The Innkeeper Chapter 677 Lament

Lex suppressed a groan. He had lost count of how many universal entities he had established a relationship with. The Midnight Inn was obvious. Then there were a number of Daolords and Demi-Dao Lords. Then there was the Henali. One could not also forget the mysterious man who suddenly showed up inside his room one day. He should also not forget that he had an unknown enemy out there sowhere from whom he had stolen Fenrir - he had no idea what level that guy was at.

There were also a number of systems he had been skirting around but avoiding getting too involved with such as the Emporium and Reaving Dread rcenary group (the group through which the Inn hired extra guards for its events).

As if all of that was not enough, now he had to deal with this Tower of Providence. Once he was done lanting, he turned his attention back to the information he received. He had completed a task for the tower, so in exchange the tower would reward him, and at the sa ti make him one of its agents. As an agent, a connection between him and the tower would be established, and he could apply to complete another task whenever he wanted. As a result, he would continue to be rewarded. Moreover, the rewards would not be random, but would be what he needed most at that ti.

If he chose to not take up any missions on his own, once every 100 years the tower would randomly summon him to complete another task.

Looking at it objectively, this wasn't such a bad thing. In fact, if other people encountered such a thing they would consider it their lucky break as they had encountered a fortuitous opportunity. Who would say no to being rewarded exactly what one needed most at the ti?

The thing was, Lex was really too busy to care about such things. Moreover, he had nurous ways to get great opportunities. Even if his quest rewards weren't counted, he could always just go fishing inside the Well at the Inn.

As such, he really couldn't be bothered. It was like a multimillionaire who was forced to attend tedious etings unrelated to his main business. Sure, he would be rewarded a few hundred thousand dollars now and again, but when compared to his main priorities, it really wasn't worth it.

But, since it really wasn't in his control, he stopped brooding and turned his attention to his reward. Since it was apparently the thing he needed most at the mont, it would surely be great, right?

Considering he was once again in the process of being teleported, and could not really move, he could not directly investigate the item that had landed in his hand. All he could do was check the information on it, which had also been sent to his mind.

It was a golden color translucent ball which acted as a container for an extrely precious and rare item called Taro's Fertilizer. It had many uses, all of which had been listed systematically. The one that was most relevant to Lex, however, was that it drastically sped up the sprouting of a Realm Seed. Without it, the Realm Seed would take over a million years to sprout, but with it only a few months would be needed.

Lex froze. Well, technically he was already frozen in space, but now his mind also froze. The Realm Seed would take over a million years to sprout normally? Why didn't he know this? Was this sothing the system would have taken care of, or was it sothing he would have had to figure out on his own?

Logically, if one thought about it, it made sense. A normal realm was no small matter, and was different from the Minor Realms which were found everywhere. So for one to be created, it made sense that it would take a long ti. But considering that the reward was from the system, he did not think too much about it.

Now… it appeared as if things weren't so simple. Fortunately, he had run into the Tower of Providence, and received this reward. It really was the thing he needed most right now.

He spent the remainder of his ti considering if there were any other misconceptions he had about information given to him by the system. He had been misdirected so easily, despite the fact that he had his guard up.

Once the teleportation finally ended, Lex found himself on the grassy plains through which he had been teleported away to begin with. He looked around to search for Fenrir, but did not find him. He was not too worried though, since according to the connection he had with Fenrir the pup was fine. He would have to leave it behind, as he didn't have ti to wait around for it, but as soon as it finished its task in the tower, Lex could directly summon it to himself.

Next, he checked up on the system to ensure everything was fine, only to discover the abnormally powerful tribulation taking place! He was instantly reminded of the tribulation Ragnar underwent, and began adding additional protective formations around the tribulation room!

This was insane. The power of these stronger tribulations was too much for him to bear at the mont with the facilities he had on hand. Maybe, in the future, he should set up a restriction on the level of guests allowed to attend the Star rank upgrade ceremonies.

Curious, he checked the identity of the person undergoing the tribulation, and discovered that it was the devil that ragnar had challenged.

His na was Warheil, and he seed completely unbothered by the lightning that was ferociously striking his body. He was sitting casually with his legs folded, as if it was not sothing worth considering at all.

A solemn look entered Lex's eyes. This devil… was too powerful. Ragnar's performance was already impressive when he broke through, but this devil was even stronger.
