I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 8: Gem Fox is not a human, but Mina, you are a real dog (first update)
Looking at the whole Ansu, few people care about the surname Ernst. It is quite unknown.

But in the Silver Hand, it was deafening.

Igor looked the visitor up and down.

A boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with gray hair and light blue eyes.

Well, you don’t need to look, you can recognize it just by the gray hair.

This is definitely the seedling of the Ernst family.

"Your father is Mist?"

Igor asked.

Mina wiped the tea leaves from her face.

I blinked and didn't expect to meet someone acquaintance of my dad.

Seeing Mina like this, Igor laughed out loud, and the 1.9-meter-tall bald head stood up suddenly.

Patting Mina's shoulder vigorously.

The big hand was like a hammer, hitting Mina's shoulder bones so hard that they cracked.

It’s broken!
It’s broken!!!
He said why it looked so familiar, he didn't expect it was a child from Ernst's family.

Igor briefly introduced himself. "When your father and I were young, we formed a team together and fought together..."

To sum up, Mina is Dad’s old comrade-in-arms.

The word "Hello, uncle" immediately made Igor burst into laughter.

"But your physique doesn't look like that of the Ernst family. You have fourth-level magic power? What's your occupation now? Huh? You're not a mage, are you? Holy shit, how come you're a life mage? Don't tell me that two of your four magic positions are for making water and food, holy shit."

Igor couldn't accept it for a moment.

The only child in a family with three generations of ancestors being so powerful, turned out to be a wizard who could only knead bread.

This is really a bit out of style.

"Igor, what are you crazy about? I asked you to take over the shift, and it's only been ten minutes, and I heard you yelling in the front. The jewel fox in the back still doesn't want to eat. I'm afraid it's going to die... Eh? Who is this handsome boy?"

The one who was speaking had big wavy, blonde hair.

It's the big waves that make Mina look at it again and again, understand?
He was in his early twenties and wore a pair of red glasses with lower half frames.

He glanced at Mina and his eyes lit up.

He immediately took two quick steps to Mina's side, and was immediately delighted when he smelled it.

"Someone from the Ernst family?"

Mina was really stunned.

How did she know?
"A little trick of an assassin." The big-wavy lady with glasses smiled and said, "My name is Isara, hello little one."

She saw the application form on the table and smiled.

"Mina, right? Although you are from the Ernst family, if you want to join the Silver Hand, you must pass the subsequent assessment. Yes, that's right, I won't let you take the back door."

Even so, Isara collected basic information about Mina.

It can be considered as a preliminary review.

"Not bad, little guy, a fourth-level mage, who has actually reached the silver level of meal-making skills. That's good."

Issara looked at Mina with great satisfaction.

After all, these days, there are very few mages who specialize in life skills, and he is so young, it seems that he can endure loneliness.

A young man like this is obviously a loyal person and will not be led astray by those guys in the group.

"Yi..."

"Call me Sister La."

"La sis."

Mina finally asked the name that he had been curious about ever since Isara appeared.

The jewel fox is the third pet that Mina has always wanted.

"Ah, you mean that little fellow."

Isara smiled and said, "We found it when we went down the maze. It had good talent and we wanted to keep it, but because it is shy and picky about food, it is severely malnourished and is no longer suitable for a contract."

Mina blinked: "Can I go and see?"

Isara hesitated for a moment. Although their small office was not large, it was still considered as an internal part of the Silver Hand, and outsiders were not allowed to enter.

but……

I remembered the letter from Father Mina in the East Territory a few days ago...

Issara and Igor looked at each other.

Igor laughed and patted Mina on the shoulder, almost knocking him into the ground.

"Mister's son, you must do it here with me."

Mina followed Igor, rubbing his aching shoulder.

Why do I suddenly feel like I don't want to join the Silver Hand?

In the backyard of the Silver Hand office, Mina saw the little guy.

It was a small fox only two palms big, with gray-brown fur, a fluffy tail, and a pair of big black eyes staring at Mina who was approaching. The jewel fox was a very smart magical pet with a strong learning ability. It was the basic form of the legendary nine-tailed fox.

Because of their outstanding appearance, they have always been quite popular in the circle of female aristocrats... and many of them are kept as pets.

However, it is difficult to evolve, there are too many skills to learn, and various high-quality gem tails are required. It is too difficult to breed. Most mages will not choose the Gem Fox as their first magical pet, except for rich women.

Mina took three steps closer, and the little guy's ears stood up. He stepped back repeatedly and slammed into the cage. He had nowhere to retreat, so he just bared his teeth and stared at Mina, his eyes full of vigilance.

Mina raised his hands, but the little guy was still baring his teeth.

There's a kind of... cuteness that's a little fierce.

"I was very cautious when I brought it back, but at least I ate some barbecue. Now I don't even eat barbecue." Igor was speechless.

Generally, jewel foxes in breeding kennels are easy to feed, and they are fed what people eat.

It's not that difficult to please.

To be honest, Igor already felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should have sold it directly to the Monster Breeding House.

Mina stroked his chin and circled the little guy again and again.

The more I look, the more I like it.

Then with a flip of his wrist, a piece of magic bread appeared in Mina's hand.

handed over.

The little guy still bared his teeth, unmoved.

"We tried regular magic bread, and it didn't work at all."

Igor yelled in a loud voice.

Mina nodded.

It seems so.

He stuffed the bread into his mouth.

Another piece of magic bread was rolled out, and then a flame lit up, heating the bread.

Immediately, a rich aroma hits your nose.

The roasted meat had a toasty aroma.

The little fox's ears suddenly stood up and he stared at the magic bread.

Little nose sniffs.

The bared teeth just closed.

There seemed to be signs of swallowing saliva.

Want to eat?

Mina glanced at it.

Handing it forward, the little guy obviously hesitated for a moment, then immediately grinned again.

You want to bribe me with a piece of broken bread? Haha, forget it.

Igor opened his mouth. He was about to persuade Mina not to waste his time, but he saw the little guy's appearance.

Damn it.

What on earth is that magic bread? The aroma made even him drool.

Is this the silver dining technique?
Mina found that the little guy really stopped baring his teeth.

Maybe the aroma of the magic bread was too tempting, or maybe the little guy was just too hungry.

Anyway, the little guy's big black eyes followed the magic bread at this time.

When Mina turned left, the little guy looked left.

When Mina turned right, the little guy looked to the right.

Mina stuffed it into his mouth again, and the little guy was stunned.

Mina chewed it with big mouthfuls. This grilled teriyaki chicken burger was so delicious.

This guy also has a smacking mouth.

The little fox's face turned green with anger.

He pounced on me with his teeth bared.

There were even two faint magical halos that shouldn't appear at its age.

It's still a second-level one.

A fox can be killed but not humiliated!
Mina laughed. I gave it to you just now but you didn’t eat it. Now it’s gone.

The little fox was so angry that it squeaked and even Igor, a grown man, had his eyes twitching when he heard it.

Mina looked at the bald berserker with a smile. This jewel fox was indeed very talented.

and so.

"Uncle, please sell this little guy to me."
