Two days had passed since Gerald, Natasha, and Rainer had a meeting with Lux and Alexander in Barbatos Academy.
After resting for a night, the three returned to Wildgarde Stronghold and had a high-level meeting with the other Guardians.
The agenda of their meeting was on what they must do in order to maximize the benefits they could reap once the Hidden Domain opened again next year.
After seeing the rewards, and resources that the conquerors managed to bring back home after their adventure, the rulers of the various kingdoms was now very eager to explore the secrets of the Domain of the Fallen, as well as conquer the Sacred Dungeon.
Since Lux, Cai, Keane, Xander, Einar, and Vall, were the only people who could access the Sacred Dungeon at any point in time, the slots in their possession were very valuable.
All of these teenagers had managed to gain a lot after they sold their slots to both Skystead Alliance and Xynnar War Pact.
