" I've seen your recent battlefield achievements, it's good, when you become a tier6 god, I will permit you to stay for the night in this palace, but forgive me for today my hospitality for you ends here " Dragoon said as after Max digested the secret stat booster fruit completely, Dragoon asked him to leave the palace.
" Father- " Mira wanted to protest regarding this decision, however, her voice faltered when she looked into the stern eyes of her father.
" He may kill God's Miracle, but he's weak. He has a long way to go before becoming respectable enough for me to let him spend a night and treat him as a guest of honour.
I'm the dragon monarch, I need to be conservative with our customs, " Dragoon said in a fatherly tone as he educated his child.
To spend a night in a dragon's home was the ultimate form of honour.
A dragon only let extremely esteemed guests stay the night, and although Max had saved Mira's life today, he still did not qualify to become the esteemed guest of the royal palace.
As a monarch, Dragoon had to respect the customs more than anyone else and besides that he was also not keen on letting her infatuated daughter stay around the half-dragon half-vampire who gave off a weird domineering aura.
If that man wanted to marry his child someday, he would first need to build a portfolio of achievements to become worthy of her hand, only then would Dragoon treat him with respect.
" Thankyou for your support so far in healing me and helping me advance on my path " Max said politely as he did not take offence to the monarch's words.
In his heart Max knew that the dragon was right and had no qualms about being sent away.
" If you are looking to be promoted to tier4 before returning home, try your luck at the fields of thunder- , it's how the true god's progressed in the old days.
Not too far from this planet, tell the attendant outside if you wish to go there for he shall take you -
Otherwise take the teleportation centre to go wherever you wish to go " Dragoon said as he gave Max invaluable advice on his way out.
Mira looked at Max with complicated eyes as she desperately wanted to hug him before he left, but since her father was watching she had to settle with just a hand wave.
Max enthusiastically waved at her and her mother before leaving the hall, as Mira was left alone to her parents, as the true intense interrogation session began.
*********
( Meanwhile Max )
Max walked outside the hall and met the attendant waiting for him, as he asked the man to guide him to the fields of thunder.
The man gave Max a weird look as if he was mad, however, he did as was told and took Max to the docking bay where various supermodel type galactic ships were docked.
The attendant introduced Max to the pilot of one such ship, and gave him the coordinates to land at the fields of thunder.
The pilot entered the coordinates and chartered a course which would take him 45 minutes to reach, however as he looked at the destination they were supposed to go, he turned to look at Max as if he was a complete psycho.
" Are you sure sir you wish to go to this place? " The pilot with blonde hair who could be a dragon in human form or a human with blonde hair asked Max.
" Errr.. yes? " Max said sounding unsure
" Hahaha, it's my pleasure then " The pilot said as he gave Max a nervous laugh and took off.
Max had never heard about the fields of thunder, but since he was going to reach that place in the next 45 minutes anyways, he did not think much about it now, instead his complete focus was on the opportunity to draw one item from the universal warehouse provided to him by the Universal queen for achieving the impossible and killing a godly dragon.
The information about this opportunity was vague at best~
It said that Max was allowed to pick one item of his choosing, except the restricted items, hence he clicked on the system screen where it showed ' Retrieve Now ' as at that moment he felt his consciousness being sucked out of his body as he was mentally pulled into a completely different dimension.
**********
( The universal warehouse )
Max found himself walking through what seemed to be the biggest armoury he had ever seen in his life.
Hundreds of thousands of weapons below epic grade just littered the place unsorted, while the epic grade items and above were labelled and had a neat section for themselves.
Max felt like a kid given candy, as dopamine was released in large quantities throughout his body as he was given free reign to choose one item of his choosing from this entire space!
Max completely skipped the epic section and walked straight into the legendary section as since he could pick one item, he was going to go for the very best!
[ BoomBox ] ( Legendary ) : The box of sound that's able to, translate and mimic the sound of any creature of one's choosing.
[ Demon hunter arrows ] ( legendary ) : Arrows made from the soul of the legendary demon hunter Aaron. Sure to kill any demon below tier6 with a single shot.

Max excitedly read through the catalogue of items, as he felt excited to see that there were a total of 1024 legendary grade items stored in the warehouse!
