"It can read and understand what other pets are saying, are you sure?" Brian looked at the administrator in front of him with an incredulous expression.
“Headmaster, I saw it with my own eyes. Emil’s fire spirit found a way to be healed with the help of that slime.”
Can it communicate with other pets?
"I don't know. The only things that are confirmed right now are the Snow Woman and the Fire Spirit."
"You go back first. I'll investigate this myself later. Also, don't tell anyone about this for now!"
"OK!"
Seeing the door already closed, Brian summoned a huge frost wolf, gently stroking its fur, and the big guy let out a series of soft whimpers.
We'll find out tomorrow whether it is or not. If it can truly communicate with pets, then it's very valuable.
Back home, Emil ignored his sister's nagging and went back to his room. He put the fire spirit into the prepared wood spirit liquid and then carefully observed its changes.
Sure enough, the little guy stopped crying and soaked in the water, thoroughly enjoying himself, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.
"It seems I was right after all; that slime really can understand Little Fire. Should we tell Father?"
"Sister, how is Little Fire now?" Angela, the younger sister, ran in and saw the little elf taking a comfortable bath. She squatted down to the side and looked at it carefully.
"Wow, it really is getting better, that's great! Is it because of Ellie and the others?"
After hesitating for a moment, Emil nodded.
"Don't tell your father about this yet. I reckon the principal already knows. Let's see how the school handles it first! But you must try to get along with them in the future; it will definitely help you."
"I understand, sister. I didn't expect that guy to be so amazing. I wonder if it can understand what my little bear is saying. I'll try it tomorrow."
"Your fire bear can talk?"
"Well, that is a problem. I don't care, I'll just give it a try first."
Ellie was unaware that someone else had designs on her pet. She was currently nestled in her small room, counting the number of gold coins she had with her family.
“There are 25, and 87 silver coins.”
"With these gold coins, we won't have to worry about money for a while! Liz, I'll take you to buy a staff this weekend."
"Okay, sister."
"Liz, once you have a staff, you can cast spells. Then, let Lovan practice with you."
"Ellie, light magic hurts a lot when it hits you," Luo Fan said, sounding a little aggrieved.
"Well, you jump so fast, Liz definitely won't be able to hit you."
"Hehe~" Luo Fan squatted in the corner, not wanting to pay attention to his master, but Liz was still hugging his clone and happily kneading it.
He was quite frustrated that none of the magic cores he received this time were of the dark type.
"Aili, hurry up and level up, I really want to go to the dungeon."
Nothing was said that night.
"Hello, Uncle Headmaster!" Ellie looked at the person in front of her, still a little nervous, and unconsciously tightened her grip on the slime in her arms.
"My daughter has grown up beautifully!"
“Ellie, don’t be nervous. I just wanted to confirm a few things with you.” Brian lowered his voice, seeing that Ellie was still a little reserved.
"Can you, this slime, communicate with other pets and understand what they're saying?"
“Well, Uncle Principal, I don’t know either, but Luo Fan is really smart.”
"Let's give it a try!"
Then a giant wolf, about 4 meters long and 2 meters high, appeared in the room, bringing with it a chill that instantly lowered the temperature in the room by several degrees.
Looking at the enormous monster in front of her, Ellie hugged it even tighter.
But then, Luo Fan extended a tentacle and gently reached out. The giant wolf, which had already collapsed, remained unresponsive under Brian's control.
A moment later, Luo Fan pointed to a book not far away, and Ai Li then took action and opened it.
"Unable to...communicate...it...is...too...dumb..."
As soon as Brian finished reading, the giant wolf suddenly stood up and stared at it menacingly, which startled Luo Fan so much that he quickly withdrew his tentacles.
"I'm sorry, Headmaster, my pet didn't mean it."
"It's alright, Ellie." Brian immediately recalled his pet. "So now the only pets it can communicate with are the Snow Maiden and the Fire Sprite?"
"Um."
"Okay, I understand. It might only be able to communicate with humanoid pets. You should go back to class now, Ellie."
"Yes, Principal."
"There are only a handful of humanoid pets in the entire Sacred Heart City, and they are kept very secret by those important figures. I remember that the Third Princess's Water Fairy is humanoid. She seems to be coming to the pet appraisal event in two weeks. Let's try again then."
Brian thought to himself.
If the only people that little guy can communicate with are those specific targets, then his usefulness will indeed be much less. Let's talk to those two families first.
Inside the classroom.
As soon as Ellie sat down, Luo Fan jumped onto Xiao Xue's lap. A moment later, a little elf flew over and sat directly on Luo Fan.
"Fire Rain, how come you've grown so much?"
"Hehe, I've broken through! I'm level 31 now."
Congratulations!
After so many days of learning, Luo Fan has learned quite a bit. For magical beasts, level 30 to 31 is a threshold; after breaking through, they become beginner-level magical beasts. The types of magic they can use will increase rapidly, and their strength will significantly increase.
A level 31 magical beast can easily kill several level 30 counterparts. Moreover, after reaching level 31, they have the opportunity to learn fourth-tier spells, making them as powerful as a high-level human mage, though this depends on talent.
Of course, crossing this threshold is not an easy task. The higher the quality, the higher the lower limit of the threshold and the more conditions are required. The lower the quality, the more difficult it is to reach this level, and the upper limit is not very high either.
Since his last upgrade, Luo Fan hasn't changed at all. Even after consuming a lot of magic cores, his level has barely changed at all—how annoying!
"Why did you come here by yourself? Where is your master?"
"She's in class. I came with Angela; it's too boring to be alone."
"Okay, but we need to read. Can you read?"
"No, can you teach me?"
Well, another one who's just here to coast along.
"Ellie, tell her master that learning to read requires tuition! Never mind, I'll do it myself." After saying this to his master and finding that Ellie didn't react, Luo Fan could only continue teaching the two of them to read, and they got along very well.
Ellie ignored them. During class, she usually blocked out her pet's thoughts. Her grades couldn't drop, or she'd have to pay tuition next semester.
Initially, the tuition reduction came with conditions.
After class, Emil ran over and was very happy to see the three little ones chatting.
Only Angela watched with envy. She had already tried, and her little bear indeed couldn't communicate with that guy.
Then, to Emil's astonishment, her fire spirit pointed to the words on a nearby book.
"To learn...characters...you...must...pay...tuition...".
After reading it word by word, Emil saw that the pets that had been surrounding him had flown to the slime and were now looking smug.
Oh no, my daughter, whom I've raised for so long, has been kidnapped by some scoundrel.
Composing himself, Emil took out a few gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Ellie.
Sure enough, only knowledge-based paid content can make big money, but there are still too few students like that.
Luo Fan glanced helplessly at Alice, who was still somewhat bewildered, and sighed.
If all else fails, how about we just give Emil a good thrashing? That's not impossible, but Xiaoxue is so cute, let's skip it.
