No dragon could be tamed, this was a publicly acknowledged fact. But this did not mean that they would not act similarly for a certain purpose.
There were many reasons for the black dragon to stay. Because of Ezio, because he wanted to find a place to retire, because he was curious about a certain someone, because he wanted to do so. In fact, no matter how many reasons there were, they were not as convincing as the last one. Augustus was willing to stay because he wanted to stay. When he wanted to leave, he would leave. Anyway, a certain someone would not stop him.
During the night's conversation with the black dragon, Hardy confirmed one thing. That was, in Augustus's long years of experience, this human mage was also very special. He was neither like those schemers whose brains were full of tricks, nor was he like those politicians who acted in front of others and behind others. He was not a one-track minded warrior, nor was he a mage who greeted everything with magic.
As for what was special about him, it was precisely the reason why the black dragon was willing to stay. He wanted to see why this human gave him such a feeling. According to the black dragon, that Lich also had the same reason.
Such a statement also aroused Hardy's interest. It would secretly follow the human magician all day long. Other than observing what he was doing, it would also watch what he was doing. On the other hand, the three kittens who said they wanted to find this human at the beginning were playing with the two human girls and two human children so much that they forgot their original purpose.
Hardy also took advantage of the time when a certain someone was patrolling to enter the long house that was about to be regarded as a forbidden area. Looking at the spirited worms, Wheeze really did have the urge to swallow them whole. But it managed to restrain itself before it made a mistake.
It knew very well that if a certain someone said he would skin the cat, he would really do it. When he faced the Demon Lord, the King of the Forest, Mao Ni and Big Mother, which one of them did not hesitate to kill at will? Although no one really died in the end, the point was, no one doubted that this human mage had the ability to kill them. That sword was too fierce.
Leaning against the feeding table, Hardy asked the purpose of raising these demon insect larvae. Only then did he learn from the blonde girl who was taking care of them that they were going to use the silk threads they spat out to make clothes. This also explained why the human mage had made such an agreement with Wang Ding to only ask for the silk cocoon.
From their conversation, it could be seen that apart from the human mage, the other three women, including the Lich, were also looking forward to the clothes woven from silk cocoons. This was also why the three women agreed when the human threatened to skin the cat. This made Hardy even more afraid to act rashly.
However, the gray cat's eyes were fixed on the demon moth larvae, and it completely ignored the normal moth larvae. Plus, in his mind, these protein-rich little things were not on the cat's menu. Therefore, Lin asked Hardy what was the reason for this attraction.
After asking, he remembered a special characteristic of magical beasts. The reason why they would form a nucleus full of Authority in their bodies was because it was beneficial for them to accumulate their Authority through eating. After these magical beast cores were processed, they could be used as magic stones, but most of them would be used for other purposes. For example, magical beast cores were better than magic stones when it came to the driving mechanism used to create semi-permanent magic puppets.
In comparison, humans could not use this method to accumulate Authority. This did not only refer to humans, but also to all kinds of homo sapiens including goblins and dwarves. It could be said that this was the biggest difference between 'beasts' and 'humans' in the Maze World.
However, there was still a type of superhuman called 'demonkin'. They were people who had a 'magic core' in their bodies. However, these people were usually abnormal because they were affected by the magical beast cores. They were more animalistic than normal people. There was a description that could be used to describe this phenomenon.
It meant that the demonkin's abnormality was a person whose soul was contaminated.
At the same time, Lin also understood why the black dragon Augustus was so resentful towards the cats. It was not because of past grudges. It was purely because the Authority on the cats had attracted his appetite.
The cat race that Hardy belonged to was one of the species with the highest Authority per unit volume among all the magical beasts Lin had observed with his own eyes. The other was the dragon race, and the one he had seen with his own eyes was only an old black dragon. Lin Huang could not imagine what a dragon would look like in its heyday.
However, this did not mean that cats and dragons were creatures of the same level. After all, the difference in size between the two was too great. Of course, the total amount of Authority was also a world of difference.
However, this also explained why the nobles and mages in the southern border of the Guevana Empire regarded the magical cats of the Cat Forest as the best magical pets.
It was not only because cats would get close to humans and take care of human children, but also because they were indeed the creatures with the highest combat power among the magical beasts that were easy to tame. Moreover, signing a contract with such creatures and being close to them day and night was beneficial for those who were interested in magic.
Of course, in the eyes of other magical beasts, the cats of the Cat Forest were also the best food. Even the dragons were no exception to this. It was just that Augustus' attitude towards the cats was more playful.
