Chapter 314: Inquiry
"Mi-——! Mi-"
Jiang Yan looked at the slime who jumped in front of him happily like a leather ball, and his mood at the moment was simply a hundred MMPs that needed to be vented.
An elf envoy, according to his own strength and qualifications, the total number of elves that can be contracted is more or less, but no matter how strong the elf is, there will be an upper limit on the number of contract elves.
Because the elves need to enter into the most intimate contractual relationship with the elves. The most typical contract of symbiosis and mutual assistance, the elves need to provide spiritual power to the elves of their own contract to grow, and at the same time, the spiritual power that can support the elves in battle is also limited.
Even if it's a forced servitude-type contract that is more favorable to the elves, this is no exception.
The more elves that have been contracted, the more difficult it will be for the elves to contract with new elves, after all, it will cause a situation where there are more monks and less porridge. Rather than finding a deed owner who has little spare time to cultivate himself, it is better to be loyal to a more dedicated person.
Of course, if the elves are strong enough to make their own abilities strong, and the little power they have allocated is enough to meet the needs of the new elves, then this is the exception.
It's a pity that Jiang Yan knows that he is far from reaching that point.
So......
"Squeak ......"
The phantom fox, which was still obediently squatting in the ritual array, shook its little head, it looked at Jiang Yan, and then at a certain slime that stuck to him again, and rolled its eyes in its cyan eyes very humanely.
"Wait, it's this guy who did it without permission—"
Jiang Yan hurriedly wanted to keep it, but unfortunately the phantom fox was not interested, and the little guy directly turned into a ball of spiritual light and dispersed, and returned to the elven world with the help of the ritual connection.
"......" Jiang Yan twitched the corners of his mouth and was silent for a moment, looking at the ritual circle that had exhausted his energy and completely dimmed, his face was indescribably gloomy.
"Mi-"
Jiang Yan felt the top of his head sink slightly, and a soft spherical creature jumped up again without authorization.
Although it is undeniable that the body of this little guy gives people a really good touch, soft and warm and elastic, the surface is smooth and delicate like a girl's skin without the slightly disgusting wet stickiness of ordinary slimes, but it is also very good when used as a toy.
But Jiang Yan still felt angry in an instant—this thing had taken over the position of the initial elf that was extremely important to him!
With both hands moving together, Jiang Yan grabbed the slime from the top of his head with all his might, and his fingers pressed both sides of it fiercely, pulling hard.
"Mi ——?"
The body was forced to grow like a rubber band with Jiang Yan's strength, and the slime dissatisfiedly squeezed out wisps of air from his body, simulating the cry of an unknown cute animal, trying to shrink his body back to its original state.
Jiang Yan angrily pulled it more than a meter long at once, and then tied it in a frenzy.
However, because the body is not solid and has a retractable elasticity, blunt physical attacks have a very poor effect on a creature like a slime, and with the little strength of Jiang Yan's **-year-old child, it really can't cause any damage to it.
The knots are meaningless to them, just like kneading dough, and the slime's body that has been pulled into a folded 'rope' directly blends into one, and suddenly returns to its original round spherical shape.
Jiang Yan had to stop this futile act of venting his anger, sighed, and let the little guy jump back on top of his head again.
'Damn...... Now that it's pointless, there's no point in dwelling on regrets again, so I'll have to wait until later to think of a way......
If an elf envoy is really unhappy with his elf, there are two ways to solve it -
First, kill the elf directly.
However, this is the least desirable method. Because of the close contractual connection between each other, if the elves of the symbiotic relationship die, it will cause a very serious backlash to the elves, and at the least will also cause the soul to be damaged, and the worst will be buried together!
Even if it is a servile contract, the deed owner will inevitably suffer a lot of backlash, and it may not be much for those powerful veteran elven envoys, and they will survive after a while of patience and recuperation. But for a novice elf like Jiang Yan, who is only ** years old, he can't afford that kind of injury!
Therefore, there is a second method, with the help of external forces. For example, use a precious item that has the effect of breaking the soul contract, or ask someone who is proficient in this art to help.
It's a pity that no matter what kind of external force is used, there is no doubt that there is a high price, Jiang Yan doesn't know if the research institute with the support of the empire has the props to break the contract or can find the connections of the master of contract cancellation, but no matter what, it is impossible to use it on a mere experimental subject like him!
So, I can only rely on myself.
After the summoning ceremony ended, the researcher not far away immediately came up and questioned Jiang Yan.
"213, what the hell is going on?, did you really contract this slime?!"
Jiang Yan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "Uh, sir, it was this guy who intercepted my contract technique without authorization......
"Whatever the reason, the result is that you, who always ranked first in the experimental competition in the past and occupied the best cultivation resources in the research institute, are now only a slime, right?"
A bland voice with a hint of coldness came over, making Jiang Yan feel excited when he heard it, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.
Turning his head, he saw that Dr. Lukes, the most senior head of the institute, was standing behind him, looking at him with a cold light in his narrowed eyes, and from time to time he glanced at the slime lying on top of him.
"Mi!!" As if sensing some kind of danger, the little guy's body trembled obviously, and then he snorted, and his spirit body turned directly into a ball of white light, and suddenly got into Jiang Yan's body and hid.
Jiang Yan felt more and more that the IQ of this little thing didn't seem to be at the level of ordinary slimes.
"Oh, interesting reaction...... Dr. Luxs also seemed a little surprised, ordinary slimes don't have such obvious perception and quick dodging of danger.
Then, he ordered, as a matter of course, "No. 213, you can introduce this little guy's racial ability. ”
Rashly asking about the ability of other people's contract elves, in the outside world, is like asking a stranger for a life-saving hole card at the bottom of the box, which is a very taboo thing.
However, in this institute, Dr. Lux has the highest authority, and his orders are not something that can be refuted by Jiang Yan now.
Jiang Yan could only carefully sense it through the contract, and then replied honestly: "...... There is only one, "mimicry" - the effect is that you can freely change your own 'color' and 'shape'. ”
