Chapter 656 A familiar guest
But there was a reason why the fourth prince had chosen this young wyvern instead of choosing a fully grown wyvern.
He said that it was because it was easier to teach one that was younger, so he could shape it into how he wanted it to grow.
However, those that observed them closely would have noticed something.
The young wyvern…was just like the fourth prince, which was why they had bonded in the first place.
It wasn’t that the young wyvern was just as smart as the fourth prince, but rather…it was just as good at hiding its true face like the fourth prince. When the wyvern met the fourth prince, the two of them looked at each other as if there was some kind of resonance between them.
Perhaps that was just how kindred spirits acted when they found each other.
The parents of this young wyvern didn’t even try to stop it from going with the fourth prince, though it did look like they were sorry about sending their son to the fourth prince to take care of.
If only they knew about the fourth prince’s true personality as well…
Like that, the fourth prince was able to choose his wyvern partner.
I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry seeing the two of them together.
But the one thing that I did know was that I should feel sorry for his subordinates since it was almost as if the fourth prince had doubled. In the future, they would surely suffer because this wyvern chose to go with the fourth prince.
…
A week later, there was a group of guests that arrived in my town.
The one who led this group was someone that I was familiar with.
It was Viscount Henry who brought this group of nobles to my town.
These were the nobles of the surrounding area, the same ones that I had gotten to sign the economic zone development agreement. So it could be said that these were nobles that were on the same side as me.
But the ones that Viscount Henry chose were the nobles that he was close to.
There was a reason for that.
After greeting them, I got right into the main topic by bringing them to see the wyverns.
Other than Viscount Henry who already knew about the wyverns, the rest of them all revealed shocked looks.
But even if Viscount Henry already knew about the wyverns, it was hard for him not to be surprised.
These were wyverns after all, they were very shocking to begin with.
After taking some time to calm down, one of the nobles asked, “Count Zwein, why are you showing us all of these?”
The other nobles all looked at me with focused looks, as if they were waiting to hear what I had to say.
I just calmly said, “Because I want you to take some of these wyverns with you.”
They all had shocked looks when they heard me say this. There were even looks of doubt as if they were trying to figure out if what I was saying was real.
I didn’t say anything as I just waited for them to respond.
Finally, one of the nobles asked, “You want us to take these terrifying beasts with us?”
With a faint smile, I shook my head and said, “They’re not terrifying beasts, they’re quite tame if you know how to treat them.”
After saying that, I pointed at one of the wyvern riders that was about to take off.
They all followed my finger to look at this wyvern rider fly off into the sky and do drills as they were flying.
None of the nobles could believe that a human could ride a wyvern like this, but there was no denying the facts that were in front of their eyes. Even if they wanted to deny it, they couldn’t since it was right there.
Still, they couldn’t help feeling worried about this.
Once the demonstration was over, I calmly said, “The reason why I want to give you these wyverns is because I want you to use them to protect our special economic zone. You will train them and take care of them to patrol the area of this special economic zone.”
All of the nobles were once again surprised to hear this, but they quickly revealed serious looks.
When their own benefits were involved, they naturally became serious.A wyvern was a powerful asset and having just one would mean that their forces would be much stronger.
And the fact that this was linked to the special economic zone meant that they could expect support from Count Zwein on how to train these wyverns. After all, this special economic zone was something that he proposed, so there was no doubt that he would provide help to make sure that it succeeds.
So even if they looked serious, there were excited glows that were in their eyes.
It didn’t take me long to work out the details of this, the only thing left was for the nobles to figure out who they would send to take these wyverns.
There were fifteen nobles here, which meant that each of them would be taking three wyverns each since I was planning on only giving them fifty wyverns in the first place. The last five would go to Viscount Henry since he was my direct subordinate.
Three wyvern riders under them…it meant that no one would dare attack their territory in the future.
If it was my previous world, it would be like suddenly gaining three tanks.
No one was crazy enough to send soldiers to fight tanks head on.
With this, it would guarantee the safety of their territories in the future.
But at the same time, it meant that they were forced into the same boat as me since I was the one that gave them the wyverns.
They had seen the Wyvern Queen’s ability to control the wyverns, so they knew that it would be impossible to rebel against me with these wyverns.
Now…it was all about who could get closer to me.