At his age, he no longer needed to think about improving himself. No matter how many cats he ate, there was no way to fix the defects in his body. On the contrary, teasing these little fellows was like teasing Ezio. It could make him temporarily forget some of his troubles.
Lin Huang had a rough idea of Augustus' attitude. If the black dragon really wanted to eat them, how could he have kept the four cats until he came back? They would have entered his stomach long ago.
However, to be honest, it might be better to eat them. According to a certain someone, the arrival of three mischievous kittens in this house meant that the lineup of the lawless group had expanded. The king of children was still a black dragon. He could not scold and beat them to his heart's content even if he wanted to.
Thinking about those grandchildren who were protected by their grandparents, a certain someone was now like the generation sandwiched in the middle of the three generations. It was bitter. In the end, he could only throw the trouble to the two equally energetic girls.
Fortunately, he did not give birth to them, nor did he say that he wanted to raise them. There was nothing wrong with that at all. Whoever raised the objection would be responsible.
Other than following Lin in the mansion, the gray cat Hardy would also follow him when he went to the academy to teach. If a certain someone was too lazy to walk on the day, or when the time was almost up, he would directly use Blink to go there. At this time, Hardy would walk to the academy by himself. Anyway, a certain someone's range of activities was fixed, and it rarely changed once in a few hundred years. It was very easy to find him.
Other than observing a certain someone at the school, Hardy also developed an interest in mathematics.
Most magic cats could speak the common language, but there was not a single one that could read ordinary words. Mathematics was a subject that could be learned even if one did not understand ordinary words. All one needed to do was to memorize some symbols.
After watching for a while, Hardy received some elementary mathematics knowledge from a certain someone and spent some time to catch up with everyone's progress. After that, everyone in the mathematics class got used to having a cat classmate who did not pay tuition fees. Although the gray cat's thoughts were not as flexible as other humans when it came to groundbreaking projects, it did not lose to others by too much in terms of calculation.
Perhaps the mages of the Holy City, or people with noble status, did not view having a magic cat as a symbol of status like the southern border of the Empire. However, the fact that a certain someone had a magic pet who also studied mathematics, and it was a magic cat from the southern border, became news in the end and spread in a small circle.
Sometimes, the gray cat would sneak out by itself and visit other magic beasts that lived in the Holy City of Estali and could communicate with them. Most of them were magic pets, or lich, and only a small number of them were masterless magic beasts.
Those that could live in the Holy City without a master were small or super-small magic beasts, such as cats, dogs, birds, mice, and the like. Although in the food chain, they were either the cat's enemies or the cat's prey. But as long as they were intelligent, they would not fight with their lives the moment they met.
Of course, they would not put their arms around each other's shoulders and walk through the streets together. They would just stay far away from each other and casually speak a few words in the beast language. There were many magic beasts that could understand the common language, but there were not many that could speak it.
Because the beast language was based on mutual understanding based on authority, there was no problem of racial differences. So sometimes, people would see a group of small animals gathered together in the Holy City, meowing, barking, and squeaking. It was very lively.
If someone cast a one-circle apprentice-level magic 'Animal Conversation' on themselves, they would find that the content of these small animals' conversation was more gossipy than the gossipy neighbors.
And because their values were different from that of humans, they dared to talk about anything. If there was a profession of tabloid reporters in the Mystery Land, then there was no need to dig up feces. There would be all kinds of juicy news listening to these small animals all day long.
In this monotonous but not boring life, a certain someone finally ushered in the long-awaited day: the cumulative number of silk cocoons of the target moth species had broken through the standard line.
The first set of clothes to be made was not for other people, but for a certain someone who was always on the verge of running naked. Daring to snatch the first soup among the three wolf-like women, a certain someone's reason was: "This machine has not woven a complete bolt of cloth until now. It has only woven a small piece of brocade handkerchief as a test. No one knows if there are any problems in it, and the possibility of making a defective product is very high. I sacrificed myself and endured the chance to wear a defective product in exchange for a set of clothes that are not afraid of Blink. Do you still want to snatch the first set of clothes from me? Do you have any conscience? "
Although the three women said in unison that they did not care about a certain someone walking around naked in front of them. But to put on an imperfect set of clothes was simply unbearable! So in the end, they accepted their teacher's suggestion and volunteered to be the first batch of test subjects.
But just before the official start of work, an invitation that had to be accepted was sent to Lin through the dean of Kaban Academy. In the Guevana Empire, the captain of the First Magician Brigade of the First Legion, Mage Saint Babak Abnahan, invited Lin to a banquet in his personal name. The location was in the Holy City, a small noble mansion in the Guevana Empire.
