"Thanks a lot, Elder Barret!" Kristen said excitedly as she felt the changed in her body.
"No need to thank me, Kristen, I can only slow down the progression of your blindness. As for your life,
even the Chief can do nothing to help!" Elder Barret sighed as he heard the gratitude in Kristen's voice.
Then he asked, "Is this the last Royal Sky Guard member you were looking for?"
"Yes, Elder Barret!" Tyson nodded.
"Since I left the choice up to you, I will not ask more about him." Elder Barret nodded, looking at Ricky.
His old yet bright eyes were full of doubts despite his words.
Did he doubt Ricky's loyalty and power, or could he somehow be aware of the human skin mask on
Ricky's face?
At that point, Ricky was naturally feeling awkward, but he still acted very calm. He respectfully said,
"Thank you, Elder Barret."
Elder Barret was an innate spiritual king, but he did not put on airs when he heard Ricky's simple
response. He nodded slightly and replied, "Since you have joined the Royal Sky Guard, please do your
best for us. We all depend on each other."
"Elder Barret, why did you come here?" Kristen suddenly asked.
"After you left for a few days, our informants received intelligence that the forces in the Black Marsh
area were concealing an important message. The leader of the Rats is a beast tamer. But I'm sure
you've already known it by now," said Elder Barret.
"Chief sent me to chase you and tell you to be discreet. Unfortunately, you have already arrived here. I
am afraid it's because of the beast tamer of the Rats that Kristen used the Devil Flame!"
"It is exactly as you say, Elder Barret. The forces in the Black Marsh area deceived us; because of their
tricks, Kristen was injured," Tyson said angrily.
"Do not worry, the Chief has severely punished them," Elder Barret said.
Seeing that Elder Barret was no longer paying attention to him, Ricky breathed a sigh of relief. It proved
that even a lower spiritual king still couldn't see through the human skin mask on his face.
'It seems that this human skin mask given to me by the sect chief is not so simple, ' Ricky thought to
himself.
"I came to the Chaotic Region mainly to bring you something to help you gain a foothold and make
some new progress," Elder Barret added.
"First of all, there are 10, 000 gold coins. It includes 6, 000 gold coins as your main quest rewards. The
remaining four thousand gold coins are development costs!"
As he spoke, Elder Barret took out a storage bag from the storage ring on his hand. He then gave it to
Tyson.
"Also, I want to give you something that could save your life--the innate spiritual ball!"
Elder Barret flipped his hand over so the palm faced up. Three small white balls appeared in the palm
of his hand. After he revealed them he handed them to Kristen, Tyson, and Ricky, one by one.
"Elder Barret, why did the Chief even send such good things to us?" Picking up the innate spiritual ball,
Tyson was delighted but also confused.
Ricky carefully felt the ball and discovered that the so-called innate spiritual ball contained amazing
innate power.
"Is this ball a means of attack?" Ricky doubted that it was because it wasn't something he had ever
heard of before.
Seeing Ricky's doubts, Tyson explained, "Russell, the innate spiritual ball is formed by the spiritual
energy of an innate spiritual king after death. It has both a strong offensive and defensive power.
Each innate spiritual ball can attack or defend three times. Once the innate spiritual ball is motivated,
even a demi-immortal can be seriously injured or even die from its use!"
"What? What a valuable thing!" Ricky sighed with deep emotion.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be so excited. Even at the Sky Manor, I am sure that there are no more
than ten innate spiritual balls!" Tyson said and looked at Elder Barret again.
"Although it's precious, it is more important for you to seize the opportunity of become innate spiritual
kings. So, now you understand how much the Chief really cares about the guard members!" Elder
Barret said.
"Elder Barret, you can rest assured that we understand and appreciate it. We will never disappoint the
Chief. All the power in the Chaotic Region must belong to our Sky Manor," Tyson pledged.
"Tyson, you misunderstand the Chief!" Hearing the words that Tyson said, Elder Barret rebutted him.
"Elder Barret, I don't understand what you mean."
"Listen, what the Chief meant is that the opportunity of becoming an innate spiritual king is fleeting. As
long as any one of you has a chance to achieve it, don't hesitate. Don't worry about bringing it back,"
Elder Barret said.
"If you get it, it means that the Sky Manor gets it!"
"We understand what you mean, Elder Barret!" After hearing that, they answered together.
'I can't believe that the Chief of the Sky Manor has such a broad understanding!' Ricky thought to
himself, 'The Chief is willing to give this opportunity to us completely; not to mention all the resources
provided to help us!
Maybe the Chief of the Sky Manor is the same as Chief Zenith. They are both respectable decent
people it seems!'
After hearing how kind he was treated, Ricky had gained a little admiration for the Chief of Sky Manor.
"Okay, the rest is up to you. If you can't do it, don't put your life at stake. If you lose your life, you really
lose everything," Elder Barret exhorted again.
"We understand, Elder Barret." They all nodded.
"Well, I should leave. Although I am an innate spiritual king, staying here for a long time will get me
detected by the eight demi-immortals here. That would not be good. After all, there is an unwritten rule
that an innate spiritual king should never intervene in matters in the Chaotic Region!"
Pieces of blue ice filled the air around Elder Barret. He disappeared suddenly after he uttered those
words.
"Ha-ha, with these innate spiritual balls, we will be able to dominate the Chaotic Region," Tyson said
excitedly after Elder Barret left.
"Tyson, why are you so excited? If we ever have to use the innate spirit balls, it will be when we are in
a tough spot. The more we need to use them, the more likely we are to fail or be in danger," Ricky said
abruptly, seeing that Tyson was very excited.
"Yes, the most important purpose the Chief had in giving us the innate spiritual balls is to let us save
ourselves! Therefore, we will only use them if we are in danger of failure!" Kristen said.
"Oh...I'm sorry for sounding so rash." Hearing what Ricky and Kristen said to him, Tyson responded in
slight disappointment.
"Now, the Panther Gang is no longer a threat to us. We can start casting weapons tomorrow and
continue to annex the gangs in the Lower Region!" Ricky spoke seriously with a cold light flashing
through his eyes.
"Okay, we can dominate the Lower Region within two months!" Kristen said solemnly.
......
Later, they summoned the remaining members of the Manor Gang. After that disturbance, even with
the three of them, their remaining was less than fifteen people.
They didn't worry too much about it because they believed that it would not take too long to get more
members. They believed that there would be many warriors seeking to join their Manor Gang in near
future.
Then, Ricky distributed some gold coins to each one of their underlings, so that they could buy the
casting materials later.
