Fortunately, that situation did not arise; almost the very second after she had confirmed her decision, the beautiful Female City Lord started nodding like mad.

"Deal, I will definitely choose the most suitable familiar for you, Emissary."

Olivia nodded rapidly, as if she was terrified of the other party changing their mind.

After all, it had been over a decade since she had seen her foster mother and other companions, and she truly missed them. Initially, she even thought that she might never see them again in this lifetime. But now that there was a chance, she was not going to miss it no matter what.

Her reaction actually made Dorothy look on her more favorably; after all, she thought, someone who valued their family so much couldn't be all that bad, could they?

However, remembering the title of tyrant that the Female City Lord once bore, Dorothy became somewhat unsure again.

But who cares, as far as she was concerned at the moment, she quite liked her.

"So, do you have any particular requirements for the familiar, Emissary?"

Olivia asked cautiously.

"There aren't really any big requirements, but it should have potential, and a higher limit would be best. Also, it would be good if it could be used as a mount; other than that, I'm not too bothered."

Dorothy scratched her head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Oh, and one more thing, it should be easier to raise, not too delicate."

However, thinking about the two Gold-Devouring Beasts at home, she quickly added.

Sigh, she really couldn't afford a 'fortune favored' addition in her future; she was truly running out of means.

Olivia: "????"@@novelbin@@

Hearing the Dragon King's Envoy's requirements, the Female City Lord was full of question marks.

Do you call these minor requirements?

Familiars suitable as mounts are indeed easier to find, but high potential and easy care are contradictory demands.

So you want the horse to run fast, but also don't want it to eat any grass, is that it? You must be dreaming.

If someone else had made such demands to her, she would already want to punch them.

After all, the strength of a tamed beast was directly proportional to the resources consumed, which is common knowledge known to all in this world; the more high-level the tamed beast, the bigger a gold-devourer it is. Most Beastmasters, even though powerful, are virtually penniless, and this is because tamed beasts are just too expensive to keep.

Training tamed beasts is no simple task; they are more fussy than humans. Behind a successful Beastmaster, there's often a whole systematized logistics team solely dedicated to serving them.

Like nutritionists who specialize in the diets of tamed beasts, veterinarians that take care of their health, and Beast Tamers who formulate training plans, and so on.

Training tamed beasts is all about burning money; if you don't have money, then you shouldn't get involved, as the poor are not fit to be Beastmasters.

But people under the eaves have no choice but to bow their heads. Whether she can see her family again all depends on the Dragon King's Envoy right in front of her; no matter how outrageous the demand, she must find a way to fulfill it. If there are difficulties, then those difficulties must be overcome.

Are cultivation resources the issue? For her family, she'll give what is needed.

Olivia bit her lip, hardened her heart, and resolved herself to this.

Although she, the Lord of the World, is now a ruler in name only, no longer possessing the absolute power she once had, and much of her once accumulated wealth had been mercilessly taken by that dreadful Dragon King, look at her now, having moved out of the Royal Palace and become just a small City Lord, and you'd know she's no longer as affluent as she was.

But luckily, even a camel starved death is larger than a horse; she still retained a substantial amount of private money. Spending a portion of top-tier tamed beast cultivation resources would make her heart bleed, but for her family, money is nothing but an object; if it's gone, then so be it.

"So, Emissary, do you have any preference regarding the race or attribute of the tamed beast?"

The Female City Lord asked, teeth clenched.

"Hmm, there are races to choose from? What kinds of races are there?"

Dorothy was taken aback, marveling at the fact that it truly was a specialized beast-civilization; so professional that they had such fine distinctions.

"Certainly, our world broadly categorizes tamed beasts into five main types: animal, plant, Insect Race, Necromancy, and Mechanical Type."

"And if classified by attributes, there are ten primary attributes: Time, Space, Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Wood, Lightning, Light, and Darkness."

"And if we go into further detail, there are many subcategories. For example, animals have birds, land creatures, fish..."

Olivia spoke eloquently; the Female City Lord seemed genuinely passionate about the way of tamed beasts. Once she started discussing them, she became completely animated, shedding her earlier submissive and weak demeanor, and overflowed with confidence, finally resembling a top expert.

"Then let's go with a Space-Time attribute familiar. As for the race, I'm not fussy, but if possible, I hope it looks good and isn't too ugly," Dorothy said, her head spinning from the array of customized options available, though she had no specific goals and just made a casual selection.

She has always been a person who let fate decide, believing the familiar will find its way to her when the time is right.

Female City Lord: "....."

Well, look at that, demanding the rarest Space-Time attribute beast right off the bat, you call this a low requirement?

Olivia was inwardly shaking with frustration.

Although she indeed knew the whereabouts of many precious Space-Time attribute beasts, those kinds of beasts were huge gold-devourers, and she braced herself for a heavy bloodletting this time.
