In the small dining room on the battleship, the officers have gathered to comfort the mood of going up and down like a roller coaster all day with wine and meat.

Now the ship is well stocked, and the officers and men who survived the catastrophe are entitled to reward themselves with a feast like a noble drinking party.

"Your Excellency Captain is here!"

"Pour the captain's wine. ”

Sip Chardonnay wine brought on board from Milan and enjoy a variety of delicacies made from the meat of the "shadow lizard" that the king may not have seen.

Although Chardonnay is more suitable for light food, the rarity and deliciousness of the otherworldly ingredients cover up this small shortcoming.

"To our greatest captain!"

"That's right! Lord Aven is of course the greatest captain!"

"Cheers!"

Gladly accepting the officers' respects, Ai Wen was thinking in his heart that these salted fish who would shout "Captain 666" in the light of the light would not be counted on at the critical moment.

Shouldn't you take a longer view and recruit a few powerful men from outside the navy?

Although cultivating from scratch can better ensure loyalty and know the roots, the results are too slow.

Even his favourite rope captain Vader and recruit Fleck still have a long way to go.

And even if they can complete the transcendent transformation in the end, the two low-level official knights may not be able to block the current sword of themselves, and they can only be regarded as better than nothing.

Half an hour later.

When the well-fed Ai Wen held a toothpick in his mouth, he leisurely returned to the laboratory to prepare to accept his "debut", the first shadow amulet.

Click! click...

Standing outside the door, he heard an unexpected noise coming from his laboratory.

"It's like... The sound of eating cookies?"

Aven's brow furrowed, what deadly bastard on this ship would dare to hide in his lab and eat cookies?

"How daring!"

Although most of his valuables are carried in his "magic pocket", some materials that are used in large quantities or more commonly used are still stocked in the laboratory.

There are even occasional odd things that fail in experiments, and they don't even know what the effect will be. It may not be of much value, but it is not at all dangerous.

Not to mention, there is still the first "Wild Talisman" made by himself in the laboratory today undergoing an activation ceremony, which is related to the preconditions for his promotion to an official wizard, which means a lot to himself!

Aven's face had sunk, and he had made up his mind to teach this reckless guy a lesson he would never forget!

Whoever it is!

Bang –

Pushing the door of the room open, it was pitch black inside, and the hanging wind chimes that served as a light source had all been extinguished.

And in the darkness, the chewing sound of "click" became louder and louder.

Smack!

Ai Wen snapped his fingers twice in succession and didn't see the hanging wind chimes light up again, thinking that he hadn't been exposed to the light for too long, and his energy reserves were already insufficient, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Because, although it was raining heavily outside with dark clouds, the subtle light between the lightning bolts was enough for Evan to see everything in the cabin.

He preferred not to see it, though.

The sound came from the workbench where the initiation ritual was taking place.

A pure black lizard with a tail of more than 40 centimeters in length is lying on it and munching on "something" with relish.

However, the so-called "something" is just Aven's self-deception, and only two things on the snow-white ceramic countertop are black and black.

One is the lizard that ran out of nowhere, and the other is the first "Wild Talisman" I made!

With the last hope in his heart, Aven rushed forward with an arrow.

He grabbed the lizard's long tail, lifted it up and shook it twice: "Ahh

But all he shook off was the last bit of the lizard's claws... Residue!

It's a completely venting incompetent roar, and even if it is spit out again, it will be completely useless.

And the hanging wind chimes next to it are not because there is no energy reserve, but they are scattered and covered with traces of being bitten, and they have all died heroically.

Knock! knock...

Evan felt the green tendons on his forehead start beating uncontrollably.

Lowered his head and met a pair of dark and watery eyes.

Innocent!

"Click.."

Dragged by Aiwen's tail and hanging upside down in the air, the little lizard struggled twice, and opened its mouth to bark twice in some discomfort.

Aven saw its mouth full of tiny triangular teeth, still cold in the darkness. And it is such a mouthful of teeth that even the spiritual vertical scales of an adult "shadow lizard" can be chewed as easily as eating a biscuit.

Obviously, it is definitely not ordinary in itself.

By this time, if Evan couldn't guess where the living lizard came from, he would be sorry for the wizard's keen senses.

The alcohol lamp had long since been extinguished, and the black lizard eggs in the cauldron were gone, and even the eggshells were gone.

There is no doubt that this hateful guy who has eaten his "wild talisman" is his own prep breakfast "boiled egg".

"My poor first 'Talisman of the Wild'! You've only lived a chapter... Ahem, what a meal!"

After mourning silently for his "Wild Talisman", Evan casually threw the lizard he was carrying onto the workbench.

