221. Foster Care

Upon entering Isaac's bedroom, Sulu encountered Harlock once again.

However, at this moment, the Erha had taken over Isaac's big bed and built a rather odd doghouse on it.

It was draped in luxurious silk, making it look more like a majestic wolf king, and it was looking down at the six people who entered with its serious dog face.

When Isaac saw its appearance, he couldn't help but tremble.

This made Sulu suspect that he had some kind of psychological trauma, making it difficult for him to face Harlock even after becoming a superhuman.

"Ahem... Harlock, as your master, I have something to tell you..."

At Sulu's prompting, Isaac steeled himself and stepped forward, saying to Harlock, "I'm going to have you fostered with Sean for a while. You'd better behave!"

Harlock looked up and glanced at Isaac.

The next moment, Isaac's expression became blank, and he unconsciously got down on all fours to chase a ball of yarn.

"Cough cough!"

Sulu coughed, and Isaac immediately stopped what he was doing.

He stood up, his expression turning angry. "You're controlling me again!!"

"Alright, you can all go out now!"

Sulu smiled and said, "I need to speak with Harlock alone."

"OK."

Although James and the others were very curious, they immediately went out and closed the door behind them.

After all, none of them wanted to end up like Isaac! Especially the two ladies.

Click.

The door closed, and the room fell silent.

"Alright... now it's just the two of us. I understand, you understand me..." Sulu looked at the husky on the bed, still pretending to be the wolf king, just short of wearing a Erha: "Can you guarantee you'll listen to Isaac and won't control him?"

The Erha turned its head away, looking disdainful.

"Okay... I knew it..."

Sulu sighed, took out the materials, and began preparing for the ceremony.

His level of Occult Lore was already high enough, and with the ' Lore of the Mad God ' that he had compiled, there were several rituals that were quite suitable for the current situation.

"Rosemary powder... arranged in a circle, representing the ritual area!"

Harlock's expression changed slightly at his voice; he opened his mouth as if to bark at Sulu.

"Quiet!"

Sulu suddenly looked up, his eyes seemingly gleaming, and commanded with Words of Arrogance.

With his rank of third-tier [Thaumaturge], suppressing a dog that was only first-tier was naturally no problem for him.

Harlock immediately seemed to have his throat blocked, unable to utter a sound.

"Come in! Sit down!"

Sulu pointed to the circle and gave an Words of Arrogance command.

Harlock jumped off the bed involuntarily and sat obediently in the rosemary circle representing the ritual area.

"I don't intend to enslave you or sign any Master-Servant Pact. I'm just giving you a temporary contract as insurance to facilitate our communication..."

Of course, this also meant putting a leash on it.

Sulu didn't want to bring Harlock home only to find out something had happened to Mary.

"In my own name..."

"We will sign a temporary contract with you..."

"You must obey my orders... unless it endangers your life..."

After his advancement in Ancient Hebraic and Gulam Language, Sulu's understanding of incantations also improved rapidly.

The contract he was using at this time was a temporary one he had constructed in Ancient Hebraic.

It has a certain binding force, at least for Harlock.

This ensures that he can sense some of the other person's thoughts and use his mind to command them to provide certain information, provided, of course, that they are within close range.

The root cause of all this is the suppression of one's own class; rituals and contracts are merely auxiliary leashes.

Therefore, it is not suitable for Isaac.

"I hereby declare... the contract is established!"

Sulu didn't give Harlock a chance to choose, and announced it directly.

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light rose from the magic circle, splitting in two. One beam Sulu's brow, and the other Harlock's head.

In an instant, Sulu sensed another consciousness.

It was the personality of an eight or nine-year-old child; they couldn't speak and had difficulty expressing complex ideas.

But that was enough; Sulu could accurately grasp Harlock's emotions from its various high and low cries.

"Alright, get up!"

After thinking for a moment, he spoke in the Common Hebraic.

Harlock immediately stood up and wagged his tail at him.

"Clear away all traces of the ritual, let's get out!"

Sulu cleaned up the traces of some materials and then took Harlock outside.

"Has it been... resolved?"

Isaac and the others asked hesitantly.

Yes, everything went smoothly!

Sulu let Harlock out, and incidentally had it demonstrate its ability to remove its own makeup.

Um... basically, it's about using your teeth to tear off the messy silk and other things covering your body, without having to disguise yourself like a circus dog.

"Very good!"

Isaac clenched his fists, almost crying again, "I'm finally going to escape this nightmare. Mr. Sean, I'm counting on you. As for these Gold Dragon, I really can't accept them. Well, consider it Harlock's foster care fee."

"Okay!"

Sulu thought about it and didn't insist.

After all, solving Harlock's problem and guiding him into the extraordinary world was enough to offset the previous help.

13 Black Rose Road.

"We're here. Get down. This will be your temporary new home from now on."

Sulu got off the carriage and immediately had the somewhat dejected Harlock climb down with him.

He opened the apartment door and saw Mary cleaning.

"Sir... what is this?"

Mary looked at the Erha running excitedly around the room and asked curiously.

"This is Harlock... my friend's foster dog. Please clean his kennel and prepare food for him every day..."

Sulu stared at Harlock, somewhat speechless.

When it left Isaac, it seemed very reluctant and downcast, but as soon as it arrived in the new environment, it immediately became incredibly excited.

Has a dog's memory become as good as a goldfish's?

'Speaking of which... I'm a little curious about what path it took... Perhaps, in the future, I can delve into its inner workings?'

Sulu looked at Harlock and suddenly an idea came to him.

All Wisdom beings possess their own minds, corresponding to the mysteries of the Mind World!

But after careful consideration, Sulu gave up.

The danger level increases dramatically in the Mind Secret Realm of non-human beings. And what strange things might a dog's mind hold? It might be as bizarre as the Dream Spirit World, driving it insane!

"Harlock, come here!"

Thinking this through, Sulu wisely chose to give up and let Harlock come before him. "Without my permission, you are not allowed to enter the second floor, my bedroom, or the kitchen! The garden is your territory, but you cannot damage the flowers and plants there, understand?"

The Erha raised its front half, held up its front legs, stuck out its tongue, and had a fawning expression on its face.

"Ah! It's so intelligent."

Mary, who was watching from the sidelines, gasped in surprise, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

Believe me, you won't like it!

Sulu felt it necessary to give the Erha another warning: no harassing the maid!
