Chapter 34 Jim’s Growth

Graylingt remembers that the day when little mouse Jim was born in the basement was Sunday evening, which was also the third day after Graylingt traveled through.

The date of that day was December 8th, and almost at the same time as he was born, Jim swallowed the extraordinary characteristic of "The Scammer".

On the 15th, Gray Lint began to teach Jimrun the language every night.

On the 17th, Jim began to eat green vegetable crumbs and soaked rice, and gradually began to wean. On the same day, Gray Linte got back the "Fanatical Man", and the learning progress of each person and one mouse improved rapidly.

On the 20th, Jim opened his eyes, revealing his little shrewd eyes. In addition, he already had enough mobility and began to crawl around in the larger nest prepared by Gray Lint and began to eat oats.

Chips and beans.

Of course, he was not completely weaned at this time.

On the 23rd, Jim was no longer satisfied with the nest the size of a pot lid, but crawled out to explore the new world in the room.

On the same day, he learned the first Loen word "Hello" - he didn't speak with the coordination of throat, tongue and lips like humans, but directly exhaled and vibrated the air to pronounce it.

In just six days, Jim almost finished learning all the Loen language and was able to communicate normally with Gray Lint. In addition, he was completely weaned from breastfeeding and began to eat grains and vegetables.

By this time, Jim's fur had become more mature, and was a slightly lighter khaki color than his mother's brown fur, rather than the bright yellow of a certain yellow-skinned mouse.

What's interesting is that Jim still can't control his extraordinary abilities very well and often uses them subconsciously.

For example, one day when Graylingt reached out to tease him, he stole Graylingt's "Ring of Law" without anyone noticing.

It wasn't until Gray Lint suddenly discovered that the ring had fallen off the next day that he couldn't help but use "Transformation" to search for objects in a panic. Only then did he discover that the ring had been stolen by this little guy.

And when Jim found out that Gray Lint used gold coins to find the things he had stolen, this guy went even further. He directly stole Gray Lint's divination gold coins...

But this time, Gray Lint quickly realized who was responsible for the prank, and immediately captured the culprit and asked him to hand over the gold coins.

In addition, thanks to the "Trickster" potion's bonus to body speed and agility, Jim's already flexible body can now run even faster. Without knowing how to use magic items, Gray Lint is completely unable to catch him.

It's his turn.

In other words, it is actually impossible for a human Extraordinary at a low sequence to catch a "scammer" rat with bare hands.

The little mouse is quite naughty, which makes Graylint, who is familiar with the character of a naughty child on the "thief" path, worried.

But Little Jim actually has no malicious intentions, his actions are all out of fun...

If it was discovered that Gray Lint was really angry, Jim would stand in front of him like a child who had made a mistake and let him scold and educate him. This made Gray Lint often scold him without mercy.

"This is called 'a loving mother often loses her son'!"

"But I am neither a loving mother nor Jim my child."

With a groan in his heart, Gray Linte was going to attend the last extraordinary gathering of the year before today.

Today is December 30, the last day of the year 1348, and it is also a Monday.

During the last gathering, someone discussed it and considered that some of the party members might be members of the landed aristocracy, or members who were attached to the landed aristocracy. However, these members would not be able to attend the gathering from January to May after the new year.

Therefore, it is recommended that everyone go as much as possible this time to meet each other's trading needs as much as possible.

Given the danger level of Extraordinaries, some members may never appear again in half a year...

"What? You want to go too? No, no!"

Looking at Jim's clever little eyes, Graylingt shook his head subconsciously.

"Why? Graylint."

Jim's voice was like that of a little boy whose voice hadn't changed yet.

"I want to go out to play!" The khaki figure suddenly rushed to Gray Linte's right shoulder, with the intention of never coming down.

Now Jim's movements were so fast that Gray Lint couldn't see clearly.

Why? Gray Linte was also asking himself why.

There can be many reasons for not letting Jim go, but there is only one reason for allowing him to go, and that is that he wants to go!

Speaking of which, Jim hasn’t left this mansion since he was born!

"Well, if you promise not to get me into trouble, I'll let you go!" He raised his left hand and stroked Jim's fur and said.

"You are not allowed to speak, and you are not allowed to take the initiative to use extraordinary abilities!"

Currently, Jim only has one extraordinary ability that requires his own spirituality to be used, and that is "mental interference", which can create illusions to deceive opponents.

However, Gray Lint hasn't seen Jim use it yet, and he doesn't know if he doesn't know how to use it or just doesn't remember it.

As for other skills such as "Stealing", "Agile Hands" and "Excellent Observation" corresponding to the "Stealer" in Sequence Nine.

As well as the improvement of "charm" and "eloquence" corresponding to the Sequence Eight "Scammer".

These are physical and intellectual improvements. Although they are considered extraordinary abilities, they do not require the consumption of one's own spirituality when using them.

"Okay, I promise you everything."

Jim agreed quickly, making even Gray Lint doubt whether he heard what he just said.

Although it was okay to let other party members know that he had raised an extraordinary animal, considering that Mr. Joffrey would also be attending the party today, Gray Lint still asked Jim to hide it in his pocket.

Only listen, don't speak, don't move.

According to Gray Lint's understanding of the original work, the difficulty in raising extraordinary animals is actually the lack of money.

Secondly, it is difficult for ordinary animals to absorb magic potions well, and they can easily lose control and turn into monsters.

Of course, if you are rich enough, the second difficulty can also be solved by purchasing magic potions multiple times and trying, provided you can kill the out-of-control monsters.

There don't seem to be many normal extraordinary animals mentioned in the original work.

What impressed Graylingt the most was Miss Audrey’s golden retriever dog Susie, but now it seems that she has no chance to meet the fantasy dog ​​Susie.

The reason why she didn't lose control and turn into a monster may be because she is relatively large and can withstand the power of the potion.

But this does not explain why Harry, the parrot of the fat pharmacist Darkwill, did not lose control later.

Regarding this point, Graylingt remembered that Harry was kept from losing control thanks to Darkwill's status as "animal tamer".

But obviously, neither of these two reasons applies to Jim.

Gray Lint remembered that when Jim's mother died, the extraordinary characteristics were emitted at an extremely abnormal speed, too fast.

So he guessed that this might have something to do with Jim's mother.

Of course, it is also possible that the characteristics of the potion and the animal are more compatible?

After all, rats just like to steal things...

"What are you thinking about? Graylingt."

Perhaps due to his physical limitations, Jim's voice is relatively soft.

So even if Jim spoke next to his ear, he wouldn't feel the sound was too loud.

"I'm wondering if I should let you learn the mysterious language."

Then he thought that Jim seemed to have not been exposed to the mysterious language, so he added:

"That's the language I use to use this ring."

Gray Linte raised his right hand to show the Ring of Law, then picked up Jim and put him into his pocket.

"I want to learn! I want to learn!"

Jim was stunned at first, and then shouted excitedly.

Gray Linte ignored him.

Since he couldn't catch Jim, the Ring of Law became his only means to restrain Jim's naughty behavior.

The two ancient Hermetic sentences he is most familiar with now are:

"No stealing here!" and "No running away here!"

If Jim really learned the ancient Hermetic language, he might have done something wrong if he had stolen Gray Linte's ring.

Jim was indeed a little too naughty, which forced Graylingt to keep a method of restraining him.
