921 Past and Origin? (2)
The question made Kai wince.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to return to the palace to consult our king before I can tell you.”
“After all, I’m just a prince who hasn’t read many books.”
Seeing Kai stroking his beard and not feeling embarrassed at all, the group felt that this Prince was unexpectedly nice.
After walking for a while in the city, they got on the camel carriage from the palace.
On the camel carriage, Marvin leaned against the window and curiously looked at the merchants on both sides.
As a businessman, he was already planning to come here to make deals with the residents of the city in the future.
Therefore, he had been taking photos with the Beast Taming Index.
And when they passed by a stall with many large iron cages, Marvin suddenly became excited when he saw the Earth Dragon Beast inside one of the cages.
“Stop, stop!”
After hearing Marvin’s shout, the dog-headed man in charge of driving didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately stopped the carriage. At the same time, he reported it to the prince in front.
Marvin got out of the car and looked at the two-meter-long Earth Dragon Beast in the cage. Marvin was extremely excited.
He hurriedly pointed at the cage and asked the lion man.
“How much is this?”
The lion man looked at the anxious Marvin and the prince’s team, and his huge body couldn’t help but tremble.
Although His Imperial Highness the Prince was usually more peaceful.
However, at such a critical moment, wouldn’t it be bad if he offended these humans who only existed in legends?
Although it was not as smart as the werecats and dog-headed people, it could still think about these questions.
So—
“Esteemed guest, no, it’s free. If you like it, you can take it!”
Hearing this, Marvin was stunned.
The others in the car who were watching the commotion were the same.
Zhuge Qing took the opportunity to use the Beast Taming Index to appraise it—
[Name] Desert Lion Man
[Quality] Blue-quality
[Bloodline] None
[Level] Advanced Level 3
[Skills] Tear Claw Attack, Furious Mode
[Overview] The most common residents in the desert. Legend has it that they are the descendants of humans and lions. They have lived in the desert for generations. Their temperament is slightly irritable, but they are forthright and like to drink.
‘Well, there’s nothing strange about them.’
But this guy was abnormally… smart?!
He actually knew how to give gifts directly.
“There’s no need. Just accept what the esteemed guest has given you. That’s good stuff. After eating it, you can apply to be a guard in the palace.”
Looking at the prince who walked over, the lion man looked at the thing in the human’s hand.
It was a shiny stone.
But his intuition told him that it was a good thing.
If, if he could “eat” it, it would indeed be very beneficial as His Highness had said.
“Then… then I’ll accept it.”
“Thank you, esteemed guest!”
“No need. That’s what I should do.”
Marvin then looked at the Earth Dragon Beast in the cage.
Looking at this Earth Dragon Beast that looked like it had yet to “adult” and was a little dejected, Marvin was not in a hurry to use the blank beast card to subdue it. Instead, he looked at the lion man who was holding the crystal core and continuously studying it.
“How did you catch this guy?”
Hearing Marvin’s words, the lion man immediately said respectfully.
“These burrowing worms like to eat sweet fruits. Generally speaking, as long as you camp at the oasis with sweet fruits, you will find these guys.”
“However, they are very agile, and they only need a few blinks of the eye to burrow into the sand, so we still need to make some traps.”
Just as the lion man was introducing, the Earth Dragon Beast in the cage opened its eyes and looked at Marvin.
Although it looked a little fierce, it looked a little pitiful at this moment.
Marvin suspected that this guy didn’t understand their conversation.
No, he could remove his suspicions.
“Iron Axe, how about lending me two of those sweet fruits?”
Iron Axe grabbed a handful.
He had bought a lot of fruits from the cat girl and her daughter just now.
“Thanks.”
After receiving the fruit, Marvin saw that the Earth Dragon Beast in the cage was looking at him with a longing expression.
“Do you want some?”
The Earth Dragon Beast nodded.
“Then, if you follow me from now on, I’ll feed you every day. How about that?”
The Earth Dragon Beast nodded even faster.
“Then don’t refuse or resist later, understand?”
This time, Marvin’s words were a bit abstract. The Earth Dragon Beast looked at Marvin in confusion.
However, Marvin didn’t say anything else. Instead, he took out a Beast Taming Card from the Beast Taming Index and threw it at the Earth Dragon Beast’s head.
“Don’t resist ~”
The Earth Dragon Beast that was about to struggle heard Marvin’s words, and its twisting body gradually stopped. After a few seconds, it disappeared.
In its place was the pattern of the Earth Dragon Beast on the beast card.
Looking at this magical scene, Lionman, Prince Kai, and his guards were all dumbfounded.
This… The books didn’t seem to have anything written about this!
Kai touched the cat’s ears on his head in confusion.
However, it was also possible that he did not read till this part.
After all, he had only started reading those books when he was old. There were still many books that he had yet to finish reading…
His brother might know what was going on.
He would find out when he asked later.
Marvin didn’t care about these people who were shocked by the beasts.
Instead, he looked at his Beast Taming Index.
[Name] Earth Dragon Beast
[Quality] Purple-quality
[Attributes] Earth
[Bloodline] None
[Level] Advanced Level 2
[Overview] A kind of wyvern-type beast in the desert. They usually live underground and are extremely agile. It takes some effort to catch them.
Looking at this little guy’s information, Marvin was very satisfied.
Although it was smaller than the one he had seen before, as long as he nurtured it, wouldn’t it be fine?
At that time, he could dig out the treasures underground!
Satisfied, Marvin returned to the carriage and everyone once again set off for the palace.
After wandering around slowly for about half an hour, they finally arrived in front of a building that was clearly taller.
This must be the palace.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the palace, everyone saw many people standing at the door.
The leader was a cat beastman about 1.7 meters tall.
His ears were pointed, and his hair was already a little gray. However, he looked quite energetic.
He looked a little benevolent.
In terms of appearance, he looked like the middle-aged version of Prince Kai.
Yes, these cat beastmen were the most human-like existences among the beastmen in the desert.
Although there were many cat characteristics on their bodies, at least they were not like those dog-headed people, lizardmen, or scorpionmen where more than half of their heads had the characteristics of beasts.
“Maybe that’s why they’re royalty.”
“What?”
Zhuge Qing shook her head and did not continue.
“Welcome, human friends from afar. I am the king of the kingdom, Huang Wen.”
After a simple self-introduction, Zhuge Qing looked at the king and asked curiously.
“Your Majesty, I wanted to ask you how long ago your ancestor, the first batch of people, arrived here.”
Hearing this, Huang Wen thought for a moment.
“In the words of you humans, it should have been more than two hundred years ago.”
Hearing the introduction of this “king”, Zhuge Qing and the others were stunned again.
This made Zhuge Qing feel that it was ridiculous.
The large-scale outbreak of mutated beasts only happened decades ago.
More than 200 years ago, that was before the war.
Could it be that there were already mutated beasts at that time?
In the middle of the Beast Taming World’s eruption and the pre-war era, there were still more than a hundred years of chaos. What had happened? Otherwise, it wouldn’t have made someone who had already explored the Beast Taming World fall silent again, right?
However, after thinking about it, Zhuge Qing felt that it made sense.
At that time, academies and mutant academies had already begun to appear.
However, because there was no large-scale outbreak of beasts, the various cities and organizations fought their own battles.
There were also the fewest records of that period.
After all, everyone was busy fighting mutated beasts and humans at the same time…
Who had time to “write a diary”?
