After finishing the investigation of the secret realm of the Earl's Mansion, Mu Liuyue reunited with Xiang Xun and exchanged their findings.

The situation on Xiangxun's side is similar. Some rooms on the second floor also have modeling texture phenomena, and overall there are more of them than on the first floor.

Apart from this, no one found any more valuable information.

Neither of the two investigators were experts in secret archaeology, so after some guesswork, they ended up with nothing. They could only try to record all the circumstances, submit an investigation report, and let the higher-ups of the bureau make the judgment.

After completing the recording, the two returned to the room at the end of the second floor, where there was an exit connecting the secret realm to the outside world.

Following Xiang Xun's suggestion, Mu Chuyue placed the blue everlasting flower into her own beast-controlling space. At the same time, she took back the little skeleton, adjusted the bracelet to the "mind calibration mode", and prepared to leave this secret realm.

"The next step is the work of the executor of the Affairs Bureau."

Xiang Xun confirmed the records left on the two people's bracelets and said, "Confirm the true nature of the secret realm and the maintenance status of the flash period... Mu Yuyue, do you think this place will enter the real advent period?"

Entering the advent period means that there is a stable connection point between the world and the present world, and sooner or later it will merge with it and become a part of the planet itself.

Mu Chuyue shook her head. For some reason, she had a strong intuition that this secret realm did not belong to the present world.

"I think so. Usually, secret realms that enter the integration period are dominated by natural landscapes. Historical and cultural secret realms like this... have only appeared more and more frequently in recent decades, and individual cases of integration are also rare."

Xiang Xun pulled his scarf to cover half of his face and said, "So it's best if we take the "Blue Everlasting Flower" out in advance. ”

"Is it really okay to give it to me directly?" Mu Liuyue asked.

"This is one of the most important benefits for secret realm investigators. Moreover, this is your initial secret realm. Maybe there is some hidden cause and effect between you and it. Its properties are also consistent with Ellen's. Even if it is submitted to the Affairs Bureau together with the investigation report, it will be given to you as an investigation reward in the end. Boss Luo..."

Xiang Xun paused and said, "Well, I mean, my direct superior at the headquarters is not a conservative person. We should simplify these formalities if possible."

Mu Huiyue nodded, and the two of them walked through the room at the end of the second-floor corridor together.

The strong feeling of weightlessness came again, and Mu Huiyue heard a whistling sound in her ears. Just as she felt the night wind, she was caught by the red-feathered eagle's broad wings and landed steadily on its back.

Xiang Xun sat in the front with his shoulders shrugged, his long scarf fluttering in the night wind, and he turned back into his previous tired office worker state.

"I'll take you back... I'll leave the investigation report to you. I'm not good at dealing with that thing." Xiang Xun's voice was low and hoarse, sounding like he had been yelling heart-wrenchingly for several hours, and was even more weak than before entering the secret realm.

Mu Chuyue still found it hard to identify him and the energetic young man in the secret realm as the same person.

And the flower-picking mantis...

"?" Xiang Xun turned around without hearing a response and gave Mu Chuyue a puzzled look.

"Ah, nothing... I just suddenly thought that you, Xiang Xun, also have other pets besides Hana." Mu Liuyue looked away, feeling a little gossipy, but couldn't stop her curiosity.

After all, the Flower-Pickling Mantis certainly seemed like the type that wanted to monopolize the beastmaster, but Xiang Xun participated in the national competition, which meant that in addition to the Flower-Pickling Mantis and the Red-Feathered Eagle, he had at least one other contracted pet.

Mu Huiyue was a little surprised that Hana, who was hostile to all humans who approached the Beast Tamer, would tolerate other pets sharing the Beast Tamer's contract.

"If you only have one pet, you won't be able to win the game most of the time." Xiang Xun stroked the feathers on the red-feathered eagle's crown. "It's difficult to complete other tasks due to the attribute restrictions. Hana is very reasonable in this regard."

"Chirp..." The flying red-feathered eagle chirped softly and complained silently in its heart.

What a bullshit of being reasonable. Hana knows very well who are the possible threats to her love and who are the pure brick-moving beasts who come here to make a living. With her status, she wouldn't care even if she found ten Hanas.

