Lux and the Dwarf children were imdiately taken to the Commander's Office.
The Territory-Wide Announcent caught everyone by surprise. Especially the Riders of Norria and their Commander, Thoram.
Because of this, they wanted to ask Lux and his friends how they were able to unlock the hidden quest. Ever since the dungeon was discovered, none of them had even heard about a hidden quest. All of them looked at Lux and the Dwarf children as if they were angels that had fallen down from the sky to make their lives easier.
Lux told Thoram and Nevreal with a straight face that he didn't know what triggered the activation of the Hidden Quest. However, he told them about his suspicions, which made everyone inside the conference room listen to him with serious expressions on their faces.
"When we killed one of the Orcs inside the dungeon, instead of dropping a Beast Core, it dropped a treasure map," Lux stated. "After following the instructions in the map, we ca across a hidden cave. Inside it was an Old Orc, who told us about the Hidden Quest.
"The quest was about taking the Old Orc to the Orc Stronghold, and let him retrieve a nto that was left behind by the first Orc Chieftain. It was a very hard mission and we had to stay inside the Dungeon for several days to wait for the perfect opportunity."
"Fortunately, an opportunity arrived and we were able to secure the artifact that the Old Orc wanted. After we completed the mission, we were all teleported back here."
Lux had no intention of telling anyone about the details of the Hidden Mission in case it encouraged the other Dwarves to be more wary of possible hidden missions inside the Dungeons that were scattered within the Kingdom of Gweliven.
Telling them that the trigger of the quest ca from a monster drop would make them think that it all depended on luck.
Colette and the others all had calm expressions on their faces because Lux had already told them that this was the story he'd tell the others before they left the dungeon. The dwarven children understood what Lux was trying to tell them, so they promised that they would keep the details of the quest a secret.
"A monster drop…" Thoram sighed before nodding his head in understanding.
What Lux had told him was sothing that had already happened in the past. There was a Dwarf adventurer that had discovered a treasure map after opening a chest inside a Dungeon. However, instead of clearing it alone, he asked for the help of the Kingdom to help clear it.
After completing the Hidden Mission, they discovered a Legendary Artifact, which the adventurer had donated to the Royal Family, making the Dwarf King very happy. Because of this, he was given the title of Viscount and fertile lands ideal for planting crops.
Nevreal also knew of this story, so he believed Lux's explanation. Also, he had been paying close attention to the Dwarf children, and none of them were showing any sign that there was anything suspicious about the Half-Elf's tale.
"On behalf of the Riders of Norria, I would like to thank you for clearing the mission," Thoram gave Lux as well as the Dwarves a deep bow of gratitude. "I swear on my na that if you ever need the help of the Riders of Norria, we will co to your aid without fail."
He knew that Lux may not understand the significance of the rewards that his territory had received, but Thoram knew very well how amazing they were. Because of the temporary buffs the territory received, it would definitely help in its growth and developnt.
Also, the increased boost in strength of those who defended the territory ensured that they would be able to handle the threats that might arise at any mont like Dungeon and Monster outbreaks.
An hour later, Lux and the children were escorted to the best tavern in the Stronghold to enjoy good food and ad.
,m They were treated like VIP Guests, which made the Dwarf children giddy with happiness. Lux, on the other hand, took things in stride, but the smile on his face remained until he entered one of the VIP rooms that were reserved for them.
"Tomorrow, we return to Leaf Village, Eiko," Lux yawned as he removed his boots.
The baby Sli had already jumped on the bed because she also felt exhausted from the things that happened over the past few days. The mont Lux laid on the bed, Eiko jumped on his chest and yawned.
"Goodnight, Eiko," Lux said as he lightly patted the sleepy baby's head.
"Pa…," Eiko sleepily replied before closing her eyes to sleep.
Soon, the baby Sli was fast asleep, leaving Lux to look at the big harvest that he received after clearing the Hidden Quest of the Orc Dominion Dungeon.

Lux was quite happy with the rewards, especially the additional Summons that he received from the reward. This effectively raised the number of Skeletons that he could summon, making his force more formidable.
But, what perplexed him the most was the Blackrock Clan Reputation Points. Since it was added in the rewards, it could only an one thing.
"The Blackrock Clan exists sowhere in Elysium…," Lux muttered as he thought of Barca, as well as the Orc Warlords whom he had fought alongside.
In truth, Lux was wondering how the original Barca would have dealt with Orobak and the issue for succession. He already knew that Barca was a cunning Half-Orc, so he was sure that if the story he witnessed inside the dungeon was real then the possibility of the Half-Orc succeeding was high.
The Half-Elf yawned a second ti before he closed his Soul Book. Since the Hidden Quest was already over, it was about ti to let go of the theories that he had made up inside his head.
'I'll just sleep for now,' Lux thought as he closed his eyes. 'I still have many things to do tomorrow.
Lux still hadn't upgraded Eiko's Rank because he planned to do it after he rested, and cleared his head. That way, he wouldn't make a mistake when he needed to choose skills or abilities that would be helpful to his baby Sli.
As the Half-Elf and his friends slept, word of their deed was already making its way to the Capital via ssenger birds.
As to how the Royal Family would react to the achievents they made, only ti would tell.
