Chapter 11: Death and Rebirth
If this investment is successful, Glerint will earn an additional £20,000 a year.
Of course, when the second round of capital injection is used to establish the company, he will inevitably reduce some of his shares, otherwise the financial pressure will be too huge.
As for wealth, Gleilynt likes it, but he doesn't put much effort into it.
Regarding this, Gleilynt suddenly remembered the measure of wealth in the original book:
Some people use pennies, some people use gold pounds, and some people use extraordinary characteristics.
That's all fine!
Those who use the words "ambassador" and "daniz" are really ridiculous.
As for the definition of "trench" in the whole book, it must be the undisputed "Miss Justice" Audrey.
Thanks to Earl Hall's vision and pattern, as a girl with no actual inheritance rights in the family, Audrey also directly received 300,000 gold pounds......
Not counting real estate, this figure is roughly equal to Glerint's total wealth today.
Sending a few people away, Gleilynt went to the basement to recover the extraordinary properties.
Quinn's death didn't involve anything extraordinary, and he didn't seem to have made much of a difference before, and he didn't lead to an official extraordinaire today.
So he's pretty much sure it's safe now.
————————————————————
Looking at the box that had just been opened, Glerint decided to redefine the criteria for judging wealth.
"Why don't you use 'can you raise extraordinary animals' as the basis for judging wealth in the future?"
Glerint complained silently, looking at the fat brown-yellow mouse in front of him.
And the other party also stared at him with soybean-like eyes.
The scene was momentarily deadlocked.
Glerint regretted that he had simply thought that as long as no animal could lift the lid, there would be no problem, but he had forgotten that rats could easily bite through wooden crates!
Even the wooden box was bitten through the hole, and it is possible that the rats made a nest in it! He hadn't had time to double-check it before.
To be honest, Glerint is actually quite interested in safe and harmless extraordinary animals, and if the conditions allow, it is definitely a good experience to have one, especially one that can improve the sequence of intelligence.
And in the low sequence, it doesn't actually cost much money.
The problem is that his sequence lacks the ability to domesticate animals, which does not guarantee that the extraordinary animals he raises are "safe and harmless".
He rubbed his ring and raised his right hand.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak......"
The rat seemed quite alarmed, but it didn't scurry, but its cry became more rapid and sharp.
I don't understand rat language, so it's useless for you to call it......
Gleilynt looked at the mouse silently, complaining silently, but did not make any further movements.
Because it doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking or fleeing!
If you can communicate, maybe you can raise it?
Finding that Gleilynt had stopped attacking, the rat calmed down and its cry was no longer as sharp as it had returned.
"Squeak, squeak......"
……
……
……
One person and one mouse looked at each other silently, silent for more than ten seconds.
Communication failed!
"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Glelynt tried to communicate with it.
……
……
……
"Squeak?"
The fat brown-and-yellow rat was silent for a few seconds, squeaking tentatively.
It doesn't look like it!
Even with potions and some IQ boosts, the rat is not yet good enough to understand language or be able to speak.
Glerint looked at the mouse, rather embarrassed.
In his heart, he didn't want to kill this mouse who had taken potions and had not yet lost control and turned into a monster, because this was enough to cherish! If he had bought his own potion and tried it, he might not have succeeded once in ten times!
But he was even more reluctant to let it go like that, partly because it contained six hundred to seven hundred pounds worth of Sequence Eight extraordinary properties! On the other hand, it is potentially dangerous after all!
Miraculously, seeing that Glerint was not moving, it gradually quieted down.
Why doesn't it run?
Glerint was puzzled by this, remembering that the trickster potion had a speed bonus, and the rat was already flexible. If it does decide to escape, I won't be able to intercept it even if I use "psychic piercing".
"Squeak!"
The fat, brown-yellow mouse let out a low cry that regained Glerint's attention.
I saw it move its body cautiously, allowing a young rat the size of a thumb and finger to emerge from her belly! She's in production!
After the birth of this young mouse, the mother mouse did not continue to give birth, and her belly was visibly deflated.
Newborn mice have tender skin and are wet all over. The brown but no longer fat mother mouse bit off the umbilical cord with her teeth, looked at the young mouse lovingly, and licked the amniotic fluid on the little one.
Then, she glanced at Glerint "warily".
Unfortunately, she found that the other party had no intention of letting her go.
This female rat already has quite a bit of intelligence.
"Squeak!!
She screamed violently, and Glerint subconsciously raised her right hand, ready to attack.
But she didn't try to attack or run away.
Instead, he slowly approached Glerint and lowered his head to gnaw on his stomach!
She's having a caesarean section?
Glerint had such a funny thought for no reason.
Immediately, he saw that the mother rat had bitten her heart, and the blood was flowing out, and the mother rat was gradually losing her life.
This, this ......!
She, she committed suicide?
Gleilynt was stunned for a moment, and then saw the rapid precipitation of extraordinary characteristics, and then suddenly realized.
She wanted to give it back to me......
She wanted to trade that I wouldn't hurt her children......
For a moment, a great shock came to his heart. Gleilynt only felt that this kind of thing was absurd and desolate, sad and tragic!
He couldn't move for a moment, as if all his strength had been drained.
The blood flowed to the young rats, and the extraordinary properties drifted with them.
Glerint's eyes were dark, and he raised his hand to stop it, but suddenly stopped, and hung down weakly.
The feeling of wetness came, and the young mouse instinctively opened its mouth to lick and swallow the extraordinary properties!
Glerint immediately watched to prevent possible changes.
After watching for about ten minutes, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The young rat didn't go crazy and didn't mutate into a monster.
————————————————————
Things unexpectedly turned out exactly as Glerint had in mind!
It not only satisfies Glerint's idea of raising extraordinary animals, but also ensures relative safety.
Animals raised from a young age are generally more likely to get close to their owners, which is much easier to communicate with adult animals.
But Gleilynt wasn't excited about it.
Although he was not a direct killer, the mother rat was still forced to death by him in the end. If he had retreated in time, the mother rat would not have been bent on dying.
"But I didn't make a mistake! I couldn't have simply let her go, even if I knew she was giving birth. ”
He made such an inner justification for his actions.
It didn't soothe his guilt, but it made him stand firm.
Later, Glerint examined it and found that the mother had three stillbirths in her abdomen.
Perhaps due to the potions, the only surviving and born baby was much stronger than its three brothers, and Gleilint speculated that it had "stolen" the brothers' nutrients while they were in the mother's body.
And the reason why the extraordinary properties later drifted directly to the young mice, Gleilint had two guesses.
One is that the young rat was affected by extraordinary characteristics when they were in the womb, and they developed a certain bond with each other.
The second is that the extraordinary characteristics will leave the spiritual will of the original owner, and the spiritual obsession of the mother mouse should be to take care of the young mice!
As for which of the specific guesses is true, it is impossible to determine.
