Chapter 888: Chapter 35: The Bishop Pursues_2
Xuan Yue giggled and said, "Go ahead and choose. Ah Dai said that we are fellow travelers, and though we’re parting, we will always be friends. Consider it a keepsake."
Moon Scar sighed and said, "Then let’s do this, we’ll just take two pieces. One to submit to the Mercenary Guild to complete the mission, and the other as a keepsake. Ah Dai, Miss Xuan Yue, please don’t insist anymore. Even so, we are already feeling quite embarrassed." After saying that, he casually picked up two top-grade magic crystals from Ah Dai’s hand.
Ah Dai hurriedly said, "Brother Moon Scar, this..."
Moon Scar forced a smile and said, "You’re going to rescue the Elf Princess, and you will definitely face many dangers. Keeping these magic crystals might come in handy. Let’s leave it at that. I am a bit tired and would like to rest for a while. You all should rest too." After saying that, he went alone to a corner of the treehouse and started meditating in a seated position. Yue Ji and the two others sat next to Moon Scar, also remaining silent.
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue looked at each other. Ah Dai asked, "What should we do now?"
Xuan Yue spread her hands helplessly and said, "Let nature take its course. Tomorrow, let Brother Yan Shi and the others pick as well. Ah Dai, which one do you want?"
When Xuan Yue suggested that Ah Dai choose a magic crystal, he suddenly recalled the Flame Wizard Goris. It seemed that after agreeing to the Elf Queen to save her daughter and her people, he probably wouldn’t be able to find teacher Goris soon. A strong nostalgia filled his heart, leaving him somewhat entranced.
Xuan Yue, seeing Ah Dai lost in thought, chuckled and said, "Is choosing a magic crystal that difficult? I’ll just take this white one. It contains light system magical energy. I’ll give it to mom when I get back, she’ll definitely love it."
Ah Dai then came back to his senses and said, "I don’t know which one to pick. I’m not sure which type of magic crystal teacher Goris would like."
Xuan Yue thought for a moment and said, "Since your teacher Goris is an Alchemist, he must use magic, right? What kind of magic does he use?"
Ah Dai replied, "Teacher can use black flames, very powerful ones. I once saw him burn a table to ashes with just a bit of magical flame, not even leaving ash behind." Remembering Uncle Li trembling in fear in front of Goris’s magic, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Xuan Yue gently nudged him and said, "What are you laughing at? Black flames? That must be a mix of Fire and Dark Systems’ fusion magic. Being able to use fusion magic, your teacher is indeed quite impressive. Then give him this black top-grade magic crystal. Among these, it probably has the best quality. If your teacher uses it to make a magic artifact, it might greatly improve his magic level." Saying this, she pinched the black magic crystal and waved it in front of Ah Dai.
Ah Dai felt delighted and said, "Thank you, Yue Yue. I hope teacher will be happy when he sees it."
Xuan Yue said, "If he’s not happy receiving such a precious gift, then that would be abnormal."
Ah Dai frowned and said, "Yue Yue, don’t speak ill of my teacher."
Xuan Yue stuck out her tongue and said, "I’m not as important as your dear teacher, huh! I’d like to see him with you someday, whether your teacher has three heads and six arms to make you so devoted to him."
Ah Dai awkwardly said, "You can’t compare like that! Teacher is my elder, of course, I must respect him. Teacher is very good to me."
Xuan Yue pointed at her own cute nose and asked, "What about me? Am I not good to you?"
Ah Dai’s face turned red and he murmured, "Good, you’re also very good to me! Yue Yue, I’m, I’m tired, shall we rest for a while?"
Xuan Yue snorted and said, "Good to you, just not as good as your teacher. Alright, I won’t press you. Just tell me, what did that Aunt Elf give you when she took you away?"
Ah Dai honestly confessed, "Aunt gave me a scroll that can summon their elves. It can be used once, and it lasts for two hours, for us to use when we find their tribespeople. Additionally, she gave me a dragon egg and had me make a contract with it, saying that after it hatches, it will be my friend."
Xuan Yue was taken aback and exclaimed, "What? A dragon egg? She actually gave you a dragon egg?" Although her voice was loud, the others were already meditating deeply and did not hear her shout.
Ah Dai covered Xuan Yue’s mouth and said, "Keep it down, don’t disturb everyone. Being too disturbed can be very dangerous. The dragon egg is inside my Dragon’s Blood; I don’t know when it will hatch."
Suddenly, Xuan Yue burst into laughter, her laughter sounding as pleasant as silver bells. Ah Dai felt awkward and unnaturally asked, "What are you laughing about?"
Xuan Yue barely stopped her laughter and with a spring in her face, said, "You’re so silly. Aunt Elf actually asked you to hatch an egg, doesn’t that make you a dragon mother? Tell me it’s not funny." After saying that, she burst into laughter again.
Ah Dai scratched his head and muttered, "Is it really that funny? I don’t see it." After saying that, he walked to the side of the treehouse and sat down. Xuan Yue moved closer to him and said, "Silly Ah Dai, are you mad? I didn’t mean it, but it’s just too funny."
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "I’m not that petty. Let’s cultivate for a while too; I still feel very tired."
