Chapter 136: Chapter 106 Silly Tiger (Seeking Recommendation Tickets, Monthly Tickets)
“Is this the child? He sure looks robust.”
The next evening, Silly Big Guy was brought before the old uncle by Nors, the elder sized him up and consulted Grandfather Andrew’s opinion.
“Indeed robust, he’s really only 12 years old?”
Bailuo was there too, but in casual attire, “At 12 years old, he’s already this tall, by the time he is fully grown, he’ll be at least 2.8 meters tall.”
There really was no need for Bailuo to assert any formality around the innocently naive boy, because he simply couldn’t sense it.
“No way, a 12-year-old? A child of 300 pounds?”
Lilith, who had turned invisible, followed by Bailuo’s side and sensed Silly Big Guy, “He really is 12 years old!”
Besides, many Tree Elves and members of the Fairy Guard were hidden in the dark of the forest, all secretly protecting Bailuo.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle.”
Silly Big Guy’s stomach let out a thunderous wail, and Bailuo laughed.
“Meeting me, the first sound isn’t ‘Your Majesty,’ but gurgle gurgle gurgle.”
“Quite amusing.”
Silly Big Guy reminded Bailuo of Inya, so he called upon the Fairy Clan, “Bring over some food; it doesn’t have to taste good, as long as it’s filling.”
Soon, the fairies brought over many large flatbreads.
Bailuo didn’t opt for anything else because for Silly Big Guy, being full was more important than tasty food.
“Here.”
Bailuo grabbed a stack of flatbreads and put them into Silly Big Guy’s hands, “Hungry, aren’t you? Here, take these.”
Silly Big Guy dared not eat, looking back at Nors standing behind him.
“Silly boy.”
Nors chuckled and scolded, “That’s our king; he is your true master.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
Silly Big Guy’s speech was unclear, but he still gave Bailuo a military salute, which Nors promptly corrected, “Not a military salute, kneel down, on one knee.”
“Oh.”
Silly Big Guy hastily complied, clumsily kneeling on both knees, Bailuo immediately told him to stand up, “That’s enough, that’s enough. Get up quickly; the flatbreads should be eaten while they’re hot.”
Silly Big Guy had not yet received Miracle Power and did not have the qualifications to perform the Miracle Ceremony.
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
This time he spoke clearly, devouring the hot flatbreads.
“Tasty, hehehe…”
He chuckled foolishly while eating; worried he would choke, Bailuo had the fairies bring over some fruit juice.
At the sour and sweet taste, Silly Big Guy immediately fell in love with it.
As for the fairies that could run and jump and even talk, Silly Big Guy had no reaction whatsoever.
Maybe in his mind, talking animals were nothing extraordinary.
“It resembles the descendant of the Giant Tribe that has been seen in the boundaries of the Mountains.”
Over here, the two old gentlemen finally discussed Silly Big Guy’s situation.
They both believed that Silly Big Guy might be a Miracle Race that once existed but perished in the Kingdom of Mountains—the Mountain Giants.
“Giant Tribe?”
While Bailuo had heard of the Giant Tribe, he didn’t know if the giants of Miracle World were like what he imagined.
“Also a kind of Miracle Race, quite similar to us Tree Elves,” said Grandfather Andrew, “But there are many types of giants, almost all over the world; as Miracle Descendants, the chance of directly awakening is very low.”
Put simply, while giant bloodlines are rare, the awkward part is the scattered distribution, potentially anywhere on the Miracle Continent.
And this also meant that Silly Big Guy’s miracle mission was impossible to appear.
As long as there was another of his kindred Giant Tribe outside, the Black Leather Book would never be able to unlock his mission.
“No wonder.”
Those present were Bailuo’s confidants.
Grandfather Andrew was a Miracle Citizen of Bailuo, and his relationship with Bailuo was no different than Sherri’s with Bailuo.
The old uncle didn’t even need to be mentioned, as he was one of Bailuo’s most important family members.
Furthermore, the old uncle had recently been endowed with Fairy Armor by Bailuo.
The Miracle Power had formed a pact with him, and this meant that all the People of Yatun had become Bailuo’s Miracle Citizens while their strength increased immensely.
“Big brother, Grandfather, did you call me over for something?”
With a full stomach, Silly Big Guy said, “I am strong; I can carry very heavy things.”
“Hahaha.”
