Chapter 140: Can a magical pet summon a magical pet?

Dusk falls.

Baron Cran warmly entertained Yeats and let him stay in the palace.

The palace stands on the seashore. It is a silver-gray marble castle. From the third floor of the castle, you can see the sky with deep blue and rose red interweaving at sunset.

That concludes our trip to Granite Harbor.

I got the news that the Goddess of Mist will soon choose the 'Chosen One' by the Lake Ness, a rare book that can help people understand the 'Talent: Photographic Memory', and a storage space bag that can provide great convenience.

Ye Zhi instructed Fokas to go to the Merchant Guild in the port town to buy some cooking utensils, spices, ingredients, etc., and then put them all into the space bag.

The next day.

At dawn, the sun pierced through the clouds above the sea.

Gray walked to the terrace, yawned, and saw Yeats's snow leopard on the beach, holding a fat seal in its mouth and walking leisurely across the beach.

The seal slapped its belly and struggled out of the snow leopard's mouth. Its belly, which was filled with thick fat, bounced twice on the beach and tried hard to leap towards the incoming waves.

However, the snow leopard grabbed the seal with one claw and happily enjoyed this breakfast.

Gray blinked.

It is worthy of being the sacred beast of the goddess of fishing, hunting and winter. It can hunt on its own without being fed!

"Other nobles usually keep hunting dogs."

Gray muttered, "When we get to Yeats, we raise falcons and cheetahs!"

anyway.

Gray tilted her head.

Shouldn't the snow leopard stay in Ye Zhi's magical pet plane? Why was it summoned again?
At this moment, a snow-white owl flapped its wings and flew over, landed on the railing in front of Grey, and yawned lazily.

"Snowy Owl, you've been studying all night again, take a break."

Yeats' voice rang out.

The owl shook its head with bloodshot eyes: "Gu!"

I can still learn!

Clang~clang~clangclang~
Yeats and Gray turned their heads at the same time.

At the winding staircase, there was nothing at the headless knight's neck. He reached out and touched it, then realized belatedly that the helmet had rolled down the stairs.

Humph~
Gray looked at Kailya who was walking downstairs quickly, as if to retrieve her "head", and said in a subtle tone:

"Yezhi, doesn't this helmet fit Kelya very well?"

"If it was Pumpkin, she would turn around as well. As for the reason..."

Yeats, with his arms folded, sighed, "It's really confusing!"

"The Black Knight will definitely enjoy this joke," Gray grumbled.

Enjoyed breakfast leisurely.

Yeats said goodbye to Baron Cran, declined his invitation to stay a few more days, and set off again for Ingness.

The road was smooth and unobstructed. Three days later, the picturesque town of Ingness, located at the mouth of the River Ness, came into view.

Ingfors is under the jurisdiction of High Castle, and its lord, Earl Jay, is simple-minded and ambitious.

Jay had received Yeats' letter, and in order to show off his wealth, he sent people to welcome Yeats to Ingness's palace with a very grand ceremony.

While Yeats arranged for Grey to investigate the rumors about the lake monster in the town, he also let Fokas know about the movements of the Scorpion Lion Mercenaries and the Scorpion Tailed Lion Lair.

Phocas quickly brought back the news.

"The Scorpion Lion Mercenary Group has already carried out a siege against the Scorpion Tailed Lion's lair, but it was unsuccessful and many people were lost. Now they are preparing for a second operation and are currently recruiting people."

Ye Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Fokas, take the Snow Owl with you to assist the Scorpion Lion Mercenary Group in their operations. Remember to bring back the corpse of a Scorpion Lion."

As a lord, it is impossible to do everything personally, and the difficulty of conquering the Scorpion-tailed Lion is not too high. Phocas, Snow Owl and the Scorpion-tailed Lion Mercenaries are enough to handle it.

Out of concern, Yeats still gave Phocas a few instructions, asking him to be careful, and handed him a few bottles of antidote that he had prepared himself.

"It is made with herbs such as honeysuckle, honey, and sage. It tastes much better than the common detoxification drugs on the market," Yeats added.

The old knight was stunned, then he solemnly put away the antidote potion, accepted the order, and left with the Snowy Owl.

