LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 334. The Water Calm Before the Storm.
Lazarus bids farewell to Red Dragon Agni and all the Beast Dragon herds. They then came out of the Ignite's lair.
"Darling, are you okay?" Theresa asked.
"Theresa, I'm fine and introduce them are Roland, Rias, Louise, Kiara and Grandpa what's your name?" Lazarus asked.
"Aragon Merlin. Your young miss is very beautiful and has an Affinity 5 element magic Skill of lightning, fire, wind, earth and water." Merlin said as he kissed Theresia's hand.
Lazarus pulled Merlin's beard. "Theresa is my wife, your old grandfather mustn't touch my wife!"
Roland looked at Theresia with a flushed face, even though Theresia was from the lower realms. Yet she had an extremely beautiful appearance, her golden hair and golden eyes were just like someone from the Golden Dragon Empire.
"Haha. Urs, you're very lucky to have such a beautiful wife. His golden eyes was he from the Zephyra Empire?" Merlin asked.
"Theresia was one of the Imperial Daughters of Zephyra. Merlin's a familiar name, I seem to have known him somewhere." Lazarus says.
Red Dragon Ignite and Gold Dragon Evanthe flew rapidly towards the Lazarus group. Sage Merlin was the one who trapped and imprisoned Ignite for over 4000 years in the 4th floor of the Merlin Sage Dungeon.
"Merlin, I'll kill you!" Ignite shouting.
"Ognite!" Merlin trembled in fear.
"Sage Merlin Aragon, in the story of Knight King Arthur In the fifth age! Didn't you go to the upper realms?" Theresa was surprised.
Gold Dragon Evanthe, Red Dragon Ignatius, Black Dragon Heather held Ignite back from going berserk.
"Ignite, I'm sorry!" Merlin yelled.
"I'll burn you to ashes! Unhand me!" Ignite shouted with blood-red eyes.
"Urs, go I'll hold Ignite." Evanthe smile.
"All right." Lazarus whistled to call all the Beast on his contract.
A moment later all the Beast contracts belonging to Lazarus gathered upon hearing the call of Lazarus.
"Master, are we going back and who is that Legendary Beast Ancient Black Winged Dark Tiger?" Regulus looked at Kiara with a lustful look.
"His name is Kiara, he's from Planet Auriga. He was accidentally carried away by the dimensional vortex and ended up here." Lazarus answered.
"Master Urs, are you a Beast Master?" Kiara asked.
"I have 45 Beast contracts, although Soldrake and Winter are not my Beast contracts yet." Lazarus smiled.
Kiara knew every Beast Lazarus was a powerful Beast. Despite being in the upper realms, he looked towards the Beast herd of Lazarus big cats and was glued to a unraveling male lion and purple feathers.
Amethyst felt an electric current when he saw Kiara. As if they were already connected by the thread of fate, they felt a relationship that was difficult to explain.
"Regulus, Goldie, Emerald, Onyx you already have a partner! Remember not to tease Kiara and if you tease her I'll castrate your birds." Lazarus gave off a bloodthirsty aura.
Nash and Jin had sparkling eyes hearing that. Is not now their chance to get a partner. Spring has arrived for them.
Amethyst looked at Kiara, then turned around. She was still traumatized when her love for Linnn was rejected and Linn preferred Emerald over her.
"Amethyst, doesn't it seem that the lioness is attracted to you." Emerald says.
Amethyst shook his head lightly. "You, Golden Fang, Regulus, Onyx, Jin and Nash are more handsome than me." Amethyst said, then walked towards the Emerald Forest.
"Master, we will return to the Emerald Forest to deal with the wandering Beasts along with Soldrake and Winter. While you go home with Celena, Annora, and Rhea." Ignis says.
"Well, remember to protect each other." Lazarus rubbed his face against Ignis' head.
Haru, Ren and Lime perched on Lazarus' shoulders and head.
"Celes, do you want to come home with me?" Lazarus asked.
"Master, I want to visit my flock." Celestial smile.
Kiara leaves with all the Beast to contract Lazarus leaving only Celena, Annora and Rhea for their mounts back to the Regulus region.
"Are we going to ride the Beast Dragon?" Roland asked with wide eyes.
"Have you guys never climbed the Beast Dragon?"
"On Planet Auriga high rank beasts are very difficult to tame. A Beast Master or Knight who can contract with high rank Beasts is extremely rare." Merlin answered.
"I see even on Planet Antares someone who made contracts with many pure-blooded high-ranked Beasts is just a little." Lazarus nodded, then climbed onto the back of Light Dragon Annora with Theresia.
Roland hesitated to climb onto the Gold Dragon Rhea's back. However he and Merlin finally ventured to ride the Gold Dragon Rhea's back.
Rias and Louise ride on the backs of the Darkness Dragon Celena. They had never seen a pure-blooded Darkness Dragon as bright as Celena.
"A very beautiful black scales." Rias says.
"Thank you for your compliment." Celena answered.
