    Chapter 46 Tentacle Monster 10 Simulating the Seabed

    The next morning.

    Merik, who had been excited all night, had already crawled beside Ewell, waiting for the human to wake up.

    Last night, Ewell said that he had prepared a surprise for Merik. This news made the little tentacle monster get up early and wait.

    “Gulu, gulu, gulu…”

    Why aren’t you awake yet…

    Being urged as soon as he opened his eyes, Evel pinched the small tentacle in his hand helplessly: “Are you looking forward to it so much?”

    “Goo!”

    Half an hour later, Ewell finally carried Merik into the surprise room.

    Pushing the door open and seeing the decoration in the room, Merrick exclaimed in surprise: “Wow, it’s actually the bottom of the sea?”

    There was a large simulated seabed in front of him. It was no wonder that Merik was surprised, even Evel didn’t expect it.

    The entire seabed is as big as a basketball court. At a glance, the water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see every part of the seabed. The polished reefs are arranged in various natural shapes, and some are even shaped like tunnels, allowing small octopuses to shuttle freely within the reefs.

    There are brightly colored coral bushes at regular intervals, and there are even shelters suitable for octopuses to survive. Healthy seaweed growing around them is fluttering with the simulated water flow.

    Ewell: “Do you like it?”

    “I like it.” Merik’s eight tentacles were beating wildly in Evel’s hand: “Is this for Merik himself?”

    “Of course, I can’t stay at the beach forever. I hope you like it here.”

    “I like it! Thank you, Yinwei! I like it very much.” Merik kicked his tentacle legs, pushed away Evel’s palm, and wanted to get into the water.

    “Go.” Ewell slowly put it into the sea water.

    The small tentacles slowly stretched into the sea water to feel the cold water.

    Plop——

    Water splashed everywhere.

    Awell’s face was filled with a soft smile. He picked up the handkerchief at his side and wiped his palms wet with sea water.

    Xibai was very well prepared. The underwater items were consistent with the seabed. Even the seawater was filtered every day, and all objects were cleaned every once in a while. This seabed was not big, but it was enough for Merik to live and grow up here.

    After being away from the bottom of the sea for half a month, Merik missed the feeling of being immersed in the sea water very much.

    The cold seawater is like a nutrient solution. It keeps rolling on the seabed, weaving through secret passages in the smooth rocks, and then quickly dives and sinks to the seabed before swimming slowly to the shore.

    Until it floated ashore again, Ewell spoke to stop it from continuing its dive: “Merik, I’m going to take care of things. You play here, okay?”

    A few years ago, Ayita delegated most of his power and handed over most affairs to him.If Evel hadn’t been too young and unbecoming of etiquette, Aeta would have given away the throne.

    During the month I left, there was probably a mountain of things that needed to be dealt with in the study.

    “Gulu.” Okay.

    Merik’s body was half out of the water.

    “Xi Bai will stay with you and play again when you are full.”

    Xibai smiled and waved towards the little tentacle monster on the bottom of the sea.

    “Gulu~” Merrick nodded heavily.

    Merik turned around gracefully and dived into the bottom of the sea to have a great time.

    Seeing Merik having fun, Ewell stood up and handed over Xibai, then opened the door and left the room.

    Tanggre was waiting in front of the palace in a convenient knight uniform. He leaned sideways and chatted with a knight. When he saw Ewell coming out, he immediately greeted him and handed over an envelope with the seal of Feisley’s Second Legion: “Your Highness, this is a letter from Captain Huosili.”

    “Notify me directly next time.” Ewell took the envelope.

    Huosili has been investigating Faloran’s laboratory for a month, and there are only two letters sent including the birds’ notes received in the field. It is very difficult to enter the interior of Faloran, and he is not a person who is in a hurry, but this information is very important.

    He must make Faroran’s laboratory completely disappear from this world in order to ensure Merik’s future.

    Tanggre did come over immediately, but he met Xiu Qi on the way and was delayed for some time. He quickly said: “Yes.”

    Xiuqi was the man beside Tanggre. He saluted and said: “Your Highness.”

    Ewell said calmly: “How is the situation in the town?”

    Xiu Qi is the leader of the Third Knights. He led the Third Knights to deal with vicious beasts in a remote town in Fislie a few months ago.The reason is that unknown ferocious beasts have appeared in the forest near the town and have repeatedly attacked residents and poultry. However, the knights in the town were limited to one manpower and could not completely deal with it, so they had to contact the main city.

