While saying this, Fangs lowered his head and gently stroked the secret mark on his chest with his fingers, his eyes and tone revealing excitement.

Because this was the first time since she was born that she had not been discriminated against or excluded because of her identity as a werewolf.

They can even walk openly in the sun without worrying about being driven away or killed.

It feels so good to have a powerful and kind master to protect you...

The werewolf girl couldn't help but have such a thought in her heart.

Noticing the other party's reaction that was like "Stockholm syndrome", Zuo Si's face suddenly showed a very strange expression.

Although he could understand how much the beastmen, a marginalized group excluded by civilized society, longed to live like normal people, even if the price was to become someone's private property.

But is it a bit too masochistic to have a strong dependence on the mark that symbolizes the identity of a slave, or even to be grateful to the master who branded the mark? According to modern medical views, this is definitely a mental illness that requires long-term treatment.

But soon, Zuo Si discarded these ideas that suddenly popped up in his mind.

After all, Furen is not Earth, and the two worlds have completely different values.

In Faerun, the relationship between master and servant is widespread.

Even in the homes of holy warriors of noble origin, there would be at least a few male servants or maids.

What's more, he is not a professional psychologist, and he does not have the time and energy to spend months or even years correcting the wrong ideas of a group of little werewolves.

Hearing that his secret mark was useful, Zuo Si immediately continued to ask: "Did you find anything interesting in the pet market?"

Fangs nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! Excluding those ornamental pets and ordinary animals without any special abilities, I saw a small magical beast called Nikalong in the market.

According to the seller, although it looks about the same size as a cat, it has deadly fangs and can be a very good magical pet for mages and warlocks. It is priced at 500 gold coins.

There are also adventurers selling wyvern cubs that have just hatched from eggs, each priced at 300 gold coins.

If you spend another 2,000 gold coins to buy a taming guide, you can train the wyvern as a mount and combat partner."

"Only Nikadragons and wyvern cubs?"

Zuo Si frowned subconsciously, obviously very dissatisfied with these two magical creatures.

Because compared to these messy creatures, he would rather get a pet like a pixie, a pseudo-dragon, a little devil, a quasser, any kind of bat, or a small elemental creature as his magic pet for the wizard profession.

Yes!

Zuo Si, who had just obtained the LV1 wizard level, had already begun to consider getting a slightly better magical pet to deal with potential dangers.

Of course, advanced magical pets like these often require a wizard level of at least LV5, as well as corresponding advanced magical pet expertise.

However, this is not a big problem for him who possesses the [Mind Library].

“There are only two types of smaller ones.

In addition, I also saw people selling wolf cubs and some cats with unknown magical bloodlines.

The latter, when frightened, will hide themselves by changing the color of their fur, like a chameleon.”

Fangus told him everything he had seen and heard in the pet market.

When she mentioned the wolf cubs, her tone and eyes changed significantly.

After all, werewolves are born with the ability to communicate with wolf-like creatures.

As long as he is strong enough, a werewolf can even become the leader of any wolf pack, commanding other members of the pack to assist him in hunting and fighting.

"Okay, I get it. Go have breakfast first."

Zuo Si waved his hand in disappointment, signaling the werewolf girl to leave.

Obviously, the pet market in Port Calin could not meet his most basic requirements for magical pets.

As for "Item Familiar", it obviously had some overlap with the Creator Class's "Awakening Creation" and was abandoned from the beginning.

Realize that you may not be able to find your desired magic pet in a short time.

He quickly picked up one of the spellbooks and began to concentrate on identifying the spells made up of symbols, formulas, notes and codes, so as to distinguish the name and function of the magic.

Only after you have thoroughly identified a magic can you begin to learn and memorize it.

The difficulty of learning first-ring arcane magic is several times higher than that of zero-ring magic, and the number of magic is also far greater than that of zero-ring magic.

So after Zuo Si completed the identification of one ring of magic, he first selected a few commonly used ones.

For example, the [Mage Armor] that can last for a long time; the [Shield Spell] that can create a circular shield invisible to the naked eye and block [Magic Missiles]; the [Grease Spell] and [Sleep Spell] that are essential for controlling the situation; and the [Enemy Preemption Spell] that makes the caster's next attack almost certain to hit...

Zuo Si had already formed his own unique insights on the order in which to learn magic.

With the support of the planeswalker's cards and a large number of magic items, wands, potions, and scrolls, he has no shortage of offensive means.

Just the opposite!

What he lacks are protection and control spells.

After a while, the room was filled with the sound of chanting spells and the occasional flash of magical light.

Because he was so focused, he even had his lunch brought to the room by the soldiers and he just ate a few bites.

This state of obsession with study lasted until the evening, when Apke and his men came to the door in person, and it finally came to an end.

"Sir Soth, we have already got what you want. And tonight, I will have a face-to-face talk with the rat leader. I hope you can prepare in advance."

The leader of the Thieves Guild stated his purpose straight away.

"Oh? You mean... if the talks fail, we should just launch an attack and kill the other party?" Zuo Si showed surprise on his face.

He couldn't believe that the bald fat man in front of him was so decisive. He wanted to cut the Gordian knot and deal with the ratmen in the sewer first.

Apke grinned and nodded, "Yes! According to my investigation last night, I have learned that the leader of the ratmen in the sewer is called Lanny, and he is a believer of Mara, the god of hunting.

This guy is a madman who wants to turn the sewers of Port Calin into his own territory.

He doesn't understand this city at all, let alone the seemingly chaotic but actually orderly rules of warfare between guilds."

"I see. Then I do need to make some preparations. You know, turning those nasty little rodents into usable tools requires a lot of complicated and tedious steps."

After saying that, Zuo Si closed the spell book in his hand, stood up and followed the other party to a secret warehouse where the Thieves Guild used to store stolen goods.

As soon as they walked into the door, everyone heard a sharp squeaking sound coming from inside, as well as the friction sound of teeth gnawing on something unknown.

Through the faint light of the evening, you can vaguely see several huge iron cages filled with black-haired mice of various sizes.

The total number is more than two thousand, and just looking at them gives people goose bumps all over their body.

The big rats in some cages even cruelly bit the small mice to death and were eating the corpses of their own kind with relish.

Even Apke, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! So many rats gathered together, making me feel uncomfortable all over."

"Sir Soth, if you don't mind, can you tell me what all these mice are for?" asked the magic consultant Courant curiously.

"Don't worry, you will know soon."

Zuo Si slowly took out four humanoid skulls, a small piece of liver soaked in a glass container, six humanoid finger bones, a handful of black jade used to guide magical energy, two candles emitting the stench of corpses, and finally a jar of soil from a grave where the dead were buried...

Seeing these horrifying materials, even people who don't understand magic would realize that this must be a magical ritual related to necromancy.
