Chapter 622: Gifts
Chapter 622: Gifts
While talking with one another, Ajax and Darbaudr came out of the Goldcrest town and as soon as they came out, Ajax looked at his surroundings before summoning the destructive twilight dragon.
Just like what Captain Edmond had said earlier, he wished to hide all his trump cards to give his enemies a surprise.
‘Roar’
As soon as the destructive dragon was summoned out of the inner world, he roared at the sky as usual.
‘Idiot. Stop roaring; otherwise, everyone will come here,’ Ajax hurriedly ordered the dragon to stop roaring and looked at the barbarian before saying, “Darbaudr, let’s go.”
‘Swoosh’
Soon, Ajax pointed in the direction of the assassination circle and the dragon flew in that direction at an incredible speed.
…….
In the depths of the cursed wilderness,
While Ajax was starting his revenge on the assassin sect, the atmosphere of a specific region in the depths of the cursed wilderness was very silent.
“How do you know, Ajax?”
Just when Keshe and others were leaving the area where they met a black-robed man, the black-robed old man himself asked while looking at Keshe.
“Huh? We don’t know anyone by that name, respected master,” Keshe’s uncle hurriedly came forward and stood in front of Keshe as he replied to the black-robed old man.
“Am I talking to you?”
The black-robed man slightly waved his hand and Keshe’s uncle fell to the ground.
‘Aargh’
Moreover, from the looks of it, Keshe’s uncle was under so much pain that he started groaning.
“I know… I know him,” Keshe hurriedly replied to the black-robed old man with a face full of worry and started explaining how she met Ajax and how Ajax requested her to search for his friends.
“Haha…Good,”
As soon as Keshe started explaining, the black-robed old man retracted his cultivation pressure from the green-robed old man and once she finished explaining he nodded his head while laughing out.
“Senior…,”
“The so-called friends of his are with me and I am taking care of their training,”
Before Keshe could ask a question in her mind, the black-robed old man replied with a slight smile on his face.
That’s right!
The black-robed old man was none other than Elder Boron, who was training Damon and others in the depths of the Cursed Wilderness.
“What?”
Keshe was shocked and for some reason, she felt a little happy before saying, “Senior, Ajax was worried about his friends. Can I inform Ajax about his friends being here? So that he could come and visit them?”
“No, you can’t say that,” Elder Boron shook his head rejecting Keshe’s words.
‘Why?’
Keshe didn’t dare to ask out loud but she silently thought in her head and at the same time she continued thinking, ‘So, he is the Elder Boron that Ajax muttered the last time he is with me.’
When they meet in the middle section of the cursed wilderness a couple of days, Ajax mutters Elder Boron’s name a couple of times.
At that time, she thought that Elder Boron was Ajax’s teacher and didn’t think much about it.
However, that same Elder Boron was stronger than her father. Just thinking about it made her wonder about Ajax’s origins.
“However, you can say that his friends are with Elder Boron and also, you say that you found this letter in a wooden house in the depths of the cursed wilderness,”
Elder Boron took a scroll out of nowhere and tossed it at Keshe before saying, “Don’t try to read it. Other than Ajax, no one could open it.”
“Okay senior,” Keshe nodded her head and her plans of venturing the depths of the cursed wilderness disappeared.
Currently, she only wants to go back to her father and inform about this Black-robed old man.
“Wait a second. Why are you in such a hurry?”
However, before he could even take a step, Elder Boron stopped her and asked them why they were in such a hurry?.
‘What is it, senior? I promise you that today’s events will not be known to others,’
Keshe felt that Elder Boron must have read her thoughts. So, she hurriedly promised not to reveal a single thing about what happened here.
“Haha…I hope you do that’ however, I stopped you for something else,” Looking at the fearful expression on Keshe’s face, Elder Boron felt a little funny and laughed as he continued, “Since you saved Ajax, he is a small thing for you and the little lion.”
While saying that, Elder Boron tossed two shining items at her before disappearing from his place.
One item was a crystal which was shining with black light and the other one was a shining small shield.
“Huh?”
