416 A call for help (1/2)
”Huh?” Ajax didn't understand why the second elder was behaving like this but he was sure about one thing that was Erek had some use with the mid-level spirit stone, so he continued, ”If you have some important use, then just forget I even asked,” Ajax replied to the hesitating second elder with a smile on his face.
Since Ajax had got two mid-level spirit stones, he was already satisfied and asked Erek to use that mid-level spirit stone.
”Oh, right! I forgot,”
Just as Ajax said his words, the first elder suddenly spoke making Ajax look towards him.
”Huh? What did you forget, Elder Cretual?” Ajax curiously asked him.
”The second elder can't give his mid-level spirit stone as he had an important use with it. So hope you understand,” Seeing the hesitation of the second elder, the first elder clarified the problem of the second elder.
”Oh, okay elder,”
After looking at the second elder for a second, Ajax nodded his head and didn't ask for the mid-level spirit stone from the second elder.
”Actually, this spirit stone is not mine. I made a bet with the third elder, Kraiww and lost in that bet. So, I have to give this to him,” Mustering all his courage, the second elder finally said the truth about the true reason why he could not give the mid-level spirit stone to him.
”Oh, What kind of bet?”
After hearing the second elder's words, Ajax became interested in their bet.
'Since the bet is huge, then the task must be very big,' After asking them about the bet, Ajax thought in his mind and wondered what kind of thing they bet on.
”Hahaha”
When the first elder heard Ajax's question, he was unable to control his laughter and laughed out loud.
'Huh? Did I just joke? Why is laughing that much?' Ajax puzzled and looked at the second elder, who was completely opposite to the first elder who was laughing out loud.
The second elder was bitterly smiling as he stood up and slowly walked out from the common hall.
”What happened to the second elder?”
Ajax puzzled at the second elder, who escaped slowly as though no one was in the common hall.
”It's because of the bet, he is embarrassed,” The first elder stopped his laughter and started talking about the bet.
”The is about …..,”
”First elder, what are you saying? Did you forget the promise you made?”
Before the first elder could say anything he was he interrupted by the second elder.
”Nothing” The first elder remembered the promise and bitterly smiled before apologizing Ajax, ”Sorry, Ajax.”
”No problem,” Ajax smiled at the first elder and looked at the second before saying, ”Didn't you leave the common hall, second elder?”
The second elder became speechless at Ajax's words and before Ajax could ask any more questions, he dragged the first elder with him.
”By the way, I gave the mid-level spirit stone to Kriaww just now,” Just when they were at the door, Erek turned around and said to Ajax.
”Thanks, second elder,” Ajax nodded his head and moved in the direction that Erek had gone earlier to search for Kraiww.
'Why this second elder became that embarrassed about the bet?' Along the way, Ajax had thought about the bet between Erek and Kraiww but he could not guess about it. So, he didn't bother much time about it.
Soon, Ajax found Kraiww and asked his mid-level spirit stone, which was flatly rejected by Kraiww.