……

The Manticore's Lair.

The dense jungle smelled of blood and decay.

Helga, leader of the Manticore Mercenaries, looked alert and said:
"Sir Phocas, there are two manticores in this lair. We took the risk to kill one before, but the other one is still a big trouble."

The old knight, wearing heavy armor, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"I have accepted the lord's order and will do my best." A trace of respect flashed in Helga's eyes.

Although she did not recognize Fokas, she had learned some stories about the "Sword of Brondi" from her mercenaries.

Although he is no longer as brave as he once was, he is still worthy of respect.

At this time, Helga noticed the snowy owl napping on Fokas' shoulder and asked, "Is this just your magical pet?"

"No, it's Lord Yeats's familiar." Fokasi said confidently, "It will be the key to this mission."

Helga was skeptical.

He led the team deeper into the lair, and soon the familiar roar of the scorpion-tailed lion sounded again.

Deep in the dim forest, a black shadow quickly passed by, and poisonous stings like a rainstorm shot out at this moment!
Whoosh whoosh~
"Round shield formation!" Helga commanded in an orderly manner. The mercenaries huddled in a circle and raised their shields to block the stingers.

Immediately, the black shadow squatted on a stone and revealed its true form——

A ferocious lion with huge fangs bared, broad bat-like wings, and a scorpion on its tail with scarlet eyes open.

Suddenly.

The scorpion tail of the manticore once again fired a poisonous stinger!
A gleam of light suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Snowy Owl. It flapped its wings, stirring up a strong gale, which gathered into a wall and blocked the poisonous stinger.

The members of the Scorpion-Lion Mercenaries were all stunned.

"Third-level spell, Wind Wall?"

"The owl blocked the manticore's attack!"

Even the Manticore fell into a human hesitation.

After staring at the snowy owl for a moment, the manticore suddenly flapped its wings and pounced towards it!

A more powerful aura of magic emerged from the Snow Owl, and it blew up a biting cold wind! The Scorpion Tailed Lion was covered with frost, and its movements were visibly slow. It was hit by the frost missiles fired by the Snow Owl again!

thump—

The manticore fell from the air.

There was a hint of shock in Helga's eyes.

The owl raised by Baron Yeats can hunt down a three-ringed manticore alone? !

The sudden change.

Helga felt a sudden sense of crisis in her heart, and when she turned her head, she saw another manticore pouncing out from the woods!

"not good!"

Helga frowned and was about to evacuate.

A scorpion-tailed lion suddenly appeared and pounced violently, severely injuring a mercenary in an instant.

Phocas swung his sword to intercept, but the scorpion-tailed lion shot out a poisonous stinger that hit his arm!
The wound quickly festered and turned purple.

Seeing this, Helga became anxious. The stinger of the scorpion-tailed lion was highly poisonous and even a three-ring transcendent could be killed by it!

next moment,
Phocas swung his sword with both hands with great force, and it slammed into the forest with a "bang", and the blast blew up the dead branches and leaves.

While temporarily forcing the manticore back, he took out a bottle of antidote potion with an expressionless face.

After drinking the antidote, the purple color on the wound on Phocas' arm quickly faded!
Helga was slightly stunned.

Is this detoxification potion so effective?
Where did you buy it? I want it too!
"Gu——!!"

The snowy owl looked back at the tense battle behind it, spread its wings, and let out a loud cry.

At the same moment, a transmission wave emerged in the air.

The magical pet plane is opened.

A snow leopard rushed out and had a fierce battle with the scorpion-tailed lion, immediately easing the situation!
Helga: ???

Did I read that correctly?

A familiar, using the 'Summon Familiar' spell.

Summoned another familiar? !

Everyone in the Scorpion-Lion Mercenary Group was a little dazed, but after a loud reminder from Fokas, they came to their senses and cooperated to kill the two scorpion-tailed lions.

Crisis resolved.

Helga glanced at the snowy owl perched on a branch, and felt a strange mood as she thought of Yeats, who had cultivated such an outrageous magical pet.

"Could it be... Lord Ye Zhi is a genius in animal taming?"
