?

"This space ring has all the information I have on the three champions, and hunting them or not would be your choice."

"But if you do decide to hunt them, then for every champion's life, the White Flame Empire would owe you one unconditional favor." Emperor Melvin said with a smile.

'Zero is being generous with me,' Alex thought, looking at the quest window and the familiar rewards.

"Do you know how someone can join the demonic Cult?" Alex asked because he had more reason to join the demonic cult after knowing it had true demons.

"You need to be in some influential position and have a lot of strength, and some demon slave scum would approach you to join their cult."

"This is the easy way, but it fails more often than it works, while the sure way to get approached into joining the cult is through the Gladiator Arena while also having some level of influence," Melvin said with a smile, happy with Alex's interest in the demonic cult.

'The Gladiator Arena brings back some good and bad memories, but it was overall a good place to earn some quick money, and with its underground system, I can see how the cult would be connected to it.' Alex thought, remembering some old life memories.

"I like the Human Continent, so I will do my best to save it but don't expect any result any time soon," Alex said with a smile.

"Domain Ruler, I appreciate your help."

"If you plan to join the Demonic cult, know that each member must take a Blood Oath to serve the cult to the best of their ability, so betrayal is impossible for any common man."

"This space ring has twelve Law Isolation Potions, and when used, allow an individual to hide from the worldly laws, which means any oath he takes is insignificant," Melvin said, placing a space ring on the table.

'This is a nice gift.' Alex thought, happy to have some unique quality potions.

Alex knew about the Law Isolation Potions, and even though they were very rare and expensive, he could still buy them from the Alchemist guild with his guild member Rank.

"It was a pleasure meeting you, but It's about time I leave," Alex said as he stood up, putting the space ring in his inventory.

"It was my pleasure to host you, and if you ever need anything done, please don't be shy to contact me," Melvin said, raising his cup of tea.

'if you are being generous, it would be rude to turn it down.' Alex thought with an evil smirk.

"I might need a few of your flying Warships and some army regiments in the near future to make a statement against some of my fellow Immortal Adventurers," Alex said after thinking for a moment.

Alex didn't plan to take favor from the Emperor in the coming War as he already had everything planned on how he would show his organization's strength, but if he was in a very tough situation, he wanted to have a backup.

"If it's just that, then you just need to accept the small gift I gave you last time," Melvin replied with a grin.

'I didn't check the space ring because I am certain he gifted me some kind of guest Noble badge, which is not very useful as I could handle the vast majority of my situation with my Legend Authority.' Alex thought.

'I will get the answer after I check the space ring,' Alex thought.

Alex stood in silence for a moment and then felt a hand on his shoulder, and the next thing he knew, he was standing in a familiar room.

'Let's check what Emperor gave me.' Alex thought as he took the space ring out from his inventory.

Alex checked the ring, and just as he believed, it had a badge in the shape of a white flame that he recognized as the royal symbol.

'This is quite unexpected.' Alex thought, looking at the name of the badge.

-----------------

Name: Honorary Archduke Badge

[The Badge Holder doesn't need to complete any mandatory Noble responsibilities.]

-----------------

'What the hell was Emperor Melvin thinking to give me something of such value.' Alex thought, not knowing how to feel after reading the badge's description.

"This is a smart decision by the Human Emperor as this gives you no reason to use your Ruler Authority if you want something done in the territory of the Human Empire." Lady Margaret said, appearing next to Alex.

"The Archduke status also connects you with the Empire, and the more you use it, the more in debt you are to the Empire, even though you do not need to repay it."

"But as a Ruler, will you not repay it in some form?" Lady Margaret said with a smile.

"What do you think the Emperor would want from me." Alex thought having few guess what the answer could be.

"The entry into the Malefis Domain."

"The value of the Malefis Domain is too great for any Elemental Ruler, and now that the Emperor knows he could enter the domain, he would do all he could to gain it." Lady Margaret replied with certainty, which confused Alex.

"The reason why every Elemental Ruler wants to enter the Malefis Domain is because of the rich elemental Law energy environment, which helps individuals comprehend the mysteries of their elemental laws much faster than normal." Lady Margaret said, seeing Alex's confusion.

'I knew that the Domain was special, but I didn't think it would have such value to Elemental Rulers.' Alex thought.

"The first time we met the Human Emperor, he said he couldn't enter the Domain because of the barrier," Alex asked, remembering the question he wanted to ask but forgot.

"After an unfortunate incident that occurred a few decades ago, the entry and exit into the Domain were closed, and without the permission of one of the Guardians, not even a peak Elemental Ruler could enter or Exit the Domain." Lady Margaret said.

'The authority of Archduke would be tremendously helpful, but it would also give me a lot of unwanted attention.' Alex thought, placing the badge into his inventory, deciding not to use it for the time being.
