The sky was bright, and the light of the early sun shone into the room through the window, falling on the bedside of the young man who was still asleep in the room, and the gradually rising heating began to slowly dispel the shade accumulated in the room last night, and also made the young man sleep more comfortably.

It wasn't until the clock on the wall had reached its set time and made a crisp jingle that the young man reluctantly woke up from his sleep, frowned, and opened his eyelids.

"Hmm...... Is it morning?" After glancing at the time displayed by the wall clock on the wall, Wayne lifted the sheet and stepped out of the bed, wrinkling the corners of his eyes and muttering to himself.

Rarely, he found that his spirit this morning was significantly better than usual, and it seemed that he had refreshed himself because he had a good night's sleep last night.

"Speaking of which, I ...... last night" Thinking of his sleep state that was different from usual, Wayne remembered the strange 'dream' of last night.

It's not like he hasn't dreamed in his sleep before, but any time in the past has not been as clear as last night's 'dream', it doesn't feel like a dream at all, but really enters a dream world that is different from reality, Wayne finds that every bit he has experienced in it is clearly remembered by himself, and there is no false ambiguity at all.

"Dreams, to be honest, I really wish that wonderful world could be swapped with my 'reality'......"

Because he remembers it very clearly, now that Wayne has come to his senses and found himself back in this cheap apartment, and has changed back into the poor sour boy who has to struggle for the needs of life, he has a serious sense of disparity in his psyche.

After all, the difference between the two sides is too obvious.

He was now nostalgic for that wonderful dream world.

But reality still forced Wayne to face up to his situation, and looking at the cheap apartment he was in, he remembered the troubles he had caused at the newspaper office yesterday afternoon.

If it weren't for the fact that a large part of his mental pressure was vented at that time through the extremely realistic process of constantly beating and humiliating 'Old Nick' in the dream world, I'm afraid Wayne would have hurried out to find a way out impatiently by now, where would he still stay in the room and think about life with such a calm mind now.

"Is the experience in that dream world my own false fantasy, or did it really happen?" When thinking back to last night's dream, Wayne naturally thought of the mysterious white-robed figure and the words that the other party had said.

Wayne still took the words of the white-robed figure very seriously, and he now wanted to know if the experience in last night's dream was just his own personal unwarranted fantasy, or if there was really a believer of the so-called "Dream Lord" who contacted him and sent out a trade invitation.

Personally, Wayne hopes for the latter, after all, if it is true, it means that he, an ordinary poor citizen, has encountered an extraordinary and precious opportunity, regardless of the final result, but at least for himself who is now facing the dilemma of the workplace, it is a result that can bring hope.

However, how to determine the authenticity of the fake?

Wayne suddenly thought of a clue: "Speaking of which, didn't that guy say that after sending me back to reality, he would give me a small gift as a meeting gift......?" Where's the gift?"

"Ga-~!"

Wayne had just had such an idea, when he suddenly heard a very hoarse sound from the windowsill of his room, like the cry of a crow.

He quickly turned his head to look at the windowsill, and saw a strange bird the size of a fist with deep black feathers standing outside the window of his room, staring at him through the glass window with its head held high.

"Crows?" Wayne judged, though the other man's body seemed to be a little smaller than the average wild crow.

There are a lot of wild animals in the city, such as wild cats, wild dogs, crows, sparrows, etc., and the occasional crow on his windowsill does not make Wayne feel strange, but what really cares about him is that this crow doesn't seem to be afraid of life at all, and the spirituality in his eyes seems to be too high.

Wayne could read a bit of a very human emotion in the other person's eyes, a gaze with curiosity and scrutiny.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, before Wayne could make a move, the crow moved first.

Woohoo!

One after another, the crow began to peck at the glass in front of it with its black beak and beak, making a rhythmic sound. It sounds like you're knocking on your door.

Wayne hesitated for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant, but he noticed that the crow looked at him with an impatient look in his eyes, and at the same time, the rhythm of pecking the glass was noticeably faster.

Obviously, the other party is urging him.

Eh, this kind of IQ ...... Wait, is this an elf?!

