This exotic beast shop was very large, with square iron cages stacked on the left and right sides, inside of which were small or medium-sized pets of different shapes and colors.
Although there were many animals, there was no odor in this shop, only a peculiar medicinal fragrance.
Roland guessed that it was this medicinal fragrance that covered up the body odor of those exotic beasts.
Moreover, these cages were very clean. Presumably, they were often taken care of.
Entering the shop, Roland found a lot of strange exotic beasts.
Rabbits with long horns, lizards with a cluster of fiery feathers on their foreheads, strange birds with six legs that looked like platypuses, and so on.
Vivian pointed to the many exotic beasts in the shop and said, "Deputy Chairman, take whichever you like, I'll give it to you."
The attendant in the shop had already recognized Vivian as a young lady and stood casually to the side, waiting for her orders.
Roland walked around the shop. He wasn't really interested in what kind of pet to contract, he just wanted to find a magic pet that the players on the forum hadn't contracted yet, and at the same time learn about its abilities and skills.
"Help me choose one."
Roland looked around and found that there were indeed a wide variety of exotic beasts, almost all of which the players on the forum hadn't contracted yet, and spellcasters only had one chance to contract a magic pet, so there was no difference in choosing one.
He felt that it didn't matter which one he chose.
But Vivian didn't see it that way. Contracting a magic pet was quite important, even sacred, for NPC Mages like them.
Outsiders generally wouldn't know what kind of magic pet they chose and what kind of abilities it would have.
And Roland had left such an important matter to Vivian to choose.
What did this mean?
He trusted her very much.
Vivian's eyes became watery at once, and she took Roland's hand again. "These exotic beasts are all very ordinary. Come, let's go to my house, and I'll give you White Amber."
White Amber?
Vivian's home was in the wealthy district in the north of the city, and although it wasn't big, it was a rather luxurious villa.
Vivian took him from the street to the manor, which wasn't far, about thirty minutes away.
There were also several private guards who looked very average at the door of the villa, and when they saw Vivian, they opened the door and then looked at Vivian holding Roland with surprised eyes.
This was the first time their young miss had brought a man home.
After they entered the small building, an old man who looked like a butler immediately greeted them with a smile. "Miss, are you tired? And Mr. Roland, how are you?"
Roland was stunned. He hadn't even introduced himself, and the other party already knew who he was?
As if seeing through Roland's thoughts, the butler said matter-of-factly, "If Miss brings a male friend home, then it must be Mr. Roland."
Hmm … Roland also understood the reason.
Vivian, on the other hand, smiled. She glanced at the butler and asked, "Where are Father and Mother?"
"He went to the Corsai family."
"Where are Big Brother and Second Brother?"
"He went out to hunt."
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Send some fruit wine to my room later. I want the Qinglin fruit-flavored ones."
Having been Roland's "secretary" for almost half a year, Vivian naturally knew what Roland's favorite fruit wine was.
Then, she took Roland to the fourth floor and entered a room that was filled with the fragrance of pear blossoms.
The decoration of the room was very girly, with light pink as the main color.
Roland felt a little awkward. After all, this was a girl's room.
But Vivian didn't think much of it. She simply picked up a small white animal from the light pink bed and presented it to Roland as if she were presenting a treasure.
"Look, this is White Amber!"
It was a small animal that Roland had never seen before. It was about the size of an adult domestic cat, and its pure white fur looked quite beautiful. It looked a bit like a puppy, but its ears were very long, like rabbit ears, but they drooped down and stuck to the sides of its head.
Also, it had a long tail, like a fox's.
Roland looked at it for a while and asked, "This is your pet, right?"
"Yes." Vivian nodded hard. "White Amber is a rare species in the Elf Forest. It has many special abilities, such as natural healing, fast movement, and summoning vines."
Roland said in surprise, "It's already a kind of magical beast, isn't it?"
"That's right. My father bought White Amber as a companion for me when I was young, and then he wanted me to contract it when I grew up. "
Roland shook his head. "Then I can't take it."
"I want you to contract it." There was a hint of pleading in Vivian's expression. "White Amber is already old, and if it doesn't become a magic pet, it will die in two or three years. But I can't become an Elite Mage in five years. "
The little thing's eyes suddenly opened slowly at this moment. Its pupils were beautiful, pale gold, like clean and flawless amber. No wonder it was named White Amber.
After Vivian finished speaking, she put on a bitter smile.
Roland understood what Vivian meant.
Any animal that became a magic pet had a theoretically infinite lifespan, but of course, that was only in theory. Their lifespan was limited by the survival of their master.
If their master died, they would die sooner.
Of course, they could also be killed by enemies.
Therefore, it was only in theory that they had an unlimited lifespan, because most mages would eventually die.
Except for Mystra, the magic genius who hadn't become a god yet.
However, after Roland contracted this White Amber, it would be able to continue living.
Roland looked at Vivian, whose face was slightly raised, her eyes full of pleading.
"Okay." Roland agreed indifferently.
For him, it didn't matter what kind of magic pet he contracted, and it was a good thing in itself to be able to help Vivian this way.
"Then wait a moment for me."
Roland took out the book on Summon Magic Pet, sat down on a chair on the side, and began to study the spell model on it.
Summon Magic Pet was a level-two spell, and under normal circumstances, it was recommended to start learning it at level five, that was, after the Elite level, but that was relatively speaking. After all, contracting a magic beast was very dangerous, and the slightest carelessness could lead to mental power backlashing, at best, for a short period of time, and at worst, for a head explosion.
As a player, Roland didn't have such troubles.
Besides, his comprehension wasn't bad in the first place, and this spell, no matter how difficult it was, couldn't be more difficult than Language Proficiency of the same level. Most importantly, Roland had been studying magic all this time, and he already had a certain understanding of magic.
As long as one worked hard, there would be progress, and most magic models had traces to follow.
After sitting in Vivian's room reading for nearly an hour, Roland stood up.
"We can begin."
Vivian put the little thing in her arms on the fur-covered carpet.
The little thing seemed a little surprised to leave the warm embrace, raised its head, and looked around.
And Roland crouched down, his right hand on the right side of his forehead for a while, and then pulled out a blue, translucent gelatinous object.
Then this thing became the size of a ping-pong ball in his hand.
