Chapter 491: Reaching an Understanding (1/2)
Kai looked at the bird in silence before narrowing his eyes, finding something was wrong with the bird.
The wolf also noticed it and said, ”(Damn, you. You don't even recognize me?)”
The eagle finally came to his senses before looking at the wolf with a frown. ”(What are you doing here? This is my territory.)”
”(I know. I'm here to guide a person to see you.)” The wolf shook his head and glanced at Kai.
The eagle then turned to Kai, finding he was a human. The eagle became a bit agitated as he asked, ”(Why would a human trespass my territory? Since you want death, I will give you.)”
”(He is no ordinary human. He is a King.)” The wolf stopped him before any fight started, not wanting the eagle to die.
Kai, on the other hand, noticed something inside the cave. The breath was weak. This creature had a small size, but he could see a similar shape to the eagle before him.
Hence, he asked, ”(Do you have a problem? I can hear someone with a similar body like you inside the cave and its breath is very weak.)”
The eagle widened his eyes and opened its wing, trying to stop Kai from entering the cave as if he was hiding something.
The wolf then realized and asked, ”(Your Son… Did something happen to your son?)”
”(He is fine. He is the son of the great me. There's no way he will die from the fall.)” The eagle let out a loud cry until its voice cracked a bit, indirectly telling both of them that he wasn't fine.
Kai thought for a moment and said, ”(Maybe I can see him first and ask a specialist to see whether I can help or not?)”
Kai offered his help in order to gain the trust of the eagle, but the eagle rejected him immediately. ”(I won't trust you!)”
”(He is the king.)” The wolf reminded him before helping Kai convince the eagle, ”(I know that you don't trust anyone with that pride of yours, but isn't it fine just to let him see your son? It's good that he can help him.)”
The eagle hesitated again and glanced at Kai and the cave back and forth.
After a while, the eagle nodded its head and stepped aside.
Before entering the cave, Kai actually took out his Device, calling his Teacher instead of Evan.
”What? Do you need anything from me?”
”Actually, I would like to ask a question. Do you know anything about eagles?”
”How random… And why the heck are you even asking me that kind of question? Don't tell me. You can listen to magical beasts' conversation right now… I know that your ears are abnormal, but this one is beyond ridiculous.”
Kai chuckled and asked, ”Can you?”
”I am not a vet. You should ask a vet for this, but since it's unprecedented for a human to talk to magical beasts, I guess it will bring a lot of controversy because of you. I will call my friend once and ask something necessary about it. What's this all about?”
”There seems to be an injured eagle, but I don't know the exact details.”
”Okay. I will ask him first. You can check the eagle.”
”Understood. Thanks.” Kai hung up and asked, ”Can I meet your son?”
Seeing Kai asking for his permission again even though he had stepped aside, the eagle finally stopped his attitude, knowing that Kai respected him. He then nodded. ”Please.”
The eagle didn't follow him inside even though he was still worried.
Kai smiled and thanked him before entering the cave. The light was quite dim, so he used his Device to generate more light for him to see the front.
He walked closer and closer to the eagle's son, which had the same appearance as its father, except for the size. Before him was a small eagle half of a human's size, but he realized that he was covered with blood.
There were some wounds around his wings and body.
When the eagle saw him, he became vigilant, albeit his body was too weak to even move. He simply remained laying down on the ground as he heard Kai's voice.
”(Don't worry. I won't hurt you. Your father is outside as well. I just want to look at your condition.)”
Knowing that his father had given him the permission as well as having no strength to fight back, the eagle dropped its guard and let Kai do whatever he wanted.
