Beast Tamer

A Lapis Lazuli Beast, the same color as the tree bark, lurked on a branch, its body pressed tightly against the branch, its eyes peering through the gaps in the leaves at a group of elves in the woods below, not daring to make any sudden movements.

It could smell the meaty aroma emanating from them, but it could only lick its whiskers with its tongue.

Among the spirits below, some exude a dangerous aura. This is their survival instinct, enabling them to detect beings stronger than themselves.

The Lapis Lazuli Beast realized that the group of spirits were merely passing through its territory and had no intention of stopping or settling down, so it didn't want to provoke them...

Its territory is teeming with small forest animals; it can decide which one to eat. It wouldn't be so foolish as to go looking for trouble with those elves.

The Lapis Lazuli Beast couldn't help but lick its dark nose. A gaze fell from below the forest floor, startling the Lapis Lazuli Beast so much that it quickly closed its eyes...

The sharp gaze left, and the owner of that gaze was none other than Instructor Eleanor. Although she felt an inexplicable and eerie atmosphere around her, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

After all the elves had passed under the tree, the Lapis Lazuli Beast poked its head out from a horizontal branch of an oak tree, craning its neck to peer down.

The danger is getting further and further away from it...

A strong smell of urine came from behind, and the Lapis Lazuli Beast immediately let out a roar from the tree branch.

It's that pack of dire wolves again, always trying to test the edge of its territory. It can tolerate elves passing through its territory, but that doesn't mean it will allow these dire wolves to enter.

The Lapis Lazuli Beast leaped and landed on the canopy of the large tree, its body turning emerald green and blending into the leaves.

It looks like an emerald, with shiny fur.

It stared at the dire wolves with its sharp eyes, without uttering a sound.

The dire wolf lingered outside the territory of the Lapis Lazuli Beast for a long time, but ultimately did not step into the Lapis Lazuli Beast's territory, and reluctantly turned and left.

Instructor Eleanor followed behind Instructor Nora, stepping on the dead branches and leaves, as they followed the caravan through the woods.

Roy followed behind the two instructors. The path wasn't too difficult, so he chose to walk.

He held the reins of two horses in his hands. Riding through the forest, the most important thing to watch out for were the horizontal branches of the trees and the vines between the trees. If he wasn't careful, those vines would throw the elves off their backs.

Instructor Eleanor looked around, then whispered to Instructor Nora:

"I can feel its presence, but I just can't find it. I know it must be hiding somewhere watching us, but it just won't come out."

Roy heard everything clearly from behind, and he couldn't help but turn around to look around. Catching a Lapis Lazuli Beast was one of Magician Scarlett's small goals in coming to the Pattington Plane.

Instructor Nora gestured for Instructor Eleanor to follow, as the Adventure Group had fallen behind the main force.

"If we can't catch them, so be it. There are so many elves in the caravan that need our protection. We can't just leave the group now..." Instructor Nora said bluntly.

Instructor Gru, walking beside Roy, asked in a low voice, "Are we just going to Bulwark Village like this?"

Instructor Nora nodded firmly and replied, "Yes, if any magical beasts come to us, we'll accept them without hesitation. If not, we'll send them to Bulwark Village and then discuss other action plans."

Her finger pointed at the group of Half-Elf in front of her, her gaze becoming very determined.

Instructor Gru quickly turned his head to the side and simply said, "Okay."

Roy was quite familiar with the elf hunters, mainly because he knew ' Minor Healing ' and had helped many injured Half-Elf hunters free of charge...

In addition, the elven hunters were also very curious about this young Half-Elf Novice Priest, and they would occasionally get together to chat.

Roy came from Castleton City. These Half-Elf hunters who have lived in the Pattington Plane for many years are very curious about the Elf Continent, so every time they chat, they talk all at once and ask all sorts of questions.

Roy didn't think there was anything wrong with chatting like this.

We are all young people, and although our accents are a little different, it doesn't hinder communication.

Roy spoke of Castleton Harbour harbor, of his voyages at sea, of the Tree of Life in the city center...

Everyone loved listening to them, but sometimes these Half-Elf would also tell Roy interesting stories and anecdotes about the Pattington Plane.

A young Half-Elf hunter looked at the tightly bandaged arm and said to Roy, "I heard from my father that we used to have griffins here! The best hunters here would ride griffins when they went hunting, it was very cool."

Roy was examining the wounds of another Half-Elf. Thanks to the ' Minor Healing ', none of the wounds showed signs of infection and were healing quickly. Some of the minor abrasions were healed on the same day.

However, some injuries that damage muscles and tendons require three to five days to recover...

As Roy unwrapped his bandages, he asked, "Was it the kind of griffin that just flew away?"