Listening to Big Chunk naively showcasing his abilities, Bailuo laughed.
“This guy, he’s quite adorable.”
He liked this guileless big boy and intended to nurture him.
The old uncle told Bailuo that Silly Big Guy was simple-minded but had an extraordinary constitution; should he receive Miracle Power, he would certainly not be inferior to the People of Yatun, a truly malleable prospect.
And indeed, that was the case. Bailuo handed Silly Big Guy a shield imbued with Fairy Power, which upon releasing its constraints, rushed into Silly Big Guy’s body.
Its entry into the body signified Silly Big Guy’s loyalty to Bailuo.
Afterwards, as the Fairy Power lingered within him, it meant that Silly Big Guy had the potential to assimilate the Fairy Power.
Because of the Mysterious Dragon, any Miracle Power under Bailuo’s command could adapt to the People of Yatun.
But for outsiders, the probability was still very low.
Hailbo, Silly Big Guy, Ina.
The appearance of these three children made Bailuo very happy.
Bailuo could gain three subjects who were both loyal and talented.
Of course, the most important thing was the success of the experiment—that there could be existences that met the needs of the People of Yatun among outsiders.
Finding them, nurturing them, Yatun could develop rapidly just the same.
“Besides Big Chunk, you don’t have a name, do you?”
“Big Chunk is Big Chunk.”
“Hahaha.”
Bailuo laughed, “That’s not a name.”
“Let me give you one.”
Bailuo looked Big Chunk up and down and said, “You have a robust build, and if you weren’t always grinning foolishly, you would actually look quite imposing. I will call you Tagger.”
Tagger, which means tiger.
“Tagger? Big Chunk, Tagger?”
Tagger looked confusedly at himself and Bailuo nodded repeatedly. Finally, the three-hundred-pound boy realized that this was his own name.
“Tagger, Tagger, I am Tagger…”
As he repeated his name over and over, Tagger grew happier and happier. He did not understand the significance of a name, but he felt an instinctive joy.
“He really is a Silly Tiger.”
Nors was the training officer for the Silly Tiger, so he couldn’t possibly be absent. “Your Majesty, is Tagger still training under my command?”
“He is not quite suitable for that anymore.”
Bailuo felt that the Silly Tiger might not learn much.
In terms of intelligence, Bailuo didn’t see it as an issue.
Miracle Power was very miraculous, it could not only enhance a person’s constitution but also revitalize the spirit and mind, making them more clever.
So as long as Tagger continued to receive the enhancement of Miracle Power, he could become smart.
“Let the Fairies teach him skills.”
Bailuo said, “Along with that child called Hailbo.”
“Both of them together?”
“Yes.”
Bailuo to Nors, “They already have a good relationship. If they can deepen their bond and build camaraderie, isn’t that exactly the fine tradition that our Yadun promotes?”
If a person knows love, then even if they are bad, even if they are hateful, there must be something pitiable about them.
Like Yilona, he could not gain the favor of Fairy Power because he was too worried about his sister, but Bailuo did not dislike him.
A brother who looked after his family.
There was nothing wrong with such a person’s nature.
Bailuo was willing to wait for the day he would truly open his heart and blend into Yatun.
“All right.”
Bailuo glanced at the sky and realized it was getting dark.
The Silly Tiger had been fed, and it was just about time for him to learn combat skills in the forest with the Fairies.
“Train hard.”
Bailuo said gently, “If you qualify, you can have a snack tonight.”
“Snack, what is that?”
“Um…”
Bailuo explained, “It means you get to eat another meal in the evening.”
“Food!!”
The Silly Tiger’s eyes lit up, “Tagger, likes snacks.”
“Hahahahaha…”
Being with this guileless Silly Big Guy, Bailuo felt as if he were with the people of Yatun.
“Go on, take it seriously.”
Bailuo patted the Silly Tiger’s shoulder forcefully, and the big boy showed a simple, foolish grin, then cheerfully followed Nors away.
“Then I will be leaving too, Your Majesty.”
“You have worked hard, Nors.”
“It’s my duty.”
Nors had been training recruits for the past month and therefore lived in the square administration hall, which was the building that looked like a church.
“I will inspect in a month,” Bailuo said, “by that time, we will celebrate properly.”
“Yes!”
Nors took his leave, and Bailuo continued to stay with the two elders, for they had other things to do that night.
