YM778.TV Chapter 84 Arriving At Arcane Continent.
One week later, Maximus and his family were boarding the flying boat.
"Did you say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa?" Maximus looked at his children and asked.
"Yes!"
"Are we not going back?" Layla asked.
"We\'re going back, of course," Maximus reassured them, looking at his wives who were bidding farewell to their parents and family.
"How was it?" He asked as he saw them coming back.
"It\'s alright, they said to call them often," one of his wives replied.
"Then we\'ll call them often," Maximus sighed.
...
In the sky, Maximus and his family looked at the Moonlight Kingdom one last time.
"How long until we reach Elnor Island?" Erica asked.
"We\'ll reach it in about three days."
"That\'s quite fast!" She said in shock.
"Of course, it\'s fast," Maximus said proudly.
During this time, he took the opportunity to upgrade the flying boat\'s performance and speed to Tier 6.
As for its protection capabilities, he also upgraded it to Tier 6.
All in all, he spent 6 billion GP to turn his flying boat, the Tier 3 Aura Spectre, into a hidden beast in disguise.
Normally, it would take at least 10 days to reach Elnor Island, but now it\'s only three days.
...
Three days later, Maximus came to the Tier 9 ship of EGCC parked in the harbor.
He and his family walked towards the VIP lane.
"Take us to a Tier 3 VIP 9 room," Maximus instructed, presenting his EGGC VIP 9 Token.
"Right away, sir!"
They were then led to their room.
"When is the ship leaving?" Maximus asked.
"In about two days, sir."
Maximus nodded in acknowledgment; it was indeed efficient.
You know, the Tier 9 ship can accommodate tens of millions of passengers, yet it remains so efficient.
...
More than two weeks later, they arrived at Lothmire City in the Arcane continent.
"We\'re finally here," one of his wives sighed as they disembarked from the ship.
"But I want to keep playing there," Max looked back at the ship they had just disembarked from.
The two-week journey had not been boring for them at all.
The Tier 9 ship was like a mini city with everything you could ask for.
Of course, if you have money; otherwise, you can just stay in your room.
Like him, the extravagant eating habits and activities of his children cost hundreds of thousands of low magic crystals, which amounted to hundreds of millions of GP.
Fortunately, he was rich, as the monthly Gold Credits he can covert to the system reached more than a billion GP.
"Alright, we still have many things to do," Maximus said as they approached the city\'s gate.
...
In the registration room:
"Just place your mana and spirit signature here," the steward said.
His wives and children were familiar with this process since their kingdom tokens also functioned similarly.
One by one, they registered.
Just as they were about to leave:
"Excuse me, if you have contracted pets, they also need to be registered," the steward said, noticing that the kids carried beast pet rings.
"Come out, Monkey," Max said as he summoned the monkey from his beast pet ring.
His other children also brought out their pets and completed the registration process.
...
After completing the registration process, Maximus arrived at the rented manor of his fake teacher.
Speaking of this, the house had almost become a waste, as he had only lived in it for a few days.
"Where are we?" Maximus asked.
"Is this your teacher\'s house?" one of his wives inquired.
"Yes," Maximus replied, secretly using his fake teacher\'s personal token to open the manor formation.
"Come in," a voice from the void said.
Of course, it was Maximus faking it.
As they entered, a fairyland-like manor came into view.
The abundance of mana caused the flowers and plants to flourish and created this picturesque scene.
"Come in, meet me alone," The voice from the void spoke again.
"Yes, teacher," Maximus slightly bowed, maintaining his expression even though he was merely talking to himself.
"I need to speak with the teacher for a while. Just relax here," Maximus told his family as he walked towards the center of the manor.
...
In the center of the manor, he manipulated the formation to isolate any form of investigation.
Then he brought out the Puppet clone that he had been eyeing before coming here.
[Guardian Puppet: A Tier 6 guardian puppet made using hybrid mechanics and alchemy technology, powered by natural mana and spirit crystals. It possesses perfect fighting and management skills. Price: 36 Billion]
After summoning the puppet, he changed its appearance to match that of his fake teacher.
