"I thought you wanted me to heal his arm." Peridot's master stated which shocked the two of them.

"You can do that, Master?" Peridot asked as even she is unable or rather the system itself told Adrian that he cannot be healed.

"Looking at her from my perspective, she can definitely heal my back to full shape. She might incur a penalty for going against the price of providence though." Adrian stated as he can see just how much life energy the dragon lady has.

Adrian could not believe that a living being in the mortal lane could have this much life energy inside of them. The Dragon Lady is overflowing with life energy to the point that it is leaking all throughout the area.

"It seems that your demon friend is good and the item that he needed help with is also interesting. Be glad that you gave my daughter a great gift, demon brat. Or else, I would not even hesitate to blow you not nothingness the moment that you step foot in my territory." The Dragon Lady stated with a smile.

"Why can't they just say that they would gladly help? They have to make it so that they are in the higher position. Seriously, this high-level NPCs are very unique." Adrian thought as he just smiled back.

"But can you really heal him, master?" Peridot asked once again as she did not receive a reply.

"You are very impatient, child. I can heal him but that would make me a bit weak for a few hours or more. Since he said that it is a price, he got from breaking the rules of the world, he must carry it out lest he gains more animosity from it.

I can heal his arm, but the world would just make it more troublesome for him. He would still get punished as he is a demon at that. Their kind has sworn to never go against the flow or else face the consequence.

Have you never wondered why the demons do not change history despite having the ability to do so? Tim Magic might be unstable if travelling in the deep future, but a demon would surely sacrifice their life if the whole world will be destroyed." The Dragon Lady stated as she seems to have an idea of the pact of the demons.

"We do not interfere because we are overseers and caretakers. If we mess around in the world too much using Chronomancy then that would only make reality unstable, and the dark gods would pour in." Adrian stated as he knew that the Dragon Lady would say the same exact thing that he will say.

Adrian could feel that the Dragon Lady is no ordinary Ryujin for she knows things that demons should only know. She also has the same feeling as that of Yinyue that Adrian met. He did not detect this when they met the first time as he was not as perceptive as now.

"Forgive me if the question that I will ask is rather rude butare you a reincarnation of a goddess?" Adrian asked as he wanted to know the reaction of one of the most powerful individuals of the eastern continent.

Adrian slowed down time in his surroundings while speeding up his own time in order to catch the expression of the dragon lady. True to what Adrian has thought, the dragon lady showed signs of shock and then returned to her nonchalant attitude.

"She is definitely hiding something." Adrian immediately thought even before the dragon lady answered his question.

"If you think that way because of my outstanding beauty then I will not blame you. I have been called goddess by my numerous suitors." The Dragon Lady stated as she flaunted that she had numerous suiters because of her looks.

"You do not even have one suiter coming to the mountain, master. It is not good to lie about one's love life to oneself. You might suddenly live your fantasy if such a thing does happen." Peridot stated as she quickly shut down her master's statement.

"Yah! You rude brat! I thought I told you to not burst my bubble like that in front of others. Oh my! That was very uncharacteristic of me." The Dragon Lady stated as she suddenly broke her elegant character persona then returned back to it.

"I think I get why Peridot got chosen by this weird dragon lady. They have the same attitude that it scares me already. It is like I am looking at the future Peridot." Adrian thought to himself as Peridot would usually have this persona when meeting new people.

"Anyways, I will now give you the magic stone. Please do you best in extracting the magic stone, master. If I did the extraction haphazardly then I might actually break the stone." Peridot stated as she can attempt to take the stone out but fear that she might destroy if she makes ma mistake.

"I got it. You are lucky that I spoil you and I treat you as my daughter. Do not worry, demon brat. I will get the stone out for you in about a day. Spend your time here in the courtyard while I will undergo the process of extraction.

Peridot will take care of you since you are her guest. Just make sure that he is not snooping around or else the other Ryujin might think that he is spying on them. If you are lucky then this elemental magic stone might be a Pinnacle Magic Stone." The Dragon Lady stated as she disappeared into the room behind the main hall.

"Pinnacle Magic Stone?" Adrian asked as he turned to Peridot for an answer.

"It is our term for magic stones that have been left untouched and accumulated enormous amounts of energy. It is said to be the last step before the magic stone becomes what others call as the Primal Magic stone which is like a sentient magic stone but that is just stories since no one has seen one." Peridot replied as she showed the courtyard to Adrian.
