Chapter 252: Searching for Cloud Yak, Tavern Recruitment (6400)_3
"Neigh!!"
After the resounding whinny,
the two of them set off with 20 Ascalon Soldiers, heading to explore the cave.
After giving these two instructions, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.
He realized he still had quite a few tasks ahead.
So, he patrolled the territory along the way and quickly arrived at the cowshed.
Pushing open the door, he immediately saw Eliza with her little bottom up, leaning over the cow pen, watching the Cloud Yaks inside.
Noticing Cao Xing's entrance, Eliza quickly turned around and said,
"Hehehe... Lord, why are you here?"
"Eliza didn't steal any milk this time, Father told me that two cows are pregnant, so I came to take a look."
Cao Xing was a bit surprised, "Oh? Two cows are pregnant?"
Eliza nodded her little head, happily saying, "Yeah, yeah, Cloud Yaks can have a calf a year, and we have 9 cows in our territory!"
"In a few years, the Cloud Yaks in our territory will only increase!"
Little Elysa spoke happily, seemingly envisioning the future.
Hearing this, Cao Xing also had a faint smile on his face.
Cloud Yaks have one calf a year, typically only one yak at a time.
Achieving large-scale breeding might take several more years.
For the common folk in this world, a few years might pass in the blink of an eye.
But for Cao Xing, it was still too long.
So, he asked, "Eliza, do you have any ideas for finding more wild Cloud Yaks?"
The last batch of Cloud Yaks was discovered by Eliza.
She seemed to have her own experience in finding these legendary magic creatures.
Eliza, hearing this question, appeared thoughtful.
She propped her chin with her finger and said, "Cloud Yaks are hard to find, these creatures are elusive and won't appear before humans, otherwise they wouldn't be so precious!"
Hearing this, Cao Xing also showed a hint of regret in his eyes.
At this point, Eliza shifted the topic.
"But, Captain Eliza is remarkable, I can find traces of Cloud Yaks in some remote areas based on their habits."
"And then I can track the Cloud Yaks according to these traces~"
Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly, "Not bad, not bad, Eliza, you are indeed remarkable."
Hearing the praise, Eliza giggled.
At this moment, Cao Xing continued.
"Eliza, how about I give you a task?"
Eliza blinked her big, watery eyes, puzzled, "Lord, what task is it?"
"Help me go out and find more Cloud Yaks."
Upon hearing this, Eliza did not immediately agree, but her face showed hesitation.
Seeing her reaction, Cao Xing asked, "You don't want to, Little Elysa?"
Eliza hurriedly shook her head.
"No, of course, Eliza will listen to the Lord."
"It's just... if I go out to find the yaks, I won't be able to see the Lord every day..."
Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, then looked at her.
He realized she wasn't joking, her face was anxious, as if genuinely worried about this.
"If that's the case... then I'll send someone else to take a look."
Hearing this, a cunning smile appeared on Eliza's lips.
"Hehehe... I was just tricking you~"
"Eliza can go out to find yaks, but when I return, you have to reward me, my lord!"
Cao Xing chuckled, "Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"Milk! I want to drink lots and lots of milk!"
The little girl said without hesitation.
"No problem, I promise you."
This request was trivial for Cao Xing.
Even though she said lots of milk, with this little girl's tiny stomach, she wouldn't be able to drink that much.
Giving her two barrels would be more than enough.
Hearing Cao Xing agree, Eliza's face lit up with a joyful smile.
"Then, Lord, I'll set out now~"
She strapped a large bow on her back, ready to head out.
At this moment, Cao Xing stopped her.
"Wait a moment."
Eliza paused.
Then she saw Cao Xing walking up to her.
He pulled out a blue-and-white striped coat from his backpack and draped it over Eliza's shoulders.
Eliza immediately felt warmth enveloping her entire body, her eyes filled with surprise.
Before she could speak, Cao Xing took out a carrying backpack.
He began instructing, "The weather outside is very cold, make sure to stay warm at night."
"This backpack contains lots of roasted rabbit meat, cheese, and milk, enough for you to eat for a long time."
"Remember not to finish it all at once, if you eat too much you'll get sleepy, and if you fall asleep in the snow, no one will wake you."
Cao Xing continued with his reminders.
"Also, if you encounter danger, run immediately and contact me through the device on your ear..."
Before he could finish,
Eliza was already on tiptoe, then she cupped his cheeks and kissed him directly.
In an instant, Cao Xing felt a pair of warm lips covering...
At that moment, Little Elysa's actions were so passionate, as if she was constantly seeking more.
And Cao Xing held her tightly in his arms.
Until five minutes later,
Eliza wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and that cunning smile returned to her face.
"Well then, Lord, Eliza is setting off!"
"Remember to wait for my good news, this time I'm sure I can find lots of Cloud Yaks, humph!"
