Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 112

'As if someone had poured hundreds of books into his head,' thought the prince. 'But that doesn't make sense...'

Records showed that Ren came from a modest family. Limited wealth wouldn't allow the kind of library needed to accumulate such knowledge. And although the academy had an impressive library, the boy hadn't been there even half a year.

Was he really some kind of genius or...?

"Tell me about your spore," Julius said casually.

The mushrooms in Ren's hair pulsed with nervousness. It was the question he had been dreading since this journey began.

But then, something changed in his expression.

"You know what, your highness? It's not fair," Ren stopped, turning toward the prince. "You ask all the questions. How about I ask something too?"

Julius blinked, surprised by the sudden change in attitude. Then smiled, amused by the boldness.

"About my beasts, I suppose?"

"Exactly!" Ren's mushrooms pulsed with genuine enthusiasm. "What's it like having a Qilin? And what's your other beast?"

The prince laughed softly. The boy was skilled at diverting attention... but perhaps if he played along it would make him relax...

"The Qilin is the beast of royalty as I already told you," he began, watching Ren's reaction. "My father is the only one who has a platinum rank one. An impressive sight, truly."

"And your siblings?"

"None have managed to take it beyond gold 3," Julius sighed. "I myself stalled at gold 2. The cultivation... failed after that and my Qilin matured." _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

Ren's mushrooms pulsed with curiosity. "Why?"

"There's something different in my father's method," the prince shrugged. "Some detail we haven't been able to replicate. He insists it's simple, but..."

"Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to see," Ren commented, surprising Julius with the depth of the observation.

"True. As for my other beast," continued the prince, "it's a rank gold 1 elemental wolverine."

"The ones that can adapt to different elements?"

"Exactly, it's popular among nobility too. I have it attuned to the earth element, though changing its neutral element in juvenile stage isn't difficult. Most of my sisters prefer water, my brothers fire..." he stopped, a nostalgic smile on his lips. "A shame both beasts are already mature. The decisions we make when young follow us all our life..."

Ren's mushrooms pulsed more intensely. "How... how do you manage to have two beasts?"

Julius smiled enigmatically. "Sorry, but that's a royal family secret. If I told you, I'd have to kill you."

Ren froze for a moment, until he noticed the gleam of amusement in the prince's eyes.

"Just kidding," Julius laughed at Ren's expression. "The method for obtaining two beasts isn't really a deadly secret. It's just... impractical to replicate on a large scale."

The mushrooms in Ren's hair pulsed with curiosity while they continued advancing.

"Unlike Yino we don't have easy methods to cultivate double tamers," the prince continued, his expression becoming more serious. "According to our recent visitor, they've found a way to make the process quite replicable. They're even experimenting with three beasts."

"And is it true?"

"Seems so... but they have their own limitations," Julius nodded. "Their abyssal beasts seem to have the limit at silver 3. No matter how many they accumulate, if that's the limit in their individual power…"
