Chapter 88: Elysia Gothwing
"Rias, once we are done shopping, I'll take you to my secret realm," Aleron smiled. "Since you've decided to partake in my plan, I'll show what I have."
Rias was overjoyed!
"Thank you, Ale. I will not disappoint you," Rias said, looking joyful and her eyes determined.
"Thank you, young master Ale," Roxen cheekily grinned.
After eating breakfast, Aleron, Rias, and Roxen went shopping.
Rias wanted to buy a new weapon and armor set for Club Heads and some rewards for the next Longinus Academy competition, so this city was perfect for shopping as it was one of the five intercontinental cities, being a massive trade hub.
The shopping area of the city was lively and abundant in size, situated in the southeast area of the city and taking 1/4th of the city's area.
There was also an exclusive parking space in that direction outward as many people would only come here for trading and business before leaving.
Aleron was looking forward to that area, so the trio went there for shopping. 'I want to give some good weapons to Dax, Eno, Yueha, and others. None of them came with a weapon matching their level, so once they get a suitable weapon, they'll become more powerful.'
But on the way, Aleron started feeling that he was observed, just like the time when it happened in the VIP room.
'Where is it?' Aleron focused on his Monitor Dome, which was perpetually activated since he had unlimited Magilore and he didn't want to deactivate it. He could still observe all the people and the entire city's movement live in his head.
...
Goddess Palace.
Elysia sat at the center of the work hall as she observed all the screens connected to her eyes spread in various parts of the world on all three continents.
At the moment, her active focus was on the eye observing Aleron. 'This eye is more advancedly conjured and under my direct control. He shouldn't be able to detect this one.' She wanted to observe Aleron and know his powers and capabilities before making her plan. 'Davin, you will regret making a fool of me and looking down on me to that degree. Even if not him, I will definitely make you suffer before ending you.'
She was a proud woman who defied her all-powerful father and mother, fought out of the forcefully arranged marriage, and descended into this lower cosmos to struggle and fight her way back up while getting stronger.
And now, that filthy dog dared to covert her and put a measly Warlord position as a bargaining chip.
'You will regret your meeting with me, Darvin,' Elysia's eyes were completely frosty.
At the moment, her priority had shifted from being a Warlord to making Davin beg for his life at her hands at any cost.
'Aleron Rivenal. Let me see what you got.'
...
'I can't detect this eye,' Aleron frowned.
"What happened, Ale?"
Aleron shook his head, "Nothing."
'Goddess is observing me and I can't detect her eyes,' Aleron thought as he followed Rias and Roxen.
But seeing as they entered a massive building, Aleron's focus shifted.
'This building...wait, are we at the Grand Zim Auction House?'
"Rias, we are going to an Auction?"
"Yep," Rias smiled with a nod, "Some good stuff is coming in today's auction."
"Many big shots are already here," Roxen's eyes glanced around as he recognized powerhouses from various parts of the continent.
Rias suddenly chuckled and said, "Ale, I don't know your plan yet, but taking this city under your wing is definitely a powerful move already. Out of all five cities, Nailzim city ranks 2nd in intercontinental market and trading. Its auction house is on par with the Red Sea Auction House of Crimson Light City."
"It's also 3rd most populated city on the continent," Roxen grinned. "Young master, the items in this auction will be good. Most of the treasures from the ruined battlefield zone are auctioned here, so when it is time for auction, many big shots and hidden powerhouses arrive here."
"Ruined battlefield zone?" Aleron's eyes sparkled.
Rias nodded, her expression slightly somber, "It's a piece of a large battlefield dimension, but not from our world. Its size is as big as this world, but completely dead and ruined as if a huge battle happened that destroyed it."
"Treasures from there are at least Legendary-rank and there are untold amounts of higher- rank weapons in broken forms found every day," Roxen said as she glanced at a crate coming in heavy security around it, "that crate is filled with treasures from that battlefield."
'Five legendary-rank guards?! Damn, that's a big security for a crate,' Aleron was surprised. "Well, it would be a piece of cake for me to steal though," Aleron chuckled.
Rias and Roxen wryly smiled.
"But we shall buy them today," Aleron said with a laugh. "I have much wealth to spread, so I'll make good use of it."
"You have Magic Stones?" Roxen was surprised. "How much? Is your secret realm resource- rich, abnormal, or some barren type?"
"Of course, he must have," Rias lightly laughed. 'He is from a more powerful world and has such power. Oh Roxen, of course, he would have valuable wealth like magic stones.'
Meanwhile, Aleron felt something weird, but it was fleeting.
'Anyway, Roxen seems unusually curious or am I imagining?' Aleron thought.
Still, he answered with a grin, "Well, that's a surprise for you when we go there."
"Anyway, I have some money, so don't worry. I'll buy what I like."
As the trio continued their way into the auction house's grand hall, Elysia Gothwing followed them with her sharp gaze and witty tricks.
She had subtly influenced Roxen's soul, triggering curiosity to get more information out of
Aleron.
Roxen couldn't even realize it.
'But why does Aleron seem off? From what I've observed since yesterday, he didn't seem that cautious, and even dared to take such drastic actions.'
'His aura is that of Legendary-rank, but he wields Magilore,' Elysia narrowed her eyes. 'If he has such control that he detected the observation gaze, then his control of Magilore is definitely very high.'
'Such high control means once he gains knowledge or inspiration, he will detect the position
of my eye as well.'
Elysia clenched her fist, 'Who is this abnormal guy? Where is he from? If only an eye was
present in the northeast area of this content before!'
'But he definitely appeared there first.'
"Yuzu! Did you gather information about his earliest sighting?!"
"I-I am working on it. From Longinus Empire's eye monitor, it appeared that he arrived there
with Rias Longinus and her party that went to search for a candidate for the secret realm."
"I found out that they came from Falran Kingdom's territory. If my guess is right, the disappearance of Falran capital is related to him."
"So..." Yuzu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "He could be a Hero summoned by
Falran kingdom."
"The Divine Blessing that scattered and returned to us also went to a hero there, so..."
It was almost certain to everyone that Aleron was a summoned hero.
"So, I invited this disaster to my world, huh?" Elysia clenched her fist, her voice icy.
Everyone trembled, but her next words surprised them.
"Continue monitoring and don't forget to take proper rest. I don't want to miss anything in
any part of this world from now on!"
"Yes, goddess!"
'At least she is working now,' Yuzu thought as she sat down on her cushion chair and looked at Aleron at the corner of her monitor screen. 'But this bitch needs to die, Aleron. Fighto!'
