"Madness of Apostasy, yeah... I remember it very well. Those were really troubled times when Madman, sitting on the throne, decided to ascend to Sequence 0.

  It was somewhat ironic that in the end, the life-work of the conqueror was undone by one of his unruly descendants when the Loen Kingdom, Feysac Empire, and the Irondrown Republic rose in its pce. To everyone, it was clear that a unified Westeros was not possible, and many in the world sighed in relief greatly.

  The High Kingdom of Westeros was something that was troubling the most within the Known World of Faer?n.

  Especially the City States in the Essos, which were looking at the High Kingdom of Westeros with unease, and the Empire of Noxus that, despite its blood ties with the High Kingdom, saw the High Kingdom as a serious competitor and danger to their hegemony on the global scale.

  So when we received the news about the state of things, how everyone perished, and how the nation broke apart, it was a happy occasion. Even though my wife seemed very sad about what happened to the line of her siblings."

  "Undead, you say? Hmm... the strongest ones are really worth the prize to sy."

  Gotrik Gurnisson had some experiences with the Undeads like most of the Syers had, because when they were fighting against the Skaveblihgt, some of the Shamans who were worshipping their dark Gods, their Shamans often raised the dead as the Undeads.

  Not to mention, there was a constant threat of the Undead Scourge from the Lands of the Always Winter in the continent of the Westeros. Any respective Syer would learn some things here and there about the Undead and how to deal with them.

  While most of the Undead were nothing more than just mindless drones that were nothing more than just that, some of them were really powerful and dangerous. Especially the Higher Undeads and, who command the Lesser Undeads and also have high combat prowess.

  "Yes, there is a very high chance of the appearance of the Higher Undeads, which should be pretty powerful."

  While having a red priestess on his side was rather good and so on, he wouldn't put everything in one basket, as he decided to diversify the situation a bit by obtaining a member of the Syer Cult for the expedition.

  If he had enough time, he would have gone to the Sve Market of the Vontis to buy some powerful sves for his needs. Unforutenly, that would take a long time because this was something that he had been preparing for some time already, and he still needed some finances to buy sves.

  Beyonder Sves were rather pricy in the end, and he needed those for his needs as the core of the Mercenary Organization that he wanted to establish, which in turn would be used to gather more resources and invest them back into the growth of the already mentioned Mercenary Organization.

  "Then that's good. When yar going out from the Vontis?"

  As the dwarven Syer agreed to his proposal, Valkorion sighed in relief internally because he was especially gd that he managed to convince the dwarven Syer to join them in their expedition to the Orage Shore.

  That was already a good one.

  "In a few days, there are still some things that I need to take care of, afterwards we are free to go."

  As Valkorion stated, he needed some more days to drink the Sequence 6 Beast Knight Potion to advance to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight. Afterward, he would need one or two days to acclimate to his strength, and only then would they be free to go.

  "As you say, ddie. I am staying in the Royal Dragon's Inn."

  The Royal Dragon Inn was a rather luxurious Inn located in the center of the Old City that was typically visited by the dignitaries and the rich that visited Vontis. They would typically stay within the Royal Dragon Inn as only that would befit the status of the ultra-rich and very powerful.

  "Of course. I will be there once I finish my matters."

  Valkorion stated that he then prepared to leave towards the carriage wagon that served as their main means of transportation, along with the main home, during the journey. When he arrived at the carriage wagon, he noticed that the red priestess was long gone, probably gone to do her things.

  Not like he cared to meddle into her personal matters because those were her things. At maximum, he would ask her when she returned back. Right now, he had an entire carriage wagon for himself as he prepared to advance to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight.

  Fortunately enough, these Low-Sequences didn't require any kind of Advancement Ritual or anything because the Advancement Rituals were only for the higher Sequences.

  He took out the Potion for the Sequence 6 Beast Knight and then just drank the entire content of the Potion Bottle in one go.

  Suddenly, he started feeling a bit weird before feeling a surge of power through his entire body several times; every time that the surge went through his body, it hurt a bit until the pain was more and more.

  But Valkorion gritted his teeth as he withstood the waves of pain until they disappeared entirely, and he felt far stronger than before, albeit he was very tired right now. Still, initially, he knew what abilities he had gained from the Sequence 6 Beyonder Potion of the Beast Knights and from advancing to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight.

  1st - Beast Familiar = The Beast Knight, is able to tame, domesticate, and utilize living animals, beasts, and Extraordinary Creatures as your Battle Companions. The strength of the Beast Knight greatly depends on the strength of the Familiar contracted.

  2nd - Animal Sense = The Beast Knight can communicate with Animals, Beasts, and Extraordinary Creatures of the Beast-Type. He can also share their senses with them, read their emotions and intentions.

  3rd - Supernatural Resistance = Their body's superb Physique and defensive capabilities can reduce the negative effects of certain supernatural powers.

  He obtained three abilities from advancing to the Sequence 6 Beast Knight while at the same time, both his Physical strength and other Physical Attributes were greatly enhanced. At the same time, another thing that was being enhanced, at least a bit, was his Spirituality, which wasn't previously enhanced even a bit.

  The Beast Familiar ability was pretty awesome in his opinion, but also very tricky. It all depended on his own strength and capabilities to make a contract with powerful Familiars, or else, it would be totally wasted ability.

  Say, if he contracted some average anime like common dog or whatever, then he could better kill himself for wasting his potential. At the same time, contracting anything that was very powerful would also require him to be very powerful.

  Due to that, he decided to contract some Drake or Firendwyrm.

  Those had very good potential, and in adulthood, they could sometimes rival even Dragons.

  For sure, they could beat and kill Wyverns without many problems, but with these Familiars, there was another problem, and it was the fact that he needed to contact them either when they were born or obtain an egg.

  And that would be pricy.
