The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 26's

Linley immediately ran over and grabbed the rabbit by the throat with one hand. CRACK IT! The rabbit, who had previously struggled in agony, moved twice, then was silent. Since watching those two battles half a year ago, the 'blood thirst' nature of the Dragonblood in Linley's veins had been in full power.

“I am a warrior of the first rank and a magus of the first rank, but in terms of attack power, my magic is stronger. "Grabbing the wild rabbit, Linley could not help but laugh and breath.

The magus was divided into nine ranks, and becoming a magus of the first rank was easy. But then, it would become much more difficult, and require more time to reach each new rank! Many powerful magi of the seventh or eighth rank would spend hundreds of years and still have trouble reaching higher ranks.

But for the first rank, half a year would be enough for someone talented. Even if one did not possess much talent, as long as they met the basic requirements to become a magus, two to three years would be enough for them to become a magus.

Rabbit in his grip, Linley immediately started running down the mountain.

"Linley, why don't you cook it? Although Shadowmouse will eat raw meat, its favorite is cooked meat. "The Doehring Cowart's voice sounded in Linley's mind.

“Grandfather Doehring, I'm sure you've never persuaded children before. "While running, Linley replied in a seductive voice.

Doehring Cowart was shocked. He had never had grandchildren, and why would a Saint-level Grand Magus like himself bow over persuading the other children?

“Um, no, I haven't. ”Doehring Cowart forced to admit.

Linley confidently said, "I often have to persuade little Wharton. Tell me, if you want to give a child something, you can't give them something too good, right off the bat. Otherwise, in the future, they would expect something really good every time, or something better. Right now, Shadowmouse was chewing on a rock. If I give him raw meat, he will be very happy. I would give him raw meat for seven or eight days, and then I would give him cooked meat. That would make him happier. ”

Doehring Cowart immediately understood.

The older one, the crafter. How could he fail to understand this logic? It was the same method he used in dealing with subordinates. First, give them a little taste, and then give them more later. If you give them too much too early, it will be difficult to satisfy their urges in the future.

“I read about this also in a book about keeping monkeys. 'Saying three in the morning and then raising to four in the afternoon' is much more effective than 'saying four in the morning and then lowering to three in the afternoon'. Linley smiled.

Doehring Cowart suddenly felt that although Linley was only eight, he was not inferior to many young adults.

“It looks like the education method of the Baruch clan is rather effective. “Doehring Cowart quietly sighed with praise. Education can improve one's intelligence, but most commoners do not have access to education. Most commoners were unable to meet the entry requirements or cost requirements for a good magus academy or warrior academy.

… .

None of the Mt. Wushan found it strange for Linley to run home with a wild rabbit in hand. In fact, ever since Linley had learned the 'Earth Spike' spell, he often brought home wild rabbits.

"Young master Linley is very tough. He caught another wild rabbit. "The commoners in the city grinned as they watched it pass by.

Linley also politely smiled back at them as he walked past them on the street.

“I wonder if Shadowmouse will eat something provided by someone else. ”

Taking a deep breath, Linley entered his family home and went to the backyard, and one step carefully, approaching the location where the Shadowmouse appeared, his footsteps making no sound. In a short period of time, Linley returned to his previous position.

"Where's Shadowmouse?" Linley stared at the ancient building, but aside from some rubble and rotten leaves, he saw nothing.

Some stones still showed signs of being chewed, but despite scanning inside the entire building, he could not even see the shadow of Shadowmouse. Linley could not help but feel sad and miserable. "Grandfather Doehring, Shadowmouse is no longer here. It was only an hour. Has it gone? "

A ray of light shot out from the Coiling Dragon Ring and turned into a white-robed Doehring Cowart.

Doehring Cowart also frowned in confusion. "It shouldn't be. It was only an hour. Has he really left? ”

The sudden!

“Crunch, crunch. "That familiar "soft crackling sound could be heard once again. Linley's eyes brightened, and he immediately turned around and headed to the nearby ancient courtyard. Arriving at the entrance, he clearly saw the black Shadowmouse chewing on a stone in one place, motionless. He looked almost like a sculptor, as he chewed each stone into a surprising and strange shape.

Linley stood in the doorway.

