Chapter 1028: Chapter 504: Within the Secret Realm

Guild Calendar October 14th, the Weapon God crosses a lightning dust storm and docks at a floating island. There is already a temporary sky port, guild registration office, and an Adventurer settlement, as not far away lies the large island suspended in midair, with majestic peaks forming canyon gaps where Flying Airships shuttle back and forth.

"This space has always been hidden within the lightning sandstorm of the Salem Sky Realm, truly unimaginable," Nebis murmured.

With the uniqueness of Nebis, every time a new Desperate Secret Realm is discovered, the situation is different. Before coming here, Li Ang had already looked at the intelligence prepared by Farlonio, knowing that the danger level of this island was insufficient to be called a Desperate Secret Realm, but it was vast and deep enough to be termed a Secret Realm.

The homeland of the extinct Race "Dwarves" is a secret realm fittingly so.

The Order Flame Corps emblem on the Weapon God, along with the ship itself, is recognizable to many, so when it halted, it drew quite a bit of attention.

Elaphia’s style of action certainly wouldn’t care about others’ gazes; she stepped on a Hovering Flying Blade and descended from the ship first.

The temporary port registrant is a guild member; those in the realm mostly come from the guild’s center. Seeing the arrival of the Flame Corps Captain, they were deferent, handling things smoothly beyond compare.

"See, if you’d followed me earlier, there would’ve been no need to handle annoying procedures like regular Sky Knights," Blondie Douding said, brushing her golden tassel-like hair.

Li Ang softly smiled and shook his head, "You’re still talking about this now."

The young girl huffed and flew forward.

On the way to the guild office, material trade stands, equipment shops, and combat boat repair shops have already been established, attracting Sky Knights of varying strength.

Those passing by cast different kinds of glances. Elaphia’s reputation is vast, needless to say, and among those present, there are many Li Ang is familiar with. Although they have never cooperated, they have crossed paths in adventures, aware of such a person.

This scene illustrates that the Dwarven homeland Golden Realm is now a Secret Realm capable of steadily producing profit, attracting so many to undertake adventures here.

Amid the conversations, there is no shortage of talks about the recent war in the Ignis Sky Realm. As commander, Elaphia’s prestige has increased within the guild, while here, her fame and awe have risen.

Basking in such glances is what she’s most accustomed to; the douding’s chin tilted even higher.

"...That witch, has she completely pledged herself under that lady’s dress?" someone suddenly remarked amidst the crowd.

With the prowess of those present, they heard this comment loud and clear. Farlonio revealed a teasing expression, Li Ang lightly bit his teeth, only to see Elaphia’s face smile brightly.

However, compared to her, Diao was quite unaccustomed to such attention; she’d never seen so many gathered, half her body hide behind Li Ang, though her unique attire inevitably drew attention.

As for Liluliss, she looked intrigued; her words revealed that she’d always lived at the edge outside the ordinary world of Nebis. Even those seasoned Adventurers shared the same sentiment. Though she seemed able to access more profound matters, a lack of surface experience rather engendered a sense of floating.

Li Ang felt the black-haired Dragon God Witch enjoyed this sentiment. Images surfaced before him of her and Zoe standing hand in hand, laughing due to their adventurous experiences.

Upon arriving at the guild office, the development of the Golden Kingdom and exploration situation became clear immediately.

The first half was apparent — within the office hall, everywhere was piled high with creations made of precious metals centered on gold; mounds of Gold Coins, jewel chains filling the shelves, bracelets and jeweled crowns cluttering into a heap. This was merely the harvest that had visibly lost spirituality and became ordinary.

On the other side, the guild appraiser faced a mountain of paperwork, the way she furiously scribbled made her hand cramp, exuding tired but divine vibes like a working cow or horse spirit.

"No wonder there are appraisal stands outside too," Li Ang said.

"The Golden Country originally existed only in legends; no one anticipated its truth would conceal countless precious metals."

A young woman in guild attire approached, introducing herself as the person in charge here, personally greeting upon seeing Order Knight Commander arrive.

"Just call me Pefa, Captain Alma."

"No politeness needed, this visit isn’t for official business, you can treat it as a personal adventure," Elaphia said.

Pefa was momentarily stunned, unexpected that the Order Knight Commander would imitate ordinary Sky Knights. She finally rested her gaze on Li Ang, seemingly making some internal speculation.

Without offering any explanation, Elaphia inquired Pefa about A Xiang’s whereabouts.

The woman in charge said, the members of Cloud Wanderer aiding the scholar from Thousand Tower City locating this Golden Kingdom, on one hand shared the information with the guild for logging, on the other took on further commissions from the scholar, re-exploring this Secret Realm.

Due to this sharing act, Cloud Wanderer earned a heap of points, suddenly jumping to the top rank. This somewhat resembled and approached the world line from Dream of Omen where he and Diao together saved their fragmented world, akin to the side of Meimei.

Having not seen the internal situation of the Golden Kingdom, Li Ang couldn’t say if they acted out of whimsy or great wisdom, leaning toward the latter. Because the external gold and precious metals held little significance to the Celestial Group; the potential rare rewards at its core were the real key.
