Chapter 23: A Man Cared For By God
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Alice, who was next to him, could see that Adrian was moved. She quickly reminded him in a low voice, “Adrian, don’t forget that it’s a contractual spiritual beast. You can’t take it away! After all, you can’t control it at all, and it might put you in danger!”
However, Adrian didn’t listen to Alice, which was a rare occurrence. He simply looked at the Fire Demon Lizard seriously, hoping to get a positive response from it.
The Fire Demon Lizard did not disappoint Adrian. It roared and nodded heavily.
“Big guy, let’s go then.” Adrian rubbed the Fire Demon Lizard’s rough scales with force and said softly, “We’ll be friends from now on.”
Adrian did not expect that he would be able to obtain a spiritual beast follower despite being unable to form a contract with it. This was definitely beyond his expectations, and even beyond everyone else’s expectations!
However, Alice was the only one who looked worried. She had no idea whether Adrian was right or wrong.
This was because the interactions between Beast Tamers and spiritual beasts in this world were all nurtured only after a contract was formed. This was the only way to restrain the wild nature of spiritual beasts!
However, Adrian didn’t have any means to restrain this spiritual beast, but dared to let the Fire Demon Lizard stay by his side. This was undoubtedly a huge risk!
If he was not careful, the Fire Demon Lizard might lose control, and it was very likely that it would devour its master.
After all, even if it was a contractual spiritual beast, there was a small chance that it would devour its owner. Moreover, this was a spiritual beast without a contract. The danger would definitely be even greater!
Furthermore, they still didn’t know where Cenir was. If they were to meet it again in the future, the Fire Demon Lizard would most likely recognize him as its master. At that time, Adrian would be in great danger!
At the thought of this, Alice couldn’t help but feel more worried for Adrian. She frowned and said, “Do you really want to do this? Do you understand the possible consequences?”
Charles heard Alice dissuading Adrian over and over again, and he slowly realized the danger of this matter. Thus, he said softly, “Adrian, this Fire Demon Lizard is quite docile now, and seems to obey you very much.”
“However, don’t forget how Gary was torn in half. It was definitely a dangerous creature. I don’t want you to end up like Gary.”
Meanwhile, the Fire Demon Lizard was enjoying being caressed by Adrian with closed eyes and a relaxed expression.
He understood their concern and assured them. “I know what you’re worried about, but I’m confident I can tame it, even without a contract binding it.”
Seeing Alice and Charles’ suspicious gaze, Adrian felt that it was necessary to explain to them so that they wouldn’t worry too much. He said softly, “I think I might have some kind of disease that can only be passed onto spiritual beasts.”
Upon hearing this, the slow Charles instantly widened his eyes.
Meanwhile, although Alice had expected this, she could not help but feel shocked.
Adrian knew neither of them could quite understand what he meant. Thus, he said, “I know it’s hard to believe. It was hard for me to believe it at first, too, but it seems to be the truth.”
“After all, if a spiritual beast gets close enough to me — about two feet from me — it will be infected with a special disease.”
“Its symptoms might include madness, helplessness, weakness, irritation, and so on.”
Charles listened with wide eyes, as if he had heard the most shocking thing in the world!
Most importantly, Charles had no choice but to believe such an unbelievable thing.
It was because he recalled what had happened a few days ago. It seemed as if any spiritual beast that dared to attack Adrian would end up in a bad state. It would either fall ill or go crazy!
However, most spiritual beasts would never fall sick in their entire lives. How could they coincidentally encounter so many sick spiritual beasts?
That was the strange part! Furthermore, Adrian’s words happened to prove that!
Meanwhile, Alice, who liked to think, was rather calm. She quickly thought of a key point and suddenly asked, “Adrian, since you have this ability, why weren’t there any problems when Charles’ and my spiritual beasts, or even this Fire Demon Lizard, approaches you?”
“It’s because of malice.” Adrian had been thinking about this question for the past few days. In the end, he came to a conclusion and said softly, “Only spiritual beasts that harbor ill intentions towards me will fall ill.”
“Take the Fire Demon Lizard for example. When it first saw me, it was infected because it harbored strong malice towards me.”
“The reason why it stopped getting sick was because it no longer had any ill intentions towards me.”
Adrian said slowly, “That’s why I have the confidence to tame the Fire Demon Lizard. After all, as long as it harbors ill intentions towards me, I will be able to detect it!”
When Charles heard this, his expression was simply filled with shock!
He did not expect Adrian to be such an amazing person. Thus, he could not help but look at him in admiration and exclaimed, “Adrian, you are definitely a man blessed by God!”
“This is simply too shocking! Too terrifying! Too crazy! Too amazing!”
Charles did not read much, but he used all the words of praise that he had learned in his life. It was obvious that he simply could not control his excitement!
Alice also looked shocked. Her heart was surging like a tidal wave.
If word of this got out, it would definitely cause the world to go crazy!
“Adrian, do you have a way to freely control your abilities?” Alice clenched her fists as she stared at the amazing man before her with hopeful eyes.
Adrian shook his head and smiled. “Not yet. When a spiritual beast falls ill, my body doesn’t feel anything at all.”
Alice couldn’t help but feel a little regretful for Adrian upon hearing this, but she quickly pulled herself together and said with a serious expression, “Adrian, Charles, none of us are allowed to tell anyone about what happened today! Otherwise, it’s very likely to cause a huge trouble! Got it?”
“I definitely won’t let anyone know!” Charles knew that this matter concerned Adrian’s safety, so he patted his chest and promised to guard this secret.
Meanwhile, Adrian knew very well that if others with ulterior motives heard about this, it would bring him a lot of trouble. Thus, he naturally wouldn’t rashly mention it to outsiders.
Adrian had told Alice and Charles about this precisely because he trusted them.
“I won’t casually tell anyone about this. Let’s go,” said Adrian with a smile.
The group walked out of the Spiritual Beast Forest, followed by a massive Fire Demon Lizard not too far behind.
When they walked out, before they could enjoy the sunshine, they were surrounded by a group of people.
From the group of unfriendly people before them…
… Adrian saw a familiar face.
