After a sumptuous and delicious brunch, the Einsta family and Elphis had a pleasant chat.
Hermann ordered Veronica to go upstairs and bring down Albert who had already woken up.
Albert was sucking on his pacifier obediently in Veronica's arms, his big watery eyes looking curiously at the new beautiful big sister.
Veronica opened the door of the banquet room and said,
"Mr. Hermann, Master Albert has been brought here."
"Oh, bring it here for Mr. Elphis to see."
Hermann said excitedly.
Mrs. Kirk smiled and took the child from Veronica's hands.
“You’ve worked hard, Veronica. Go eat first. You’ve been serving for so long.”
"It is my duty, Mrs. Kirk. Since this is your order, Veronica will go down to eat."
Veronica responded respectfully.
Veronica then left the banquet room.
"Come, let me give you a hug."
Kirk said to Elphis, holding Albert under his armpit and handing it to Elphis.
At this moment, Elphis showed a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Finally, I officially meet you, the protagonist of the script."
Elphis had long understood that the entire Einstar family was actually not important. His target was only this cute little elf baby, Albert Einstar.
But Albert resisted at this time, twisting his weak body to struggle, trying to escape from the arms of this smiling man.
Albert's instinct constantly reminded him that the man in front of him had bad intentions, but he had not yet learned to speak and could only protest by twisting his body constantly.
"Oh, the little fellow is quite strong. Look at the way he dances around. He is so adorable."
Elphis said to the Einstar family.
Kirk covered his mouth and laughed.
"Maybe Albert is shy and not familiar with you yet. He is not like this usually."
Elphis didn't mind it at all and made a face at Albert who was squirming.
Even though he was teasing Albert, there was no life in Alphis' narrowed eyes, just like a scary black hole.
Veronica, who was waiting on the side, seemed to sense a strange fluctuation of power, but this fluctuation was very subtle, so weak that it was as inconspicuous as a speck of dust blown by the wind, so she did not have much suspicion.
Veronica never imagined that the Elphis in front of her was a high-level priest of the Yellow Group, and his control over his power had reached the level of being able to control it freely.
The empty eyes hidden beneath the grimace were a simplified version of the pupil technique that Youdekao had used on the little rascal back then.
The eye technique, which was originally used for mind control, was cleverly used by Elphis to have the function of intimidation.
Under Elphis' gaze, little Albert stopped struggling. He realized that his weak struggle was meaningless in front of this terrifying man and he could only let him manipulate him as he pleased.
This was another time when little Albert was mentally affected. In his underdeveloped brain, the pineal gland underwent some subtle changes after being frightened many times.
The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland located in the vertebrate brain and is also the smallest organ in the human body.
It is named because its shape looks like a small pine cone.
It is located near the center of the brain, between the left and right brain.
The pineal gland exists in all existing vertebrates, and in ancient documents, the pineal gland was called the "third eye".
The pineal gland, which is only the size of a rice husk, plays an important role in human life.
For animals, the pineal gland plays a role in sexual maturity, hibernation, metabolism, and seasonal reproduction.
The pineal gland secretes a substance called brain sand, which is believed to increase with age and may be related to aging.
Until modern science, people only showed the chemical formula of brain sand through chemical analysis, but the actual effect of brain sand remained unknown.
The mysterious pineal gland is even thought to be the degenerated remnant of a larger organ, such as the eye.
René Descartes, a famous French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist, even spent a lot of time studying this mysterious brain tissue.
He called it the "Soul Seat," the place where the human soul resides, and all of human thought is formed within that little tissue.
According to Descartes, all parts of the brain exist in pairs, with the pineal gland being the only single entity.
Humans see with their eyes and hear with their ears, but no one has ever been able to have more than one thought at a time.
Literary scholar Dennis Holler even views the pineal gland as a blind spot in Western rationality and an organ of brutality and madness.
After suffering repeated mental stimulation, the pineal gland in little Albert's brain secreted a huge amount of brain sand, which was not appropriate for his age, which resulted in little Albert being destined to be different from others.
Under the influence of a large amount of brain sand, his logic and thinking appeared more mature than others, which made his future achievements reach unprecedented heights.
Although the large amount of brain sand made Albert's future temperament and personality different from ordinary people, it also made him an admirable legend.
At this time, Alphis did not do anything else to little Albert. He just quietly teased Albert who was stunned in his arms.
After a while, Alphis got a little bored and handed Albert back to Kirk.
"It's almost time. I think I should go back. Evelya should be waiting for me in the inn now."
Elphis said with a smile.
Herman was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Oh, is it Miss Evelya, the famous Red Rose of Umr?"
Alphis smoothed the collar of his clothes that was messed up by little Albert and replied in a casual manner,
"Yes, Evelia is currently living with me."
"Oh, it seems that you will have a beautiful wife soon?"
Mrs. Kirk quipped.
"No, no, no, our emotional foundation has not yet reached that stage. We still have some minor conflicts from time to time, so we plan to spend some more time together and see how it goes.
Maybe one or two years. If it’s not suitable, there’s nothing I can do.”
Elphis put on his hat and stood up.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality today. Once I have chosen a place to stay in Munich, I will invite you all to come and enjoy a delicious dinner."
After saying this, Elphis bowed, turned over his pipe, and poured the ashes into the ashtray.
At that moment, Veronica vaguely saw the yellow mark on the pipe from behind Eugene.
