Chapter 543: Overjoyed
Giant wolves are pack animals, which saved Li Ke and his men a lot of trouble.
After a few rounds, the stalls in the Giant Wolf Den were full.
“Li Ke, aren’t you going to get a mount for yourself?”
Luo Ji asked casually as he walked.
Li Ke shook his head.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, your humble subordinate is not well-suited to be a Wolf Rider. I am more suited to be a Swift Wolf Warrior.”
Luo Ji nodded in understanding.
Indeed, Li Ke was skilled with twin blades and employed a fast-attack style.
From a positioning standpoint, the Swift Wolf Warrior path was clearly more suitable for him compared to a Wolf Rider.
“Now that you’ve learned the tactics of the Swift Wolf Warriors, I presume your strength is even greater than before?”
Li Ke’s expression clearly brightened at the mention of this.
“Thanks to Your Majesty, your humble subordinate’s strength has indeed improved.”
In the past, Li Ke’s strength was formidable, but his fighting style lacked any specific tactics, relying purely on speed.
However, just as there are slow tactics, there are also fast tactics!
The Swift Wolf Warrior fighting style was undoubtedly tailor-made for wolfman warriors.
It maximized the wolfmen’s physical advantages, further enhancing their individual combat capabilities.
Back to the main topic.
With the efficiency bonus from the Giant Wolf Den, the taming of Giant Wolf mounts should be significantly faster.
He estimated the first batch would be ready in about a month.
At that time, he could further study the advantages and disadvantages of Wolf Riders compared to ordinary cavalry.
With this thought, after observing the Giant Wolves and the training of the Swift Wolf Warriors, Luo Ji did not linger in the wolf tribe.
He left that same day.
However, since he was already out, he naturally couldn’t resist visiting other cities along the way.
Thus, Luo Ji’s next stop was White River City.
He intended to check on Liu Meng’s condition.
Several months ago, in the battle against Harold, Liu Meng was directly struck by an ice bear and suffered internal injuries.
There’s an old saying,”A hundred days for a bone injury to heal.”
If even bone and sinew injuries take a hundred days to recover, how much longer for internal injuries?
Luo Ji’s visit was low-key this time.
He didn’t have anyone announce his arrival.
However, given his status, he still arrived at Liu Meng’s residence without hindrance.
As soon as he entered, he heard a considerable noise from the courtyard.
Approaching, he saw Liu Meng, dressed in casual clothes, practicing martial arts in the courtyard.
He wielded a bronze battle sword with powerful, whistling movements.
He looked nothing like someone who had been injured.
A quick glance at Liu Meng’s attribute panel showed no anomalies either.
This greatly relieved Luo Ji.
It seemed his aged wild ginseng had indeed been effective.
Just as Luo Ji was thinking this, Liu Meng in the courtyard clearly noticed Luo Ji and his escort standing outside.
He was startled for a moment, then quickly put his bronze battle sword back on the weapon rack.
“Your humble subordinate Liu Meng greets Your Majesty!”
“Alright, no need to be so formal. I was just passing by and wanted to see how well your injuries have recovered.”
Luo Ji waved his hand casually.
Liu Meng, hearing this, was deeply moved.
“Thanks to the aged wild ginseng bestowed by Your Majesty, your humble subordinate’s injuries have now fully healed.”
“Good.
” Luo Ji nodded.
“In future battles against enemies, you must still be cautious and not careless.”
“Your humble subordinate is ashamed. After that incident, I have been reflecting upon myself for these past few months.”
Liu Meng said, his face showing clear shame.
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, your humble subordinate will never make such a mistake again.”
Luo Ji was satisfied with Liu Meng’s repentant attitude.
Furthermore, several months had passed since the incident, so Luo Ji naturally had no intention of punishing him.
After a few brief cautions and a night’s rest in White River City, he departed for Mirror City by carriage the next morning.
However, only halfway there, the swiftly moving carriage suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on?”
Luo Ji asked, looking at Zhou Cang, who had ridden up to the carriage.
Facing Luo Ji’s question, Zhou Cang spoke with a joyful expression.
“Your Majesty, look up at the sky!”
“The sky?”
Just as Luo Ji wondered, a piercing eagle cry reached his ears, making his heart leap.
Without time to think, Luo Ji pushed open the carriage door and stepped out.
Looking up, he saw a dark silhouette soaring across the distant sky, its speed astonishing.
Luo Ji quickly took out the jade whistle from his pocket and blew it.
The whistle echoed in the air.
After about two breaths’ time, accompanied by another eagle cry, the distant dark silhouette, drawn by the whistle, turned back!
Seeing this, Zhou Cang quickly removed the leather arm guard from his arm and handed it to Luo Ji.
Luo Ji put on the arm guard and raised his arm.
At that moment, he heard a thud as wings flapped, and with a rush of air, a majestic black eagle landed on Luo Ji’s arm.
After some time, Shadow had clearly fully grown.
With a spread of its wings, it directly blocked the sun above Luo Ji’s head.
Its wingspan was estimated to be over 2 meters!
Then, before Luo Ji could even be surprised for a second, something even more unexpected happened.
[System Notification: Congratulations, Player ‘Luo Ji’, you have acquired the Divine Eagle, ‘Shadow!’]
Luo Ji’s expression froze at the system notification.
Then, he quickly understood.
Even an eagle with the best bloodline could potentially be raised poorly.
Therefore, the system wouldn’t make any judgment until Shadow truly matured.
And now, without a doubt, his Divine Eagle had fully grown!
Suppressing his excitement, Luo Ji casually pulled, and Shadow’s attribute panel unfolded.
[Name: Shadow
Species: Gyrfalcon
Description: Only one Haidongqing appears among a hundred thousand divine eagles. Shadow, with its completely black eagle feathers, is of the highest quality! Its speed is like a shadowy phantom! Few in the world can compare to it.
Effects: Guardian: ‘Shadow’ possesses spiritual awareness, capable of detecting hostility and actively attacking potential enemies nearby to protect its master!
Combat Aid: In battle, ‘Shadow’ will assist its master in attacking enemies!
Eagle Messenger: ‘Shadow’ can remember places it has visited and deliver messages for its master.]
Luo Ji was overjoyed looking at Shadow’s attribute panel.
The resentment he had accumulated from the little fellow being wild for so long immediately vanished completely.
Reaching out to gently stroke Shadow’s feathers, Luo Ji’s eyes were full of fondness.
“You’re not allowed to leave for so long without a word again, understand?”
