"Mom, Dad, you guys..."
Santos made a "shh" gesture, and Aisley immediately shut up.
Then, Aisley's mother, Serena, took the pen from her daughter's hand, turned the back of the pen, and flicked it downwards.
Three black butterflies flew out and landed on the faces of the three people present.
After the butterflies landed, their wings spread open, forming a black light curtain that enveloped the heads of the three people.
This is a kind of communication method similar to black crows. It is more reliable and can transmit more information than black crows. It can also communicate over a certain distance. The only drawback is that the material is expensive.
Therefore, the priests of the Order of the Gods still prefer to directly pick up the magic paper or tear a piece of fabric from their robes to fold it into a black crow. They are not willing to use these butterflies.
Santos and Serena didn't have this with them because they didn't need this method of communication in the research institute on weekdays. They had dedicated assistants and beast messengers responsible for communication. But they knew their daughter had it.
At the moment, using this method of "communication" was actually the safest way.
Serena spoke, "Hoo... The bone age of that cat is nearly two hundred years."
Santos spoke, "The bone age of that dog is only eight years."
"In every strand of fur on that cat, I detected traces of fire attribute power. Although the quantity is very low, so low that it can almost be ignored, every strand has it, every single one!
Even top-tier beasts find it difficult to achieve this level, just like ordinary people cannot turn every part of their body into muscles.
This means that the cat I examined is currently in a weakened state, or deliberately suppressing its power in front of me. But its foundation is too perfect, it's hard to imagine what it would be like at its peak...
As a fire attribute beast, it can refine the power of fire attribute into every part of its body. No, it has already achieved the integration of fire attribute power with its body, even with its soul.
I can be sure that to some extent, it can be considered an existence that once stood at the peak of the fire attribute system."
Santos spoke, "The dog I examined has no abnormalities in its fur. It's just an ordinary dog."
Aisley stood aside, listening, but she didn't know what to say.
So, that black cat is not only an ordinary pet, but also a top-tier beast?
Thinking back to the intimate appearance of that black cat with Karun in front of her, she originally thought it was just the intimacy between a pet and its owner. But now, replacing that black cat with a top-tier beast, the scene and atmosphere instantly changed!
An intimate relationship between a top-tier beast and Karun?
Aisley also thought of Karun carrying an oil can step by step up the mountain during the selection process, and even staying behind to guard the gate. It was a kind of absolute and transcendent self-confidence.
Serena looked at her husband and asked, "Why do you look so pale?"
Santos swallowed his saliva and said, "The golden retriever I examined is indeed just an ordinary golden retriever, but have you ever seen a golden retriever with hundreds of seals from the Principle God Sect applied to it?"
At this point, Santos's emotions became visibly excited. "What kind of dog deserves to have hundreds of seals from the Principle God Sect applied to it? What kind of family would be willing to use hundreds of seals on a dog?"
Finally, Santos spread his hands and said, "I speculate that there is a soul worthy of such treatment sealed within that dog. The dog is just a container."
If Karun were in the workshop at this moment, if the three of them were not communicating through transmission, and if Karun heard their entire conversation, he would probably sincerely exclaim:
Impressive!
"I detected the soul fluctuations of my cat. Although the fluctuations are not strong, it took me a long time to hear the echo."
Aisley knew that this was a method of detecting the strength of a beast's soul, similar to throwing a stone into a pond and distinguishing it by the echo.
Both humans and beasts are the same. On the level of the soul and spiritual power, they can be compared to a pool of water or a reservoir. Weak fluctuations mean that the water surface is not high, and a long echo means that the reservoir itself is very deep.
Indirectly, it can be inferred how terrifying the foundation of this beast is when it is at its peak, when the reservoir is full!
Upon hearing this, Santos smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't hear the echo until I sent that dog away."
Serena widened her eyes.
Her husband's response only meant two possibilities.Either the dog is dead, but obviously the dog is alive, so this possibility can be directly ruled out.
Then the second and only possibility is left, standing by the reservoir of the dog and throwing a stone down... the stone never landed.
Serena asked, "What kind of dog did you check?"
My own cat can be compared to a top-level monster because all aspects of the test data can match, at least there is a source and analogy, and it can be found from the notes left by the previous generations of senior colleagues in the department that I have handled top-level monsters and browsed.
But the one my husband checked...
Santos said, "If I'm not mistaken, what I checked should be a... Golden Retriever?"
This seems like a ridiculous nonsense, but Serena knows that when it comes to her own professional field, her husband is notorious for not liking nonsense. The fact that he said this means that the shock in her husband's heart is many times higher than her own.
