Taming Master

(1). New Family Member -1 (Beginning of book 2)

“Hey, Lai. Should I take a break?”

Ian shakes his head and sits facedown on the ground, checking the Ice Golem's stats.

Looks very tired.

Leung - Leung -

Since Lai was also troubled, Ian's Rest quickly approached him and lay on his stomach.

“Would you like a Rai Meatball? ”

Ly, who was laying down and closing his eyes, opened his eyes to Meatballs and turned his head toward Ian.

Ian smiles and pulls out a meatball from his bag.

“Eat it. ”

Lai took a meatball from Ian and immediately swallowed it and tasted it.

And the polite message reminded me again.

[The Summoner Li ate a chewy meatball.]

[HP +100 and Agility +20 for 20 min.]

Seeing the taste of Rye again, Ian reached out another meatball.

“Aren't meatballs too small for your size? You want another one? ”

Lai glances at Ian's meatballs and pushes them to Ian.

“Why, don't you want some? ”

At Ian's words, Rye shakes his head.

Grrrrrrrrr!

After thinking for a moment about what it meant, Ian understood Lai's doctor and laughed deeply.

“Oh, you want me to eat? ”

Rye nods.

Knng. Knng.

Ian stroked Rye's head and gave him another meatball.

“Phew, he's a freak. You're thinking about me. But you're going to eat something else. This is yours. ”

Whether he understood that, Lai took another meatball from Ian.

I did not get any system messages this time.

‘Two won't do any good. I thought so... ’

Ian pauses for a moment as Lai falls down and opens the Summoner's Information Window.

In the information window, there were two ice golems in addition to Rye.

Both the Ice Golem levels were 37, and Ian's leadership increased so much that he was able to carry up to three more.

‘They're both fine... but I'm still greedier. ’

Both of the ice golems that Ian captured were more compliant in their stats than most.

He's already caught more than 10 hours of Ice Golems...

But it didn't fit Ian's eyes.

Because of Rye!

‘I don't know anything else... I want to catch evolution as an object... * * ’

Not all monsters had evolvable individuals.

Perhaps he was a special Ryman, and Ian was struggling in vain.

‘But I still trust my gut...! ’

But Ian's feeling was that there must be evolvable individuals among the Ice Golems.

After a five minute rest, Ian slowly got back up again.

“Rya, let's give it a little more strength. I spent 10 hours here, so I'll make sure I get it as a good one! ”

As if he understood everything Ian said, Rye nodded and breathed.

Grrrrr!

“You think this one understands me better and better? ”

Ian often felt like raising a child around the age of one or two while raising Rai.

At first, I understood very simple commands, but now I understand all the complicated spells.

It's amazing.

“Here, I see an ice golem. But I don't think that's him. ”

Ian had the title 'Golem Expert’ because he had already gone above and beyond when he caught Rye.

So we were able to determine some potential individuals.

And after searching a few more places, I found this guy whose name glowed gold.

‘There he is. But I'm glad the golden name came out fast this time. ’

Seeing the intensity of the light, Ian decides to catch it and turns his head toward Lai, though it may not be better than the two he's carrying right now.

And then I tried to give Lai an order, and something strange came into his eyes.

What's that? ’

In Ian's eyes, a small, cute turtle was crawling in a crevice.

Even the turtle was a soybean turtle with a very large head compared to its body size.

However, catching Ian's eye was not his cute and silly appearance.

‘What? The only grade...?! ’

Ian soon forgot the golem's existence and took a careful step toward the turtle.

Then I checked the turtle's information.

[Abyss Turtle/Lv30/Unique Grade]

Abyss Tuttle? I've never heard that name before, have I? ’

If you look at what it looks like, it looks like a useless turtle.

Although she has a big head and looks cute, her combat strength feels really close to zero.

But it's an unknown, rare monster, and I can't just stand by and watch its rank.

‘But we have to catch it first. There must be something...! ’

Ian stops trying to issue an attack order to Lai.

‘I think I'll die if I get hit... Can you get inside the shell because your head is too big? ’

The turtle looked too weak!

Muh-muh-muh-

He even makes strange noises and crouches.

Ian slowly approaches the turtle and gently pats his shell with his staff.

Tuk-tuk-

Then I looked around at Ian the turtle who was crawling around.

Thrash!

The turtle that once tried to hit Ian hides himself inside the shell like a bolt of fire.

“What's this? ”

Ian stares blankly at the turtle shell underneath his feet in an absurd situation.

Can you capture it right away? ’

Ian cast his capture skill just in case.

“Capture!”

And the white light that was stretched out from Ian's hand bounced off the air before it even touched the shell of a turtle.

“What is it? I've never done this before. ”

Even if the capture doesn't succeed at once, the minimum light lingers on the monster and bounces off, but this time it bounces clean off the wall.

Do I need to lower my lifespan? ’

Ian lifts his staff and slaps the turtle's shell.

Of course, he didn't attack so hard.

Uh-huh.

Then came the system message.

[Attacked the ‘Abyssottle’. Deals 1 damage.]

“Too weak? ”

Ian patted the turtle's shell, gradually increasing its strength.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

[Attacked the ‘Abyssottle’. Deals 1 damage.]

[Attacked the ‘Abyssottle’. Deals 1 damage.]

[Attacked the ‘Abyssottle’. Deals 1 damage.]

“What is this? ”

Ian was embarrassed when he did only 1 damage, even though he just hit pretty hard.

Ian slaps the shell with all his might.

Phew!

[Attacked the ‘Abyssottle’. Deals 1 damage.]

However, the scepter bounces off, and the damage is still 1.

“What the hell is this? ”

Rydo tilts his head as he looks around.

Grrrrrrr?

