pEzra kept the mana cube, determined to understand it as it could be very helpful to cultivation.
The remaining mana stones would go into the cultivation of himself, his mother, and his vassals.
'Hmm…'
The snake eggs came to mind.
Couldn't he give one to his mother for nurturing?
'I think a pet would do nicely. But I don't how she views snakes'
There was a possibility she wouldn't like them, but he'd make the effort.
So he took back an egg, keeping two in total.
All was soon settled, leaving Fredrick with more than enough resources for the coming years.
They stared at each other, before Ezra sighed.
At this stage, he was unable to do much, so if Fredrick turned his back on him, he'd lose the entire investment.
Still, at this point, there wasn't anything he could do. He had already revealed too much of himself.
All he could do now was hope Fredrick never became an enemy, or become strong enough to repel him even if he did.
