Chapter 1903 Eagle Man
When Ajax saw the Golden Mirror of Exchange shine, he knew it was activating; however, when he checked the amount of Divine Essence of Nature he injected into the Golden Mirror, he was shocked.
'Just to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange, it needs 100,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature?'
Even though the Golden Mirror of Exchange might be a Quasi-Divine Grade Artifact; however, 100,000 units of Divine Essence of Nature was a little bit too much.
'It was not 100000 units of Normal Essence of Nature but Divine Essence of Nature.'
Ajax shook his head as he muttered, 'I wonder how long it would have taken for Aveline to activate this Golden Mirror of Exchange.'
It was because one unit of the Divine Essence of Nature was equivalent to billions of units of the Normal Essence of Nature and Ajax knew Aveline didn't have access to the Divine Essence of Nature.
From this, Ajax could tell that it was not easy for Aveline to activate the Golden Mirror of Exchange again and again with such a huge requirement of Essence of Nature for just activating it.
'Swoosh'
Amidst his thoughts, the Golden Mirror stopped shining and returned to normal; however, this time, there was someone inside the mirror.
It was a human with an eagle beak and he had a halo around his body like a divine being.
"Huh? Who are you? Where is Aveline?"
As soon as he saw Ajax, the eagle-beaked man in the mirror frowned as he asked Ajax about Aveline.
"Does it matter? Since we only have a limited time, let's talk business."
Even though Ajax was not afraid to say that he killed Aveline, Ajax wanted to get a Divine Fruit from the eagle-beaked man.
Thus, he tried to divert the topic and asked the man to talk about business.
"What business? I don't exchange things with strangers."
The Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax and said, "If you want to talk business, ask Aveline to become the spokesperson for you."
"Huh? You want Aveline to be a middle person for us?"
Ajax frowned as he didn't expect the Eagle Man to be so calm and composed with his replies.
"Yes. Unless he is dead…let's not continue our conversation."
The Eagle Man saw Ajax's frown and indirectly asked for confirmation of Aveline's life and death.
'Did he guess that I killed him already?'
Deep down, Ajax felt that the Eagle Man had already figured and that's the only reason why the Eagle Man was asking about Aveline's life and death.
'Wait a second…he had the golden beak and even though Aveline looked completely human except for his golden wings, he was a cultivated eagle-type spirit beast.'
Soon, Ajax thought, 'That means the man in the mirror has a blood relationship with Aveline.'
The Eagle Man was calm and composed regarding Aveline's life and death because he wanted Ajax to think that he had nothing to do with Aveline.
However, Ajax had already figured out that the Eagle Man in the mirror and Aveline were related by blood.
"How are you related to Aveline?"
Ajax didn't answer that the Eagle Man wanted to listen; instead, he asked about his relationship with Aveline.
'...'
When he heard Ajax's question, the Eagle Man was silent for a moment before answering, "He was just a member of my Golden Eagle Race."
"Let's complete the exchange and I will tell you what happened to Aveline."
Even though Ajax got an answer from the Eagle Man, he was not satisfied with it.
Moreover, Ajax knew that once he revealed the fact that he killed Aveline, the Eagle Man would no longer remain calm and composed.
Also, the most important thing was, he would not want to exchange anything with Ajax.
Thus, Ajax said they should complete the exchange before he gives the information that the Eagle Man wants.
'...'
The Eagle Man remained silent as he suddenly glared at Ajax; however, Ajax acted like he didn't see it and waited for the Eagle Man's reply.
"Fine."
Seeing that Ajax was not showing any signs of fear, the Eagle Man controlled his hidden anger and agreed with Ajax's condition.
"Great"
Ajax smiled a little when he saw the Eagle Man nod his head.
"Tell me what you want in exchange for the information regarding Little Aveline."
The Eagle Man no longer bothered to hide his closeness with Aveline as he addressed Aveline with 'Little' while striking a deal with Ajax.
"I want any consumable Divine Grade Fruit."
Without hesitation or embarrassment, Ajax directly asked for what he wanted in exchange for Aveline's information.
Currently, Ajax has lots of cultivation resources and he is confident in getting more cultivation resources by exploring the Celestial Dawn Realm and the Dark Region of the universe.
However, he was not confident in getting his hands on a Divine Grade Fruit.
Therefore, Ajax asked for anyone Divine Grade Fruit in exchange for the information related to Aveline.
"Consumable Divine Grade Fruit?"
The Eagle Man frowned when he heard Ajax's words as he replied, "Are you planning to kill yourself by eating a Divine Grade Fruit?"
"No matter how strong your body is, if you eat a Divine Grade Fruit, your entire body would explode."
The Eagle Man didn't wait for Ajax's reply as he continued, "Also, I can't give away a Divine Grade Fruit so easily. Even in the place I am currency in, it is not easy to get my hands on a Divine Grade Fruit."
"Even if I have one, I will be eating it myself; instead of giving it away…scoff."
In the end, the Eagle Man scoffed at Ajax.
"Huh?"
Ajax frowned at the Eagle Man's words because he didn't expect that even in the Heavenly Bestial Realm, it was not easy to own a Divine Grade Fruit.
Also, when he thought about it, Ajax felt all the points mentioned by the Eagle Man were valid.
"So, if you still want an exchange, change your request."
The Eagle Man gave Ajax a chance to change what he wanted.
"Then, tell me about the Heavenly Realms and what kinds of places they are."