Keshe caught them as looked at the two items in her hands with a curious look on her face; however, she was unable to find out what they were.
At the same time, she didn’t dare to ask about them because items from an expert who was stronger than his father would be very valuable.
‘Th..these are…,’
However, Keshe’s uncle was shocked when he saw the items in Keshe’s hands and stammered for a while before hurriedly said to Keshe, “Keshe and Brave, thank the respected master for his gifts.”
How could he not notice the items with his level of experience? So, he asked them to bow to Elder Boron.
“However, Elder Born is gone,” Keshe shook her head.
Nevertheless, she and the demonic lion king bowed at the place where Elder Boron was standing earlier.
“Now, uncle. Can you tell us what these items are?”
After bowing, Keshe asked her uncle because of his earlier expression.
“Let’s go from here, first. I will explain everything along the way,”
With that, he took Keshe and the demonic lion king hurriedly rushed towards the middle section of the cursed wilderness.
“That black crystal is for Brave,”
After travelling some distance, Keshe’s uncle started explaining about one of the items in Keshe’s hand.
“In that crystal, a cultivation technique, specific for Demonic lions, is stored. With that help, he could re-cultivate just like your brother,” The green-robed old man didn’t explain everything at once and allowed Keshe and the demonic lion king to get his words.
“What? A re-cultvation technique?” Keshe and the demonic lion king were shocked at first and later it turned into a pleasant surprise.
“Haha…Brave, finally we can both re-cultivate,”
After surprising her emotions, Keshe patted the demonic lion king’s black coloured mane and said with a laugh.
For each spirit beast, to re-cultivate into humanoid forms, there would be different cultivation techniques.
Somewhile ago, Keshe’s mysterious big brother had sent a re-cultivation technique for her and because of Ajax, she postponed her re-cultivation process for a week.
However, now her best friend also got a re-cultivation technique specific for himself. So, she was very happy because now they could both re-cultivate at the same time.
Currently, Keshe and her uncle were in a transformed form and it was not a permanent one.
Once she re-cultivated, then she wouldn’t be in purely human form; instead, she would be in a humanoid form of a forest fairy.
“Keshe, Brave, you two the first spirit beasts to re-cultivate in the entire Zrochester province. So, be careful as we yet to find out the difficulties of the process,” Keshe’s uncle warned her about the entire re-cultivation process.
“Big brother has already re-cultivated. So, there is no need to worry about it, right?” Keshe asked with a question mark on her face.
“Your brother didn’t re-cultivate in this world; moreover, his cultivation was very high when he re-cultivated. So, just be careful,” Keshe’s uncle warned them.
“Sure, uncle,” Keshe nodded her head before asking, “I am still unable to believe that we got a re-cultivation technique that easily.”
For her, in the entire Zrochester province, it was impossible to find it because she saw how many resources her father had used to search for a re-cultivation; however, he still didn’t find a single thing clue about it.
‘He didn’t even hesitate while tossing these items,’ Keshe’s questions about this so-called Elder Boron and Ajax increased very much.
“He is so powerful. I doubt that he is already a king-realm cultivator,” Keshe’s uncle started expressing his views and continued, “Just don’t think much and complete his orders of giving the scroll to Ajax. After that start your re-cultivation process.”
According to Keshe’s uncle, it was not a good thing to dig deeper into the actions and mysteries behind some powerful experts because they would not know what they would discover and when they find something that the powerful expert was trying to hide, then what would happen to them.
“By the way, when are you going to meet that young man?” After finishing his words, the green-robed old man didn’t give any time for Keshe as he asked her.
“After two days, at the intersection of the middle-section and outer section of the cursed wilderness,” Keshe said the time and place of their meeting with Ajax to her uncle.
“Good. Please don’t say more than what the expert had said. Otherwise, it will be the end of your father’s rule in the middle section of the cursed wilderness,”
The green-robed old man was still in fear about what Keshe would say to the young man. So, he warned her.
“I know, uncle,” Keshe nodded her head and asked, “Since you explained about the black crystal then what this small shield is useful for?”
Soon, Keshe asked about the other item she had received from the black-robed old man.
