Lu Cheng placed the young owl in the palm of his hand and rubbed the owl's fledgling feathers with his fingertips.
It seemed to treat Lu Cheng as its mother, and kept opening its mouth and making "嘤嘤" sounds.
"Contractor, you seem to like getting close to the young of living things?" Scarre's crystal spirit stood on the table and looked at Lu Cheng and said.
It and the owl are both crystal spirits, but every time it stands on Lu Cheng's shoulder, Lu Cheng will pick it up. This owl cub has been sitting in Lu Cheng's palm for quite a while.
"I just like the feeling of raising a baby." Lu Cheng teased the little owl and put it back on the table.
The crystal spirit of the Gray Feather Kingdom completed a fusion with the crystal spirit of Scarre.
The result of the fusion is that the energy obtained from the residents of Skare increased by about 50% to 160%, and this increase will increase with the growth of the owl.
It might end up being a double happiness.
"Little guy, do you want me to save your child?"
While Lu Cheng was teasing it, he felt that this young owl had its own thoughts, and its relationship with the previous core of the Gray Feather Kingdom's earth veins was like that of a reincarnated person.
It's just that its memory is a little incomplete, but it has not forgotten what it had to do in its previous life, which was to save its children.
The owl hooted three times again, as if agreeing with Lu Cheng's statement.
"These meal tickets you paid make it very difficult for me to do things, but... I will find a way." Lu Cheng said.
This owl gave Lucheng 327 energy coins. Lucheng did not plan to use these energy coins to transport support items from the Celestial Empire. Lucheng planned to use them to... transport talents.
"I wonder if your eldest son has made up his mind yet." Lu Cheng habitually glanced at his watch. It was already seven o'clock the next morning. Lu Cheng gave Valang a night to think about what to do next.
Lu Cheng hoped that the prince could give him an answer that would satisfy him.
… …
Annie woke up when the sun rose in the morning.
During this month, Agen had been on the run with Annie. It was rare for her to have such a good sleep, especially on such a white and soft bed.
"Father, I'm hungry."
This was the first thing Annie said when she sat up in bed. Argen looked embarrassed for a moment when he heard his daughter's words.
He had not yet let down his guard against Lucheng... and the environment here, so he stayed by his daughter and wife's side all night without sleeping.
The people on the boat didn't speak his language, and Valan didn't even know how to exchange food with them.
"You really stayed in the room all night? It smells so bad..." Lu Cheng suddenly appeared at the door of their room at this time.
Lucheng specially dispatched personnel to monitor Ajan's actions, but the half-elf prince did not take any action. He sat beside the bed of his wife and daughter like a statue all night.
If his eyes had not blinked, the surveillance personnel might have mistakenly believed that the man was under some kind of petrification magic.
"Stinky?" Arang stood up immediately and used his body to shield his wife and daughter, but Lu Cheng's last two words made his embarrassment even worse.
Valan hasn't taken a shower for almost half a month since he set sail. In the past, when he lived in the palace, he was considered a clean man, unlike his brothers and sisters who considered it normal not to take a shower for a week.
The entire cabin was filled with a strange stench, but Lu Cheng still held it in and handed the plate of food in his hand to Arang.
"You have breakfast today, and if possible, you'd better take your daughter to take a bath."
Lu Cheng handed over three plates of food. The variety of dishes on the Shangcheng ship was beyond Arang's imagination... Today's breakfast was soy milk, fried dough sticks, meat buns and two salted duck eggs. Lu Cheng also brought two servings of beef noodles for Arang.
“If you think it’s poisonous, I’ll take it away.” Lu Cheng’s next words made Arang take the pile of food that Lu Cheng handed over with both hands.
"Thank you, Mr. Lucheng."
Valan took the food, and because his wife was still sleeping, he tasted it once to make sure it contained no toxins before feeding it to his daughter.
However, his daughter was still poisoned, a poison called "too delicious to stop eating".
"Eat slowly, Annie." Agen looked at his daughter's puffy cheeks and reached out to pat her on the back.
Valan had never seen such white and soft food. When he took a bite, there was soup and meat inside. This kind of taste could not be achieved by seasoning like salt.
Fortunately, Valanciunas had strong self-control, otherwise his daughter would have to eat only salted duck eggs.
Aini's appetite was amazing. Lu Cheng watched the white-haired girl finish a whole bowl of beef noodles and fried dough sticks and meat buns...
"Father." After eating all these, Annie wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth. Seeing Arang's worried expression, she asked a question that stunned Arang, "Will we be able to eat these things in the future?"
Arang looked at the half bowl of beef noodles left in his hand, and he knew that this was not food he could make.
"Sure..." Ajan said to his daughter confidently, "Of course you can eat as much as you want in the future."
"Then I also want the crispy one..." Annie didn't know how to describe it when she got to this point.
"The food she wants should be fried dough sticks." Lu Cheng reminded Arang, "If you want, I can get you some more."
"Mr. Lu Cheng, what you said before." Arang heard the hidden meaning in Lu Cheng's words. He had made a decision at this moment and stood up to accept Lu Cheng's suggestion.
"Do you want more fried dough sticks? If we're any later, they might be snatched away by my comrades." Lu Cheng said.
"this…"
Valang had already prepared his emotions, but Lu Cheng's words choked him up and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"Father!"
At this time, Annie showed her childish and willful side. She kept pulling at the corner of Valan's clothes. Finally, Valan had no choice but to nod and take care of his daughter first.
Lu Cheng asked a navy man to bring him three more fried dough sticks and a whole bag of White Rabbit milk candies, and then put the bag of food on the table.
"Since you have agreed to cooperate, then just tell me...what talents in your country are valued by the Far South Empire?"
Lu Cheng looked at Agen's pointed ears. He was an elf... This world had too many similarities with the fantasy world imagined by humans on Earth.
Elves, dwarves... Lu Cheng thinks it wouldn't be strange to find a dragon that can breathe fire in the future.
Since it's an elf, there should be some settings that are unique to elves, right? There should be a profession like Archdruid, right
