Blood Elf Monarch

As it was still quite early in the morning, these people caused a lot of the citizens of Protea to gather outside out of curiosity.

"Is our city going to be a gathering place for different races?"

"Orc, Elves... and now the king is even calling in the hybrids? Those animals!"

Thought some of the citizens when they saw the hybrids openly walking in the streets of Prontea with caged animals behind them.

Some of the citizens were curious about the caged animals led behind the group of hybrids, but they only discussed it among themselves.

Meanwhile, as Tristan watched the Trappers coming closer to the palace, the smile in his eyes slowly deepened.

"Let's get ready to greet them," Tristan suddenly said, pulling the two out of their thoughts. Seeing the incoming people put him in a good mood, he really could not wait to 'greet' them.

Herrera had an idea about what Tristan was going to do when she saw the familiar individuals outside. As for Illiana, she only briefly glanced at the Trappers outside before following Tristan.

Knowing the 'package' that they were bringing, the group that just came was led toward the palace's backyard.

Tristan knew what fate would arrive at the trapper's precious cargo, so he was hoping that they would be as discreet as possible. Nevertheless, it was pointless as the group of Trappers brought their goods in cages and caused so much noise, even causing the palace backyard to turn into a zoo.

When Tristan arrived at the place, the Trappers were already waiting for him. One particular figure, a man in luxurious clothes with two horns protruding on his head, had been waiting for his arrival. As soon as the hybrid saw him, he was shocked.

'To think the rumors were true…' the individual in the middle thought to himself, still in disbelief.

Tristan smiled when he met the hybrid's eyes.

"Long time no see, Mister Faunt," Tristan first greeted the hybrid.

"Ah, y-yes. It's an honor to see you again, my king," the hybrid bowed to him with an awkward smile. Although the hybrid felt that the situation was a bit surreal, as someone who was experienced with all sorts of individuals from his business, he still knew how to quickly adapt. At this moment, the arrogance the hybrid previously had was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the change in the behavior of the Trappers' leader since they last met, Tristan decided to tease him, "I wonder where your old bodyguard, the tiger hybrid, is. Is he well?"

Even though Tristan was only joking, his words only brought fear to the Trapper leader as it reminded him of how he challenged the mayor who had now turned into the king.

"Haha... He is fine, my lord, but I came here today as a friend of the palace, so there is no need for a bodyguard... No need at all, haha..."

"Of course, Mister Faunt. I am satisfied with your current service. Now, let me see the goods," Tristan said with a smile.

"Yes, my lord. Please let me show them to you," the hybrid responded as he rose from his bow and pointed at the dozens of caged magical creatures behind them.

As soon as Tristan walked down toward the palace, he heard the sound of someone running toward him while shouting his name. Tristan took a deep breath. Only one person would dare to behave that way to him.

"Brother!! I want to see it!! Oooh!! They look amazing!!"

It was none other than Layla, forcing herself to join in viewing the animals.

Faunt walked toward one side of the cargo and showed the first cage. However, to their surprise, it was actually not a cage. Instead, it was a big aquarium. Inside the aquarium, Tristan saw three fish-like lizards swimming about.

Tristan quickly analyzed the water creature in front of him.

[Lionfish Monitors]

[Magical Creature - Level 60]

Despite only looking like large lizards as they were currently under restrictions, not only were their teeth and long claws very strong and sharp, but their scales could even be made into sturdy shields. They also had extremely venomous spikes that would pop up when they felt threatened or were about to hunt.

"A scratch from one of those spikes can knock an adult human unconscious in less than a minute," Faunt patiently explained.

Tristan observed the large horizontal stripes on one of the Lionfish Monitors. There were no visible gaps between the scales, yet venomous spikes could come out of its body.

Without waiting for Tristan to respond, the hybrid moved on to another row.

It was a small dome-like cage made out of black steel. Though, from the shape of it, it was more like a steel net instead of a cage. Inside, there were about two dozen bat-like creatures with glimmering silver skin.

[Silver Bats]

[Magical Creature - Level 30]

These creatures were not only extremely fast, but their senses, especially their hearing, were exceptionally sharp. Although their claws were not as strong as those of Lionfish Monitors, they were much sharper.

"They also have very high vitality, which makes them quite a hassle to deal with," the hybrid shortly glanced at the dozen Silver Bats after explaining.

Tristan was actually not very interested in them, but his eyes slightly lit up when he heard the last sentence. A creature with high vitality should be able to give him quite a good amount of Blood Essence.

Afterward, Faunt walked him through a dozen more cages; there was a boar-like creature, a large swan, a spoder as big as a car and half a dozen more.

Although he was here to get some creatures for Blood Essence, walking around while looking at these animals with the always-excited Layla really made him feel like he was bringing his sister for a zoo trip.

To his surprise, the girl did not show any signs of fear of any of the creatures here; even the most awful-looking ones were simply considered unique to her. Even worse, she found that the most exciting creature was the last one that was locked inside the largest cage

It was a large ape with crimson fur. Looking at it, the roaring ape seemed about four meters tall.

"Please be careful, my lord. This  particular creature has killed half a dozen of our guards since captive" Faunt warned. After all, he did not want anything bad to happen because of the creature he brought in.

However, as soon as Layla came close, the king kong broke out of its chains and charged at her.

"Layla!!!"