    The leader of the chess repair team said: “It has been completely dealt with, but… we found these ferocious beasts to be very strange.”

    Ewell raised his eyes to look at him, neatly folded the finished letters and put them into Tanggre’s hands: “Go back and talk.”

    “Yes.”

    The upper floor of the main hall is where Ewell’s father lives, and the largest side of the first floor is the main hall, followed by the compartments for handling affairs.His study is in the second room.

    It could be said that it is a study room, but it is better to say that it is the room where Evel studied when he was young. He has stayed here just out of habit.

    It was not renovated until he grew up, and the room looked extremely retro. Behind his desk was a wall of neatly arranged books, which looked very spectacular.Every book has been read many times.

    The sun shone through several crystal windows, illuminating the entire study. Evel’s silver hair shone in the sun, and his purple eyes were cold and bright.

    He sat elegantly on the leather sofa. Once he entered the state, his innate temperament and coercion made them unable to help but restrain their posture.

    “The ferocious beasts on the edge of the town are not the same carnivores, but a group of strange rabbits.” Xiu Qi placed a portrait on the table.

    Drawn in the drawing is a black rabbit.

    Its mouth was wide open, and the teeth that leaked out were not common rabbit teeth, but sharp fangs that looked like sharks. A pair of scary scarlet rabbit eyes seemed to be about to pop out. One of its ears was black and hung on the side of its face. The other ear seemed to have been bitten off by some large animal, and it had been swallowed alive, leaving only an irregular broken mark at the base of the ear.

    Not only is this not a normal rabbit, but the drawing alone shows how terrifying this rabbit is.

    It is standing, standing upright like a human being.

    Tanggre couldn’t help but pick up the drawing. He was so surprised that he kept saying: “Are you sure this is a real rabbit?! It looks more like a mutated animal from horror stories.”

    If Xiu Qi was not the leader of the Third Knights, Tangere would suspect that the person in front of him had heard too many stories.

    Xiuqi’s tone was firm, and he recounted his experience of searching for these rabbits in the past few months: “They are very cunning. They usually only appear in groups late at night, and they are very vicious. They will attack humans and animals when they see them. The fangs can easily bite food. The size is more than double that of ordinary rabbits. It is very troublesome to handle. During this period, two knights were seriously injured…”

    As he said that, he took out another drawing: “This is the pattern found on the rabbits later, but the pattern is too blurry. We found no useful information, so we can only draw the pattern.”

    When Xiuqi thought of his seriously injured and unconscious comrades, he wanted to smash those rabbits to pieces. He was the leader of the Third Knights of Feisley. His strength was obvious to all. He originally took the task of dealing with the ferocious beasts as a vacation. Unexpectedly, he also included a few knights.

    Almost all the way, I blamed myself for being too conceited.

    Ewell’s eyes fell on the pattern, and his vision dimmed: “I don’t blame you for this. No one would have thought that this is a group of mutant animals.”

    This picture was exactly the same as the pattern he saw on Merik in his previous life.

    Sure enough it was him…

    Mutated animals?!Tanggre opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he slowly closed his mouth and said nothing more.

    Octopuses can leave the sea water and climb trees to pick fruits. It doesn’t seem surprising that rabbits mutate.

    Just…

    “Merrick is different.” Evel paused for a second, “These rabbits are defective products developed by Faloran.”

    Damon Lin threw the animals that failed the experiment into the depths of Fisli’s forest and left them to fend for themselves. Unexpectedly, these animals were able to walk out of the forest and enter a nearby town.

    This didn’t happen in my last life.

    No, maybe it happened, but I didn’t care about those animals at the time.

    It’s very common for ferocious beasts to come out of the forest. If it weren’t for the fact that the hired knights couldn’t kill all the rabbits, then Xiu Qi wouldn’t be sent out to deal with this matter.

    Only Eita, Ewell and the heads of these knights knew about the affairs of the institute. The expressions of Tanggre and Xiuqi suddenly became a little colder.

    Ewell pointed at the drawing: “Find a painter to make a copy and send it to Huosili.”

    Merik’s existence cannot be hidden for a lifetime, unless it is locked in a dark secret room forever like Damon Lin.

    But he didn’t want to do that.

    Merik should live happily in the sun.

    Then Damon Lin can only disappear.

    “Yes.” Xiu Qi stood up and left the study.

    Huosili’s team could only find weak information in the small towns outside Damon Forest. If they could not obtain a suitable identity in the short term, they would not be able to enter the main city of Faloron.

