Davis became a little impatient, \"Make your decision. It’s not like I don’t know that you can’t afford it... On top of the Conferred King Tournament rewards, you also have the rewards from the ’trial’ back then...\"
Princess Isabella hurriedly shook her head before dawdling again a bit.
\"What? Don’t tell me you won’t purchase those formations?\"
Davis narrowed his eyes in displeasure, not giving her some leeway to escape from responsibility since they were a group.
Princess Isabella became a little bit hesitant but still revealed, \"No, I meant that I don’t have the rewards from the trial.\"
Davis became astonished. He looked at her in suspicion before hesitatingly speaking, \"Don’t tell me you gave all those High-Level Spirit Stones to your little dragon?\"
\"Yes...\"
Princess Isabella just chuckled, however, her chuckle contained ounces of embarrassment.
Davis inwardly slapped his forehead. He had expected this to happen and even informed Clara to be careful of that little Earth-Dragon. It’s just that, he didn’t expect for Princess Isabella to completely give those 100,000 High-Level Spirit Stones to that little Earth-Dragon.
’So much High-Level Spirit Stones... Princess Isabella has no need for it since she doesn’t train her Essence Gathering Cultivation System as her main. Hence, it is useless in her possession but shouldn’t she realize that Spirit-Stones was a hard currency that is useful in these territories?’
’No!’
’Princess Isabella cleared the Emperor Grade Trial around the time when I and Evelynn got married, so it is possible that she gave all those High-Level Spirit Stones to the Earth Dragon thinking that it is useless for the current her.’
’And those High-Level Spirit Stones should be enough for that little Earth-Dragon to become a Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast; A Seventh Stage Magical Beast...’
Davis suddenly felt a chill creeping over his spine when he imagined the Earth Dragon rampaging through the Loret Empire.
Wouldn’t the Earth Dragon be demolishing Kingdoms and ravaging Empires right now?
\"Are you sure that your little Earth Dragon isn’t rampaging throughout the Grand Sea Continent right now?\" He asked in a doubtful tone.
Princess Isabella confidently shook her head, \"I’ve taught Mira manners and ethics. There’s no way she would do such a barbaric act in her life...\"
Davis pursed his lips. He had no choice but to take her words at face value.
He continuously nodded his head, \"I see...\"
\"Even then, you still can afford to buy those formations with just the rewards from the Conferred King Tournament. I just won’t take no for an answer.\"
The undulations of that Peak-Level King Grade Armament would’ve clearly been noticed by him, but, he didn’t. The formations at the residence were just Low-Level King Grade which clearly isn’t enough curb the undulations of that Peak-Level King Grade Armament if it were to display its strength for the first time since it is instinctual for most spirits.
Davis knew this because Old Man Garvin had warned him so as a precaution.
’Is she lying?’ Davis pondered but then heard Princess Isabella add a sentence.
\"I didn’t forcefully make the sword bend to my will. I slowly placated it to become mine.\"
\"How?\"
Davis became astonished. There was such a method? He didn’t hear about this from Old Man Garvin.
The only method he knew how to tame a spirit is the crude method taught to him by Old Man Garvin, which is to force the spirit of armament to obey his will by overpowering it or threatening to kill its spirit.
\"Firstly, I fed it a few surges of my martial energy on a weekly basis. Secondly, I communicated with it and convinced that I’m the next successor of the Earth Dragon Immortal, after which it allocated some time for me to prove myself.\"
\"Then after killing the Grand Elder of the Tripartite Alliance and arriving here, I talked with the spirit of the sword and it finally agreed to serve me. I laced a drop of my blood essence on it, making it mine.\"
Princess Isabella didn’t bother to hide the method that she used to tame the spirit of the sword. In any case, this method highly relied on the fact that she was the successor and also powerful enough to wield it.
\"Thanks for the valuable information...\" Davis clasped in hands in respect.
\"Can I talk to the sword spirit?\"
By the side, Evelynn hesitantly asked but there was also visible excitement etched on her face.
Princess Isabella giggled and nodded her head.
She summoned a sharp-edged sword and held the hilt below the dragon’s maw. A speck of light suddenly emerged from the sword and echoed.
\"Mistress, for what reason have I been called out?\" The speck of light spoke in a voice that sounded indiscernible from male or female. It sounded like both, neither high-pitched nor rough.
Evelynn widened her eyes in shock while Davis revealed a similar yet shortened-down reaction.
\"Are you the spirit of this sword?\" Evelynn asked the obvious, a little bit agitated.
\"Indeed, I am...\"
The speck of light answered without sneering at her.
A spirit had replied to her! Evelynn’s face flushed red as she asked, \"W-What is your name?\"
