"... As I was saying the former leader's strength was balanced in all aspects."
"However, the new leader's strength lies in his speed." Prince explains to Miss.
"Speed? So basically no one was just quick enough?" Miss asks.
"Correct. Know that the only person capable in Quas to match its speed is my father." Prince Si says proudly.
"Cough." Sophia in the driver seat coughs loudly.
"... Alright, there are two people..." He says in defeat.
"But, why would anyone try and fail to hunt the leader instead of focusing on getting hundreds of Golden Cores?" Miss asks in disbelief.
"Good question! It's precisely because of the Core the former leader had was Black!" Prince Si says seriously.
"Black Core..."
"Awu..."
Black Core... The most expensive item on the market.
With only one Black Core, you could fund your own country!
"Then...?" It looks like Miss figured something out.
"Yes. Our Quas Empire exists only thanks to my ancestor who obtained the Black Core by slaying the Golden Griffin leader!" Prince Si says proudly.
I see... But, the current leader is Martial Sage rank, right?
There's no way for Martial Sage ranked beast to have a Black Core...
"Although the current leader is not strong enough to have such treasure as Black Core hidden inside him, it definitely holds a White one!" Prince Si says.
"Although the White Core won't bring much riches, it will definitely be helpful for Cultivators of Overlord rank and bellow. It would help Peak Martial Sages to breakthrough into Overlord in one go!" He exclaims happily.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Looks like Prince Si really wants that Core.
Hmm? Is he already a Peak Martial Sage cultivator?
"Hee... that would be certainly useful." Miss says greedily.
"Of course, if my Mei Mei desires it, I will definitely get it for you." Prince Si says seriously.
"Don't talk nonsense, you just told me that no one is able to match the leader's speed. How would you slay it?" Miss asks.
"En. That's why I brought my three brothers and Teddy with me. With their help, we will be able to restrict its movements." Prince Si says.
"Mm? Are they that strong?" Miss asks.
"Brother Marco may not look like it, but he is an Array Master. He will be able to trap the leader in a restricted space after the rest of us surround it." Prince Si explains.
Oh... So Brother Marco wasn't just an ordinary funny person.
He is an Array Master funny person!
It has been around 8 hours since we started traveling, my eyelid is heavy.
"Awuuu~" I yawn while closing my eye.
Thunk!
Something hits the side of the carriage.
"ORAAAA! ATTACK!" A man yells in a loud voice.
"Bandits!" Sophia shouts.
Startled, I open my eye.
Bandits? I must protect Miss!
I quickly stand in order to shield Miss.
"Haa... As expected, we can't have a day without trouble." Prince Si sighs.
"Stay here, I will quickly settle it." Prince Si pushes his hand against my head making me fall back into Miss's lap.