“Rya, ask him. ”

Lai bites the shell on Ian's orders, but the result is no different.

Rather, Rye was whining whether his teeth hurt.

How much defense do you have? ’

After beating for a long time, Ian realized that there would be no answer in this way.

“Hmm…. ”

Ian crouched in front of the turtle and was thinking for a while, but he suddenly woke up with a sudden thought.

"Hehe, shall I try to seduce you with something to eat? ’

Ian picks up a meatball that Harin gave him from his inventory.

Then I placed the meatballs in front of the hole where the turtle head was.

“Turtle, this is really delicious. You're gonna regret this if you don't. ”

Ian is trying to talk to a turtle.

And Ian sat in front of him and waited.

"After a fight with your mom, you're supposed to leave the door open when the chicken delivery comes!" ’

Delicious food gives off a scent right in front of him, but I didn't believe he could tolerate the subject.

I can't stand it either! ’

I don't suppose you've ever seen anything like this before in a turtle village.

Ian was sure, and waited.

And Ian's wait was not betrayed.

Take it down-

The soybean turtle finally sticks its head out and notices Ian.

And as Ian stood still, the turtles began to eat the meatballs metallurgically.

Seeing that, Ian thought cruelly.

Do you think you can hit him in the head with a snap? ’

But soon, I shook my head.

‘No, I don't think you'll get caught if you hit me while eating. ’

It wasn't Dory, even if I thought of it as a reverse limb.

When I thought someone hit me in the back with a chicken, I realized it was a shameless thing to do.

While Ian was thinking like that, the turtle ate all the meatballs and went back inside the house.

At that time, Ian had a good idea.

‘It's a bit humiliating, but I can't help it. ’

Ian pulls out another meatball and puts it in front of the turtle. This time there was a little distance, not right in front of us.

Then, this time, the turtle's head quickly popped out of the house.

“You have to come to work to eat this turtle. ”

The tortoise began to crawl slowly.

Muh-muh-muh-

The strange sound remained.

And when the turtles are almost there. Ian takes the meatballs that were in front of the turtles cold.

Stink-

The turtle looked at Ian again.

But Ian only laughed a single time.

“If you want this, come with me. ”

A childish and infantile operation!

The turtle shook its shell.

Huh-huh-uh!

I looked at the strange sound as if to protest, but Ian was not so pleasant.

“Let's go with Turtle. I'll give you lots of delicious things. ”

However, the turtle turned its head.

Ian casts a capture skill with a real smile.

“Capture-!"

But again, the capture skill bounced off even before it touched the tortoise's body.

“Turtle, don't you want some of this? ”

Ian picks up the meatballs with his hands and shakes them in the air, turning his head around again.

“Do you think you can find something better than this in this barren land? ”

Ian's attack continues.

“There's more to it than this when you go with your brother. ”

The pupils of the turtle twitched thinly.

- Plenty.

Ian's method smoke reopened.

“Ha, that's a bit of a loss for my brother. ”

Ian pulled out two more meatballs from his inventory.

“I'll pay you three meatballs in advance the moment I sign the contract! ”

I saw three meatballs.

Turtles have lost their minds.

The short legs that were crawling up and down suddenly seemed to be long, but the tortoise running in front of Ian raised its head toward the meatballs.

- Plenty!

And Ian was confident that the deal had been struck.

“Capture!”

The light shot from Ian's hand flew to the turtle, and this time the tortoise's body flashed white and was drawn to Ian.

“Okay!”

Ian clenches his fist.

“You little soybean turtle. Celebrities are easier to seduce than you. ”

Ian mutters an unknown sound, quickly opening the Summoner Information Window to check the turtle's information.

---------------------------------------

Ian reads the information window and once again calls for joy.

"It's even evolvable!! ’

Since Ian had not seen the evolvable subjects of the Ice Golem for ten hours, the phrase "evolvable" was so nice.

But the joy was brief, and Ian was quickly overwhelmed.

"What's with the stats? ’

Especially the defensive and special abilities.

‘That's why no matter how hard I hit him, he didn't giggle. ’

3625 Def when entering the shell.

It was 100 levels of defense against monsters.

‘Ha... What is Agility 5...?' ’

Nonetheless, a stat that does not seem to have much use for combat.

Let's see what you've got. ’

Ian opens more details panes.

And once again, I was disappointed.

"What, even zero potential? Amity is at 10... ’

The sighing figures.

However, Ian is‘ unique ’and evolvable. I was comforted by the reassuring information about the monsters.

"Yes, if we evolve, we might have a huge one!" ’

I tried to ignore the explanation that 'my head is so big that I can't walk fast’.

‘I saw you running so fast for meatballs earlier. ’

Ian sighs low.

“Phew.”

However, for the first time since Rai, I have a new family member.

Ian summoned a turtle.

“Summon!”

In front of Ian, a white swarm of soybean turtles appeared.

W-!

And I remembered that system message of courtesy.

[You have first summoned the ‘Abyssottle’. You can name them.]

“Well…. ”

Ian closed his eyes to concentrate his mind and named the turtle after his thoughts.

“You've got a lot going on today. ”

Wh...?

“Well, that's a lot of cute and nice! ”

W-!

[Lots of people don't like their name.]

[Amity with many people has decreased. Plenty of Loyalty decreases by 5.]

Ian shakes his head.

“What a picky turtle. ”

And the terms of the contract (?), Ian gave three Meatballs to Lots of Meatballs to keep his promise.

[Many like meatballs.]]

[I have increased my intimacy with many people. Increases a lot of loyalty by 10.]

“Haha…. ”

Ian felt that the nature of 'simplicity’ written in the Summoner's Information Window was very accurate.
