Chapter 1372 - Broke (2) (1/2)
Stella jumped up happily hearing Dyon's words, planting a wet kiss on his cheek. She really was every bit the spoiled little girl she was pretending to be.
”Don't worry Sarid, I won't forget about you.” Dyon chuckled when he saw Sarid sulking in a corner.
”Hey! That's not fair, you already gave him transcendent grade battle axes, he's been flaunting them in front of me for weeks!” Stella pouted.
”Hm,” Dyon pondered for a moment, ”How about this. You're both essence gatherers and more than powerful enough to deal with the rodents, you're just too lazy to.
”We'll do a competition. For every foundation stage rodent you catch, I'll give you a pill of your choice up to the Master Grade. For every meridian formation stage rodent you catch, I'll give you a pill of your choice up to the Grandmaster Grade.
”Foundation stage rodents will be worth 1 point and Meridian Formation rodents will be worth 2 points. You can exchange 10 points for any peak common grade technique I have in my arsenal. You can exchange 100 points for any earth grade technique I have, after all, you'll be saints soon, no?” Dyon smiled meaningfully.
Sarid and Stella looked at Dyon wide eyed. Earth Grade techniques? Even peak common grade techniques were scarce in the Belmont Palace… This Uncle of theirs was too nice.
Seemingly thinking of something, Dyon brought out the twins and the four celestial beast babies.
”Take the Demon Sage Tower with you,” Dyon allowed a miniature tower to appear in Stella's hands. ”You can place the rodents inside of it when you capture them. Don't worry, the tower spirit will handle where they go.”
Stella and Sarid were still standing in a daze, looking from Dyon to the tower and back. They didn't even have eyes for the four baby beasts that suddenly appeared to cling to him.
”Uncle wait!” A familiar voice suddenly filled the hall as Aoife rushed in. ”Let me help too! You'll reward me too, right?”
Dyon laughed. ”The more the merrier. Remember though, the tower can record everything that happens, so don't think of cheating your uncle, okay?”
The three teens nodded yes like pecking chickens, eager to go. By the time Dyon opened his mouth to tell them to be careful, they had already disappeared into the distance, laughing like mad. They didn't even greet Mia and Bella.
”How are you guys?” Dyon asked the twins, fielding the various licks and tugs the baby beasts inflicted upon him. Clearly, they missed him very much.
”We should be asking you that.” Bella said with a pout. You suddenly sent us away so far, so quickly.
