Sovereign of the Firmaments

'Looks like I need to enter this dungeon to get those spells.'

On his way back to the Raindrop manor, Lucas muttered to himself as he thought of the dungeon.

'Even though I didn't know the reason for the limit for entering the dungeon, I am very sure this is my opportunity. If I can increase my strength to a high-level squire, then my survival chances will be increased even more.'

'Also, there is this magic recovery technique and a new spell. As long as I master them and adding to my skills from the past life, no one below lesser knight or lesser mage could kill me.'

Lucas felt it was the godsent opportunity for him and decided to increase his strength to the high-level squire and at the same time, learn the magic power recovery technique and the new basic earth spell.

Actually, Lucas fell in love with spells after learning the 'Thunder bullet'. Even though it was time-consuming to cast the spell, the damage was great. So, he wanted to learn more spells as he eyed the three intermediate spells and the advanced spell.

'I guess it is not bad to earn 210 gold coins in a single day.'

Next, Lucas thought about the gold coins he got from selling the spirit beast carcasses are not bad as he urged his horse to gallop towards the Raindrop manor and behind him, Porter was keeping an eye on his surroundings as he followed Lucas.

The prices for the rank 1 spirit beasts were a single gold coin and for the rank 2 spirit beasts, it was 10 gold coins.

As for the rank 3 iron-headed ant's corpse, it was a whopping 100 gold coins.

Most of the corpses were still intact as he mostly killed them in a single stab except for the rank 3 spirit beast whose head and the body was separated.

But nevertheless, Manager Rean gave the standard prices for all the spirit beasts giving him a total of 210 gold coins.

…..

In the Raindrop manor,

After reaching the manor, Lucas freshened up before meeting his little brother Evan.

"Big brother, did you decide on what business our family will be doing in this town?"

Evan asked with a curious look on his face as he asked his brother.

For a family, either it is small or big, they need a good source of income to develop their family.

"Currently, it is not a good time to enter into any business because all the top families in the town had good foundations in their business. So, until we find an opportunity, let's send Bernard and Porter on hunting trips on alternate days."

With the 'Myriad primordial forest', Lucas didn't worry about living frugally; however, at the same time, the gold coins earned from killing rank 3 spirit beasts would be not enough for the development of their family, not to mention, the talent assessment of Evan is coming.

He needs some good resources before the talent assessment and once his talent is found out, it requires another ton of resources.

So, Lucas had to find an alternative source of income.

"Okay, big brother."

Unlike Lucas, Evan didn't know much about the businesses. So, he didn't stress about it because his big brother and Grandpa Bernard knew what they were doing.

"Let's have dinner after I talk about something with the old man."

After talking a few more things with his little brother, Lucas went to meet the old man to ask about the young squires' training.

"I guess, they are determined while training because of your promise."

The old man replied with a slight smile on his face as he continued, "Family head, are you sure about making them the members of the Hellmore family?"

"What? Do you not want to do that?"

Lucas frowned as he asked the old man Bernard.

"No no no."

Seeing the frown on Lucas' face, the old man hurriedly shook his head as he continued, "You have changed a lot since the old family head was gone. In the past, you used to keep slaves a few meters away; however, now, you even promised to make a slave a family member."

While saying these words, the old man's eyes turned misty and muttered, 'If the family head was here, he would have been very proud of you young master.'

Actually, Bernard was also a slave that was bought by Lucas' father and when he saved his father's life, Aldrich Hellmore directly gave the old man a name and the status of the Hellmore family member.

So, whenever he thought about Lucas' idea, Bernard thought of his previous master, Aldrich Hellmore.

"I have a task for you."

Lucas didn't comment anything on Bernard's words as he ordered Bernard, "For the next two days, you will enter the Baron grounds of the Myriad primordial forest and hunt for rank 2 and rank 3 spirit beasts."

"Yes, family head."

Bernard knew how many resources a developing family needed. So, he was even ready to enter the Viscont grounds of the forest for the sake of the family.

"Remember, do not enter the Viscount grounds and only hunt for a rank 3 spirit beasts or below."

Lucas warned Bernard strictly to hunt in the Baron grounds as he could guess how dangerous the Viscount grounds were.

In this firmament, Bernard was the only one who could protect him and his little brother until he increased his strength. So, until then, he didn't want Bernard to take unnecessary risks.

"I will keep that in mind, family head."

Bernard nodded his head as he kept Lucas' orders in his mind.

"Also, take these 1000 gold coins and buy a good pair of rank 3 short swords from the adventurer guild's shop. Don't forget to mention Manager Rean's name and the shopkeeper will not dare to fool you."

Soon, he gave a few more orders before going back to have dinner with his little brother.

"Herbert, these 100 gold coins are for groceries and other charges. If they are finished, you can always come to look for me."

After having a simple dinner with his little brother and the old man, Lucas gave some gold coins for the house butler to take care of the household things.

"Sure, master."

The old man Herbert bowed deeply as he replied to Lucas.

"Okay, you can have your dinner now."

After saying that, Lucas and Evan left for their rooms.

As Evan was still young, he slept early whereas Lucas rested for some time, before entering the secret training room.

'It's time to learn the Magic recovery technique.'

Lucas was waiting to learn this from the afternoon and he didn't waste any time before taking out a jade leaf from his inventory.