"Click..."

The newborn lizard deftly rolled over, landed on all fours on the polished ceramic countertop, and tilted its head again to call at Aven.

At this point, Evan knew it was useless no matter what.

The first "Wild Talisman" I made by myself had already died before the actual experimental effect was effective.

"But you can't just leave it at that. ”

Evan paced at the workbench, thinking about how he could extract the value of a "Wild Talisman" from the newborn lizard.

Since being cheated a few times in the Raven Bazaar, my knowledge has grown. It has always been only Evan who takes advantage of others, when will he be taken advantage of by a lizard?

looked down at the "boiled egg", but found that this little lizard was not afraid of life at all.

Follow in your footsteps and follow in your footsteps on the workbench, from left to right and from right to left.

Seeing Ai Wen looking over, he even raised his head and seemed to be happily "Click.." Click.." Screamed.

"Huh, is it so self-cooked?"

It was only at this time that Evan finally calmed down completely and took a closer look at the little lizard that had caused him a "heavy loss".

The most striking thing about it is its black eyes, which are significantly more agile than the crimson eyes of adult lizards. Pleasing.

Because, Evan himself has a pair of eyes of the same color.

Another point is that this baby lizard has a flat body, which is more like a gecko than a lizard, with smooth skin and scaleless scales, and there are no iguana scales on its back.

If it weren't for the fact that it was lying on a very conspicuous white ceramic countertop, it would be like a shadow in itself, and the past would be ignored if you didn't pay attention to it.

However, other physical characteristics are no different from other "shadow lizards". Sharp teeth, sharp claws, long tail.

I don't know if it's because it's mutated, or if the shadow lizard's juvenile stage itself looks like this?

"But is this guy a descendant of a normal shadow lizard, or a descendant of those giant beast-like lizards?"

Touching his chin, as a wizard of the "Living Chemistry School", he is half a biologist himself, and he is very interested in this kind of biological problem.

Evan then made a rough estimate based on the ratio of crocodile eggs to adult crocodiles' body length. Normally, with a giant reptile with a tail length of about 30 meters, the eggs laid out must be close to one meter long.

However, this guy's eggs were the size of a volleyball before hatching, which was too big for the average two-meter-long shadow lizard, but too small for a giant lizard.

"It can't be an abandoned freak, right?"

What Evan didn't know was that the "Black Causeway" they had encountered earlier was the concentrated spawning ground for this group of shadow lizards.

At this time, they will travel from all over the archipelago to the circular volcanic island to participate in the "blind date meeting", and by the way, take advantage of the unique geographical conditions of the volcanic island to hatch offspring.

This explains what Evan and the others saw, which seemed to be far beyond the carrying limits of the environment.

In fact, those giant lizards hid by hot springs under volcanic islands and reefs, and took advantage of the special conditions there to hatch their normal eggs.

If you analyze it from Aven's point of view.

Most of the so-called "demonized creatures" were originally affected by the mysterious factors that are ubiquitous in this world, and then slowly formed a group that can reproduce stably.

It is normal for the "demonized creatures" to have atavistic or secondary mutations.

However, the parents of the baby lizard apparently do not think so.

Neither big nor small, it was only as a freak that the lizard egg was left alone outside. It was accidentally discovered by Milan and became the fuse to detect the abnormality on the island in advance!

And the "white boiled egg" made by Evan just met the hatching conditions of this shadow lizard, and accidentally hatched this abandoned little guy.

"However, our 'Living Chemistry School' is not afraid of blame!"

After becoming a wizard, you can use a variety of "bio-modifications", including: bloodline activation rituals, contract monsters, bloodline transplants, and more.

Even if you just let the baby lizards reach the body length of those large lizards at 30 meters in the end, just like the small Godzilla, it will be a big profit!

If you let it hide in the shadows, it will be a portable small sea monster, and it will only be more difficult than the sea monster!

Even if the cultivation fails, and the body size can only be maintained at about two meters of a small lizard, it can still play a cameo role as a shadow killer as a "real ghost lizard shadow thief".

No matter how you calculate it, you shouldn't be able to lose.

Staring at the little lizard, a smile finally appeared on Aiwen's face.

Already preparing for a full-fledged wizard, he just needs such a "voluntary" dedication to the test.

"Click?"

The little lizard didn't realize the ill-intentioned look in Aiwen's eyes at all, probably because Aiwen was the first creature it saw when it opened its eyes, and it was born with a sense of closeness.

He tilted his head and shouted at Aven.

"Not bad, not bad. You agreed, didn't you? Well, you should be given a name.

According to the general law of pet naming, since you are pure black, then call you ...... Click, click!"
