Chapter 410 - Guild Master And City Lord

They soon returned back to the inn as the sun started to sink down the horizon.

"Master, are you giving me a lesson again?" Humility asked.

"Yes, but you're not allowed to seduce me this time," Lawrend replied.

The last time he tried to give her a lesson, it turned kinky and lewd. By the end of it, he came inside her.

"Hehehehe. Why are you so worried about that, Master?" Humility asked with a smile on her face.

"How am I supposed to teach you then?" Lawrend retorted.

"Okay. I won't do it again. Hehe," Humility giggled.

And so, Lawrend taught Humility about magic again.

An hour later, the two of them finished, and they ate dinner before going to bed.

…

The next day–

They ate breakfast and immediately after they finished, a knock came at Lawrend's door.

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

Aezel opened the door and looked at the person outside. It was one of the High Mages, and he stood in front of the door nervously.

"I-Is Sir Lawrend inside?" the High Mage asked.

"Yes, why?" Aezel asked.

"Arch Mage Gerban is looking for him," the High Mage replied.

"Master, I think it's time for you to return to the Mage Guild," Aezel said.

"It's already time? Okay, I'm coming," Lawrend replied.

He walked towards the door and looked at the High Mage.

"S-Sir Lawrend, follow me," the High Mage said and led the way.

'Am I that scary?' Lawrend thought to himself and shook his head.

A dozen minutes later, they arrived at the Mage Guild.

"Sir Lawrend!" Gerban greeted him at the entrance of the Mage Guild.

"Gerban."

Lawrend smiled at him.

"I have some good news for you. The Mage Guild allowed it," Gerban said.

"That fast?" Lawrend asked in surprise.

"Yes. The Mage Guild from the capital contacted the Mage Guild from the Empire and asked for permission. They said yes considering your track record," Gerban explained.

"That is good."

Lawrend smiled at him in satisfaction.

"Come inside, Guild Master Lawrend," Gerban said and led him inside.

Lawrend turned to glance at the High Mage, and he immediately looked away.

'So that's why.'

He finally understood why the High Mage seemed so nervous. He must be worried that Lawrend would take revenge on them for spreading false rumors about him.

Lawrend followed Gerban inside, and the eyes of the mages inside the guild were full of respect. They bowed to him slightly as a show of respect.

As they walked through the hallway, Lawrend couldn't help but ask Gerban.

"Am I also the City Lord of this city?"

"Yes. You also have the responsibility to take care of the people in the city. Any mishap that occurs in the city is now on your shoulders," Gerban answered.

"..."

Lawrend was speechless. That meant that he now had more burden to take care of.

'I feel like this is a mistake,' Lawrend thought to himself as he smiled wryly.

"Don't worry. You have assistants like the High Mages," Gerban said as he realized what he was thinking.

"Oh? That's possible?" Lawrend asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. If you're feeling lazy, you can dump all of your duties to the High Mages," Gerban replied and winked at him.

"Please don't wink at me ever again," Lawrend said as he shivered.

It was a horrible experience to be winked by a giant man.

"Hahahahaha! Okay, we're here," Gerban said and opened the door to the Guild Master's office.

They entered the room and closed the door behind them.

"This is the Green Key. It gives you access to everything in the guild," Gerban said and passed to him a green jade key.

"Can I lend this to someone?" Lawrend asked.

"You can, but you have to notify the Mage Guild Headquarters at the capital," Gerban replied.

"Hmmm…"

Lawrend fiddled with the key in his hand and put it inside his storage ring. He sat on the chair and looked around the room.

"Well, then. My job here is done. If you encounter any difficulties or any questions, you can contact us in the capital," Gerban said and left the room.

"Fufufufu. Congratulations, Master. You're now a City Lord of a city and a Guild Master," Aezel said and bowed to him.

"Thanks. Send someone to call Humility and Elena," Lawrend ordered her.

"As per your orders," Aezel replied with a bow and exited the room.

Lawrend rested his back on the chair and wallowed in the feeling of power.

"Power comes with responsibilities… I don't like working hard on such mundane things. Once my children grow up, I will give them the throne like a hot potato," Lawrend muttered.

'You don't want to be an Eternal King?' Valentina asked.

"No. Why would I want that? There are so many things for me to explore in this world," Lawrend replied to her.

'That's true. Can you find me a body soon?' Valentina asked.

"Why do you want it soon? Now that I'm an Arch Mage, I have double the lifespan," Lawrend replied to her.

'I want to birth you a healthy child. If you don't find me a body, aren't you irresponsible?' Valentina asked in a pouty voice.

"Alright, alright. I will go ask around. I can't guarantee it though," Lawrend replied.

'That's more than enough,' Valentina replied.

The door to the room opened, and Aezel returned.

"Master, who were you talking to?" Aezel asked.

"Master was talking to me," Valentina said and appeared beside him.

"Oh! Sister Valentina, it's been a while," Aezel greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Hello. I envy you that can birth a baby for Master," Valentina replied.

"Fufufufu. Trust Master. He will help you too like the way he helped me," Aezel replied.

"Hehehe. He already helped me plenty," Valentina said with a wide smile on her face.

"Valentina, what do you think about Ramiela? Do you still hate her?" Lawrend asked.

It was something that bothered him.

"She's okay. I want to know when she was created," Valentina replied.

"Why?"

"So I can know if she was part of the angels that destroyed our civilization.. If not, I will accept her," Valentina answered.
