Chapter 629 Wyvern tamer (2)
The wyvern didn’t do a thing as it just looked at me for a bit, but then…
It suddenly moved its head forward towards the hand that I was holding out.
I could hear the gasps that were coming from behind me, but I just ignored them as I focused on the wyvern that was in front of me.
After another slight pause, the wyvern suddenly lowered its head and then pressed its nose up against the palm of my hand.
I let out an internal sigh of relief when I saw the wyvern acting this way.
After all, it had been a gamble on whether this wyvern would act the same way as in the game and it seemed that this gamble had paid off.
This wyvern was different from the other wyverns out there. It was a wyvern that was considered an outcast because of how different its personality was from the other wyverns.
The other wyverns were very aggressive towards anything that they regarded as weaker than them. Naturally that included the humans that they regarded as weaker than them.
But this wyvern was different because it was a moderate kind of wyvern that didn’t think the same way as the other wyverns.
Instead of acting aggressive, it wanted to befriend those that were weaker than it.
As such, it had been driven away from the pack that it came from and was now living alone in the wild.
After seeing the wyvern act this way, my hand started to move along the neck of the wyvern.
There was a moment of surprise from the wyvern, but then it started wagging its tail as my hand started to scratch its neck. This was a secret technique that I had learned from the game and while it was hard to replicate it in real life, it seemed that I had been successful with how the wyvern was acting.
I just kept scratching different parts of the wyvern and soon it was even sticking its tongue out in pleasure from all the scratches that it was receiving.
Once it was like this, I turned back to the others and said, “It’s alright, it’s friendly.”
But there wasn’t a single response to this.
Rather, all of them looked at me with very strange looks as if they couldn’t comprehend what was happening right now.
They could see it with their eyes, but believing it was a bit hard.
After all, there was this giant wyvern, a terrifying beast that was acting like a dog while it was being scratched.
No matter how they thought about it, it didn’t seem to make sense at all.
Seeing them like this, I just shook my head with a bitter smile before turning my attention back to the wyvern.
It wasn’t over yet, there was still something that I had to do before that.
Since its mouth was open, then it was a good chance for me to move forward to take a closer look at it.
I could see what I was looking for, so I started reaching towards its mouth without a single trace of hesitation. However, the ones that were behind me were terrified when they saw what I was doing.
But they didn’t dare make any noise out of fear of scaring the wyvern into closing its mouth.
So I could feel their gazes on my back, putting pressure on me.
Once again, I ignored them as I reached for one of its teeth and slowly dug out a bone that was stuck in between them. It wasn’t that hard to dislodge, but this was a bone that seemed a bit rotten.
It must have been inside of the wyvern’s mouth for some time now.
As soon as the bone was pulled out, the wyvern revealed a surprised look.
It didn’t close its mouth right away and waited for me to pull myself out before suddenly closing it. It opened and closed its mouth several times before revealing a relieved look.
It was as if something had been bothering it for a long time and now it was feeling the relief that came from that thing being removed.
After a while, the wyvern suddenly lowered its head and nuzzled up against me, as if it was showing its gratitude for what I had.
I just threw away the bone in my hand with a smile before saying, “Do you want to come with me?”
When the wyvern heard this, it stopped nuzzling against me and stood up to look at me with a strange look.
It was clear that the wyvern had understood what I had said, but that wasn’t strange since wyverns were high ranked monsters to begin with. These were monsters with high levels of intelligence in the first place, so it was only natural that they understood what I was saying.
But I could see that there was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of the wyvern.That wasn’t strange either since this was our first time meeting and I was asking it to come with me. It would have been strange if it actually trusted me right away to follow me without a word.
I knew what I had to do.
Raising my hand, I pulled out another squirrel carcass and said, “If you follow me, I can get you more treats. I’ll make sure that you get a treat every day and you’ll never have to care about your food ever again.”
The wyvern’s eyes lit up when it saw the squirrel carcass and those eyes followed it as I swayed it back and forth in front of me.
After a while, the wyvern gave a slow nod to show that it agreed with this and I tossed the squirrel carcass to it.
With that, I had tamed the wyvern.
Though I seemed calm on the surface, I was actually letting out a sigh of relief deep down.
This wyvern being so easy to tame was a part of the game design since it was necessary to tame a wyvern to start the following quest. It was supposed to be a scripted event, so it was impossible to fail this.
But this game world had become a real world, so anything was possible.
Luckily, the wyvern itself hadn’t changed and it was still easy to tame.
Or else…
