Extraordinary Sailing (Extraordinary Voyage)
Chapter 269: Click?
In the small restaurant on the battleship, the officers have gathered together to comfort the mood of going up and down like a roller coaster all day long with wine and meat.
The stock of supplies on the ship is now abundant, and the remaining officers and soldiers are qualified to reward themselves with a feast like a noble party.
"Your Captain is here!"
"Help the captain pour the wine."
Drinking the Chardonnay wine brought on board by Milan, enjoying various delicacies made of "shadow lizard" meat that the king has never seen before.
Although Chardonnay is more suitable for light food, but the rare and delicious ingredients of other worlds cover this small deficiency.
"To our greatest captain!"
"Yes! Your Excellency Irvine is of course the greatest captain!"
"Cheers!"
He gladly accepted the respect of the officers, but in his heart Ivan was thinking about these salted fishes who would only call "Captain 666", and no one could count on them at the critical moment.
Should I look farther and recruit some powerful men from outside the navy?
Although training from scratch can better ensure loyalty and know the roots, it is too slow to be effective.
Even the leader of the sailing line Vader and recruit Fleck still have a long way to go.
And even if they were able to complete the extraordinary transformation in the end, the two low-level formal knights might not be able to block the current one's sword, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.
After a full half an hour.
When Ivan, who was full of food and drink, took a toothpick in his mouth, and leisurely returned to the laboratory to prepare for acceptance of his "virgin work", the first shadow talisman.
Click! Click! ...
Standing outside the door, he heard unexpected noise in his laboratory.
"It seems... the sound of eating cookies?"
Irvine frowned. Which desperate **** on this boat dared to hide in his laboratory and eat cookies?
"It's so bold!"
Although most of your valuables are carried with you in your "magic pocket", some materials that are used in larger quantities or are more commonly used are still reserved in the laboratory.
There are even occasional experiments that fail, and weird things that I don't even know what effect will be temporarily stored. It may be of little value, but the danger is not small at all.
Not to mention, today there is the first "wild talisman" made by me in the laboratory that is undergoing an inspiring ceremony, which is related to the prerequisites for my promotion to a formal wizard, and it is of great significance to me!
Aiwen's face has sunk, and he has made up his mind to teach this daredevil a lifelong lesson!
Whoever it is!
Bang--
Pushing open the door of the room, it was completely dark inside, and the hanging wind chimes that acted as the light source did not know when they had all gone out.
But in the darkness, the chewing sound of "click" became louder and louder.
Snapped! Snapped!
Aiwen snapped his fingers two consecutive times but didn't see the hanging wind chimes light up again, thinking that the time without exposure to light was too long, the energy reserves were insufficient, and he didn't take it too seriously.
Because, although it was raining heavily with dark clouds outside, the slight light from the lightning gap was enough to make Ivan see everything in the cabin.
However, he would rather not see it.
The sound came from the workbench where the stimulating ceremony was going on.
A pure black lizard with a tail length of more than 40 cm is lying on it, holding "something" and gnawing with relish.
However, the so-called "something" is just Aiwen's self-deception. Only two things on the white ceramic countertop are black and black.
One is the lizard that did not know where it came from, and the other is the first "wild talisman" made by myself!
With the last hope in his heart, Irving rushed up.
He grabbed the lizard's long tail, lifted it up and shook it twice: "Ah! You bastard, hurry up and spit it out!"
But what was shaken off by him was the last bit held in the claws of the lizard... the residue!
The incompetent roar was completely venting, even if it was spit out, it was completely useless.
And the hanging wind chimes next to it weren't because they didn't have any energy reserves, but they were covered with traces of being bitten, and they had all been sacrificed heroically.
Boom! Boom! ...
Aiwen felt that the veins on his forehead could not stop beating.
He lowered his head and looked at each other with a pair of watery eyes.
innocent! Pathetic!
"Kaka..."
Being dragged by Aiwen by his tail and hanging upside down in the air, the little lizard struggled twice, opening his mouth and screaming uncomfortably.
Ivan saw its mouth full of broken triangular teeth, still gleaming in the dark. And just such a mouthful of teeth, even the spiritual vertical scales of an adult "shadow lizard" can chew like a biscuit.
Obviously it is definitely not ordinary in itself.
At this time, if Ivan couldn't guess where the living lizard came from, it would be too sorry for the wizard's keen senses.
The alcohol lamp had long been extinguished, the black lizard egg in the cauldron was gone, and even the egg shell disappeared cleanly.
There is no doubt that this hateful guy who ate his "wild talisman" is his own breakfast "white boiled egg".
"My poor first'wild talisman'! You only live a chapter... ahem, a meal!"
