"So what is the plan?" Avery asked.

By now everything was settled. All three were sitting in triangular position on the ground.

Even after waking up except for first few minutes when she was confused she gradually accepted the situation under Kylo's 'gentle' care.

Nigel just thought [What would be her reaction when she knows the one to chop her was the 'gentle' Kylo himself.]

She never asked any extra questions. It was not like she forgot what they were discussing. Nor was it that she was not curious, since it also included about her hopes regarding the survival of her family.

But she knew they discussed something that should not be known to her. Otherwise they would have let her listen to their discussion.

Even if it is about her family, she was smart enough to not ask about it anymore. For right now the most important thing for her was increasing her strength.

Now they were discussing about how to proceed.

Kylo just muttered one word in reply to Avery's question

"Conquer."

The other two had a confused expression.

Kylo completed what he thought "Conquer this cave."

"Didn't you say you were the master of this cave?" Nigel asked in a confused expression.

"*cough* *cough* Being a master does not mean you own everything." Kylo coughed to avoid embarrassment.

"Hmmm... so what should we do?" asked Avery.

"This cave has three paths to be conquered. I can see two paths through my {Soul Sense} but the last one is just foggy."

"What kind of a master cannot even see his own house?" Avery sarcastically asked.

"*Sigh* you are too young to know about it." Kylo replied with a tinge of pity in his eyes.

Before Avery could retort the red snake asked "You have something in your mind?"

"Yes. As expected of a... snake" Kylo replied with a fake happy express on his face

"..." Nigel just had a blank face as if it did not effect him.

"Tsk boring, little Avery is still the best~" Kylo retorted seeing the black expression on Nigel's face.

"Just come back to the topic." Avery said with a helpless expression on her face.

"Un un, You see at the end of the two paths there is a purple crystal ball.

You have to bring the balls back. I guess these two purple balls are the keys to open the third path."

"Thats it...?" Avery asked with a suspicious voice.

"Yea thats it!!" Obviously Kylo replied with a cheerful voice.

"Tell us about the dangers" Nigel got to the point.

Kylo nodded. Indeed there were few dangers they had to face before taking the purple ball.

Kylo continued "Well there are traps all over the place. You just need to avoid those traps.

There are poisonous gas, arrows..." Kylo took fifteen minutes to explain the traps and dangers of those two paths.

"There are also no living beings in this cave other than three of us. So the only dangers you should face are the ones I mentioned.

But also be vigilant. Maybe I can not see everything what is there ahead. There maybe some unexpected dangers you might face."

They both nodded their heads in understanding.

Nigel suddenly frowned a little and asked "Are you sure there is no living being in this cave other than us?"

Kylo nodded and said "I am sure. I used my {Soul Sense} through the entire cave."

Nigel still had some suspicions.

Avery continued "I also do not think anybody strong enough will willingly stay here. They can just control the cave and get out of here.

So even if there are some living beings, they would not be as strong as us."

Nigel at the end gave up on thinking about this issue.

Kylo then said "Well then... Can you both pick up these crystals for me? Since there are two paths you both can choose one of them."

"What are you going to do?" Avery asked.

"Well I am going to train." Kylo said seriously.

"Train??" Avery asked.

"Yes. I need to get stronger. Right now my cultivation base is weaker than both of you.

After all this cave is just the beginning..." Kylo said while he was observing the cave. But even if he was observing the cave it seemed like he was observing this world. Right now Kylo's body was emitting an aura, A type of aura which can only be obtained by experience and not through training.

An aura of a ruler!!

Both the lady and the snake were a little shaken by the aura. Nigel was not that affected since

[This aura is similar to my Royal Father.] He thought with a pondering expression on his face.

But the same could not be said for Avery. Yes she had a strong background. But that was nothing compared to these two abnormals.

After a moment of silence Kylo retracted his aura and asked both of them "Do you both have any kind of space storage treasure?"

Avery released a sigh once the aura was retracted and she replied "I have few with me."

Nigel just nodded his head indicating he had space treasure.

Kylo.

"Its good. Well on these two paths you will get many treasures. If possible take everything you get on the way, store them and bring them back.

I repeat anything you get, even if you do not recognise anything just bring it to me. They might help us with something unexpected."

"Then what do we get after doing so much hardwork?" Avery suddenly asked in an anticipated voice.

What Avery wanted were cultivation techniques to make herself strong or something that could be used in a fight.

[Hmm? This girl....] Kylo was amused since he read her mind through the contract.

Kylo just leaned in front of Avery, their face just few centimetres away and asked "Then what does my little Avery want?"

Avery was stunned for a moment and her brain stopped working. There had not been many men who were so close to her and even if there were, those people were definitely not anyone of her age.

She asked it just so she can take advantage of the situation and get some benefits from Kylo.

And as expected.

Avery backed out with red face while stuttering

"W-w-w-well I do not n-need anything. I-I am doing it as a m-maid after all."

But Kylo did not give up. "No no no it is very rare for little Avery to ask for reward.

Or is it a reward you cannot speak in front of Nigel hmm?"

"W-w-w-what the h-hell are you saying!?!?"

The more she backed the more he leaned and continued pestering her. In the end she just stood up and started running towards one of the path.

"She is really bad with men hahaha" Kylo laughed as he saw her running.
