Chapter 14: The Night Knight
"I need an explanation!" Dale controlled the idea of throwing the magic out of her hand and questioned the money-grubbing elf, "This is the guest you are talking about?" It's a mouse! ”
The money-greedy elf was very aggrieved, and it flew above the Shadow Parasite Iterator, and a large water ball condensed in its hand to magnify the mouse.
"Master, it does look like a mouse, and that's what I thought when I first spotted it. It was my job to get rid of the rats in the room, but when I was about to kill it, it spoke......
Rats can't speak.
So I judged it to be a sapient creature, but it looked a little like a mouse. After all, there are so many intelligent and transcendent species in the world that I can't know them all.
It tells me...... It's your friend, and I can only arrange a place for it to rest and give it a few baked muffins. ”
The money-grubbing goblin's explanation makes sense.
Dale had no choice but to take a deep breath and withdraw the magic she had gathered. Looking at the food on the table, there is no appetite at all.
She pointed her knife at the Shadow Parasite iteration and threatened, "Hey...... We've got it all right. I said on the boat, don't follow me. You're free, and you can go wherever you want. ”
The Shadow Parasite Iterator said, "I'm free, but I find the outside world more dangerous than in the Transcendent Species Institute. I'm going to run away from snakes, cats, and weasels...... All things that like to feed on rodents.
And somebody, just now I almost got caught in a mousetrap.
And this host has made me lose most of my power, and its poor mental power can only sustain my existence. Gracious Highness, I ask for your refuge. ”
The rat stood upright like a man and bent down to salute Dale.
The poor look is a little cute.
"Poor little thing......" The words of the Shadow Parasite iteration resonated in Dale's heart: "The outside world is not as beautiful as we imagined, and many people want to kill me, or take advantage of me.
But I love living like this, and I don't know if I'm going to run for my life tomorrow when I open my eyes.
Follow me, it won't make you safer. Get out of here, find a secret place to set up a nest, and give birth to a bunch of rat cubs......"
With that, Dale and the Shadow Parasite Iterator looked at each other, and then shivered at the same time.
"It's horrible!"
"It's horrible!"
The Shadow Parasite Iterator continued to plead, "Your Highness! You don't know what I've been through this day. It's night outside, and I'm going to make it past dawn without it.
Your Highness, the first time we met, I felt your pure spiritual world...... I am willing to sign a spiritual servant contract with you to serve you as Lord. ”
The Shadow Parasite iterated on one knee in front of Dale, reverently as if meeting the knight of his allegiance to the monarch.
Dale is a person with a good heart, and the Shadow Parasite Iterative Body has not done anything evil, but the current appearance is a little unpleasant. But after looking at it for a long time, with big ears and bean-like eyes, you can still find some interesting places.
And the current Shadow Parasite is indeed too weak, plus Malcoln must be looking for it everywhere, letting it go is really letting it die.
"Okay!" Dale made a decision, and she placed the knife on the shoulder of the Shadow Parasite iteration, "I'...... Dale Augustine, give you the name Dark Night as the royal princess of the Golden Shield Empire. From now on, I give thee the honour of the glorious family, a shelter, and food for thy belly: thou shalt offer unto me thy loyalty, and defend with thy sword the will of my will to exist in this world until thy spirit ends. ”
The Shadow Parasite iteration given the name Night reiterates the Oath of Allegiance, and above its head, a spiritual black hole unique to the Shadow Parasite opens, and a halo of jellyfish flies out of it, fluttering to the center of Dale's eyebrows.
Spiritual contract concluded.
