Arcane Lord

Chateau never expected that the hound Mrs. Patty gave him came with a dog trainer. Did the manufacturer and after-sales service come with it?

He carefully looked at the man with his hair tied back in pigtails. Although his expression was full of sadness and loneliness, and he looked very quiet, he could not hide the wild nature in his bones.

"You want me to take you back to your tribe to participate in the blood trial before you die, so that you are willing to stay and be loyal to me?"

"Yes, Master Mage." The man looked directly at Sha Duo's scrutinizing gaze without fear, "If Master Mage thinks I am useful, then we will sign a sacred contract!"

Xia Duo glanced at Old Owen, who quickly explained: "Sir, this Langas barbarian came here on his own initiative with the people from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce. If you don't want him, you can drive him away."

"Wait a minute." Xia Duo stopped Old Owen who was about to express his merits, looked at the Langas man named Dongzhi and asked, "You just said that you can train hounds. Did you train these three hounds? "

"This -" Dongzhi hesitated a little, as if he was stumped by this question.

Xia Duo shook his head, a little disappointed. It was a blood trial and a sacred contract. This made him think of two words - "fishing for fame" and "self-packaging".

However, he still asked, "My food and accommodation are included here. As long as you work with my subjects, are you willing to stay?"

"Master Mage! You can't insult me!" Dongzhi blushed, and the three gray-white hounds beside him seemed to have discovered the enemy. They arched their bodies, bared their teeth, and let out a low growl of "Woo-Woo" .

"You barbarian, what do you want to do!" Old Owen suddenly stood in front of Xia Duo and scolded, "Don't let these three beasts calm down."

"Captain Owen, don't be nervous, get out of the way."

Hearing Xia Duo's voice, Old Owen immediately bowed and stepped aside. At this moment, Dongzhi spoke:

"Master Mage, although I don't know how to train Langas hounds, ordinary hounds and guard dogs are not a problem. I can guarantee that no one can do it better than me in the land of Netheril!"

Can you really train a dog? Xia Duo was a little surprised, but not too surprised. Strictly speaking, he can train dogs himself and can make the dogs hold the Frisbee and high-five him.

We just want to see how far this Langas man can do it. Is it worth letting him stay? And what exactly is the so-called "blood trial"?

Xia Duo thought about it and proposed a plan, "In principle, I agree, but I want to see your ability, so I hope there will be a trial period before signing the contract, and what exactly is the 'Blood Trial' ?”

"Sir, I know!" Old Owen popped up again, "The barbarian's test is usually to hunt a powerful beast to prove that he is worthy of living. Because many people die, it is also called a 'blood test'. "

Xia Duo nodded, thoughtfully, this trial shouldn't be difficult, but Mage Nese probably wouldn't be willing to participate in any barbaric trial for a barbarian.

Dog training is not a great ability. Aren’t there any Nese people who know how to train dogs? This ability is of almost no use to a mage. There are too many alternative options!

However, this is not the case for Xia Duo. One is that the territory really needs dogs that can guard homes and homes, and the other is that there is an extra labor force.

And the most important thing is that the appearance of this Langas man allowed Xia Duo to discover an important source of population!

It is not easy to introduce the native Nese people to Nese, but it is not necessarily the case for those Langas who need to use their lives to gain a right to survive.

The Nese people think that they are barbaric, but Shado thinks that they are more forced by life and have to be like this.

If you can provide food and accommodation, maybe you can attract a group of people!

It's just that this matter needs long-term consideration. Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile, "Dongzhi, have you thought about it? Are you willing to accept my 'trial period' suggestion?"

Dongzhi was silent. This was the first time he saw a mage seriously considering his contract, and this "trial period"——

If he didn't accept it, he might be detained by the mage or driven away. Dongzhi was not worried about this, but he was worried about missing a possible result, so he decided to give it a try.

"Master Mage, I am willing to accept it!"

"Very good!" Xia Duo nodded with satisfaction, "How many days will it take to teach my soldiers to control these three hounds?"

"Sir, if you just control it, half a day is enough." Dongzhi touched the Langas hound squatting beside her feet with her feet, "They are very obedient!"

"Okay, Captain Owen, stay on the ship for one more day, wait for the territorial soldiers to learn to control the hounds, and then take Dongzhi back to Savile Town with you. Then you can take him to buy some local dogs suitable for training."

"Yes, sir."

…

In the evening, Sha Duo personally went to set up magic security around the camp, called back all the two groups of soldiers, introduced Dongzhi from Langas to them, and ordered them to learn to control the three hounds as soon as possible.

From Dongzhi's further introduction, Xia Duo also learned more about Langas hounds. This kind of hound can hunt wolves collectively in the wild, and can also look after homes and homes at home. It is a good helper for Langas people.

There are even Langas who let their children inherit the name of the family hunting dog.

The three hounds sent by Mrs. Patty were "imported" from Langas and had their own names. However, because they were breeds used for trading, the names were a little hasty and were all based on their physical characteristics. ——

"Grey Shadow", "White Spot", "Snow Claw"!

Gray Shadow's tail is completely gray, White Spot's forehead has a circular patch that is pure white, and Snow Claw's feet are white. Of course, they are all gray-white overall.

When not hunting, it is very quiet, but once it is necessary to hunt, it is full of energy, and its understanding of various commands is also very high. Sha Duo has never seen such a smart dog.

When he was on earth, he also had a dog, but he could only catch Frisbees and give high-fives. However, he had seen dogs on TV walking up stairs on two legs, and even doing various juggling, but he always felt that they were still not as good as Langa. Squirrels are so smart.

After all, those performing dogs have special trainers, and the Langas hounds and Shado's soldiers can easily control them in a short time.

Even some complex commands could be accepted. He even doubted whether there was an intelligent soul living in the bodies of these three hounds.

…

Because of these three dogs, Xia Duo stayed in the camp for one more day and only set out on the return journey on the third day.

In the captain's room of the "Lucky Owen", Xia Duo leaned on the back of his chair, listening to the faint sound of chants coming from the bilge, and became a little worried about the uncertain fate after returning this time.
