Legend of Eudemons

The room they walked out to was a spacious and bright hall. In the middle was a round thing that looked like a fighting arena. It was astonishingly large, and dozens of people standing in it only seemed insignificant.The arena is surrounded by a wide circle of water, like a moat, with water waves flowing.The reviewers sat in a circle around it.Grand Duke Cotrafa, Oraloga, Luo Jie, and Somer are all among them, whispering to each other, as well as Antonio, Delone, Rococo, Keina, and Farman.Antonio and Roco were not involved, so they were very relaxed. It was the first time for Kena and Farman to participate in this kind of event, so they seemed quite nervous.Although Delloni was also involved, he still acted as if he didn't care about anything.Juliet was not there, but her assistant, Maria Liya, was sitting in the judging box, acting as her replacement, with a serious expression on her face.There are also some old pedantic old men and old women, and uncles who seem to be very difficult to mess with. They should be representatives of the military.There are also some royal family members sitting behind, adding up to dozens of people, probably more than the phantom beasts participating in the selection.

Speaking of which, what kind of selection method would this selection be?This atmosphere looks a lot like a beauty contest, doesn't it?Is it a talent show?Skills Showcase?

...I feel so stupid when I think about it.

"Anyway, in terms of strength, no one should be able to outshine you." Auraloga whispered.

"But he may not be good at taking care of the prince." Grand Duke Kotlaka said loudly.This opinion is the same as her previous speech, it is simply too stubborn. "We have a lot of great candidates."

"What kind of phantom beast does Marialia think is better?" Rococo said to the serious-looking Marialia.

"Of course the one with the strongest power." Maria Liya said in a meticulous tone without even smiling at the princess.

"It's really a tough fighter~" Rococo and Rose smiled at each other.

A large group of Eudemons who participated in the election rushed onto the stage, and Shiratori and Blackman were ranked last because they were at the end.And the guy who tripped Shiratori was also standing not far in front of them, vaguely feeling that he seemed to be looking in Shiratori's direction.

All kinds of phantom beasts stand in a row, which should be a rare and spectacular sight.But even among this group of phantom beasts with different appearances and competing for splendor, Shiratori is still the most conspicuous.

"It's pure white...is that natural?" said a younger member of the judges. "Or an albino?"

"It's born like that," Luo Jie said, "it's a rare phantom beast named Shiratori."

"Well, if it is an albino, the eyes should show the color of blood vessels." A female judge said.

"It's a white bird? I thought the white bird was extinct," another uncle said, "but, he is still a baby bird, right? Although the adult body of the white bird is a rare and strong one who dominates the sky, the baby bird is very weak. Can he already fly?"

"Yes." Luo Jie smiled.

"He's actually an adult. It's just that he looks like a baby bird on the outside." Kotlaka interjected, still holding a lofty air, looking very knowledgeable.

"Adult body?" Both Rococo and Delony were surprised. "I thought he was a child," said Delloni, startled, "but then again, how old is 'White Bird'?"

No one answered him, everyone was in an academic discussion, another scholarly middle-aged woman said: "Is it some kind of mutation? There is too little information about the phantom beast like the white bird, and I don't know about this kind of mutation." Does it affect his physical condition?"

"You're being stupid again! Mrs. Barati," Luo Keke said dismissively, "Everyone has passed the medical examination, OK?"

"That's right," the woman looked a little embarrassed, but quickly found a way to cover up her embarrassment: "I mean, even if he passes the physical examination, will his body suddenly mutate?"

"I'm thinking too much again~" Luo Keke disagreed. "Where can mutation go?"

"At most, it's going to die halfway." Rose, her assistant, also interjected. "If he dies suddenly in the middle of his work, just replace him with a new Eudemon."

Delloni gave her a surprised look, but Rose was a little surprised: "Isn't it?"

"No, you're right," Delloni said, turning his head, "but it's really cold."

"The owner of the Eudemons is such an existence. We only need to do our best for the royal family." Maria Liya also agreed with Rose's thoughts.

"You don't need to miss anything when you die?" Delloni held his chin and looked at the silhouette of the Eudemons in the venue. "I don't like this."

"Cough, then." It was Kotraka who presided over this selection—this kind of matter should not be in charge of a royal family member like her, but she always takes the lead. She also presided over the audition with Juliette.Now everyone is used to it.

"Everyone is excellent phantom beasts recommended by phantom beast training." Kotlaka said, "There is no need to say anything else. This time it is for His Royal Highness Prince Dalony, His Royal Highness Prince Cainard and His Royal Highness Prince Farman selects the Assistant Officer of Eudemons." She gestured to the three people in the seat with her eyes.

"That's the end of the opening talk. First, please show your beast form."

Oh~ This development is quite simple and clear, straight to the point.But there is really no need to procrastinate and keep talking about the scene.

The staff member asked them to step forward one by one and show their animal form.To be honest, it's a bit like a peacock spreading its tail and competing for beauty.Everyone showed their animal posture without saying a word, and each of them showed it in a very gorgeous and exaggerated way.Originally, it is not easy to show the beast-like posture of the Eudemons, which is tantamount to showing one's own weakness. It would be very dangerous to do so casually in a natural living environment.Unless you are facing someone you trust enough or when you are extremely weak, you will never reveal your true body.But the Eudemons at the selection meeting undoubtedly lived in human society and were domesticated by humans, so of course they didn't care.

Everyone showed their own amazing and unique animal-shaped postures, which can be called colorful and colorful in the true sense.The scene is simply a rare "fantasy" in the world.Aquatic phantom beasts including mermaids also swam around in the "moat", and the waves and lins were very dazzling under the bright light.Now Shiratori knows why there is a circle of water around the venue, it must be prepared for this kind of time.The judges also exclaimed from time to time, but most of them were young nobles and princes. Those old scholars obviously saw this kind of scene a lot, and they all seemed very calm.