"Is that so?" Mu Chuyue certainly didn't understand Chiyuying's complaints, and just thought that Xiang Xun's words made sense.

There are various relationships between beastmasters and their pets.

…

…

After returning from the secret realm, Mu Liuyue quickly compiled the investigation report and uploaded it to the task section of the Affairs Bureau headquarters via the bracelet.

The secret realm of the Star Dragon Earl's Mansion is not a real relic. The internal structure is only the size of an earl's mansion. The information obtained from the investigation does not have much other value except for archaeological evidence.

However, Xiang Xun and Mu Chuyue's guess was correct. On the second day after the two left the secret realm, before the executors from the Changning Municipal Affairs Bureau arrived, the secret realm completely disappeared.

No one knows when, where, and how the secret realm will appear again.

After the investigation report was certified, Mu Huoyue officially became the secret realm investigator of the Affairs Bureau, and a small "E" was suffixed to the end of her work permit.

This time, she completed the D-level secret realm exploration together with Xiang Xun. When she has the ability to complete the secret realm exploration independently, the corresponding investigator rating will also be improved.

Even though she was only an E-level official investigator, she could access most of the records in the bureau's database. This was like opening up a new world for Mu Huiyue. The database contained a large amount of beast taming knowledge that could not be found in textbooks. She asked for leave from school directly and stayed at home for several days, studying without sleep or food.

There are detailed records about the Little Skeleton Clan in the database, but there are not many corresponding breeding plans.

Even if we look at the world level, there are not many examples of small skeletons being trained into combat pets. Most of the training plans are to quickly evolve them into general-level card soldiers.

Most of the places where the little skeleton is mentioned are mentioned in passing in the dark pet breeding plan.

Mu Liuyue read several research reports on cultivation programs in the database and unexpectedly saw a familiar ID.

She once searched on an external forum what little skeletons should eat, and the person who got the correct answer was this "Don't pinch my cigarette".

The report of the training program can be included in the database of the Affairs Bureau, which shows that this person is indeed a professional researcher.

I just didn't expect that the signature of the research report could be so casual...

Mu Shuyue clicked on the related link of "Don't pinch my cigarette" and changed his thinking to start from the dark attribute skills, and indeed found some interesting information.

Currently, the few skills that the little skeleton has mastered all have corresponding superior skills. As long as they are fully trained and their proficiency is improved before evolution, there is a high probability that they will obtain higher-level superior skills after evolution.

By then, Eren will become a super card soldier with two B-level skills.

For pets that have mastered the dark skill [Hide], another breeding method is mentioned in related research.

Shadowing seems to be blending oneself into the shadows, but in fact it is sneaking into the sub-space covered by shadow stealth energy, so the little skeleton was able to bring the blue petals, which are also a stealth energy resource, into the shadows.

Familiarity with the sub-space is the key to the evolution of the Shadow Stealth skill. Placing resources with corresponding attributes in the shadow can help the pet speed up the process and improve the pet's qualifications.

The resource recommended in the report is high-quality dark crystals, but Mu Shuyue has a better alternative - the "dark blue everlasting flower".

This is a dark resource rated B to A. It is said that it is not time that solidifies the state of the flower, but strong emotions. As long as the emotions injected into the flower do not dissipate, the state of the flower will remain until the end of time.

The older the everlasting flower is, the thicker and richer the energy it contains, and the darker blue its color becomes. It is an excellent crystal of dark energy.

Most of the recorded eternal flowers contain negative emotions and are mixed with extremely strong obsessions. If used rashly, it is easy to affect the temperament of the pet.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, only strong enough emotions can allow the everlasting flower to survive for such a long time and remain until now.

However, the flower that Mu Huoyue found did not have too many negative emotions. She touched the petals several times and felt more of a warmth without temperature. Ellen's feedback was the same.

Mu Chuyue then gave the dark blue everlasting flower and the remaining petals to Ellen. The little guy hid the flower in Mu Chuyue's shadow, which is the place he spends most of his time besides the training ground. It is suitable for improving his control over his shadow.

While Mu Shuyue was studying diligently, Eren was also honing his skills and combat techniques in the training ground.

It was still frightened by the attack from the mantis. If the other party had not intentionally held back, even if it risked everything, it would not be able to protect the most important beastmaster from the powerful enemy.

