Absolute Beast Dominion - Chapter 460: A 4 Day Trip

Chapter 460: A 4 Day Trip

“My lord.” Sylrael arrived immediately, bowing her head respectfully.

“I will be going on a realm exploration in a few days. During that time, arrange for a party of elves to collect the natural treasures whose approximate locations have been marked on the map I will forward to you through the phone. Make sure the elves have high wood affinity so they don’t damage the delicate roots during the uprooting process,” Leo said, about to go and plan out his rest schedule.

But Sylrael stopped him.

“My Lord, Sister Lily and Sir Kaelion are absent and currently occupied with training. I suggest you take some of my sisters with you during this exploration to assist you with chores like cooking and cleaning.”

Leo looked back at her.

“But this isn’t exactly a safe exploration. It’s a highly dangerous place rich in the fire element, and there’s even a chance of encountering a Wyvern in the 5-star realm. It might put them in danger, especially because life bracelets won’t work there.”

“But Lord, it wouldn’t be good for your image if people see you all alone. I know you don’t care about all this, but I insist you take a few so that they can help you with small chores and errands while you focus on important things.”

Is she assigning me maids? Leo thought. Seeing his position, having maids was natural, but the sudden shift still felt a bit awkward to him.

But then, he suddenly recalled something.

“What happened to Naelith’s training? Has she been able to use the Fire Tornado that I told her to learn?” he asked.

“My lord, I would say she has completed almost 70% of the technique you told her to learn,” Sylrael replied calmly. “Right now, she is able to bring out flames in a large and controlled state, but her mastery over her wind affinity is not great enough to circle the flames into a tornado yet. But from my estimate, she should be able to do it within two weeks.”

“That’s great. If you want to send someone with me, include Naelith. Who knows? The fire-element-rich environment might benefit her. And I won’t be taking more than 2, so for the other one, choose someone who doesn’t rely much on wood affinity. Having wood affinity in a fire-based environment is already disadvantageous.”

Sylrael nodded.

“Don’t worry, my lord. I will choose someone strong enough to survive and capable of handling menial chores as well. They won’t disappoint you.” Saying that, Sylrael bowed lightly and left.

Leo was left to plan things out, though his mind couldn’t help but wander to the fact that having elves as maids or assistants would surely invite some unwanted attention and trouble.

As for the risk of death, Leo wasn’t too worried because they would have their own professor protecting them from the shadows. And from what Leo guessed, it would most likely be Professor Gunther, since he was the only person Leo knew who was currently free.

His plans inside the realm were simple: ride on Shyra and roam the entire realm as quickly as possible in order to gather as many natural treasures as he could. He didn’t even need to worry about carefully extracting and digesting them when he could simply store them inside his Spiritual Space with a wave of his hand and leisurely consume them later in the safety of his territory.

On that note, he suddenly had a very good idea.

“Treasure Vault…” he muttered, recalling the message from the Godbeast about opening its treasure vault to give something valuable to Leo.

“I should create my own personal treasure vault inside the territory to showcase my wealth,” Leo said softly, his eyes gleaming faintly.

Even if he had his Spiritual Space to store the most valuable treasures, some less valuable ones, like treasures ranked Purple-tier or lower, could still be displayed outside to showcase his wealth. This would make negotiations with other parties much easier when they saw Purple-tier treasures lying openly before their eyes—treasures that might be useless to Leo, but were of extreme importance to them. As a result, he could easily drive them into desperation and obtain the best possible deals in transactions.

Not to mention, people who couldn’t sense his strength and tried to act casually around him would immediately straighten up after seeing those treasures. And Leo knew those people could very well be the fat merchants of the inner-core cities, with whom he was bound to do business in the future.

As he casually strolled around, he came across the Bison Barn, where the Bisons had collapsed onto the ground, their bodies trembling in fear. The same was true for the mice; they remained hidden within the fur but were still frozen stiff with terror. The only reason there was no commotion from the mice was because of Zelut’s presence and crowd control.

Since Zelut was Leo’s tamed beast, he wasn’t affected much by Nyxa’s howl.

Many elves could be seen trying to calm the Bisons, but it was useless. And Miho, who could soothe them with the aura of a Noble Spirit Bison, wasn’t present.

Leo immediately got an idea and extended his Spiritual Boundary outward, encompassing all the Bisons, mice, and elves within its range. Immediately after, he passed an intent of goodwill and calmness through the imposed spiritual boundary.

The effect was immediate.

The Bisons and mice gradually calmed down, their trembling easing. Even the elves, who were still slightly affected, felt a wave of relief wash over them like cool water. They simultaneously turned toward Leo and thanked him with respectful bows.

[Spiritual Sense] – Low 3% -> 5%

After peacefully settling down in his room, Leo took out his phone.

>Ember Family’s Secret Realm Exploration Event Date – 5th May to 9th May.

>Interested individuals can register to participate until 4th May 23:50.

>Eligibility Criteria – Fresher and Student Rank <= 500

>No participation fee and no cost for life-saving intervention by a guardian. But in case a guardian needs to step in to save you, you cannot proceed with further Realm Exploration.

Leo immediately messaged Lily about the matter and asked if she would be participating. He expected her reply to come a bit late, but her message came back surprisingly quickly.
