Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 901 Eagle
They set off as soon as they said they would, and soon arrived at the breeding room in the palace.

Even standing outside the door, Locke was already uncontrollably excited.

Zhou Xu didn't waste any time and directly signaled the breeder to open the door.

The door of this breeding room is usually locked, and there are two doors inside and outside. This is mainly to prevent the young birds that have not received training from flying out and never coming back.

After all, unlike when the cage was bare at the beginning, after being raised for a period of time, the eyes of the chicks have opened and the down feathers have fully grown.

Although they do not have normal flying ability at this stage and can only flap their wings twice at most, they already have the basic conditions to run away from home.

There are only four giant eagle chicks at this stage, and they dare not take the risk.

Passing through the two doors of the breeding room, Zhou Xu soon saw the four baby birds, which were now able to stand on the bird stand and play.

At the same time, it also reveals some of the posture of a young eagle, but it looks a little sloppy.

"Is this the giant eagle's young bird?"

Locke looked at them excitedly.

Faced with this strange stranger, the four eaglets in the breeding room quickly flapped their wings and ran away. The giant eagles, still in the eaglet stage, did not have the mighty and domineering aura of adults at all and were extremely cowardly.

But it's normal if you think about it. The four eaglets are only as big as a palm. In the eyes of the eaglets, each of them is a huge monster, so it's normal for them to feel scared.

But this made Locke very worried.

"Your Majesty, can you let me check this carefully?"

Locke doesn't have the 'Eye of Secrets' and cannot see the panels of the four eagle chicks, but the wood elves naturally have a special set of identification methods.

But the four eaglets were jumping up and down at the moment, making it impossible for him to take a close look at them.

In response, Zhou Xu waved his hand and signaled the breeder to catch a young eagle.

These four eaglets have been taken care of by the keepers since the day they hatched. They were relatively close to the keepers and were quickly caught.

After taking the young eagle, Locke looked at it carefully and compared it one by one with the records in the ancient scroll.

"That's right, that's right! This is the Giant Eagle! All the features match!"

As for the giant eagle, Locke had never seen it with his own eyes.

He only learned from the stories told by his elders that when his grandfather was a child, the tribe still raised giant eagles. Later, it seemed that something unexpected happened and all the giant eagles flew away and disappeared.

By Locke's generation, apart from hearing about the giant eagle and the giant eagle knight from their elders, they could only learn a little bit about it from the ancient scrolls handed down by the clan.

At this moment, looking at the young eagle in his hand, Locke's eyes were full of eagerness.

But Locke was not stupid. He quickly remembered that these four eaglets now belonged to Zhou Xu.

With this thought, Locke's eyes quickly fell on Zhou Xu, and after a slight hesitation, he slowly spoke...

"I wonder how Your Majesty plans to arrange these four young eagles?"

"Of course we should prepare to breed them well, and then let them breed more giant eagles. In the future, we may even be able to form a giant eagle knight troop."

What Zhou Xu said at this moment was indeed his true thoughts.

To put it simply, the four young eagles are four flying units.

Instead of sending them to the battlefield, it is better to keep them for breeding and expand the population in the future. By then, the value of an entire Giant Eagle Knight force will be far more valuable than that of four Giant Eagle Knights.

Zhou Xu's idea was not wrong, but it made Locke feel even more embarrassed. Obviously, according to Locke's idea, he wanted to bring these four young eagles back to the village for breeding.

But he was not a fool. He could tell from what Zhou Xu had just said that the other party had no intention of giving him the four eaglets.

If Zhou Xu couldn't see Locke's thoughts, then he must be blind.

In fact, he had thought of this possibility as early as when he asked John to go to Locke to ask about this matter.

But so what? The four young eagles were in his hands now, and given the current situation of the wood elves, how could they possibly quarrel with him over these four young eagles?
"You have seen it, Chief. I wonder if you are willing to lend me a hand and teach me how to raise and train this giant eagle?"

Having said that, Zhou Xu quickly added another sentence.

"Of course, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. In exchange, I will give you a generous reward."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he held up three fingers.

"Thirty thousand silver coins, how about that?"

This is just a set of methods after all. To put it bluntly, the future breeding and training of giant eagles still requires them to pay for it and provide manpower themselves. The price is definitely not comparable to that of existing mines.

Thirty thousand silver coins could already be considered a sky-high price.

At the same time, considering that the deposits in the Wood Elf Village should have basically reached the bottom at this stage, this deal should be quite tempting for Locke.

Thirty thousand silver coins were enough for them to continue living in the village in their old age.

Locke had to admit that he was tempted, but as the patriarch, compared to 30,000 silver coins, he still valued these four young eagles, or the heritage of their wood elves, more!

"I cannot accept these thirty thousand silver coins. Your Majesty, please set a condition so that I can bring these four young eagles back to the village."

Needless to say, Locke now chose to confront him shamelessly.

But Zhou Xu really didn't buy it.

"I really don't have any conditions I want to open up at the moment."

Zhou Xu's words were relatively tactful.

To put it bluntly, after the younger generation of the Wood Elves became official citizens of their Great Zhou, there was basically nothing left for him to worry about from the Wood Elves.

Even if there is, it is not worth exchanging his future air force for it.

Locke was not stupid, so he naturally understood the meaning of his words. For a moment, his expression became uncertain.

Zhou Xu saw this and spoke again after thinking about it...

"Chief, there's actually no need to worry so much. John and his companions are now official citizens of our Great Zhou. Our Great Zhou has bred and trained this giant eagle, and in the future, won't it be handed over to you wood elves to ride on it?"

Zhou Xu's words made Locke's expression look a little better.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case.

The main reason was that he also realized that it was no longer possible to take four young eagles away from the Majesty in front of him.

Under this premise, he certainly doesn't want to have a bad relationship with Da Zhou.

If this giant eagle is bred and trained and then handed over to the wood elf knights to ride, he would not object to it.

Even from this perspective, if the Great Zhou successfully domesticated the giant eagle and formed a giant eagle knight force in the future, then as an important part of the giant eagle knights, the status of the wood elves in the Great Zhou would also rise...
