Making the Royal land his next destination, Michael left Aragoth before asking Olivia to send a message to the Sunrise sect about his sudden departure. This time Michael didn't mount the pegasus but used his flying sword to soar through the skies with Gaya. Each and every second mattered to Michael, while on his way to the Royal land, he tried to probe the system about a cure for the Baby dragon but the heartless system remained silent, no matter how desperate he was to save his baby dragon.
Although the system bailed on him when he needed it the most, he somewhat felt the system had no choice but to ignore him. He missed the snarky comments, the little interactions with this greedy system, he hoped the badass system would return to its normal state soon.
Good thing he met Oliva at the time when the baby dragon fell ill or he would have been clueless about how to save the scaly bastard. Surprisingly, Gaya took turns in cradling and caring for her frenemy. He could tell that she's missing the baby dragon despite the pointless enmity between them. Her motherly instincts kicked in, making her worry about the baby dragon. Even after houses of non stop flying, she only spoke a couple of times with him, the rest of the time, she cleaned the blood off the dragon and gently poured healing potion into its mouth as well as applied the potion on its greyish scale.
"We'll save you dicky, I promise" when Michael was looking at the distant sky, she whispered in the dragon's ear, she then gently kissed him on the head.
"Hu" the baby dragon startled her by letting out a weak 'hu',
"Human look!" he stopped flying after the sudden shout came from behind, he turned back to see the baby dragon lying in her hands with slightly opened eyes. Michael came to the baby dragon with a loving smile on his face, "keep fighting champ, we'll cure you" he too put a gentle kiss on the dragon's head
The three of them hovered in the sky like a family, she cradled the dragon-like he was her baby while Michael was the big daddy of this small family. He wanted to cherish this relationship with her and the baby dragon.No matter how strong he became, these two would always be his family, if anyone tries to even harm a single hair on their body, he would massacre their entire bloodline.
The fire of healing the baby dragon burned brighter and hotter within their hearts as they resumed flying towards the Royal land where the Emperor resides.
Both of them continued to fly stopping only to replenish the Arch Energy in their body, even Michel wasn't an exception to this. During these small breaks, she did not eat anything, not even a biscuit, this showed how serious she was.
At least something good came out of all this, Michael thought looking at her cradling the baby dragon. After all, there was no real reason for them to fight in the first place, he was a baby while she was a fully grown adult, they didn't have to carry the torch of enmity between the two races.
The baby dragon was acting on his instincts, Gaya on the other hand just hated Dragon for no good reason but he could tell that she's changing, at least she would no longer want him dead.
Eventually, after traveling for five continuous days, they saw the outskirts of a buzzing city surrounded by gigantic walls. Outside the walls, lush green fields, wheat fields that looked like golden blankets, crisscrossing rivers, and small yet charming houses filled the land. What made the kingdom look extremely vibrant and majestic was the ocean behind it, the rising sun painted the blue ocean and the walls with its golden rays, making the city within the walls look like a city made of gold.
However Michael was not in the mood to bask in the beauty, he wanted to get into the city and began searching for this so-called Doctor.
"Flying is prohibited in this kingdom, we have to walk" Time was in the essence but they had no choice, they descended to land on a stone-paved road. Lines of fancy carriages with various flags on top of them, groups of people, and merchant carriages moved towards the gigantic main gate made of silvery metal. The two of them barely attracted any attention as many cultivators like them descended when they reached the outskirts to comply with the no-flying rule.
Michael hated to wait in the line behind all these carriages yet he could not do anything. He might be a mighty existence in the River town but here, he was like a small fish, he realized this factor after noticing numerous Core Formation cultivators going in and coming out of the city.
While moving at a snail's pace, Michael noticed shrieks and cries coming from the merchant carriage in front of him. He looked through the door crack to see green humanoid creatures and vaguely saw a few human faces.
"Slave Traders" Looking at the curiosity on his face, Gaya whispered.
"And those are goblins, nasty creatures" She growled. Since he could do nothing but wait patiently, he decided to ponder more about these Slave traders. If he created a list of disgusting things that needed to be gotten rid of, slave traders would definitely hit the top.
"Tell me about these slave traders, can we buy elves?"
