Raising Octopus Juvenile - Chapter 17

After a few days, the academy was closed, and Alex came to Cecil with the ugly mermaid, and told her bad news by the way.

“Do you know Keen McIntosh?” Alex looked mysterious. “I heard he is missing.”

“Missing?” Cecil frowned slightly. “Is this news true?”

“Of course it is true.” Alex raised his chin proudly and said, “This is what my father told me.”

Alex’s father, Duke Otis, is a close friend and close friend of His Majesty today, and there is nothing he doesn’t know about the entire Astar Empire. Since he told Alex, the truth of the news is beyond doubt.

Cecil touched his chin and asked calmly: “Did your father tell you when and where Keane disappeared?”

“I don’t know where, but he told me the time.” Alex said and suddenly lowered his voice, “That’s the day we stayed in the academy.”

That day?

Cecil frowned and couldn’t help but think more.

That day was also the last time she saw Keane. Not only that, but Lenny broke his hand. Although she helped to heal it, it doesn’t mean that Keane didn’t cast any psychological shadows. I wonder if his disappearance is related to his severed hand? If it really matters, then she’s in trouble…

Cecil stabilized his mind and calmly raised his eyes to look at Alex: “Then did your father say how he disappeared?”

Alex shook his head: “No, he doesn’t know. He said that Keane just evaporated, leaving no traces, making the college even the most basic investigation impossible.”

When Cecil heard this, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Did not leave any traces? It shouldn’t. Even if the college can’t find his person, but at least what he did and who he met before disappearing, these colleges should be able to find out. He is a student of the college and came to class on the day of his disappearance. Any traces”?

Cecil couldn’t figure out the reason, and didn’t speak for a while. Seeing that she was unresponsive, Alex couldn’t help leaning over to get close to her, and added in a low voice, “I guess he might have been taken away by the monster that night.”

Cecil: “Monster?”

“Yeah, it’s the eyeball I saw.” Talking about what happened that night, Alex still had lingering fears, and his delicate face was a little pale.

It was true, she hadn’t seen anything.

Cecil glanced at him suspiciously and decided not to discuss this unsolvable problem. She turned to look at the sealed water tank that the servants had labored to remove, and asked, “Is this a mermaid? What does it eat?”

The water tank was covered by a black curtain, and the inside was not visible, but the dull crashing sound from under the curtain could be heard. This mermaid had a more grumpy temper.

“Eat meat.” When talking about the mermaid, the young master showed a proud look again, “By the way, this mermaid was hunted after a lot of effort. Its character is very cruel. You’d better be careful. a little.”

Cecil curiously asked: “How cruel is it?”

“He can eat live animals. So it’s best not to co-bring with other fish, otherwise there will be a mistake, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

It sounds less brutal than her primary one…

Cecil smiled slightly: “I see.”

Their conversation ended here, Cecil ordered the servants to carry the water tank to the rose garden, completely disregarding Alex’s intention. Alex looked at her command servant hesitantly, entangled again and again, but couldn’t help but speak.

“That, that, Cecil…”

“Huh? What?” Cecil answered casually.

“Well, Lena… is she there?” Alex finally kowtowed.

After doing it for a long time, I wanted to ask this.

Cecil gave him a funny look and couldn’t help but want to tease him: “Lina is here, she’s still waiting for me to tell her a story.”

“Really?” Alex’s eyes lit up suddenly, and then he stared at Cecil warily, “Wait, what story are you telling her?”

Cecil smiled mildly: “The story of Master Otis fighting the eyeball-shaped monster?”

“That, that can’t be said!” Alex immediately panicked, and covered Cecil’s mouth. “Only you and I know about that. You are not allowed to tell anyone!”

Cecil: “Hmm…”

“Lina can’t tell! Otherwise, I’ll take the mermaid back, and…”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a surprised and angry voice.

“Master Odis, what are you doing!”

Alex heard the sweet voice and immediately let go of Cecil in a panic.

Lena ran straight from the hall with her skirt hem, and pulled Cecil to her side. She looked at Alex angrily, with a strangely serious tone: “Master Odis, please stop bullying my sister.”

Alex was very wronged: “I didn’t bully her!”

Lena: “I saw it all, you don’t have to quibble.”

