It was quite comical to see Duer, with his short, chubby body resembling a ball of flesh, trying to stand on tiptoe and assert his presence.
But contrary to his comical appearance, the words he uttered were extremely sarcastic and biting.
“If I were you, I would immediately kneel before Sir Cowen’s mansion and beg for his forgiveness.”
“You crude country savage, no matter how you disguise yourself, you can never integrate into the Great Yin Empire. You are just a slave kept at will by the nobles.”
“I have a connection with Sir Cowen’s third butler’s nephew. If you can offer up your wife and let me pass her on to Sir Cowen, I might be able to persuade Sir Cowen to spare your life.”
Luo Tian did not respond to the comical dwarf.
To be more precise, that 1.3-meter height was not even within his field of vision.
He simply walked into the pet management office with practiced ease, and the first thing he saw was the knight who had been thrown into the fire lion cage.
At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Sea Worm cub huddled in the corner of the Fire Lion cage, trembling incessantly. The majestic Fire Lion, standing three meters tall, lay prostrate on the ground, its gaze towards the knight shifting uncertainly, as if it were considering something.
Upon seeing Luo Tian look at the knight, Duer immediately let out a sharp sneer:
"I threw your pet into the fire lion cage, intending to give the fire lion an extra meal, but unfortunately the fire lion doesn't seem to like this kind of food."
You can bring your pet out, but you'll need to retrieve it yourself.
His words were full of provocation.
As a keeper, he bears the mark left by an extraordinary beast tamer, so he won't be attacked by these extraordinary creatures he keeps. But Luo Tian, being an ordinary person, might not be so.
If Luo Tianzhen were to actually approach the Fire Lion's cage, he could simply let the Fire Lion severely injure Luo Tian, and then use that opportunity to curry favor with the furious Sir Kevin.
If he can successfully curry favor with Sir Cowen, he can get rid of his awkward status and become a true citizen of the Great Yin Empire.
However, to Duer's surprise, Luo Tian, standing in front of the cage, did not take out his pet, but instead spoke in a cold voice:
"Should you come out on your own, or should I bring you out?"
Duer almost burst out laughing. Even ordinary dogs were afraid of that strange-looking insect, let alone powerful supernatural beings.
In the face of extraordinary creatures, it would be quite courageous for it not to be scared to death; how could it possibly walk out of the cage on its own?
The knight, huddled in the corner trembling, froze, feeling the chilling unease in Luo Tian's words.
The knights started to panic!
As a juvenile Soul Eater, its closeness to Luo Tian is not solely due to their shared origin in Summoner's Rift.
More importantly, it is the only witness to Luo Tian's annihilation of millions of minions and the destruction of Summoner's Rift.
The images in the Soul-Devouring Sea Worm's inherited memories told it that Luo Tian was an existence countless times more terrifying than a mere soldier.
The powerful lion before him instilled fear in the knight, but it paled in comparison to the enraged Luo Tian.
With sharp feet gently stepping into the cage, the knight carefully moved his body from the iron cage toward Luo Tian.
The fiery lion stared intently at the knight, its eyes filled with confusion.
In this strange stalemate, the knight finally moved his small body out of the cage.
Having escaped the Fire Lion's territory, the knight was about to rush towards Luo Tian when he discovered that Luo Tian had spoken again.
A slight smile curved his lips as Luo Tian gazed at the knight and slowly spoke:
"The Soul-Eating Sea Worm can be killed, but it must never be trapped in an iron cage."
Now that someone has thrown you into the cage... it's your turn to put him in!
Chapter Nine: The Knight's Gaze
The knight was stunned.
The young Soul-Devouring Sea Worm tilted its head, its jewel-like eyes gleaming, its face filled with confusion.
As a Soul-Eating Sea Worm cub that could be bullied by a puppy, Knight was always very clear about his own position; he had always been the lowest creature in the food chain of the Pet Management Office.
Let alone facing these extraordinary creatures, it might not even have the courage to fight back against those dogs that bully it every day.
Now, Luo Tian actually made it throw Duer Iron Hammer into the cage, which almost made the knight think he was hallucinating.
Before the knight could even ask Luo Tian, the dwarf Dur couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His fat hands cradled his round belly, and his spherical body was almost rolling to the ground.
"Hahaha! You actually, you actually let such a weak insect throw me into a cage? Did I hear wrong or have you gone mad?"
“Even if you were truly terrified by Sir Cowen, there was no need to say such foolish things.”
"You could say that idiots and trashy bugs are a perfect match!"
......
Ignoring the dwarf Dur's unrestrained mocking laughter, Luo Tian simply watched the knight quietly, waiting for its move.
The knight's movements were somewhat stiff. It tried to gesture with its pointed paws at Luo Tian, attempting to explain that it was not angry about being thrown into the cage, nor did it need to punish the dwarf Duer.
But under Luo Tian's indifferent gaze, the knight's movements slowly came to a halt.
