Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Birth of a Monster Enthusiast

"Quick, quick, quick, Drew, Healing Magic! Full power, full power, full power!"

"Perry! Do you still have any Healing Potions left? I need them all!"

"Holy Light brother... I know your Healing Skill from the Holy Light Church is really effective, please, please help me. Can it count as me owing you a huge favor?"

Looking at the Female Fire Dragon in front of him, severely injured and on the brink of death, Roger was going crazy—not just from heartache, but also from excitement.

That Elf Ball actually caught the Female Fire Dragon! He is now the owner of the Female Fire Dragon!

But it was still a step late; the Female Fire Dragon was hit by a Thunder Spear, and now its survival depended solely on a thread. Roger was everywhere asking his companions to heal it.

Drew and Perry certainly wouldn’t refuse, but the Holy Light Knight, he frowned and only showed reluctant agreement after Roger mentioned owing him a favor. He performed healing on the Female Fire Dragon with Holy Light.

However, the Female Fire Dragon still had some psychological trauma, and whenever he got close, it would snarl and howl.

The Holy Light Knight snarled back at it, his armor was blasted black by flames, which really upset him.

"It’s the first time I hear about Monsters being able to be tamed..." Steeran observed the Female Fire Dragon curiously but dared not to get close.

"It’s the work of that strange spherical Magic Tool," Merca analyzed. "From my observation, that ball possesses at least Space Magic and Brainwash Magic. Not only can it fit that dragon into a tiny ball, but also..."

Roger went over and calmed the Female Fire Dragon, and it stopped baring its teeth and instead affectionately rubbed against his hand.

Merca fell silent for a moment, then said somberly, "This brainwashing effect is truly astonishing."

No, this is purely because Roger inherently has a strong affinity with animals and also quite capable.

If the Trainer’s Level is too low, the Pokemon (seriously) wouldn’t obey.

Leon watched the interaction between Roger and the Female Fire Dragon with envy, his heart could not help but be aflame with dreams of taming a lion-type Monster himself, which would perfectly match his name and certainly be impressive.

As Roger soothed the Female Fire Dragon, he stared intensely at it, his mind filled with numerous thoughts.

Monsters, synonymous with madness, low-intelligence Monsters like Hajimi are almost untamable, whereas high-intelligence Monsters like Minotaurs do not want to associate with humans and even harbor animosity towards them.

The only way to temper the wild nature of a Monster is to have it mate with regular animals, diluting its lineage generation after generation, and eventually selecting breeds with stable temperaments, such as the Pegasus used for pulling carriages, Griffins of the royal knight regiments, or giant beetles for long-distance travel, which were all developed this way.

However, artificially bred Monsters are much weaker compared to their wild counterparts.

Brainwash magic could temporarily control a Monster, but it will never truly bond with humans, never becoming a reliable partner.

Roger was very clear, the affection shown by the Female Fire Dragon wasn’t due to brainwashing magic, but genuine feelings from the heart, truly considering him as her master and partner.

He couldn’t explain why he reached this conclusion, perhaps it’s the telepathy between a Trainer and Pokemon ()

But one thing he knew—

The appearance of the Elf Ball will break the notion that Monsters can’t be tamed!

When he shows up with the Female Fire Dragon in public, it is surely going to cause a sensation, and public attempts at taming Monsters will reach a new peak.

And what is most important in taming a Monster? Isn’t it the Elf Ball.

Roger couldn’t help but recall where he had found the Elf Ball, planning to try his luck again the next time.

"Heh, this will definitely shock the old folks at the Association,"

A delightful smile curved on his lips.

Roger has been fond of animals since he was young.

During his childhood, he once encountered a Monster, a young Turquoise Windbird, which could not fly away due to an injury and was being attacked by hounds.

He rescued the young bird and took meticulous care of it. At first, the Monster would attack him with its fragile beak, but as time passed, they grew closer. The young bird would sleep in his arms and stand on his shoulder to travel; they became friends who shared their hearts.

Before long, the young bird disappeared, and Roger never found its trace again.

Although heartbroken, this experience left him with the idea that "Monsters can also become companions."

While studying at the academy affiliated with the Magic Association, he often questioned the theory that "Monsters cannot be domesticated," and dedicated himself to finding ways to tame Monsters or become companions with them. He wrote many papers and delivered various speeches, believing firmly that his childhood experience was not unique.

One day, during a speech, he was harshly criticized by his instructor, and all his papers were publicly burned to ashes.

"Monsters are just Monsters; they can never become companions to humans. If you can, prove it to me; let me see what Monster would like to be with you! Even if you use Magic Tools, if you can’t, then shut your mouth and stop giving those foolish speeches!"

After that, Roger fell silent, not out of fear, but in search of Monsters that could peacefully coexist with humans.

Unfortunately, it seemed impossible to replicate his childhood experience; he could never find that same young Turquoise Windbird again. Even if he found a similar species, those Turquoise Windbirds would mercilessly attack him.

Reaching middle age, he began to doubt whether his childhood experiences were just his imagination, and he grew increasingly uncertain.

The appearance of the Female Fire Dragon and the Elf Ball ignited a flame of hope in his heart again!

I will stay near the Sain Dungeon until I understand the principle of this ball, and then I must...

"Hehehe," Roger suddenly chuckled sinisterly, stroking his stubbly chin, thinking it’s time to be spirited, and planning to shave when he gets back.

"Ow?" The Female Fire Dragon tilted its head and suddenly spit out a light point.

Roger picked it up and saw it was a ring, with information flowing into his mind.

[Green Flower Ring·Replica]

[Slightly Increases Energy]

[Can Also Be Used to Open A Certain Door]

"Hey, why does it feel like the ring I got?" Maru took out the Petite Ring, and the last description of both rings was same – they could be used to open a certain door!

She and Roger exchanged glances, could it be...

Could it be that these two rings are the decryption tools for the next level!?

How could this be such a coincidence?

"Indeed, it is such a coincidence,"

City Lord’s room.

Gong Qiying admired the expressions of the adventurers, pleased with their performance.

Not so long ago, he had made some changes to the design of the middle floor.

In Undead Town, there is a stone door leading to Big Tree Hole that can only be opened by collecting two rings, which are guarded by two Elite Monsters—the Lion Ape and Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The change he made was that once an adventurer obtained one ring, the remaining ring could possibly transfer to any flying class Elite Monster, which would then actively attack. If the adventurers were victorious, they could quickly obtain the second ring; if they failed, they’d meet again next time.

The main purpose of this setup was to provide a shortcut for capable adventurers.

Seeing adventurers constantly running maps was rather boring, and those capable of obtaining both rings were unlikely to be thwarted by the traps in the process; it was better to save time and let them quickly enter the more dangerous lower floors to face their fate.

"This team might actually clear the level,"

Gong Qiying couldn’t help but start thinking, what should be given as the clearance reward?