    Regardless of Ewell, there is no intention to let the Second Legion enter Faloron. It would be too risky.

    Husili’s letter stated that the residents of Farollon believed that the mutated pets came from an “animal trainer” in the main city.

    It is said that this animal trainer can change the character of a pet, make ferocious animals become very docile, and can also change the appearance of the pet. Not only the nobles of Farallon, but also the nobles of other countries are spending a lot of money to reserve the pets they want from this animal trainer.

    “Your Highness, the rabbit is a ‘pet’ that failed in Faloron’s experiment, and could it be that what the nobles ordered was a successful experiment?” Tanggre gritted his teeth angrily.

    None of them knew exactly what Faloran’s experiment was studying.

    “Not really.”

    At best they can be considered sane animals, but those rabbits have gone crazy.

    Except for this group of rabbits in the previous life, there were no other vicious beasts hurting people in Feisley or other countries. This can also prove that Damon Lin no longer needs those mindless animals after acquiring Merik.

    But this time, there may be more than one injury incident.

    “I will talk to my father about this matter. Next month is the celebration, and all the knights in the town will be divided into two teams to patrol alternately.” Evel stood up and walked to the desk.

    “Yes.” Tanggre left the study without any delay.

    Silence returned to the study room.

    Faced with a mountain of affairs, Ewell picked up a letter with a blank expression and started working.

    Merik, who was playing at the beach, ate all the fried meat one bite after another.

    It imitated Ewell’s gesture and wiped its small mouth slowly.

    Xibai was so cute that he almost fainted due to its cute movements. He almost resisted the urge to pick it up and kiss it fiercely. He sat on the side and admired the movements of the little tentacle monster.

    Merik put the handkerchief into the tray beside Xi Bai, and wanted to pick up the dinner plate and put it into the tray but was stopped by Xi Bai.

    “Xiao Momo, let me come.” Xi Bai quickly brought the dinner plate over.

    It wants to smell bad. Merik looked at Xibai: “Gulu, Gulu, Gulu…” Brother Xibai, can you take me to find the smelly thing?

    Merik’s little tentacles kept making patterns. Xibai guessed a few in succession, but he was always shaking his head.

    Xibai couldn’t help but think for a while and then said: “I can’t guess what you mean, otherwise, why don’t we ask His Highness?”

    The little head nodded wildly.

    “So you want to go find His Highness, do you want me to carry you there?”

    “You have to crawl into my hand.”

    “Little Mo Mo is so cold and so cute.”

    Merrick: …

    In just a few hours, most of the hill in front of Ewell has been dealt with.

    There are a lot of things, but not many things that really need him to deal with. The only thing that needs to be prepared is the celebration next month.

    Fisli holds a celebration every year. It is said to be a celebration, but in fact it is more like a gathering where all countries reach a friendly consensus. The purpose of the celebration is to welcome all countries to enter Fisli to participate in the party.

    During this period, not only Feisli will usher in a more lively celebration than the New Year, but people from other countries can also enter Feisli to visit.

    If a ferocious beast attacks during this period, things will become troublesome.

    Ewell put down the quill in his hand and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

    I don’t know what Merik will do now. Thinking about how excited that heartless little tentacle was when he was about to leave, I don’t know if he has eaten yet.

    He has indeed changed. Ewell never considered this before. After spending time with Merik, his personality gradually changed.

    “Gulu gulu, gulu gulu.” Brother Xibai, are we there yet?

    A familiar voice entered the study, and Evel’s fatigue was swept away.

    Xibai, who was walking through the corridor outside the door, scratched his head and replied in a voice full of doubts: “Xiao Momo, I don’t understand, but we are almost there. Do you see that door? That is the study room where His Highness handles affairs. We have to knock on the door to enter.”

    The voice got closer and finally stopped in front of the study door.

    “Grrrrrrrr?” What is knocking?

    The corners of Ewell’s mouth rose and he stood in the door without making any move.

    Merik was held in his hands and carried to the door by Xi Bai.

    It thought for a second with its little head, then slowly raised its small black tentacles and knocked twice on the wooden door.

    “Dong dong——”

    It turned to look at Xibai, confused and puzzled.

    “Gulu gulu?” Is that so?

    The author has something to say: Merik (with aggrieved face):?It smells bad and you won’t open the door for me [crying]

    Although I still haven’t finished the second chapter, the number of words is pretty decent… [changed]
