The Strongest Beast Tamer 120 Packing Up And Striking Deals

They all nodded. Lachlan then turned to Johanson. "Just wondering, since the research lab has been thoroughly destroyed, how about you and your group of researchers join us on our island?"

"Well, while that isn't a bad idea, we would need to get into contact with management before relocating. Who knows, maybe you can make a deal with our management team; similar to the deal they have with the Explorer's Guild," Johanson explained.

"What's the deal you have with them?" Chloe asked.

"Well, they give us materials and we give them items. As they're exploring rather dangerous areas they need weapons to fight inside of them. That's what we provide them with, using bones, teeth, or any rare stone we create powerful weapons," Johanson explained. "And because they give us a lot of beast carca.s.ses, we get to do experimentation on whether or not those beasts are edible, giving explorers more survival information."

"That ain't too bad, I reckon we can strike a similar deal with your management, especially considering we're literally travelling on a fort," Lachlan said.

"What do you mean by that?" Johanson asked in confusion.

"You'll see when we get outside, oh man are you in for a shock," Lachlan said mysteriously. Letting Johanson's imagination run wild with insane ideas as to what Lachlan meant.

"Anyway, we can't exactly leave all these beasts behind, we should take them with us back to the base. Once they outlived their usefulness to the researchers we'll be able to give them to either the parents or the kids," Lachlan said as he looked towards the wolf. "Plus, this thing right here is rather special and I don't really want something so good to die from starvation."

"But how are we going to move them? It'll take days, possibly even weeks if we want to move them naturally," Johanson said.

"How do you get all these beasts here anyway? Is there some sort of secret entrance?" Chloe asked. She remembers the entrance at the wall when they first arrived, there isn't any way that some of these beasts would be able to fit through.

"Of course we have a secret entrance for the beasts as well. It's just that actually moving every single one of them from where they are right now to the exit will take a long time due to how much each of those enclosures weight," Johanson explained.

The group suddenly remembered that the researchers had a secret entrance for their labs, they were just used to going there that they didn't think anything else of it now.

"I think I have a solution for this," Lachlan said. Johanson turned around to looked at him.

Lachlan walked up to the enclosure for the Undead Wolf, to the side were two b.u.t.tons, one which completely releases it and the other that pops out its enclosure. Lachlan hit the b.u.t.ton and the enclosure extended out of the wall; commanding his stone to nullify gravity he yanked the enclosure out.

Johanson stared in shock as she watched Lachlan carry the enclosure many times bigger than himself with one hand. He carried it like a toy and placed it on the ground.

"See, nothing too hard, just a couple round trips and we'll be done," Lachlan said as he patted his hands together.

Johanson didn't know how to reply and just stared at him blankly. Lachlan lightly chuckled seeing her reaction, "You should go and get the scientist to pop out all the enclosures, we'll start taking everything out from here."

Johanson nodded and walked off, making her way to the group of scientist huddled in the corner. She explained the situation and although they believed it to be absurd, they still did what she said due to the trust they had in her.

Back with the group, they were talking about the undead wolf tyrant and sunlight falcon; Lachlan wanted to know everything about the falcon's strength, body of light.

"Simon, can you ask the Falcon about its body of light? It's the strength it used to morph into light particles, I can to know why it couldn't just beam its way through the door," Lachlan explained.

Simon nodded and began communicating with the falcon, his facial expression changed through a variety of things; first was calm, then anger, and finally, it was a tomato. He looked as though he was about to burst in anger.

"The bird explained that its body of light only works on things smaller than it and don't have elemental particles in it. The gap in the door, for example, it's fairly small so the falcon can't go through it as the amount of contact it'll have with the actual door will be too much. But my fist on the other hand, is small, so it's able to easily nullify any and every normal attack I throw at it. However, should elements be added into the mix that's when it becomes dangerous for it, as the elements might disperse the particles used to create the body of light," Simon explained in detail.

The group nodded as they listened, it made sense, as it also meant it wasn't all that overpowered. Granted, should they evolve the Falcon further, there's the chance that strength will undergo another advancement.

"Alright then, let's get everything out of here and on the island," Lachlan said as he picked the wolf's enclosure up again. He began to walk up to the plants on the sides of the walls as well, a.n.a.lysing for anything useful.

Some of them he was uncertain about.

