"What is going on? Why do you want me to go with you to the Phoenix Master Clan?" Rocky asked confusedly.
"I can only disclose to you the reason once we arrive there," Felicia said seriously.
"If you do not tell me the reason now, I won't go with you. I don't want to have anything to do with the spiritual race," Rocky said.
"You might have heard," Felicia said, after hesitating for a while, "that the Phoenix Master Clan recently got the legendary guardian beast..."
"Yes, what of it?" Rocky raised an eyebrow curiously.
"Although our Phoenix Master Clan has got the reincarnated legendary guardian beast, for some reason, the life of the reincarnated beast is in danger now. I know that your medical skills, Prince Crimson, are superb, and you are also the disciple of the most powerful beast curer in the Wild Spirit Land. I also know that you have already surpassed your master. Besides, it only took you two days to find out the reason for the spirit manipulators' mutation. Therefore, I think you can help us, Prince Crimson..." Felicia said bluntly.
Rocky's interest was piqued by now, thanks to the mention of the legendary guardian beast that the Phoenix Master Clan owned. The mission that the Dragon-shaped Soul Beast entrusted him with was to collect the blood essence of the nine legendary guardian beasts. Therefore, if he went to the Phoenix Master Clan this time, this would be a great opportunity to not only see the legendary guardian beast, but he might just be able to obtain some blood essence from it.
"If you go with me, I will agree to any request you make on behalf of the Magic Phoenix Empire, Prince Crimson." Felicia declared.
"My request is very simple," Rocky said, after thinking for a while. "I hope the Magic Phoenix Empire can form an alliance with the Holy Dragon Empire."
Upon hearing this, Felicia looked to her queen.
"This is not a problem. If you can help the Phoenix Master Clan, it means that you have helped the Magic Phoenix Empire." The queen paused for a while, eyes twinkling. "You can even ask for a granted marriage, to further solidify the alliance." The queen fixed her eyes on Rocky with great interest.
"It's enough as long as we form an alliance," Rocky replied, smiling faintly. "When do we head out?"
"Now," Felicia said abruptly.
Then, she left to make some arrangements. Since only a few were allowed to enter the Phoenix Master Clan's territory, it was decided that the three women would be left here while Rocky went to the clan with Felicia. However, the three were worried about him going there alone.
"Basil, are you saying that the Phoenix Master Clan invited you to cure their legendary guardian beast? Doesn't that sound strange to you?" Sabina couldn't help but ask, her tone filled with concern. It was obviously unreasonable to ask a human like Rocky to cure a disease that couldn't even be cured by the spiritual race.
"Do you think the Phoenix Master Clan may have any other purpose? Maybe it's just an excuse to..." Shirley trailed off, her face wrinkling as her mind raced.
"I won't know until I get there. If it weren't for the legendary guardian beast that the Phoenix Master Clan is guarding, I wouldn't have been willing to have anything to do with the spiritual race. But since there is a chance, it'd be a pity if I let this opportunity slide," Rocky assured them calmly.
Not long after, someone came to guide Rocky to the place where they were to set off.
After bidding goodbye to the three women, Rocky headed out.
Soon, he was taken to a place with flat ground in the west of the royal palace. He saw a huge phoenix beast lying on the ground with several saddles on its back, as if it was a horse.
Felicia and Erica were waiting in front of the phoenix beast.
