"What should I do?"
Ajax thought for some time about how to get more tickets to enter the five elemental world; however, he was unable to find a way to get them.
'Ding,
The teleport to the Purple stone world will be close in 10 seconds. Please enter before it closes.
'What?'
Ajax became anxious when he saw the sudden system notification that made him nearly cry; however, no tears came from his eyes.
'Sigh…I have to think of a way to come back within 20 days.'
Finally, Ajax could not help but sigh as he jumped into the portal and decided to find a way to come back after going back to the Purple stone world.
'Swoosh'
After Ajax jumped into the portal, it disappeared without a trace.
In the distance,
'Interesting...so, he could already create portals to other worlds.'
Master Ren, who was supposed to be recovering his strength in the cave, appeared some distance away from Ajax just when he was about to enter the portal.
After seeing that Ajax could create the portal, Master Ren revealed a slight smile on his face as he started changing his plans.
As for how he was able to find out that Ajax opened a portal to leave the five elemental world? It was, of course, informed to Master Ren by his dual elemental spirit Sumo.
'If he could create a portal to a normal world, then I think it would not take much time for him to create portals to the Greater worlds.'
With that thought in his mind, Master Ren disappeared from his place and appeared in his secret cave to recover.
Here, Master Ren assumed that Ajax had used some kind of official skill he gained from forming the contract with space elemental spirit Prophis.
However, what he didn't know was that the system created the portal for Ajax. As for Ajax, he was very far from creating a portal to a small world, not to mention the greater worlds.
...…
Zrochester province, Purple stone world.
'Swoosh'
In the outer section of the cursed wilderness, a group of figures were running at an incredible speed.
A few meters away from them, a portal opened as Ajax came out of it with a bitter look on his face.
After learning that he had to find more tickets to go back to the Five elemental world from the system, all his previous happiness of conquering the Western fox lands had disappeared without a trace.
Instead, he was worried about how to go back because he had another mission in the five elemental world.
Actually, Ajax was not worried much about not getting more tickets to go back to the five elemental world; instead, his worries were about getting a ticket within 20-25 days.
Because he had a mission to complete within a month and he felt he needed at least 5 days to complete the mission.
'Brother, we are not powerful enough to go against Edmond and Udo. Just thinking about their names makes me shiver.'
'Idiot. This is a huge opportunity for us. The royal family is offering a great reward just for giving some information to them about Edmond and Udo.'
'Even though the reward is good, we should be alive to enjoy those rewards, right?'
'No wonder you are the weakest one in our mercenary squad. We are not going to confront him; instead, he would just try our luck in finding their tracks.'
'Everyone, stop talking, there is someone ahead. We have to be careful.'
Just as Ajax came out of the portal, he heard the conversation of a group of people who were passing by.
'Huh?'
After hearing the conversation, Ajax raised his brows because he heard two familiar names in the conversation.
'What happened? Why would the royal family reward others for giving information on Captain Edmond and Udo?'
Soon, many questions formed in his head that made him didn't understand anything.
'Let's see who they are first.'
Since his questions would not get solved just by standing there and thinking. So, he decided to check on the incoming group before planning what to do next.
"Who is there?"
Not only Ajax, but the captain of the incoming mercenary squad also felt the presence of Ajax. So, he stopped in his tracks as he asked Ajax.
"I got separated from my mercenary squad."
Since they already noticed Ajax was hiding in the nearby bushes, Ajax came out from the bushes and informed them that he was a lost member of a mercenary squad.
Ajax was already prepared when he came out of his hiding place. He cleverly rubbed mud on his face and dishevelled his hair and clothes. So that, the mercenary squad would not remember him.
That's right!
Ajax was famous in the Zrochester province after the champion's contest. So, he didn't want his identity to be revealed when the other group was searching for Edmond and Udo.
"Which squad are you from?"
Even though Ajax was currently looking like a lost member of a mercenary squad, the squad leader felt something was not right. So, he asked about the squad name.
'How could a squad leave behind one of its squad members?'
This was the only thought in the squad leader's mind.
'I know them.'
As for Ajax, he was also in his thoughts.
While the entire squad members in front of him were checking him, Ajax was also checking them.
With a glance, Ajax was able to notice them because he had seen them multiple times in the past. Moreover, he also remembered the words of Captain Edmond about this squad.
'If you ever get into an argument with the Quickthunder mercenary squad, then run. They are not what everyone thinks they are.'
As Ajax had a good memory, he still remembered those words as he silently evaluated the cultivation of all the squad members.
"Kid, are you deaf? Answer the leader."
