Chapter 75: The First Attempt at Premium "Dog Food"
Chapter 75: The First Attempt at Premium "Dog Food"
After several days of preparation and message relaying, news had spread and trickled down.
Just as Rain returned to Shiny Gold Town at sunset, in a study on the second floor of the Habsburg Estate's castle...
The noble heir, Dennis, seemed to be undergoing some sort of Knight Breathing Technique training. Certain parts of his body were coated with an oily dark liquid, emitting a distinct medicinal scent.
His head guard, Ruler, was reporting something by his side.
"What? A failure?" Dennis exclaimed, his face filled with disbelief.
"How could it possibly fail?"
"Master Michel said that we provided incorrect intelligence, leading to the mission's failure, and so we must take full responsibility!" Ruler looked at the disgruntled young master Dennis, thought for a moment, and then relayed Michel's exact words.
"I'll take full responsibility, damn it!"
It seemed that the minority had to yield to the majority.

"By the way, big brother, what's its name?" Mint asked, looking up.
Rain rubbed Little Mint's head and said, "Alright! If that's what you want, we'll call it Cookie."
Soon, he was immersed in the soft, fair hands of Little Mint as she kneaded and caressed him, occasionally letting out a contented 'Woof' sound.
"How about this, once the investigation is over, I'll take action. I've bought a few bottles of the poison commonly used by assassins, and among them, the lethal poison is extremely potent. Just a small wound is enough to be fatal."
Most importantly, this 'Divine Blood' has no side effects. The only drawback is its scarcity and high price! Even with the status of a baron's son, Dennis only receives a small bottle's worth each month, and it costs a hundred shiny imperial gold coins.
"Big brother, why are you feeding Cookie this instead of giving him bones?"
This name didn't seem very good, but when Rain glanced at Anna, he saw her nodding in agreement.
But big brother, this stuff is even more expensive than beef, which surprised Mint.
Rain nodded, seeing Mint's happy expression.
Rain smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm still considering it. You can all give your suggestions."
"Great! I've always wanted to raise a pet," Mint exclaimed. Previously, their family's financial situation was not good, and keeping small animals had always been a luxury for Mint. Now that her wish was about to come true, she was naturally overjoyed.
As Rain handed the plate of food to the Greyhound Puppy, Mint looked at it with a hint of disdain and said...
The next second, Rain felt two disdainful gazes from his side.
Moreover, Ruler had also prepared the poison. "Alright, just make sure to not leave any obvious traces!"
Indeed, when the Greyhound Puppy grew up, it would become a slender dog.
"Sister Anna, come and pet it too, it feels so good!" Mint immediately called out to Anna, who was standing nearby.
"Big brother is the best!" Mint gave Rain a warm hug.
"What?" Mint exclaimed, looking at her brother's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking.
After a moment of thought, Dennis finally spoke, "Ruler, go and investigate this Rain again. Could it be that he's truly a rare swordsmanship genius?"
Rain couldn't help but sigh, "Bones? This stuff is even more expensive than beef."
"Two ounces of Waterroot Grass, two eggs, half a pint of milk, and twenty ounces of pork or chicken."
This was also the reason why Dennis didn't want his head guard to personally take on the task.
"Cookie from the cookie?"
"Mhm," Anna agreed, her face filled with excitement. She seemed to love small animals just as much.
As he cultivated the Breath Technique, he felt a noticeable improvement, a stark contrast to his previous state.
"This..." Although Ruler's strength was undeniable, as long as his opponent wasn't a formal knight, he was certain to succeed. However, Ruler's combat skills leaned towards military techniques, leaving obvious traces after battles.
However, he only had three days. Unless he didn't want his share of 'Divine Blood', his personal guard was the best choice.
'Divine Blood' had become popular among the nobility in Mayst County over the past year. For the elderly, it had the effect of slowing down aging, and for those who had not yet attained the extraordinary, it significantly aided in the cultivation of the Knight Breathing Technique.
Soon, a soft, mushy, meat-like substance was prepared.
The threat from Michel, Baron Alonso's butler and top confidant, was not an empty one!
Ruler's words gradually calmed Dennis.
When Rain returned home after fetching a three-month-old greyhound puppy from the shop, he immediately caught the attention of his younger sister, Mint.
"Did that greedy bastard Michel really say that?" Dennis asked, his face turning red with anger.
"Yes, let's call Tina."
"Brother, weren't you supposed to be at the estate for servant training? Why are you back?"
"As you wish, young master. It's my honor to serve you," Ruler said, bowing and slowly leaving the study.
The greyhound puppy was initially a bit afraid, but after being gently caressed by the girls' soft hands, its fear dissipated.
"Young master, if I wait until my investigation is complete before asking Shadow Stab to take action, it will definitely exceed three days."
Since the greyhound was only three months old, its fur was still soft, and touching it felt extremely comfortable.
"If that's the case, let's hire Shadow Stab's assassins to deal with him."
She also knew that their family's life had been improving due to her brother's circumstances, but they couldn't afford to eat beef every day.
Rain tossed 'Cookie' to the two girls and began preparing the dog's nutrient meal according to the instructions in the 'Beast Tamer's Journal'.
"Brother, why don't we name him Cookie?" Mint suggested enthusiastically.
"Wow! Brother, is this a hunting dog? Are we going to keep him?" Mint asked excitedly as she reached out to pet the black greyhound puppy.
Ruler nodded and continued, "Michel said that Baron Alonso is still unaware of this matter. He gave us three days to resolve it perfectly."
Rain followed the instructions, mixing and stirring the ingredients together.
"Otherwise, he will report to the Baron, and next month, young master, your 'Divine Blood' quota will most likely be gone."

According to the information he had gathered just two days ago, 'Divine Blood' originated from Baron Alonso.
"This... It's still unnamed. How about 'Fine Dog'?" Rain suggested casually.
Anna, standing nearby, widened her beautiful eyes, examining the mushy meat in Rain's plate. She studied it carefully, as if trying to understand why it was so expensive.
The greyhound puppy's reaction was immediate!
When Rain brought over the plate, the food instantly caught the puppy's attention. Its originally lying body stood up, and its ears perked up. It wagged its tail around Rain and stared intently at his plate.
It was clear that Rain's premium dog food had captured its interest.
