Chapter 224: Wolves Acquired
The wolves inside the warehouse were huge, with a body length of almost three meters and a height of almost 1.8 meters.
"They're as tall as me..." Keith said as he looked at the wolves in awe, sending his system seed to one of them before the system spread to every single wolf nearby.
'Show me the stats of these wolves. I want to know what kind of mutations they have.'
[Affirmative.]
[Collecting data...]
"Yeah, they're huge. That's the reason why we domesticated them." she said as she saw one of the wolves speeding over to her.
"No Tingy, not now." she said, her voice stern.
The wolf immediately stopped in front of her and sat down before looking at the two of them with puppy eyes.
"They're huge, but they're adorable..." Keith said as he looked at Tingy and pet it's head fearlessly, making it whimper and purr, which sounded more like a growl.
Leora stared at Keith and shook her head, "You're fearless, I'll give you that. While we did domesticate them, they still have their wild instincts. Tingy killed one of my men recently while he was playing with her.
It was so sudden that he was unable to react. One would think that Tingy was hungry, but no. When another one of my people walked in to check up on the wolves, he saw Tingy sitting in front of the corpse with tears in her eyes."
"Sudden instincts huh? Perfect match for my danger sense so there's no need to worry." Keith said as he scratched Tingy's ears with a grin on his face.
Leora clicked her tongue but didn't dare get too close to the wolf. She was scared and didn't wish to show it by giving a half-assed attempt.
"Anyways, pick your wolf. And do you have the money ready?"
Keith nodded, "Wolves. I'll take eight but can I pay in gold? Eight Kilos of gold with is equivalent to eight hundred chrons."
"You really want to buy eight of them?" she asked, surprised with his sudden decision.
"Yeah." Keith responded as he read the contents on the screen in front of him.
'Tingy is actually a defect. No wonder her instincts took over. I'll just pick the best ones among the twenty wolves here.' he thought as he began to point at the wolves around him that were in cages.
Two males and six females. Once he was done picking them, he looked at Leora, "So? Do you accept gold?"
"Yes..." she said slowly as she continued to stare at Keith, "no wait! How do you even have that much money?"
"Some things must be kept under wraps, dear princess." he said and looked at a wolf he had picked first.
It had pitch black fur and was napping silently. He walked closer to it's cage and stared at it, 'The best one is you. Highest endurance, second best speed and the highest chance of producing a mutated offspring.'
Leora watched Keith stare at her wolves and immediately made a decision that was not logical in the eyes of most businessmen.
"Hey Keith, I can't do much but charge you for the wolves but if you want, I can give you the ship for free."
"Huh? Wait, you weren't planning on lending it to me from the start?"
Leora shook her head, "I did, but what I'm trying to say is that you can keep the ship for yourself. I won't be taking it back once your job is done. What do you say?"
"Naaah, I don't have much use for a ship. Instead, why don't you just lend me two extra wolves for free instead? You can have them back once we're done with those nobles under Zander."
Leora tilted her head slightly, clearly confused, "That ship costs almost eighty chrons..."
"Yeah, I would have taken it if it costs eight hundred. Eighty is too low. I can make way more than that just by looting those nobles." he said and turned to look at her before adding, "Yeah, I'm a corrupt inquisitor. So what?"
"You'll do anything for money huh?"
Keith shook his head when he was give this question, "Nah, I have my bottom lines and my own rules. Some of these nobles have no choice but to become one with the soil."
"I see.... okay I understand. Pick any two wolves you want me to lend you. As for the ones you wish to buy, I'll get them delivered to the place you want."
"Nah, it's fine. Just give me some alone time in this warehouse and I'll get them moved with the help of someone mysterious." he said and pointed at the large door, "Go on."
Leora stared at him for a few second before letting out a soft sigh and then walked out of the warehouse before getting her men to close the door.
Keith instantly dived into his spatial dimension and made an extra partition by splitting the area that was given to the goats in two.
He made sure that all the goats were in one place and one by one, he send the cages into his spatial dimension along with the wolves before opening them effortlessly.
Once all the wolves were out of the cages, he brought them back out and placed them where they once were.
After he was done with the work, he took out eight gold bricks and placed them on the floor before heading towards the doors of the warehouse.
Leora was standing right in front of the entrance and once Keith opened the doors, he pointed at the gold bricks, "There's the eight kilograms of gold. As for the two wolves that I wish to use for the next few months... I'll take those two brown ones that are at the right side corner."
The princess nodded and looked at her servants, "Get those two wolves ready and also get a carriage made for high speed travels." she said and then turned to look at Keith.
"I'll bring my own carriage with my own two wolves. Feel free to share mine if you need extra space."