Dale took back the knife and said to the night, "Okay...... Night Knight, we've all left the places we hated and faced an unknowable future together. I have a hunch that our future must be colorful, and in future bards, there will be stories of Princess Dale and her knights adventuring together. ”
Standing up in the dark, "I, am I a knight now?" ”
"Of course, with the name of the Imperial Princess and the allegiance ceremony performed by yourself, you are now a knight." Dale turned to the greedy elf and said, "Make some clothes for our Night Knight." There should be ceremonial dresses, casual clothes, and armor...... Yes, and a sword. ”
Dark Night immediately said, "Make a few more swords for me." ”
The Money-Greedy Elf replied, "Yes master, but there is an extra reward for making clothes for the Night Knights. ”
A gold coin bounced into the air, and the greedy elf flew over and hugged it: "Don't worry, master!" Tomorrow morning, the Night Knight will be able to wear it...... Her new clothes. ”
……
In the Malken Institute of Transcendent Species, the investment contract was signed very smoothly, and the first investment of 10 million Reichsmarks was handed over to Malken by Luke.
The big stone in Malken's heart fell to the ground. There are no traps in the contract, and the conditions are as if you are the investor. He couldn't figure out how Luke could offer himself such a contract.
It's like you don't know how to spend it because you have a lot of money.
Anyway, the money is in hand, and it doesn't matter whether Luke has other purposes or not.
At the dinner after the contract was signed, Malken toasted Luke frequently, and his words couldn't help but be a little drunk: "Although I haven't been to the city of the Angry Waves many times, I know that the merchants of the city are really rich. A ship goes out and a ship comes back, and there is no limit to wealth.
Mr. Luke, let me tell you...... Investing in my institute is definitely the most successful investment you have ever made.
The people in the Imperial Transcendent Species Cultivation Center are simply pig brains. I only had to mention their mistake at the slightest moment, and they kicked me out of the research center in a fit of rage. Without me, see if they have a result that can be counted as a result? ”
Luke used the gluttonous fire to burn the alcohol in his body, but he pretended to be drunk and dark.
"Mr. Malken, you must be wondering why I gave you such a good contract, an investment of 50 million Reichsmarks. There are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you that I just fancy your fame and your strength.
In my eyes, the name Malken is worth 50 million, and I believe that this investment will definitely bring me a good return. Let me prove in front of Jasmine's father that I am not inferior to Viscount Inscoran.
He's just a lucky guy who was born with noble blood, and who happened to be on the right side in that city upheaval. ”
"yes!" Luke's cause Malken to sigh, he raised his glass and drank again, "This empire values blood more than anything else. Even if it is an experimental subject, respect the pedigree of the experimental specimen and do experiments that are in line with its pedigree identity.
Yes, that thing is noble, nobler than the royal blood of TM. Any new experimental project starts with a discussion about whether the bloodline is respected or not, which is ridiculous! ”
Luke knew that Malcoln was talking about the Shadow Parasite.
As one of the five ancient civilizations, the Shadow Civilization has the strictest view of bloodline. When a new Shadow Parasite is created, all the subordinate races attached to the Shadow Civilization must send the strongest members of the royal family to participate in the selection of hosts.
Once chosen by the Shadowparasite as a host to become a ShadowClan, all blood relatives of the host must be martyred in a ritual to ensure the uniqueness of the bloodline.
In short, the ShadowClan is very paranoid about bloodlines.
The Shadow Parasite that was obtained by the Golden Shield Empire was directly kicked out of the family tree by the Shadow Clan due to its mutilation, and he no longer recognized this relative.
However, the mutilated Shadow Parasites still maintain a preference for noble bloodlines, and the iterations that have been separated and bred also show a strong bloodline theory. Even if you can't have the luxury of parasitic in the soul of the royal family and members of the royal family, you must be a person with a family background and fame.
If the host's origins are not in line with the Shadow Parasite iteration, there is a high chance that they will die violently.
Therefore, if the Imperial Transcendent Species Cultivation Center wants to make the Shadow Parasite and Iterators cooperate with the experiment, the issue of bloodline must be discussed first. Of course, the empire itself is very important to bloodlines, and Malken's research method of using the Shadow Parasite as a guinea pig is not supported at all.
Luke couldn't help but think of Dale and the Shadow Parasite iteration she encountered.
After discovering that Daile is a princess, the thing is forcibly parasitic regardless of its own demise, and you can see how narcissistic and vain the Shadow Parasite is. But that thing ended up parasitic in the soul of a mouse, which shows that the shadow parasite is also very realistic when conditions do not allow it.
