"What? Junior, you're not here to buy monsters? You're here to buy rations?" The senior couldn't help but turn around with a surprised expression when he heard Merlin say that.
"Rations?"
"Ah, these are the chickens and ducks raised by the Beast Taming Academy. These are basically used as food for the monsters."
When the senior heard that Merlin was not buying a beast but a chicken instead, he found it interesting. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all the time he had been in the Beast Taming Academy.
"I bought something other than a monster. So I don't need to take back the purchase certificate, right?"
"Of course, but why did you buy the chicken? You're not going to eat it, are you? By the way, I still don't know your name for such a long time. Let me tell you mine first. My name is Luo Jean, and I'm a third-year student at the Beast Taming Academy."
"Leo Merlin, a first-year student at the Alchemy Academy."
When Gene heard the name, he was stunned for a moment and then asked in disbelief, "Fuck, are you from the Leo family? The God of War family of the Dawn Empire?"
ah? Is our family so famous? Merlin was a little stunned. They were actually some kind of God of War family.
"That's not right. Aren't all the members of the Leo family silver-haired?"
"I got my blonde hair from my mom."
Jean showed a look of astonishment and said, "No wonder, no wonder."
"What? Senior Gene knows our family very well?" Merlin was a little surprised.
"Of course, I took the historical relics course. In the modern history of war, the Leo family has left a strong mark in history. After all, they are the God of War family that helped the Dawn Empire expand its territory and defeated countless famous families in the empire."
Gene said, waving the donkey whip in his hand with some yearning, "My dream is to be someone like Leo Roland."
When Merlin heard the name, it seemed like one of his ancestors. He didn't know much about his family history.
"I didn't expect you to be the descendant of an idol family. Then leave the purchase of chickens to me. If nothing else, I still have some face in the Beast Taming Academy." Gene's attitude changed instantly and he was extremely enthusiastic towards Merlin.
Merlin didn't expect that he could still benefit from his ancestors' influence in the Arcane Academy. It was really an interesting thing.
The donkey cart slowly drove into the Beast Taming Academy. The first thing that came into view was the green fields and the carefully cultivated botanical gardens. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and plants, making people feel the vitality and vigor of nature.
The Beast Taming Academy not only studies magical beasts, but also plants, herbs, magical plants, plant-based magical beasts, etc. After all, there are also many magical beasts that are vegetarians.
Walking through the botanical garden, you will see rows of neat animal sheds scattered around. On the road, you can see many cows and sheep grazing leisurely. Several quaint teaching buildings are dotted on the wide lawn, quietly telling the long history and profound academic heritage of this place.
Along the way, many students from the Beast Taming Academy could be seen chasing cattle and sheep, and some were lying on old sows. Several students rushed up in an instant and held down the still moving old sows.
Many students who were milking cows greeted Gene when they saw him coming back on his donkey cart.
"Junior, this is the Beast Taming Academy. Isn't the environment here very good?"
Merlin nodded. "It's said outside that the Beastmaster Academy is dirty and smelly, but it turns out to be false."
Gene was a little embarrassed when he heard Merlin say that. "It's not really true. It was like this when I first came to the Beastmaster Academy. It was only two years ago that the elves came to the Arcane Academy to study, and the Beastmaster Academy became so clean."
The elves are well-known for their love of cleanliness and mysophobia, and they are very close to nature, so it is normal for them to live and study in the Beast Taming Academy.
"Senior Gene, I've been watching here for so long, how come I haven't seen a single chicken?" Merlin was a little puzzled.
Gene pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "They are all grazing on the mountain. The smell of chicken shit is too strong and the elves can't do anything about it. If it's too troublesome to flush it with water magic, it's better to just graze them."
"By the way, junior, what do you want the chickens for? How many do you plan to buy?" Gene asked with some confusion. He asked the same question on the way here, but Merlin didn't give him an answer.
"For eating. As for how many to buy, let's start with 200." Merlin thought for a moment and held up two fingers.
"So you want to eat chickens. Wait, how many did you say? Two hundred?" Gene was dumbfounded when he heard the number and even doubted if he had heard it wrong.
"Yes, two hundred. We only need two hundred for now. We may need more in the future, hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands." Merlin nodded seriously.
Gene was shocked. "How can you eat that many chickens?"
"How is that possible? I just researched a new alchemical formula, and these chickens are the materials for the formula." Merlin rolled his eyes at Gene.
"Junior, although I am a pig farmer, I am not stupid. What alchemical formula can use chicken as an ingredient? I have never heard of it."
“Now that you’ve heard me, I actually use these chickens to make some food and sell it.”
"So that's how it is. I seem to have heard that some chefs use prepared spices in their cooking. I guess you're doing something similar, right?" Gene asked.
"Yes, that's right. Since it's popular, I plan to sell it at school."
"Okay, leave it to me. I'm interested when you say that. I want to know how delicious the chicken you cook is."
Gene waved his hand and told a few first-year students, "Go get two hundred chickens."
One of the first-year students nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he saw Merlin, and then he immediately perked up and walked over quickly, "Brother Merlin, it's really you!"
Brother Merlin? Merlin looked at this first-year Beast Taming Academy student with a strange expression. Who is this person? How come he has no impression of this, but the other party calls him "big brother"?
"Who are you?"
"Brother Merlin, you may not know me, I'm the little brother who brought you the chicken last night!"
Merlin understood, it turned out that he was one of the students who were captured by his classmates.
"What can I do for you?"
"No, no, I'm just too excited to see Brother Merlin. Are you here to buy chicken? Are you planning to make beggar's chicken? That's great. I tasted the butt of the lotus leaf beggar's chicken last night. It tasted amazing! So fragrant!"
Forehead? Do you eat chicken butts too? Merlin knew that chicken butts could be cooked deliciously, but it seemed that he had not processed chicken butts one day...
Merlin shuddered as he looked at the guy in front of him. He was quite a tough guy.
"Huh? Have you ever eaten the chicken cooked by Junior Merlin?" Gene asked in surprise.
"I have, I have. Senior, you don't know how delicious the beggar's chicken in lotus leaf cooked by Brother Merlin is. The taste, wow, I have never eaten anything so delicious in my life."
