Chapter 517 - 'Like A Dead Log'
Chapter 517 - "Like A Dead Log"
"I-I will take care of Blaze!" The blue elf stammered as he blushed. The elf was already an adult even when in the elf’s age, but his mentality was no different from children.
"I-I...I want to take care of...B-Blaze. S-she likes me...I-I can’t leave her alone..." Axelle mustered all his courage to take the heavy responsibility of raising Blaze.
Somehow, he knew that this was Ainsley’s trick to change his personality, but...but he didn’t mind it at all.
On the contrary, he felt that...Ainsley trusted him so much until she left the precious baby phoenix to him.
I...I can’t let down master’s trust and Blaze’s affection toward me!
Axelle didn’t hate Blaze, who had pure phoenix bloodline but got a wrong mutation to be a water phoenix. If anything, he felt that...the baby resembled him a lot.
Someone with a strange bloodline. Someone not wanted by their own brethren. And someone...pitiful.
But both of them...were waved by the same person...and that person is right in front of them.
Axelle secretly peeked at Ainsley’s happy face and his pointy ears flushed red once more.
Is this what it means to have someone caring for you? A family member...it...it is nice.
Axelle saw Ainsley as his master but also his family, his precious little sister. At the same time, Blaze...Blaze could be his daughter or little sister too..
Three people abandoned by their parents strangely made their way together.
Axelle suddenly felt a sense of responsibility not only toward Blaze but also toward Ainsley.
"M-master...l-leave Blaze to me. I...I will raise her to be the best phoenix in this world...a-and make her race l-lower their head in shame w-when they meet her in the future!"
A strange resolution burned in Axelle’s chest.
Somehow, he wanted to make Blaze proud of herself when she grew up...and not to be someone like him, who could only run away with his tail tucked behind his legs.
No, Blaze should raise her head proudly and trample those who abandoned her when she was young!
Blaze shouldn’t be like me, who can only accept myself as a dirty slave and an unwanted elf...
Blaze should be shining brightly...just like the meaning of her name.
He will raise her to be a brilliant Phoenix that doesn’t need to worry about her weird mutation anymore!
Ainsley looked at Axelle and how the young man was panting hard. Clearly, the young man took a heavy decision yet still did it for Blaze.
Ainsley couldn’t help but smile. "Twank ywou, Axwel. I know ywou can do twis." The baby tip-toed and patted Axelle’d thigh before turning around to leave.
"I leave Blaze in your hand."
The baby’s last sentence didn’t use cutesy language and sounded more serious than whatever she said all these times to Axelle.
The blue-skinned elf gulped and immediately stood up before bowing toward the door.
"T-thank you...I-I will not let down your trust!"
"Hum. Good luck." Ainsley waved without looking back. "If you need anything for Blaze’s growth, just tell me."
"Y-yes...I will..."
Right after that, Ainsley closed the door of Axelle’s lab and went to the garden to see Cellino.
Of course, just now, she visited Axelle wasn’t only to give Blaze to him but also to give the 30% revenue of yesterday’s auction.
Ainsley calculated the price of each item and gave corresponding money or energy crystals to Axelle.
Since the Sloan Family was now the Walter Family’s sworn ally, they also got the right to purchase energy crystals from the Walter Family.
Thus, even when Ainsley’s energy crystal farm was limited, she still could provide enough crystals for her people.
Ainsley went to the garden and met Cellino. She immediately gave him the wind-element enlightenment stone that they got from the potion auction.
[Cell, here. Use this stone to get a new skill. You will become even stronger than now!]
Cellino didn’t refuse the stone and hurriedly took it with both paws. He then put the stone on the grass and meowed.
"Awoooo."
[Thank you, master! I’ll use this well!]
[Hum. You can start training now, Cel. I’ll go find Grandpa Yofan and the others.]
After Ainsley gave Cellino the stone, she went to find Grandpa Yofan and made him drink the Peach Blossom Ravens tea she got from the auction.
The tea could prolong Grandpa Yofan’s lifespan by six months, and that brought joy to the old man.
Of course, Ainsley didn’t stop at Grandpa Yofan. She went around the mansion to use the items she got from the auction.
First, the magic jar could produce unlimited healing water as long as it was powered with energy crystals. Ainsley put it next to her throne in the main hall.
That way, whenever someone was wounded, they could take shelter in the main hall.
It’s also easier to keep an eye on the magic jar since one of the nine generals would always patrol around the main hall.
Next, was...one of the biggest items that Ainsley got from the auction.
The Godzilla.
Ainsley immediately ran to the backfield, and once she’s sure none of the mafia members was training there, she rubbed her dimensional bracelet and inhaled.
Taking out Zilla!
With one thought, the enormous Zilla instantly appeared right in front of Ainsley!
However...something was different from the last time Ainsley summoned her. Last time, Zilla immediately straightened her back and roared to the sky, showing her majestic side.
But now...what’s with this giant slumbering mountain?!
Ainsley was speechless as she looked at Zilla, who was lying on the ground with her back facing the sky.
That’s right.
Zilla...is sleeping like a dead log!