The Lazarus group flies back to Regulus aboard the 3 female Dragons. They saw the view of the Forest, Mountain, Hills and cliffs around the Cerulean Forest. They also saw a herd of Lazarus contract Beasts who were climbing walking and flying past the Storm Mountains to go to the Emerald Forest.
"I don't understand why all those high rank Beasts didn't attack us." Merlin says.
"Haha. Grandfather Merlin take it easy, when you deal with the Beast on Planet Antares. Then call me and I'll face it." Lazarus says.
"Urs, are you the Grand Duke of Regulus territory? I've never heard of a region called Regulus in the Western Continent of Zephyra." Merlin asked.
"Grandfather Merlin, the Regulus region is the Northern region of the Lion Heart Empire close to the White Tiger Forest, White Snake Forest and the Arsen Mountains." Theresia answered.
"What! Isn't that territory a dangerous place that isn't worth inhabiting? That region was the territory of the former last fight between White King Orion against Six King and Seven Sun. Throughout the year the region was covered in snow and waves of small-scale, medium-scale, and large-scale Beasts occurred every year." Merlin says.
"Now the region of Regulus became a prosperous region. You must see it and be surprised at the land of Regulus." Lazarus smiled.
"I want to see the beauty of the land of Regulus." Rias smiled.
"Hohohoo. I want to taste the typical Wine of Regulus." Louise says.
****************
The Lazarus group reached Regulus, and they saw the second and third cities that were completed. Both cities have 4 fortresses and multi-layered Artifacts, although there are very few people who just inhabit the two cities.
The most striking thing is that the irrigation channels are made very effective for a wide range of uses including running fields, drinking places, breeding Beast consumption and bathing.
The very long path planted by Ice Willow trees, Ice Ex, Ginkgo and others on each right and left is made very beautifully. The tree is useful for showing the way when the road of Regulus region is covered by heavy snow during winter.
"Does this road connect 3 cities? How do you have an idea to build a river channel like that?" Roland asked.
"Roland might mean irrigation canal." Lazarus says.
"Urs, so smart I never thought of building that channel. Usually agriculture waits for rain or summer for snowy areas to water plantations and farms. With a system called "Irigation" farmers won't worry about water shortages." Merlin smiled.
Louise touched his chin. "Hohohoo. Wouldn't this system be used by everyone? This system will change the world of agriculture and plantations. A great change for prosperity, for the 300 years I lived I was still thinking about this concept."
"Louise, we can use this system in the region of Planet Auriga. Although many regions use almost the same system, but not as effective as this system." Rias says.
"Urs, are you the one who designed all these buildings and territories?" Roland asked.
"Me and the Dwarves arranged it. Although the cost I incurred was very expensive and could empty all Regulus treasure rooms. But all according to the price I do not regret spending all my wealth to build Regulus." Lazarus smiled.
"Sufuku. Honey, you're making a huge profit in Regulus and your business. Isn't this the same as investing in the future?" Theresa asked.
Lazarus smiled. "Fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh cities are beginning to be built and we are still short of many inhabitants."
"Will not the inhabitants come by themselves when they see a prosperous region?" Louise asked.
"Louise, I think more about the quality of the population than the quantity of the population. I think of the welfare of the inhabitants, in the upper and lower realms many Kingdoms and Great Powers were destroyed for treason, corruption and war. I want Regulus to be a peaceful region, though peace will never be as long as the humanoid race has its own greed and importance. At least I can minimize the destruction by choosing my followers and residents." Lazarus says.
Everyone was silent to the words of Lazarus. Though they knew the ideology of Lazarus sounded impossible, they seemed interested in the ideology of Lazarus.
"Urs, that's impossible. Although you can overcome internal problems, but there are still many external problems. Greedy people will definitely target Regulus' territory." Rias says.
"Haha. Miss, did you know Regulus could be a prosperous region like this because his foundation was built with a lot of sweat, blood and dead people. Strength is everything whether it's on Planet Antares or Planet Auriga. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow will be. Do you think I'm a naive and kind man? I've killed thousands, tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of people and Beasts in order to be in my position now." Lazarus stood on Annora's back and looked at Regulus's territory from above.
"Hohohoo. Urs, is your ambition just that?" Louise laughs.
"I just want to see the smiles of the people of Regulus. The children who grew up strong and well and the Regulus region prospered. I will destroy anyone who looks at Regulus with hatred and greed. All the people who lived in the Regulus region were brave and did not fear death. They will sacrifice everything including his life for Regulus." Lazarus smiled.
"Arthur, did you see him? Isn't this young man a better leader than you?" inner Merlin.
The Lazarus group reached Regulus Castle, everyone immediately gestured to Iris and the others that Lazarus and Theresa had returned.
"Annora, Celena, Rhea you guys have to wait here." Lazarus says.
"We will guard Regulus Castle until Albion, Sun Flower and Snow Flower return." Darkness Dragon Celena replied.
Lazarus' group went to the meeting room. Rias, Louise, Roland and Merlin followed behind Lazarus.
