Chapter 160 - White Amber (1/2)
This exotic beast shop was large, with square-shaped cages stacked up on the left and right, containing small or medium-sized pets of different shapes and colors.
Although there were many animals, there was no odor in this shop, only a peculiar medicinal fragrance.
Roland reckoned that it was this medicinal fragrance that covered up the body odor of those exotic animals.
Moreover, these cages were very clean, so presumably, someone had been taking care of them from time to time.
When Roland entered the shop, he discovered many strange exotic beasts.
Rabbits with long horns, lizards with a tuft of fire feathers on their foreheads, six-legged birds that looked like a platypus, and so on.
Vivian pointed at the vast array of exotic beasts in the shop and said, “Deputy Chairman, take whichever one you like, I’ll give it to you.”
The attendants in the shop had already recognized Vivian and stood to the side casually waiting for her orders.
Roland walked around the shop. He essentially had no interest in what kind of pet he would contract, but simply wanted to find a kind of magic pet that the players on the forum hadn’t contracted yet while learning about their abilities and skills.
“You can help me choose.”
Roland looked around and found that there were indeed a wide variety of exotic beasts, and almost all of them were types that the players on the forum hadn’t contracted. Spellcasters only had one chance to contract a magic pet, so it was all the same to him whichever one was chosen.
He didn’t think it mattered which one it was.
But Vivian didn’t see it that way. Contracting a magic pet was a rather important, if not sacred, thing for NPC mages like herself.
What kind of magic pet they chose, and what kind of abilities the pet would have, they would usually not let outsiders know.
And yet, Roland had left such an important matter for Vivian to decide.
What did this mean?
He trusted her very much.
Vivian’s eyes became watery all of a sudden. She suddenly thought of something very important and took the initiative to take Roland’s hand again. “These exotic beasts are so-so, let’s go to my house, I’ll give you the White Amber.”
White Amber?
Vivian led him from the street to the manor, which wasn’t that far away, about a thirty-minute walk.
Vivian’s home was in a wealthy area in the north of the city. Although it wasn’t large, it was still a rather luxurious villa.
The entrance of the villa was also guarded by several private guards whose physiques looked average. When they saw Vivian, they opened the door on their own accord, then looked at Roland whom Vivian was pulling along with a surprised look.
It was the first time their lady had ever brought a man back.
When they entered the small building, an old man who looked like a butler immediately welcomed them and smiled quite happily. “Miss, don’t tire yourself. h.e.l.lo, Mr. Roland.”
Roland was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t even introduced himself yet, and the other party already knew his ident.i.ty?
Seemingly having read Roland’s mind, the butler said matter-of-factly, “If the lady brings home a male friend, then it must be Sir Roland.”
Hmm… Thinking of the key that was lying quietly in his Backpack, Roland also understood what the reason was.
As Vivian’s cheeks flushed red, she glared at the butler, then asked, “Where are my father and mother?”
“They went to the Corseys.”
“Where’s my big brother and second brother?”
“Out on a hunting trip.”
Vivian was relieved and said, “Send some fruit wine to my room later, and make it Green Rain Fruit flavored.”
Having been Roland’s “secretary” for almost a little over half a year, Vivian naturally knew what flavor of fruit wine Roland loved the most.
She then dragged Roland up to the fourth floor and into a room filled with the scent of pear blossoms.
The room was decorated girlishly, and the color palette was mainly light pink.