It desperately wanted to become stronger, strong enough to bring all the victories to Mu Huoyue and protect her wherever she wanted to go.

In this state of mind, Eren reached the sixth level of the childhood stage.

At dinner time, Mu Huoyue asked about the little skeleton as usual and found that it was a little stunned after it was upgraded.

She wasn't too sure about the growth rate of ordinary pets, but in Changning's No. 1 Beast Taming High School, the students who had juvenile tenth-level pets had basically awakened for more than a year. She had only been in contract with Allen for less than two weeks, but her pet had actually grown from the fifth to the sixth level.

In addition to Eren's own efforts, the effect of the experience fruit should also be included.

"Click, click." (I learned something new.)

Ellen's Black Mist devoured the last bit of stew, jumped off the chair and stood in a more open space, condensing a slender leg bone in his hand.

It held its leg bones tightly with both hands, as if holding a sword. A sticky black fluid spread over the white bones, gradually wrapping around the leg bones and hands.

This is exactly the same as the petroleum-like black fluid that emerged from its body when it faced the mantis before.

The dark fluid continued to surge, then gradually solidified and subsided. The leg bone in Allen's hand had turned dark in color, with a restrained metallic edge, and it looked much more powerful than before.

"This is..." Mu Liuyue quickly called up the picture book in the bracelet.

【Name】：Little Skeleton

[Attributes]: Dark, Undead

[Racial Level]: Low Elite

[Growth Level]: Childhood Stage 6

[Talent Core]: Reorganization (Undead D-level)

[Skills]: Bone Stick Strike (Dark E-level), Shadow Hide (Dark C-level), Phosphorus Fire (Fire C-level), Bone Fluid (Steel D-level)

[Normal hidden energy value]: 4588P

"You have learned a new skill, Allen!" Mu Huoyue said in surprise.

The Steel-type D-level skill Bone Fluid is a skill that mobilizes the body's energy to strengthen bones. The strengthening effect is comparable to that of carbon steel and is usually mastered by extraordinary creatures with exoskeleton structures.

Theoretically, a little skeleton whose whole body is made of bones can learn it, but there are very few records of little skeletons mastering bone fluid. However, there are many examples among the evolved card soldiers.

[Bone Fluid] is only D-rank, but it has the C-rank upper-level Steel skill [Calcification], which can greatly enhance Eren's combat power and defense, and is a very promising skill.

And Bone Fluid is one of the few skills that can change or add status, which means that Eren can use Bone Stick Strike together with Bone Fluid as just demonstrated to directly enhance the power of multiple skills.

Most attack skills cannot be performed at the same time. For example, Ellen cannot use phosphorus fire while hitting with the bone stick. Even if he has greatly shortened the time to release skills through training, he cannot achieve "simultaneous use" in the true sense.

But there is no problem with bone fluid. Whether it is used to strengthen leg bones, increase the power of bone sticks, or directly strengthen oneself, improve attack and defense, and learn other physical attack skills in the future, bone fluid can also play a role.

Being able to learn this skill independently is also the best proof of Ellen's current bone health and strong bone strength.

The effort of drinking two bottles of milk and constitution fruit every day has not been in vain!

"Well done, Eren. This will increase the number of tactics we can use."

Mu Yuyue smiled and touched the little skeleton's skull. "You've taken so many days off. It's time to go back to school and practice. You must be tired of being alone in the training ground, right?"

When Mu Huoyue mentioned the school tryouts, the little skeleton raised his head and looked at his two thin finger bones, making some slow clicking sounds as if hesitating about something.

"Click, click..." (One more thing...)

"Hmm?" Mu Huoyue rarely saw Ellen so hesitant, so she stopped and prepared to listen to him patiently.

"Click, click, click." (While practicing, I was thinking that for the trials and the battles that follow, Hiiragi should contract a second pet as soon as possible.)

“Click, click.” (Hiiragi’s beast control space is so wide that even without upgrading, she can still make a new contract.)

Mu Liuyue was stunned when she heard this.

The awakening time of human beings spans four years from the age of 15 to 18. Some students who awaken early already have more than two years of beast taming experience by their senior year of high school. Most of them have become second-level or even third-level beast tamers and can contract two pets.

The advantages of having an extra pet are also huge. In addition to the feedback on the pet space and the pet master himself, you can also participate in more types of competitions.