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: Earth Essence Stone

Description: Training earth control near it will improve proficiency and has a slight chance to increase the level. Only useful for 3 hours every day as it needs to regather earth energy.

Location: Is a rare occurrence that can be found anywhere in the world underground.

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: Plant Enhancement Crystals

Description: Able to increase all natural stats for any plant type beast up to 50%. Useable up to five times.

Location: Located around or inside any plantlife rich in vitality.

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: Bone Essence of the Undead

Description: Able to increase the strength and abilities of any undead beasts up to 200%. Useable up to 3 times.

Location: Found in places where millions of bodies rest in the ground.

--------------------------------------------------------

Name: Heart of an Elder Treant

Description: Able to increase the talent of a plant type beast up to first grade. Useable only once.

Location: In the centre of an Elder Treant

--------------------------------------------------------

Some of which was rather odd but understandable. There were many things that had the ability to increase training proficiency, but the earth essence stone was the only thing that had the chance to increase a strength's level.

As for the bone essence, it was lightly going to be used on the undead wolf tyrant once someone managed to tame it. Unfortunately, no one has yet to tame it so the bone essence remains unused.

And as for the plant enhancers; they were likely gotten from chance and considering plant type beast themselves are rare, Alfredo considered these rare as well. But that's also where an issue comes up, why did he kill an Elder Treant instead of trying to fight someone to tame it.

Unless of course, he just accidentally stumbled across an elder treant's corpse in the wild.

But although Lachlan didn't know when any of these things could come in hand, that didn't stop him from taking them. It's best to be prepared for any situation in the future, and there was plenty inside Alfredo's private research area to prepare them.

The rest of the group began collecting things as well, popping them out and bringing them along with them through the air. Fortunately, because all these items were rather small, the capsules they placed in were small as well.

Lachlan walked up to the door and built up the ice again; unfortunately, because the undead wolf's enclosure was so large, he had to widen up the gap for it. He did let the others go through first before he began though.

The wolf watched as Lachlan used the full force of his ice control to push the doors apart, his face cherry red as the veins were popping out of his skin. His breathing was heavy as his chest expanded in and out.

All his muscles were tense, his legs felt as though they would pierce through the metal floor at any moment and stick themselves into the rock beneath.

Once the door was finally opened just enough Lachlan squeezed the enclosure through, being eyed by the wolf the entire time. The wolf also began to play around in its enclosure, jumping from all the wall and then just standing on the ceiling; it was its first experience with weightlessness.

It gave Lachlan a bit of entertainment as he dragged the enclosure through the hall, getting eyed at by every other beast still there. By now at least one-third of the enclosures were being transported outside.

As for the group transporting them, they had just reached their destination. It was a large metal roller door, roughly 1 metre thick. Johanson walked to the wall and hit a b.u.t.ton to open it up, the group summoned a few of their beasts in case something was outside waiting for them.

Once the doors opened they were greeted with an open plain, the same one they landed in. They didn't think they travelled that far underground yet, the hospital was probably close to the centre of the town which was at least 1 kilometre in diameter.

When the group of scientist walked outside they were in a bit of a daze, some of them haven't seen the sun in weeks, others might not have seen it for possibly months. They noticed they were in the shadow of something and they looked up.

The group watched as the researchers' minds exploded at the sight of a floating island. Some of them laughed at the expressions they were making while others were running out of breath.

Johanson looked towards the group and noticed they weren't reacting to it at all, she swiftly managed to connect the dots and stared at them in shock. "Is that the base you were talking about?"

They silently nodded and let that information settle inside the researchers' minds which were on the brink of collapsing.

"But how did you do it?"

"Yeah, it should be impossible to make something that big float"

"Well, I didn't think I needed to explain myself considering you are all researchers. But you did see us move those enclosures right?" Simon asked swiftly getting his answer in the form of a nod. "Well then, it's similar to that but just on a much larger scale."

"Would we be able to researcher how it's done?"

"Yeah, with our minds combined we'll probably find out everything you need to know about the method and even improve on it."

"Well you could, but there's nothing else to learn from, we just need to begin applying it to everything," Simon explained.

"You can't be so sure about that, what if you missed something? That might cost you greatly in the future unless of course, it is because you can't trust us?"

