Gacha Sovereign

Alex slowly released her and took another look at her expression.

Alicia tried her best to smile and acted like nothing happened. "What are we going to do now?"

"The plan is to visit Stina\'s World, but neither Stina nor Kyle have woken up, so I think we can skip this one." Alex thought for another plan and decided. "I will probably go to the Blackwade Clan first."

[In that case, bring me as well. We can also ask them to make weapons for you. A custom made one.]

Lin Xingzhi appeared out of the blue, but Alex considered it carefully and agreed with her plan.

"Alright. Let\'s go back to Eulja first."

"Sure." The trio nodded as they disappeared again.

Not long after, they had arrived at Eulja, entering the castle.

Lin Xingzhi met them in the corridor.

"Since you are going to go to the Blackwade Clan, I believe we shouldn\'t come along with you. After all, this discussion is pretty serious." Alicia suddenly stepped back. This wasn\'t a consideration for Lin Xingzhi and purely her concern.

"I shall call Zark to bring us there." Lin Xingzhi seemed to agree with her decision.

"Alright." Alex nodded. "You three can rest first."

"Before that, I want to know where are you going next?" Firia asked.

Alex pondered again since the plan had changed. "I have two destinations right now; it is either to go to "Encore" or get the half-part of Fire Authority."

"I think we should get the Fire Authority first. I don\'t know where the Encore is, and I don\'t plan on following you to that place. After all, this is a special place where both of you can meet." Lin Xingzhi suggested.

"I see…" Alex nodded. "I have the general locations for both worlds, so I can go there alone."

"Sure. I will return first after dealing with the Blackwade Clan."

"In that case, I will have a break first. We can go there tomorrow. Maybe you can send a message or something?" Alex tilted his head in confusion, not knowing how the Blackwade Clan worked.

"Sure. I will arrange everything." Lin Xingzhi then turned around and left.

Alex and the girls decided to return to their room.

The next day, Alex opened his door and found Lin Xingzhi waiting for him outside.

"Let\'s go then?" Alex asked.

"Yeah." She nodded and led Alex to meet Zark as they disappeared from Eulja.

Since Zark was a powerful God Rank Expert and had been using this for a few thousand years, Alex paid attention to him controlling the Space Element, hoping he could learn anything.

Although it wasn\'t like his expectation, he learned one thing or two, mostly about the movement of Space Energy.

Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the Blackwade Clan.

"We must have triggered their defense system." She smirked. "It is always fun to poke on their alarm system because they will start panicking."

"Milady, you should do it in moderation." Zark twitched his eyebrows. She always did it every time she came to the Blackwade Clan.

Alex tilted his head in confusion before deciding to look at the world from the outside. Unlike all the worlds he had seen, he couldn\'t find any water in a single glance. He tried to move around and found a huge pool of water that could be seen from the space.

"This planet is filled with ninety percent of lands. The Blackwade Clan uses this place as their headquarters because they can mine everything from this planet, considering it\'s filled with many minerals. At the same time, it also has enough resources in the surrounding planets.

"You might not be aware, but if you take another look at the planets surrounding Eulja, you will find they are green planets. That\'s where we usually plant our medicinal herbs. Well, you can say that our main source of income is selling medicinal herbs.

"The nature of the spirit itself is close to nature, so yeah, we can speed up their process. In fact, your Divine Herbs can be harvested within a few years. As for minerals and Spirit Crystals, the majority of them come from the trade."

Alex listened to her and nodded. He never paid attention to Eulja since he had so many things to do.

"On the other hand, the Blackwade Clan is a market empire around here. And their majority incomes from Forging and minerals. They do sell herbs or pills, but they can\'t be compared to those two.

"Anyway, their wealth is at the same level as us. Although most of them are invested in many other industries, they are still one of the richest influences."

Alex thought and asked, "Do we have alchemists?"

"Not much. We are selling materials only. And you can say that there are many alchemists that want to join our influence due to this, but they can\'t enter this haven." Lin Xingzhi shrugged. "We only want to use them to train our own alchemists instead of coming from outside."

"I see." Alex nodded before noticing someone coming.

A middle-aged man flew toward them and bowed his head. "We have been waiting for you. Please follow me."

The group nodded and entered the planet, arriving in front of a room.

"Patriarch, I have brought the visitor."

"Umu, you can go ahead and proceed with your task. I will talk to them."

The middle-aged man then disappeared as the three walked inside the room.

A red-haired middle-aged man stood near the window and watched the world outside. He looked like someone in his late thirties with a red vest and formal black and white suits. "How I wish you can stop doing that…"

"I have sent you the letter before though."

