When Ruiwen stretched out a hand toward the sky, Shadow suddenly passed by in the empty night. The crow gathered its steel blade-like wings and landed precisely on her shoulder.
It tilted its head again and stared at Dick with black bean-like eyes, motionless as if it had turned into a wooden sculpture.
"This pet of yours is very special. It can compete with my white cat Furball." Dick felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the crow, and tried to break the silence with words.
"They are different." Ruiwen chuckled, "You came out so late, did you just want to take a walk?"
Dick shook his head slightly, "No, I plan to give 'Spotty' a medicine."
"What potion?"
Then, Dick told everything about what happened in the laboratory today.
"Well, in my opinion, there shouldn't be any problem taking it.
"However, you'd better show me the potion. Don't forget, I am Master Alchemy. I can help you check it again."
"Thank you so much." Dick said, quickly took out the potion from his arms and handed it over.
Ruiwen took the medicine, opened the cork, slowly put it to his nose and sniffed.
The crow next to him also joined in the fun and stretched out his beak to smell it. Then he seemed to smell some unpleasant smell and gave a "squeak" in disgust.
Ruiwen handed the medicine back to Dick with a reassuring smile on his face, "There is no problem, you can feed 'Spotty' with confidence."
"Thank you."
"Then I'll go back first, Dick."
Ruiwen turned around slightly, and Moonlight flowed into a silver stream on her long dress, dragging out a slender phantom.
"Goodbye."
At this time, Dick turned his attention to the stables aside.
"Spotty" was staring at the crow on Ruiwen's shoulder without saying a word, with an inexplicable nervousness in his eyes.
Sweat mist steamed from its mane, and its iron hooves paved the ground restlessly. It did not turn to Dick until it was sure that the threat was far away.
There was actually a trace of fear left on that anthropomorphic horse face.
Dick was surprised and quickly came to it and touched its big head vigorously.
"Spotty" seemed to have come back to his senses, he hissed happily, stretched out his big soft tongue, and licked Dick's face hard twice.
"'Spotty', don't make trouble."
Dick smiled and pushed the horse's head away, then unscrewed the bottle of medicine.
He put the potion in front of the horse's mouth, but slowly took it back, muttering to himself, "No, although Ruiwen is the master Alchemy, what if this potion is harmful?"
Then, he put the potion to "Spotty"'s mouth and comforted himself, "What trouble can there be? You should trust the words of these warlocks. No!"
He took back the potion again, feeling hesitant in his heart.
This horse has been with him for a long time, and they already have a deep tacit understanding. Dick really doesn't want it to encounter any accidents.
And "Spotty" on the side couldn't wait for his master to dawdle like this.
When Dick put the medicine in front of its mouth again, "Spotty" couldn't wait to open its large, neat teeth and bite the medicine in one bite.
Before Dick could react, it shook its head and poured all the potion into its throat.
Then, Dick saw "Spotty" suffering so much that tears were streaming down his face, and his tongue was hanging out and shaking like a wave.
"Made you greedy." Dick scolded with a smile, "How do you feel now?"
"Spotty" naturally couldn't answer, but began to hiss anxiously.
When Dick saw this, he felt worried and hesitated whether to call Ruiwen over to have a look.
At this moment, subtle changes began to happen to "Spotty" in front of him.
The muscles on its body began to slowly bulge, and its already strong body seemed to be slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dick stood there, watching intently.
Ten minutes later, "Spotty"'s body shape had undergone earth-shaking changes:
It used to be close to 1.8 meters tall, but now it has reached 2 meters. Its tendons are like steel cables running under the fur, and the height of the acromion has long exceeded Dick's sight.
The huge horse eyes became brighter and looked extremely intelligent.
"Spotty" stuck out his tongue in a flattering manner and licked Dick's face vigorously again, then turned his head and rubbed Dick's chest affectionately.
Then, it took a step back and kept opening and closing its lips.
Dick guessed. "Are you hungry?"
"Spotty" actually nodded heavily.
"What do you want to eat? Don't you still have a lot of horse feed in the manger?"
"Spotty" shook his head and looked longingly at Dick's pocket.
"You want to eat something from my pocket? Do you want some meat?"
"Spotty" nodded vigorously again, his eyes full of desire.
Dick was astonished. Unexpectedly, after taking the medicine, "Spotty" not only experienced a radical change in his physique, but also had a cunning light that should not belong to a herbivore flowing in his pupils.
Ali The potion they made is simply amazing.
Then Dick took out the delicious cooked meat from his pocket that he had prepared just in case. After tearing it roughly a few times, he threw it into the manger of "Spotty".
This huge horse immediately started to devour the food, rolling away the pieces of meat with its barbed tongue. The sound of its molars grinding the fodder and meat was sour to the teeth.
This whirlwind eating scene aroused Dick's appetite and wondered if he should have a midnight snack.
After that, Dick repeatedly fed "Spotty", until all the delicious food in the space pocket was wiped out, "Spotty" drank some water with satisfaction, and then let out a series of odorless loud farts.
The joints of its hind legs made a creaking sound, and this heavy creature was curled up in the grass like a cat.
Dick was surprised again. In the past, not only "Spotty" but also many horses would not lie down to sleep out of instinct so that they could escape quickly when encountering a sneak attack.
Now "Spotty" has overcome this nature and knows how to rest in a more comfortable position.
After sighing, Dick suddenly felt that the future seemed to be full of infinite possibilities.
It will definitely be fun to have such a smart partner accompanying you on your future demon hunting journeys. If you have the idle Energy Points upgrade [Beast Taming] skills, there may be more surprises.
After enjoying the future for a while, Dick returned to the room to rest.
In the next few days, Dick's life became full and busy.
He no longer fought with the disciples of School of the Grizzly Bear, and also left the laboratory temporarily, because he understood that these two technologies had reached a bottleneck in a short period of time and it was difficult to continue to improve.
He devoted all his energy to communicating with the demon hunters, and also helped slaughter cattle and sheep, and put up lanterns and decorations to welcome the arrival of Crown Festival.
As Crown Festival gets closer and closer, the smell of the New Year in the air becomes stronger.
More and more demon hunters are returning, and everyone has a happy smile on their face.
Dick was also deeply affected by this joyful atmosphere and felt that he had truly integrated into this warm family. This feeling was very similar to the warmth of celebrating the New Year with his family in his previous life.
Before he knew it, he had completely accepted the world.
