CHAPTER 332: A Gift for You
At this moment, Fernand looked at Zhao Hai in shock and said, "You're leaving just like that? What kind of magical beast do you have that can carry a person?"
Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "It's a phantom beast. Hehe, don't be deceived by the fact that he carried Shun Yi away. If you were to get on him, he wouldn't be able to carry you. Shun Yi is light, that's why he can carry him; too heavy is not possible."
Fernand rolled his eyes at Zhao Hai and said, "I mean, brother, don't you realize that this eagle is a treasure? Ask anyone across the continent, besides a ninth-level expert, who else can fly in the sky? You should know that flying magical beasts are the hardest to tame. Ordinary people can't tame them at all, and even those who can tame them usually handle only small ones that can't carry humans. Although your Blood Eagle can carry light-weight people, isn't it easy for those big nobles to find some light-weight warriors? If this kind of Blood Eagle could be bred in large numbers, they could form their own air force. If people found out, it would be a big deal. I'm telling you, brother, don't blame me for not reminding you; you absolutely cannot tell anyone about this. By the way, you said this eagle is a phantom beast? Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Can a phantom beast be this big?"
When Zhao Hai heard what Fernand said, he felt a bit of understanding. Fernand's intentions were indeed not bad; he genuinely considered Zhao Hai a friend. Otherwise, if he were to speak about this matter, Zhao Hai would have to change his identity again.
However, hearing Fernand's later words, Zhao Hai couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Why would I lie to you? This really is a phantom beast. How about I gift you one?"
Fernand's eyes lit up at Zhao Hai's words, "Really? That's great! Where is it? Call it over! By the way, your phantom beast is so big, it must eat a lot. Forget it, my little body can’t handle them feeding off me."
Fernand's point was valid. It's known that phantom beasts draw energy from their masters to survive. Given the size of the flying eagle, if it were to feed on a person’s energy, with Fernand's level as a half-baked mage, it might actually drain him dry.
Zhao Hai chuckled at him, "Just feed them meat! Don't tell me you can't even afford meat; then I would have to look down on you."
Fernand asked, confused, "Are you saying your phantom beast eats meat? No way! Is it really a phantom beast?"
Zhao Hai rolled his eyes at him again, "Do you want it or not? Remember, either you feed it meat, or wait for it to go out and find food on its own."
Fernand's eyes sparkled, "Yes! Of course! How could I pass up such a good opportunity? That's great! When will you give it to me?"
Zhao Hai whistled, and another Blood Eagle swooped down from the sky, just as majestic as the previous one. Zhao Hai turned to Fernand and said, "Here you go." He then nodded at the Blood Eagle, which walked over to Fernand and affectionately nudged him with its beak.
Fernand, initially a bit scared of the large beak that glinted like a steel hook, relaxed upon seeing the eagle's demeanor and excitedly stroked the Blood Eagle, which showed no reaction.
However, Fernand then glared at the Blood Eagle and asked, "How am I supposed to take this thing home? I can't just put it on the cart, right? That would be too scary."
Zhao Hai chuckled lightly, "You can let it fly next to you. When you get home, just arrange a place for it."
Fernand happily agreed and pointed at the Blood Eagle, shouting, "Fly!" The Blood Eagle really obeyed him, flapping its wings and taking off.
Fernand laughed heartily, "Good, amazing! This eagle is indeed obedient. I tell you, Wells, you have all these treasures in your hands."
Zhao Hai smiled slightly, "What's wrong with having good things? Just take them. Let's go back. I still need to visit Ibel to discuss the milk wine matter. I originally planned to sell it to him alone, but now Yilin insists on getting some, so I can only sell them a little."