After silently mourning for his "wild talisman", Ivan threw the lizard he was carrying on the workbench.
"Crack..."
The newborn little lizard turned over dexterously and landed on the smooth ceramic table on all fours, tilting his head again and yelling at Aiwen.
At this time, Irvine knew that it would be useless anyway.
The first "wild talisman" made by myself was dead without a real experimental effect.
"However, I can't just leave it alone after eating mine."
Aiwen paced in front of the workbench, thinking about how to squeeze the value of a "wild talisman" from this newly born lizard.
After being pitted several times in the crow fair, his knowledge has grown. It has always been only Aiwen who takes advantage of others. When can a lizard take advantage of it?
Looking down at the "white boiled egg", he found that this little lizard was not afraid of life at all.
Follow your own footsteps, follow your steps on the workbench, walk from left to right and then from right to left.
Seeing Aiwen look over, he even raised his head and screamed happily.
"Huh? Is it so familiar?"
It was not until this time that Ivan finally calmed down completely and carefully observed the little lizard that caused himself a "significant loss".
The most striking thing is its black eyes that are absolutely different from the same kind. Compared with the red eyes of those adult lizards, these black eyes are obviously more agile and...pleasing to the eye.
Because Ivan himself has a pair of eyes of the same color.
Another point is that this little lizard has a flat body. It is said that it is like a lizard but more like a gecko. Its skin is smooth and scaleless, and there is no iguana on its back like a lizard of the iguana family.
If it weren't for it was lying on the very conspicuous white ceramic countertop, it was almost like a shadow in itself, and it would ignore the past if you didn't pay attention.
It's just that other physical features are no different from other "shadow lizards". Sharp teeth, sharp claws, long tail.
I don't know if it is due to mutation, or the juvenile stage of the shadow lizard itself is this way?
"But, is this guy the offspring of the ordinary shadow lizards, or the offspring of the giant lizards like giant beasts?"
Touching his chin, as a wizard of the "living chemistry school", he is a half biologist himself, and he is very interested in this kind of biological problem.
Aiwen then made a rough estimate based on the ratio of crocodile eggs to adult crocodile body length. Normally, if you add a giant reptile with a tail of about 30 meters in length, the eggs that lay must be close to one meter in length.
However, this guy's egg that was only a volleyball before hatching is too big for an ordinary two-meter-long shadow lizard, but it is too small for a giant lizard.
"Isn't he an abandoned freak?"
In fact, what Ivan didn't know was that the "black dike" they had encountered before was the concentrated spawning ground for this group of shadow lizards.
At this time, they will rush to the ring-shaped volcanic island from all directions of the archipelago to participate in the "blind date meeting" and use the unique geographical conditions of the volcanic island to incubate offspring.
This explains what Aiwen and the others have seen, seemingly far beyond the environmental carrying limit.
In fact, the giant lizards were hiding by the hot springs beneath the volcanic islands and reefs, using the special conditions there to hatch their normal eggs.
If you analyze it from Aiwen's perspective.
Most of the so-called "demonized creatures" were originally changed by the mysterious factors that are ubiquitous in this world, and later slowly formed a group that can reproduce stably.
It's normal for individuals in the group of "demonized creatures" to have reversion or secondary mutations.
However, the little lizard's parents obviously don't think so.
Neither big nor small, but as a freak, this lizard egg was left alone. It was accidentally discovered by Milan again, and it became the fuse to spot anomalies on the island in advance!
The "white boiled eggs" made by Aiwen just met the hatching conditions of this shadow lizard, and accidentally hatched the abandoned little guy.
"However, our'living chemistry school' is not afraid of blame!"
After being a formal wizard, various "biological transformation techniques" can be used, including: blood initiation rituals, contract monsters, blood transplants, and so on.
Even if only the small lizards reach the 30-meter body length of those large lizards in the end, like the small Godzilla, it is a big profit!
Let it hide in the shadow~lightnovelpub.net~ is a small, portable sea monster, and it will only be more difficult than the sea monster!
Even if the cultivation fails, the size can only be maintained at about two meters for a small lizard, and it can be used as a "true ghost lizard shadow thief" and a cameo as a shadow killer.
It shouldn't be a loss no matter what.
Staring at the little lizard, a smile finally appeared on Aiwen's face.
He, who was already preparing for the official wizard, just needed such a "voluntary" dedicated test product.
"Ka Ka?"
The little lizard didn't realize the bad intentions in Aiwen's eyes. It might be because Aiwen was the first creature he saw after opening his eyes, and he was born with a sense of closeness.
Tilted his head and called to Aiwen.
"Yes, yes. Did you agree? Well, I should give you a name.
According to the general rule of pet naming, since you are completely black, then call you...Kaka! "
