Lux's Soul Book. The baby Slime's rank didn't change, even though she had received a great boost in status points.

Aside from the great boost that his baby Slime, as well as his Named Creatures received, Lux was also extremely happy that his Skeleton Gangbangers, Skeleton Grand Archers, Skeleton Mages, and Rock Golems had now become Rank 4 Monsters, making them quite formidable.
Naturally, it was not only Lux who received this grand upgrade. All of the members of Heaven's Gate received it as well, making the old Dwarves Cedwyn, Randolph, and Grandma Annie feel like they had been given a new lease on life.