"Yeah, yeah. The letter huh… There are only freaking three words in your letter. How do you want me to know if you only said, "I am coming."? You tell me… I almost got a heart attack this time since you might bring huge trouble to us so suddenly."

"I won\'t do that."

"still, I need to be careful, alright?!" The middle-aged man let out a long sigh.

Lin Xingzhi was smiling this whole time, watching how this man looked outside without paying attention to Alex.

Alex tilted his head, confused about all this. Feeling his gaze, she decided to not play around and said, "I am coming for two things."

"What is it?"

"I want to get two weapons, a sword and a spear. I want them custom made, and I have brought the sample. If possible, I want the souls in the weapons to be transferred as well. Can you do that?" She asked.

"It is possible, albeit a bit costly. But since you are asking for a sword and a spear, you must want to give it to him. He can be considered a co-founder of this Blackwade Clan to the point that if he wants to take half of the assets of this clan, I will give it to him.

"And yet, he doesn\'t grab anything. Instead, protecting me and helping me during the hard time. Obviously, I will do it for you, free of charge." The middle-aged man nodded. "I will prepare the best thing you will ever have."

"How long will it take?"

"I need to consider the power of the soul as well."

"Both of them are Rank 8 weapons."

"I need to level them up to Rank 9 before fusing the soul… Do you want me to recast the weapons or simply make another one?"

"Which one is faster?"

"The latter."

"Alright. You can make a new weapon to host their souls. However, I would like to request another thing."

"Sure. Give me all the information, so I can build two weapons close to the ideals." The man nodded.

"He has a Pure Fire Element and Space Element. I want to embed the highest quality of these two gems to his weapons."

"I have the perfect stones for that, but I only have one for each of them. There is a place where I can buy it, but…"

"I know most of your money goes back to the investment, so Eulja will be paying for that. You can grab another pair." Lin Xingzhi immediately covered the payment as if it was nothing. They were talking about a few hundred million Spirit Crystals here. Fortunately, Alex wasn\'t aware, so he still hadn\'t made a single noise.

"Alright. I will send my right-hand man to purchase it. Calculating the time to upgrade the souls and other things, I will need three years to complete this weapon. As long as you take care of the two stones, you don\'t need to pay for anything else."

"Are you sure?"

"I said it earlier, he was my benefactor."

"Alright then. I can only thank you for this."

"Uhm." The man nodded. "Then, what is the second matter?"

"Do you know Musee World?" Lin Xingzhi asked. This was the name of the upper world Alex lived in for years.

"I know. If I am not wrong, I have a branch in that world as well. Does Sire go to that place?" The man furrowed his eyebrows, subconsciously releasing his killing intent. "Do you want me to eliminate the clan there?"

"You can\'t go any more wrong than that. Well, it\'s true that there was a pleasant memory about that place, but they helped him in the end… Unconditionally on top of that. Hence, my husband promised them to let their most talented person train in this place." Lin Xingzhi explained the promise Alex made with Song Jiaoren.

"I understand. Since they help Sire, I will help them as well. There is a new batch of disciples next year, so I am going to send someone soon to grab that person. Who is this person?"

"He is the son of the current patriarch there, and he goes by the name Song Jiaoren. He is a promising young man, and I think he has the potential to reach Rank 4 God if not Rank 3 God."

"Ho?! To think there is someone who can make you view him in high regard."

"I am just saying if he is properly trained. In other words, your clan will need to take him seriously. It is a sort of gamble though."

"Training him is possible, but I can\'t really justify the reason. In any case, he needs to go through the usual thing in my clan, and we will see after that."

"Sure. I will leave it in your hand." Lin Xingzhi nodded as she finally finished talking about the two matters. "And now, I want to talk about the payment."

"I said it earlier! I don\'t need any payment as long as you cover the cost of the two stones."

"Are you sure?"

"I am sure!"

"Even though I have brought the payment already…"

"What do you mean?"

"Song Tao… How about you turn around and see who is behind you?!"

*Thump!*

His heart skipped a beat, getting a bad premonition. He had been talking this rude to the guest because he was angry with Lin Xingzhi\'s playful character. And this was something normal, considering how often she visited this place. In fact, she also asked him to help with the investigation of Alex\'s reincarnation before. So, yeah. They had become pretty close.

However, the moment she said there is a special guest, he instantly realized the situation. He turned around and found a golden-haired man sitting there without saying anything this whole time.

"Look, I have said that you won\'t regret it. I bring my husband here because he needs your help. Since you were acting like that, I decided to make you pay by completing the discussion by myself, not him." Lin Xingzhi laughed. "I bring my husband with me."

Song Tao rushed and fell on his knees as he turned pale. "Sire! I am sorry for my rude actions!"