The researcher was really getting on Simon's nerves so he let off. "No, no we don't trust any of you yet. That's how the world works, you build trust, not get rewarded it for absolutely nothing. Tell me, if we were to let you research it and all that data got into the hands of an enemy, wouldn't that cost us greatly in the future?"

Simon's face was right in front of the researcher's, his spit splattering across the researcher's face. Simon continued. "If you don't want to join us then f.u.c.k off back to your laboratory, or at least what's left of it anyway."

The researcher was let there thinking to himself as Simon shot off into the sky with all his enclosures following behind him. The rest of the group followed his league, they brought a few people along with them as well.

Johanson went back into the city and jogged back to the hospital, she still needed to get into contact with their management team. She quickly grabbed her phone from their staff area on the ground floor, they weren't allowed phones in the laboratory in case it messed with any equipment or distracted someone during an experiment.

She began to jog back towards the wall while talking to someone.

Lachlan had just managed to arrive outside the exit where a few researchers were still in a bit of a daze. One researcher, in particular, was staring into nothingness, thinking about something deeply.

Looking to his side he saw Johanson jog outside the town exit with her phone in her hands, she noticed Lachlan and ran up to him, pa.s.sing over the phone. "It's our management team, they want to talk to you about a deal."

Lachlan took hold of the phone and brought it up to his ear. "h.e.l.lo, this is Lachlan, one of the founders for Bloodied Wings."

"h.e.l.lo Lachlan, I'm the head of management and I was told you would like to offer us a deal," It was a gentle and feminine voice, it sounded calm and collected as well as wise.

"Yes indeed, I wish to bring all the researchers located in Patagonia onto our base and create a laboratory facility they can use to continue their research," Lachlan explained.

"Is your base some sort of mobile home?"

"In a way, I suppose it is a mobile home, it's just a ma.s.sive floating island that we can control, the island is roughly 20 - 30 kilometres in diameter so there's plenty of room for the researchers to settle down," Lachlan explained without thinking anything of it.

"Right, and you are actually Lachlan, one of the founders of Bloodied Wings correct? Not some imposter that managed to fool Johanson right?"

Lachlan suddenly remembered the person on the other side of the phone can't see their base. "Yes, I am Lachlan, if you want some form of confirmation Johanson should be able to give you some since she's seeing the base herself."

"That would be love if you could do that"

Lachlan handed the phone back to Johanson who had been listening to the entire conversation. "Yes I know it may sound insane ma'am but he isn't lying, their base is actually a ma.s.sive floating island and yes I can confirm its existence with my own two eyes."

The head of management still wasn't falling for it. "You know impersonating a high ranking researcher can lead to some serious consequences."

Johanson gave up, "Should have done this in the beginning."

She quickly took a photo of the island and sent it to the head of management. "Alright, I sent you a photo of the thing, that should be enough evidence right?"

"Alright then, can you please put Lachlan back on the phone?" Johanson turned back to Lachlan and gave back the phone. "Terribly sorry about that, it's just rather difficult to believe that such a thing isn't a fairy tale."

"All good, so what do you think about that deal now?" Lachlan asked with high hopes.

"We would love to cooperate with you, so where exactly will your base be located?" The head of management still didn't understand the full extent of Bloodied Wings' abilities.

"It will be located on the planet, as for anywhere specific, unfortunately, we don't know. We're currently planning to take a trip to America on it before going to the UK, try to help out here and there while searching for anything useful," Lachlan explained.

"Oh, okay," The head of management finally realised what Lachlan was talking about. "Okay then, we'll love to work together with Bloodied Wings, it'll be a similar deal to what we have with Explorers Guild, you give us stuff to research and we give things to use from that research. Sound good?"

"Yeah, sounds great," Lachlan said.

"Alright, Johanson will be our representative, just talk to her about everything and she'll fill out all the paperwork. It was a pleasure talking to you and making with the partners.h.i.+p"

"The pleasures all mine," Lachlan said before hanging up and handing the phone back to Johanson. "It ended quite nicely, you're going to be their representative for us. So as their representative, you should at least get to take a good look o the island."

Lachlan grabbed hold of her arm and brought her into the air, his hand of ice was hold onto the enclosure, the capsules were stuck to the enclosure due to Lachlan's ice. When they reached a height above the island her face was filled with awe.
