20. Baby (repair)

"Actually, in addition to the griffin beast, there is another treasure in the cargo I shipped this time." Charles cleared his throat and said in a voice that only Caselli could hear, "I think you've heard of that mysterious gem that will drive monsters crazy whenever it appears. ”

The directivity was so obvious that Caselli immediately understood what he was talking about just by hearing such a description.

Because of this, Caselli's gaze became even more unfriendly: "You can't be talking about the Evolution Gem, right?" ”

The Evolution Gem is a strange gem that can only be found in the depths of the Magical Forest.

Because this gemstone is found in the magical forest, which is difficult for humans to penetrate, it is not widely circulated among humans, but it is very famous and expensive.

Because there is a legend that this gem has the ability to evolve a monster into a higher-level monster, which is also the origin of its name.

Although no one has ever been able to confirm the authenticity of this legend. But because for a long time, as long as there is an evolution gem, it will attract countless magical beasts to compete for it, so many people believe that this legend is true, plus the evolution gem is also an extremely important alchemy material, so people often pay a high price to buy it.

"Yes, it's an evolutionary gem." Charles confirmed his suspicions.

Caselli said coldly: "Then why don't you take good care of it?" The Evolution Gem can cut off its attraction to Warcraft as long as it is put into a special containment box, right? I think you still have the money to buy a quarantine box, right? ”

"I can't help it," Charles wiped his sweat, "A distinguished guest ordered evolution gems from me, the more you asked for the better, but I got a little more gems than I originally said, and the containers prepared were not enough, and you also know that this kind of containers are generally specially customized, and the space inside is not enough to hold all the gems, and the lord is in ......a hurry."

"So you think you just don't install it and go straight to the road?" Caselli hugged his chest and snorted coldly, understanding Charles's careful thoughts, "That's why you specifically require that this mission must have a fifth-order professional leader." ”

For some reason, the Evolution Gem will only attract Demonic Beasts below the fifth order, and it will not attract higher-level Demonic Beasts at all, so there is no need to worry about high-level Demonic Beasts snatching it, which is also one of the important reasons why people can occasionally bring this gem out of the Magical Forest, otherwise they will be occupied by high-level Demonic Beasts long before adventurers find the gem.

In addition, on the road from Kabia to Corot, although there are many demonic beasts living in the wilderness, there have never been demonic beasts above the fourth order, so Charles feels that it is enough to ask a fifth-order mercenary to guard the safety of the caravan, and the commission for hiring a fifth-order mercenary is less than one-tenth of the evolution gem, Charles is naturally very willing to take risks.

His mind was broken, and Charles could only laugh dryly.

Caselli wanted to stab him a few more words, but just then, there was movement from the blackout brie.

Everyone followed the movement and looked over, only to see that a corner of the blackout cloth was lifted, and two figures, one large and one small, came out of it.

Seeing them, to be exact, the little beast that Izumi was holding, Charles's eyes were straight, and he hurriedly ran over, smiling with the flesh on his face piled together, and he couldn't see his facial features, "Master, this is my griffin cub?" ”

With a proud chin, Izumi stepped forward and carefully raised the griffin cub wrapped in cloth in his arms to show him, and said, "The master said that this griffin cub is not in good health because of premature birth and difficult childbirth, and needs to be taken care of very carefully. ”

"Definitely, I will take good care of it." Charles rubbed his hands and wanted to hug him, this is his precious cash cow, how can he not take good care of it.

Izumi avoided his hand.

Charles's smile froze, and his tone was no longer friendly: "What are you doing here?" ”

Izumi didn't care about his change at all, but said lightly: "The reward you promised the master counts, right?" ”

It turned out to be this, Charles patted his head: "Of course it counts." In his opinion, the ruined griffon was of no use except that the parts on its body were worth a little money, how could it compare to the cub in front of him.

And since this mysterious Warcraft doctor can make the griffin give birth safely and has not been attacked, then he will be a fifth-order Warcraft doctor at the most, if such a person can be befriended, if he has any problems in this area in the future, he can also ask an expert to help.

