Yan Yan was immensely gratified of Lander. She always hoped of having her own beast and it actually happened, even stronger than that of Lander's beast, "Thank you Inuy-a for this gift!"
"Hmmm, you have to acquire stronger beast for this one to continue evolving," The Necromancer spoke.
"Will it still evolve if the evolution stopped?" Lander asked.
"Yes, but the chances are slim. Robby, go find this beast a Rank B cores to eat for it to finish its evolution." The Necromancer ordered.
"Thank you Elder!" Yan Yan was pleased and bowed her head towards him. Grey, Stark and Adriel also followed Robby, Yan Yan and her beast.
"I assume you're going to give me information old man?" Lander asked still watching the departing figures of Yan Yan and the others.
"What is that DNA power you talked about?" The Necromancer asked Lander.
Lander smiled and lied, "Even if I explain it to you old man, you won't understand anything. But if time comes, I will show it to you personally."
The Necromancer nodded and told Lander a short story. The woman was Elsa, her lover. She was the most beautiful woman he has ever saw and instantly fell in love with her the first time he saw her. He was a talented magician while Elsa was the daughter of a King in the Wyvern Fire Kingdom and because of his talent, the King took him as a teacher for Elsa. Elsa wasn't interested in learning magic and was very stubborn that she would always go tantrum.
The Necromancer, even being pushed out by Elsa a lot of times, he still patiently tutored her and implanted to her mind the importance of magic. Years passed when Elsa grew to a fine young lady and many suitors visited her everyday but she always pushed them out. The King then told Elsa and the Necromancer to enroll at the Wyvern Academy in which they did. The Necromancer showed his shocking talent and was still unsatisfied that he still would research ways to create stronger magic. This made him garner the title, 'Magic Maniac.'
Elsa also showed her talent that she was crowned amongst the Peerless Beauties as the 'Princess Caster.' The two of them would always stay together that Elsa developed a feeling towards the Necromancer.
One night, Elsa together with the other Peerless Beauties accepted a mission and they were joined by three men. She never told the Necromancer but she didn't anticipate that he already knew about it. To distract him, Elsa gave her body to him. After they had their passionate rounds, when the Necromancer was sleeping, Elsa silently walked out of the room and joined her friends as they moved out of their mission.
Morning came when the King of Fire Wyvern Kingdom gave an important mission to the Necromancer, that was to annihilate the Dark Forces trying to invade their Kingdom. The King also learnt about Elsa's mission but he knew that she would be safe. He believed in his daughter.
Ten months passed when a piece of news came to the King and the Necromancer, Elsa was nearing death. She gave birth to a healthy girl but she and her friends never anticipated an attack by a Rank A beast. Elsa protected them, facing the enemy alone as she let her friends escape. When they were already far away, she managed to escape but sustained a very deep wound that threatened her life.
The King went on a rampage, ordering all his men to kill the Rank A beast. The Necromancer instantly used a teleportation device he acquired and teleported next to Elsa and her friends. Arriving, she was only a breath away but the Necromancer sealed her and disappeared that made Elsa's friends stunned never be seen again as the Legend of The Princess Caster and Magic Maniac was also forgotten.
"So you became a Necromancer to find a way for her to live again?" Lander asked that made the Necromancer nod. "When did this happen old man?"
"About twenty years or thirty years I think. I somehow forgotten about time as I only have her in my mind all this time," The Necromancer answered sighing with pained emotions.
It was this time that they heard a loud roar that echoed through the sky. Not long after Yan Yan and the others arrived, "Congratulations Yan Yan!"
"Thank you inuy-a and also to Elder for helping my beast!" Yan Yan bowed down earnestly as she can't hide her emotions.
"You guys go ahead and pack our things," Lander ordered to Yan Yan and the others. He then turn around the Necromancer, "By the way, who told you that your child was dead?"
"The King sent me a message saying that she died," The Necromancer replied staring up the dark sky.
Lander patted the Necromancer's shoulder, "Next time I visit you old man, it would be your name that I will shout. Let's have a good drink after that."
"Not because they told you she's dead doesn't mean she really was. Believe and embed that on your heart!" Lander preached giving a vibe of a good teacher.
Lander then departed leaving the old man behind. The Necromancer turned towards the departing figure of Lander as he muttered, "Is this fate? or faith? If this fate then I will trust you young man. And if this is faith, then I have that all these years believing that my woman will come back to life, so I should also believe that my daughter is still alive."
After they packed their things, Lander and the others left heading towards north, to the Amphiptere Region.
Acquiring the winged tiger as her beast, Yan Yan named it Tigress as she rode on her back. Due to Tigress ranking, they weren't impeded on their journey so they arrived at the border of Amphiptere Region in a week. They then traveled continuously heading towards Amphiptere Capital.
After two more weeks, they arrived at the Capital and felt the presence of his slave, Lute not far away from them.
"An outcast having a Rank C beast?"
"Look, that outcast young girl riding a Rank B beast!"
"Impossible! How could an outcast have their own beast with higher Ranking?"
Waiting for a while, Lute emerged from the entrance of the Capital and joined them. He leaded the way as they entered without being hindered by the guards.
They moved forward towards the restaurant Lute bought, "The restaurant was already done. I only await for any other adjustment from Master. As for the hotel, I bought two, one on the Silent Village and the other on the Keita Territory owned by the Keita Family. The auction house was built besides the Amphiptere Academy, the Crowd Village."
"Why two hotels?" Lander asked as he only wanted one.
Lute scratched the back of his head then reported, "Well master, the Silent Village was always the traveler's resting area as for the other one, the Keita collects the highest number of missions so a lot of people are going there and...."
"Good!" Lander interrupted as he already understood, "But how about the intelligence agency?"
"The Intelligence Agency was beside the restaurant. Adofo thought it well, acquiring lots of informations would be a problem as people with bad reputations would cause problem so we needed protection from the Capital and that would give us a better advantage as we could also hire people who have great strength without problems." Lander explained.
"So did it already operate?" Lander asked the most important question.
"It has but Adofo wasn't experienced in this kind of operation but he has obtained valuable informations." Lute explained.
"Then tell Adofo to come see me when he's back," Lander said as they arrived at the restaurant, "Adriel, this place is going to be yours later so make the final adjustments with accordance to your preference."
"Master, forgive me for spending your money for acquiring 3 slaves of mine. Those slaves were the ones whose going to operate the hotels and the auction house," Lute also informed him bowing his head.
"Those money aren't mine but ours. So, how much money do we have left?" Lander asked.
"We only have 8 silvers left," Lute answered.
"How much money did you spend on those slaves of yours?" Lander asked again.
"Each of my slave costed 20 gold coins. So I spent 60 gold coins over all," Lute answered still bowing his head.
"Then tell people about the auction next week and the specifics of it. Announce that there will be 5 Energy Soul Stone and 15 Golden Metamorphosis Plant." Lander ordered.
