Chapter 45: Pets
"Can wolves smell prey from a few kilometers away?"
"Two to three kilometers."
Mukai was somewhat impressed, but not so sure.
"Well, if you get it right, the standard answer is 2.4 kilometers."
Pet merchant in canvas hat with a critical expression on his face.
"Next question, what kind of wolf was the earliest wolf that existed on the continent?"
"Dire wolf."
The question was very simple, and Mu Kai answered it casually without thinking.
"Hey, it's okay, we're just buying a pet, do we still have to take an exam?"
Salene complained dissatisfiedly that she and Yana had already tried once before, and there were many questions that could not be answered.
"Hey, you have to understand, it's not easy for us pet merchants to breed these wolves, just like our own children, we need to make sure you really understand them!"
The pet merchant named Martin said with an exaggerated expression, and the dwarf pursed his lips and muttered something in a low voice.
Martin and Yana didn't hear it, only Mu Kai heard it clearly, what she said was: Doing so many things, don't you want to sell more money, thinking that you can deceive us dwarves?
"So, you can sell us the wolf now, right?" Yana frowned, a little impatient.
"And one last question, how can I make my pet grow quickly?"
"Of course, we let the pets fight with us."
The female half-elf couldn't help but roll her eyes, what kind of problem is this, it's just boring.
"Congratulations on answering all the questions correctly and now qualifying for pets."
The pet merchant took out three bracelet-like things and placed them neatly on the counter, one by one.
"You can summon a pet wolf by using this wolf throat chakra, I also have wolf-specific armor and weapons here, as well as special feed, do you need it?"
Pets can assist their owners in battle, and the survivability of equipment is naturally stronger, and the primary equipment is not expensive, so they pay for a full set of pet equipment and wolf feed.
Salene and Yana eagerly summoned their pet wolves, fierce beasts that had become contract creatures and were absolutely loyal to their masters, and they gently touched their owners' calves with their heads, showing an affectionate demeanor that caused the two women to scream excitedly.
Mukai also summoned his own wolf, whose sharp teeth and claws were extremely threatening weapons, but he was unusually docile in front of him and could understand all his commands.
Wolves are very practical pets, and after growing to a certain extent, they can be catalyzed into wolves at the pet merchant, which not only has strong combat abilities, but as a mount, they are also much faster than ordinary war horses.
Because it is a contract creature, it can be summoned at any time and can be repatriated at any time, which is much more convenient than ordinary mounts.
The three of them brought their pets to the hotel where the mercenaries lived, and immediately attracted a large number of mercenaries to watch, and the female dwarf proudly asked the wolf to complete various instructions, and the mercenaries applauded.
"You like to play this too?"
Clounn touched the wolf beside Mukai with his hand, and the wolf bit it, and Cloune quickly withdrew his hand, and the wolf bared his teeth at Clauen and let out a low growl.
"It's pretty fierce."
"I was about to tell you about it."
Mu Kai reached out and stroked the wolf's head and neck, and the wolf was appeased and immediately calmed down.
"Don't think it's a pet raised by noble ladies, it's no smaller than a war horse when it grows up, it's more powerful than those gnolls in battle, and most importantly, it can be upgraded to a wolf through catalysis, this guy is a mount, what are the benefits you should understand?"
"This, I heard today, that the pet traders just successfully conceived, and I didn't hear that it could be upgraded to a mount?" Kaizhe said next to him.
As a magician, he is still very concerned about this matter, if the pet is strong enough, it is okay to use it as a meat shield, the role of the magician is self-evident, if it is really like what Mu Kai said, this pet wolf has a lot of value.
"I have other sources of information on this matter, and it is better not to believe all the words of the merchants, in short, let our people raise one, and let them grow as soon as possible."
The technology of catalysis may or may not have been mastered by the pet traders, but it will soon appear, and even a year or two later, the technology of domesticating dragons into mounts will be circulated.
"Using a giant wolf as a mount is really majestic."
Clone touched his chin and imagined the scene of hundreds of men charging on giant wolves in the flames of war, and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Kai, do I need a room for you?" Ally walked over and asked.
"I still live in Haiyan, I'm used to it, I paid a month's rent for that tower, I can continue to use it, and it feels good to have meetings there."
Although the inn is fairly clean and tidy, it is nothing compared to the best inns in the village of Gurudin, and in this respect, Mukai has always been more picky.
He has always paid for food and lodging out of his own pocket, and he is not afraid that the mercenaries will have opinions, and he has never thought that it is a good quality to share weal and woe with his subordinates, and from a management point of view, a strict hierarchy is very necessary.
"Kai, I'll live with you."
Sarene teased the wolf as she shouted at Mukai.
There was some ambiguity in this sentence, and the mercenaries showed ambiguous expressions and laughed exaggeratedly, and the female dwarf understood the problem in a flash, and she didn't bother to explain it, and snorted disdainfully.
"Cut, boring!"
"I don't live here anymore." Yana said to her brother Yari.
After a while, he added: "It's more comfortable for Haiyan to live." ”
In the end, Mu Kai, Yana, Sarin, and the three of them went to the Haiyan Inn, and Mu Kai invited Kaizhe, but the middle-aged mage refused.
"Fireflies."
On the way to the hotel, Salene said suddenly.
"What?"
Mu Kai and Yana were stunned at the same time.
"Fireflies, its name."
The dwarf pointed to the wolf behind her, who stuck out his tongue and licked her fingers, as docile as a puppy.
"I gave it a name, Firefly, I often heard about it when I was a child, and I only saw it when I came to Gurudin, it was really beautiful, I liked it very much, so that's the name."
The dwarves were expelled by humans to the northernmost part of the continent, where it was cold and snowy, and naturally there were no fireflies, Mu Kai felt a little.
"That's a great name."
Yana didn't think the campfire bugs were out of place with the ferocious wolves, and she began to think about it.
"I've got to think of a name too, what's it called, well, little star, how about this?"
"Little star, yes, I like it too." The female dwarf nodded earnestly.
Mu Kai thought that he didn't know the sex of the two wolves, but he also thought it was funny, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hey, you've got to have a name, too." The female dwarf nudged Mukai's arm.
"Oh, that's it, Wolverine?" Mu Kai suddenly laughed.
"What's that name? Not good! The female dwarf shook her head
"Iron Man?"
"Not good!"
"Huh, little whirlwind?"
"It's okay."
