Age of Mysticism

"I need an explanation!" Dai'er controlled the thought of throwing out the magic in her hand, and asked the greedy goblin: "This is the guest you mentioned? This is obviously a mouse!"

The money-greedy goblin was very wronged, it flew over the shadow parasitic meta-iterative body, and condensed a large water ball in its hand to magnify the mouse.

"Master, this is indeed a mouse from the outside, and I thought so when I first found it. It is my job to eliminate the mice in the room, but when I was about to kill it, it spoke... …

Rats can't talk.

So I judge that it is a creature with intelligence, but it looks a little like a mouse. After all, there are too many extraordinary species with intelligence in the world, and it is impossible for me to know all of them.

He told me...he was your friend and I had to find a place for him to rest and gave him some muffins to bake. "

The greedy goblin's explanation makes sense.

Dai'er had no choice but to take a deep breath and withdraw the magic that had been gathered. Looking at the food on the table again, I have no appetite at all.

She pointed at the shadow parasite iterative body with a table knife, and said threateningly: "Hey... we have already settled. I said on the boat, don't follow me. You are free, and you can go wherever you want .”

The shadow parasitic meta-iterator said: "I am free, but I find the outside world more dangerous than at the Institute of Extraordinary Species. I have to avoid snakes, cats, weasels... all things that like to feed on rodents.

And people, I almost got caught in a mousetrap just now.

And this host made me lose most of my strength, and its poor mental power can only maintain my existence. Merciful Highness, I ask for your protection. "

The Mouse stood upright like a man, and bowed to Dill in salute.

The pitiful look is actually kind of cute.

"Poor little thing..." The words of the shadow parasitic meta-iterator resonated in Dai'er's heart: "The outside world is not as beautiful as we imagined, and many people want to kill me or use me.

But I really like this kind of life, full of uncertainty, I don’t know if I will run for my life when I open my eyes tomorrow.

Following me will not make you any safer. Get out of here, find a hidden place to set up a nest, and give birth to a bunch of rat cubs..."

Speaking of this, Dai'er met the eyes of the shadow parasitic element iterative body, and then shuddered at the same time.

"terrible!"

"terrible!"

The iteration of the shadow parasitic element continued to plead: "Your Highness! You don't know what I have experienced this day. It is night outside now, and I will never survive the daylight if I leave here.

Your Highness, I felt your pure spiritual world when we first met... I am willing to sign a spiritual servant contract with you and serve you as master. "

The iteration of the shadow parasite knelt on one knee in front of Dai'er, as piously as if he was paying homage to a knight who was loyal to the monarch.

Dai'er is a kind-hearted person, and the shadow parasitic element iteration has never done evil things, but the current appearance is a bit unpleasant. But after looking at it for a long time, the big ears and bean-like eyes can still find some interesting places.

And the current shadow parasite is indeed too weak, and Malcon must be looking for it everywhere, letting it go is really letting it die.

"Okay!" Dai'er made a decision, she put the knife on the shoulder of the shadow parasitic meta-iteration body: "I...Dai'er Augustine, as the royal princess of the Golden Shield Empire, I bestow on you the name Dark Night. From now on , I give you the honor of a glorious family, a house to live in, and food to eat: you offer me your loyalty, and with your sword defend my will to exist in this world until your spirit dies."

The iteration of the shadow parasite named Dark Night repeated the oath of allegiance, and a spiritual black hole unique to the shadow parasite opened above its head, and a halo like a jellyfish flew out from it, flying erratically to Dai'er's eyebrows were imprinted.

The spiritual contract is concluded.

Dai'er took back the knife and said to An Ye: "Okay... Dark Knight, we have all left the place we hate, and we will face the unknown future together. I have a hunch that our future must be colorful. In the bard, there will be stories of Princess Del and her knights going on adventures together."

An Ye stood up blankly: "I, am I a knight now?"

"Of course, you are now a knight after being named by the princess of the empire and performing the allegiance ceremony yourself." Daier turned to the greedy elf and said, "Make some clothes for our night knight. There must be a dress , casual clothes, armor... yes, and a sword."

