<span style="font-weight:400">The group continued to get closer to the birdie. As they did, Angelica questioned, "What are you going to do with it?" Her junior had a n cooking up.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I''m going to corner it," Keith grinned, "Maybe I could make it freeze from fear."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Those were some scary wordsing from his mouth? The beauty stared at her friend; does fear make meat more delicious?
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aria," Keith moved his hand, and the white owl appeared before him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ho," The first thing the bird did was nudge his face. Keith grinned, "I know you''re excited. Don''t worry, you''ll have your fun today." It had been some time since she had seen some action.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">What are you nning to do with a blizzard owl?
<span style="font-weight:400">"You see that bird over there. I want you to scare it into submission,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hoo!" Aria didn''t hesitate as she dashed forth.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Goodbye, bird. Angelica and Sakura could only pity that bird. It was about to be scared by an apex monster.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coo," The firebird was nibbling on some grass, minding its own business. It had a cocky look; it has been walking on this floor for quite some time now. No monster dared toe near it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not until now...
<span style="font-weight:400">The bird quickly turned around to see a white shadow dashing at it! Fire instantly came out of its mouth without any hesitation; it was out of danger and fear. It could tell the white blur was ferocious!
<span style="font-weight:400">Yet the blur dodged the fire easily as it fired ice pikes! Those pikes didn''t hit the bird; all of them were directed to the floor. That was enough as the bird quickly dashed away. Yet, more ice pikes fired ahead of it, blocking them.
<span style="font-weight:400">This scenario continued for a while before the firebird understood; there was no escape. Ity on the ground, preparing for its death. However, the owl only stood before it as it made a sound. The firebird looked confused in the beginning. But that cleared up when three shadows appeared.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I want you to be my familiar."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coo," "Hoo!" It tried to be menacing but was shut down by Aria. Nope. The firebird couldn''t defeat Aria''s pressure. It looked at Keith meekly; this man was not to be trifled with.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Can you produce eggs?" Keith questioned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cooo!" Of course I can! It was proud.
<span style="font-weight:400">"That''s good. In return for your eggs, I will feed you," Keith grinned as he took an apple out, "You get to eat this. How about it?" The apple was ced before it. The bird looked at it before taking a bite; that one bite was infectious, and more bites soon came after.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Like it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cooo!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Then do you agree with living on my ind?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coo!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Awesome!" Keith grinned, "Let''s form a contract," Simple and forward: Keith raised his hand while the bird responded. A red emblem soon formed on his wrist.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I have a lot." So many emblems were on his body: the Samuis, Aria, Fira, Bei, and now the firebird. As he thought about his familiars,
<span style="font-weight:400">Plop! An egg appeared under the bird.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What the? So big!" Keith then looked at the giant egg in his hand! It wasrger than an egg he had seen before. Turning to the bird, "You want to show off, huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coo!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright then, I will do some taste testing!" Keith grinned. Since it wanted to show off, let''s try those eggs.
<span style="font-weight:400">"..." Angelica and Sakura were speechless. What did we witness right now? However, the man cracked the egg on the skillet. That was when they saw the yolk. It was 10 yolks!
<span style="font-weight:400">The whites were a brilliant translucent orange! As the eggs were scrambled,
<span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s eat." Keith and the others gulped. Each one took a bite. One word came to everyone''s mind,
<span style="font-weight:400">"So creamy!" It was smooth and silky like cream was added to the eggs. Oveying that creaminess was the rich and decadent vor. Was it from the yolks?
<span style="font-weight:400">"What kind of egg is this?!" Angelica licked her lips. Eggs were pretty normal and nd, but this took it to another level.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait a moment, I feel a burning sensation in my stomach," Sakura felt something. It was a slightly warm feeling, invigorating her body.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hmpf! Sakura waved her sword, and that caused a tree to be cut in half!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t that normal?" Keith blinked. Sakura cutting down a tree was a regr thing.
<span style="font-weight:400">"...My strength increased by a half."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Wait, let me try." Keith got up and waved his hand. There was a loud ck sound that came after!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"You''re right!" The egg produces such an effect?!
<span style="font-weight:400">"My magic hasn''t increased." Angelica used a simple spell, but it had the same output.
<span style="font-weight:400">"So it''s a physical enhancement," Interesting. Then he added, "I should give you a name." He can''t forget about that.
<span style="font-weight:400">"From now on, your name shall be Eldi,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Coo!" The bird liked its name as she nudged her face onto his. Keith grinned, "And now, I got eggs for my farm!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Farm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Oh, yeah. I never did mention it. I''m going to have a farm on the second ind."
<span style="font-weight:400">"..."
<span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, how are we bringing it back home?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ah,"
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Umm, Keith?" Madison blinked as she stared at him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Why is there a giant rooster in our guild hall?" Before her were Keith, Angelica, and Sakura. It was normal since they came earlier but a giant rooster was behind the group.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Uh, tamed it?" Keith tilted his head.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…How?" Thest time she checked, the trio entered an A-rank dungeon. Monsters there should be at least a B-rank.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Child, you brought in a crazy thing." Kaiser chuckled as he walked over, "If you could tame a blizzard owl, it''s not surprising that you could tame that."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Cooo!" "Calm down!" "Are you kidding me!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh, it''s rampaging!"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"…" Keith looked at the destruction it caused, "…I will pay for it."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Send the bill."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Woah, what a fat fellow." Keith turned around to see Morgan and the rest of White Lily.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, did you rece us with them? I''m sad." Shakti was about to cry when she saw the beauties next to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"No one could rece you, Shakti,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Really?! Really?!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm," It was impossible to find a lively person like her.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, Keith, we found a strange vegetable in the dungeon. Do you want it?" Morgan knew about Keith''s hobby of finding new ingredients, so it would be fine to bring it to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Sure! I would love it." Keith grinned, "What do you have for me?"
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Shakti had found this." Morgan then raised a giant fruit. Well, it was bumpy and had orange skin. Keith blinked a few items as his eyes went wide.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"What is that?" Madison tilted her head. Angelica and Sakura were the same. They had never seen something like that before. Shakti scratched her head, "I thought it was pretty interesting. But I guess it''s nothing."
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"No! It''s perfect! Thank you so much!" Keith didn''t hesitate as he hugged Shakti!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? Well, I- I – "Shakti became a suddenly broken record while the rest were bbergasted as to how he was acting. It was quite a strange sight.
