"You and your master seem to share the same temper," Zachary said to the Dragon Finch with a smile.
"You can really hear me?" the Dragon finch asked in surprise.
"Yes. Unfortunately, your master doesn't believe me," Zachary responded, crossing his arms over his chest.
"If I were her, I wouldn't believe it either. I've never heard of humans who can communicate with treasure beasts using words," the Dragon Finch replied.
"Well, you can consider me an exception. Can you please tell your master that I can actually talk with you?" Zachary asked with expectant eyes.
"Why should I do this for you?" The Dragon finch was not buying Zachary's story.
"If you tell your master, I will help you out," Zachary said, trying to coax it.
"How?" the Dragon Finch snorted with disdain.
"I have many treasures exclusive to treasure beasts, such as the Growth-promoting Pill. I think you'll find them useful," Zachary answered.
"Here is the thing. I don't know what's wrong with my body, but it has been a while since I was able to produce treasures. There is one treasure inside me that has completely matured. If I can't give birth to it soon, I will have to destroy it to avoid any unnecessary impact on my body. However, it would be a pity to do so. My master has also been waiting for this treasure, because it's super important to her," the Dragon Finch admitted.
"Oh, really? Well, I can arrange a full medical workup for you to see if there is anything wrong," Zachary suggested at once.
"Why should I believe you?" The Dragon Finch seemed to be very suspicious.
"As a treasure beast, you are intelligent, aren't you? I think you can tell what kind of person I am," Zachary replied with a smile.
The Dragon Finch looked at Zachary for a bit and found a strange and attractive aura emitting from him.
"Well, I can believe you to some degree. But I can't tell my master myself. She may not believe me," the Dragon Finch replied, finally relenting to Zachary's plan.
"As long as you tell me something about your master that no one else knows, that will be the proof I need and she will definitely believe my ability," Zachary said with a snicker.
"Well..." The Dragon Finch hesitated.
"Don't worry. I won't hurt your master. Besides, n
s favor by offering such a useless examination. While he might be able to communicate with treasure beasts as he claimed, they refused to believe he wanted to cure the beast. He was merely an Imperial Level warrior from the Devil Kingdom, after all. None of them believed he could do something the Imperial Level warriors of Crane College were unable to do.
"I promised your Dragon Finch to conduct a thorough check on its body," Zachary added, trying to convince Linda to agree with his plan.
Linda quickly turned to look at the Dragon Finch. She was shocked that the Dragon Finch would trust a stranger like that. The Dragon Finch gave a slight nod, confirming Zachary's words.
"Okay, but you can only do it right here," Linda replied with a nod.
Originally, Zachary had planned on bringing the Dragon Finch into the system for inspection. But something told him Linda would not willingly allow him to be alone with her treasure beast. So he smiled and then said to Mimi in secret, "Mimi, help me do a thorough examination on the Dragon Finch to see if there is anything wrong with it."
"No problem! The examination will start now. The thermal image is loading! Analyzing..."
In order to convince Linda he was the one doing the check, Zachary touched the Dragon Finch here and there.
Five minutes later, Mimi's delicate voice sounded again. "The examination is complete. This treasure beast's production organs are obviously damaged. That is creating an obstacle in the delivery of the treasure."
