In the end, Edith spoke hesitantly.
“I’m a member of the Romeo family in the ancient city of Yunras. My companions are also members of the nobility, but they don’t belong to the Romeo family. We came to the Maar Mountains to look for treasures.”
Matthew did not interrupt Edith. This was also what he wanted to know.
He happened to know the location of Yunras City.
It was 6,000 kilometers away from Maar Mountains. With the flying beast carrying them, they would arrive within a day.
Edith continued, “When we first came here, we did not find any treasure. It was not until the afternoon of the fifth day that we encountered… a Tier 1 herb. Unfortunately, a beast that was close to C-rank happened to pass by this place. It severely injured us. Four of my companions were captured by it. Only I escaped.”
Matthew furrowed his brows in deep thought upon hearing this.
Needless to say, Edith must have lied.
Firstly, there were five of them. They should all be D-class Beast Tamers. Even if they encountered a beast that was close to C-rank, they would not have lost so badly.
Therefore, it could be deduced that the mutated beast they encountered was definitely not as simple as C-rank.
Secondly, to a mutated beast, Tier 1 herb was not worth the risk of fighting with five Beast Tamers.
In that case, what they found might not only be a Tier 1 herb, but at least a Tier 2 herb!
Also, if the mutated beast wanted to snatch the herb, it would not choose to capture the four of them but kill them on the spot.
There were… too many suspicious points.
Matthew said coldly, “I need a few things. If you’re okay with them, then I’ll help you save your companions.”
“In addition, these things are not included in the payment,” Matthew added.
After a few moments of consideration, Edith asked, “What do you need?”
“Blood Dragon Demon Crystal’s and Dark Dragon Stone’s powder.”
This matter was too strange. Matthew did not dare to try it without absolute certainty.
It would be best if he could make use of Edith now and let Heber advance to C-rank first.
The Blood Dragon Demon Crystal and the Dark Dragon Stone were both Tier 3 herbs.
But if it was their powder, it would not be so rare.
Many people, especially girls, would bring along the powder of Blood Dragon Demon Crystal and Dark Dragon Stone.
Because they had the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects, they were loved by girls.
Even if a small vial of Dark Dragon Stone was worth tens of millions of copper coins, they would still be willing to buy it.
At first, Matthew had been trying to get Edith to take him to the human city, and that had caused him to forget about it for a moment.
“This…”
Edith hesitated again at Matthew’s conditions.
Although the Blood Dragon Demon Crystal’s and the Dark Dragon Stone’s powder were not rare, these two added could completely offset the thirty million copper coins payment she mentioned earlier.
If Matthew hadn’t mentioned them as being complimentary, Edith would have agreed without hesitation.
But now, with such precious things being gifts, Edith was reluctant even though she was born into a noble family.
“If you’re not willing, then forget it.”
Matthew couldn’t be bothered to argue. Edith wasn’t that important to him.
He would be able to find a human city by himself and obtain the Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal powder in a short period of time.
He was only asking Edith for them because he wanted to go through a shortcut.
Since the other party didn’t agree to it, he naturally wouldn’t force it.
“No, I’ll give them to you!”
Edith immediately panicked.
Compared to her companions, tens of millions of copper coins were nothing.
At most, she would just give a little less compensation after the matter was settled.
Matthew came to Edith and held out his hand. “Take them out.”
Edith’s jade hand searched her belt for a moment, then two small jade bottles appeared out of thin air.
Matthew took one more look at Edith’s belt and knew it was an ornament containing space-time magic that could store many things.
In many people’s eyes, that thing was the standard for the rich.
But that was as far as Matthew was concerned.
Edith handed Matthew two small jade bottles.
He took them and opened the bottle caps.
On his shoulder, Heber smelled the scent in the jade bottles and immediately became excited.
It spread its wings and flew up, circling above the jade bottles. Its sparkling little eyes seemed to be telling Matthew, “Give them to me quickly!”
Matthew revealed a rare gentle expression upon seeing Heber. He gently stroked Heber’s forehead before taking out the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass he had obtained a few days ago.
When Edith saw the glowing Crimson Dragon Divine Grass in Matthew’s hand, her beautiful eyes widened.
“It’s actually… Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass!!!”
Edith screamed inside.
She had never expected that the person who was haggling with her for tens of millions of copper coins would have such a precious herb!
The Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass could be used as a heirloom treasure to worship in their family clan.
Yet, this young man in front of her could casually take it out.
This, this, this…
Edith’s brain short-circuited.
She stopped thinking for a moment.
Matthew didn’t care about Edith’s expression at all, nor was he worried that she would covet it, because the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass would be gone soon.
Matthew sprinkled the powder of the Dark Dragon Stone and the Blood Dragon Demon Crystal onto the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass, making it even more dazzling.
When Heber saw this, it drooled all over the ground, wishing it could immediately devour the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass.
“Here you go, Heber.”
Fortunately, Matthew did not leave Heber craving for too long.
Otherwise, Heber might die from drooling.
Hearing its master’s call, Heber flew forward and opened its mouth.
Matthew tossed the Crimson Dragon Divine Grass into Heber’s mouth.
“Gulp!”
Heber ate the Crimson Dragon Divine Herb in one gulp. It didn’t even bother to chew and directly swallowed it.
However, Heber, who had eaten the Crimson Dragon Divine Herb, showed no reaction. It was as if it had eaten nothing.
This puzzled Matthew. Could it be that there wasn’t enough powder from the Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal?
That’s not right.
Even if the Dark Demon Dragon’s bloodline was more noble than ordinary mutated beast, ordinary mutated beasts could advance by devouring a stalk of Tier 4 Crimson Dragon Divine Grass.
Heber had also consumed the powder from the Dark Dragon Stone and Blood Dragon Demon Crystal. It had completely met the requirements to advance.
A while later, Heber’s body erupted with dazzling divine light.
Immediately after, an endless demonic aura surged out from its body.
Soon, Heber was dragged into the sky by some force.
When it reached mid-air, Heber’s body suddenly grew to thirty meters.
Edith almost fell to the ground in shock.
She also had a beast, but not as large as Matthew’s.
Her beast could only carry her alone.
ROAR!
A high-pitched dragon’s roar came from Heber.
The birds within a radius of five hundred kilometers fled in all directions.
Edith could sense that her beast was afraid!
