Proxy Reaper, three apprentice Death God positions.
The first apprentice Death God position must go to his own Dragon Whelp. With the status of an apprentice Death God, which is akin to being half a person from hell, coupled with his protection as a Black Dragon, when the Young Dragon comes of age, it would be considered a Dragon with [influence].
As for the remaining two apprentice Death God positions, well... he was actually considering whether he could recruit two outstanding Divine Position personnel from the temple to become apprentice Death Gods.
Holy Knight Steven from the Valkyrie Temple... could be a potential [apprentice Death God].
After some evaluation, and if suitable, he would see if there was an opportunity to sign an apprentice Death God Contract with him.
Undermining the Valkyrie's authority... If the Valkyrie knew, would She be so angry that She sends Sophia to beat him up?