Hearing the words, Alex looked at Cecil as if he immediately asked for help. Unexpectedly, when Cecil had just met him, he would just move away casually, with no meaning to explain to him.

…Damn it, who is bullying whom!

Alex was flushed with anger by Cecil, and the young master’s temper immediately came up. He glared at Cecil angrily, then screamed “You don’t understand anything” and ran out of the mansion angrily, leaving Lena and Cecil with big eyes.

“Why don’t you go check it out?” Cecil said uncertainly.

Lena hesitated: “But…”

“His father has a higher rank than our father. If you annoy him, it’s not good. You don’t want to cause trouble to your father, right?”

Cecil deliberately intimidated Lena, and Lena suddenly became nervous when she heard the words: “Then, then I will chase him now!”

After speaking, she ran out in a hurry. Without these two guys, Cecilton felt a lot relaxed, she stretched her waist and returned to her room slowly.

“Little one, I found you a new neighbor…” Cecil said as he pushed the door, who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he saw a strange scene.

Lanny, who was supposed to clean up the weeds in the Rose Garden, was standing in front of the water tank, staring at the little octopus at the bottom of the water. He put a finger into the water and stirred it gently, and the turbulent vortex was suddenly rolled up in the water, and even the little octopus turned around.

Cecil: “…”

She ignored the obviously abnormal finger force and sighed helplessly: “Lanny, what are you doing?”

Lanny stopped and blinked innocently: “I’m observing Little One. You see, he has grown so big.”

Getting bigger?

Hearing this, Cecil hurriedly walked over and looked closely at the little octopus slowly spinning in the water.

It seems… is indeed a lot bigger. If the last time I grew up, it was only half the size of a palm, then this time almost two hands are the same size, and they are still adult male hands.

“It was obviously not this big a few days ago…” Cecil pondered slightly, “Is it really the effect of magic?”

Lanny nodded in agreement: “It must be. If you continue to feed, it should grow very fast.”

His words implied the element of inducement, which was intended to remind Cecil of the nightmare before, and remind her not to give Xiao Yi any more magic power. But Cecil seemed to have forgotten that dream. She looked at the little octopus in the tank happily and said with satisfaction: “I didn’t expect the effect to be so good. It seems that I need to feed more.”

Lanny: “?”

He didn’t want such a result. He remembered how Cecil was frightened by the nightmare, so he guessed that Cecil should have just forgotten.

Must remind again.

“Cecile, he will grow bigger and bigger.” Lenny reminded her euphemistically.

Cecil nodded and said of course: “Yes, I just want him to grow up.”

“I will eat you.”

“That’s really a shame.” Cecil’s tone was casual, without any panic at all.

Lenny looked at her carefully.

This is different from her previous reaction. It is also not the same as the humans he knows and touches-although the humans he has come into contact with are not many, and they are all weak and mediocre.

Lanny asked curiously: “Aren’t you afraid?”

Cecil nodded: “Scared.”

Lanny: “But you don’t seem to care at all.”

He seems to be very attached to this question. Cecil sighed helplessly, and told him patiently and softly: “Because people are animals that will be domesticated. When a person is always covered by the threat of death, no matter how scared he is, he will gradually become numb. “

Lanny quickly found the point in her words: “This person you are talking about refers to yourself?”

Cecil smiled flatly, acquiescing to this answer.

Lanny continued to ask: “So you will die anytime?”

“…You can say so.” Cecil paused slightly, then raised a soft, soothing smile at Lanny, “Ah, but you don’t have to worry. Before you die, I will settle you down, too. Will divide the magic power between you and the first one…if you need it.”

Lanny fell into a slight daze. He didn’t understand the meaning of death, so he didn’t know what Cecil was in when he said this.

She looked calm, no different from usual.

But he could smell a strange fragrance from her.

Very strange, very wonderful, aroused his dry appetite.

So he instinctively wanted to get close to her.

“Little Cecil, are you inside?” A soft voice suddenly came from outside the house, accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps.

Cecil thought for a while, then looked out the door: “Mrs. Stella?”

“It’s me, Little Cecil. I just received a batch of good black tea, and I want you to be the first to taste…”

A gorgeous beauty with black hair and purple eyes appeared curly at the door, just about to smile at the girl in the house, and suddenly his eyes stopped on Lannie.

The look on her face became weird in an instant.