If the low-level elves of many phantom beast species do not use extraordinary power, they look no different from ordinary wild animals from the outside, and if they are extraordinary professionals who cultivate spiritual power, they can detect the spiritual power breath in their bodies with their spiritual power perception skills, so as to judge whether the other party is an ordinary animal or a low-level elf of the phantom beast species.

However, Wayne is neither an elven envoy nor an elven magician, just an ordinary ordinary person, and his family background and income do not have the spare energy to buy and raise elves for himself to become a "co-contractor", so he does not have the ability to directly judge and distinguish between low-level phantom beast elves and ordinary animals.

However, there is a little common sense, and ordinary people like Wayne still know it.

- As long as it is an "elf", its intelligence will basically be significantly higher than that of ordinary animals, and at the worst, there will be a level of obvious humanized intelligence level of a human child of three or four years old, and then the stronger the strength, the higher the race, the higher the elf's intelligence.

Now, the performance of this 'crow' outside his window is obviously not something that ordinary crows can do!

After realizing that the other party was also an elf, Wayne's face became solemn. Even if it is the lowest mortal-level elf, when ordinary people face them, it is the same level of danger as when they face a wild wolf alone when they are unarmed in the wild, and it does not mean that they will definitely die, but if they are not careful, they may really die.

'Why are the elves coming to me?!...... No, isn't this the time to think about this, what to do in the first place? Do you want to immediately call out for help from the guards patrolling the streets?'

Wayne looked nervous and slowly moved away from the window, moving in the direction of the corridor outside the room, while grabbing the sheet on the bed and wrapping it around his hand as a temporary protection in case of emergency, while his eyes did not dare to relax at all to observe the movements of the 'crow' elf outside the window.

He was ready to run away with all his might at any time, if it weren't for the fear that his sudden voice would anger the other party, maybe it would be more correct for him to shout loudly at this time.

"Ga ——!"

As a result, the 'crow' elf seemed to notice Wayne's approach, and suddenly stopped tapping on the window glass, and then, under Wayne's nervous gaze, raised one of his paws and put it on the glass, and easily drew a circle on the glass without much effort.

As the other man's sharp claws seemed to be made of black iron, Wayne noticed that the tips of his claws seemed to glow with a grayish-black glow.

And then......

After a small and cacophony of friction, a fist-sized circular gap was easily dug out of the glass by the Raven elf, and Wayne gasped.

But he didn't have much time to be surprised, for the 'crow' elf had already slipped into the room through the gap in the glass!

"Gah!"

After entering the house, the 'crow' elf landed on the floor and let out a scream, and then twisted his little body towards Wayne, but this action frightened Wayne's face a little pale, he looked at the pair of small black claws under the other party that could easily cut through the glass, and really couldn't imagine what would happen if he was caught by this thing.

It's certain that the skin will open and the flesh will bloom, and it may even dig out the heart and lungs!

The protection brought by the mere quilt is now completely unable to give Wayne a sense of security!

'What should I do, what should I do...... different from when I knew it was a dream, Wayne, who encountered this potentially life-threatening situation for the first time in his life in reality, is now a little dispossessed and panicked.

As a result, just when Wayne's heart was beating and he was about to desperately call for help, the 'crow' elf suddenly stopped, raised his head and looked at him, and there was a faint silver flash in his eyes.

Then, a neutral voice that could not distinguish between men and women, young and old, rang out in the room: "Hello, Mr. Wayne, I am a family member who serves the great 'Lord of Dreams', and I beg your forgiveness for taking the liberty of disturbing me." Now that the gift that belongs to you has been delivered, please check it. 』

"Huh?...... Eh, eh, ——?!" Wayne couldn't react when he heard it.

The voice came from the inside of the 'crow' elf, and at this time, he ignored Wayne's mood and continued to himself, "The following is the introduction of the gift. Name: Black Crow, the type is a phantom beast elf, the rank is mortal, adult, with the skills "Color Change Feather", "Farsighted", "Night Vision", and an additional inherent elf skill "Visual Empathy". Do you have any questions? If not, please complete the acceptance process. 』

"Wait...... Wait!Wait a minute!" Wayne, who finally came back to his senses, hurriedly said at this time.

