    Chapter 38 Will you come with me?”Gulu!” Go!…

    Merik has super healing power. During the two years that he was imprisoned in the laboratory in his previous life, almost every day and every moment, experimenters would hold the handle of a knife and cut off tissues and tentacles from its body.

    Inside the huge glass window of the laboratory, the tentacle monster, which was taller than a human, had lost all its tentacles. It was tied with thick chains. One end of the chain was nailed to the top of the surrounding wall, and the other end was buried firmly into its body, piercing into its flesh and blood.

    It’s a mutated octopus, a tentacle monster to be precise.His skin was dark, his appearance was special, and his eyes were fierce. He looked nothing like an ordinary octopus, and his blood was naturally different. The blood was as black as ink, like a piece of ground ink.

    Merik’s gray eyes had long lost their former brilliance and became hollow and profound.

    Ewell couldn’t help but think of that depressing scene, a photo he saw when reading Merik’s background information.

    A month before Merik escaped from the lab, his tentacles had never been intact.

    The system’s message was short and sounded like a story, but these were Merik’s darkest two years.

    When Ewell was stabbed to death by Damon Lin, he had no emotions in his heart except surprise and confusion. As the future king of a country, the only education he received since childhood was the inviolability of the superior and the success of the king and the defeat of the bandit.

    But he lost.

    Because he didn’t see through Damon Lin’s disguise, he paid with his life.

    The next second, Ewell’s thoughts were interrupted.

    “Your Highness, the sea water is rising very fast. You’d better not go over there.” Captain Tanggre walked quickly to Ewell’s side. He also noticed the black object floating in the sea.

    Tanggre observed it for two seconds before finally confirming that the black object was a living thing. Even though Feisili Country was not close to the sea and there were almost no fresh sea fish, he knew that it was not a normal creature because the tentacles were covered with black and pink suckers.

    “Is this an octopus?” Tanggre hesitated for a second and then said: “Your Highness, do you want me to catch it?”

    Ewell’s feet were only one step away from the seawater, and it didn’t even take a few minutes for the seawater to soak through his boots.

    Those amethyst-like eyes looked a little dim under the dusk. His words were low and powerful, making people unable to refuse:

    “No, I’ll go by myself.”

    His silver hair was blown by the sea breeze and filled with color by the warm dusk. He walked unhurriedly towards the tentacle monster not far away.

    The black leather boots were filled with cold sea water.

    The water completely submerged Ewell’s knees.

    Merik was hit by the waves and drank a lot of sea water. His stomach was very bloated and he couldn’t help but start spitting out water: “Gulu gulu——”

    Within half an hour, it had drunk several times.

    Many bubbles suddenly appeared around the little octopus. It was the first time for Ewell to see an octopus blow bubbles, and he was a little surprised.

    Captain Tangere’s eyes jumped when he saw His Highness entering the sea water. Although he knew in his heart that Evel’s strength would not pose any danger, the rumored sea was capable of swallowing everything and was very dangerous.

    He focused almost all of his attention on Ewell, praying that nothing unexpected would happen to the prince.

    Merik spit out the excess water and air in his stomach, and raised his eight tentacles back at the same time, wanting to eject again towards the shore. Unexpectedly, what stopped him this time was not the waves, but a pair of hands.

    Human hands.

    The little black octopus was no bigger than a hand, and its eight tentacles were no more than ten centimeters. It was easily stopped by Evel.

    “Gululu?” Merik’s light gray eyes looked at the human being magnified dozens of times in front of him.

    There is a human being in front of it!

    The shells on the seabed are right, you can really see people when you swim out.

    However, humans are so strange, they are different from fish and shrimps.

    Ewell placed his hands in front of Merik. When he saw the little octopus looking up at him, he slowly retracted his hand. He originally wanted to hold Merik up directly, but considering that the octopus in front of him had independent consciousness and was afraid of scaring it, he simply gave up.

    You still need to have a good relationship with the mission target.

    who are you?

