If asked if Takahide was sorry, he would obviously say that he was very sorry. So sorry that you can dream of this bad experience some time in the future.
When he finds out, Takahide must not only not give up everything, but blackmail Arthur more. She will give Cockatrice and Black Orchid Chicken children in exchange for teaching her daughter for one year!
Only, the rice had become porridge. Although regretful, he was also not the one who licked back his saliva. The man could only stare at Arthur with an expression of heartache. Not only did he feel depressed because of the talent of the young man, but also because of his luck.
“Don't be too depressed, Senior.”
Saying that, Arthur took one of Black Orchid Chicken's puppies and placed it in Takahide's hands. With a serious and dignified expression on his face, he said.
“I'll return this one to you!”
“...”
For some reason, Takahide felt that something was cracking and breaking within him. The man really felt very depressed.
Meanwhile, Arthur smiled at the six chicks. In his eyes, they were all sources of money. Not only money, but also rare and valuable foodstuffs.
“Soon grow large and lay many eggs, Little Chicken. You must contribute in meeting the needs of my refrigerator.”
Hearing Arthur's words, the six newly hatched chickens did not understand at all. They make only small sounds. Arthur smiled gently when he saw them.
‘It's a shame you can't eat chicken. But the problem of eggs in the future was solved. Although only eggs, but the ingredient is still very important for food, right? Yes ... It is still ok.’
If Takahide knew what Arthur was thinking, he would have been furious. The chickens obviously he raised very sincerely like his own son. They all accompanied him for so long, dozens of years. But in the young man's eyes, those cute children were nothing more than eggs and refrigerator filling meat!
“Mong-by the way, do you have any knowledge of this kind of beast, Senior? If only it could not be so far from this kingdom and the fowl. Uh! I mean, whether it's chicken, duck, goose, or bird ... everything's fine!”
Hearing Arthur's request, Takahide became gloomy. He was very clear that the young man would not give up so easily to achieve his strange dream.
“Hehehe~ Are you interested in phoenix existence?” ask Takahide in a joking tone.
Instead of being irritated, Arthur's eyes sparkled. He looked towards Takahide with a serious expression and asked.
“Do you know of his existence, Senior?”
That question was so sincere it made Takahide really confused to have to respond how. He did not expect the young man to take his joke seriously. Just then, he suddenly questioned a question in his head.
‘This boy ... will not intend to roast or steam a phoenix, right?’
Imagining the phoenix boiled by the young man, Takahide was really goosebumps. To many people, an impure phoenix bloodline alone was already considered a pet, a peer, even the family of a cultivator. Yet the young man in front of him .. actually had the thought of capturing and eating the phoenix!
‘This boy is crazy!’
Not just to repay the kindness, but to maintain a good relationship with a great cultivator figure in the future. But the young man was clearly not normal. If he mentioned the existence of the Purple Gale Falcon to Arthur, he would be a very sinful person.
“Do not take seriously. I'm just kidding!”
After saying that, Takahide instantly recalled the existence of a unique being named Silver Duck. Including as a magical creature, strong enough, and difficult to catch. In addition, it is also difficult to cultivate. She herself once wanted to try to take care of him, but felt reluctant due to the creature's unique nature.
Males can live only five years at most. Females are worse. They only live for one year. They will grow up quickly, laying 3-5 eggs. A few days after incubating and incubating the eggs, the female will die.
Although it seems that their numbers can be many, but the number of males and females that hatch is erratic. Not to mention, in nature, they were natural enemies. They are also hunted by humans to be traded at quite expensive prices. Especially for males because the meat is better. In addition, they are very stupid, in contrast to the smarter cockatrice or black orchid chicken that at least has a little intelligence.
Takahide simply did not feel that spreading the news was wrong! Instead, he would save various rarer creatures from the evil foodie hand in front of him!
“Although so, I know a creature named Silver Duck. Them ..”
Hearing Takahide's explanation, Arthur felt that the creature was still difficult to cultivate. But compared to the more bizarre creatures, it was indeed rational easy. Getting a meat supply by slaughtering the brood that finished hatching eggs plus occasionally eating the meat of the famous delicious stud duck, Arthur licked his lips.
“Yes! That's very useful information, Senior! Thank you!”
“Yes. Equally.”
Takahide felt relieved. It seemed that he could keep this young man away from the insane hunt. Only, the man still felt the pain of having to lose two chicks and four chicks black orchid.
The next day, Arthur who was carrying a full load finally left from Takahide's house. Directly make a route to where the person's daughter is!
***
One week later, in the room of a ship that sailed in a great river.
“As expected, the living space is perfect for growing magic plants.”
Out of the living room and back into his room, Arthur felt very satisfied. What was obtained from Takahide four days ago has been planted in ‘kebun’ and is growing well. In addition, he also stopped in the city briefly to make a fairly large and sturdy assembled chicken coop. By paying more, the job is done well. Now the chickens can stay comfortably in the coop without being afraid to damage the plants.
Including with the goods that had to be given to Nanami, now Arthur brought more than half of Takahide's wealth. He could have run away, but having made a promise, he chose to keep it. The young man was confused whether Takahide was so stupid or indeed the people in this world were easy to trust with others. But for sure, he did not want to disbelieve after giving a promise.
After changing his clothes, Arthur decided to leave the room. It's just that, by the time he reached the deck of the ship, he had not expected to meet a person who was very familiar to him. Not only familiar, but familiar with it.
Yes ... Arthur really did not expect to meet his best friend, Michael!
