LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 369. Conspiracies.
Lazarus' group returns to Sirius' Inn, where he inserts Ignis and the others into Draupnir's Ring Artifacts for fear of them attracting attention.
Iris ran towards Lazarus. "Lazarus, I got a letter from Tiara and Cathrine containing reports of the Beast's war in the Emerald Forest and Darkness being killed in battle."
"Darkness and Kai sacrifice themselves to save Golden Fang. However, Kai was saved by the Celestial Blue Sky Roc and only suffered moderate injuries." Lazarus says.
...****************...
Everyone sat at the dining table of Sirius Inn. They waited for Reese and the others to return to the inn after finishing some affairs in the caravan of the Continent Merchant Guild.
Rias, Reese, Amara and the others returned to the inn. They had a tense expression on their faces due to the good and bad news.
Rias and the others sat at the dining table. Merlin stared at Lazarus, he got the news that Lazarus was participating in the Emerald Forest war for 2 days.
"Why is your face so tense?" Lazarus asked.
"Gilbert, something really bad is going on." Adonis says.
"I understand now that there are so many Beasts and people on Planet Antares that are growing stronger quickly." Lazarus says.
"I've learned that the planet Antares is in a period of recovery. But I don't know which recovery on Planet Antares will be going this fast." Reese says.
Lazarus nodded. "I'm afraid that soon the invaders from Planet Auriga will come to Planet Antares."
"Urs, why do people on Planet Auriga want to colonize Planet Antares?" Roland asked.
"The stronger one is and the Kingdom, they will need a lot of resources. Planet Antares still has abundant reserves of resources, people on Planet Auriga must think of Antares as a treasure box." Lazarus answered.
"Like Columbus who discovered the Americas and fought with the Native Indians to seize territory and resources. However, the people of Planet Antares were Indians, "the inner Lazarus.
...****************...
"What about the war in the Eastern Golden Sun Continent?" Lazarus asked.
"The war is still not over and now they are moving west to colonize the Black Phoenix Empire." Amara answered while drinking a cup of wine.
"I got a message from Lilith, that they've won a war with the Nebula Kingdom. But they suffered a great loss." Reese says.
"Has the Inferno Empire and the Ashura Empire still not moved?" Lazarus asked.
"The Ashura Empire and the Black Hell Empire are still immobile knowing that I, Reese and Laufey are working together." Adonis answered.
"The great war will occur when the Emperor of the Golden Sun Empire Feng Yun successfully conquers all the Kingdoms and Empires in the Eastern Continent of Golden Sun." Reese says.
Lazarus nodded. "Emperor Feng Yun would not dare to be like that without there being someone so powerful behind him."
"Lazarus, do you mean there's someone behind Emperor Feng Yun?" Iris asked.
"Iris, according to my speculation. I suspect that someone is behind Emperor Feng Yun." Lazarus answered.
"Do you know who the person behind Emperor Feng Yun is?" Reese asked.
Lazarus had a cup of tea on the table. "Emperor Feng Yun is the leader of one of the 4 great empires on Planet Antares. No one in the Four Continents and Planet Antares was able to control Emperor Feng Yun and the Golden Sun Empire from behind the scenes."
"What do you mean the guy's not from Planet Antares?" Rias asked.
Lazarus nodded. "The Blue Wind Empire has the same bloodline as the Golden Sun Empire. I thought Blue Cloud Empire was behind all this."
Everyone was surprised by Lazarus answer, Blue Wind Empire was one of the 4 largest and strongest Empires on Planet Auriga.
"Gilbert, your speculations make perfect sense. However, we now have no evidence of the Blue Wind Empire being behind the Golden Sun Empire." Adonis says.
"The Blue Wind Empire must have sent someone or a group of people to go to Planet Antares. They used Emperor Feng Yun and the Golden Sun Empire to control a large part of the Antares Planet region." Rias says.
"The Blue Wind Empire split into 2 after the previous Emperor died. The first party is the empress and the first Princess who is kind and always attach great importance to the people . The second party was the Crown Prince's side who was the 21st concubine's son and someone who could bear to kill all his own brothers, he was a very ambitious, ruthless and cunning man. The Empress did not give birth to a Prince and gave birth to only 2 Daughters and according to Blue Cloud Empire culture only the descendants of the man and his wife were allowed to lead." Merlin says.
"I understand the Crown Prince will not ascend the throne before the Empress dies. The Empress saw the darkness in the Crown Prince's heart so that he did not hand over the throne to the Crown Prince." Lazarus says.
"The Empress and Crown Prince have the same power." Rias says.
"If the Blue Wind Empire moved first before the other Kingdoms and Great Powers on Planet Auriga made a move, they would gain an enormous advantage without suffering the slightest loss. The Blue Wind Empire could control a large part of the Antares Planet region without having to work hard, negotiate or fight because the Golden Sun Empire had already done everything." Adonis says.