An Ye immediately said: "Make a few more swords for me."

The greedy elf replied: "Yes, master, but you need to pay extra for making clothes for the night knight."

A gold coin flew into the air, and the greedy elf flew over and hugged it: "Don't worry, master! Tomorrow morning, the night knight can wear it... her new clothes."

...

In the Malcon Institute of Extraordinary Species, the investment contract was signed very smoothly, and the first investment of 10 million Reichsmarks was handed over to Malcon by Luke.

The big stone in Malken's heart fell to the ground. There are no traps against him in the contract, and the conditions are so generous that it seems that he is the investor. He couldn't even figure out how Luke would offer himself such a contract.

It's like having so much money that you don't know how to spend it.

With the money in hand anyway, it doesn't matter whether Luke has other goals or not.

At the dinner party after the signing of the contract, Malcolm toasted Luke frequently, and he couldn't help being a little drunk in his words: "Although I haven't been to Raging City many times, I know that the merchants in Raging City are really rich. .One ship goes out and one ship comes back, which is innumerable wealth.

Mr. Luke, let me tell you... Investing in my research institute is definitely the most successful investment you have ever made.

The group of people in the Empire's Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center are simply pig-headed. I just pointed out their mistake a little, and they kicked me out of the research center in a huff. Without me, let's see if they have any achievements that can be counted as achievements? "

Luke used the gluttonous fire to burn the alcohol in his body, but on the surface he pretended to be intoxicated.

"Mr. Malkin, you must be wondering why I gave you such a generous contract. One investment is 50 million Reichsmarks. There are no outsiders here, so I will tell you clearly that I have taken a fancy to your reputation and your strength.

In my eyes, the name of Malcon is worth 50 million, and I believe that this investment will definitely bring me rich returns. Let me prove in front of Jasmine's father that I am not inferior to Viscount Iscoran.

He was just a lucky guy, born with noble blood, and happened to be on the right team in that city's upheaval. "

"Yeah!" Luke's words aroused Malken's emotion. He raised his glass and drank heavily, and then said: "This empire values ​​bloodlines more than anything else. Even if it is an experimental subject, the bloodline of the experimental subject must be respected." , to do experiments in line with its bloodline identity.

Yes, that thing is noble, nobler than TM royal blood. For any new experimental plan, it is ridiculous to discuss whether bloodlines are respected first! "

Luke knew that Malkan was talking about shadow parasites.

As one of the five ancient civilizations, the Shadow Civilization has the strictest lineage view. When a new shadow parasite is created, all affiliated races attached to the shadow civilization must send the strongest members of the royal family to participate in the selection of the host.

Once selected by the shadow parasite as a host to become a shadow clan, all blood relatives of the host must be martyred in the ceremony to ensure the uniqueness of this bloodline.

In short, the Shadow Clan has a strong paranoia about bloodlines.

The shadow parasite obtained by the Golden Shield Empire was directly kicked out of the family tree by the Shadow Clan because of its incompleteness, and this relative was no longer recognized.

However, the incomplete shadow parasites still maintain a preference for noble blood, and the iterative bodies that have been separated and bred also show a strong blood-only theory. Even if you can't live in the souls of the royal family and members of the royal family, you must be a person with a famous family background.

If the origin of the host is not in line with the wishes of the shadow parasitic iteration, there is a high probability that it will die suddenly.

Therefore, if the Imperial Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center wants to make the shadow parasite and iterative body cooperate with the experiment, it must first discuss the issue of bloodlines clearly. Of course, the empire itself also attaches great importance to bloodlines, and Malkan's research plan of using the shadow parasite as a guinea pig is not supported at all.

Luke couldn't help but think of Del and the shadow parasitic meta-iteration she encountered.

After discovering that Dai'er is a princess, that thing will forcibly parasitize it regardless of its own demise, and you can see how narcissistic and vain the shadow parasite is. But that thing was parasitic in the soul of a mouse in the end, which shows that the shadow parasite is also very realistic when conditions do not allow it.