So his attitude became friendly again.

Izumi didn't see the change in him, and continued, "The master said that it was not easy for us to move with that griffon, so you have to help us get the griffon to Corot, is that okay?" ”

Anyway, it's just a stopper, of course that's no problem, Charles nodded, and planned to pick up the griffin cub again, "You can give it to me now, right?" ”

Izumi still refused, and asked him rhetorically, "What are you going to do with this griffin cub?" ”

Did they take a fancy to this griffin being naΓ―ve? Charles thought he had guessed correctly, "You want to buy this griffin cub?" It's a shame that an adult has already booked a cub for me after knowing that I had gotten a pregnant griffon. ”

If the griffin cub is put up for auction and auctioned, it will fetch a very high price, but the guest who booked the griffin cub to him is a noble person, a great nobleman he cannot offend, and the price offered by the other party is not low, plus he also wants to climb into this relationship, so he agrees to the deal.

"The Master is not trying to buy this griffin cub, but he wants to remind you that it is best not to let it get too close to too many people until that guest comes to pick it up."

"Why?"

This time Charles asked, but Caselli, who had been watching them interact from the sidelines.

He was staring with interest at Izumi and Shanado beside him, but Izumi noticed that the handsome and strong young man was paying more attention to the griffin cub in his arms.

Different from Charles's eyes when he looked at the goods, although his eyes were also very hot, there was more of a curiosity and love in it.

Much like the trainers he'd seen before look at pokemon.

This gaze softened Izumi's otherwise unpleasant mood when facing Charles, and he explained, "The master said that the newborn cub can't open its eyes yet, and at this time it relies on its sense of smell to observe the world, so it's best not to let too many people approach it and confuse its feelings.

If you can let that guest pick it up when the cub opens its eyes, and take care of it personally for a period of time, so that it is familiar with the smell of the other party, then when the cub opens its eyes, if you see him (her) for the first time, it is very likely that he (she) will see him (her) as his or her own relative, so that as long as you have been good to this cub in the future, there will be no monster escape or devouring the master. ”

"What you said is true?" Caselli's eyes lit up, not only for him, but also for many of those present, "Is there really a guarantee that it will obey the first person who sees it?" ”

Raising Warcraft has always been not only a symbol of status, if you can have an obedient and loyal Warcraft, then it is undoubtedly a guarantee of your own strength.

"It's not obedience, it's attachment." Izumi corrected him, "Most cubs have an instinct to be 'do-it-be,' which means that they will regard the first thing they see when they open their eyes as their mother, and attach to and trust it. But if the creature has malicious intentions towards it, this attachment and trust will disappear, and it will become hostile and hateful, so sincerely loving it and being close to it is the best way to make your monster have a good impression of you. ”

Caselli deliberately asked him, "How do I know if what you say is true?" It's not like no one has ever mentioned this way of making cubs loyal and obedient before, but they all failed. ”

Izumi patiently asked, "Then how did they do it?" ”

"Just like you said, stay aside until it opens its eyes, and wait for the cub to see you."

"So before that, were the cubs with the mother?"

"It's ......" Caselli never thought about it.

"As I said before, cubs that don't open their eyes rely on scent to observe their surroundings, and if you're talking about people who remember the scent of their mother beast and suddenly let it leave it, and may have hurt them, then even if they can't see it, the cub will remember the person who hurt them."

"Since it's someone who hurt itself, how can you expect it to get close to each other after seeing it?"

"So, to make it attached and close, first you must not hurt it, and preferably not touch those who have hurt it, and then you take care of it in place of its mother so that it is familiar with you, and as long as you have good intentions all the time, it will surely return the kindness in return."

Caselli stopped talking, and although some of the people present still didn't think so, most of them, especially Carter, showed thoughtful expressions.

Izumi knew that they were listening.

So, he smiled.

This world is not as peaceful as the PM world, the humans here eat Warcraft, and the Warcraft also eat humans, and they are hostile to each other, and he can't change these, but he hopes that the people around him can be better to the Warcraft that was captured and stored as pets.

Because that reminds him of the elves.
