Please be my partner.

The steward was speechless, thinking Mellen was some kind of young master overflowing with love. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir, this is against the rules. Moreover, if you touch it rashly, it will bring you misfortune. Therefore, I cannot agree to your request."

Melen was silent.

Although the manager's words were gentle, he knew that even if he continued to be unreasonable, he would not get the result he wanted.

He took two steps forward and came to the cage.

This time the steward did not stop it. The cages had been specially treated. Not only were they extremely sturdy, they could also seal the curse to a certain extent. Otherwise, this cursed pet dog would have been impossible to transport safely to Gano Farm.

The little red dog in the cage noticed the outside gazes. It raised its head cautiously and saw a young man who made it feel instinctively close was staring at it.

The boy's eyes were gentle and peaceful, causing the curled-up little red dog to wag its tail.

Its body moved, trying to get up and move closer.

However, it is intelligent and understands that as long as it gets close to others, it will bring misfortune to them.

It doesn't want this, it doesn't want to hurt anyone.

Therefore, even though it instinctively wanted to get close to the boy, it could only suppress the desire in its heart!

Looking at the little guy who looked like a frightened quail with his head curled up into a ball, Mellen sighed helplessly and turned away reluctantly.

He actually wanted to check the attributes of the little red dog.

If the latter is really spreading misfortune because of a curse, perhaps the spiritual energy in the wolf-shaped pendant can remove this negative state of the curse.

Of course, what Melen cared about more was the blue light above the little red dog's head.

He now basically understood that these brilliant colors represented the life levels of the dogs.

And, through the feedback from the wolf-shaped pendant, he could clearly recognize that blue was superior to green!

Melen didn't notice that there was a figure standing in the shadows, silently watching his departing back.

After a long moment, the steward came over and bowed, saying, "Sir, we've already found out. The young man's name is Mellen Warwick. He's a freshman at the Kingdom Mystic Academy this year. He's not from Roland City, but from Vero City."

"If you want more detailed information, I can immediately send someone to Vero City to investigate."

"No need!" The figure in the darkness seemed to smile and said, "Vero City is that person's territory. Sending people there like this will cause misunderstandings."

"Besides, these are enough."

After saying that, the figure in the darkness turned and left. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the eaves, and one could see that he was wearing... cowherd's clothes!

When Melen arrived at the hunting ground, Sora and the others had already played a round.

Sora greeted him and asked, "How is it? What kind of extraordinary lives are being auctioned tonight?"

Mellen smiled and said, "It's a pity you didn't go. You missed a great show. There were originally four extraordinary lives to be auctioned tonight, but now there are only three left."

"Oh?" Sora asked with even greater interest, "Tell me more about it."

The other three also came over.

Melen said, "The first extraordinary life form is a green falcon, which has awakened the power of the wind element. It is said that its speed will far exceed the upper limit of its original species."

"The second extraordinary life form is a dark horse. It has awakened the power of the fire element and seems to have a very explosive personality."

"Dark horse?!"

Sora's voice was distorted with surprise. As someone who regarded becoming a knight as his future goal, he naturally paid more attention to the knight's mount.

At this time, he already regretted not following Mellen to see the display of extraordinary life.

Mellen nodded and continued, "The fourth one is a cursed pet dog. It is said to be the only surviving life on the ghost ship of Farsail Harbor, the Golden Rowling."

This once again sparked heated discussions among the group. After all, whether it was the 'ghost ship of Farsail Harbor' or the 'only surviving life on the Golden Rowling', they were both quite eye-catching gimmicks.

The incident of the Golden Rowling caused a lot of uproar a few months ago, and almost everyone in the kingdom knew about it.

Sora asked, "What about the third one?"

Mellen said, "The third one is a stray dog with a deformed head. Its appearance is indeed... er, shocking!"

"It seems that Mr. Lanny, the pharmacist, agreed to some conditions with Gano Farm, and then he took the deformed stray dog away on the spot."

Sora sighed, "A lot has happened!"

Then he skipped the topic and let Melen see their hunting harvest.

Melen also joined in with a natural smile.

Next, they played another round of hunting games.

During the hunting process, the Gano Farm provided a double-barreled shotgun. Although it was very different from the revolver that Mellen had trained with, the basic aiming principles were the same, so his shooting accuracy was not low.

However, Melen was not interested in this meaningless hunting and killing, so he symbolically killed two rabbits and then stopped.

In the evening, several people handed over their prey to the farm staff, who would take them to the slaughterhouse for processing.

In addition, Gano Farm can also process the fur of prey into leather gloves, leather boots, leather clothes, etc. according to the preferences of guests.

It just takes some more time. After the product is produced, they will deliver the finished product to the customer's door according to the address left in advance.

The after-sales service has really been clarified.

At this moment, Melen saw someone driving ten cows with extraordinary bloodlines towards the slaughterhouse.

He had an idea and asked the staff, "What are those?"

The staff member explained: "Those are the ingredients to be used in tonight's auction."

Melen was a little surprised and asked, "Do you need so much?"

You know, an ordinary cow weighs about five or six hundred pounds, and these cows with extraordinary bloodlines are much heavier, generally reaching more than one thousand five hundred pounds. One cow is enough for two or three hundred people to eat for a meal.

But now they want to slaughter ten of them at once?

The staff member smiled and said, "After all, tonight is the farm's rare Extraordinary Life Auction. The adults attending are of relatively noble status, so they naturally want to eat higher quality ingredients."

