Chapter 1043: Supplements
Chapter 1043: Supplements
The Great Wolf cubs seemed tired when we came back, but they immediately perked up the moment that they saw me.
It seemed that they had imprinted on me after I saved them, which is why they were so enthusiastic about seeing me. It was almost as if they regarded me as their parent with the way that they showed affection towards me.
Of course, this wasn’t a bad thing.
Though it did make me a bit hesitant about giving them away later…
Perhaps there was no need to give away this first batch of Great Wolves since they would be used as breeding wolves. Perhaps it was better to keep these Great Wolf cubs by my side instead.
Or rather, it would be better to give them to my wives for some extra protection.
Wolves were loyal and these Great Wolves were certainly powerful with their ability to cast spells. If they were to stay by my wives’ side, then they would certainly be safe if anything unexpected happened.
But for now, the important thing was checking how they were doing.
They had been very weak yesterday when we brought them back from the Great Wolf den. They had recovered a bit last night after we fed them something, but they were still weak from their days of starvation.
One of the female wolf cubs had been extremely weak from her period of malnutrition.
However, it seemed like they were doing much better today.
With the help of the Harakka Tribe, I had been able to find some supplements that work great for these Great Wolves and it seemed like they had mostly recovered from their ordeal. They had been a bit listless in the morning, but it seemed like they were doing much better at night.
It seemed that they had recovered most of their energy and seemed much stronger.
Even the weakest female cub was running around like it was nothing.
Once they had their fill of fun, they went back to their nest and split off.
Without me interfering at all, they had split off into their own couples.
There had been two males and two female wolves, but I had been worried that they would follow the pack rules where the alpha would have all the males. I had been worried that they would fight over the female wolves and I would need to separate them.
But it seemed that this worry wasn’t necessary.
Terry split off with the weakest female cub while the other two got together.
It seemed that the weakest female cub remembered when Terry warmed her up last night when she was at her weakest and now wouldn’t leave Terry alone.
The other two wolves seemed to recognize this, so they just got together with each other instead of disturbing the two of them.
I was very happy to see that they decided their own pairings without me having to interfere. This would make things much easier in the future when they had their own cubs.
Though having only two sets of parents would result in some inbreeding…
Thinking about this, I made a proposal to Alidus.
“Can you go back and bring some more Great Wolf cubs back another time? I don’t want to have inbreeding, so it’s better if we can bring in some fresh blood from time to time.”
Alidus slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, “You know how dangerous it is to do that. Unless…”
He didn’t finish what he said and just looked at me with a meaningful look.
I fully understood what he meant by this, so I responded with a nod, “We don’t have to do it now. We can do it in the future when I come back to trade with your tribe again.”
At this, Alidus gave a nod in response to show that he agreed to this.
He didn’t mind this request at all since he knew that getting the Great Wolf cubs wasn’t a dangerous thing since the Great Wolves were actually abandoning these cubs.
He had actually felt sorry for the Great Wolf cubs that were abandoned in that hole, so there was a part of him that wanted to help them if he could.
Though Alidus knew that it was impossible to save all of the Great Wolf cubs, it wasn’t as if he would insist on saving every one that they found. They would only try to save the ones that they could.
With that settled, it seemed that the problem of the future of this wolf pack was solved.
Inbreeding would lead to an unhealthy pack, so that was the last thing that I wanted since I wanted to make these Great Wolves powerful so they could become battle companions in the future just like the wyverns.
After that matter was settled, I looked at Alidus and asked, “Did you get what I asked for?” Alidus gave a nod before taking the bag off his back and dropping it in front of me.
I was almost pushed back by the gust of wind that was generated by this bag since this was a bag for a giant, but I was able to stand my ground. After the bag settled, I went forward and pulled out the things that were inside of the bag.
Seeing these things, there was a smile that appeared on my lips.
These were the items that I had requested from the Harakka Tribe while I was gone at the giant market.
These items weren’t just normal items, they were special supplements that I could use to help the Great Wolves develop their bodies.
If they were fed these supplements, they would become much stronger than they were now.
They might even become stronger than the Great Wolves that were their parents.
Just like how I fed Joan those supplements that made her the Wyvern Queen.
But I made sure to take it slow since there was no telling what would happen if they became
too strong.
I had to make sure that they were still weaker than Joan to maintain the pack order so they didn’t go crazy.
Still, that didn’t mean that they would be weak after eating these supplements.
Putting the supplements in front of the Great Wolf cubs, I said with a smile, “Eat and grow stronger.”
