[Bronze-tier magical beast: Purgatory Liger]
[Ability: combines the characteristics of a Feral Lion and a Rock-Armored Tiger. The head of a Feral Lion can cast a Bronze-tier Fireball Spell, while the head of a Rock-Armored Tiger can cast a Bronze-tier Earth Spike.]
Information about the fused liger beast appeared in Watson’s eyes.
After the fusion, the liger immediately stopped roaring and lowered its two heads before walking to Watson’s side. Its huge body crouched down low and it rubbed its furry lion head against Watson while letting out a low purring sound.
“So obedient.”
After raising his hand to stroke the Liger Beast’s head, Watson turned around and asked, “Allen, how much can a Bronze-tier magical beast be sold for?”
Allen swallowed his saliva and recovered from his shock. “A Bronze-tier magical beast is worth ten gold coins! If it’s especially strong, it could be sold for a couple of dozen gold coins.”
The rarer the item, the more valuable it was.
An Iron-tier magical beast could only be sold for a dozen of silver coins, while a Bronze-tier magical beast was dozens of times more valuable.
“What if it’s a Gold-tier magical beast?”
Gold-tier?
Allen was stunned for a moment. Generally, magical beasts were stronger than a professional of the same level, and Gold-tier professionals were very strong individuals. Allen had never even seen a Silver-tier magical beast before, let alone a Gold-tier one.
That was also the reason why Miles was so desperate to snatch the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken when he heard that the Watson family had it, as it was the weakest among the Gold-tier magical beasts. Its strength was about as strong as a Bronze-tier magical beast yet it had much greater value.
“If it’s a Gold-tier magical beast, it’s worth at least a hundred thousand gold coins. It’s so expensive that anyone who wants it cannot even be able to afford it,” Allen said after thinking for a moment.
Magical beasts had very long lifespans. They had no problem reaching a few centuries old in terms of age. A Gold-tier magical beast could even become a guardian beast of a great noble. No one would think of selling such a magical beast if they were offered one.
Allen curled his lips self-deprecatingly. He did not know why Watson was asking him all this. Could it be that Watson wanted to use that strange magic earlier to fuse a Gold-tier magical beast?
Although he could not understand Watson’s method of fusing the Feral Lion and the Rock-Armored Tiger, there had to be a limit to that kind of magic or else Watson would be invincible.
Not knowing what Allen was thinking, Watson looked around the magic beasts in the breeding ground. There were nearly 300 Feral Lions and Rock-Armored Tigers in the breeding area combined. Only half of them were adults. Even if he raised the price and sold them for one gold coin each, the total amount they could only sell for was only 300 gold coins. There were still 800 eggs at home that had to have been sold, so he did not need that tiny little bit of gold coins.
What he lacked was strength, the strength to protect himself and his family.
[System, fuse these magical beasts for me.]
It must surely be possible to fuse a Gold-tier magical beast using a few hundred Iron-tier ones.
[Congratulations, Master! Fusion successful. You have obtained three Gold-tier magical beasts: Tri-Headed Golden Chimera.]
As soon as Watson’s spoke, the magical beasts in the farm immediately turned into rays of light and gathered on the Purgatory Liger in front of him. With a loud boom, the beast—which was originally more than three meters long—expanded several times in size, becoming nearly ten meters long and five meters tall.
The mountain-like giant beast stood up and raised its head high. Another golden head of a mountain goat appeared next to the lion and tiger heads. A pair of huge scaled wings spread out, covering the sky and the sun, while a thick and long golden python swayed behind it.
The snake tail was actually alive. It revealed ferocious fangs as it swayed and flicked its tongue to spit out a purple poisonous fog.
The red lion’s head and the black tiger’s head also turned golden at this moment. The entire magic beast was like a gold sculpture, shining brightly, making it difficult to open one’s eyes.
