Back in his room, Rudeus gently closed the door, shutting out the noise from the outside world.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and began to seriously consider his next plan.
Roxy and Talhand are currently helping to repair the treehouse in the village;
Rujierd and Elinalise temporarily joined the settlement's warriors, taking on patrol and guard duties.
Everything seemed to be going well, but he knew perfectly well in his heart—
I can't stay here forever.
Even the Sacred Beast will eventually leave.
Since that's the case, we should leave something behind before we leave.
Besides... who knows, Gyes might become his father-in-law in the future?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and began to devise a new summoning magic circle.
Since we're going to leave a guardian behind, let's just summon an Emperor Rank familiar and have it continue to protect the beastman settlement.
First, determine the race.
Guardians of the Great Forest...
Tree spirit?
Hmm, that suits me well. It blends naturally with the forest atmosphere and is unlikely to cause rejection by beastmen.
Next is gender.
He rested his chin on his hand, pretending to ponder for a long while, before finally making a solemn decision:
"Female."
Of course, this was absolutely not out of any strange personal motives.
It's simply because females better fit the image of "guardians of the forest," and women are generally more approachable and more likely to gain the trust of the villagers.
That's right, that's exactly it.
As for height...
Rudeus muttered to himself as he drew runes:
Height has never been a standard for measuring strength, and a person's value does not change because of their height.
so--
Let's set it to 126 centimeters.
He nodded in satisfaction.
So tiny and cute.
Moreover, the essence lies in what is concentrated.
Now comes the most crucial part!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G...
Ah~ which one should I choose?
I can't wait!
But soon, his smile froze... What was the specific parameter rune for that value again?
When I summoned Yanli last time, I set it to "E".
But isn't putting an "E" size on a little girl a bit too much?
He clearly remembered that he had recorded the pattern in the manual.
His consciousness sank into the system's inventory, and he quickly pulled out the thick " Complete Book of Planar Spirit Summoning," which was thick enough to kill someone, and began to carefully examine it while sitting at the table.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of turning pages could be heard.
While Rudeus was immersed in his rune research--
"Whoosh!"
A silver-white figure suddenly darted in through the window.
It moved so fast that it left only a blur.
By the time he realized what was happening, the other party was already standing firmly in the center of the magic circle, its silvery-white tail still swaying gently behind it.
Rudeus's pupils contracted sharply.
" Sacred Beast?!"
The next second, he shouted almost reflexively:
"Wait! Your position is dangerous!"
Rudeus lunged forward, trying to push it off the magic circle.
However, it was too late.
The moment the incomplete summoning circle was stepped on by the Sacred Beast, all the runes lit up simultaneously.
"Buzz--------"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted.
A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky, piercing directly through the roof, while wood chips and sunlight rained down.
The raging magic manifested as visible ripples that spread wildly throughout the room.
Rudeus was thrown back several steps by the blast wave and could only raise his arm to shield himself from the blinding light.
After a long while, the roar gradually subsided.
The beam of light dissipated.
The room returned to quiet.
All that remained was the "patter, patter" of its tail slapping the ground.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The large white dog that had been crouching in the center of the magic circle had vanished without a trace.
Instead, it took its place.
It was a white-haired girl with animal ears, curled up in the center of the array.
Her long, smooth, snow-white hair cascaded down to her waist.
The fluffy dog ears twitched slightly.
Its bushy tail was unconsciously slapping the ground behind it.
Those golden eyes slowly opened.
His eyes held a newborn's innocent confusion and dependence.
and...
Her height is indeed only 126 centimeters.
Rudeus froze completely.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Before he could even gather his thoughts, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pounced on him.
Bang!
Rudeus was tackled to the ground.
A 126-centimeter-tall girl with animal ears tackled a 1.89-meter-tall man.
That sounds outrageous.
But reality is just that absurd.
The girl straddled me, her tail wagging excitedly, and she made soft, hesitant sounds.
"Master... likes..."
Rudeus's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
This is bad.
This is very bad.
If things continue like this, they will spiral out of control in a dangerous direction.
He quickly opened his system inventory, redeemed a piece of clothing, and hurriedly put it on her.
The Sacred Beast tilted its head and looked at him.
His eyes were filled with doubt.
He then reached out to tear the clothes off.
"Don't take it off!"
Rudeus immediately stopped him.
"Be obedient."
"Obedient?"
She blinked.
"If you listen to me..."
Will my owner hug me?
Rudeus answered instinctively:
"As long as you're obedient, I can basically satisfy your every need."
The words had barely left his mouth.
He realized something was wrong.
etc.
That sentence sounds a bit strange.
So he quickly added more.
That's not what I meant!
"Just do as I say."
"Okay~"
The Sacred Beast nodded obediently.
Put your clothes back on.
Then the next second.
It pounced on him again.
She wrapped her arms around Rudeus's neck.
She was hanging directly on him.
It looks like a large ornament.
Soft white hair brushed against my chest, and fluffy ears occasionally brushed against my chin.
Rudeus felt his sanity rapidly evaporating; if this continued, billions of lives would be lost!
"It's over..."
"This is really the end."
How can he explain to the clan leader that the Sacred Beast has become like this?
They can't exactly say they accidentally turned their Sacred Beast into a cute girl with animal ears, can they?
He took a deep breath and decided to try to distract himself.
"Well... now that you've become like this, you need a name."
The girl immediately looked up, her eyes shining like stars.
"Name!"
"Um..."
Rudeus gazed at her golden eyes and silvery fur, and pondered for a moment.
From now on, I'll call you Leona.
" Leona!"
She was so happy she almost jumped for joy, her tail wagging like a propeller.
"My master has given me a name!"
After saying that, she buried her face in my chest again, rubbing against me incessantly.
Rudeus felt he was about to reach his limit.
Just as he was about to solemnly give the order to "get off me," a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Bang!
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"What happens?!"
" Primordial God Impact, are you alright?"
Several orc warriors rushed in in a panic, followed by Gyes.
They were initially tense, but when they saw the scene in the room, everyone's expressions froze.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
Gyes ' gaze first fell on the roof with a large hole, then on the broken magic circle scattered on the ground, and finally slowly moved to the white-haired, dog-eared girl in Rudeus's arms.
His expression gradually became extremely complicated.
"Strangeness..."
He frowned, and his nostrils twitched slightly.
"I clearly smelled the aura of the Sacred Beast just now, and it was very strong... Logically, it should be here."
As he spoke, he looked around.
Finally, our attention returned to Rudeus.
" Primordial God Genshin."
His tone was more serious than ever before.
"Could you please explain what exactly is going on?"
Under the gaze of the crowd, Rudeus coughed lightly twice.
My mind started racing.
A few seconds later.
A seemingly perfect reason came to mind.
He simply nodded calmly.
Well... it's not complicated to explain.
He gently patted Leona in his arms as he spoke.
"I discovered the bloodline inheritance left by the Beast God within the Sacred Beast, so I used a secret technique to help it complete its awakening."
"As you saw, that strange phenomenon just now was the resonance between heaven and earth triggered by the awakening of bloodlines."
The orc warriors looked at each other in bewilderment.
Gyes stared intently at Leona's ears and tail, seemingly trying to understand everything before him.
Rudeus nodded solemnly, his tone so firm that even he almost believed it.
"That's right, no doubt about it."
He lifted the white-haired, beast-eared girl from his arms and solemnly announced:
"The one in my arms—that is your Sacred Beast beast."
