The world seemed to suddenly become a world familiar to Arecio.

The creature that breathed out the flames was a sea snake with hard scales, which was often seen at sea in his time; the one with a scorpion tail was a manticore, with a loud chirping sound and a very ferocious nature; but those flying white birds were not creatures of darkness, they

Known as the divine kingfisher, it is a kind of bright creature. The place where it builds its nest is calm and peaceful.

"...Do you recognize these creatures?" Andrei observed his expression and asked softly.

Arecio nodded, and with the corner of his eye he glanced at the workers who were unloading the coffin from the car, and then slowly moved it away.

"They haven't changed much at all." Arecio said, paused, and then reluctantly said, "The manticores are... well raised."

He was so fat that he could hardly climb the wall.

"It is also very good to use the divine kingfisher here. There will be no wind and waves during the 'season of the divine kingfisher', which is perfect for sea snakes to lay eggs."

Arecio didn't think anything of the casual remark, but Andrei looked at him in surprise.

"You just said...'the season of the divine kingfisher'?"

Arecio was a little confused, "Isn't there such a saying now? The divine kingfisher was nesting on the sea... during this period..."

"...We have lost a lot of things, Your Highness." The white-haired unicorn lowered his eyelashes gently, "Many, many things. So when I heard such a wonderful title from the previous era, I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me.

.”

"I also implore you to tell us more about things like this. It's not just me, there are many, many people who are listening."

[I only know that the divine kingfisher will build its nest in winter, and there will be no wind and waves on the emerald inner sea.]

[This name from the last era really sounded nice, just like the divine kingfisher dominating a season!]

[Wow, what Xixi said is so beautiful...]

At this time, Arecio had no real sense of the fact that "many people were listening". In his era, there were no live broadcasts that attracted much attention, and there were currently no comments or comments, so he seemed very calm.

"You also have a lot of new things." Arecio looked at the white-haired unicorn, "For example..."

His words were interrupted, and with a few exclamations, a black monster as tall as a person sprang out. Its tail was like a scorpion, but its front body was like a lion. Its fur was smooth and smooth due to sufficient nutrition, and it looked menacing.

Rush towards Arecio and his party who have not yet entered the gate!

"Klass!" Someone shouted the monster's name loudly from behind, but the monster didn't even look back and jumped in front of Arecio. The shadow of the vampire was clearly reflected in the golden and ferocious beast eyes.

. Its scorpion tail swings up and down slightly, which is a sign of curiosity or vigilance.

The horn on Andrei's head glowed faintly, and he had obviously prepared a protective barrier. Augustus stepped forward to cover the more fragile Ellie. Although they raised and cared for the dark creatures, due to the attributes and temperament of the dark creatures,

problems, there will still be incidents of caregivers being injured. Being a caregiver of dark creatures is undoubtedly a profession that sounds very glamorous, but actually requires a lot of pressure.

The manticore swung its tail up and down towards Arecio, its bright sting reflected a frightening dark green color, but it made no further moves, as if it was just showing off its tail.

Arecio's face was expressionless.

The manticore's caregiver rushed over from behind. He was a human with a strong physique. Sensitive and offensive dark creatures like the manticore cannot be taken care of by races with too strong light attributes.

Physically as high a standard as possible.

"Klass hopes you can take a look at his tail." The caregiver said, "He is very proud of his tail."

The manticore could understand human speech, and immediately raised its chin even more proudly, and stretched its tail forward in front of Arecio.

The caregiver was very surprised.

"Klaas even wants you to touch it!"

This is incredible. The arrogant and sensitive Manticore rarely expresses his affection so directly. From just now, Krass was leaning on the wall to watch the aircraft carrying the resurrected vampire. When he saw the aircraft landing, he immediately ran over in high spirits.

, and even touched the baby’s tail.

Arecio remained expressionless.

"no thank you."

【Ruthless Aresi 23333】

[Will you be poisoned if you touch it? 23333]

[I’ll touch! I’ll touch! Not only do I want to touch Klass, I also want to touch Rua Xixi! 】

【...As mentioned above, if you eat peanuts, you won't get drunk like this.】

The manticore was completely stunned. It never thought that it would be rejected. For a moment, its ears drooped. It looked at its scorpion tail and had serious doubts about the attractiveness of this tail.

In short, it means self-esteem is frustrated.

Arecio looked at the manticore's caregiver, and then turned his gaze back to the manticore who was about to whimper.

"Although I'm curious as to why a manticore can be raised like this, but... what should we do in this situation now?"

The caregiver shook his head slowly, "In this case, we usually carry out psychological intervention immediately..."

"Interference? How to do it?"

"Praise it."

"..."

Arecio understands, he is used to it.

He sighed, casually pulled a button on his outer cloak, and turned into a black bat. The bat flew around the manticore several times, and the manticore's drooping ears stood up little by little, and he glanced at the manticore flying around.

The bats are gone and are starting to move.

"Don't praise it, just find something that moves and it will forget about it after a while."

