"I have an important task for you."
After seeing his servants, the middle-aged man called as Dragon master said to them as he continued saying, "Pick 100 best dragonlings who were re-cultivated into humans and prepare them to send to the Zrochester province."
"Zrochester province?"
Everyone was surprised at their master's words as they didn't understand why their master, who was a king realm cultivator, wanted them to enter the Zrochester province, a lowly province in the Purple stone world.
Another noticeable thing was all the servants in front of the dragon master were having the head of dragons with tails on their backs; however, the rest of the body was similar to humans.
And all of them were very old and emitted a powerful aura that didn't belong to a regular peak elite general realm cultivator.
"Yes, dragon master."
Nevertheless, as the servants of the house of dragons, they were to follow their master's orders without questioning back.
"Dragon Master, to pass through the barrier, we need to pay 10 high-level spirit stones for a single dragonling…."
"You don't have to worry about the cost. You can go to the old accountant and take 1200 high-level spirit stones which should be enough for your roundtrip"
Before one of the oldest servants could finish his words, the dragon master interrupted him and ordered him to take high-level spirit stones from his accountant.
That's right!
As long as one pays the required spirit stones, the protector of that province will send the cultivators to another province.
As for the protector of the other province, he would not bother with those cultivators who enter into his province by paying their protector some high-level spirit stones because he would get half of what they pay to their protector.
However, there would be some conditions though despite paying the required fee to the protectors.
First and the most important one, they will not allow anyone to learn the cultivator's law or King realm cultivators into the Zrochester province because it was set by the world itself from killing the beings of the low-level province by the powerful beings from the powerful province.
"Yes, Dragon master. I will take 100 dragonlings along with me and complete the mission."
One of the old servants bowed to the middle-aged man before leaving the room.
The dragon master didn't want others to know about the mission of hunting the spirit crane. So, he transmitted all the mission details to one of his loyal servants.
Moreover, that old servant also did the same and didn't reveal about the mission.
"You can go and help him with the 100 elite dragonlings."
The dragon master ordered the other servants to leave the room.
"Yes, Dragon master."
Everyone bowed to the middle-aged man and left the room without asking any more questions.
If someone from the Zrochester province knew about how much they were spending just to enter their province, they would have been shocked to the core because almost all the cultivators in the Zrochester province have never seen a high-level spirit stone.
'Hmph...does she really think I, the leader of the 'House of dragons' would acknowledge a little bird as my equal? It is not going to happen.'
After all the dragon servants left the room, the Dragon master scoffed while remembering the words of the Crowned Turquoise Queen.
He was none other than the second spirit consciousness that appeared in the Turquoise secret space created by the Crowned Turquoise Queen.
Generally, dragons feel they are the most powerful race in the entire universe. So, how could he form an alliance with a spirit crane which was at the lowest food chain of the spirit beasts?
'Moreover, the reason for my secondary bloodline 'Crowned Turquoise Queen' being at such a high purity was because of devouring the other spirit beasts who swallowed the Turquoise queen's blood.'
With an evil chuckle, the dragon master continued thinking, 'Since I can get the inheritance of such a powerful cultivator after increasing my secondary bloodline to 100 percent, 1200 pieces of high-level spirit stones are nothing.'
Even though it was rare for the cultivators to have two bloodlines, it was not impossible. Moreover, it is not Zrochester province; instead, it is Xacaster province which had the purest form of the essence of nature.
'When I get the inheritance, my 'House of Dragons', will become the absolute ruler of the Purple stone world...Haha.'
By the time his thoughts came to an end, the dragon master started laughing as though he had already increased his bloodline percentage to 100.
...
In the Turquoise secret realm.
'System, next time you pull me into any secret space, warn me before a minute. So, I can prepare myself.'
As for Ajax, he was heaving panting after his spirit consciousness entered into his body.
'Rattle'
While Ajax was in his thoughts, he heard a low rattle bugle sound coming from the mutated spirit crane.
"Calm down. The pain is temporary."
Ajax guessed the reason why the spirit crane was getting anxious. So, he tried to calm the crane by saying that the pain would be temporary.
The pain was because of the sudden increase in the purity of its bloodline.
Soon, the spirit crane became normal and looked at Ajax with a grateful look in her eyes.
"Hey, I don't want to waste my time by saying nonsense. So, I will directly come to the point. Your life's in danger from the second spirit consciousness beside you."
Ajax already guessed the reason why he got the mission from the system to protect the spirit crane. So, without wasting any time, he directly informed the spirit crane as he continued saying, "So, if you follow me for a few months, I can protect you."
After finishing his words, Ajax looked at the spirit crane to see what she would reply to him; however, Ajax had already guessed what she would say. So, he was thinking about a way to convince her.
'Sorry, human.'