    Evel was surprised for a second that it could understand what Merik said.The silver-haired prince smiled softly and rolled his eyes. His voice was cold and tender, but it could not conceal his innate majesty: “My name is Evel.”

    Ewell paused for a second. How should he introduce himself to Merik?After thinking for a while, he said again: “Are you willing to come with me?”

    Tanggre stared at the man and the octopus in front of him with his eyes wide open.Who can tell him whether his prince has been taken away?Introducing yourself to an octopus with no IQ?!

    The surrounding knights also looked at the scene in front of them in surprise.

    After all, Prince Ewell has never been interested in anything other than government affairs.

    What are humans saying?What does off-flavor mean?

    Merik didn’t understand, his light gray eyes were full of doubts.

    Merik: “Gulu gulu.” I don’t understand.

    Ewell’s eyes darkened. He could indeed understand Merik’s words. This was most likely due to the system.

    Also, how can the ending be changed if he cannot communicate with Merik.

    How did Damon Lin win Merik’s heart in his last life?He couldn’t understand Merik’s language but he could still capture the tentacle monster’s heart. This shows that Merik is really very simple, and Evel has a certain idea in his heart.

    Perhaps because he didn’t respond for a long time, the little octopus was knocked away by the waves again.

    “Gulu! Gulu! Gulu!” Merik was hit by the waves and rolled over many times.

    Fortunately, the distance was not too far. Just when Ewell was about to step forward and fish it out, he saw the little octopus sinking to the bottom of the sea and shaking dizzy. Its eight tentacles were waving randomly in the water as if they had no backbone.

    An octopus was knocked unconscious by a huge wave.

    Ewell curled up his lips. He didn’t hear clearly what the little octopus said, but he could roughly guess that it was some angry words.

    Merik didn’t understand what humans were laughing at. He shook his dizzy head and slowly swam up from the bottom of the sea.

    “Your Highness, it’s getting dark, come up quickly.” Tanggre couldn’t wait to go down and carry Ewell ashore.

    Ewell looked up into the distance.

    The setting sun has mostly buried itself into the coastline, and the sky is indeed much darker than just now. It won’t be long before it is completely dark.

    When Merik sank to the bottom, Ewell almost missed its location, and after some delay, he lost sight of it completely.If the little octopus had no independent thoughts, Ewell would have grabbed it and carried it away, but for the task, he still needed to put in some effort: “Are you willing to follow me?”

    Merik couldn’t understand. He could only understand the word “go”. After a while, the little octopus nodded: “Gulu!” Go!

    Wherever it goes, where it goes, that is not something that this little octopus needs to think about.

    It’s going to the human world!

    “Okay, you crawl into my hand.” Evel has never had a pet since he was a child, and he has never had the slightest interest in pets. On the contrary, Evel’s father felt that he was too cold-blooded and gave him a few small fish.

    Fish have a short lifespan and die easily. Even if the maid takes good care of him, he will not survive for long. He is not sure whether he can raise Merik well.

    The little octopus seemed to understand this sentence. All eight of his tentacles were waving, and the black and pink suction cups gently rested on Evel’s fingers. As Merik moved, the suction cups gently separated from his skin.

    Evel silently watched the scene in front of him. The octopus’s sucker can bite people, but not only was there no redness or swelling in his palm, there was not even a trace of strangeness in it, because Merik’s movements were really too light.

    It has known not to harm humans since birth, and Evel was a little surprised.

    Merik was so small that almost the entire octopus nest fit into his hand and there was still some space left.

    Ewell originally thought that the touch of an octopus would be sticky and full of mucus, but he did not expect that Merik’s skin was very dry and not sticky at all. The only thing that matched the touch of an undersea creature was its body temperature.

    It seemed as if what he was holding in his hands was not Merik, but a huge lump of ice.

    “Gulu!” Let’s go!

    The little octopus raised a tentacle and pointed to the shore not far away.

    The knight held a heavy blanket in his hand and put it directly on Evel to keep him warm when he came ashore. During this period, he carefully looked at Merik twice. It was not until the little octopus started to grunt that he realized what was wrong with him. Fortunately, His Highness did not blame him.

