"Hmm… no port huh… I guess it's only possible after upgrading it to a city."

Then, he glanced at the time, "72 hours aren't up yet. I have time to deliver the present. Should I have known before, I would have stayed a few more days at Hailey City. Anyway, let's get moving…"

Wil proceeds to walk towards the Poseidon temple with a cage in his hand. Since the town was built in this region, the system automatically assigned the religion.

Either way, Wil doesn't care since he has no use for it. He didn't add funds or decided on migration. He just walked into the temple and turned left.

A huge seal was placed on the floor.

Teleportation formation

Description: used to teleport anywhere.

As he clicked on the name, the settings appeared on the holographic screen before him.

A world map appeared before him. Hundreds of points are spotted on the map but everything is grey except for 31 teleportation points, which are from nine cities and the 19 towns of the Llyne kingdom.

Except for the teleportation point that's located in the Scarlet district of the Deloris town, Wil blocked the remaining points. To take more precautions, he set the outgoing teleportation fee to 1000 gold coins.

He teleported to the Deloris town and Scarlet town earned 1000 gold coins from this. Since there was no tax, the entire amount was transferred to the town's treasury. So, not a single dime has been wasted.

As soon as he teleported to the Deloris town, he set the same price of 1000 gold coins to teleport to Scarlet town so that no one dares to teleport to his town as those who use the teleportation formation will see the possibility of teleporting somewhere outside of Llyne kingdom.

In case someone uses it for the sense of their curiosity, Wil made sure that either they have to pay a large amount to return or get stuck there.

After all, only Wil can use wings without spending any mana.

Unless there's a rich brat who can afford to do so, there's practically no possibility of someone teleport to his island. And even if such a fool exists, Wil would still make a profit.

Setting everything, he quickly used his Prince Medallion and teleported to the wild zone.

He opened the guild channel and saw there are hardly over 75 members in the guild with the remaining 450 or so members transferred to Scarlet A and over 2500 were placed in Scarlet-B.

Time Traveler: I have a task. Anyone is willing?

As soon as he typed in the guild channel, everyone greeted instantly, pausing their works.

"Hello, Young master." "Greetings, Young Master." "What should I do, Young Master?" Etc…

The thirty-six newbies were taken aback by their behavior.

Normally, these Elites would behave like bullies in the region. They threaten the people to clear the area, use violence at the first sight of rejection.

Aster can't do anything about it since it's their nature and Wil doesn't care as long as they behave before him.

He wouldn't stop them but he wouldn't also go on his way to help them if they were in trouble since they are his employees, not friends.

But, now, looking at these bullies suddenly flattering their boss, these new Elites wondered whether they are probably doing it out of respect towards their guild leader because he's too strong.

Their admiration towards Wil grew a bit who tamed these guys, although Wil doesn't have the slightest idea about what others think of him.

Looking at the series of messages, Wil sent a message.

Time Traveler: It's just a simple errand. Who is in the wild zone, right now?

Followed by ten more replies, Wil selected one of them to meet him.

He didn't wait long before a guild member appeared before him. 

Wil was stunned as soon as he saw the figure. It was someone who he knew very well. 

If Bran is considered the best swordsman, then this guy is known as the best gunner.

His mind became blank for a second. 'Sky Runner. One of the ten legend class users.'

"Hello, boss. I'm Louis Knight." He introduced himself, first.

Wil was taken aback by his introduction and inspected his name.

Louis Knight

Guild: Scarlet-A

Level: 185

HP: 4,342,566

He thought, 'it is Louis knight? Not Sky Runner?'

Wil glanced at him once again and thought, 'No, it's no mistake. This fellow is Sky Runner. Did he change his in-game name with that voucher from events?'

"Umm… Boss…" Feeling Wil's gaze on him, Louis felt troubled. He wondered whether he was exposed. Since he got a quest to acquire the tome, there's a chance that this guild leader might also get a quest to snatch equipment from him.

He didn't know that Wil is already an Elementalist, and have no use of the equipment.

Wil came out of his thoughts, "Ah! Yes. So, you are Louis Knight?"

"Yes." Louis nodded. "I'm from A-division. I was training with Red Dragon. I volunteered for the mission."

Then his gaze fell on the cage in Wil's hands.

Beast suppressing cage

Grade: Heroic

Description: A suppressing cage that can hold captive Heroic grade beats or below.

Panda cub, Smiley

Grade: Heroic

Level: 100

HP: 12 million

Description: A cub of King Panda, Plumpy.

'A panda?' Louis was indeed taken aback to see this rare creature, a protected species of the Eastern Continent.

Wil handed the cage to Louis and said, "Take this and deliver it to Mia. She's in the Scarlet-B division. The gift should be anonymous. Can you do it?"

Louis nodded and took the cage with a cute panda cub sitting inside of it. Maybe, it's because it thought Louis was weak. It didn't feel terrified any longer.

"Do you want me to pass a message along with it?" Louis asked Wil as he wishes to know on what occasion the gift is being presented.

Wil replied, "Give her birthday wishes."

Hearing Wil's reply made him wonder whether this boss taken a liking to a lady and attempting to woo her but is too shy to give it directly.

The truth is miles away from it though.

Just as he turned around to walk away to fulfill the mission, Wil suddenly called out to him. "Wait a second."

"Yes?"

"Consider this as your reward." Wil then took out an Epic grade missile launcher from his inventory.

Louis' eyeballs almost popped out of his eyes, looking at such a generous for a simple errand.

Nekron's launcher

Grade: Epic

Level: 170

Class: Gunner

Attack: 264,343

Critical rate: 35%

Louis quickly came to the conclusion that this girl must be special to the guild leader.

He felt excited that he might get closer to Wil and earn his trust if he can do errands like these and get better equipment in return. As long as he can get the tome from Wil, Louis is willing to be an errand boy forever.

"Thank you, Guild Leader." After thanking him, Louis left for Eldershore city where B-division has their Guild HQ.

Meanwhile, Wil returned to Scarlet town and the first thing he did is to fly to the Astaria island, leaving the citizens and the officials in a wonder, whether they will be migrating to the new town or not.

But without orders from Wil, they can't help but wait while General Remont deployed some of the guards to stand outside of the empty town.

After an hour of flying to the east, Wil reached the island of Astaria.

He went to the black market to visit the store of that Ascended where Hugo is staying until the revival.

"Prince Llyne. You are here just as I had visioned…" The shopkeeper greeted with a smile.

"Do you know why I am here?" Wil asked him.

"Sadly, no." Owler shook his head in response, "But, I don't think you are here for a chat, either. Is it to talk about the Kingdom? I foresaw it's going to rise soon… His Majesty is currently sleeping. I'll go and wake him up." Owler said to him as he turned around.

"No, I came to see you," Wil replied with a smile. He bowed and cupped the fists, "I wish to be your disciple."

"Eh?"
