Chapter 6: New Members
It seems that this place must be moved today, the boss sighed helplessly, fortunately, half of the goods have been taken off, first serve the customer, and then find a way to deal with it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Bring the cage here, Childe, you have to remember what I said next...... This little thing can't speak, but it understands. It is very cunning, it likes to play some tricks, don't be deceived by its pretense, if you have something, go to someone who knows how to do it, don't deal with it yourself......" The boss took the cage handed by the guy and carefully handed it to the young man, and after telling a bunch of matters, his attention was immediately attracted by the group of soldiers: "Hey...... Ladies and gentlemen, you are light, I will move it myself, and I will not trouble you...... Let's go, let's go!"
The orc traffickers were finally driven away from the main road in the aristocratic quarters, and Rhodes began to walk back with the cage, the novelty of spending so much money on one thing for the first time in his life quickly overwhelmed the little unhappiness just now, and he looked excitedly at the little fox he bought, and at the bracelet that the boss gave him for free - this is the control end of the magic collar around the little fox's neck. The collar cannot be removed without the aid of a specific code magic, and the life trapped by it will be electrocuted when it leaves the sensing area of the bracelet, and the person wearing the bracelet can not only monitor the position of the collar, but also control it to punish it.
The little fox lay at the bottom of the cage and looked at the boy through the iron net, looking weak. Its fur was as white as the first snow, and the tips of each one shone with a faint silver glow, and although it was a little messy, it was clean.
"This is indeed a silver fox man, a special species of white fox people, and the boss either doesn't know how to do it or has no way. Roy left the main road with him, and finally spoke when there was no one around: "If you raise it until you reach adulthood and then sell it to those good nobles, you can sell it for a hundred gold, he is always used to looking for you juniors, your money is easy to make." ā
"The silver fox, alas, sounds very powerful. ā
"It's not too powerful, it's just better...... Also, I can warn you: if you really want this little fox to be good, don't be stupid and take off the collar for him. Roy glanced at the listless silver fox in the cage with a little disdain, and didn't know who to say, "She will definitely run away without the collar, but this is the hinterland of the empire, and it doesn't know how far away it is from its home, and it doesn't have the ability to go back on its own." The consequences of escaping are either to be caught and resold again, or to spend all day eating leftovers in the garbage like wild cats, and maybe being bitten to death by wild dogs one day. ā
Rod thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I won't untie the collar." ā
The siblings chatted casually and then got home, and Rod ran to the garden with the cage in a hurry, and his mother was still leaning on the chaise longue and reading, and only turned her head when she saw him coming.
"Mom, look, isn't this fox's fur a little silver!"
"My God......" The female mage put down the book and sat up, taking the big cage, "You won't spend sixty gold coins to buy a little fox, right?" ā
Roy couldn't help but remind his mother: "This is a fox man, not a fox spirit, mother." ā
"Isn't a fox and a fox spirit alike, does it smell like a fox?" the female mage lifted the cage with some curiosity, and stared at the little thing inside through the iron net.
"Fox odor is the smell of human sweat after deterioration, and foxes sometimes smell because they use stink glands to defend themselves, and they usually don't smell. The girl habitually relayed what she had seen in the book, without any pretense, but out of habit: "And the fox and the fox are not a creature, they do not rely on the smell to protect themselves, they are not so much foxes that can turn into people, but more like a subhuman species that can transform into foxes." ā
"Well, if it doesn't stink. Satisfied with his daughter's answer, the mage opened the cage door and put his hand inside.
"Mom, beware of being bitten!" said the young man nervously, wearing gloves when he watched his boss catch the fox, and there must be a reason for doing so.
"Don't worry. The female mage said confidently, a faint but subtle psychic magic enveloped the little guy in the cage, and the little silver fox felt safe for some reason, and his tense body relaxed, and without resistance, the woman grabbed it out of the cage and curled up in her arms. The Duchess smoothed the messy hair on the little fox's belly a few times, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's tasteless, this little guy is much more beautiful than Da Hei, but why did you buy her back?"
The fat black cat next to him seemed to understand the female mage's words, meowed dissatisfiedly, jumped on the stone table and stared at the fox.
"I think she's pitiful, maybe I'll have a chance to help her find her family in the future. ā
"It's touching. Luo Yi said angrily: "But also, if this 'little vixen' knows gratitude, it won't take a thousand years to 'repay the favor'." ā
"Well, you kid...... The idea is good, but if you really want to help them, it's not enough to redeem yourself. If you want to solve the problem at the root, you have to let the fox people themselves be respected by humans, whether this respect is spontaneous or forced. If there is no buying and selling, there will be no capture. The female mage sighed thoughtfully: "Forget it, if you are not in her position, you will not seek your own government...... It's better than spending it in a casino brothel, and I've said many times that you can't go to that kind of place, you know?"
"I haven't been there......," the young man said innocently, relieved, "If Mom likes it, then this fox will be raised by you." ā
"Snort...... Do I want a little fox?" the woman chuckled, lowered her head and touched a snowball in her arms: "Little guy, in my house, you are not allowed to bite and scratch people, and you are not allowed to run around with things, obediently, no one will hurt you, understand?"
The mage spoke softly, but with an unquestionable majesty and persuasiveness, and the little fox shook her fluffy tail as if she understood, and arched into the mage's arms.
"Okay, let's take it away, it's better to wash it up before letting you in...... By the way, although she is not protected by the law, you can't bully her. Although the female mage looks young like a girl, her interest in new things is not as strong as that of young people, and after a few touches, her curiosity faded, and she took the fur on the back of the little fox and handed it back to her son, and the little silver fox, surrounded by the sense of security created by spiritual magic, did not resist at all, and obediently curled up in the boy's arms, not as cringe as just now.
His mother's attainments in spiritual magic were always surprising, and in a few words the little silver fox was settled, and the boy secretly admired in his heart, and excitedly left the garden with a ball in his arms.
......
"What should I give her something to eat?"
"Foxes are carnivores, but they also eat other things, so there's not much to pay attention to. The girl also walked out, "And this is a fox man, she can eat what people can eat." ā
"That's good, I'm afraid of trouble. The boy excitedly walked towards his lodgings, and on the way he met a young maid who stopped her: "Hey, you, go get me some hot water, I'm going to bathe my fox." ā
