Chapter 499: Past And Present (1/2)
Tang Shaoyang walked back to Biaska Town with his right hand holding Aki with Nol latched on its back. He hung them in the air while the little kitten was still sleeping soundly on his shoulder. Of course, he had returned to his human form.
He was not in a hurry to return, so he walked at his pace in the dark forest. It took him thirty minutes to return to the town. There was no guard outside the gate, he knocked on the door three times, ”Hello, Sir? Can you open the door for me?”
A small gap of the door opened as an eye looked through. Upon seeing Tang Shaoyang, the door then fully opened. It was the same guard who tried to remind him how dangerous the Gigante Forest was at night. ”Oh, you are back. That's right, you should go tomor-” the words stopped midway when the guard saw what was in his hand.
The pair of grandpa and grandson was an eye-catching sight, the guard's eyes drew toward the two. He immediately cast [Basic Detection] on the monster. The guard's face lost its color as he subconsciously took two steps backward. The guard then looked toward Tang Shaoyang in shock.
However, the guard quickly noticed that there was another creature on his shoulder. He saw the sleeping little kitten. To make sure he did not see wrong, the guard cast another detection on the kitten. The guard's jaw dropped.
He understood how the man could get the Dark Tremor beastmen since the Dark Tremor lived in the outer region of the Gigante Forest. However, The Dark Predator was another matter. It lived in the deeper part of the Gigante Forest, so how could this man get the Infant Dark Predator.
'Wait a minute, it's an Infant Dark Predator? Does that mean this man snuck into the Dark Predator's nest and stole the Infant Dark Predator?' the guard realized something and pointed his hand at Tang Shaoyang, ”You! You are not allowed to bring that into the town or the parents will attack the town!”
Tang Shaoyang followed the finger and realized that the guard was pointing at the little glutton, he waved his hand, ”Don't worry, Sir. I found this little one in the outer territory. Its parents left this little one behind because this one is born with deficiency. You don't need to worry about its parents.”
That was the plausible explanation of what happened to this Infant Dark Predator if its parents were not dead. From Rosalie's words, Dark Predator was big but this one was too small even for an Infant Dark Predator.
Hearing the explanation, the guard paused for a moment and thought of it. He found Tang Shaoyang's words reasonable. Moreover, it was too soon for Tang Shaoyang to return if he really went into the deeper part of the Gigante Forest. Added with the time to steal the infant, Tang Shaoyang should return a few hours later or in the morning.
”What about that one? Are sure that thing would not hurt anyone in the town? That thing had a dangerous class!” The guard pointed at Aki and Nol. He wanted the assurance from Tang Shaoyang that the beastmen would not hurt the people in the town. It was his duty as a guard, after all.
”Don't worry, this thing promised me to not hurt anyone unless someone else started it first. Also, if you are worried about that, you can ask Aki to sign a contract system. This guy is an intelligent Dark Tremor.” Tang Shaoyang hit the back of Aki's head and said, ”Speak to the guard!”
”Don't worry sir, I will not hurt anyone unless the other person tries to harm me first. Just like my Master said, we can sign a system contract if you need assurance.” Aki said with his comfortable and gentle voice. It eased the guard, his shoulders slumped relaxedly, and nodded, ”Alright, follow me to the office. All beasts or beastmen that want to enter the town have to be registered. If the beastmen or the beast are causing the trouble, we will ask for their Master to be responsible. Are you still willing to bring them into the town, Sir?” The guard became even more respectful when he addressed Tang Shaoyang.
”I don't mind, let's get the registration done quickly.” Tang Shaoyang nodded and followed the guard.
”Oy, look at the gate for me. I need to take care of them!” The guard called his friend while pointing at Tang Shaoyang with his thumb.