Santos continued, "Hundreds of seals from the Principle God Sect, and each seal is interconnected and merged without conflict. The difficulty of merging two seals is ten times that of a single seal... Hundreds of seals are superimposed and run harmoniously. I even suspect that the one who sealed this dog is an elder of the Principle God Sect... Only the top batch of the Principle God Sect can arrange such incredible seals!"
"Really... really?" Serena asked.
"The head of our department's formation group doesn't have this ability, and even the formation group head of the department above us, who is responsible for sealing the remnants of the fierce beasts, can't do it to this extent. I am sure.
The most important thing is that this dog is in good health. My god, it has hundreds of seals on its body!
It's like a person carrying more than a dozen mountains on his back, but still in good physical condition.
Putting everything aside, if this dog is sent to the department above us and they use it as a blueprint for research, they will definitely go crazy!
This dog is a living textbook, and it can even help the department open a new era of sealing the souls of fierce beasts!
If it is handed over to the Principle God Sect, no, even if the existence of this dog is revealed to the corresponding department of the Principle God Sect, the supervisors of that department will even come in groups and beg for this dog at any cost!
But,
just this,
is only the peripheral value of this dog.
You can't imagine what is sealed inside it and what it is that can match this kind of sealing treatment!"
"Aisli." Serena looked at her daughter, "Are those really Karun's two pets?"
"Yes... yes." Aisli was already scared by the content of her parents' conversation, and her words were almost crying.
I just saw them being affectionate towards Karun outside."
Santos and Serena glanced at each other.
Serena said, "To summarize the inspection results again, if my cat is not deliberately suppressing its power, it means that it is in a weak period. If it fully recovers, it will definitely be a top-level monster. Moreover, although it looks like an ordinary cat, I can't understand how it can show an unopened spiritual intelligence.
Oh, it's deceiving me!
Yes, it is impossible for it to not have opened its spiritual intelligence, but it behaves very ordinary. It has a high level of thinking, which means that its maturity of wisdom surpasses that of top-level monsters.
If a family with a belief system has this cat, the whole family only needs to spare no effort to complete the offering of this cat to restore its peak state. With this cat, it can drive a family!
In addition, I detected a door inside this cat's body."
"A door?" Santos asked in confusion, "A contract relationship?"
"Yes, I didn't dare to conduct a detailed investigation. I was afraid of arousing the cat's awareness, but I have a feeling that there is a door."
Santos gritted his teeth and said, "A symbiotic contract."
Serena was shocked for a moment, then nodded and said, "Guess who the signing object of the symbiotic contract is?"
This, there is no need to guess, because the answer is very obvious.
Serena took a deep breath and said to her daughter, "Aisli, you should thank him for not stopping you when you went up the mountain. An existence that can support a family's belief system alone has signed a symbiotic contract with him, just to support his own development."
"Mom, you don't have to tell me these things. I know I wouldn't have been his opponent at that time."
When her thoughts were extremely difficult and her mind was almost numb, that guy could still speak fluently and mercilessly mock her. At that time, the gap was already very obvious.Especially when he sat there, Aisley knew clearly that she would never be able to pass if the other party wanted to stop her.
Santos spoke, "I don't need to summarize my dog. This is not a target I can handle. I don't have the qualifications or the conditions. But there is one thing I want. The relationship between the Original Principle Sect and our Order Sect has always been good. According to our customs, both sides will find a partner from the other sect starting from the judge stage."
"The Original Principle Sect provides knowledge and experience support for our Order Sect, and we provide them with protection and the force needed to obtain materials. Maybe this kind of situation is rare in our system, but in my other systems, it is almost a default practice."
"So, what I'm thinking is, the Original Principle Sect member who can arrange hundreds of formations for that Golden Retriever, the corresponding partner from our sect..."
Serena spoke, "Is it someone from Karun's family?"
Santos continued, "Let's see the attitude of Chief Bishop Wofuren."
Serena said, "There is an elder in Karun's family."
The elder of the temple is a presence that surpasses all departments of various systems and is above the entire sect. It is said that the close bloodline of each elder's family can receive blessings from the Order.
Serena couldn't help but look at her daughter again. In this world, most mothers don't choose a son-in-law because they dislike poverty and love wealth, but because they consider their daughters. As someone who has been through a marriage, she knows clearly what they will encounter in life after the initial sweet feelings.
Perhaps wealth is no longer their concern. They care more about spiritual development, especially those who do research. The department's project funding approved every year needs to be fought for by each office. Research is a process that consumes resources.