[Gold-tier magical beast: Tri-Headed Golden Chimera]
[Attributes: fire, earth, darkness]
[Abilities: the lion’s head can cast Gold-tier spells ‘Sunlight’ and ‘Firestorm’, the Tiger’s head can cast Gold-tier spells ‘War Stomp’ and ‘Earth Pulse’, the goat’s head can cast Gold-tier spells ‘Death Curse’ and Dark Rot’, the snake tail can cast the Gold-tier spell ‘Lethal Poison’.]
[Additional abilities: high-level magic immunity (receives 50% damage from spells below gold-tier) , high-level physical resistance (receives 80% damage reduction from physical attacks below gold-tier), resizing (body size can be changed within a certain range), and camouflage (can change one’s appearance to a certain extent)]
“This is a true Gold-tier magical beast!”
Watson looked at the majestic magical beast before him from head to toe and was very satisfied.
The Tri-Headed Golden Chimera had mastered a total of seven gold-tier spells, in addition to being immune against magic attacks.
Unlike the Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken, which was a sorry excuse of a Gold-tier magical beast, the chimera was a powerful magical beast in the legends of this world. The gold chimera looked a little different from the legendary one, but that was not a problem. Watson was curious if anyone would dare to eye his Pentacolor Fragrant Chicken when such a powerful magical beast was guarding it at home.
Who else?
Plop!
Watson turned his head and suddenly noticed that Allen’s knees had softened and he was kneeling in front of him. “Captain Allen, what happened to you?”
“I’m sorry, my leg was injured in the battle just now.”
“Are you sure? I don’t remember the water elemental warrior touching your leg…”
“My leg is injured!”
Watson did not say anything else after seeing Allen’s persistence. He waved his hand at the chimera, and the ten-meter-long giant beast immediately shrank and turned into a small forearm-long golden lion. It moved like a phantom and scurried to his shoulder, lying quietly there.
The two extra heads and snake tails were hidden by the chimera, and it looked just like an ordinary lion. At that moment, the chimera was scratching its furry face with its hind legs. Its big black eyes looked flatteringly at Watson and blood was all over its face.
“Since you’ve become a Gold-tier magical beast that will be the main force in guarding the chicken farm in the future, I have no choice but to give you a name! From today onwards, your name will be Golden Flash.”
After naming the chimera, Watson used his fingers to tease it for a while. It was only when Allen strenuously got up that he was brought back to the hall.
On the way, Allen would occasionally raise his head to peek at Watson, and a huge wave of emotions rose in his heart. What did he just see? The hundreds of magical beasts in the manor had all disappeared, turning into one single terrifying magical beast. With that aura, it was definitely a Gold-tier magical beast. Not only was it not a loss to fuse hundreds of Iron-tier magical beasts into a Gold-tier one, it was actually profitable.
Bloody profitable!
What surprised Allen the most was that Watson’s ‘fusion magic’ seemed to have no restrictions. If he gathered a few gold-tier magical beasts, would he be able to fuse them into a stronger Platinum-tier magical beast?
His breathing turned heavy. As soon as this bold idea appeared, Allen’s eyes became had a look of determination.
He did not feel anything for Miles. After all, Miles was very stingy, but he could be considered a master and servant. Originally, he had hoped that the jinxed Watson would leave as soon as possible after Miles died.
His opinion had since changed.
What if he let Watson be the owner of this manor? They had been in the magical beast business for so long, so they knew where to catch a magical beast. If there was an adequate supply of magical beasts, could it be possible for him to get a share if Watson fused even more powerful magical beasts?
Allen was still daydreaming, but Watson had already returned to the hall.
Facing a group of guards and farmers waiting for his orders, he waved his hand. “Send a few people to deliver the money, armor, and weapons on the ground to my house. The rest of you go back to your own homes and families.”
“Yes, Lord Watson!”
Just as everyone was about to agree, Allen rushed out from behind Watson and swiftly knelt on the ground. “Lord Watson, please wait. Regarding this matter, I have a crude proposal! I hope that you can take over the manor and become the new owner of this place.”
