Chapter 19 - Lucius Next Assignment

Lucius then immediately turned toward Sallos and asked him something: "Sallos, I want to ask you something, as I have just known about beastmen."

Sallos then smiled after hearing it and said, "Sure, just ask me what you want to know, sir Lucius."

Lucius then smiled and immediately asked what he was curious about: "Beastmen are half-beasts, so can they be tamed by beast tamers?"

Sallos was not really surprised, as he already expected such a question. "Although they are half-beast, they are also half-human so they could not be tamed by beast tamers."

Lucius then immediately changed his question after hearing it: "So if that is the truth, then, are there any tamers that have tried to tame them?"

Sallos nodded, meaning that there were, "Indeed, there were tamers who had tried but they immediately experienced severe backlash. Their beast-taming talents were forcibly reduced by an entire level."

Lucius, who heard it then, said, "So because of it, there were no tamers that dare to tame the beastmen anymore."

Sallos nodded after hearing him say, "Correct, sir Lucius. Even the most daring tamers avoid that because they already knew the risk."

Lucius only smirked upon hearing it, "I see," but although he was already warned, Lucius was really interested as he got a system after all.

Lucius then immediately turned his attention toward the next woman, who was the most beautiful of the five and he began to scan her data.

[Name: Luna]

[Species: Human]

[Talent: None]

[Level: 1 Star]

[Stats:]

[Str: F (1★)]

[Vit: F (1★)]

[Agi: F (1★)]

[Int: F (1★)]

[Tamed Beast: None]

Lucius, who saw her data, immediately smirked, "Perfect, just the one that I am looking for."

Lucius then returned to his seat after observing all five female slaves and immediately looked at Sallos.

Sallos, who looked back at Lucius, said, "Have you made your decision, Sir Lucius?

Lucius then decided, as he told Sallos, "I have decided that I will take the last two slaves. The most beautiful one and the beastman."

Sallos immediately nodded as he praised, "An excellent choice, Sir Lucius. Both are remarkable in their own ways."

Sallos then explained their advantage: "Luna possesses exceptional intelligence despite her lack of talent, and the beastman, though untamable, has unparalleled physical strength."

Lucius nodded and soon turned toward Savra and immediately said, "Miss Savra, I have chosen the slaves that I want."

Savra nodded and said back to Lucius, "Go to the grand hall first, as I will handle this and bring the slaves to you."

Lucius nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Savra. I will then go to the grand hall as you have ordered." Lucius then immediately went to the grand hall, accompanied by Magnus.

Savra was then left alone with Sallos and soon she turned toward him and ordered, "Ensure everything is finalized, so i can immediately take them today."

Sallos nodded. "Of course, Matriarch Savra. I'll see to it that the paperwork and transfers are completed without delay."

Savra then watched him leave and waited for a while for him to finish everything so he could bring those two to Lucius immediately.

Meanwhile, Lucius and Magnus were now going to the grand hall and when they entered, Ragnar had been waiting for them while sitting on a throne.

Lucius immediately approached Ragnar and greeted him, "Patriarch Ragnar, it's good to see you. Has your matter been resolved?"

Ragnar only smirked upon seeing Lucius and answered, "It is done and also congratulations, Lucius. You have officially been put as an elder of our family."

Lucius only smirked upon hearing it: "I'm honored, sir, so what do you want me to do next after Miss Savra told me to come here?"

Ragnar then immediately told Lucius about it, "I see, so you are curious about it, huh? In fact, my earlier matter was related to you."

Lucius was a bit surprised by it and immediately asked, "Oh? And what would my assignment be?"

Ragnar then looked at Magnus and back to Lucius, "Magnus will soon return to the academy so you will accompany him and join the academy as well. The arrangements have been made so you can join without issue."

Lucius, who heard it, was surprised. "Wait, did I hear that correctly? I am not even a beast tamer yet so I couldn't possibly qualify for admission."

Ragnar only smirked and explained, "Don't you worry about that, as I have handled it and also the academy is a bit special. It is neither a beast-tamer academy nor a conventional institution."

Magnus then immediately joined in and explained it: "It's more of a social hub for young nobles where it is the place where connections are made or even a place for showing off."

Lucius was a bit surprised after hearing the fact, "I see," but then Lucius suddenly heard something wrong, "Wait a minute. Did you say 'young nobles'? Magnus, are you young?"

Magnus was a bit shocked, as he immediately confirmed, "Of course I am young. I am only twenty years old."

Lucius was really surprised after hearing his age. "Twenty? You are only two years older than me but with that fierce face, I would've guessed that you are thirty."

Magnus, who heard it, immediately became sad. "Elder Lucius, I am still young. It is just because of my training that my face is like this."

Lucius only chuckled upon hearing it and immediately turned toward Ragnar and asked, "So, what exactly do you want me to do at this academy?"

Ragnar then immediately told him, "Do as you please. Build relationships. Learn the art of influence. You can do anything as long as you don't tarnish our reputation."

Lucius then understood it and immediately said, "Understood, but I just bought two new slaves so could I bring them with me?"

Ragnar immediately nodded. "Of course you can. They are yours and also in the academy, you are permitted to bring your own servants."

Lucius immediately smiled upon hearing it and thanked him, "Thank you, Patriarch. I won't disappoint our family."

Ragnar only smiled back and nodded as he heard what Lucius said.
