Chapter 38 10. I'm an animal tamer
In the evening, in the dining area of Night Overlord Castle, Daxus was eating with relish, but after Walter came back, he didn't even eat and went straight into the room and never came out again.
"Are you Duluqi, or am I Duluqi? That's all you can do."
The next morning, the Black Ark Nagor arrived at Clar Karonde. A welcome banquet would be held at Night Lord's Castle in the evening to welcome Admiral Barnes Baler. The waiters began to set up the banquet under the leadership of Butler Dia.
In the family training grounds, Daquus was beaten all morning, with all kinds of fancy beatings. Kesley used a curved executioner knife, beating him without any resistance. Kesley's steps were simple and efficient. Once he attacked, the curved executioner knife would dance out afterimages, constantly attacking him.
There is nothing much to say about this, just practice. After all, he has undergone hundreds of years of training and often fights on the brink of life and death. It is impossible for Daquus to defeat him as soon as he debuted. That would be like a mule and a donkey singing, but it is outrageous for you, the horse.
In the afternoon, Daxus took Watt to visit the underground breeding room of the Tower of Destruction. His cold lizard died in Lyonness, so he had to choose a new one.
As soon as he went down, he saw the senior animal trainer Jaeger sitting in a daze on the stone bench in the corridor. He only had hair on the top of his head, and he had a pigtail that was even more exaggerated than Kallion's, and the pigtail was directly against the stone wall behind him.
"Good afternoon, Master."
"Good afternoon, Jaeger. Thinking about the next Claw Contest?"
Yeager stood up, sighed, and shrugged.
Darkus understood that Lakas of the Thousand Devouring Clan of Caronde Karl was too prominent. He'd used every possible tactic before the tournament, including drugging, assassination, and negotiation. But during the tournament, there was a tacit understanding that the Witch King was watching with pleasure. Winning and losing were always a matter of turns, but Lakas's appearance had broken that tacit understanding. If Caronde lost the next Claw Tournament, it would be his third consecutive defeat. Even Carrion wouldn't be able to stop him. Jaeger would have to bear the brunt of his losses. His seat on the Council of Hundreds would be at risk, and he might even have to be sacrificed to Anes Lema.
Daxus looked helpless. He was not a tamer, so how could he help?
"Master, do you want to choose a new cold lizard?"
Yeager began to lead the way.
"Yes, pick one for him."
Entering the cold lizard breeding room, Daxus looked at the densely packed cages and asked, "Jaeger, how many cold lizards are there?"
"Master, there are a total of 346 adults and 123 cubs."
"Wow, this can arm six formations."
Darkus was thinking as he walked around. Because he didn't apply any potion, the cold lizard in the cage became very agitated when he saw him. It roared manically and began to bite and hit the cage instinctively.
After circling for a while, Daxus came to a cage and began to examine it. He saw a small cold lizard, its scales a dull gray-green, and a small horn protruding from its head. It was silent in the cage, its head tilted to one side, quietly observing him.
"Hey! Strange, Master! This cold lizard is a hybrid of Hag Graves and Lustria. It's usually the most aggressive here, and even with potions applied, you can't get close to it. It also grows very slowly, and there's something deformed on its head. We're going to get rid of it."
Darkus turned to look at Jaeger in surprise, making sure he wasn't joking. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is the subspecies so rare? Even a high-level trainer couldn't tell? This looks like a giant horned cold lizard from Lustria, right? True, Druzy can barely control a cold lizard, but a giant horned cold lizard might not be able to do that."
Dax turned back to look at the giant horned lizard. The little creature, still quietly tilting its head to look at him, its pupils filled with curiosity. Suddenly, Dax instinctively extended his right hand to the front of the cage, fingers spread wide, and said pretentiously, "Nod if you understand."
The giant horned cold lizard raised its head in surprise, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Darkus was stunned, Walter was stunned, and Yeager was also stunned.
Jaeger trembled all over and said in a daze: "By Anes Lema, by Anes Lema! Master! Master! Are you trying?"
Dacus continued posing and said, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The giant horned cold lizard was stunned again, tilted its head, as if wondering why he asked this again, and then nodded.
Yeager ignored all the Druzicituan etiquette and rushed to the cage. He put on the same posture as Daquus and said, "Nod if you understand."
The giant horned cold lizard turned its head to look at him, as if looking at a hammer, snorted, too lazy to pay attention to him, and looked at Daquus again.
At this time, Dacus withdrew his hand, stood up again, and said, "If you really understand, just make them quiet down! They are too noisy."
About ten seconds later, when Walter and Jaeger next to them thought there was no hope, the giant horned cold lizard let out a loud and sharp roar, and suddenly, all the cold lizards in the entire cold lizard breeding farm became quiet.
"What the hell? Let them get excited again!"
The giant horned cold lizard stared at Dakus blankly, as if he had some doubts. This time, after about half a minute, the giant horned cold lizard roared again.
The cold lizards in the entire farm began to go crazy.
Jaeger looked at Darkus in shock, then reacted, turned around and walked quickly towards the door, saying as he walked, "Master, I'll go report to the young master!"
At this time, Kallion appeared from nowhere and stood guard at the door. The animal trainers in the family were all very smart. Except for the animal trainer in the cold lizard breeding room, no one would come over to watch the fun.
Darkus was also confused and said to the giant horned cold lizard: "Can I ride on you?"
The giant horned cold lizard reacted quickly this time and nodded immediately.
Dacus turned to look at Walter, who was also shocked. He said to Walter seriously: "You know!"
Walter reacted instantly, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Sir, I understand, I understand! I understand!"
Darkus asked a few more questions: "You little bastard, you're a little stunted. Do you like beef? You won't bite me, will you? Can you swim? Can you fly? Can you stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun? Are you male or female? Can I call you Neeko?"
The more questions he asked, the more outrageous they became. But no matter how outrageous the questions were, the Horned Cold Lizard nodded or shook its head, tilting its head and looking at Darkus innocently with its eyes, as if wondering what the hell these questions were.
Darkius was baffled. While untamed Cold Ones were adept at teamwork, applying that slightly stinky musk and they'd treat you as one of their own, despite the obvious differences, showed how clueless these creatures were. But how could direct communication with a Cold One even begin? Could this horned Cold One possess intelligence? Blessed by the Old Ones? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"You are so smart and yet you have wisdom!"
After saying that, Daxus put his hand on the cage. The giant horned cold lizard stuck out its tongue to lick his hand, licking it gently, which was a direct tetanus warning.
Daxus withdrew his hand instantly and looked at the bleeding wound on his palm speechlessly.
The title of the book is wrong, it should be called "My Big Death in Warhammer"