The faucet! Linley deliberately let his foot bang on the door and made some noises.

The black shadowmouse immediately moved and in the blink of an eye, appeared over ten meters away. His two merciless eyes stared towards the door, and he immediately saw Linley. His eyes were filled with caution.

“This, this is for you to eat. ”

Linley smiled at Shadowmouse, then threw a wild rabbit in front of the door. Perhaps Shadowmouse could not understand human speech, but Linley understood that an intelligent magical beast should be able to understand the meaning of a smile.

After all, a savage beast was not like a savage beast. Their intelligence levels were only slightly lower than humans, and some powerful magical beasts were extremely cunning.

"Don't rush, don't rush. "Linley kept telling herself, and then forced herself to slowly walk away.

The Shadowmouse saw Linley leave, and then looked at the wild rabbit. He only managed to hold back for a short time, then he rushed like a flash to the door while still staring at Linley now-away. Only then did he see the dead rabbit. Shadowmouse immediately became so elated and so happy that she started jumping around.

"Squeaking, squeaking!" Shadowmouse started to make a happy voice.

And then he immediately started eating the wild rabbit. His sharp teeth were chewing at an extremely fast speed. Although Shadowmouse had a small body, this wild rabbit that was physically larger than Shadowmouse was completely eaten by it, aside from its fur. Even the bones did not survive.

"Yes!" The little shadowmouse made a burp sound, and then, with a very human-like movement, rubbed its stomach, very satisfied.

Compared to stone, raw meat was clearly much tastier.

After finishing his meal, Shadowmouse glanced again at the direction where Linley had gone. Shadowmouse's infant shadow immediately felt a degree of kinship for this youngster. After all, she had just been born, a baby magical beast. Baby Shadowmouse even felt a little anticipation. Will this young man return in the future with another wild rabbit?

The same day, before dinner.

“Think if little Shadowmouse eats it or not. "Linley was currently in the backyard of the manor, and was walking towards the area where he had thrown a wild rabbit before.

"Linley, don't worry. It was just a baby magical beast. It was always very hungry. "The Laughter of Doehring Cowart reverberated merrily in Linley's mind.

Linley nodded slightly. He soon arrived at the doorway, and saw that in the doorway, there were some rabbit feathers covered in blood. But the rabbit's flesh and bones are gone. Seeing this, Linley's eyes immediately shone.

"Great!" Linley clenched his hands.

The first step is success. The only thing left to do is survive!

The next afternoon, Linley killed another wild rabbit as well as a wild chicken. He gave the wild rabbit to Uncle Hiri to prepare dinner, and then threw the wild chicken in the exact same location as he had thrown the rabbit; in the doorway to that courtyard.

“Shadowmouse is actually here looking at me. "Linley chuckled as she looked at Shadowmouse in the courtyard watching him approach.

"Linley, it looks like things are going well. He doesn't run away as soon as he sees you, which means that he doesn't feel much hostility towards you. "After seeing this, Doehring Cowart secretly felt joy for Linley. Linley was really lucky to have met such a powerful juvenile magical beast.

“I really wonder what this young friend's parents are doing. “Doehring Cowart is secretly suspicious.

After placing the wild chicken in the doorway, he said a few words to the young Shadowmouse, smiled, then retreated. But this time, he did not leave, just stood to the side and watched. Shortly after, the young Shadowmouse dashed out. Looking around himself, when he saw Linley's distant existence, he wasn't too afraid. He immediately lowered his head and started eating the chicken.

…

Day three . Fourth day. Fifth day.

This activity continues. Day after day, Linley continued to undergo meditation training while preparing wild rabbits and other animals for the little Shadowmouse to eat. No one in the whole town of Wushan, including Hogg and Hillman, knew that Linley was learning magic. Similarly, none of them knew that Linley was taking care of a juvenile magical beast that already possessed fourth rank strength!

Only Doehring Cowart was aware of this all, as he watched Linley mature.

"There was no way that the small town of Wushan was big enough for Linley. "Watching Linley enter a trance of meditation to practice magic, Doehring Cowart felt a hint of excitement. “Quickly or later, he will bring the adult Violet Shadowmouse and step onto the vast endless stage that is the world of the Yulan continent. ”