Several young Half-Elf surrounded Roy, and the first Half-Elf to speak continued, "That's right, I've also seen the saddles worn on them. They're a bit different from saddles, a little smaller, and very exquisite."

Roy couldn't imagine what it would feel like to fly through the sky riding a winged lion, but he had seen Silver Pegasus Warrior before. Those Elf Warrior in silver armor hovered in the sky, looking quite dashing...

Roy said, "I've seen the Silver Moon Elf's Silver Pegasus Legion; those Silver Pegasus are very beautiful."

Hearing Roy say this, the Half-Elf's tone turned sour. "Silver Pegasus is certainly good, but they are very picky. They only want to be partners with Silver Moon Elf. Even Dark Moon Elf and Wood Elf can forget about riding on their backs. I heard that all the Silver Pegasus Legion in the Elf Continent are in the Silver Moon Kingdom."

The implication is that Half-Elf and Half-Elf probably wouldn't even be able to touch those Silver Pegasus.

However, Roy didn't care about this.

He never imagined he would fly through the sky on Silver Pegasus...

"There's an even more powerful Unicorn Legion. I heard Unicorn Legion 're stationed near the Buenos capital, but I haven't seen them yet." Roy sighed, then turned back to the griffins, his eyes lighting up. "But speaking of which, those griffins are quite nice. You can ride them and fly all over the jungle!"

The Half-Elf nodded and said, "They fly very fast. It takes about a day to fly from here to Padesto City. They are a bit difficult to catch, and they also need Beast Tamer to train them."

Roy looked up at the young Half-Elf and asked, "Do you know Beast Tamer who can tame griffins?"

The young Half-Elf elf nodded and said:

"We used to have a Beast Tamer in our village, but he was killed by a griffin while hunting one of them... Maybe we can still find Beast Tamer like that in Bulwark Village."

Roy examined the wounded Half-Elf, and if some of their wounds hadn't fully healed, Roy would treat them again.

After doing all that, return to the Adventure Group's rest area.

Seeing guide Majeri sitting alone under the tree, Roy couldn't help but go over and ask Majeri:

"Guide Majeri, do you know Beast Tamer who can tame griffins?"

Guide Majeri paused slightly, glanced at Roy suspiciously, his lips trembled slightly, and said, "There used to be elf Beast Tamer, but there aren't anymore."

Roy, looking puzzled, pressed on, "Why are they gone? Where did they all go?"

Guide Majeri had Roy sit down next to him and then whispered, "The Silver Moon Elf value spiritual communication with magical beasts. For example, Silver Pegasus and Unicorns will seek out pure-hearted Silver Moon Elf to become their companions. At the same time, the Silver Moon Elf oppose the practice of taming beasts, which goes against nature. Taming beasts is strictly forbidden in the Pattington Plane."

"There used to be some Beast Tamer here. Back then, the elven territory around Griffon Bulwark expanded southward, but later the Beast Tamer gradually disappeared from the Pattington Plane, and the Bulwark Mountain Range became an insurmountable mountain range..."

Roy exclaimed in surprise, "Is that so?"

He knew that the Silver Moon Elf had been suppressing the Half-Elf, but he didn't expect the Pattington Plane to be so severe.

The Madrid guide said with a disdainful look:

"Well, actually, the idea of violating the laws of nature is just an excuse from those Silver Moon Elven Nobles. They simply don't want us Half-Elf to have flying mounts."

Upon hearing what the guide, Majeri, said, Roy didn't know how to respond.

"..."

Roy didn't dare to have a deep conversation with the guide, Majeri, because he felt that Majeri harbored a deep prejudice against the Silver Moon Elf.

That night, while resting at camp, Roy secretly approached Instructor Nora and asked her about these things on the Pattington Plane.

"Majeri is right, but not entirely right. Most of the elves living on Pattington Plane are Half-Elf, but most of the wealth on Pattington Plane is controlled by the Silver Moon Elf, which has resulted in a very bad relationship between the Silver Moon Elf and Half-Elf on Pattington Plane."

"This time, I want to cross the Griffon Bulwark to investigate whether there are any elf Beast Tamer on the other side of the Bulwark Mountain Range who have inherited the ancient beast-taming tradition."

"Instructor Nora said."

Magician Scarlett sat down next to Instructor Nora and complained to her, "You always have so many unrealistic ideas. Even if you find an elf Beast Tamer, what's the use? We only get to come out once a year, so it's nice to just wander around, hunt magical beasts, and earn some extra money, isn't it?"

Instructor Nora responded, "I'm just a little curious..."

Back then, the Silver Moon Elf brutally suppressed the Half-Elf in Pattington Plane, and it was at that time that the already rare elf Beast Tamer completely disappeared.
