Chapter 121: A Pet Is Needed

Charles wandered the streets of Nasser casually, listening to the street vendors and customers, watching two old friends who suddenly met on the corner chatting enthusiastically, and watching a pair of lovers reluctantly say goodbye through the carriage window.

Charles looked at all this in front of him, and no longer had the previous feeling of "I am from an advanced civilization, and you are all bastard", but a real feeling that he had integrated into this world and become a member of this world.

Charles no longer despises the butcher doctors who use "bloodletting" to treat people, nor does he dislike the ordinary men and women who seem to be well-dressed but smelly all over their bodies, he has recognized the status quo of this world, and since he cannot change this world for the time being, he must work hard to adapt to it.

In fact, the people of Nasser still pay more attention to hygiene than people in other places, at least the servants in Charles's house will bathe regularly, but except for nobles like Olive who have conditions, they can't wash once a day, but they can also do it to the extent that Charles can accept.

There are also sewers on both sides of the main street of Nasser that drain sewage, rather than the medieval scene of the Shire spilling urine directly on the street, which they would even think about.

"Fortunately, this is not medieval Paris, but Paris before modern civilization"

Charles strolled down a side street, looking at the flowers on the balconies of the apartments on either side and the ancient sculptures on the walls, rejoicing that the world had the rudiments of modern civilization, when suddenly he was nearly overwhelmed by the stench wafting from an alley.

Charles quickly added another handkerchief to the masked towel, which toned down the smell of feces and urine, and then walked in on tiptoe.

A few days ago, Charles had asked Roy how he could get a good "pet" and if he was going to hunt it in the forest wilderness.

Roy told Charles not to bother, there was an animal market in the West End of Nacel, where there were many wild animals for sale, and there were often high-quality goods, and the Marquis of Lorraine had chosen a white fox as his pet here in the past.

And those powerful pets that are said to belong to the great hunters are basically unattainable fate, which belongs to the category of unreality.

Although Charles is an extraordinary hunter, he has no need for wilderness warfare for the time being, and there are so many things recently, so he is not in a hurry to get a pet, after all, it is very troublesome to establish a spiritual connection with a beast, and it takes a lot of effort to gain the trust of the animal first, so he can't let Charles sleep with his dog in his arms like Gerson, and breathe mouth to mouth.

However, when Charles passed by Lola this morning, he keenly smelled a hint of blood, and he decided cautiously that he could not be so indulgent with Lola anymore.

In the past, Charles had just come to this world and tolerated her out of prudence, but with the increase in his strength, especially the last revolutionary defeat of the female knight, Charles felt that he had to control her whereabouts and secrets now, and the pet matter was also put on the agenda.

"Good at tracking, good for concealment, the body size should not be too big, you must have enough intelligence, and the head should not be too small......"

Charles thought to himself what he wanted of his pet, and his eyes swept over the various beasts in the alley that hung from poles and were locked in cages.

After a while, Charles decided that the pet merchants in this alley would at least be worth more than a life sentence if they were left in a previous life.

This is not a pet market at all, it should be called a rare and ferocious animal exhibition.

Tigers, leopards, lions and other big cats are available in a variety of colors, all kinds of unnamed birds and beasts or cute and cute, or elves are obediently waiting for guests to choose, as for rhinoceros elephants and the like are not rare at all, and even Charles has seen several large sharks with a body length of five meters in a large wooden tank, and I don't know what kind of taste the master will buy them home to raise and play.

Although the taste in this street is really not so pleasant, but the customers who come and go are not small, the owners of various pet shops and itinerant merchants are shouting hard, wanting to sell their pets as soon as possible, especially those lions, tigers and elephants with big appetites, they have to feed one more day of rations if they stay for one more day, and their own sons can't afford to raise them!

However, there are still a few customers who really like this strange monster, and the most popular pets on this small street are the well-furred hounds, which are sold in a large number of pet shops, and occasionally well-dressed customers will be very expert in their selection.

Charles stopped and listened for a moment, and a pure-blooded northern hound asked for two thousand livres.

"How much is a soldier's pension?

The aristocrats on the mainland have a hobby of hunting, and even have a special hunting season, where they can ride horses and dogs in the suburbs with three or five friends, and experience the excitement and happiness of chasing prey, which is one of the most fashionable social activities of the upper class.

In this level of social situations, horses, weapons, and hounds all need to match their status, and if a nobleman with a prominent status does not have one or two high-end hounds worth thousands or even tens of thousands of livres, he is embarrassed to participate in a friend's hunting invitation, and it can be said that a beloved hound is much more precious than a few servants.

The Charr actually has several hounds, Dogo, Pitbulls, Vizla, and Shaqs, but they are all adults, and it is very difficult to train them to be spiritually connected pets, and they are too large to be used for the task of stealthily tracking the transcendent.

Charles finally chose a pet store that was a little deserted, not because their pets were special, but because their sanitation was better, the store was very clean, and the smell of feces and urine was much lighter than other stores.

And the boss, who was waiting for the guests to come to the door, saw Charles enter the door and immediately greeted him.

"What do guests want to buy?"

The boss was a bald middle-aged man, and he looked at Charles in a masked suit with a little vigilance.

"I want a pet that's good for tracking prey, not too big and not too stupid!" Charles couldn't name so many pets in front of him, and simply said what he wanted.

“”

The bald boss was stunned, and then led Charles inside: "I have some King Charles beagles here, although he is an Englo breed, they are not as rude as those Englos, they are very noble and intelligent"

Charles followed the boss to several wooden cages, and five or six small hounds with long ears immediately stood up and wagged their tails at him, apparently thinking of leaving the place surrounded by fierce neighbors as soon as possible.

"Can this hound chase its prey?"

Looking at the little short legs of the little ones in front of him, Charles really didn't have much confidence that they would be able to catch up with Lola, the transcendent.

"Guest, if you really want to hunt, you still need a strong hunting dog, the Vizla is very suitable for tracking prey, the personality is easy to adjust, and the size is not too big"

The bald boss takes Charles around his shop and gives good advice, but Charles takes an interest in the little guy in the corner.

"Women don't have dogs, men don't have cats, this shouldn't be a cat!"
