Chapter 1266 - [Bonus ]Conflict With Royal Servants

'...'

He was speechless because he guessed it was because of the little fight he had with the system; however, he didn't bother much as he got the main rewards anyway.

'With the normal world core, I can become a level 3 elite general cultivator; however, let's collect more of them before using all of them.'

For the current Ajax, he was already capable of going against the low-level king realm cultivators easily and currently, he didn't have any dangers. So, he thought about using the normal world core after collecting a few more of them.

'Also, I can use it when I am heavily injured as absorbing the world cores has an additional ability to heal even severe injuries.'

Since the demons had planned to invade the Ylercester province in a few days, Ajax thought having a normal world core would be quite helpful while fighting against the demons.

Not only can he have instant healing, but his strength would also increase a little bit.

'Time to enter the Ylercester province.'

After checking his rewards from the mission, Ajax thought of entering the Ylercester province.

'Ding,

The barrier is currently moving deeper into the inner section of the cursed wilderness.

'Ding,

Your ability to pass through the barrier works only when you are within a 10-meter range of the barrier.

Before he could ask the system about it, the system sent a couple of system notifications asking him to rush towards the barrier.

'Okay'

Ajax nodded his head and looked at the group of spirit beasts behind him.

Primitive ape king, Diamond centaur, Winged Anubis and Stormy octopus. Except for the ape king, the remaining three were the spirit beast kings that rule the seventh, eighth and ninth ranked territories in the inner section of the cursed wilderness.

Ajax thought he would need them while fighting against the demon apostle; however, since the demon apostle cancelled his plan to invade the Zrochester province, they came to the outer section of the cursed wilderness for nothing.

"Everyone, we have successfully stopped the invasion. You can all go back to your territories and relax until I summon you the next time."

Ajax ordered the three spirit beast kings to leave, and they nodded their heads before returning back obediently.

"You have to take care of the territory until Darbaudr comes back."

Next, he looked at the ape king and asked him to take care.

Since the primitive ape king is not his tamed spirit beast, Ajax could only request his services.

"Of course, I will. So, where are you going, brother Ajax?"

The primitive ape king didn't think much about helping Ajax take care of Gaimont's territory. So,  he nodded his head and asked where he was going.

"I am going to the Ylercester province."

With a mysterious smile on his face, Ajax replied to the primitive ape king and asked, "Do you want to know how?"

"Stop joking, brother Ajax. The barrier to the Ylercester province is already closed and you can't enter it now."

The primitive ape king shook his head.

"Do you want me to show you how I do it? If you follow…"

"Brother Ajax, I already said stop joking with me."

However, before Ajax could finish his words, the primitive ape king interrupted Ajax as he continued, "I just remembered that I have a date with someone. Wish me luck."

"I am not jo…"

"Thank you. I gotta go now."

The primitive ape king really looked excited and didn't even bother to listen to Ajax as he rushed into the inner section of the cursed wilderness.

'This ape…'

Ajax was annoyed and irritated at the silhouette of the running primitive ape king; however, in the next moment, he shook his head and thought, 'I will just enter the Ylercester province.'

With that thought in his head, Ajax also rushed into the inner section of the cursed wilderness since the barrier is moving deeper into the cursed wilderness.

...…

In the Ylercester province.

In front of the guest buildings of the Flerton royal family.

As the geniuses from all over the Purple stone world were registering their names to participate in the contest, Paulin and Levi along with the group of elders who came with them were standing under the shade of a tree.

Since Paulin and Levi were summoners, their registration process was finished.

Even though the process was not very fast as there were a lot of summoners in the special line too, compared to the normal line, it was considered very fast.

"My…my…isn't this the famous thief of the Ylercester province?"

While they were waiting for their friends to finish their registration process, an arrogant voice came from a distance that attracted the attention of everyone in the area, including the royal servants.

"Famous thief?"

"Isn't he hiding in some hellhole?"

All the royal servants and the geniuses of the Ylercester province muttered in an audible voice as they looked at the owner of the voice.

"Yes. He was supposed to hide in a dimensional crevice that was connecting the two provinces, Ylercester and Zrochester; however, it looks like he came to participate in the contest."

A young man in blue-coloured robes looked at Levi as he said those words.

"What? Is he the same Levi that stole the heaven grade herb from the royal family?"

The royal servant followed the sight of the young man and saw Levi who had an angry look on his face.

At the same time, he walked towards Levi and asked, "Aren't you ashamed to show your face after stealing the royal ingredient?"

"Since you dared to come back, you will be taken to the royal court to decide what punishment you will receive."

The royal servants didn't give any time for Levi to speak or act as more than a dozen royal servants surrounded Levi.

"I think there is some kind of misunderstanding. Why don't we talk about it?"

Seward stood in front of Levi and politely asked the head royal servant.

"Kick him aside for interrupting the duty of the royal servants and bring him."

"Huh? Do you dare?"

All of a sudden, Seward's body emitted a strong pressure as he said those words.
