Chapter 19: Dog Training and Exotic Meat
Chapter 19: Dog Training and Exotic Meat
The next morning, the servants began their dog training with an elderly instructor, who had a goat-like beard and was accompanied by a slender dog resembling a Lantry Hound from his previous life.
Rayn recognized the breed, with its long limbs and body shaped like a bow, possessing incredible speed and explosiveness. Even its head seemed designed to reduce wind resistance, narrower than most dogs, but with powerful jaw muscles and a strong bite, making it an excellent noble hunting dog.
However, the elderly instructor seemed disinterested in teaching the servants, merely going through the motions.
"After some time, each of you will receive a three-month-old Lantry Hound. During the assessment, if you can make the dog perform the commands of squatting, attacking, stopping, and retrieving, you will pass the test," the instructor said.
The rest of the time, the instructor didn't bother speaking much to the servants but directed them to the dog kennels in the western outer courtyard to choose a puppy and then play with it.
Although the servants were confused, they were delighted to have a small puppy to play with.
During this time, Rayn paid close attention to Prominent Brow's expressions.
Soon, an intense feeling of fullness emerged from his stomach, as if he had consumed ten packs of military-grade compressed biscuits from his previous life.

Rain secretly chuckled to himself.
At that moment, Lady Shadiya, the head maid, who was standing by, had a slightly playful smile on her face.
Lady Shadiya, now forty years old, opened the door and gestured for Rain to enter the room. After closing the door, she remained respectfully standing to the side.
Rain's gaze just now? Claire couldn't help but blush slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Don't jump to conclusions! I'm not cultivating the Mammoth Breath Technique!"
In no time, Rain devoured the so-called rampaging bear meat, and he still felt unsatisfied, saying, "Delicious! But it's a bit too little!"
The servants were shocked!
That bearded guy, it was you all along! Just as Rain confirmed that his employer was the bearded man, the man quickly found an excuse for Jack the Drunkard, saying that Jack hadn't had a chance to make his move on Rain yesterday.
Rampaging bear meat? Is it a particularly tasty kind of bear meat?
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Poisoned?
From the furnishings, it seemed to be a spacious study. There was a tea table, several lambskin chairs, and an antique rosewood desk. The candle on the mountain-shaped lampstand on the desk glowed warmly.
Suddenly, Rain felt a warm current spreading rapidly from his stomach to the rest of his body.
Is this... the breath technique?
"Damn it, that Jack the Drunkard is so unreliable! He's always dragging his feet. I'll have to go and urge him again this Sunday to get him to act quickly!"
However, Rain also noticed that there was a door at the back of the study, leading to another place.
Rain suddenly felt overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events. He had the feeling of being hit by a falling pie from the sky, leaving him dazed.
Indeed, there was a covered silver platter on the tea table.
"Rain, there's a piece of rampaging bear meat prepared especially for you on the tea table. Go and eat it," Claire said without looking up. Lady Shadiya, the head maid, subtly gestured towards the tea table.
As it was written in the common language, Rain could understand it. The Empire had done well in promoting literacy among the common people.
Playing with dogs was fun, but after a whole day of it, Rain's strength hadn't improved much. Moreover, the new occupation panel he had been expecting, like the Dog Trainer, hadn't triggered.
"The Mammoth Breath Technique? Now I understand. Miss Claire, how could you have such strength to wield a seventy-pound two-handed greatsword like a wooden stick," Rain glanced at the well-endowed Claire, as if realizing something. But Claire was no ordinary person; she was sharp-witted and had already reached the level of a knight at the young age of seventeen. She didn't miss a single move Rain made.
The youngest daughter of the Earl, Miss Claire, was holding a quill pen and writing something on a parchment.
Rain approached and opened it to see a piece of meat the size of a palm, emitting a mouth-watering aroma. He realized that the scent he had smelled upon entering was coming from this meat.
This time, the maid appeared not on a Saturday evening as before, when almost all the servants had left.
Absolutely not!
Rain eagerly read the content of the breath technique.
So, the beautiful maid had just left with Rain.
The meat smelled too good.
However, Rain was puzzled. Could it be that there was no Dog Trainer occupation? That shouldn't be the case!
"Yes, my family hasn't even established a connection with Lady Shadiya, the head maid. The Reyn family is just a tenant, and they have such connections? It's impossible!" Speckles thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Rain, you take a look first!"
Hiss! Delicious and chewy!
"Come in."
"The Mammoth Breath Technique mainly develops one's constitution and strength. I think it suits your current situation."
Damn it, it suits my current situation!
Rain had just been exposed by Claire, and his face was slightly embarrassed. But as soon as Claire finished speaking, he realized what she meant.
So, she was subtly calling him a skinny dog!