If your background is big enough, no one dares to compete with you for funding and resources. You can even get additional approvals and obtain more favorable research conditions to put your ideas into practice.
Most importantly, this young man is very handsome.
Aisley seemed to perceive her mother's thoughts and immediately said, "He doesn't like me, I'm not pretty."
Serena sighed.
Santos said, "Stop thinking about these things all the time. Aisley's temperament is different from yours and mine. It's better for her to find a young person in the department in the future, preferably someone talented but without a background. This way, we can still watch them after they get married. Otherwise, I'm afraid her bad temper will lead to divorce within a few years."
As a father, he often sees things more clearly.
"Alright, it's time to go out. Adjust your mindset quickly. We know the background of the other party, but we must keep it confidential. The elders in Karun's family deliberately arranged this experience for him, and we don't need to get involved. Just take care of our own mouths."
"I understand, Dad."
Aisley knew that her father was talking to her.
"It's always good to build relationships. Regardless of his background, his talent itself will not be low in the future. This is not only for the final selection, not just for the subsequent entry into the Gate of Reincarnation, but also for the future, it will be beneficial."
Serena reminded, "Cultivation plan."
"Yes, follow the cultivation plan for top-level monsters. Deduct the cost of the supplements, reagents, and everything else from our allowance. It's worth it."
"Yeah, it's worth it."
Karun, who was waiting outside the workshop, had been waiting for the three people inside to come out.
Puerh in his arms was still somewhat dissatisfied. Although it deliberately disguised itself, being called an ordinary pet still made it feel unhappy. I can pursue simplicity, but you can't make me look shabby.
Alfred walked behind Karun and placed his hand on Karun's shoulder. His voice entered Karun's ears, "Young master, the telephone in the workshop didn't pick up any sound. I suspect they are secretly communicating using communication techniques. I think they may have discovered the unusualness of Puerh and Kevin."
Karun nodded and responded in his mind, "That's normal. They specialize in dealing with this kind of situation."
"Young master, will there be any accidents because of this?"
"No, I'm already used to it."
"Huh?" Alfred was stunned for a moment. "I'm dull and didn't understand what you meant, young master."
"Don't worry, they will imagine it themselves."
Karun lowered his head and glanced at the silver ring in his hand.
"When I want to climb higher and seek more development, it is inevitable that people will see something. But it's not a big problem as long as I don't say it myself. They will only think that my background is terrifying. Besides, my background is already terrifying."
After experiencing so many things, Karun felt that he had become somewhat accustomed to it.Both he and the captain were hiding, but they chose completely opposite paths.
The captain was accustomed to hiding in the darkness, keeping his true self invisible to all.
Karun, on the other hand, preferred to walk under the dim street lights, listening to the whispers about him from both sides, yet no one could see the face beneath his mask.
Before anyone slipped up, it was impossible to determine which path was better.
The door to the office was pushed open, and Santos walked out with his wife and daughter. He was holding two papers in his hand, which he handed to Karun.
Karun reached out to take them.
"These are the nurturing plans my wife and I have made for Mr. Karun's two pets. They should have a very good effect on their physical and spiritual nourishment and recovery."
Karun noticed the word "recovery".
At this moment, Kevin rubbed his head against Karun's leg.
Karun asked, "Excuse me, my dog's head hasn't grown hair for a long time, can this be treated?"
"That should be no problem. I've taken this phenomenon into account. If Mr. Golden Retriever, cough...
If you...
If you want your dog to look better, we can treat this."
"I'm really grateful, Mr. Santos, Mrs. Selina. If conditions permit during the final selection, I will help Esli."
Esli, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt inferior in front of Karun.
Santos didn't expect Karun to be so straightforward. He had a better impression of this young man and immediately said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Karun."
At this time, Mrs. Selina couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Karun, are you married?"
"I have a fiancée, ma'am." Karun immediately replied.
"Oh, is that so, congratulations."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Selina felt relieved.
"We won't disturb you any longer, we'll take our leave."
"I'll see you out."
Once they got into the car and drove off, Mr. Santos and Mrs. Selina both let out a sigh of relief, then slumped down in their seats.
After seeing off the Santos family, Karun returned to the study in the backyard.
Alfred took out a cup of upper clear liquid from the magic preservation cabinet. The extraction and purification had been completed, and the young master only needed to take it to obtain the "Heart of the Sea God".
Puerh rode in on Kevin and excitedly shouted:
"Little Karun, it's time to take your medicine!"
A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
