Chapter 717
"Another Noble Demonic Being??" I reply as the slope of the wyvern's back makes it easy for Ava and me to slide down, coming to a thud on the slanted rocky ground beside the large monster.
It replies while looking up at the bright white light.
"That's right. The guardian of the Exile Zones comes from a Noble Grade World. No one but the Noble Demons can control it... Perfect to keep Lords that indulge in illegal business in line down here."
I consider its words and compare them to the knowledge I already have. As far as the Goblin King was aware, 2nd and 1st Class Lords rule the business world in the Citadel Above.
On top of that, certain races live longer and have far higher innate talent and strength. Long-lasting power in the Upper Realm leads to greater family backing as well, which can lead to the inheritance of higher-grade worlds to stack the buffs within one's avatar.
For the average Lords, having a few 3rd Class worlds is enough for most of the Citadel to show respect. However, once a Lord steps into the limelight of having even one 2nd Class world, the true pinnacle of power becomes far clearer.
The Ogres, High Orcs, and Berserker Giants are the highest private holders of 2nd and 1st Class worlds in the Citadel, their leaders being the only ones allowed to hold the 1st Class worlds.
The Goblin King's memories contain no knowledge of Noble Grade worlds ever being traded on any market. However, whispers of the Demon Citadel Lord coming from a Noble world did pass by whenever its subordinates roamed the streets.
My memories of Drako Vermillion coming from a Noble Grade world are quite foggy. It was only a fledgling demon for a few short years before it was taken from that hellscape. However, if this Wyvern says the Demonic Cyclops Guardian atop this peak comes from a Noble World, it must be a similar strength as Noble Demons...
