The Ancient Beast Tamer Bloodline

Chapter 12: Voracious Appetite



Just after Samuel and the rest of the youths sat around the table, with the city Lord occupying the seat at the head of the table, with several high-ranking officials sitting on either side closer to the city Lord, the food was finally served.

Several servants immediately began serving food, according to the wishes of the people around them. Of course, they started with the city Lord, then to the high level officials, and finally to the youths.

At this point, it was clear to everyone that the city Lord was not trying to favor anyone just because of the talent that they possessed. But they understood that this was not going to be the case for the next part.

Samuel on the other hand did not focus on the things or the people around him. Instead, he simply looked at the food that had been placed in front of him.

It was a dish that comprised of meat and vegetables. The aroma that was coming from the food in front of him was attractive, immediately arousing Samuel's appetite.

Without much thought, he used the fork and took a piece of meat from the plate. He placed it into his mouth, then began chewing.

It was just that the moment that the meat entered into his mouth, Samuel felt that something had happened. It felt that there was a sudden change within his body, but he could not tell what exactly it was.

On the other hand, Samuel appreciated the taste of the meat, as he went ahead and picked yet another piece of meat from the plate and ate it. He went ahead and tried the vegetables as well, and realized that they were all exquisitely prepared.

And just as the city Lord had said, it was clear that the ingredients that had been used in order to prepare the meal were of high quality.

Samuel had never eaten meat from a monster before. After all, ordinary people could not handle the meat from a monster. Otherwise, they would be affected if they ingested it.

Only beast tamers were capable of taking the meat without being affected. In fact, they would gain benefits from taking monster meat, which was the exact reason why it was expensive, other than the reason that it was quite risky to hunt monsters.

As Samuel and the others continued eating, Samuel noticed something. It was the fact that although he had already eaten quite an amount of food until then, he did not feel like he was getting satiated at all.

In fact, the more he ate, the hungrier he got. That was something that did not make any sense to him. After all, this was not the first time that he had eaten, and all the previous times, after he ate a certain amount of food, he would be satiated.

But this time, the amount of food that he had already eaten was three times the amount that he had ever eaten the most. But regardless of that, he still felt that he was hungry, and needed to eat more.

Samuel could not help but think that there was a possibility that after he had become a beast tamer, his appetite had increased. Well, that was the truth, but when Samuel observed the people around him, he realized that right now, some people were actually forcing themselves to eat.

It was clear that they had already eaten what they could, but right now, due to the benefits that came with eating the monster meat and the other high level ingredients, they did not want to quit.

After all, they understood that it was not going to be that easy for them to be able to get such a meal again. That was especially so for that group of beast tamers that were going to be completely ordinary just like the other beast timers within the city.

After thinking for a while, Samuel gave up. He thought, there was no reason for him to think too much about this situation, considering that he was not going to understand anything anyway.

And since his body was currently demanding for a lot of food, then he was going to eat it. So, while others had already began eating slowly, Samuel on the other hand suddenly increased his speed.

At first, nobody really paid attention. But as Samuel's speed seemed to increase, some people were immediately attracted. And when they saw how Samuel was eating, they could not help but be completely shocked.

Just what kind of appetite did this youngster possess? From the way that he was eating, it was as if he was currently a starved beast.

The other youths also began looking at Samuel with widened eyes. Some of them thought that maybe Samuel understood that it was going to be almost impossible for them to get such kind of meals, and that was the reason why he was eating that way.

The moment that they thought of that, they also began stuffing themselves with food. Even though they felt that they could not take anymore, they just tried, until one of them puked from eating too much.

It was only after that person was taught a lesson by his body that the others that had been imitating Samuel all stopped. But they noticed that Samuel was still eating at the same pace as before, his speed showing no signs of decreasing at all.

Even the city Lord was currently observing Samuel, wondering what was happening with this youth. Even for himself, with his current power level, he believed that it would not be possible for him to be able to eat so much food.

But of course, that was not something that he was that much concerned about. Instead, he was concerned about the amount of energy that was getting accumulated in Samuel's body.

Considering that the ingredients that were used in the preparation of the meal here were all of high quality that could only be found in areas where monsters were, together with monsters meat, it was clear that they possessed a high amount of energy.

A single piece of meat obviously did not possess that high amount of energy, but as long as it was accumulated, the energy would be significant, allowing people to be able to increase their strength.

But if the energy was taken by a huge amount, then there was a possibility that after it had accumulated to the maximum extent within a person's body, that person's body would explode.

That was not only the city Lord's concern, but the other people around were also concerned. One of them wanted to talk to Samuel, telling him not to eat too much, but the city Lord waved at him, stopping him.

The City Lord had noticed that while it was true that Samuel was eating rapidly, and the amount of food that he was consuming was also high, his expression was still the same. It was as if he was still hungry.

He could not help but think to himself, could it be possible that the reason why this youth was in such a situation simply because of the golden light that had been produced during his awakening?

As many questions swirled around the City Lord's mind, he decided to continue observing. And if he noticed that there was something amiss, he would immediately intervene and try to stabilize Samuel's energy, to prevent him from exploding.

Samuel on the other hand continued eating, and only stopped eating when he realized that there was no more food for him to eat. At some point in time, the servants around had all come over, and had been bringing more food to Samuel.

Once a plate was cleared of its contents, another one would replace it, and the empty plate would be taken away. And right now, Samuel had cleared out all the food that had been prepared, other than the ones that had already been eaten by the others.

At this moment, Samuel felt that there was quite a huge amount of energy that was within his body. It was just that there was something strange. The golden light that was within his body had enveloped this energy, and the energy was not doing anything within his body.

Samuel understood that it seemed that the golden light was restricting the energy from exploding, implying that he could not advance in his strength.

Instinctively, Samuel felt that he could actually refine that energy. And the moment that he began thinking of that, a small amount of energy was actually released by the golden light, and Samuel felt that his strength had increased slightly.

Immediately after noticing that, Samuel stopped thinking about refining the energy, and no more energy was released by the golden light. This was definitely not the time and place for him to refine the energy.

And as he looked up, Samuel noticed that everyone around was staring at him. Of course, Samuel understood the reason why that was the case, but he really did not know what to say about the situation. Everything just felt instinctive.

"It seems that some of us have quite some talent. Anyway, it is time for the next occasion. I have already prepared gifts for each and every one of you." The city Lord said with a small chuckle.

At the same time as he said those words, he clapped his hands, and several servants came in. In their hands were trays that were currently covered with exquisite clothing.
