When the mutated spirit crane was inside the 'Turquoise secret space', she was completely suppressed by the spirit consciousness beside her.
Even though she didn't have much knowledge on cultivation and other things because of her age, she was very sure that the spirit consciousness beside her was definitely a King realm expert.
So, when she heard Ajax's last line, the spirit crane could not help but remember the feeling of being suppressed by the dragon right in front of the Crowned Turquoise Queen.
'Human, are you sure it is only six months? And what will happen after six months?'
After thinking for a few more moments, the spirit crane finally gave in; however, she didn't give a confirmation; instead, she asked a few questions.
"After six months, you will be getting the inheritance and you don't have to worry about that dragon anymore."
Ajax replied with a slight smile on his face; however, inside his heart, he thought, 'Who knows what will happen after six months. Since the system asked me to protect the spirit crane for six months, then the danger for the spirit crane might go away after that time. So, there is nothing to worry about.'
Ajax convinced himself that it would not be a big problem for the spirit crane after six months.
Even if there was any problem, Ajax was very confident in protecting the spirit crane even after the six months because he was very sure that his cultivation would be increased along with his battle prowess.
'Human, I agree to come with you; however, you have to promise me in your summoner heart that you will bring me back to meet my master.'
It didn't take much time before the spirit crane nodded her head; however, she had a condition.
"Promise on my summoner's heart?"
Ajax was surprised to hear those words coming from the spirit crane.
'Yes, my master said that if a summoner promises on his summoner's heart and breaks the promise, then he will have a gruesome death.'
Seeing the shocked look on Ajax's face, the spirit crane replied to Ajax while thinking, 'I still didn't have the confidence that this human can protect me with hi cultivation; however, since the crowned turquoise queen tasked him regarding my protection, I think, I can only follow him for the next six months.'
Currently, Ajax's cultivation was only level 2 general realm whereas the spirit crane's cultivation was peak rank 6. So, it would be difficult for anyone to believe Ajax in protecting them.
Nevertheless, the spirit crane felt that she should follow him before the one who tasked him was none other than the Crowned Turquoise queen.
"Hm."
After hearing the spirit crane's words, Ajax nodded his head as he replied, "I, Ajax, swear on the summoner's heart that I will not keep the spirit crane for myself and try my best to send her back to Princess Daphne."
There was a slight hesitation in Ajax's face while he was swearing on his summoner's heart because he felt the summoner's heart is only a myth.
Moreover, he didn't have any plan to force the spirit crane into forming a contract with him.
'Since he didn't have any hesitation in sweating upon his summoner's heart, I think I can trust him.'
However, the spirit crane felt that Ajax didn't lie to her and completely believed Ajax.
"So, are we good now? Also, while you follow me, I will help you with your bloodline, the sooner your bloodline purity increases to 100 percent, the sooner you will get the inheritance."
Ajax replied with a smile on his face and at the same time, he told her that he would even help the spirit crane with her bloodline.
'Thank you.'
Hearing his words, the spirit crane became excited because she was hoping to get more primitive stones from Ajax. So, she could increase her bloodline purity.
"No problem."
Ajax shook his head as he finally completed one of the two tasks.
'Human, how are you going to convince my master? Are you going to tell the truth?'
While Ajax was planning on how to convince Princess Daphne, the spirit crane asked him the same time,
"You don't have to worry about it. Didn't I convince you just now? I will convince her just like that."
Ajax revealed a confident smile on his face as he replied to the spirit crane; however after he replied, he felt like he should have not said those words.
'Did I just reveal what I said was non-sense?'
Ajax slowly looked at the spirit crane and seeing that she didn't get any doubt, Ajax was able to heave a sigh of relief.
"Little blue? What happened to you?"
Soon, Ajax heard the familiar voice of Princess Daphne and looked at her.
Princess Daphne was walking out of the Sacred Pool and placed a talisman on herself to dry out her clothes before rushing towards the mutated spirit crane.
"She evolved into a Crowned Turquoise spirit crane. So, you don't have to worry about her."
Looking at the worried Princess Daphne, Ajax shook his head and explained about the spirit crane's evolution.
"Really? Congrats, little blue on your achievement. Moreover, your cultivation also increased to peak rank 6. You are more powerful than me now."
Princess Daphne was so excited with the evolution and breakthroughs of the spirit crane and said many things in a single go.
'Little blue, since you want to come with me, just do what I say.'
While Princess Daphne and the spirit crane were talking, Ajax silently transmitted his voice to the spirit crane and soon explained his plan.
'Okay, human.'
Since she would become a problem to her master because of the Crowned Turquoise Queen's inheritance, she decided to follow Ajax's plan.
'Good. Now, let's start our plan.'
Even though he felt sad for Princess Daphne, Ajax can't leave out the mission. So, he asked the spirit crane to start the plan.