Next, he took out the upgraded Grimmor Mask, which was already at Tier 6.
The purpose, of course, was for a perfect disguise.
Although the puppet\'s appearance was impeccable, it lacked the essence of mana and spirit.
However, the Grimmor Mask, a tiered-down law artifact, could perfectly imitate and utilize mana and spirit up to Tier 6.
With the perfect camouflage, he set various instructions within the puppet\'s runic program.
Fortunately, he was quite proficient in AI and Runes, so it was relatively easy.
The puppet also had its own AI, so he only needed to set its specific personality and tasks.
...
After a while, Maximus emerged from the manor accompanied by an old man.
"So these are your wives. You still have a keen eye as a student," the old man, his fake teacher, praised without a trace.
"Of course! Who do you think am I?" Maximus bragged.
"By the way, this is my teacher, Edward Williams, a Tier 5 mystic mage and a Tier 5 Potioneering Alchemist."
"It is our honor to meet our husband\'s esteemed teacher," his wives respectfully replied.
"Hahaha, indeed, you all possess a fairy spirit, as my student mentioned," Old Edward said, stroking his beard.
"Teacher, allow me to introduce them to you..."
After introducing his wives one by one, the old man turned his attention to his children, who were playing with their beast pets in the garden.
"What adorable children! Say hi to Grandpa," Edward said, waving to the children.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Max, who was playing with the monkey, ran up to Edward, hugged him tightly, and playfully tugged at his beard.
This almost gave his wives a heart attack.
Although it was Husband\'s teacher, who knew if he had a bad temper.
"Hey, don\'t pull my lovely beard, grandson," Edward playfully scolded, not taking things seriously.
This brought a sigh of relief to Maximus\'s wives.
Edward was a puppet faithfully following Maximus\'s orders, so of course, such a thing would not happen.
At most, when his children misbehaved, Edward would teach them a lesson or two, but he would never harm or put them in danger.
"Hi, Beard Grandpa! How are you?" Layla said, looking at the amicable grandpa.
"What a polite young lady. I\'m doing alright," Edward said, patting Layla\'s head.
"Really? I\'m a polite and beautiful lady?" Layla\'s eyes lit up as she slowly twirled around as if showing off.
In their family, they always called her a naughty or playful girl.
Hearing someone refer to her as a polite lady made her happy.
"Yes, yes," Edward nodded in agreement.
"What about you?" Edward asked, turning to Maximus\'s other children.
"I\'m Liam. Nice to meet you, Grandpa Edward."
"I\'m Lily. Nice to meet you, Grandpa Edward."
Both of them slightly bowed, displaying noble manners.
Although their siblings had acted rudely earlier, as the eldest, they needed to show proper etiquette in front of outsiders.
"Don\'t be too polite," Edward waved his hand dismissively.
Then Maximus\'s other children greeted Edward one by one and returned to playing.
...
As his children were occupied with thier activities, Edward invited them inside the manor.
"When do you plan to go to the Arcane continent?" Edward asked as they took their seats.
"We need to depart as soon as possible, preferably tomorrow," Maximus replied.
The registration was only half a month away, so they were pressed for time.
"In that case, I will arrange for fast transportation with the EGCC. It\'s also a good opportunity to visit my shop in Silverleaf Floating City," Edward suggested after some thought.
"Oh? I heard it was still under construction months ago. How is it now?" Maximus inquired.
Maximus wasn\'t aware when the shop had been completed, as he had been occupied with other matters upon his return to the cursed continent.
"It was finished a month ago," Edward replied.
After Maximus programmed the puppet with his identity and task, it automatically scanned for any omissions and followed up with necessary actions, making everything organized.
Earlier, Edward scanned his token for any messages and notifications and noticed this part of the information.
Upon learning that his master Maximus was heading to the Origin Domain, through a series of processing, it established the task that would be most beneficial to the host.
In Silverleaf Floating City, there was the only teleportation array that could directly reach the Origin Domain.
By staying in the city, he could respond to the host\'s call anytime, anywhere.
