SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

\'Damn, I saved your life, and what I get is an assignment?\' Kent thought.

Kent was speechless but had no choice except replying with respect, "Just say the word, Matriarch. I \'ll do my best."

"Do you know about the engagement ceremony of the Mintleaf family and the Silver Stokes family?" The matriarch asked with a questioning look.

Kent nodded his head, remembering Lana, who invited him to the engagement.

"For this engagement ceremony, the Mintleaf family brought a golden goose from the powerful Celestial Sun Fire Sect. I want that golden goose." The matriarch paused as she stared at Kent\'s face. He appeared very calm without showing any surprise at her unusual request.

While staring into his eyes, she continued, "My poison clan has internal dealings with the Mintleaf family. So, I can\'t use my clan people for this task. Tell me, can you do this task?" The matriarch asked without moving her gaze.

Kent, who sat on the chair, continued to stare at the matriarch for a long time before opening his mouth. "So, you are asking me to steal the golden goose for you." Kent paused as he put on a thinker\'s pose. "What\'s so special about the golden goose, and what\'s in it for me?" Kent asked with a curious look.

"Didn\'t you already gain enough benefits from the poison god ritual?" The matriarch asked with a deep look.

"You are the one you said it was for saving your daughter. So, that won\'t count." Kent replied calmly while thinking about the matter of the golden goose. Also, until now, he never steeled anything consciously.

"You are really a hard one to sway, Kent." The matriarch smiled as she accessed her storage ring and took out a small black wooden box. That small wooden box is the size of a palm, and the matriarch slowly opened the lid with a mysterious smile.

A golden egg, in the size of a thumb, lay inside the wooden box. "Do you recognize this, Kent?" The matriarch asked with a teasing smile.

Kent immediately stood up from his seat as he recognized that egg. The tail-like pattern passing on the egg really surprised Kent.

"Where did you get this?" Kent asked while staring at the egg with a shocking gaze.

"So, you know what it is." The matriarch smiled and closed the lid.

"One of my ancestors found this egg in the Nine Realm War, which happened hundreds of years ago. But we don\'t know how to hatch it. After years of inquiry, I found that it is a dwarf dragon egg. Sadly, it has been in dormancy for hundreds of years without any change. I will give it to you if you bring the golden goose.

Also, if you don\'t want the egg, you can take any weapon from my clan treasury." The matriarch replied while storing the black wooden box inside her storage ring.

Kent fell into a thought after hearing her reply. Dragons only exist on the abandoned island of the ninth realm. In order to protect their race, the dragon lord banned every other race from holding dragons as pets, and the dragons were also confined to abandoned islands. The last dragon was seen during the Nine Realms War. This is the story known to everyone.

Even after thinking for a long time, Kent did not find anything from the matriarch that was more valuable than the dragon egg.

"Matriarch, you still didn\'t answer my first question. What\'s so special about the golden goose?" Kent asked with a serious look. Kent did not understand why the matriarch is willing to trade a dwarf dragon egg for a goose.

The matriarch smiled at his question. "I don\'t know. Someone above me asked for that goose. You might not know that my poison clan is not a loner. We have a big supporter whom I can\'t reveal to you at the moment. So, tell me, will you take this offer?" The matriarch asked while leaning close to Kent.

\'Gulp!\'

Controlling his blood rush, Kent nodded his head. "Even though I don\'t like stealing, the dragon egg is definitely worth the risk. I believe you will stand by your word." Kent replied as he stood up from the seat.

"Wait…" The matriarch hurriedly called Kent. "Don\'t tell anyone about the antidote. When the time comes, I will offer you a good thing in exchange for the recipe."

Kent paused for a second and nodded his head. The antidote is not enough to outthrow the current patriarch of the poison clan. The matriarch definitely needs a strong warrior who can go against a mortal sovereign magus. That\'s why she wants to hide the matter of antidote for the time being.

"Also, the thing about my daughter..." The matriarch paused to see Kent\'s reaction. Kent turned around to see what the matriarch wanted to say about Maya.

"Kent, you already know that my daughter likes you, right? Don\'t worry, I\'m not going to meddle in your relationship, my daughter. But until you stay in the Eternal Sun Sect, I won\'t allow you to marry her. Did you get it?" The matriarch asked with a serious look. Continue your adventure at мѵʟ

Kent stared into her eyes for a long time, and he smiled mysteriously at the end. Without saying a single word, he walked out of her room.

Thinking about the golden goose, Kent reached his room for the night. "First, I need to find out the use of golden goose." Kent muttered as he stared through the window.
