Chapter 542: Giant Wolf Den
The swiftly moving carriage arrived at the wolf tribe’s settlement.
Having already received advance notice from the scouting soldiers, Li Ke was naturally waiting outside the tribe to welcome Luo Ji.
The carriage stopped, and the door opened.
Seeing Luo Ji step out, Li Ke quickly moved forward.
“Your humble subordinate Li Ke greets Your Majesty!”
“Enough with the formalities.”
Luo Ji helped Li Ke up with one hand, while awkwardly glancing back at Gawain, who was cowering behind him.
“Can you be any more timid?”
Gawain’s face was flushed with embarrassment.
“N-no, I can’t, Your Majesty! It’s a goblin’s instinct, a goblin’s instinct!”
As beastmen, wolfmen indeed appeared quite ferocious.
Even some humans unfamiliar with them would feel a nervous tremor when standing before them, let alone timid goblins.
It was then that Li Ke, standing there, noticed Gawain’s presence.
So, a small green-skinned figure had been hiding behind their Emperor.
In recent times, Li Ke had been busy with his wolf tribe’s affairs and was genuinely unaware of the latest changes in Myriad World Civilization.
He clearly didn’t recognize the new goblin race.
At this point, Luo Ji needed to make the introductions himself.
Luo Ji didn’t hesitate, speaking plainly.
“This is Gawain, the Goblin King of the goblin race. And this is Li Ke, the tribal chief of the wolfmen. You two, get acquainted. Remember to coexist peacefully between your two races from now on.”
Li Ke nodded at Gawain, which served as his greeting.
Due to the wolfmen’s nature, he simply couldn’t muster much enthusiasm for the goblin race, with whom he wasn’t yet familiar.
Luo Ji naturally wouldn’t force anything on this matter.
After all, they would all be living in the same civilization from now on, and there would be plenty of time for them to become acquainted.
“Let’s go, let’s see the Giant Wolves you’ve captured.”
This, without a doubt, was the purpose of Luo Ji’s visit.
“Your Majesty, please follow me.”
Upon mentioning this, Li Ke’s mood brightened immensely.
His wolf face involuntarily stretched into a grin, revealing two rows of unnerving fangs.
The smile looked rather menacing, making Gawain nearly hide behind Luo Ji again.
Following Li Ke into the wolf tribe’s settlement, the surrounding wolfmen all bowed respectfully upon seeing Luo Ji.
This demonstrated Luo Ji’s deep prestige within the wolf tribe, causing Gawain, who was following with his short legs, to marvel inwardly.
Luo Ji, meanwhile, waved in response to the surrounding wolfmen while surveying the almost completely renovated wolf tribe settlement.
The changes in the wolf tribe were undeniably massive.
After all, it involved adding two large structures: the Giant Wolf Den and the Wolf Training Ground.
The entire layout of the tribe had to be redesigned.
After all this work, it had completely transformed into a new appearance, now resembling a proper small town.
Led by Li Ke, the group soon arrived outside the Giant Wolf Den.
The building was large, somewhat resembling a stable from the outside.
Upon entering, the scent of wild beasts assaulted them.
The sound of powerful beasts tugging at chains, mixed with low growls, reached Luo Ji’s ears.
The violent commotion caused Gawain, who was following behind, to shiver on the spot.
However, his curiosity about new creatures still compelled him to step onto a small stool nearby and peer inside.
It had to be said, the interior of this Giant Wolf Den bore some resemblance to a stable, with individual partitioned stalls.
Places for housing mounts were generally similar, so there was nothing particularly surprising about that.
Of course, the spaces were much more spacious than typical stables.
Gawain’s gaze swept around before finally settling on a relatively docile Giant Wolf.
Looking at the Giant Wolf sprawled lazily on the straw in its stall, seemingly on the verge of sleep, Gawain secretly clicked his tongue in wonder.
The appearance of this Giant Wolf was unremarkable, but its size was truly enormous.
Its body length appeared to exceed 3 meters.
Its height couldn’t be confirmed at the moment because the Giant Wolf was lying in its den, sleeping.
The Giant Wolf’s lazy demeanor significantly put Gawain at ease.
Just as he intended to get a closer look, the wolfman standing outside that particular den suddenly poked the Giant Wolf fiercely with a long wooden stick.
This poke was like stirring a hornet’s nest.
The Giant Wolf, which had been on the verge of sleep a moment ago, suddenly erupted from its den with a roar.
The fierce aura that almost assaulted him scared Gawain so much that he directly fell off the small stool.
“What, what, what are you doing?! It was sleeping perfectly fine, why did you suddenly poke it?!”
Gawain, still shaken, stared at the wolfman standing by the den with the stick, who looked utterly innocent.
Luo Ji, standing there, shook his head, speechless.
“Get up, they’re taming Giant Wolves. Don’t get in their way.”
“T-taming?”
Gawain, still startled, breathed rapidly, his heart pounding.
The Giant Wolf’s sudden eruption had nearly scared him to death.
“Yes, taming.”
Luo Ji nodded.
Having read the system guide, he naturally knew this process.
“These Giant Wolves are inherently ferocious. To train them as mounts, you first have to wear them down. Don’t let them sleep, don’t give them food, make them tired and hungry, so they don’t have the energy to cause trouble. After a period of that, you proceed to the next step…”
As he spoke, Luo Ji gestured around.
“And this entire process must be personally carried out by the riders. Look, there’s a wolfman standing next to each den; they are the future masters of these Giant Wolves.”
Listening to Luo Ji’s explanation, Gawain’s emotions gradually calmed down.
But then, he felt a new wave of anxiety.
In his moment of extreme fright, he had apparently directly questioned that rather fierce-looking wolfman loudly.
Thinking back, if that wolfman had taken offense, wouldn’t he be in danger?
With this thought, Gawain cautiously checked.
Only after seeing that the wolfman completely ignored him did he relax.
Then he continued.
“But if you torment them like this, what if one of these Giant Wolves goes berserk and breaks out?”
“They won’t.”
Luo Ji said, pointing into the den, seeing Gawain still clearly shaken.
“Around each Giant Wolf, four bronze stakes have been driven almost two meters into the earth. The exposed ends of these stakes are connected to chains, which are used to restrain these Giant Wolves.”
“At the same time, these Giant Wolves have also been fitted with bronze muzzles. Their limbs are now all chained, and they can’t even open their mouths. They generally can’t harm anyone.”
