Chapter 1033: Making a deal with the chief



"Look, it moved!"

"They're eating it right up."

"Let's go and play!"

The kids of the giant village really took to the Great Wolf cubs much faster than the adults, but that was just because of a difference in bias.

For the adults, they had the experience of having to face the Great Wolves for a long time and it wasn't something that could be forgotten that easily.

So for those adults, it was hard for them to accept the Great Wolf cubs.

But seeing that Alidus didn't say anything and the fact that the Great Wolf cubs seemed well behaved, they didn't say anything in the end. Though they didn't let their kids get too close to the Great Wolf cubs even though they wanted to play with them.

The main reason why they were starting to let down their guards was the fact that the Great Wolf cubs were small compared to the giants, so they were considered quite cute.

It was like how humans viewed puppies.

Cuteness was a great way to make people let down their guards.

After all, it was hard to imagine that a cute thing would be dangerous.

I had no problem leaving them there since I knew that they wouldn't cause any trouble at all as long as Joan was here in the village. That was the main reason why I had been able to tame them that easily.

Wolves followed pack order and once the pack order was established, they would give their loyalty to the leader of the pack.

Joan was much more powerful than normal wyverns, which was why she was also stronger than normal Great Wolves. The only one that might be able to match her was the Great Wolf King who led the pack, but it wasn't certain since I had used quite a few things to buff her.

Zaag's eyes made it clear that he didn't think that the words 'big brother' was suitable considering the difference in size, but he still listened to his mother and thanked me.

I would have patted him on the head if it wasn't for the size difference, so I just said with a smile, "Don't run off again next time."

After the matter with the mother and child was settled, it was only me, Alidus, his father, and his uncle left in the room.

Once they were gone, the chief said, "Thank you for helping us. If it wasn't for you, we don't know what would have happened."

Once again, I acted humble as I said, "It's alright, I just did what I should have done."

There were smiles that appeared on the faces of the three giants, but there were clearly different emotions behind them.

After a moment of silence, the chief had a more serious look on his face as he said, "I've heard that you want to sell us the Great Wolf cubs."

With a simple nod, I said, "I won't have anything for you right away, but after some time, we'll be able to sell some cubs to you. I'm sure that you can see the value of raising these Great Wolves."

The chief knitted his brows a bit as if he was thinking about it, but he eventually gave a nod to show that he did indeed see the value. Only, there was still something that he seemed like he wanted to ask.

"Can you guarantee that they won't attack anyone?" He said in a stern voice.

It was clear that he was looking out for the safety of his people if he were to accept this deal. Only, this wasn't something that I could guarantee.

Instead, I just looked right into his eyes and said, "As long as you treat them properly, they will not attack anyone. They are living creatures too after all."

The chief and I locked gazes for a bit before he once again slowly nodded in agreement.

He was about to reach his hand out, but then it seemed like he remembered something as he revealed an awkward smile.

So instead, the chief said, "Then I'll be looking forward to working with you."

I nodded in agreement to this.