In those clear, black and white eyes, the knight seemed to see Summoner's Rift, a place like purgatory, where the shouts of battle and the howls of the dragon echoed throughout the entire Rift.
In that heretical place in the canyon, that demonic figure reaped those terrifying lives like a machine, each blow shaking this already unstable world.
The knight began to understand that most of the time it only needed to behave itself as a pet to enjoy the protection of Luo Tian.
It doesn't matter if you're a little useless or a little cowardly.
But at certain times, it should also stand up and show its claws as a great dragon.
After all, even a real pet dog will bark at its enemies.
This has nothing to do with strength or weakness; it's simply a matter of attitude towards pets.
Under Luo Tian's gaze, the knight turned to look at the dwarf Dur.
The small body moved with sharp feet, walking towards the dwarf Dur.
Upon seeing this, the dwarf Dur stopped laughing and looked at the knight who approached him with disdain.
Despite his small stature, the dwarf Dur was still a behemoth in front of a knight who was about the size of a small dog.
"Little guy, you really don't think you can handle me, do you?"
With a contemptuous tone, the dwarf Dur stretched out his large hand and reached down to grab the knight's head.
As a thick-skinned dwarf, he didn't think that the knight, a bug that couldn't even beat a puppy, could hurt him.
The moment he extended his palm, the knight's three ferocious mouths quietly opened.
Neither the tough skin nor the strong bones could be easily broken through by those sharp teeth. Blood gushed out along with the torn flesh, and half of the hand was bitten off.
"You beast, how could you!"
A deafening wail erupted from Duer's mouth. Stimulated by the blood, the dwarf's eyes turned red instantly, and his other intact left hand directly pulled out the Beast Taming Lock from his waist.
These are the extraordinary items the committee issued to him to suppress the out-of-control supernatural creatures.
"I want you to die!"
The Beast Taming Chains were thrown from the dwarf Dur's hand and wrapped directly around the knight's neck, the inscriptions on them actively suppressing the extraordinary fluctuations.
With his bloodshot eyes, Duer seemed to be able to see the strange insect howling beneath the lock, only to be beheaded by him with an axe.
"Even if this insect has extraordinary bloodline, so what if it hasn't been reported? If I chop it to death with an axe, no one can say anything!"
However, under Duer's watchful eye, the Beast Taming Lock, which was powerful enough to suppress supernatural beings, failed to perform its intended function.
Those seemingly inconspicuous sharp teeth easily bit through the lock engraved with extraordinary runes, as easily as eating and drinking.
Having broken free from the brief restraints of the chains, the knight lunged at Duer once more.
Its ferocious teeth tore at the dwarf's flesh, and dark green viscous fluid flowed continuously from its mouth, its powerful corrosive force seeping into the bone marrow.
The dwarf Dur could only howl in pain as he tried desperately to tear the strange insect off his body, only to discover that the insect, which he could usually bully even a small dog, was now unleashing power beyond his imagination.
Even though he exerted all his strength, he could not budge it in the slightest.
The agonizing screams gradually subsided, and the flowing blood stained the entire floor crimson.
Inside the surrounding iron cages, several extraordinary creatures huddled in a corner, watching the scene before them with fear.
The bloody scene before them was nothing to these extraordinary creatures. They had seen things a hundred times bloodier when hunting their prey, so this was nothing to them.
What they truly fear is the power displayed by the knight.
The ease with which it bit through the beast-taming lock and the dark green slime dripping from its mouth instilled in them an instinctive fear.
Listening to the fading wails, Luo Tian suddenly stopped the knight who was about to bite Duer's neck and said:
"Okay, you can stop now."
The knight stopped moving instantly, and the terrifying head raised its head to look at Luo Tian.
Despite his head being covered in blood, and his ferocious fangs and gaping mouth being stained crimson with blood, Luo Tian still sensed a hint of fear and trepidation in the gruesome scene before him.
With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Luo Tian pointed to the fire lion cage in front of him and said:
"After all, Duer is a colleague of the Otherworld Management Committee, so it wouldn't be good to just kill him."
Next, they'll throw him into the cage; whether he lives or dies is up to fate.
The knight nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
First, it used its sharp teeth to bite open the iron cage door, and then the small, thin creature struggled to drag Duer, who was constantly emitting weak cries, into the iron cage.
Throughout the entire process, Fire Lion, the tyrant of the pet management office, simply stared blankly without making any move.
Its instincts made it fear the seemingly insignificant little insect in front of it.
After the knight finished doing all this, Luo Tiancai nodded to the knight with satisfaction.
"Go wash up and then get ready to attend a banquet."
The Soul-Devouring Sea Worm larvae hurriedly ran to the water pool and began to wash the blood off their bodies.
After cleaning herself up, she carefully ran to stand at Luo Tian's feet.
"Let's go!"
Luo Tian turned and left the management office without glancing at the dwarf Duer even once throughout the entire process.
The knight was about to follow, but then, as if remembering something, he suddenly turned to look at the cage where the fire lion was.