The school's selection competitions are all 1v1 matches, but in the national qualifying competitions, special competition formats involving doubles or even multiple people have appeared in the past few years.

There are less than three months left until the national qualifying competition. According to common sense, Mu Liuyue, a beastmaster who awakens during this period, will never be able to catch up with the second contracted pet. This is a natural disadvantage of awakening a step later.

But Mu Chuyue's beast-taming space is very special, and perhaps it can make up for this gap.

If you want to contract a second pet, it is better to do it as early as possible so that there is enough time to adjust and improve it.

Not only the Beast Tamer himself, but Eren also needs to get familiar with the second friend as soon as possible.

Mu Huoyue already had some ideas about the second contracted pet, but she didn't expect Ellen to bring up the matter on her own initiative.

"So Eren is looking forward to a second companion?"

Mu Shuyue supported his chin with one hand, and poked the little bone surrounded by black mist with the other hand, and said with a smile, "I thought Eren was the type who would be jealous. How can I tell you about my troubles?"

The first partner is always a little more special. He or she spends the longest time alone with the Beastmaster, and receives 100% of the Beastmaster's attention and training in the early stages.

Many of the first-time pets would develop a rift with the tamer because the second companion took away the tamer's attention. Even the tamer of Changning No. 1 Middle School, who had excellent grades, had his pet run away from home.

How to balance the relationship between pets is also an important lesson for a beastmaster.

Mu Huoyue attaches great importance to the little skeleton's feelings, so she has never mentioned this matter before.

"Click, click..." (Actually, I'm a little jealous...)

The little skeleton twisted shyly and stood with its feet turned inward, seeming to be embarrassed about its own little concern.

"Click, click, click!" (But I hope to bring victory to Hiiragi more. I love the moment when we win the battle together!)

Just like the powerful praying mantis.

Ellen said to herself in her heart that monopolizing the Beastmaster would only destroy her, making the Beastmaster stronger, and fulfilling all of her wishes was the creed that should be put first.

For Ellen, being able to meet Mu Shuyue as her first pet was a gift from fate.

The first contracted pet will always be special in the mind of the beastmaster.

Mu Huoyue picked up the little skeleton and rubbed its smooth skull with his chin.

Hey...how can there be such a sensible little guy?

At certain times, Ellen might be more mature than her, whether it was when he comforted herself when facing a strong enemy, or now he took the initiative to propose the second contracted pet.

She held the little skeleton in her arms and sat back on the sofa, changing to a more comfortable position. "Then let's discuss the idea of ​​a second companion with Ellen first."

Regarding the second contract object, Mu Huiyue actually had an option that she liked a long time ago.

There is such an extraordinary creature with high potential, good looks, unique and interesting characteristics and skills, and an evolutionary form that covers almost all attributes. Which beastmaster can refuse it?

The only thing that prevents ordinary beast masters from contracting them is the high cost, but the largest breeding base in the country is owned by Mu Huoyue's family, and her spending here is almost zero yuan.

Yes, as a Pokémon trainer who breeds Eevee in every generation, Mu Shuuyue was already crazy about it the moment he knew about the Pokémon.

She told Ellen her idea, and the little skeleton was silent for a moment, then made some weak clicking sounds.

"Click..." (Little Cloud Dog...)

But before Mu Liuyue could comfort it, the little guy had already healed himself.

"Ka-ta!!" (It would be better if it was a little cloud dog!)

After becoming companions, you can practice fighting together often. Sooner or later, it will overcome all of X-fang's skills and become a handsome skeleton without weaknesses!

Mu Shuyue couldn't help but smile, "Desensitization training for biting skills is also good."

"As for the attributes, it doesn't matter. Although I have a dark-type enhancement talent, not every pet needs to be contracted with a dark-type pet. To me, the pet's own ideas are more important."

"Ka-taka?" (Like I like Hiiragi very much, and Hiiragi also likes me?)

"Yeah." Mu Liuyue smiled and nodded.

The man and his pet chatted for a long time, and they both expressed their expectations for their new partner.

Mu Chuyue planned to go back to school to continue the selection, and then take a weekend to go to the nearby Xiaoyun Dog Breeding Base to pick out a little fellow that suits her eyes and make a contract with him.
