Inside the hall, Sofinette had changed into clean clothes, and he sat in his chair, staring at the creature opposite. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

The creature was in a cage, constantly flapping its little wings, trying to break through the cage, but this was not a simple iron cage, but a cage in which Reiner had set up the corresponding magic circle, and it was impossible to escape unless this thing could also magic.

"Penguins?"

Sofinette repeated the name Reiner had told him, still feeling a little incredulous.

"In the far north of Stanlia, in addition to the continuous ice, there is also a vast sea area where these creatures live and feed on the fish in the sea."

Reiner explained that he had found the Skader in the library of the villa. Baptiste's Where Are the Magical Creatures? to turn to the page about the penguin description.

"These birds can't fly, but they are skilled swimmers and more agile than other birds on the ground, and they look like bloated bodies, but they are actually thick fat, and they are adapted to the cold weather of Stanlia to withstand the cold of Dustania."

"Is that so......"

Sofinette looked up and down at the creature, its wings were short, but more like the fins of a fish, which must be able to control its direction in the water, and its two huge feet were also webbed like ducks, making it easy to swim in the water, although at first glance the penguin looked fat, but on closer inspection, its entire body was like a spindle, which could reduce resistance in the current.

"But why are the penguins of Stanlia in Nos, in the south of the continent, and they are still soaking in hot springs, and what is the situation?"

Sofinette thought of the unbelievable scene she had seen earlier, and asked.

"Actually, I was also curious about the hot springs, so I wrote to ask Javier of the Immortal Throne. Lord Rockfield, in his reply, told me that there are many different types of penguins, and that there is one particularly rare species, which, unlike other penguins that live in the cold winters, lives in cold regions but seeks hot springs for a living. ”

Reiner took out the reply he had received this evening and showed it to Sophinet to read.

"This penguin is also called the hot spring penguin, in the past, they are good at finding natural hot springs, relying on the temperature of the hot springs, these penguins give birth to offspring, and gradually develop the habit of soaking in hot springs, due to long-term contact with hot springs, so this penguin is more sensitive to water quality than its peers, in the mouth of the Stanlian people, as long as there are hot springs patronized by hot spring penguins, it is an excellent hot spring."

"So, this is saying that the hot springs in this villa are of good quality?"

Sofinette glanced at the text on the letter, and then at the illustrated book attached to the back of the letter.

"Suffice it to say, at the same time, because of these wonderful habits, the meat of the hot spring penguins is tender and elastic, and there is a fragrance of hot springs, especially the stewed hot spring penguin meat cooked with hot spring water, which tastes excellent, and its fat fat is also quite delicious when grilled, although the people of Stanlia are quite taboo about eating hot spring penguins, but in the underground black market, this is a very sought-after ingredient."

Reiner glanced at the penguin in the cage and whispered.

"In addition, most of the hot springs in Stanlia flow through underground magic veins, and the water has a little magic power, and the hot spring penguins, who have grown up in the hot springs since childhood, have a very high magic affinity for their body materials as spell casting materials, and are also one of the most popular products in the underground black market."

The penguin seemed to understand Reiner's words, and stopped making a fuss, but shivered in the corner of the cage.

"So, this hot spring penguin, shouldn't it be local?"

Sofinette had little interest in eating penguins, and this particular creature made him feel a little jealous even in the cage, let alone cooking.

"Well, Lord Rockfield said that some hot spring penguins were hunted in Stanlia and transported back south for the enjoyment of some wealthy people, and I am afraid that this penguin was captured and escaped from the landing and handover from North Harbor."

Reiner guessed that this was no longer his jurisdiction, and he just needed to tell the local magic association about this information and let them send someone to investigate.

Now the question is what to do with this penguin.

This one is significantly smaller than a regular penguin, and Reiner guesses it must be a juvenile penguin, who was very agitated because he was taken away from his parents, and escaped from the boat to the beach in North, and instinctively found this hot spring, so that he appeared in the backyard of the villa after late at night.

According to the illustrated book provided by Lord Rockfield, the spa penguins themselves are extremely tame creatures, and in Stanleya they can even coexist peacefully with the humans who run spa hotels, and the people of Stanley believe that the presence of hot spring penguins in their homes is a sign of good luck.

"Mr. Sophinet, would you be interested in adopting this penguin?"

Reiner asked, according to the association's general practice, the wild animal may be released into the wild or sent to a specialized ecological research institute for rearing, but the penguin has experienced a long voyage and may not be able to experience another bump in the road for a short time, so it will have to wait until it has recuperated.

With its natural hot springs and private beach, Sofinite is definitely the best place for this spa penguin to recuperate.

"No, no, no, I can't handle this."

Sofinette hurriedly shook his head, he always felt that the penguin had bad intentions towards him, and even in the cage, he was very wary.

"I don't have a ...... here Hey, wait a minute. ”

Reiner wanted to find another way, but it soon occurred to him that the pen he had just built seemed to simulate the living environment of hot spring penguins, and it was worth trying that if he used the hot spring water from Sophinet, he could also enjoy a bath at school.

Hot spring penguins are a special species, and Reiner thinks it has great research value, and it doesn't cost much to keep one at home, which is quite good.

Tomorrow, Reiner is going to the Institute of Magical Biology in North to purchase some magical creatures that are unique to this place as a pen to breed species, so it seems that one more penguin is not a big deal.

With that decided, Reiner looked at Sophinet, which made the women's clothing boss tremble slightly.

"Mr. Sophinet, may I get some of your hot spring water?"

"Huh?"

Sofinette heard Reiner's request and didn't know why.
