"I need an explanation!" Dai'er controlled the idea of ​​throwing away the magic in her hand, and asked the money-greedy goblin: "Is this the guest you are talking about? This is obviously a mouse!"

The money-greedy goblin felt aggrieved, so it flew over the iteration of the shadow parasite element, condensed a large water ball in its hand, and magnified the mouse.

"Master, from the appearance, this is indeed a mouse. 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.

Therefore, I judged that it is an intelligent creature, but it looks a bit like a mouse. After all, there are too many extraordinary species with intelligence in the world, and it is impossible for me to know them all.

It told me... it is your friend, and I can only arrange a place for it to rest and give it a few toasted waffles."

The money-greedy goblin's explanation is reasonable.

Dai'er had no choice but to take a deep breath and retract the magic that had been gathered. Looking at the food on the table, she completely lost her appetite.

She pointed the knife at the iteration of the shadow parasitic element and threatened: "Hey... we are already cleared. I told you on the boat, don't follow me. You are free, you can go wherever you want."

."

The shadow parasitic iteration said: "I am free, but I find that the outside world is more dangerous than in the Paranormal Species Research Institute. I have to avoid snakes, cats, weasels... anything that likes to feed on rodents.

Someone else, I almost got caught in a mousetrap just now.

And this host has caused me to lose most of my strength, and its poor mental power can only maintain my existence. Your merciful highness, I ask for your protection."

The mouse stood upright like a human and bent down to salute Del.

The pitiful look is actually kind of cute.

"Poor little thing..." The words of the shadow parasite iteration resonated in Dai'er's heart: "The outside world is not as beautiful as we imagined. Many people want to kill me or use me.

But I like living like this very much, full of uncertainty. I don’t know if I will have to run for my life when I open my eyes tomorrow.

Following me will not make you safer. Leave here, find a secret place to make a nest, and then give birth to a bunch of mouse babies..."

Having said this, Dai'er and the shadow parasite iteration looked at each other, and then shuddered at the same time.

"terrible!"

"terrible!"

The shadow parasitic elemental iteration 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 dawn 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 your master."

The shadow parasitic elemental iteration knelt on one knee in front of Dai'er, as piously as if he were paying homage to the knight to whom he was loyal.

Dai'er is a kind-hearted person, and the iteration of the shadow parasitic element has not done anything evil, but her current appearance is a bit unpleasant. But after watching it for a long time, with her big ears and bean-like eyes, you can still find some interesting things.

local.

Moreover, the current shadow parasitic element is indeed too weak, and Malcolm must be looking for it everywhere. Letting it go will really mean letting it die.

"Okay!" Dai'er made a decision. She put the knife on the shoulder of the shadow parasite iteration: "I... Dai'er Augustine, as the royal princess of the Golden Shield Empire, give 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 satisfy your hunger: you offer me your loyalty and use your sword to defend my will to exist in this world until the end of your spirit."

The iteration of the shadow parasite named Dark Night recited the oath of allegiance. A spiritual black hole unique to the shadow parasite opened above its head, and a halo like a jellyfish flew out from it, fluttering to

Dai'er's eyebrows were pressed together.

The spiritual contract is concluded.

Dai'er took back the knife and said to Dark Night: "Okay... Dark Night Knight, we have all left the place we hate, and we will face the unknown future together. I have a hunch that our future will be colorful.

In the bard, there will be stories about the adventures of Princess Del and her knights."

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

"Of course, with the name given by the princess of the empire and the allegiance ceremony performed personally, you are now a knight." Dai'er turned to the money-grubbing elf on the side and said: "Make some clothes for our dark night knight. You must have a dress.

, casual clothes, armor...yes, and a sword."

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

The money-grubbing elf replied: "Yes, master, but making clothes for the Dark Knight requires additional payment."

A gold coin bounced into the air, and the money-greedy elf flew over and hugged it: "Don't worry, Master! Tomorrow morning, the Dark Knight can wear it...her new clothes."

…

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

A big stone fell in Malcolm's heart. There was no trap for him in the contract, and the conditions were so favorable that it seemed like he was the investor. He couldn't figure out how Luke could offer him such a contract even if he thought about it.

.

It’s like I have so much money that I don’t know how to spend it.

Anyway, now that the money is in hand, it doesn't matter whether Luke has other purposes or not.

At the dinner after the signing of the contract, Malcolm frequently toasted to Luke, and his words could not help but be a bit drunk: "Although I haven't been to Raging City many times, I know that the businessmen in Raging City are truly wealthy.

.One ship goes out and one ship comes back, which is countless wealth.

