Chapter 590 - Eternal Nurturer

Everyone in the main hall followed the guild master's gaze and looked at Ramon, who was famously known as Eternal Nurturer.

As for why the guild master asked Ramon regarding two grey-coloured was because as the title suggests, Ramon was good at nurturing plants and spirit beasts.

Moreover, he had vast knowledge regarding them. So, there was no hesitation on the guild master's face when he was asking for Ramon's help despite being the leader of the 'Six Vagrant Cultivators'.

"Let me feel them,"

Ramon asked the guild master to give him the eggs. So that he could sense them whether they were worth it or just some useless eggs.

A normal rank 6 spirit beast egg was valuable in the market; however, the guild master didn't care much about them. If the eggs belonged to rank 6 spirit beast kings with special bloodlines then they would be worth nurturing.

'He is insulting me by not believing me,'

Jekaros, the Terratide family head, was dissatisfied with the guild master's actions because he was already bleeding out by giving those eggs to the mercenary guild and now they doubt him.

'No need to feel down, Nephew. After what we and other great families did, we can't expect everyone to believe us,'

Behind Jekaros, there was an old man as old as the old minister behind the king. He sensed Jekaros' emotion and calmed him down via voice transmission.

Jekaros looked back at his uncle and nodded his head.

"Not bad, you can take them, Rae,"

Ramon caressed the two grey coloured eggs for a moment before revealing a slight smile on his face as he nodded his head at the guild master and replied to him.

"Good then. I will accept these eggs from your Terratide family head,"

After the confirmation from his old friend, the guild master replied to Jakaros as he gave those eggs to Rulf for safekeeping them.

'Not bad my ass. Do you know, as long as you supply them the required cultivation resources, they will reach the peak rank 6 without any trouble,' When he heard Ramon's evaluation of those two eggs and the guild master's smile, Jakaros cursed inside his heart.

"Now, Fire sword sect and the Royal family are the only ones left,"

The guild master knew what Jakaros was thinking in his mind; however, he didn't mind him as he looked at the fire sword sect leader and Stephen and said in a slow voice.

"Our fire sword sect will be opening our sect's holy grounds in a month. I will give three spots for your mercenary guild; however, you know the rules for entering my holy grounds, right?"

Unlike the five great families' heads, the fire sword sect leader, Ketrok, didn't stand up and calmly said to the guild master with no expression on his face.

"What? Fire sword sect giving entries to their holy grounds just like that?"

"This is the first time, they are giving it to outsiders, I think,"

"But, look at the sect leader's face, there is no expression on his face. Looks like he is not worried about three mercenaries entering their holy grounds,"

"Among all the top powers, the fire sword sect is cruel and cunning. So, I think there is more to their gift to the mercenary guild,"

The fire sword sect's words became a heated discussion among the onlookers as they muttered in a low voice.

"Are you really giving three spots?"

Even the leaders of the top powers sitting around the long table were shocked by Ketrok's words. So, the guild master asked while raising his brows.

"Why will I lie in front of these many people?"

With a scoff, Ketrok replied to the guild master and seriously looked at the on-lookers who were talking bad things about him and his sect.

As soon as he looked at them, the entire main hall fell silent and only after that, he looked at the guild master.

"Okay then. Give me the entry tokens,"

Finally, the guild master nodded his head as he asked for the enter tokens in the fire sword sect's holy grounds.

'Swoosh'

Ketrok threw three similar-looking red-coloured tokens at the guild master which were caught by him.

On the three tokens, there was a symbol of a huge sword that was surrounded by fire.

"I will be waiting for your three participants at the entrance of my holy grounds," Ketrok revealed a large smile on his face as he silently thought in his head, 'There is only death awaiting them inside my sect's holy grounds.'

Fire sword sect's holy grounds were opened once in every five years and 50 talented fire sword sect's students would be sent into it because there were many treasures, alchemy ingredients, weapons, artifacts and many more things were hidden in it along with various dangers.

There was not much information on it and no one knows where it came from; however, for some reason, the fire sword sect knows the exacts details of that holy grounds and they managed to open an entrance to it and became the sole owner of it in the Zrochester province.

"Since the fire sword sect and all the great families are very generous with their gifts to the mercenary guild, the royal family has to give even more valuable thing to show them what is the true richness is,"

Soon, the king started speaking which grabbed the attention of all those present in the main hall as he continued, "I will give you this thing as compensation."

While saying that, he took out a golden coloured huge shield from his space ring and kept it on the long table.

"..."

Everyone, including the guild master, became speechless at the King's words and carefully looked at Stephen wondering what was special with the huge shield in front of them.

'Why did he take that item out? His master ordered him to give something else, right?'

The old minister behind Stephen was shocked by the King's actions and anxiously thought in his head.
