Chapter Twenty-Four: Blood Spirits
"Celestial Empire?" Rocky was a little surprised, although among the onlookers just now, there were also many yellow people, but most of them were public cannon fodder faces that people forgot at a glance, like the one in front of him with such a temperament, Rocky said that he had never seen one in the original world.
"That's right." The Celestial Beauty in front of Rocky smiled and nodded, "You can call me Earl D, this is Earl's pet shop, if I don't feel wrong, you should have a voucher for our store?" ”
After listening to Count D's self-introduction, Rocky was a little surprised to find that behind Count D, a shop appeared in the road full of the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient style of the Celestial Empire.
"Count D? Could it be that you are the one who opened the Earl pet shop? Rocky was a little surprised, but he didn't expect this Earl pet store to deliver it to the door by himself.
"Exactly, I don't know what to call you?" Earl D asked with a smile.
"My name is Rocky? Gold? Arthur? Pro? V. Sakuraman? Maiao? Thunder? Saches? Satan, you can simply call me Rocky. Rocky said immediately, although his long and somewhat outrageous name made Reimu and the others behind him too lazy to complain.
"So, Mr. Rocky, let's go sit down and talk slowly, shall we?" Count D made an inviting gesture.
"It's okay to go in and sit, so do you have a pet in your store that is suitable for me?" Rocky nodded and asked with interest.
"You look very different as a guest, so I'll pick carefully for you." Earl D immediately said with a smile.
"You're really good at talking." With a satisfied smile on his face, Rocky followed Count D into the alleyway inside the pet shop.
After a few steps, a fat man with rabbit ears Lori walked out of the pet store with an excited face.
"Earl, thank you so much, I am very satisfied with this child!" After the fat man saw Earl D, he immediately rushed up excitedly and squeezed his hand, and said excitedly.
"Hehehe......" Earl D hurriedly pulled out his hand, and said with a helpless smile on his face: "If you are satisfied, remember the content of the contract, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”
"Absolutely!" The fat man nodded vigorously, and then quickly disappeared into the eyes of the two with the rabbit ear Lori.
"How do you feel like you're in a human trafficking center......" Rocky complained.
"How is that possible...... I'm a serious pet shop......" Count D wiped his hands carefully with his handkerchief, and seemed to have a strong habit of cleanliness.
"But the one who came out just now is obviously a rabbit-eared man, so he should be considered a half-orc, right?" Rocky asked, a little confused.
"How can a half-orc compare to the pet I sold? The one just now was a purebred jade rabbit. Earl D immediately said confidently.
"Jade Rabbit? Could it be the jade rabbit raised by Chang'e? Rocky was a little surprised, but after getting used to the various unscientificities of this supreme game, this seems to be nothing incomprehensible, after all, even the two-dimensional Artoria has appeared, and it is not surprising that there will be a jade rabbit Chang'e.
"Yes, it's the legendary Jade Rabbit on the moon." Earl D nodded, "I have many legendary divine beasts here, but these divine beasts often choose their own masters, so many of them have never been able to sell them." ”
"So which beast do you think I'll be picked by?" Rocky asked with interest.
Earl D carefully observed Rocky for a moment, and then said: "You have the aura of a king on your body, and it is easy to be favored by a creature like a unicorn, but because the aura of a king on your body seems to have a sense of demonic spirit, it seems that you are easily entangled by the four murderers." ”
"Kirin? The Four Murderers? Aren't these all mythical beasts? "Rocky was really surprised this time, he was out and about, riding a real unicorn under his crotch, which was more windy than taking Artoria.
Earl D nodded and said, "That's right, these divine beasts have also been looking for their new owners, but in my opinion, what kind of pet you want depends entirely on the desire in your heart now." ”
"Actually, it's just because I have a B-grade voucher, right?" Rocky said suddenly, obviously this B-level exchange ticket can already be exchanged for many legendary god pets.
"Hahaha...... Perhaps. Count D was stunned for a few seconds, and then showed a mysterious smile, and then, under his leadership, Rocky unconsciously passed through the passage and came to a huge living room, in the center of which was a round table, and around the round table there were only a few lampstands that were not very bright, and the light looked a little dim.
"Sit down, I'll go to the back and have a look, pet of your choice."
Earl D said with a smile, and then out of nowhere he made a set of black tea, poured it for Rocky himself, and then walked into the room on the other side of the room, which was covered by a Chinese cloth.
"What an interesting person." Rocky tasted the black tea and said to Reimu beside him.
"Don't be too happy." Reimu hurriedly reminded, "I've heard that if you want to get Earl D's pet, you must abide by some agreements, and once you break the contract, not to mention that the pet will be taken back, and your life may be in danger." ”
"The danger to life? Is that an exaggeration? Isn't it just a pet? Rocky looked puzzled.
