Chapter 1278 Only a few traitors
With that done, he bid his farewell, and returned to the Inn, ready to check the rewards the governor had given him.
His rush to check his rewards was not because in the past he delayed checking his rewards until he forgot about them - not at all. Instead, he could not believe that he got two hearts of a Jorlam!
That was a being so massive that a single one of its pupils was equivalent to a star. Its body defied Lex\'s capacity for comprehension. He could only imagine that a single one of its hearts was probably bigger than the continents in the Midnight realm, and he was right.
For the foreseeable future, they would remain within the ring the Dao Lord had given him. But they represented something extremely exciting.
Jorlam blood was perhaps one of the highest quality ingredients one could get below the Dao realm. If anyone tried to absorb it they would die via explosion, but since when had that been an issue for Lex? He\'d found a way to use Cosmic Erosion Elixir to give his workers spatial abilities. He could only imagine what he could do with this.
First, he would use it to elevate himself, and then the others.
Then he looked at the other rewards he\'d gotten. One was a small note, letting him know that he could keep entire planets inside this ring - not that he was surprised. This was larger than anything he\'d ever seen before. It was larger than entire Minor realms!
The next was a scroll called The Ten Tribulations! The scroll contained a sword technique created by the governor himself when he was in the celestial realm, according to a note. Each strike was stronger than the last, with the tenth strike being strong enough to kill a celestial immortal! Or at least, the governor had once killed a celestial immortal with nothing except that strike.
Of course, learning it would not be easy, but Lex was quite intrigued by it. It was the most powerful technique he had ever received, so obviously he was going to learn it.
That left only two more rewards for him, as well as the letter for Charles. As curious as Lex was, he did not pry into the details of the letter. Instead he looked at the first of his last two rewards.
One was a metallic token, one that could be used in any realm to seek refuge or aid from the Henali. The other was a guest coupon for… heaven?
Dumbfounded, Lex immediately withdrew the coupon, and whistled when he read it. It was literally a coupon for heaven, or also known as The Seraphim Resort. It was within a realm controlled by angels, and it was a resort that catered to immortals, though its main business was catering to Dao Lords!
Lex could not believe that the governor had given Lex, a worker of the Midnight Inn, a coupon to another resort! Was that a jab at the Midnight Inn?
New Quest: Visit the Seraphim Resort, identify 3 shortcomings of the Midnight Inn, and then improve them!
Quest time limit: 1 year!
Quest Reward: The Burgandy Violin
Quest failure punishment: 3 MT!
Remarks: It\'s not copying if you do it better than the original, it\'s innovation!
Lex almost burst into laughter. The system was petty. But he had to admit, it sounded quite appealing to visit another immortal level hotel and see how they do things. He put it on his agenda.
"Mary, do we have any information about the HOA yet?"
"Not beyond the basics. The HOA is an organization of rogue cultivators, and they don\'t really have too stellar a reputation. The Henali share your suspicions about them being responsible for the evacuation for other high level members of Sanguis Pluvia. They\'ll update us when they learn more. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
"By the way, your meeting with Jotun is set in a few hours. Apparently, he will be joined by William, and they\'re bringing something that\'ll help Moon\'s situation. They also said they have news about Liz, and will share it when they arrive."
Everything was coming together, which was honestly much better than he expected when he started preparations for this massive war.
"How is everyone faring? Was the cooperation alright? No unexpected issues?"
Considering that Lex had allied with devils, angels, A.I., demons, pirates, bunnies, peacocks, beasts and countless other races, empires and organizations, he did not expect everything to go smoothly. But then again, everyone knew what they were getting into.
"Actually, everyone other than the A.I. seem quite pleased with the end result. Only three groups tried to backstab us, and as per our deal with Lilith, we are handing over all captured traitorous souls to her as a reward for her help."
"Alright, sounds good enough. Let me know when Charles recovers from his tribulation, I have a letter for him. I\'m assuming he passed his tribulation."
"Yes he did, though I expect he\'ll take a few weeks to adapt to his new realm. Not everyone is as quick about it as you."
Lex nodded, and then teleported to the Innkeeper\'s office, and slipped into his Host Attire. He sat down on the table, then mentally prepared himself to pull out the governor\'s letter.