"Taking and acknowledging the hard work of others, is easier than doing it yourself." Camilla says.
"What should we do?" Merlin asked.
"Roland, you must return to the Storm Dragon Empire and you must tell your family about Planet Antares." Lazarus says.
"I think that's a good idea." Heath who had just arrived at the inn said.
"We can't block Blue Wind Empire's plans, unless the Empire's people and the great powers on Planet Auriga interfere in this matter." Merlin says.
"I'll be back on Planet Auriga in 1 month." Roland replied.
"Master Urs, a fox beastman woman and 2 fox masked women are looking for you." The golden-haired long-haired beastman tiger woman and purple eyes said.
"Elena, let them in." Lazarus says.
Black Market Executive Ashuka along with Ainsley and Feng Xueyin who were disguised walked into the dining room of Sirius' inn.
Asuka wore a gold-colored dress made of gold silk cloth embroidered from the Golden Silkworm thread. Ainsley and Feng Xueyin stood on Ashuka's right and left sides.
Adonis, Reese, Rias, Heath, Acasha, Adara and the Vampires stared at Asuka who had just arrived. They knew Asuka very well because they were also connected to the Black Market Organization.
"Alastair, sit beside me." Lazarus says.
"All right." Alastair got up and sat down in an empty chair beside Lazarus.
Asuka sat gracefully in Alastair's chair, then she took a deep breath as Acasha, Adara, Reese and Adonis stared at her sharply.
"Miss Asyka, have you brought all my orders?" Lazarus asked.
"I've brought all your orders." Asuka replied and took out many Legendary Rank Herbs and Materials.
Iris, Deviela and Cathrine widen their eyes, knowing Lazarus has returned the Fox Pearl to the Beastman fox race. However they did not expect Lazarus to be able to obtain herbs and materials worth over 11 Billion Gold Coins.
Rias and Merlin stared at all the herbs and meterials that were on the table. On Planet Auriga these herbs and Legendary rank materials will sell for many times the price on Planet Antares.
"Do you need anything else?" Asuka asked.
"Did you bring a lot of Legendary rank herbs and materials?" Lazarus asked.
"Didn't you only need 9 herbs and Legendary rank materials?" Asuka stared intently at Lazarus.
"Miss Asuka, I won't squeeze you dry like you used to." Lazarus smiled softly.
"Hmm." Iris coughed.
"Do you have the Fire Tiger Whiskers Flower Rank Epic, Moonlight Ganoderma Rank Epic, White Dragon Heart rank Legendary impure and Light Phoenix blood?" Lazarus asked.
"I have it all and the price is 3 billion gold coins." Asuka smiled.
"2.7 Billion gold coins. White Dragon Heart's impure Legendary rank was extremely rare." Asuka says.
"2.6 billion gold coins. I won't add any more." Lazarus answered.
"Agreed." Asuka stretched out her hand, even though she only gained a slight advantage.
Lazarus returned Asuka's hand, then gave Asuka 2.6 billion gold coins.
Asuka took out all the herbs and materials that Lazarus had ordered, she did not know what Lazarus was going to do using all these precious materials.
"Do you have 12 Earth Dragon Flower Rank Epic, 15 Mountain Lily Rank Epic and 30 Silver Orchid Rank Epic?" Lazarus asked.
"I happened to bring it, do you need it too?" Asuka asked.
"How much do you offer?"
"200 Million Gold Coins." Asuka smiled.
"I ran out of money and would buy it for 120 million Gold Coins." Lazarus says.
"All right." Asuka took out all the herbs that Lazarus had ordered.
A moment later the door of Sirius' inn opened. Helene and Blossom enter the dining room of Sirius castle, seen Black Lion Adam asleep on Blossom's lap.
"Grandfather, are you busy?" Blossom asked.
"Blossom, what do you want?" Lazarus asked.
Blossom took out the destroyed White Dragon Spear, then gave it to Lazarus.
"My spear artifact was destroyed while training with Helene, can you fix it?" Blossom pleads.
Lazarus took out the Legendary Blizzard Spear Rank, then gave it to Blossom.
"You've been using this spear for 8 years. I've made better spear artifacts for you." Lazarus smiled.
"Thank you." Blossom smiled sweetly.
Asuka stared at Lazarus with a wide gaze as Lazarus took out the Legendary Rank Artifact and passed it easily to Blossom. It was as if those Legendary Rank Artifacts had no price.
"Wait, didn't you say you didn't have money?" Asuka asked.
"I didn't bring much money and yesterday I gave more than half of my money to Iris and the others. You know the construction of the Regulus region and expanding the North Alliance requires a lot of money." Lazarus answered.
"Do you have any Legendary Rank Artifacts in your storage Artifacts?" Asuka asked.
Lazarus touched his chin. "I made a Fire element whip artifact from the bones of the Beast King Fire Hydra. That artifact is the best artifact I have ever made according to my current level."
"Can I see it?" Asuka asked.