"I don't know, but I've heard rumors at school." Reimu replied.
"Arara, sure enough, Mr. Rocky is very kingly, and many of the divine beasts behind him want to go with you, and two of them are particularly excited, and it seems that you need to make up your mind."
"Oh? Need me to decide? Rocky was a little surprised.
Earl D nodded and said, "That's right, one is the divine beast Qilin I have here, and the other is a blood spirit that has existed since ancient times. ”
"It sounds so big, but I think the blood spirit is more suitable for me." Rocky pushed his glasses down, then suddenly decided.
"Huh? Is this decided? Earl D was a little surprised, "The unicorn is a divine beast, and after recognizing the master, it can help the master become the supreme king." ”
"So, it's not suitable for me, I'm already a king, and I don't need to rely on the strength of the unicorn at all." Rocky said with a smile.
"Really? Then I'd be rude. Count D suddenly realized, "Then, I'll take you to meet the Blood Spirit next, but the others need to stay here." ”
"No problem." Rocky nodded. "But you'd better prepare more snacks for them, or I think they'll be bored."
"That's fine, you wait." Count D nodded, and quickly pulled out a whole jar of biscuits from the room and placed them in front of Artoria.
Smelling the smell of the biscuits, Artoria hesitated, then took a slice and tasted it, only to lose control of the taste.
"Uh...... You know them well......" Rocky couldn't help but spit out.
"Hehe, King Arthur is also a relatively famous person in the Supreme Game, even a small shop like mine has heard of it." Count D said with a smile, and then made an inviting gesture and said, "Then, Mr. Rocky, please come with me." ”
Rocky nodded, and immediately followed Count D through the cloth-adorned gate to a staircase that descended to Lu.
"Watch out for the steps, the blood spirit is in the deepest part of this staircase." Earl D said with a smile.
"By the way, can you have more than one pet here?" Rocky asked, as he walked down the road.
Earl D nodded and said, "Of course, but in principle, I don't recommend customers to have too many pets, because as you know, the pets in my store are all pets that need to be kept carefully." ”
"Is this blood spirit difficult to raise?" Rocky asked immediately.
"What shall I say...... In fact, the blood spirit does not need to be fed at all, it only requires you to abide by some contracts. Count D replied at once, and before he knew it, the two of them had come to a closed ornate bronze door.
At this time, Count D took out a large number of keys from his Tang pocket, and then picked out one of the copper keys with the same pattern as the door, and opened the door.
After opening the door, Count D immediately covered his nose with a handkerchief, because in the room, there was a very strong smell of blood, but in the nose of Rocky's zombies, this strong smell of blood was like a thick aroma of wine, which made him a little intoxicated.
In the center of the room, there was a large pool of blood about five meters in diameter, and in the blood pool, the blood was very uneasy to roll, like magma.
"Is this the Blood Spirit?" Coming back to his senses, Rocky asked with a smile, at least in terms of taste, the blood spirit was very compatible with him.
"Exactly." Count D covered his nose and nodded.
The next moment, a stream of blood slowly rose in the center of the blood pool, and as this blood slowly increased, the blood in the blood pool began to decline rapidly at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
After a while, the rising blood slowly turned into a human form after absorbing all the blood in the blood pool, although it was not very clear, but it could be seen that it was a cute girl.
"Is this the Blood Spirit?" Rocky took a few steps forward to the pool of blood, then reached out and touched the blood spirit in human form.
"Hmm, it feels unexpectedly good." Rocky couldn't help but admire, although the body of the unexpected blood spirit looked like it was made of blood, but it felt unexpectedly slippery, soft, and cool to the touch, which made Rocky wonder what this blood spirit was for a while.
At this time, feeling Rocky's touch, the blood spirit also moved his body closer to Rocky, as if he wanted Rocky to touch himself more.
"Oh, it's still a spoiled child, yes, I like it!" Rocky said with satisfaction.
However, in the next moment, the blood spirit's body suddenly conjured into a sharp blood thorn, which instantly cut through the palm of Rocky's hand touching her, and then surged into Rocky's body along Rocky's cut wound.
"Uh...... What's going on? ”
Seeing the blood spirit pouring into his body in an instant, Rocky couldn't help but be surprised, but the blood spirit that poured into Rocky's body seemed to have disappeared, because Rocky didn't feel that there were hundreds of liters of blood in his body.
"Ding Dong, the system prompts, you have obtained the pet blood spirit!"
It wasn't until the system sent a prompt that Rocky confirmed that the blood spirit was already in his body.
