After an intense mental struggle, Matthew finally mustered the courage to walk up to Zhang Xing.
Plop! He knelt down!
Zhang Xing was stunned. What was this?
"Master Zhang Xing, please accept me as your disciple!"
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xing almost burst out laughing.
"Brother Matthew, don't joke with me. Besides, I'm only seven years old. My abilities are limited!"
"Master Zhang Xing, if you don't accept me, I'll kneel here and never get up!" Matthew used the common apprenticeship trick.
Zhang Xing smiled gently and said, "Then you can kneel here!"
With that, he rode the Black Dragon and disappeared from their sight.
After waiting for a moment, Matthew stood up dejectedly.
"Sigh!
I missed the opportunity to follow a dragon, but I won't give up. I'll follow him even if I have to travel all over the Shenglong Continent. "
Trace and the others shook their heads helplessly. Matthew was not only a chatterbox, but he was also thick-skinned!
"Alright, let's not waste time. Let's find the magical crystals first and then take the most expensive ones away."
"Brother Trace is right. Otherwise, someone else will come and rob us."
Mei Li started to search for magical crystals as she spoke.
"I found one!"
"I have one too!"
"Haha, we're rich!"
"When we have 200,000 gold coins, we'll go and redeem Captain!"
"But Gaston is already dead. Who are we going to look for?"
"We can't even see the Crown Prince. What should we do?"
"Let's collect the magical crystals first. We'll think of something when we get to the Imperial Capital!"
The few of them sped up and searched the heads of the magical beasts.
"Why do I hear footsteps not far away?" Mei Li focused and sensed carefully.
"I hear movement too!"
The four of them were in different directions and all heard footsteps nearby.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, four groups of people came to the area.
Wick and Bale from the Celestial Star Empire, the four princesses, the Royal Academy of Magic and Force, and others.
Thunderous Battle from the Royal Academy of Magic and Force and others.
There were also two ferocious-looking mercenary groups.
"Haha, Trace, you guys are hogging all the magical beasts here. Why didn't you call out to us?"
"Hmph!
Pu Lin, your Golden Lion Mercenary Group's nose is as sensitive as a dog's. We meet you guys every time! "
Trace stopped what he was doing and stood up.
The other three also gathered towards Trace.
"Trace, you've taken enough. Please leave!"
"Harvey, your Purple Wolf Mercenary Group is meddling too much. If you have the ability, let's fight first!"
Trace had always been at odds with these two mercenary groups, but Golden Lion and Purple Wolf didn't have a good relationship either.
They were all doing this for the development of their respective teams. Sometimes they worked together, and sometimes they were on opposing sides.
"Leave?
How could it be that easy? Leave the magic crystals behind, and I'll consider letting you leave! "
With his hands behind his back, Thunderous Battle walked out proudly.
"Who are you?
You sure talk big. Do you know who I am? "
Pu Lin was thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He was tall and burly and an elementary War Spirit. He had quite a reputation in the mercenary world of the Thunder Martial Empire and was known for his cruelty and ruthlessness.
"I know you're the leader of the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, but do you know who I am?" Thunderous Battle asked in disdain.
After sizing up Thunderous Battle, Pu Lin curled his lips. "Aren't you just the young master of a group of aristocrats from the Royal Academy of Magic and Force?"
"You can still act like a young master in school, but here? Hmph!"
Thunderous Battle shook his head. "Looks like you especially look down on us students?"
"So what? I'm still a little scared of you seniors who came back from the battlefield, but you bunch of kids who haven't even grown hair yet …"
Pu Lin sneered with a look of contempt.