Manticores are different from gryphons, which are light creatures that look somewhat similar in size. They have a loose personality and can easily be distracted. So in Arecio's era, there would be people who became gryphon knights, but basically no one was willing to ride on them.

When riding a manticore, in addition to worrying about the tail that can sting the owner on its back, the main reason is that the manticore is not a creature that can do serious work at all.

The bat continued to lure, and the manticore finally couldn't hold back and jumped up. Of course, it didn't hit, and the bat carried it all the way and jumped into the passage next to it.

Solved, perfect.

"The bat will follow you when you get close. The energy I input is enough to run for half an hour." Arecio said to the caregiver who was about to follow. "Don't praise it too much. It will swell if you praise it too much."

Although now judging from the body shape, it has expanded.

Ellie behind her suddenly laughed. Arecio raised his eyes to look at her. She waved her hands repeatedly to show that she did not mean to laugh.

"I just feel that His Highness Arecio knows these dark creatures very well."

"Because I see you often." Arecio said, and added, "There is no need to call him Your Highness, the vampires are gone."

Ellie immediately apologized, but Arecio shook his head and expressed that he didn't care. He didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the so-called race.

No other dark creatures emerged. Arecio walked into the hall of the Dark Creatures Conservation Center. On the wall in the middle, there was a white nest made of fish bones - the pattern was the totem of the conservation center. This was the nest of the divine kingfisher. They would

In a certain month of winter, weathered white fish bones are woven into nests, floating on the sea, and nests are raised in them.

During this period, the sea will be calm, and Arecio's era called it the "season of the divine kingfisher", symbolizing protection and stability.

The beautiful imagery derived from such beautiful light creatures was also borrowed by the temple in Aresio's era. The totem of the temple is intertwined white fish bones, shaped like a thorn, which accommodates its own sought-after in one fell swoop.

Two images.

The thorns are used as a metaphor for patience and penance, and the sacred kingfisher's nest is used as a metaphor for acceptance and protection.

Of course, the temple has been undergoing changes in the era, and Arecio was a little happy when he heard the news.

Go through the lobby and take the transparent elevator, first vertically down and then forward. The glass decoration allows Arecio to see some of the outside world. There are indeed a lot of staff, and they are busy in different areas.

Andrei explained to him that they currently have quite a lot of unknowns about the habits and characteristics of dark creatures, especially about humanoid dark creatures. Humanoid dark creatures are usually werewolves, lichs, fallen angels, and dark elves.

Compared with the more animalistic manticores, their temperaments are more difficult to figure out. A considerable number of them are currently being raised in the center, and it cannot be said that they are in good condition.

"We still only have a superficial understanding of dark creatures." Andre sighed, "We know that they hate light and love darkness; we know their diet, housing, and transportation; we know their body structure... But this is not enough, darkness

Currently, living things basically do not have the ability to live independently, and some are also suffering from mental illness, but we are helpless."

"Only a few dark creatures are able to be independent and try hard to come back to help the center, but with little success."

"We have no intention of imposing a burden on you, but if you have time, you are welcome to come and sit in the center. It can be seen from Klas just now that these dark creatures like you very much."

Arecio thought about the manticore that had been fed like a ball before, and realized that the conservation center was not very good at raising it. This was really not modest.

"So now is the time to go?"

"Meeting 'Tong', the core center, is also the object of our mutual admiration."

While he was talking, the elevator had stopped smoothly. Andrei took a step behind to let Arecio go first, but Arecio did not give in. When he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a planet-like milky white sphere suspended in the center of the empty underground square——

There is a spindle-shaped black area in the milky-white sphere, making it as cold and sharp as a cat's vertical pupil. The square is surrounded by three transparent wrap-around floors, guarding the sphere in the middle. Countless precision instruments record the sphere's movements in real time.

status to ensure that you will not be helpless in case of sudden changes.

Anyone who has never seen this scene will never be able to understand the shock that Arecio felt at this moment. Even in the previous era when magic and alchemy were rampant, he rarely felt such emotions.

He felt affectionate and missed, but couldn't help but look solemn. The suspended "pupil" looked at the world, and a line of sight suddenly turned to him.

【You wake up, Aresi.】

The black area in the pupil gradually expanded, and the milky white sphere had round black pupils. It changed from being cold and stern, and looked particularly gentle.

Behind the transparent curtain wall, the real-time monitoring staff were in a panic. During their monitoring, the ratio of light and darkness marked by the "pupil" began to change. The black pupil-like part was originally a symbol of the dark attributes of this world.

At this time it expanded and became rounder, after "Hitomi" saw Arecio.

At the same time, the saint, who was sleeping in the coffin with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes. He had no time to continue sorting out the emotions disturbed by the information he had heard earlier. He clearly felt the rise of dark power.

He then unscrewed the coffin and sat up, with the rose petals still clinging to the ends of his platinum hair.

Ignoring the frightened staff around him, he whispered a name in a hoarse voice.
