Chapter 9 Poro
Chapter 9 Poro
”Poro? Is that its name? Such a cute pronunciation!” Mira seemed to like the furry little Poro.
Rod also thought Poro was cute, but… what’s the use of being cute? What he wanted was a super powerful hero! Rod held Poro in front of his face and looked at the other’s big black eyes. Can this guy fight? Poro’s big tongue licked over, and Rod subconsciously leaned back, successfully avoiding a face-washing service.
Makarov asked, “Do you know this creature? Does it have any special abilities?”
”It’s called Poro, and it lives in a very cold place. Its abilities…” Rhodes thought carefully,
”It can eat, grow bigger after eating, and explode if it eats too much. Besides that, it can also… act cute?”
Mira praised, “What an interesting ability! It looks like a great contracted creature.”
Rhodes was listless, “Ah, thank you for the encouragement.”
”So that’s it, it’s an ornamental creature? Don’t be discouraged, there are also ornamental ones among the Protoss, such as Nikola of Canis Minor.”
Makarov said, “It’s great to have such a cute creature to accompany you, isn’t it?”
Puro seemed to sense Rhodes’ disappointment, and the pair of small horns on his head slowly drooped down, and the tongue that was sticking out was also retracted, looking pitiful like an abandoned puppy.
Rhode scratched its chin: “Just keep it as a pet.”
”Hurulu~” Poro rubbed Rhode’s palm, making a comfortable sound, and a pair of small horns stood up again.
Rhode pinched Poro’s small horns, touched Poro’s head, and rubbed Poro’s heart-shaped belly, and gradually liked this furry and soft touch.
Porro seemed to enjoy it too, lying on the counter with his tongue tilted to one side.
”It looks like a lamb, but its personality is more like a puppy.” Mira picked up a piece of chopped apple, “Do you want to eat it?”
Porro turned over and left Rhode’s massage service, and went straight to Mira’s feeding, with an agility beyond imagination.
Does this thing have a setting that recognizes food but not people? Rhode fell into deep thought.
Makarov coughed lightly to attract Rhode’s attention and said to him: “Regardless of the strength of Poro, when you opened the door just now, did you feel a force draining from your body? That is the magic power.”
Rhode thought for a moment: “If that’s the case, it seems that there is…”
“Generally speaking, after opening the door, the Star Spirit Wizard also needs to consume magic power to maintain the existence of the Star Spirit. I guess you are the same.”
Makarov said, “Now meditate according to the method I said, feel the slowly draining magic power, find its source, and then see your own power clearly.”
“Yes!”
Rhode sat down on the spot, closed his eyes according to the president’s instructions, and concentrated on feeling the slowly draining power in his body.
The noise in the tavern gradually disappeared, the sound of Poro and Mira playing gradually faded away, and the world became quiet.
Rhode saw himself sitting cross-legged in the darkness, with a tiny blue light spot like mist.
Outside of his body, there was a thin line of faint blue light spots, floating to the side of his body. That should be the connection with Poro.
And the focus of Rhode’s observation was on his body. Among the blue magic light spots like mist, there was a conspicuous small vortex, slowly rotating in the center of his body, like a miniature Milky Way.
It seemed that all the magic in the body was dissipating from there, and at the same time, there were sparse light spots that penetrated from the outside of the body and gathered in the vortex.
Magic power was being consumed and recovered at the same time.
Rhode felt this easily.
He could even feel the speed of magic power consumption to maintain the existence of Poro and the comparison with the speed of magic power recovery.
To express it in a common way in online games:
MP-1 MP+99 The part exceeding consumption will probably be used to replenish the part of magic power consumed when opening the door.
After realizing that Poro’s magic power consumption was so low, Rhodes completely lost hope in its combat effectiveness.
Putting Poro’s matter aside, Rhodes focused on observing “himself” and tried to direct the light spots in his body.
Although a little awkward, he could indeed simply control the direction of the flow of those light spots, that is, the magic power.
In the real world, as Rhodes mobilized his magic power, his hair was likeIt swayed gently like being blown by the wind, left and right.
Today’s tavern was much quieter than usual because the president was watching.
When someone was about to fight and might affect Rhode, the president would slap that person on the head. When Rhode opened his eyes, Makarov smiled with satisfaction. This child has good talent.
”Let’s stop here for today’s magic training. You should care about Poro.”
Makarov reminded, “Astral wizards usually have to sign a contract with the Astral and maintain a good relationship. For you, you have to figure it out on your own.”
”Okay, thank you, president.” Rhode stood up and looked at Mira, but found that Poro was no longer with her.
”There.” Mira smiled and pointed at the little guy who was having fun in the tavern.
Rhode looked in the direction of her finger, and then found that… his social skills were not as good as a dog.
He had just been meditating for less than an hour, and Poro had already become familiar with many people in the tavern.
It stuck out its tongue and kept shuttling between the tables, rubbing people’s calves with its furry body from time to time.
When it was picked up by someone who liked cute things, it would act like a spoiled child, staring at the food on the table with its big eyes.
It was almost like writing the words “please feed” on its face.
The most amazing thing was that after tricking the food, the little guy would immediately run away and head straight for the next target, showing his ruthlessness.
In a very short time, everyone in the tavern remembered this cute thing, but only a few people remembered the name of its owner after Mira and Laqi introduced it.
Rod waved his hand.
Poro ran over with his short legs, but accidentally fell and rolled to Rod’s feet like a ball of yarn.
This guy simply didn’t get up, and just lay down and turned over to expose his belly, becoming more and more skilled in his business.
Rod couldn’t help but rub its heart-shaped belly again, and then carried the Poro to the counter: “Can you understand me?”
”Woo woo woo~” The Poro tried to nod.
Rod asked: “Do we need to sign a contract or something?”
The Poro shook his head hard and almost shook himself down.
”If you go back, will I still summon you next time? I remember there are many Poros in the Howling Abyss?”
The little Poro nodded, shook his head again, and showed a pleading look on his face.
Rod guessed: “It will be you, but you don’t want to go back?”
The Poro showed a happy expression.
Rod looked at the president in embarrassment.
Makarov said: “If the magic allows, and both sides have no objection, you can stay as long as you want.”
”However, if it affects your opening of the next door, then send it back.”
Rod nodded: “Since you like it here, stay for now.”
The little Poro was so happy that he turned around.
Mira suggested: “Should we give it a name?”
Rod said: “It’s called Poro.”
”But Poro is a general term, right? Just like dogs and cats, I mean its own name.”
The Poro looked at Rod expectantly.
”Well… I have difficulty naming…” Rod looked at the Poro and thought for a while, “Call it Xiaobai? Dumpling? Maoqiu?”
The Poro’s little horn gradually drooped, and it always felt perfunctory.
Rod was in a dilemma: “President, Mira, do you have any suggestions?”
”How about calling it Worm?”