Mr. Luke, let me tell you...investing in my institute will definitely be the most successful investment you have ever made.

The people at the Empire's Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center are just pig brains. I just pointed out their mistakes, and they kicked me out of the research center angrily. Without me, let's see what they can do.

Results of results?”

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

"Mr. Malcolm, you must be wondering why I gave you such a favorable contract, with a one-time investment of 50 million Reichsmarks. There are no outsiders here, and I will make it clear to you that I just took a fancy to your reputation and your strength.

In my eyes, the name Malcolm is worth 50 million. I believe that this investment will definitely bring me huge returns. Let me prove in front of Jasmine’s father that I am not inferior to Viscount Yin Kelan.

He was just a lucky guy, born with noble blood, and happened to be on the right team during the changes in the city."

"Yes!" Luke's words aroused Malcolm's emotion. He picked up the glass and drank heavily, and then said: "This empire values ​​bloodline more than anything else. Even if it is a test subject, the bloodline of the test subject must be respected.

, conduct experiments consistent with its bloodline identity.

Yes, that thing is noble, even more noble than the royal bloodline. In any new experimental plan, it is ridiculous to discuss whether the bloodline is respected first!"

Luke knew that Malcolm was talking about the shadow parasite element.

As one of the five major civilizations in ancient times, the Shadow Civilization has the strictest lineage concept. When a new shadow parasite is generated, all subsidiary races attached to the Shadow Civilization must send their strongest royal members to participate in the selection of the host.

Once a shadow parasite is selected as a host to become a shadow clan, all blood relatives of the host must sacrifice themselves in the ceremony to ensure that the bloodline is unique.

In short, the Shadow Clan is very paranoid about blood.

The shadow parasitic element obtained by the Golden Shield Empire was directly kicked out of the family tree by the shadow clan because it was incomplete, and they no longer recognized this relative.

However, the incomplete Shadow Parasite still maintains its preference for noble blood, and the iterations produced by separation also show a strong lineage theory. Even if it cannot have the luxury of parasitizing the souls of the royal family and royal family members, it must be a person with a family background.

Famous person.

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

Therefore, if the Empire's Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center wants to allow the Shadow Parasite and iterations to cooperate in experiments, the issue of bloodline must be discussed clearly first. Of course, the Empire itself also attaches great importance to bloodline. That person, Malcolm, used the Shadow Parasite as a guinea pig.

The research plan received no support at all.

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

After discovering that Dai'er is a princess, the thing forced to parasitize itself regardless of its own demise. You can see how narcissistic and vain the shadow parasite element is. But the thing ended up parasitizing the soul of a mouse, and even more

This shows that the shadow parasitic element is also very realistic even if conditions do not allow it.

After a glass of wine, Luke held Malcolm's hand intimately and whispered: "This era belongs to you and to me. The noble bloodline will eventually be broken by people like us.

We will create a new era that transcends ancient civilizations.

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

By making extraordinary pets well and making money in Raging Wave City, I can gain more power and control over funds from Jasmine’s father. I want to increase my investment in the cultivation of extraordinary species. I want to become stronger.

I want every cell in me to be an extraordinary being.

As long as you can fulfill my wish, 500 million, 5 billion, 50 billion... I will invest as much as you need for your research."

"Really?" What Malcolm lacked was money. A Pegasus costs 20 million Reichsmarks. You can imagine the price of more powerful extraordinary creatures. If you want to control extraordinary creatures, you need equipment and personnel.

A huge expense. It was difficult to carry out the research topic he wanted by picking up garbage and buying corpses.

"Of course it's true! What can a rich man like me pursue? A longer life, a stronger body... It's best to become a god.

I just said that this is a great era, and the explosion of technology has made all the impossible possible. As long as you can fulfill my wishes, money... is nothing?"

Malcolm nodded with approval and said quietly: "As far as I know, our Emperor is also very concerned about life-extending technology. He has placed his hope in the Empire's Extraordinary Species Cultivation Center, hoping that extraordinary regeneration technology can

He regains his youth.

I have a failed experimental body here. If I have enough money, I can also buy some related technologies through connections... Believe me, invest in me, and whatever your Majesty can have, you can also have."

"Of course I believe you." Luke smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Malcolm: "You first help me gain the trust of my father-in-law."

"No problem, I will do nothing during this period, I will only cultivate extraordinary pets." At this time, Malcolm looked at Alice who was waiting on the other side: "People can also cultivate pets, do you need my help?"

"No, no need. Jasmine's love for me is the foundation of the future. Don't make her unhappy, and don't let her be in danger in the Lower City."
