Dark Magus Returns
chapter-762

In the world of Alterian, Idore and his Noble Guild had many bases around the cities in various countries around the world.

There was even a building for the Grand Magus where all five would meet up.

It was a building to be used as they wished, built with funds donated by various countries.

It was also a place where leaders would gather with the Grand Magus as mediators in the whole thing.

A city named Ion City was the city where the main base of the Noble Guild was located, and there were a number of buildings owned by the guild located in the city.

There was a crafting shop, where items would be brought in and new enchantments tested again and again until a product was made that could be sold to the general public.

Then there was the guild base itself, more like a miniature academy taking up a vast amount of land in the city.

High walls stationed on the outside, a magic barrier seemingly always on, and a place where the mages of the guild could continue to do their research into their spells and more, gaining more strength day by day.

Even with this, there were two more large buildings in the city that were well known for being owned by the Noble Guild.

In the center was a grand skyscraper with a golden "I" on the outside of the building.

With all of the Grand Magus and their guilds, they had become more ingrained into society and had become more of a business.

TV appearances, TV shows, movies, merchandise, and more were all sold under the Grand Magus branding.

There were multiple teams for these top guilds like that of the Noble Guild, and on each floor of the skyscraper, a team existed for multiple avenues, and it was where it was stated Idore himself would spend most of his time.

Then finally, there was the last building. It wasn't directly in the city itself; it was built on the outskirts of the city, not really close to anything else.

It used to be an old airport that was decommissioned and Idore had bought it. Changes had been made to the inside, making it more hollow and getting rid of all the glass.

When people drove past, they could see nothing, and it was the same for anything flying above.

Which was why people could only guess what was there, and their best guess was a warehouse used to store the items they were making.

Currently, at the abandoned warehouse, there was a large number of guild members inside. Members of the Noble Guild, nearly all wearing special uniforms that were only given to certain members. Specially enchanted robes with the golden letter "I" on top of their heads. Large groups were in areas writing a number of circles down. Large displays with different magical formations were seen on the screen, some of them in red, others in green.

This was Idore's special facility, for trying to find dimensions to hunt in. All for the sake of searching for crystals as well as special artifacts.

Teams were working day and night, using magic to try and open portals to other dimensions. In the facility, some dimensions had already been discovered. Teams were sent out to deal with beasts and bring back items.

Other dimensions had no beasts at all, but there was a high chance to find artifacts to bring back.

At times, some artifacts' powers could even be replicated, so they were sent to another team to try and create a similar enchantment to their items with them.

The current facility was the core of the Noble Guild and Idore's strength, and the only people that were able to step into the facility were the most trusted in the guild.

They were to never speak of what happened in the portals to the rest of the members, and the mages were practically off the grid and weren't exactly part of the guild.

However, all of them were compensated for their work very generously.

In one area of the facility, down an airport aisle where several numbers would be used for

gates where the airplanes would appear, at gate 77, a portal had opened up.

The mages turned as it was unexpected.

"Didn't they just head in a while ago? It's too early for them to come back."

"Right."

The two mages said.

Out from the portal, two mages came diving in and slid across the ground. They quickly turned their heads to look at the portal, and when they saw it closing up, there was relief on their faces.

"Why have only two of you returned? Where are the rest? Where is Commander Jefferson?" the mage asked.

"Commander Jefferson, Commander Jefferson, that's right! I need to report something fast!" the mage said as he grabbed onto the other's robe.

The urgent news was delivered extremely quickly as it was an uncommon thing to happen.

The news continued until it reached the place known as Golden Tower, where Idore was currently at.

At the very top floor, he was sitting on his sofa, glass panes staring out at the view of the city.

"That's two times now, where the mages have discovered others in the dimensions. At times we have found strays that they have managed to deal with, but for someone to take out an

entire team..."

"Is it the same as last time, the same group of people they met last time? It's quite possible." Idore was twiddling his fingers, playing with a golden coin in his hand.

"This situation, it would be good to put a pin in it while we can. I can't have several commanders losing their lives."

Idore then pulled out a small circular device from his pocket and placed it on the table.

It started to vibrate, and eventually, a hologram appeared in front of him. A handsome, middle-aged man, with next to no imperfections on his face.

It was one of the most well-known Grand Magus, the poster boy of the mages, Enaxx.

"Something has come up, and I have an important job for you, something that only us, the Grand Magus, can deal with."
