They are nobles in the dark, elegant predators, with the ability to confuse mortals, allowing them to unknowingly obtain the source of blood and the wealth to maintain a high-quality life. - The Legend of Transylvania
…
After finishing breakfast and bringing back one for his young master, John took over the reins of his beloved horse Locke from the hands of his new groom, Sam.
After a routine day's work at the police station, at four o'clock in the afternoon, John rode Locke home from get off work again.
Naturally, John did not forget to pay attention to the guests who were in the limelight in Rem Town. Not only did he ask Phil to inquire about information at the police station and the town, but he also launched his own secret line, which was Little John's group of orphans to collect information.
, who cares about a few young orphans?
Therefore, John seemed to go to and from get off work during a normal day and did not pay much attention to other things. In fact, his attention to the Salvatore family did not weaken.
From several sources, John learned that the Salvatore family is currently renting a mansion arranged by Horn. The owner is a wealthy businessman from the aristocracy of Cramento, who owns one-third of the forestry and forest farms in Rem Town.
Some other businesses, because the owner of the house only vacations here for a period of time every year to check the accounts, the mansion is vacant most of the rest of the time, and is only entrusted to Horn, his business partner, to take care of it.
two.
Horn rented the mansion to the Salvatore family at a very considerable but not exaggerated price, and sent someone to deliver the month's rent and his letter to Cramento. I think the owner of the house would also be satisfied with this.
Such an arrangement. After all, the monthly rent of 80 gold pounds is a sky-high price in a place like Rem Town. It is enough to live a decent life in a big city like Jinsha Port for one month. For a moderately wealthy businessman, a few months
It’s also a big profit.
Then there is who Old Salvatore met today, who he reached a deal agreement with, and the dynamics of the three young people, Elisabeth and Salvatore, whom John is most concerned about.
John couldn't help but frown when he thought that Miss Elizabeth, whom Phil and the others reported to, was looking at a house in the wealthy area of Rem Town under Horn's help, and seemed to be planning to buy a property and settle down.
You must know that in this era, the real estate industry is still mainly concentrated in the capitals of various countries and prosperous urban centers such as commerce and ports. In remote towns like Rem Town, people have no concept of so-called real estate speculation.
So even if rich people plan to buy a house for investment, their turn will not be here.
"It looks like this family will be staying in town for a while!"
John was thinking as he sat on his horse.
As for why Horn, the apparently leading wealthy businessman in Rem Town, would put down his own affairs and accompany a few young people to fool around, John understood that there might be supernatural power at work here. In the mysterious world, hypnotizing and confusing human beings
Spells have always been uncommon. In his previous life, he had encountered several cases where hypnosis was used to commit crimes, let alone in this extraordinary world.
Regardless of whether the other party really wants to come to Rem Town to do business and look for business opportunities, or has other purposes, he will not let the other party do whatever they want.
Although Rem Town was not a very good place to settle down in his future vision, he could not leave this remote but wealthy town in the west in the near future.
"At least on my watch, these outsiders cannot be allowed to cause trouble in the town!"
This is due to the feelings of this life and the belief of the people's police in the previous life.
After touching Locke's neck, these three-year-old young stallions seemed to sense John's determination and couldn't help but raise their heads and let out a neigh of pleasure.
"Can't you wait? Be patient, we will become real partners tonight..."
In the past few days after returning from Dragon's Claw Forest, John's free time was mainly spent on studying animal companions and wild transformation, two supernatural abilities that are only available to professions in the natural field.
Ordinary rangers and rangers generally have very few spell abilities and do not have the special ability of wild transformation. However, John and his group are different from ordinary rangers because of their special bloodline and the concept of natural balance.
The number is slightly less than that of Druid, and other abilities are basically the same.
In particular, John has been favored by the natural will of the two worlds several times, which makes him have a strong natural aura, and he has more understanding of magic. In fact, he is more like a druid than a ranger.
John felt that he had to thank his master and a group of fellow Taoists in his previous life for this. The sacrifices and magic rituals that caused these basically came from their teachings.
This is the legacy of the Taoist practice in his previous life. John firmly believes that this knowledge can help him go further on the extraordinary path in this life.
Without further ado, the first animal companion John chose was naturally his beloved Malocco. This young Lucian horse was already very humane due to John’s careful care and had a good relationship with him. He was familiar with John’s voice.
Able to accept some basic commands from John, such as lifting the reins means stopping, left and right means changing direction, etc.
But this is only the result of the normal intelligence level of ordinary animals under human domestication, rather than real communication.
Because John himself has received the blessing of nature, the special ability or professional expertise of wild identity is automatically obtained after John takes office. This expertise is a prerequisite for a series of abilities related to the wild field such as animal companions and wild transformation.
Having it means that you are accepted by wild animals and can communicate with each other on an equal footing. Taking druids as an example, these natural spellcasters can usually use body language, tone of voice and expression to influence the attitude of animals, regardless of whether the target is violent.
Bear or monitor lizard.
This ability functions like the negotiation ability that affects human attitudes. Compared with negotiating with humans, John feels that it should be easier for him to gain the approval of animals. After all, he has not been the kind of person who is all-rounded throughout his life.
According to common sense, domestic animals generally have a cold initial attitude towards people, but wild animals are usually unfriendly. Generally speaking, it takes one minute to affect an animal, but the actual time required depends on the situation.
After John tried it on the dogs on the street and his own horse, he found that even if he was not familiar with the dogs in the past, they would always bark a few times to warn him when they saw him. Now when they see him, they will first be confused and then
He quickly wagged his tail happily as if he were meeting his relatives and began to make love to them.
Apparently he feels that his affinity for wild animals is quite high.
Especially for a beloved mount like Locke who has been familiar with him for a long time and has been with him day and night. For the first time, Locke was already as close to him as a brother and sister, and he always wanted to be together.
And in the past, John only needed to use body movements or eyes to make Locke understand what he meant. It was obvious that Locke would become his animal companion not far away.
John even discovered that he could use his spiritual power to contact Locke's spirituality and communicate spiritually through consciousness. This was an effect that could only be achieved by the natural level 1 spell Animal Talk, and what he did was undoubtedly better than the first level natural spell.
When it comes to deeper powers, John knows that he has not mastered the magic of talking to animals.
Although this kind of communication ability has the limitation of requiring close contact, it is comparable to the prototype of his psychic powers in previous lives in Buddhism and Tianzhu Sect.
Even when a druid communicates with wild animals other than its own animal companions, it cannot directly communicate with the mind, but needs to cast corresponding spells.
This shows how much benefit the legacy of the previous life has brought to oneself.