"Do you have any questions?" The voice made by the 'crow' elf did not have the slightest impatience, but rather did not carry much emotional fluctuation at all, but asked in a completely flat and straightforward manner.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, please let me slow down for a while......" Wayne grabbed his somewhat messy hair, pinched his thighs hard, and finally calmed down his consciousness a lot with the strong pain, and then began to sort out the situation.

Fortunately, although he was very nervous just now, at least Wayne still remembered what the other party said.

"Huh~~ You just said, the family of the 'Lord of Dreams'?" Soon Wayne asked the key point: "Is it ...... Was it that 'dream' from last night?"

"That's right. 』

“...... Are you talking about a gift that came early in the morning to give me such a 'surprise'?"

"No, this crow is the gift for you. 』

"And who are you?" Wayne looked at the 'black crow' suspiciously, obviously the sound came from it.

"I'm just one of my lord's dependents, and now I'm just temporarily attached to the crow to explain the necessary information to you, and then I'll leave on my own......

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have malicious intent, Wayne was much bolder, and asked a lot of questions to the family members of the so-called "Lord of Dreams" with curiosity.

Although many questions were not answered in detail, and the other party replied directly with a 'no comment', the limited information obtained also made Wayne couldn't help but be surprised.

According to the other party's meaning, his experience in the 'dream' world last night should undoubtedly be true. Then, the gift that the white-robed figure said was the mortal-level elf named 'Black Crow' in front of him, since it was a gift, it was naturally to be given to him, that is, as long as Wayne was willing to accept it, this 'Black Crow' would become his contract spirit in the future and accept his orders for him to serve.

Although Wayne is not an elven envoy, and he doesn't know how to make a contract with an elf, but because it is a gift, these things will be handled by the other party. And Wayne doesn't need to worry about the success rate of the contract, and the other party said that he has made a guarantee for this.

"Even the elves were given as gifts, which is really generous......" Wayne was excited at first, but soon realized that there was a problem.

That is, Wayne, as an ordinary person, has no spiritual power, so how should he raise elves?

Although this 'black crow' seems to be an adult, the needs of the other party's daily activities must also be consumed. Does he have to be like many co-contractants, directly folding his life and using his life and spiritual power to make offerings?

As a result, Wayne got an answer that surprised him.

"This 'black crow' has undergone special treatment, and as long as it is not beyond the scope of its daily activities, it must be supported by spiritual power from the owner. So, you can use it with confidence. 』

"Is that so?"

The black crow's eyes flashed slightly: "Please rest assured, with my help, this 'black crow' will sign a contract with you in the form of voluntary submission, and you will be the dominant one. If you are not satisfied with this in the future, you can always cancel the contract and abandon it. 』

The other party has made such a sincere treatment, and Wayne really can't think of anything else to refute.

To be honest, although he still has some instinctive vigilance in his heart, he really wants to eat this kind of benefit that can be called 'pie in the sky'.

If it were other elves, it wouldn't be like this, but this 'black crow', according to the introduction of the dependents of this 'Dream Lord', it happened to be a very suitable elf with hidden detection skills for his work, and it was very helpful to him.

"Chameleon Feather" can allow the crow to hide its tracks, "Farsightedness" and "Night Vision" can better track and detect intelligence information, and the solidified elven magic "visual empathy" can allow a layman like Wayne, who does not know elven magic, to directly and remotely read the information detected by the crow's eyes, even if the crow is accidentally exposed, it will not easily implicate himself, plus he does not need to bother to make offerings......

Thinking of the benefits of getting this thing, Wayne finally chose to accept it.

After subduing the crow with the help of the family members of the so-called 'Dream Lord', the other party left directly in a way that Wayne could not detect, as he said before.

Before leaving, he left only one sentence for Wayne.

"We're always looking forward to welcoming Mr. Wayne to join us, even if you're not interested in it right now, it's a pleasure to work with. The world of dreams is ready to welcome you back. 』

Cooperate?

Wayne didn't understand what the other party said, but he quickly remembered the commission that the white-robed figure had made to him last night.

After thinking about it, Wayne became a little helpless: "Tsk...... I've taken the benefits, and it seems that I can't do anything if I don't do anything!"

At this moment, he didn't know that he would soon get into huge trouble because of this benefit in the future. I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