Lazarus issued a 7-meter-long red smoldering whip artifact with a mixture of Lava Adamantine metal.
"A perfect artifact!" Merlin yelled.
"Grandfather Merlin, the name of this Artifact is a high quality Legendary Whip Rank Inferno Artifact. This artifact used the Beast King Fire Hydra's spinal Material and the Adamantine Lava Metal and Fire Mythril Mixture. You could say this Artifact was a semi Mythical Rank Artifact." Lazarus says.
"Do you want to sell it to me?" Asuka asked.
"17 billion gold coins." Lazarus smiled.
"I don't have that kind of money, but I'll exchange it for something valuable." Asuka took out 2 Mythical rank herbs.
Everyone's eyes widened looking at the 2 Mythical rank herbs issued by Asuka. Herbs Hellfire Rose Rank Mythical and Eternal Darkness Orchid.
"I'll trade it." Lazarus gave the Inferno Whip Artifact and immediately brought the 2 Mythical rank herbal boxes that were in front of him. Although the Legendary Whip Rank Inferno Artifact was worth more than 2 Mythical Rank Artifacts, but both herbs were extremely rare.
"Sufuku. I know that you will be interested in these 2 herbs because you ordered some herbal element ice, fire, darkness and light." Asuka chuckles.
Asuka bid farewell to Lazarus and the others, then when Asuka's group wanted to leave Sirius' inn. Lazarus stopped them at the exit.
"I'm glad you're okay and thank you for helping me so much." Lazarus smiled.
Ainsley and Feng Xueyin nodded, then went out of Sirius' inn with Asuka. They were already wearing disguised Artifacts, but Lazarus was still aware of their disguise.
"Lazarus, what do you want to do with all these precious herbs and materials?" Iris asked.
"I wanted to shape my body, even though the process was painful and only had a 50% chance of survival%. However, it must soon be strong because war is coming." Lazarus said while bringing out many precious materials.
Everyone widened their eyes as they looked at all the precious Materials issued by Lazarus.
"Fire Phoenix Heart Rank Legendary, Ice Dragon Heart was not a pure Legendary Rank, Red Dragon Blood Rank Legendary, White Dragon Blood Rank Legendary, Frozen Genoderma 1,000 year Legendary Rank, and, Darkness Dragon Blood Rank Legendary, Light Genoderma 10,000 year Legendary Rank, Demon Skull Darkness Lily Rank Legendary, Rainbow Seven Leaf Lily Rank Legendary, Darkness Roc Heart Rank Legendary, Darkness, 100 Epic Light Lily Rank, 100 Epic Ice Lily Rank, 100 Epic Fire Lily Rank, 100 Epic Darkness Lily Rank, and 20 Epic Genoderma Rank Bloody." Merlin widened his eyes..
Lazarus released Legendary, Mythical and Void Rank Herbs and Materials.
"Ice Pearl Rank Mythical, Darkness Pearl Rank Mythical, Eternal Sun Orchid Rank Mythical, Heart Red Dragon Rank Mythical, Yggdrasil Fruit Rank Mythical, Black Turtle Blood Rank Legendary, Moonlight Snake Blood Rank Legendary, Eternal Darkness Orchid Rank Mythical, Hellfire Rose Rank Mythical, Bile Darkness Black Viper Rank Legendary, 3 Horn Unicorn Rank Legendary, Jinsom 10,000 year Mythical Rank." Merlin said it one by one.
"Urs, you used a great many high rank herbs to forge your body. One mistake can make you die!" Deviela asked.
"Mr Urs, I already knew you were a rich man. Yet I haven't seen many Legendary and Mythical rank herbs this much, even in the upper realms they are extremely expensive." Roland says.
Lazarus took out 4 main Herbs to forge his body.
"Eternal Blue Lily Rank Void, Eternal Frost Lily Rank Void, Full Moon Night Darkness Orchid Rank Void, Fire Hydra Heart Rank Mythical!" Merlin yelled.
"Grandfather Merlin, I can't do it alone and can you help me to forge my body?" Lazarus asked.
"No, I can't set the exact composition wrong just a little bit could make you die." Merlin answered.
Lazarus took out a book he had made about how to forge a body using all the herbs that were here. The 2nd, 4th, 7th, 14th, 15th and 16th births were the ones who helped Lazarus compile this book.
"My decision is already round and I can definitely get through this process." Lazarus says.
"Duke Regulus, I happen to know about a little alchemy can I help you?" Helene says.
"Young lady, you will only be a burden when you help me." Merlin says.
"Grandfather, let Helene help you and Master Heath I'll be at Sirius Academy in 3 days." Lazarus says.
"All right." Heath smiled.
Lazarus took out the Red Dragon Ignis and the other 8 Beast Dragons.
"Soldrake!" Adonis and Acasha shouted.
"Have not seen each other for a long time and Mr Heath can you give us a comfortable cage to rest in?"
"...."
