Even though Ajax had killed a dozen royal shadows, he didn't know how many more would come. So, before he left Princess Daphne and the old man Li to enter the Never-returning cave, he wanted to keep them in a safe place where they could rest until the old man recovered his strength.
'Moreover, with the speed of the mutated spirit crane, they will not have any difficulty in escaping from the powerful foes.'
Ajax didn't want anything to happen to Princess Daphne and at the same time, he could not stay with Princess Daphne all the time to protect her from her problems all the time.
Soon, Ajax took them to the middle section of the cursed wilderness as Princess Daphne and the old man Li, silently followed, wondering where Ajax was taking them to.
"I know you are here, Uncle Ceru."
After entering a little deeper into the middle section of the cursed wilderness, Ajax spoke in a calm tone; however, it resounded in the middle section and soon, a silhouette appeared in front of Ajax.
"Young master Ajax, do you need me for something?"
The silhouette belonged to a middle-aged man who respectfully asked Ajax whether he wanted something from him.
In general, the middle section of the cursed wilderness was ruled by Geron, Keshe' father; however, he was currently receiving special training from the King of the inner section of the cursed wilderness along with Gaimont.
So, currently, it was looked after by Ceru, the loyal follower of Geron, the fairy king.
"Uncle Ceru, how are Sister Kesha and Brave?"
Ajax didn't directly mention what he needed; instead, he asked about Keshe and Brave whom he healed after their re-cultivation process went south.
Nevertheless, in the end, the re-cultivation was a success and they continued focusing on increasing their strength to break through into the King realm.
"They are doing fine thanks to young master Ajax. They even awakened their own bestial law and they are one step closer to becoming the King realm experts."
Ceru revealed an excited smile on his face as he replied to Ajax while thanking him.
"It is because of their own talent."
Ajax remained modest as he came to the main business, "Can you protect them until they recover their strength?"
"Huh?"
Ceru was observing Princess Daphne and the old man Li, who looked tired and weak before nodding his head, "Of course, it is the least thing we could do for the young master."
Because of Ajax, Geron and the middle section of the cursed wilderness grew a little power and what's more, Ajax had saved Keshe and Brave. So, Ceru was more than happy to help Ajax.
"Thank you. I will definitely help you in the future."
Sooner or later, the entire Cursed wilderness will come under his control. So, Ajax knew he could help Geron's territory a lot in the coming days.
"Princess Daphne, I will take my leave as I have something urgent to do."
As soon as he finished his words, Ajax didn't stay back as he directly moved deeper into the middle section of the cursed wilderness as the never returning cave was along the borderline of the middle section and inner section of the cursed wilderness.
'Who is he?'
This was the only thought in Princess Daphne after hearing the conversation between Ajax and Ceru.
Princess Daphne could see that Ceru was actually a spirit beast, in fact, a powerful spirit beast. However, that powerful spirit beast was very respectful to Ajax and even called him 'Young master'.
To her, Ajax was always a mystery. Just when she thought she was getting to know Ajax better, the more mysterious Ajax was becoming to her.
"Let's go."
Nevertheless, she knew only headache would come from thinking about Ajax and quietly followed behind Ceru to rest until she and her grandfather recovered their strength.
Other than the three of them, a mutated spirit crane also followed them while keeping a lookout for their surroundings.
...
Inside the never returning cave.
The never returning cave is only accessible to the selected few and among those selected few, only those who cleared the basic trial in the cave could use the other functions of the cave.
"Sir Zaglanath, I want to enter the Bloodline training grounds."
As soon as he entered the never returning cave, Ajax called the half human-half demon about his purpose of visit.
"100 high-level heaven grade weapons."
The handsome demon appeared in front of Ajax and asked for the payment to enter the Bloodline training grounds, which Ajax paid without any hesitation.
'With this, all the high-level heaven grade weapons on me are finished.'
Ajax shook his head for a moment; however, when he thought about the weapons he would get after going back to the grey dwarf world the next time, he felt relieved.
"Let's see how long you will stay this time."
With a slight smile, Zaglanath waved his hand and sent Ajax into the mysterious training zone.
'Time to increase all my bloodline to level 3.'
This time, Ajax had set a goal for himself and it was increasing the levels of all three of his bloodline to level 3.
Soon, Ajax appeared in the familiar woods and continued his hunt to increase the normal bloodline points.
....
Somewhere in a dark room.
"So, there is an event in the Ylercester province and the chief guest was none other than the Emperor of the Purple stone world? Are you sure about it?"
An old man in black robes that perfectly integrated into the darkroom, asked a middle-aged man.
"Yes, ancestor."
The middle-aged man nodded his head respectfully with slight fear while looking at the old man.
The old man was the same ancestor who gave the orders for the massacre in the Silver Orphanage. Currently, he was no longer interested in Ajax because he got some bigger things to worry about as he got to know something that made anxiously.
"What should I do? If he is alive, then it is over for us."
The ancestor was completely in despair as he didn't know what to do now after learning the truth about the emperor of the purple stone world.