After drinking a glass of wine, Luke took Malken's hand intimately, and whispered: "This era belongs to you, and it also belongs to me, and the noble blood will eventually be smashed by people like us.

We will create a new era beyond ancient civilizations.

I drank too much today, let me tell you one more thing.

If I make extraordinary pets well, I will be able to gain more power and financial control from Jasmine Xiang's father if I earn money in Raging Waves City. I want to increase investment in the cultivation of extraordinary species, I want to become stronger, and I want every cell of me to be an extraordinary existence.

As long as you can fulfill my wish for me, 500 million, 5 billion, 50 billion... how much money your research needs, I will give you how much money. "

"Really?" What Malken lacked was money. A Pegasus cost 20 million Reichsmarks. One could imagine the price of a more powerful extraordinary creature. To control extraordinary creatures, the equipment and personnel required are a huge expense. It is difficult to carry out the research topics he wants by picking up garbage to buy corpses.

"Of course it's true! A rich man like me, what can I pursue. Longer life, stronger body...it's better to become a god.

As I just said, this is a great era, and the explosion of technology has made all the impossible possible. As long as you can fulfill my wish, money... what is it? "

Malken nodded approvingly, and he said quietly: "As far as I know, our emperor is also very concerned about the technology of prolonging life. He pinned his hopes on the Imperial Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center, hoping that the extraordinary regeneration technology can make He regains his youth.

I have a failed experiment here. If the money is enough, I can also buy some related technologies through my relationship... Believe me, invest in me, what His Majesty can have, you can also have. "

"Of course I believe you." Luke smiled and raised his glass to touch Malken: "You first help me gain the trust of my father-in-law."

"No problem, I'm not doing anything during this time, only cultivating extraordinary pets." At this moment, Malken looked at Alice who was waiting on the other side: "People can also breed pets, do you need my help?"

"No, there is no need. Jasmine's love for me is the foundation of the future. Don't make her unhappy, and don't let her encounter danger in the lower city."

Facing Luke's warning, Malken finally regained consciousness. He reminded: "Your investment in me has already aroused the covetousness of many people. I can help you block it until tomorrow. Tomorrow you have to come up with a capable A strategy to keep them safe, otherwise our cooperation can only be terminated on super pets.

It's not that I don't help you. Facing the group of people in the sewage reservoir, I am just a newcomer. If you have nothing good to do, I can help you and your wife get back uptown tonight. "

Luke patted Malken on the shoulder: "Thank you for your concern. An extraordinary pet project is not all I came to the downtown area. In my eyes, there are undiscovered wealth everywhere. You are guarding a treasure, and I... help you dig out the treasure."

Malcolm couldn't see that apart from his own Extraordinary Species Research Institute, there was nothing else in the lower city that could bring Luke wealth.

"Okay. I don't understand how you businessmen find your fortune. I will arrange for someone to protect your residence, run to the drain in case of emergency, and I will do my best to protect you.

Also, don't trust Alice. She can be betrayed by anyone for money. "

Luke said with a smile: "In the lower city, who can be richer than me? Don't worry, I need Alice's eyes and ears, and I know how to control her.

Let's stop here for today... Get the extraordinary pet I want as soon as possible, so we can make the next investment.

goodbye. "

Malcolm shook hands with Luke: "Goodbye!"

This time Malcolm sent the Black Panther Monis to personally lead the team to escort Luke back. Luke in the car rested his head on Alice's shoulder.

Alice held a hand-held fan to blow the wind for Luke: "Mr. Luke, what did you and Mr. Malcolm talk about, I think you are very happy."

Quick Legs reminded in front: "Miss Alice, please respect your responsibilities. It is not what you and I should do to inquire about commercial secrets."

"I'm sorry!" Alice immediately apologized: "I'm not used to my current status."

At this time, Luke dreamed: "I have an investment of 500 million Reichsmarks in my hand, and I want to spend all of it in the lower city. They said I won't get anything, but I will prove them all wrong!"
