Giving yourself more room for choice is a good habit that every breeder should have.
In the study, Dean continued to review his breeding ideas, while on the other side, Leina and the others finally staggered back to the house with the wounded.
Like two pieces of rotten meat, Alpha and Wilmer, who were leaning on Shui Ling's shoulders, had not yet recovered. Leinna tugged the ears of one and pinched the face of the other, with the force ranging from light to heavy, leaving There were several red marks, but no matter how much they were rounded and flattened, neither of them had any reaction.
She looked up at the sky, sighed, put on her apron and walked into the kitchen.
It was obviously a bit late to prepare dinner at this time. In order to save trouble, Leinna did not cook too rich dishes. After simply combining the ingredients Wilmer left, she threw them into the pot hastily.
Worried that such a random combination would lead to food poisoning, she specially carried Garfield over and walked around in front of the pot. After confirming that the cat's face showed only disgust and no resistance, Leinna felt relieved.
At least this meal shouldn't kill anyone.
That's enough.
Smelling the aroma coming from the pot, the expression on Leina's face relaxed a lot. She sniffed and smiled proudly.
"Children, it's time to eat!"
Wash your hands, Leina said loudly.
"Because the original chef, Mr. Wilmer, is still in a coma, today's chef is your dear sister Leinna..."
Leina, who was holding the kitchen utensils, stuck her head out. Before she could finish her words, she frowned due to the fishy smell coming from Lucy and Ronan.
"OMG!"
She pinched her nose and said disgustedly in an off-key voice.
"What did you two do? Dig a hole and dump the body? This smell of blood..."
"Does it smell strong?"
Lucy smelled her and her brother's clothes and found that they did smell. She took Ronan back a few steps and explained while fanning the clothes with her hands.
"The teacher asked us to help process the materials. It may be that the diffusion agent amplified the smell..."
"Material? Alpha and Wilmer's blood?"
Reluctant to continue aggravating her nose, Leina retreated to the kitchen and muttered: "It's almost time to eat, and the boss doesn't mind the fishy smell..."
Anyway, she couldn't bear to eat with the smell of blood, it would make her feel like she was eating raw meat.
Looking at the dust on Lucy and Ronan's bodies from their sparring, Leina sighed, a blue light flashing in her eyes.
"I asked Shui Ling to go to the bathroom to prepare hot water for you. You two should take a bath first and then come to eat."
The person who cooked was the biggest, Lucy and Ronan nodded obediently, turned and walked towards the room.
Of course, there is no need to notify Dean specifically about such a small matter.
So when Dean opened the door, he saw a tall water spirit filling water in the bathroom opposite. It seemed that he heard the sound of opening the door, and the tall water spirit turned his head and looked at him.
That huge eye, like a surveillance camera that automatically captures targets, gave Dean an uncomfortable feeling of being spied on.
He frowned and stopped where he was.
After confirming that he had no other movements, Shui Ling turned his head back and continued to move according to the instructions.
Dean still stood there without moving.
He looked at Shui Ling not far away with scrutinizing eyes. His slightly tense body revealed his master's defense.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Dean knew that the water spirit was releasing water, and he could also guess that it was prepared by Leinna for the apprentices, but the extremely natural turning back just now seemed to be programmed. Like the short clip with the repeat button, it looped in front of his eyes, making it unforgettable.
That must be Shui Ling's reaction from his own consciousness.
After closing the door, Dean leaned back slightly, chose an angle where he could see Shui Ling's movements, and pressed his back against the wall.
After being together for so long, he could guess how Leina controlled the water spirit through daily observation.
In addition, as a purebred salted fish, Leina has a simple and clear way of thinking. It can be said that it is extremely easy to figure out her behavior.
So Dean is very sure that the small actions in response to the outside world like Shui Ling just did are definitely not controlled by Leinna.
If her reaction was really transmitted to Shui Ling, that guy would never turn a blind eye to his boss and continue working as if nothing happened.
Then there is only one answer.
Standing at this excellent observation position, Dean hugged his shoulders and witnessed Shui Ling's next series of operations. It even put its hand into the bathtub to test the water temperature. That considerate look, not to mention whether the water spirit can sense whether the temperature is correct or not, when it makes this action, it is already very revealing.
After taking a deep look at Shui Ling, Dean took steps towards the stairs.
He had felt before that Leina's water spirit seemed to be more agile than when she first arrived.
There is a faint tendency to develop an independent consciousness.
Now, he has fully confirmed this.
That kind of improvement that is visible to the naked eye is not just as simple as becoming stronger. Dean prefers to call it... the evolution of water spirit.
A kind of evolution that develops more slowly, more quietly, but also more thoroughly than the evolution of a familiar.
Dean found out the evolution of Shui Ling from his memory and quickly summarized the rough timeline.
At present, this evolution has not been completed, and Dean speculates that it has something to do with Leina's control over the Water Observer.
This is not unusual. After all, Leina is in the breeding house. She eats well and sleeps well every day. Compared with the tense state at the exorcist before, she has relaxed many times. She often makes the water caller share the burden. After working for so long, even if the proficiency level changes according to the sign-in experience value increase method, it has accumulated to a considerable value.
It is quite reasonable that Shui Ling would change as a result.
But Dean always felt uncomfortable.
It's not that she doesn't want Leina to become stronger, it's just a discomfort with something beyond her control.
If the water spirits had always been as dead as tools, Dean wouldn't have cared too much about them. But after learning that they had the ability to think, Dean began to feel awkward.
It was as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me.
He could even hallucinate many faceless people without facial features, observing him from a distance.
Is this what "observation" means?
Dean frowned and couldn't help but once again express his disdain for the exorcist who treated Leina as a mere soldier.
With such eyesight, what else can you do?
It's useless to give you a chance.