"There are only a limited number of the most tender parts of a cow, such as tongue, tenderloin, eye of ox, and top of the head, and the total amount is not that much."

"The remaining parts will naturally be sold to various restaurants in Roland City after processing."

Melen nodded suddenly, and finally understood why Sora said that the real good things were all on Gano Farm.

It seems that what he ate before were all the leftovers from others?!

Chapter 36: Gano Farm Auction

Mellen's brain was working rapidly, thinking about what kind of reason he could find to go to the slaughterhouse and fleece the sheep.

Seeing his expression, the staff member seemed to have misunderstood something. After thinking for a moment, they said, "Sir, would you like to visit the slaughterhouse?"

Mellen was stunned for a few seconds before blinking and asking, "Is this convenient?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Of course, every place on our Gano Farm meets the standards and is open to visitors at any time. In addition, if you go to the butcher shop, you can directly receive a portion of designated beef in addition to the necessary ingredients for tonight."

Melen understood that this might be some kind of additional project of Gano Farm, so he no longer hesitated and nodded to indicate that he was willing to go and take a look.

Seeing this, Sora and his friends also expressed their desire to go and take a look.

So, several people came to the slaughterhouse under the guidance of the staff.

Their own staff will carry their prey down and dismantle it.

Suddenly, Melen felt a spiritual energy of 0.1 entering his body.

I followed the staff to a small room on the side of the slaughterhouse. Through a huge piece of glass, I could see the interior of the workshop.

Contrary to their expectations, the interior of the slaughterhouse was not as bloody and dirty as they had imagined, but rather quite well organized.

It is no wonder that Gano Farm dares to include it as one of the tourist attractions.

At this time, a tall butcher was seen standing in front of a cow that had just been sent away. The wide butcher knife flew deftly in his hand, quickly separating the bones and flesh.

In just over ten minutes, such a huge cow was completely dismantled.

Sora sighed, "After watching this, I actually felt a sense of enjoyment."

The others nodded in agreement.

During this period, the wolf-shaped pendant absorbed spiritual energy nine more times, plus the first time, a total of ten times.

Total spiritual energy received...1.1!

After getting something for free, Mellen was in a good mood. Just as the others had watched the butcher's disassembly once, they lost interest in watching it any further.

So after each of them chose a piece of beef, they left.

On the way back to the manor, Mellen couldn't help but start to consider the feasibility of becoming a butcher's apprentice again.

After a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

This time, we were able to harvest 1.1 spiritual energies at once, and it happened to coincide with the auction. On weekdays, the slaughterhouse should handle more prey and ordinary livestock for tourists.

Otherwise, if cattle of extraordinary bloodlines were slaughtered on this scale every day, they would have become extinct long ago.

After returning to the manor, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. After all, hunting in the afternoon was a physical activity and they were all a little tired.

You don’t have to prepare dinner specially, you can wait until the auction starts to eat.

The evening auction is held in the manor hall. Any tourist who has booked a room during this period will receive an invitation to the auction directly.

With an invitation letter, you can directly participate in this auction, which is a small benefit that Gano Farm gives to tourists.

This is also why Sora said before that they were lucky.

In addition, the farm’s distinguished users, high-quality partners, etc. will also receive invitations in advance.

At night, the manor was brightly lit, and Mellen and his friends came together.

After handing the invitation to the staff, they were led to their specific seats.

The table was already set with pre-dinner fruits, exquisite desserts and appetizer soup for them.

Melen picked up a fruit that looked like a green grape but was much larger and took a bite.

It has a sweet taste with a hint of sourness, and it is refreshing, tender and delicious, quite good.

The appetizer soup is warm and looks clear, but you can smell a light meaty aroma. Once you take a bite, the fresh aroma explodes directly in your mouth and nose.

When it was six o'clock in the evening, dinner officially began.

Pan-fried beef tongue, grilled steak, stewed beef tenderloin, beef bone mushroom soup...

It's a feast for meat eaters!

When it was eight o'clock in the evening, everyone had finished tasting the last course of the meal.

Mellen resisted the urge to pat his stomach and said, "It tastes really good. This trip was definitely worth it!"

The plates were removed and the waiters served coffee, tea and other drinks to the guests.

At this time, the steward in charge of the afternoon presentation walked over to the stage that had been set up in advance and said, "Dear guests, I hope that the dinner provided by our Gano Farm will satisfy you."

"I won't say anything extra, let's get straight to the point of tonight!"

A cage was pushed onto the stage, with a falcon inside.

Qing Falcon's condition was much better than when we saw him in the afternoon, but he still looked a little out of spirits.

The steward said, "The first extraordinary life item is the Green Falcon! The starting price is 2000 gold coins. Please feel free to bid."

As soon as the manager finished speaking, a flurry of offers came from the audience...

"2100 gold coins!"

"2300 gold coins!"

"2500 gold coins!"

"I'll pay you 3000 gold coins!"

"..."

Watching the price soar, Sora exclaimed, "There are so many rich people!"

Mellen nodded in agreement.

Although this green falcon is good, it has just awakened and is only a first-level extraordinary life form.

Those first-level extraordinary lives in the academy arena are only worth about 300 gold coins, and the difference in value between them is more than ten times!

You know, buying it is just the beginning. If you want it to grow smoothly, the money you need to spend will probably be several times more!