It was the turn of the guy who tripped Shiratori—Blackman said he was called "Kui Yue", and the name read by the staff was indeed this.

He stepped forward, high-spirited and high-spirited.In the amber pupils, there is an aura of no one else.Shiratori stared at him closely, and Blackman next to him whispered, "Don't worry so much~! Little Shiratori's eyes are so scary!"

The guy closed his eyes, and a whirlwind swept his body. His body began to change. His body was covered with soft fur with beautiful markings. His arms gradually turned into thick animal claws, and his eyes turned golden yellow and round. A beautiful face, a large body full of graceful muscles and a sense of strength.

It is "leopard cat".

A ferocious beast among terrestrial species, a very rare phantom beast.Phantom beasts are like animals, the more powerful they are at the top of the food chain, the rarer they are. The population size and reproductive capacity are inversely proportional to strength. The "carnivorous" phantom beasts are also generally stronger than the "herbivorous" phantom beasts.

Among the phantom beasts shown so far, this guy is the strongest and rarest beast among the terrestrial species, no wonder he looks arrogant.

"Hey, is that a leopard cat?"

"It's a combination of strength and beauty, it's very rare, and it's a phantom beast that can show the royal style."

"This is the first time I've seen the real thing. I really didn't expect to see such a rare thing."

Faintly heard the judges talking.Phantom beasts have better hearing than humans, and can capture even clutter and tiny things.

"But the leopard cat seems too fierce." Some people objected.

"What are you talking about, haven't all the Eudemons here have been domesticated?"

It was Rococo who said this.

"No, it's not so easy to completely get rid of the wild nature of a beast like a leopard cat. It's hard to get rid of it even if it's born in the Phantom Beast Training Institute."

"Oh? I think it's more interesting to keep a little wild." Daloni said.

"I agree with His Majesty Dalony's opinion," Maria Liya said, "If phantom beasts, especially ferocious beasts, lose their ferocity, their strength will also drop significantly. Then there is no point in being a ferocious beast. Any herbivore will Can."

From the comments of the judges, it can be seen that this guy left at least a strong impression.

Next was a female Eudemon with bright red vertical long hair, this guy Shiratori also had an impression of, when he first entered the door of the preparation room, he was discussed with a large group of people.She was dressed in a red robe, and her hair was the color of a fresh tomato.Listening to the staff calling her name is called Luna Kiston.

"Contestant Luna Keyston, it's time to start transforming!" She waved her hands energetically.If Shiratori had something in its mouth at this moment, it would definitely spit it out in one go.

In a burst of red mist, Luna Kiston's red hair became so long that it hangs down, her upper body still maintains a human shape, and her lower body becomes a fishtail.Another mermaid.

Her tail was the same tomato red as her hair, like a red goldfish.The face also changed slightly, some patterns appeared on the body, and some scales appeared on the arms.She flicked her golden-red shiny tail and jumped in the water, showing off her beautiful tail and fins.

Rococo teased Maria Lia: "It's Maria Lia's kind again, this time there are many mermaids."

"It's different. I'm from the sea, and that guy is a "koi carp". There are only freshwater species with good-looking appearance. You can't even dive below 200 meters."

"Huh~? Miss Marialia doesn't seem to think highly of her."

"It's not that I don't look down on it. The phantom beast like 'koi' is not a very strong phantom beast innately. It can't take advantage of this kind of selection. Because this is not a selection of animals to watch. Unless she has a chance in the later projects To make up for the lack of physical function is to make up for more outstanding points." Maria Liya said indifferently.

"But this is just the beginning, isn't it?" Daloni said, "Just seeing the prototype of the beast shape, it can't be used as a basis for choosing or not."

"Exactly," said Grand Duke Kotlaka. "It must be strictly checked and screened layer by layer before the results can be obtained at the end."

But Dalony didn't take it seriously.Grand Duke Kotlaka spoke seriously, but Delloni just yawned.

It was Blackman's turn.He straightened his back, probably to encourage himself, the imposing manner was too majestic and arrogant, and Shiratori almost burst out laughing when he was too straight.

"Do you still need to look at it?" Kotraka said, "This is the fourth time this year, right? His Eudemons shape can be drawn with eyes closed."

"The judges change every year." Oraloga said, "It must be shown to those who haven't seen it."

"I don't think that guy is good. He who has been defeated three times still has a little illusion, thinking that he still has a chance." Kotlaka said. "The same is true for the training institute, which actually mentions him as a candidate every year."

"It can be mentioned as a candidate every year, which shows that it still has its advantages." Somer said. "And his martial arts scores have always been very high. The animal form is also very impressive....But, it's just that the human form is quite mediocre."

While they were talking, Blackman's transformation had already begun.A pair of huge beige wings stretched out from behind, followed by scattered red feathers covering the sky and falling on the ground like brocade.

Huge red bird.

The animal shape of the ibis is taller than a human, with a beautiful long neck covered with exquisite feathers, and the tail feathers are spread out and softly, and the gorgeous crimson and beige patterns are intertwined.The beak was crimson with a waxy sheen, and the golden eyes were round and large, with round, black pupils like eagles.It looks very gorgeous.

Shiratori whistled.Luna Kiston, who was standing next to him, gave him a dissatisfied look.

"what happened?"

He could have ignored her, but somehow he spoke provocatively.

"You are too frivolous, and this is in front of your Highnesses!" Her tone was very aggressive, but the voice was so small that only the ears of phantom beasts could hear it.

White Bird didn't care.And now it's his turn.
