For a short mont there he can laugh and forget the pressuring problems at hand. In tis of great stress, Adhara's presence is always able to make him calm down just from being there, Rex doesn't know when he develops this kind of chemistry with her.
Maybe because she's the one that accompanied him from the start, he doesn't know.
Rex feels refreshed from teasing Adhara about the attack from the cursed creatures, and now they both are cuddling on the bed. With most of the things he can do now has been covered, he doesn't need to go anywhere except for training.
With his control over his mind being very high, Rex can ditate in any position he wants.
Even while he was lying down with Adhara snuggling on his arm, he was still ditating with his eyes closed. Adhara clearly needs so comfort, and by doing this he's basically killing two birds with one stone.
Hours passed, and his ditation was disturbed when soone knocks on the door.
Opening his eyes he glanced at the glazed window and find that it was already noon, and Adhara is still asleep despite the knocking sound which is surprising. 'She must've really been exhausted from fighting those cursed creatures' Rex thought while looking at her glittering sleeping face.
Adhara's sleeping face looks stunning, her face glowed even if there's no golden sunlight.
Caressing her head one ti he then takes a deep breath before he gets up from bed gently not wanting to disturb Adhara's sleep, 'I wanted to tell her about the Herald Mark, but I ended up accompanying her sleep. I'll just tell her later' Rex thought wryly.
With that he heads to the door and opened it, Flunra is the one knocking on the door.
"It's the Dark Elves" Flunra said, informing the arrival of the Dark Elves.
Upon hearing this Rex nodded his head as the two of them made their way to the great hall and walks out of the castle, they head to the gate before the gate opens automatically through one thought from Rex's mind.
The castle is linked to him, he basically can control the entire castle in whatever he wants.
Right in front of the castle are dozens of Dark Elves almost reaching a hundred alongside many carriages bringing glowing stones, they are here to ship the elental stones that are promised to Rex during the negotiation.
Going down from a royal wagon pulled by two mutated black panthers were three Dark Elves.
Out of the three Dark Elves, one of them is familiar to Rex, it was Naela, the female Dark Elf that was betrothed to Kyran. Not that it's already fixed, but Rex can't imagine Kyran refusing such a wonderful lady, especially when he's the one that wanted to ally with the Dark Elves.
"My apology for coming here too later, Silverstar Alpha..." a middle-aged Dark Elf bowed slightly.
Rex glanced at the Dark Elf that ca out alongside Naela, he raises his eyebrows and replied, "I don't mind, the shipnt is due today and there's still much left ti before the end of the day." he paused before he points at the two middle-aged Dark Elves standing in front of Naela, "Are you Naela's parents?"
Upon hearing this, both Dark Elves smiled and nodded their heads.
"Forgive for not introducing us first, I'm the head family of the Urithana Noble Family. My na is Fylson and beside here" Fylson politely points at the Dark Elf beside him that resembles Naela greatly, "is my wife, Viessa" he introduced.
Viessa bowed elegantly by bending her knees a bit, "It's a pleasure to et with you" she mutters.
Looking at the two Supernaturals who are giving him all smiles, Rex finds it hard to smile back at them but he managed to force out one, "No need for formalities, I co from a humble background. Calling Rex is enough"
"I-I wouldn't dare..." Fylson replied with a wry smile, he can't afford to address Rex like that.
No matter what kind of background Rex has when he was weaker, he's now a ninth-rank realm entity that needs to be addressed with adoration and respect. Anything lesser than that would be offensive to his presence.
Flunra standing on the side then intervenes, seeing that Rex is not accustod to this.
"Address him as Lord Rex, there's no need for you to address him by his position" he said, giving Fylson a way out which he eventually agreed. It's way more respectful to address Rex as Lord instead of just Rex.
Waving his hand to dismiss the topic, he points at the carriages, "Are these all of it?"
"Yes, it's 60% of our kingdom's elental stone storage, each one of them is high-grade. Although we need it to trade with the Dwarves, winning Lord Rex to our side is way more important right now" Fylson answered while also looking at the carriages.
Rex ntally counted the carriages and finds them anywhere in the number forties.
Since he can't guarantee to betroth Naela to Kyran as he's his own man, King Jorik decided to give him 60% of the kingdom's elental stones instead of the agreed 70%. Rex finds it fair, he doesn't want to force Kyran to do anything.
'I expected to be much more, but then again this should be more than enough' Rex thought.
Although the Dark Elves offered to bring the elental stones inside and helped Rex store them sowhere, Rex declined and just told them to make them into one pile. Despite being confused, the Dark Elves did it anyway.
It didn't take long before a mountain of colorful elental stones are piled in front of him.
While looking at the mountain of elental stones that reaches quite high, Rex finds that there are not one lightning, light, and dark elental stone. Most of them are wind elental stones, the others are water, fire, and earth elental stones.
Nodding his head, Rex touches the mountain of elental stones.
As if there was an invisible force that teleported the elental stones away, the mountain of elental stones got reduced by half instantly. The Dark Elves that don't know that Rex has 'space' elent power were surprised to see this.
But now knowing that, it's a fool for them to offer Rex their help.
Upon seeing the gold currently inside his pocket now, Rex frowned as it was not as much as he expected, 'I think gaining gold through elental stone is really hard, using dollars is way easier compared to this' he thought with a sigh.
One high-grade elental stone is only equal to one gold, that's a rip-off in Rex's opinion.
It doesn't compare even to the 100:1 ratio that the dollars have against gold, and in human territory, one high-grade elental stone costs way more than $100. Saying that it's hard to get gold through elental stones is an understatent.
Not wanting to dwell on this for too long, Rex turned around to look at the castle.
Gazing up at the Circling Sentinel that makes a shape of a blue Starfall rotating above the castle in a circle, Rex points the palm of his hand toward it and instructs sothing to it through his mind. Instantly after that, the Circling Sentinel shot toward him.
Fylson, Viessa, and Naela were surprised to see a blue Starfall heading toward them.
But Rex then said without looking at them, "Don't worry, it's not going to hurt you"
Swoosh!
Like a teor falling from the sky, the Circling Sentinel hits the mountain of elental stones that are still robust even though half of them have already been converted to gold by Rex. Soon, a blue hue envelops the entire elental stones.
Under the gaze of the onlookers, the elental stones started to turn into energy one by one.
Starting from the top the elental stones started to burst into fragnts of energy and supply it to the Circling Sentinel, and it didn't take long before another blue radiant stream shoot towards the castle.
Rex watches as the experience bar of the castle started rising bit by bit.
Ever since he knows that the castle was attacked by the cursed creatures and Adhara got hurt by the fight between them, he was determined to make the castle stronger. One such way to make the castle stronger is to upgrade the castle.
By default, the castle only provides the ability to gather all kinds of energy into it.
Upon the first upgrade of the Moony Castle of the Lycaon King, the castle will gain two additional effects that strengthen the Circling Sentinel and the owner which is Rex himself. It's a good investnt and worth the elental stones.
It takes about ten minutes before the castle reaches the first upgrade.