    On the way back to Libenyan town, Ewell kept it in the lapel of his chest, and did not take out Merik even when it was soaked through.

    Tanggre followed him on horseback, feeling extremely complicated at the moment.He kept recalling the late night a few days ago, when His Highness unusually asked to see the sea. He traveled for dozens of days and came here to pick up a strange octopus. During this period, not only did the octopus talk to him, but he also let an undersea creature escape from the sea water.

    The scariest thing is – this octopus actually responds!

    Ewell didn’t know whether the octopus could escape from the sea, but he knew in his heart that Merik could definitely do it.The photo of Merik tied to the research table was still imprinted in his mind. Not to mention the lack of sea water, there was very little food around it.

    “GuluGulu?” What’s wrong with you?

    Evel subconsciously lowered his head, and the little octopus was looking up at him with a pair of light gray eyes.

    It senses that human emotions are wrong, but it doesn’t understand what the emotions mean.

    “I’m fine.” Ewell couldn’t explain why he was affected by this emotion. Although he didn’t hurt anyone in the past, he never considered anyone.

    The little octopus nodded as if he understood. He used his tentacles to coil himself into a ball. If he accidentally sucked in a human, he would use his tentacles to gently pat the accidentally injured area.

    It is afraid of hurting humans. If it hurts, humans will not play with it. This is the case with small fish and shrimps on the bottom of the sea.

    Ewell felt Merik’s movements without making a sound.

    Night fell completely, and the knights entered the town just before it closed.Under the dark night, warm yellow lanterns were hung up in some shops in the town. There were few pedestrians on the gravel road, and the remaining people were all on their way home.

    Captain Tangere waved his hand to the knight behind him: “Ben, you go find a shop where you can live.”

    Ben was the knight who entered the town today to ask for directions. He said, “Yes, Captain.” After saying that, he rode towards the store he remembered.

    After a while, the sound of horse hooves returned towards the knights.

    “Your Highness, Commander, please let me lead the way.”

    The Knights often go out and naturally accept any environment, but because there is Prince Ewell in the team, even if he is not picky about where he lives, he cannot handle it casually.

    I was looking for the busiest hotel in this town.

    The hotel is a three-story building, and the best rooms are on the third floor.

    Merik no longer kept himself together when he entered the town. His eyes almost turned into circles. Everything in the town was a scenery he had never seen before.

    After entering the room, Ewell took a look around. There was no moldy smell in the room and the bed was neat and clean. Then he put Merik on the soft bed and said, “You play here for a while, and I’ll get some food.”

    Merik tilted his head to understand what he said, and then nodded: “Gulu.” Okay.

    As Ewell moved, the little octopus crawled forward for a short distance, and finally stopped at the window and looked straight at him. It didn’t wilt down until he closed the door.

    “Dear guest, the hot water you requested has been prepared. Do you need help carrying it in?” It was a woman wearing a white skirt and an apron. She was a live-in maid.

    In order to get close to the little octopus, almost his entire body was submerged in sea water, and he was in urgent need of hot water to keep away the cold.But Ewell still shook his head: “Just put it here.”

    He didn’t want more people to see Merik and cause trouble. He was here and could only trust the Knights.

    In his previous life, he died in Faloron because he arranged for the Knights to go rescue the residents of Faloron. In addition, he turned his back to Damon Lin and observed Merik’s body without any defense, which led to the tragedy.

    Ewell put away his thoughts and said again: “Please prepare some more food for me, and…” He paused and then said: “Some small pieces of raw fish.”

    “Okay.” The maid knew that the man in front of her was an unusual person, so she naturally did not ask why raw fish was needed. Instead, she turned around and went downstairs to prepare food.

    Ewell lifted the hot water bucket and pushed open the door.

    The door opened.

    Merik paused when he wanted to cut off his tentacles to track humans. The moment he saw Evel, his dim eyes lit up and he kept mumbling.

    “You’ve been gone for a long time!”
