Chapter 198: Great Reward
Chapter 198: Great Reward
To say that the academy was busy was a massive understatement. There were so many parents, students, and merchants around that Clark wondered how anyone could ever keep up with security.
This question was answered very fast though. He saw one of the professors surrounded by four large gray wolves. They were not anything like the wolves he had seen before. They were almost triple the size making them tower over humans. Their teeth could easily split a skull. He was not ashamed to admit that he felt a slight fear looking at them even though he had not done anything wrong.
'Great wolf- Rare
The great wolf is similar to a common wolf beast. However, the pure wolf bloodline within them has been awakened. This can only be done if the tamer raising them has defeated an alpha wolf in hand to hand combat. Any tamer that can boast this deserves praise above many.
The great wolf is known for growing to large sizes and having massive strength. Paired with their impeccable tracking abilities, the great wolf is considered an apex predator or when working with a tamer, a perfect enforcer. Not many can go against them if they are enforcing the rules. Their strength easily overpowers most humans.
The best…'
"Wow, those great wolves are amazon. I didn't know that four professors raised great wolves." Isa was very amazed by this. She and Maira had originally thought they looked fluffy before Isa noticed three other professors watching the crowd with multiple great wolves by their side.
"That's not even the half of it. Each of those professors defeated an alpha wolf with their hands. That means they are as strong if not stronger. Don't go breaking the rules while these merchants are here." Clark sounded very impressed which was saying a lot.
"The strength required to rear a physically powerful beast always goes up over time. It is unlike the behemoth or elephant species I have read about. Those require great quantities of food. Sizeable beasts might require strength or food. Others are more unique." Ella opened up their perspectives of why some beasts might be harder to tame than others.
"That's why we rely on eggs so much. We don't have to worry about trying to claim the beast's approval in the wild. That doesn't mean that only the eggs we hatch are the most powerful though." Clark was well aware that some eggs had requirements to be raised by a parent or else they would not hatch, no matter what people did.
"So, what should we do? Should we try and set up a place for people to challenge our evaluations, or will we show then draw people to the lab?" Maria wasn't sure what Isa had in Mind. There were a lot of things they could do.
"I want Clark to go and find some good materials. We will display them while the three of us set up a place. Clark has all the gold, silver, and bronze coins anyways. He is the one in charge of everything when I want to buy unique materials." Isa had never said this out loud before. But it was an unspoken rule before this.
"I will find good things then. I was studying a bit last night after you all left." As much as Clark didn't want to lie, he did actually stay awake studying. He had looked in to his energy absorption and studied the area where the egg was sitting in his taming space.
There were many mysteries in the edens end taming space. Why were there more materials inside than Clark had used? Most of the time a space would grow as the tamer grew. But this one had already been formed but was locked away. Was it the system or was it some legacy that the system was passing down?
All these questions were moving through Clark's mind as he saw the three girls leave him behind. Now it was his time to find the materials he could use to attract the people with the most money. The people that could give them the proper backing to do what they wanted.
"Hmm, maybe we can even rent a dungeon for a few days." The idea of doing so was the first time the theory had croissant Clark's mind.
Renting a dungeon was not what most people at his standing could afford. It was reserved for the soldiers and those with a lot of financial power. That was unless they owned the dungeon, then they could use it as much as they wanted.
However, since Alexander was going to be dropping Clark in to a dangerous dungeon that every student he had must go through, it meant that he should get more dungeon experience. It would be better for him in the future.
'Quest- find the hidden gems
The mass meeting of merchants, professional adventurers, and unique individuals has caused many items to be removed from personal storages. These items may not show themselves for a long time. The host has gained a lot of recent political power due to rumors. Use it well.
Requirement- Find ten unique materials related to the beasts of your team's beasts.
Reward- Unique material for the little spirit's growth, one large pure shadow crystal, five baby dragon teeth.'
Clark was completely stunned. Those that were walking around him wondered why someone had stopped in shock while in the middle of the street. It was not something normal at all.
"This is too much." As Clark reread the rewards he was finding them less and less believable. A unique material for Devi? Devi had been training his energy carefully for days now. He needed a material to boost his strength before Clark went out to get them all more battle experience.
Then there was the shadow crystal. It meant that the egg might have a chance at hatching. The egg had been gaining energy constantly while in the taming space but the progress was clearly too slow to help it hatch immediately.
The baby dragon teeth were another major bonus. They would go well with the skeleton that Crim had formed in his body with slime. Yes he could make it move like normal slime but when activated, the skeleton would increase Crim's power. Add baby dragon teeth to that…Crim would have an even more devastating bite.
His eyes became focused. They began to scan every single stall where a merchant had thrown together a selection of goods. Many potions were offered while some pieces of armors were as well. But those were nothing to Clark's eyes. His team had made a solid amount of money in the last few days. He hadn't even included any of the money he had found in the crate with the materials.
That hadn't even been worth mentioning since the crystals were already exceptionally valuable. The money was just considered a common gift between any powerful individual.
' ore amalgamation- ultra rare
The ore amalgamation is a very rare material that not many can find or use. Even beasts have an extremely tough time consuming it. This is because the ore veins where this amalgamation is formed cross due to earthquakes and other odd shifts in the earth. This makes it an ideal material to use as the center of a beast's body formation. Especially those with high earth affinity. The ores…'
"And what can I help you with today sir?" The merchant was very polite when he saw a student looking at his goods. He had been lucky enough to get in to the academy with his identification and being able to sell anything was a blessing. "I have some breeze grass here, a few health potions of the lowest quality, and a few gold rings that could make excellent gifts."
"Actually, I want these rocks. They are tough and contain some ores. It would be an interesting material to write my theory about." The merchant had just started hearing rumors about Clark. However, that did not mean he was able to discern who the student was in front of him.
"I heard that researching is becoming more popular lately among the academy's students. I can give you a bulk deal. Buy ten of those rocks and I will give you a larger one free." The merchant thought he was hooking a good deal but realistically, he knew that the ores were mixed and had defects. This meant he could clear out a poor good and buy other things to sell again.
"That is a good deal. I would like these ten and that one large one." Clark sneakily grabbed the best ore mixes that could be used for armors while he took the ore amalgamation as the material for his quest. He had to get the results, without the rewards he felt that he would be stuck for some time.
"Perfect! Would you like them wrapped up or will you take them away?" The merchant didn't even haggle, he was happy to have someone handing him the bronze coins for the useless goods.
