Chapter 132 - The Emergence of a Four-Elemental Saint (1/2)
Six people climbed down their savage beasts. They glanced at the building in front of them which gave off a feeling of power.
Cale frowned while looking at the Savage Horned Knights and Ember.
”Asteria, is there any way for you to store them? It will be troublesome to leave them outside.” Cale spoke inside his head.
”Yes, of course. Do you want me to teleport them inside the Gravity Training Environment? I can also change the place to make it look like a forest.” Asteria spoke calmly, but Cale felt a hint of haughtiness in that voice.
”Yes, please.” The moment the words came out of Cale's mouth, bright rays of light enveloped the savage beasts before they vanished. Cale's subordinates merely furrowed their brows for a brief moment before following Cale who already stepped inside the Mercenary Guild branch.
Cale scrutinized the interior of the building. There were a few people going in and out, and all of them emitted strong auras.
To become a mercenary, one should at least be at the Emperor-Class level. You will then be promoted as a Wood-Rank mercenary after being thoroughly checked by the guild.
The moment Cale's group came inside, all the mercenaries' chattering immediately ceased. They glanced at the six individuals draped in long black robes. They looked mysterious, but there were a lot of strong mercenaries inside.
A group of Platinum-Rank mercenaries glanced at each other with cold smiles on their faces. There were about eight of them, and everyone from their group was also Saints.
”Oh, look! We have a group of shy newbies here, covering their faces and all.” A bald and boorish man with thick curly beard slammed his hands on the table while wearing a mocking smile on his face. His companions laughed loudly at his words while looking at Cale's group in disdain.
Loud laughter resounded inside the guild's dining area. They knew that group of boorish and rough men. All eight of them were Saint-Class level fighters and also Platinum-Rank mercenaries. Their strength was known by everyone, and it could even be said that they were close to the low-level Adamantine-Rank mercenaries in terms of strength.
Brogen clenched his massive fists tightly while glaring solemnly at the bald man. He unconsciously released his powerful aura which made the bald man feel a chill that ran down his spine. He then smirked coldly before looking at Brogen's massive silhouette.
”Interesting...” He muttered to himself.
Cale ignored them and continued walking towards the front desk. Cale smiled faintly at the beautiful lady who was assigned to the front desk.
The beautiful lady was dumbstruck at Cale's charming smile. Her face turned crimson red, but she still flashed a professional but shy smile at Cale.
”Hello, sir! My name is Ria. How can I help you?”
Cale glanced briefly at her face, before taking out the recommendation letter that Alucard wrote. He then handed it to Ria who received it with a surprised look. She read the letter slowly, and her face turned serious every second.
”A recommendation letter was personally written by sire Alucard?” Ria unconsciously spoke in a loud voice. She realized her mistake so she hurriedly covered her small mouth with her hands. But her gaze towards Cale and his group turned more respectful. It was after all a recommendation letter from the eleventh Adamantine-Rank mercenary.
Ria's voice was actually not that loud, but it was enough for the high-level mercenaries inside the guild to hear. They then frowned while looking solemnly at Cale's group. Who would have thought that the group that they had mocked earlier was actually recommended by one of the Adamantine-Rank mercenaries?
”Sires, we still need to check your strength levels before I can give you your identity tokens.” Ria took out a fist-sized ball of glass and placed it in front of Cale.
”Place your right hand on the ball and release your origin or elemental essence,” Ria spoke seriously while glancing at Cale.
”Cale, that is a Spirit Crystal. It can detect your strength level and it will also show what kind of elements you are able to wield. Control your elemental essence properly if you want to hide your true strength.” Asteria spoke calmly inside Cale's head, but he was surprised about what she said.
Cale then put his right hand on the ball while releasing his elemental essence. The moment he released his elemental essence, the ball flashed four colors which blinded Ria.
”Initial stage of the Saint-Class level. Four elemental Saint...” Ria speechlessly glanced at Cale while covering her tiny mouth. Such a talented person was actually standing in front of her. A legendary four-elemental Saint!
All the mercenaries who heard her stood up in alarm. Their eyes went wide as if it was about to pop out of their sockets. Being a four elemental Saint means extreme potential. And in their Celestial Sword Empire, only the emperor and the second prince were known to have four elements!
'Oh shit! Are four elements really that much? I should have only shown them two or three...” Cale was surprised at everyone's reaction. He did not know that a four-elemental Saint was actually rare on Shura. What would their reaction be if they knew that Cale had ten elements in total? That would be quite interesting!
”Sir, please tell me your age and name,” Ria spoke excitedly. Her eyes twinkled like stars as she glanced at Cale.