After a glass of wine, Luke took Malken's hand intimately and whispered: "This era belongs to you and to me, and the noble bloodline will eventually be broken by people like us."
We will create a new era that transcends ancient civilizations.
I've drunk a little too much today, so I'll tell you one more thing.
Make a good extraordinary pet, and the money I earn in Angry Waves will give me more power and control over money from Jasmine's father. I want to invest more in the cultivation of extraordinary species, I want to become stronger, I want to make every cell of me an extraordinary being.
As long as you can fulfill my wish for me, 500 million, 5 billion, 50 billion...... I'll give you as much money as you need for your research. ”
"Really?" What Malcoln lacks is money, and a Pegasus costs 20 million Reichsmarks, so you can imagine what a more powerful transcendent creature is worth. If you want to control the transcendent creatures, the equipment and personnel required are a huge expense. By picking up garbage and buying corpses, it is difficult to carry out the research topics he wants.
"Of course it's true! What can a rich man like me pursue? Longer life, stronger body...... It's better to be a god.
As I just said, this is a great time, and the explosion of technology has made all the impossible possible. As long as you can fulfill my wishes, the money ...... What kind of thing? ”
Malken nodded approvingly, and he whispered, "As far as I know, our Imperial Majesty is also very concerned about the technology to extend life. He pinned his hopes on the Imperial Transcendent Species Cultivation Center, hoping that the transcendent regeneration technology would allow him to rejuvenate himself.
I've got a failed test subject here. If I have enough money, I can also buy some related technology through connections...... Believe me, invest in me, what Your Majesty can have, you can also have. ”
"Of course I believe you." Luke smiled and raised his glass to touch Melken, "You help me gain my father-in-law's trust first." ”
"No problem, I don't do anything during this time, only extraordinary pet breeding." At this time, Malken looked at Alice, who was waiting on the other side: "People can also raise pets, do you need my help?" ”
"No, no. Jasmine's love for me is the foundation of the future. Don't upset her, and don't put her in danger in Downtown. ”
In the face of Luke's warning, Malcoln finally came to his senses, and he reminded: "Your investment in me has aroused the coveting of many people. I can help you stop until tomorrow, and tomorrow you have to come up with a strategy that will make them safe, or our cooperation will only end with extraordinary pets.
It's not that I don't help you. I'm just a newcomer to the gang in the sinkhole. If you don't have a good idea, I can help you and your wife get back to Uptown tonight. ”
Luke patted Malcoln on the shoulder: "Thank you for your concern." An extraordinary pet project, but that's not all I've come to Downtown. In my eyes, this place is full of undiscovered treasures. You guard a treasure, and I'm ...... Help you dig up the treasure. ”
Malken didn't see anything else in Downtown that could bring Luke wealth other than his own Institute of Otherworldly Species.
"Okay. I don't understand how you businessmen find your wealth. I will arrange for someone to protect your residence, and if there is an emergency, run to the drain, and I will do my best to protect you.
Also, don't trust Alice. She can sell anyone for money. ”
Luke laughed, "Who can be richer than me in Downtown?" Don't worry, I need Alice's eyes and ears, and I know how to control her.
That's all for today...... Get the amazing pet I want out as soon as possible, so we can make the next investment.
Good bye. ”
Malcoln shakes hands with Luke: "Goodbye! ”
This time, Melken sent Monis, the panther, to personally escort Luke back, with Luke in the car resting his head on Alice's shoulder.
Alice held a hand-held fan to blow the wind for Luke: "Mr. Luke, what have you and Mr. Malcoln talked about, I see that you are very happy." ”
Fast Legs reminded him in front of him, "Miss Alice, please respect your duty. Listening to trade secrets is not something you and I should do. ”
"I'm sorry!" Alice immediately apologized: "I'm not used to being who I am now. ”
At this time, Luke Mengmeng said: "I have 500 million Reichsmark investment funds in my hands, and I want to smash all of them in the lower city." They say I won't get anything, but I'll prove them all wrong! ”
