Chapter 104: Curious Snow Leopard and Gold Digger

Outside the field, Rota's eyes lit up slightly as she murmured:

"My Lord is so amazing that he actually defeated Instructor Sora..."

Phokas looked at Yeats with deep relief in his eyes, and silently put the potion back into his chest.

"Disarmament skills, where did you learn that from?" Hildreth asked with some surprise.

Ye Zhi thought for a moment and sent a message: "A blessing from the King of the Wild Hunt."

"Why would He bless you?" Hildreth was puzzled.

"Maybe... you and I are of the same mind?" Ye Zhi said uncertainly, "Like you and the Black Knight?"

Hildreth thought thoughtfully, indeed, gods also have their own personalities and preferred qualities.

"Like you and the Black Knight, getting anxious as soon as you play chess," Yeats added.

Hildreth looked slightly embarrassed, but said nothing. She nodded and said, "In addition to the disarming skills, your footwork and swordsmanship have also improved significantly. Otherwise, you would not have been able to defeat Sora by surprise."

Hildre crossed his arms and said, "Of course there are still many shortcomings. We can arrange another sword fighting class in the morning to help us review the old knowledge and learn the new."

Ye Zhi's tone changed slightly: "Do you need to practice more?"

Hildreda smiled slightly and looked at Yeats quietly.

Ye Zhi sighed: "I understand."

Before we part, I just hope to stay with Hildreth for a while longer.

…

That night, it was quiet and silent.

The snowy owl perched on a branch, meditating in the moonlight, and magic power was steadily absorbed into its body at a speed that Ye Zhi envied.

The sky was turning pale.

The snow leopard patrolled the forest with cat-like steps, like a curious big cat, tilting its head to stare at a black mole digging a hole.

The black mole buried its head in the ground and dug out a glittering gold coin. It put it next to its long red nose and sniffed it, revealing a happy smile.

At this moment, the black mole caught a glimpse of the snow leopard with a curious face. He froze all over, stretched out his two little paws, and offered the gold coins in a flattering manner.

The snow leopard picked up the black mole, and amid the mole's panicked squeaking, carried it through the forest back to the lord's mansion and brought it back to Yeats.

Yeats looked at the snow leopard outside the door who had just returned from hunting, holding a "big black rat" in its mouth and shaking its tail, with a subtle expression on his face.

"You really brought the mouse home for me?"

At this moment, the black mole in the snow leopard's mouth struggled and said, "Squeak!"

I'm a mole, not a rat!

Yeats recognized its cry, observed it for a moment, and asked in astonishment, "Gold Digger?"

Yeats was amazed that the snow leopard could actually bring back a gold digger.

The gold digging rat is covered with black fur and looks similar to a mole. It will actively dig up shiny things, so it is often tamed by wizards to find treasures.

Due to their habits, gold diggers often bring back unexpected wealth such as gold coins and gems to their owners. They are a very popular magical pet among wizards.

Ye Zhi leaned over and picked up the bamboo rat-sized gold digger. He watched its two little feet kicking in the air and murmured:

"It would be a shame to just eat it like this. If we keep it in the territory, we might even find some windfall."

At worst, it can be used as emergency food, Ye Zhi thought.

The gold digger obviously understood what Yeats said. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Squeak!"

I am not tasty, don't eat me, I will give you the gold coins to eat! Yeats laughed dumbly.

Gold diggers feed on minerals, and gold coins are a delicious delicacy to them, but trained gold diggers will not take the gold coins for themselves.

This creature is not suitable for keeping at home as it will cause irreversible damage to buildings, but it can be used to reclaim wasteland and help loosen the soil.

There is a rumor circulating in the Golden Lion Kingdom that a down-and-out nobleman kept a gold-digging rat, and with the help of the rat he discovered a mineral vein in his territory, and since then he has turned his life around.

This is of course not credible, but it is enough to indirectly prove the treasure-hunting ability of gold diggers.

Ye Zhi held the gold digger in his hand and shook it, saying, "From now on, you will stay in my territory and work. I will provide you with food. Do you agree? Hmm?"

The gold digger was dejected, but when Yeats handed him a gold coin, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It held the gold coin in its two little paws, put it to the tip of its nose and sniffed it, then put it in its mouth and chewed it, looking happy.

Ye Zhi planned to give the gold digger to the goblin Blueberry to tame, after all, forest goblins are born with the ability to tame wild beasts. Once the taming is successful, Morning Frost Ridge will have one more metal treasure detector!

"By the way, how did you find the gold digging rat?" Ye Zhi looked at the snow leopard.

The snow leopard tilted its head and said, "Woo!"

I think a mouse that can dig for gold coins is very novel, and you should find it novel too, so I brought it back to you!

Gold Digger: "Squeak!"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

I told you it's not a mouse!

Ye Zhi: “…”

Snow leopards, like cats, are full of curiosity.

I also like to bring mice back to my owner...

Yeats left the gold digger at Blueberry's place, and her own corgi chased the gold digger all the way, having a lot of fun.

"It looks like this gold digger came to Morning Frost Ridge alone." The little elf scratched his head, thinking, is there any treasure in the territory that attracts it? Ye Zhi said, "The task of training it is left to you, and try to let it discover a new vein for Morning Frost Ridge!"

Blueberry made a face and said, "How dare you think that!"

Yeats smiled but said nothing.

Morning Frost Ridge has not conducted large-scale prospecting work, and there is a large amount of abandoned land to the north of the Great Wall. As long as the territory is expanded, there is a great possibility of discovering new mineral veins.

"Kandela will stay in the territory, I can take the guards to expand the territory."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "This time we will go to Whitefish Harbor, eliminate the monsters entrenched there, and strive to gain the recognition of the Spirit of Nature, so that Whitefish Harbor can be included in the territory!"

"Do you know anything about the natural spirits of Whitefish Port?" Ye Zhi asked Blueberry.

"I seemed to have heard its cry when I flew out of the forest to play before." Blueberry tilted his head and said:

"Like... a manatee's cry?"

Yeats thought, he didn't know whether it was a male or female manatee.

Female manatees have an inextricable bond with mermaids. Sailors on the icy sea sometimes mistake manatees for mermaids through the hazy fog.

In the past, the legend of mermaids originated from dugongs and manatees. Dugongs are animals of the family Dugongidae in the order Sirenia, and more precisely, they also belong to the category of manatees.

Ye Zhi returned to the manor, walked into the study, and said to Grey who was writing at the desk:

"Tomorrow, you will go to Whitefish Harbor with me."

"Oh!" Gray's eyes lit up, "Are you going fishing?"

Ye Zhi knocked on Gray's head: "We are going to hunt monsters!"

"But your words do remind me." Ye Zhi said thoughtfully, "How can I go to the seaside and not go fishing?"

This time, there will be no chance of empty-handedness! Today is short and weak, let me adjust my work and rest Orz (End of this chapter)
