"agree."
With a thought, Horn signed the contract.
He felt that he had gained an unseen control over Tam, and that he could communicate with it, issue commands, and decide its life and death through the contract.
It's pretty much the same as [parasite]...
Is it possible that a contract is another type of parasitism?
Now that they were on his side, Horn quickly removed the tentacles that had pierced Tam's body.
—Employees are not allowed in the staff meals!
quack!
Once freed from the life-draining tentacles, Tam quickly relaxed, and the tiny wounds on his body visibly shrank and healed.
With high HP and strong regeneration, this is a pure monster!
It's perfect for being used as a meat shield.
When a new employee joins the company, Horn naturally considers his job prospects.
Open the panel.
【Contract Beast】
[Serial Number F-101: Lord of the Mud]
[Name: Tamm (already named)]
Rank: 3 (Lv39)
[Physical Fitness: 105]
【Magic Power: 14】
【Spirit: 16】
[Talent: Swamp Dive - Tahm Kench can move by traversing water, and his movement efficiency is doubled in swamps.]
[A Huge Stomach – Tamah's stomach has an enormous capacity, capable of storing all sorts of items.]
[Skills: Thick Skin Lv8, Giant Tongue Lash Lv7, Regeneration Lv5, Frog Leap Lv4...]
Lv39!
In this remote little place like the swamp forest, this is already at the level of a big BOSS.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]
Horn was even more amazed by his physique of 105.
It's only because Tahm Kench is lazy and a homebody that he could have eaten up the entire swamp.
Upon seeing the [Big Stomach] talent, Horn had a strange idea—
Since Tamm's stomach can hold a lot of things, could he also put his own family members in it?
simply put.
It's about treating Tahm Kench as a biological fortress, a tentacle mothership.
With its [Swamp Dive] ability, it can transport its followers to various parts of the swamp forest, perfectly compensating for the followers' slow speed.
Sure, that's a good opportunity!
Horn's gaze toward Tame changed instantly.
Be good, open your mouth...
Let me see!
……
……
While the main body was enthusiastically engaged in scientific research.
The components on the Golden Sun were also busy.
Horn has arranged for Alice and Mike to meet.
Mike was initially startled by the old captain's daughter's "resurrection".
But considering that I've become a monster's underling, it's not so surprising that Miss Alice is still alive.
As for employee number three, Libit?
Horn doesn't fully trust him yet and needs to observe him further.
Only after you are completely convinced can you participate in the small meetings of the Touch Company.
"Speaking of which, is there any possibility that Mike could become a Secret Guide?"
While chatting with Alice, Horn casually asked a question.
"Well……"
Alice blinked. "It should be possible!"
"However, if ordinary people cannot embark on the secret path on their own, they will need to use precious magical potions to stimulate their spirituality..."
Horn understood.
It doesn't matter if you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with potions!
However, my company is still in its early stages, and obviously we don't have the necessary conditions yet.
The only thing we can do is strengthen him with [Blessing of Life].
On another note, Horn has also discovered in the last couple of days that the [Blessed Life] talent has an internal cooldown and cannot be cast consecutively on the same target.
It's a reasonable setting, and I can accept it.
"By the way, Alice, are you about to get promoted?"
"How did Mr. Horn know?"
Alice was somewhat puzzled.
Horn thought to himself, "The Lv19 on the panel is so obvious, it's hard to ignore!"
"Just tell me, isn't that right?"
"I'm about to be promoted, but..."
Alice lowered her head shyly: "Advancing as a Secret Pathfinder requires a bit of luck and opportunity. It might be quick, or it might be slow; no one can say for sure."
"Is that so..."
Horn thought for a moment, then said, "Then let me lend you a hand!"
He hasn't used his [Blessing of Life] on Alice yet, now is the time to help her.
"I'm coming in, Alice."
After giving a reminder, the whiskers expertly clung to the girl's petite body.
[Blessing of Life] activated.
Under the infusion of a mysterious power, the magic within Alice stirred and surged toward a higher level.
Perhaps it's because of the special nature of the promotion.
Horn had some special feelings about this gift.
In a daze, he seemed to see an ancient and mysterious stone door.
next moment.
The stone gate suddenly burst open!
Once outside, one is exposed to a vast and boundless illusory sea.
The sea was as black as the night sky, adorned with brilliant stars and strange flowing lights.
Horn suddenly understood.
"This is... the [Secret Sea]!"
He had previously learned from Alice that the source of the Secret Pathfinders' power, the origin of all mysteries, was the [Secret Sea].
but……
Isn't it said that monsters can't embark on the secret path?
Why did I see this [Secret Sea]?
In the blink of an eye, that wondrous and magnificent scene vanished.
But the shock that left Horn with remained deep in his heart.
Alice's promotion came much faster than Horn had anticipated.
Less than ten minutes had passed.
The silver-haired girl woke up, a glint of starlight flashing in her light blue eyes, adding to her witch-like mysterious aura.
"Mr. Horn, I did it!"
Alice jumped up excitedly, hugged a large mushroom next to her, and in doing so, completely ruined her elegant demeanor.
It's no wonder the girl was so excited.
Although advancing to the second tier was only a small step forward, it brought her one step closer to the end of her revenge.
If we keep accumulating little by little, we'll eventually achieve our ultimate goal, right?
Of course, we have to thank Mr. Horn for this!
If it weren't for Mr. Horn, she would have died quietly in this cabin long ago.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Horn stroked Alice's little head with his tentacles.
I must say, it feels pretty good!
Similar to petting a cat?
For the tentacle monster, petting a person seems to be the same as a human petting a cat...
Alice secretly raised her head and glanced at the tentacles high above.
At this point, she no longer found the bizarre shape scary at all; instead, she had an absurd idea.
Mr. Horn is a monster who could become my father...
No...that's not right!
Alice, what are you thinking about?
The silver-haired girl shook her head violently, trying to dispel the strange thought.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
Suddenly, a series of urgent bell tolls interrupted Horn and Alice's thoughts.
Is this another wake-up call?
What's going on this time?
Not long after, Little Mike's urgent voice rang out through the mental link.
"Brother Horn, something terrible has happened!"
"What is it?"
"Pirates...pirates are coming!"
On the deck, Mike looked anxiously at the sea to the southeast.
There, a pirate ship flying a blood-red flag was fiercely cutting through the sea, speeding toward the Golden Sun.
