Adrian looked at the two childish men and could not help but shake his head. “You don’t have to be so afraid,” he explained. “It’s very docile. As long as you don’t provoke it, it will never hurt you.”

“If you don’t believe me, I can demonstrate it to you.” Adrian walked towards the Fire Demon Lizard and squatted down to gently caress its rough face.

As soon as the spiritual beast felt its master’s caress, it immediately displayed an expression of obedience and enjoyment. It even let out a low, hissing sound.

Adrian looked at the two people, who were watching from afar, and said gently, “You can come over and try. Don’t be afraid.”

However, the two of them shook their heads and refused to do so no matter what.

Charles was better off. After all, they had lived together for a period of time. He just didn’t dare to get too close to the Fire Demon Lizard as he was afraid that he would be swallowed by this uncontrollable and large spiritual beast.

Meanwhile, Richard hadn’t been that afraid of the Fire Demon Lizard until he learned that it wasn’t Adrian’s contracted spiritual beast.

“Mr. Adrian, you’re so terrifying! You can tame a spiritual beast like this even without a contract! Furthermore, this is someone else’s contractual spiritual beast! No one would believe this if news of this were to spread!” Richard looked at Adrian from afar as he gave him a thumbs-up in admiration.

After saying that, Richard, who had always respected Adrian, felt even more in awe.

Adrian didn’t think that this was a special ability. He just smiled humbly and said softly, “You’re too kind. This is all because it likes to follow me. Otherwise, I can’t do anything about it.”

Richard smiled, but still thought that this was an extremely shocking thing.

However, Richard didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he went into his room and took out the few remaining Silver Coins he had hidden at home to use on the way. Then, he tidied up a few more clothes and prepared some food for the journey before heading out.

“Mr. Adrian, we need to get to the escort agency as soon as possible, or they will leave by nightfall,” said Richard quickly as he looked at Adrian.

Adrian nodded and pointed at the spiritual beast resting under the tree. Then, he suggested “Let’s sit on the Fire Demon Lizard. This way, not only can we save on the cost of transport, we can also let it follow us at the same time.”

“No, no, no.” Richard only took a glance at the Fire Demon Lizard in the distance before shaking his head in fear.

Charles, on the other hand, was fine. As long as Adrian was by his side, he wouldn’t be so afraid of the Fire Demon Lizard as he knew about Adrian’s special ability. If the spiritual beast dared to have any evil intentions, it would be the one to suffer in the end.

Thus, Charles couldn’t help but mock Richard. “Richard, you’re so timid. How can you enter an escort company to transport goods like this? Why don’t you give up? It’s impossible to earn 300 Silver Coins in two months!”

“What do you mean?” Richard was instantly enraged. He glowered at Charles and gritted his teeth as he said, “Isn’t it just a spiritual beast? What’s there to be afraid of? Just sit on it!”

While the two of them were bickering, the Fire Demon Lizard seemed to have sensed Adrian’s call. It stood up lazily and walked slowly towards them with heavy steps.

After walking to Adrian’s side, the orange-red lizard rubbed against its master’s hand affectionately, looking very docile and obedient.

Adrian caressed the scales of the Fire Demon Lizard and smiled. “Please bring us to the escort agency today.”

“Hrr…” The Fire Demon Lizard growled in response to Adrian.

Then, Adrian took the lead and sat on the massive body of the Fire Demon Lizard. Charles followed closely behind and climbed up.

Richard was the only one who was still a little hesitant and nervous, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and sit down upon seeing Charles’ disdainful sneer. Only then did he discover that the scales of this spiritual beast were extremely cold to the touch.

Just as Richard was about to take a closer look, the Fire Demon Lizard suddenly started running, and he was almost thrown off its back. He was so scared that he hurriedly grabbed Charles, who was in front of him.

As expected, Charles took the opportunity to humiliate Richard again, making Richard very angry.

Adrian could only shake his head helplessly. He really didn’t know why these two would quarrel wherever they went.

At this moment, the Fire Demon Lizard ran onto the streets. It was very eye-catching with the three halos surrounding its body.

Richard immediately told Adrian the route to the escort agency. Then, Adrian relayed the information to the Fire Demon Lizard.

Over an hour later, the Fire Demon Lizard brought them to the escort agency without making any mistakes along the way.

Richard jumped down from the back of the Fire Demon Lizard. His legs were weak, and his face was a little pale. He appeared to be in a very bad state.

Meanwhile, Charles, who always mocked Richard, didn’t look good either. He often felt like vomiting.

Only Adrian remained calm throughout. He easily tied the Fire Demon Lizard to a tree.

However, this rope was useless against the Fire Demon Lizard. If it wanted to break free, this rope would not be able to trap it.

Thus, Adrian rubbed the Fire Demon Lizard’s head and smiled. “Be good and stay here.”

When he was done, Adrian turned to the two men behind him and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine.” Richard shook his hand, but his face was faintly cramped up.

Then, they entered the escort company. There were many goods here, as well as many people around them who wanted to join the escort company. They quickly ran to the back and queued up.

At the entrance, an old man named Nedam was busy registering the names and information of the applicants. He was the registrar who selected applicants to escort goods. His main job was to eliminate the weaker beast tamers.

“What’s your name? What Beast Tamer level are you at? What kind of spiritual beast do you have?” The old Nedam picked up his pen and asked with his head lowered. He did not even look at the person who had come to register.

“I’m Roy, a Black Iron Beast Tamer. My spirit beast is a Level-1 Gale Horse.”

The registrar answered Nedam’s question honestly. However, before he could finish, Nedam waved his hand and said in a clear voice, “Next.”

This person was stunned for a moment before hurriedly asking, “Why? I’m not done yet. Please give me another chance!”

“You are too weak. This escort mission is very difficult. You will die,” said Nedam calmly.