When he opened the door, Lazarus saw that everyone had decorated the meeting room beautifully. Everyone sat down with good food next to them.
Roland and Merlin were fascinated with the 9 beautiful women who greeted them, wearing beautiful dresses.
"Iris, what's going on here?" Lazarus asked.
"Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus happy birthday at the age of 67. May you always be blessed by the gods." Iris smiled brightly.
Everyone raised their glasses and congratulated Lazarus. Although Lazarus did not know his birthday, but he was very happy with the small party held by Iris and the others.
"Sufuku. Cousin, happy birthday at 67 years old. I didn't know you were so young." Luciana placed a necklace of flowers on Lazarus' neck.
"Thank you." Lazarus is grateful to everyone.
Rias looked at Deviela, she seemed to know Deviela. Wasn't his face the same as his best friend the fourth wife of the Silver Night Ella Empire's Emperor.
"Include them are 10 wives, 6 children, 2 daughters-in-law and 2 grandchildren." Lazarus smiled.
"What!" Merlin and Roland shouted.
Gladius, Raegal and Sebastian approach Lazarus while carrying a baked Golden Sheep Epic Beast. They had already thought of the best reward for Lazarus and they decided to choose the Roasted Golden Sheep which was the first-placed Beast in Antares. They bought this Golden Sheep using all their savings money.
"Golden Sheep!" Lazarus shouting.
"Haha. Urs, do you like our gifts?" Sebastian laughing.
"I like it and it's very expensive. You must have spent all your money to buy this Golden Sheep." Lazarus answered.
Lazarus gives 3 Artifacts storage pouches to Sebastian, Reiga and Gladius.
"Urs, what do you mean?" Reiga asked.
"That's your bonus for helping me out so much and you already have a partner. Gift Evangeline, Brianna and Camilla with the money." Lazarus smiled.
Reiga, Sebastian and Gladius smiled. They learn that Lazarus is a good man, even though he is more ruthless than the devil when dealing with his enemies.
"Let's party all night! Bleddyn take out the Monkey Wine in the warehouse and pour it into everyone's cup!"
"By pleasure." Bleddyn answered.
"Long live Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus!" Everyone cheered.
Sebastian, Reiga, Gladius, Sarion and Luciana had frightened expressions as they looked towards Rias. However Lazarus immediately sent a voice transmission to them about the beginning of his meeting with Rias, Roland, Merlin and Louise.
"Miss Rias, can you come with me to enjoy this party?" Luciana smiled as she hugged Rias' hand.
Rias replied to Luciana, then followed Luciana to the most magnificent seat.
"Grs." Leonhart pulls Lazarus' thigh.
"Black Lion, do you want to eat with me? Sebastian serve all this food to the others too." Lazarus smiled.
"All right." Sebastian answered.
"Urs, thank you for the banquet." Roland smiled.
"Roland, although the food here is not as good as the food in Auriga. Hope you enjoy it." Lazarus says.
Lazarus knew that the water was calm before the storm and there were still many problems to be solved.
"Deandre Galanthus, Emperor Feng Yun Golden Sun, Silver Phoenix Empire, Nebula Kingdom, Golden Dawn Organization are still many problems that I have to solve." Inner Lazarus.
...****************...
A brown-skinned burly man, snow-white hair and blue eyes was looking at the blizzard outside his castle.
"Deandre, have you always thought of mastering the Boreas Empire?" A woman approached Deandre with a beautiful smile.
"Mr Galan and Empress Dowager Agatha were always watching my movements. I've killed Arka, despite using someone else's hand. But Jack betrayed me and wanted to kill me, I was badly wounded in the fight with Jack." Deandre asked.
"No, the Ice King Galan was an enormous barrier. We can't touch Ice King Galan, but unlike Alcander we can still kill him." A burly man with golden hair and golden eyes with a face covered by a mask of an angry expression said.
"Alcander, that bastard must be killed immediately. I should have been the ruler of the Northern Continent. Shouldn't my father Orion be the Emperor?" Deandre asked as he extended his hand towards the full moon.
"Vengeance. Your father Orion was a good-natured man, but those bastards worked together to kill him." A long black-haired man said (The spoiler is the Saint Goddess of Darkness Nyx Ver, Veron, Veronika)
"Alcander and Carissa are the greatest obstacles to uniting the North." A purple-haired man with a mask of sadness said.
"Do I have to accept the offer of the Golden Dawn Organization or the Golden Sun Empire?" Deandre asked.
"Haha. The Golden Dawn Organization was an extremely cunning Organization, all of its members being pawns and Emperor Feng Yun was a very manipulative person. The Empire and the Organization have their own purposes, we must not be with wolves that can pounce on us." A long brown-haired man with a mask of pleasure expression said.
"More importantly we must immediately unite the North and avenge Mr. Orion." A red-haired man wearing a mask of frightened expression said.
"Dad, I'll avenge you soon. To the Zephyra Empire and everyone involved in your death." Deandre hugged a pendant with an engraving of the name Aris.
