Chapter 1032: Raising them
The wolf cub looked like it wanted to bite my hand as I reached it out towards it, but then it stopped.
The nose of the wolf cub suddenly twitched as if it smelled something.
Then as if it had been subdued, it lowered its head and allowed my hand to touch it. It didn't seem like it was enjoying the feeling at first, but then it was slowly subdued as I stroked its fur.
It eventually even started to give a sound that was similar to a cat's purr, as if it enjoyed the feeling of me petting it.
A smile appeared on my face when I saw this before I reached out to pick up the wolf cub.
But even though it was a wolf cub, it was still a Great Wolf.
Great Wolves were much bigger than normal wolves, so just this Great Wolf cub was already almost as big as me. Some of the other wolf cubs that were down here were already old enough that they were as big as me.
They didn't seem as big to the giants, but for a normal human like me...
It was hard for me to pick up the wolf cub and if I hadn't trained my body, then it would have been impossible. But because I had been building up muscle during the past while, I managed to avoid embarrassing myself as I picked up the wolf cub.
After picking it up, I handed it over to Joan who put it on her back.
The wolf cub seemed a bit unwilling to separate even though it had just bonded, but it eventually settled down when it was on Joan's back.
I went around looking at the other wolf cubs and found that most of them were indeed dead. They had been left here for a long time without anyone to care for them, so it was hard for them to survive in this condition.
But I found that there were three more wolf cubs that were still alive.
I did the same thing with these three wolf cubs, though they found it harder to resist since they were much weaker than the wolf cub that had just been dropped into this hole.
In the end, we carried those four wolf cubs onto the back of Joan and headed off.
When I came out of the hole, Alidus looked at me with a strange look.
Even if he was confused about what I was specifically planning to do, he could at least guess what I was planning to do. At the same time, there was something that he had to ask for the safety of his tribe.
"Are you really planning on taking them back?" He said in a voice that had a strange tone. It was almost as if he wasn't sure what to make of this situation.
I just gave a simple nod before saying, "It's not a problem, I'll be able to take care of them."
He didn't say anything as he just looked at me with one raised brow. Though there was a change in his eyes now that he had received a confirmation for the doubt that had been on his mind.
He had confirmed that I was indeed planning on raising these Great Wolf cubs.
Seeing the doubt that he looked at me with, I pointed at Joan and said, "I think that's more than enough proof. I've tamed things that are much worse than these Great Wolf cubs."
Alidus had gotten so used to seeing Joan and the others that he had almost forgotten that they were wyverns.
But looking at Joan and the other two wyverns, he realized that I was right.
If I was even able to tame the wyverns, then I should certainly be capable of taming these Great Wolves.
But there was still something that he had to say.
"You can bring them back, but you have to make sure that they don't hurt anyone." Even if he knew that I would be able to suppress them, he had to at least say this for the sake of the tribe.
I gave a simple nod before saying, "I will need some help from your tribe to raise them. I'll need your help obtaining a few things that will help nurture them." Then after a pause, I said, "Of course, I'll pay a proper price for these things."
Alidus slowly gave a nod before saying, "As long as you pay, you're free to trade with whoever is willing to trade with you." After thinking for a bit, he suddenly added, "I'll help speak up for you as well."
I could tell that his impression of me had changed which made a smile appear on my lips, but I still said, "I was hoping more for the help of the chief."
Alidus slightly knitted his brows upon hearing this before slowly saying, "The chief has no reason to help you with this. At best, you can trade for the items you need."
I shook my head as I said, "You're thinking too short term. You should think about the future."
Alidus was a bit confused and just looked at me with a raised brow as if he was waiting for me to explain.
I pointed at the four wolf cubs and said, "There are two males and two females here. Once they grow up and breed, there will be plenty of wolf cubs to train and raise. I'm sure that the chief will be interested in these cubs."
Alidus knitted his brows once more, but there was a look of deep thought that was on his face instead.
After all, he could recognize the advantage that would come from taming these Great Wolves. These Great Wolves were the enemies of their tribe and constantly terrorized them, but if they were to tame them and use the Great Wolves to fight back...
That really would be a satisfying feeling.
Alidus could clearly see the advantages of this trade, but he didn't lose control of himself in
the end.
"I'll bring this up with my father and uncle, it'll be up to them to decide what to do."
I just gave a simple nod without saying anything.
That alone was enough to create a working relationship with the giants, I could build on that.
