Chapter 153 – Refusal to Mate

The serfs waited for Liszt to leave.

“Sir Baron's pet is so strong that I couldn't dare to look at it, I was shaking when it roared. ” A serf sighed with horror while looking at Tremblingwoods from afar.

“That's right, of course, that Tremblingwoods is the King of Thorns Ridge. Only the great Sir Baron can tame it.”

"Yes, yes! The glory of knights has surely favored our dear Sir. He can conquer any beast with his sword. We won't have to be afraid of that beast eating people this winter. "

"Thorns Ridge …  I didn't expect us to cut down all these trees in Thorns Ridge. "

“Unfortunately my family is still not getting a lot and I don't have enough tools.  I still have to go through ten acres of wasteland this year … The town official said, the more fields you plant, the more food you will have! My son has to get married next year, and I have to prepare food and a house for him, or he won't get a wife. “

“Hey, old Brown, has your son found a girl he wants to talk to?” 

"Of course, I entrusted the Flower Caravan captain, Old Grandet. He promised to find my son a girl that can speak the Wind Language, I hope she has a big a.s.s! “

“Sir Lord bought new serfs, right?  I hear they're from the Eagle Kingdom, is that right? “

“Only the people from Eagle Kingdom speaks the Wind Language, But here in Coral Island, Sir Lord has taught them to speak in Snake Language. By the way, why haven't you find a girl, Old Brown?  There are several older women among the newly bought serfs who could be the right one to help you with housework and groundwork. “

Old Brown smiled shyly, “Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm already looking. “

“Women from the mainland don't speak Snake. If Brown gets married, they'll have to gesture to each other. “

"As long as you're busy in bed, it doesn't matter if you can't speak to each other, actions are enough, haha! “

"Old Brown's good days have finally come!"

"Praise the Sir Lord for that!"

"All thanks to Sir Lord, our Flower Town has gotten better and better."

The serf's idea of a better life was simple. They are bought by their Lord and they praise their Sir for the fields he provides for them to work on.

Walls and cages.

When Stupidwoman lost her freedom, it seemed like her world shrunk too.

She resisted being in this place at first, yet slowly came to accept it. Now, she looks forward to Liszt's visit. In the slightest, she even enjoys the peaceful days in her cage. Everyday, it's eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, and occasionally gets up to mate with Tremblingwoods who was always bursting with energy. 

"Woooof!"

The sound of Tremblingwoods could be heard from afar.

Lying on the ground, the beast immediately got up, came to the edge of the cage, and responded with a cry,  “Woooof! Woooooof!”

Moments later, the gates were opened and the two beasts met each other. Liszt approached the cage with ease while riding Tremblingwoods. At this time, they were already in the hitting range of Stupidwoman's magic. However, she did not release any magic, like she already forgot how to produce Rockthorns herself.

Taming the beast was simple.

If she attacks, she wasn't provided with food.

Within a few days, Stupidwoman understood that if she releases her magic, she would starve. If she doesn't, food arrives.

The beast's animal nature told her that not starving was more important than magic.

Liszt uses Magic Eyes so he can dare to enter the cage, while the servants wouldn't even dare come close.

Tremblingwoods entered the cage and met with Stupidwoman.

However, something strange was happening. Stupidwoman was resistive of Tremblingwoods, and won't let him come close.

"What is this? .. Are you pregnant, Stupidwoman?"

Pregnant females will resist mating. But also, females not in the mood will resist as well. Usually, Stupidwoman was in the mood, and it has not been resistant to mating before.

Now, since Stupidwoman resisted, it was either because she was not fertile or is pregnant, therefore no longer suitable for forced mating. Before, both beasts mated every day, but she did not get pregnant, all because she was not in her fertile cycle yet – all of these concepts involving animal ovulation.

After all, if the eggs haven't dropped, how can one get pregnant?

"Tremblingwoods, come out!", Liszt said while knocking on the cage.

He didn't want to come out. He urged him a few times but he still didn't go.

"It looks like I'll have to go to Coral City and purchase a female wolf magical beast. It's not good for Tremblingwoods to have this unvented energy inside of him. But I have no idea if having the wolf magical beast and Tremblingwoods together will produce pups. "

Liszt was already looking forward to the possibility.

Maybe he will be able to produce a breed of wolf dogs with magical blood, just like the Fire Dragon horse.

"Tremblingwoods is a mid-level magical beast, it's blood is strong. If mixed with a normal magical beast, it might produce a breed of strong wolf magical beasts in the long run. If possible, I could breed a wolf-dog army!"

The prospect of it all was delightful.

A servant quickly reported to Liszt, " Sir, the wizard of Coral City,he's come to the castle with the Flower Caravan.”

"Go back!"

Liszt turned and rode back to the castle with Tremblingwoods.

The people of the Flower Caravan were moving and unloading the goods, moving cargo into the castle's cellar, while another carriage halted near Tremblingwoods. A tall man in a black cloak came out of the carriage and glanced at the town he has arrived at. Next to him was a skinny little boy in a cape.

This was wizard Glanny Truth, and his magic apprentice.

“Mr. Glanny, welcome to Flower Town! ” Liszt, though not satisfied with the wizard's late arrival, still had a diplomatic smile on his face.

Glanny lifted the cloak over his head to reveal his messy brown hair. “The road in Flower Town is good, it's stone road, I thought it would be full of mud. Baron Liszt, building a stone road requires a lot of gold coins. Even though n.o.bles must display dignity, is it really necessary to waste gold on building roads?"

The whole time the wizard spoke, his eyes were on Tremblingwoods.

His focus was solely on the beast. He could feel his magic aura, and he could even see the magic through his eyes.

“Well, you have one good dog. It's extraordinary. It is worthy of being the King of Thorns Ridge. It is far better than low-level magical beasts. You are absolutely lucky to have it.”

"It really is lucky. Now, follow me. " Liszt stepped towards him and said, " Let us go inside the castle and talk. Mr. Carter has prepared us tea."

Glanny didn't move. Still looking at Tremblingwoods he said, “Baron Liszt, Can I maybe  have the honor to study this wonderful dog? Maybe I can pay for it, after all a magical beast's value relies on the type of magical equipment it can create. “

The smile on Liszt's face turned cold,  “Oh, you're getting ahead of yourself.”
