Strike!cowardly [interstellar]

Yao Zai'er's secret had just been discovered, and the next day, an uninvited guest appeared at Ludwig's manor.

"Hello, Marshal Lance, I am here to send you an invitation letter for the soul contract dog selection competition in the name of General Director Ai Weiluo."

"Understood." Lance had just come back from a morning run, his forehead was slightly moist and a little sexy.Every year, the letter inviting him to watch the game will be delivered on time, but he will hardly go to participate.Firstly, he doesn't have his own soul contract dog, and secondly, the chief executive of Aveiro belongs to Sauron, so he often has to join in the fun.

The smell of breakfast wafted from the kitchen, and without thinking, one knew that a certain white dumpling was already squatting at the door, salivating.

He took off the hair tie, took the envelope, and strode into the house.

The waiter who delivered the letter at the back bowed and saluted, "Director Aveiro is looking forward to your performance with your pet dog."

Lance had already walked into the living room, and Bai Tuanzi ran towards him. Hearing this, everyone stopped and turned to look at him.

The waiter had already left, Lance frowned, reached out and tore open the envelope, inside was a chip in the shape of a dog's head, he took it out and inserted it into his personal terminal.Immediately, a projection appeared in front of him——

【Registration Confirmation Letter for the Great Universe Century 3065 Soul Puppy Selection Contest】

Owner: Lance Ludwig

Participating dog: Apollo

Breed: Samoyed

Age: 3 months

Mental quality [preliminary review]: C grade

Physical fitness [preliminary review]: S rank

Whether to pass the audit: yes

There is also the official seal of the Soul Contract Dog United Front Company and the private seal of Ai Weiruo himself on the bottom.

Lance's eyes narrowed sharply, and he raised his hand to open the communication.

"What's the matter, boss? Is it Apollo and what new discovery?"

"Someone signed up Apollo for this year's soul bond dog trials."

"What?!" Gebaton's voice suddenly rose, "All the participating dogs are adult dogs over one year old! Then there will be a duel, how can a puppy fight? Let alone..."

Apollo is so timid.

He asked with the last sliver of hope: "Boss, is the final chapter stamped?"

Just after asking, my terminal received a photo with two big seals on it, very eye-catching.

"..."

Gerbatton was silent, and Lance was speechless for a while.Only Yao Zai'er saw Fanny coming out of the kitchen with breakfast, and followed behind excitedly wagging her tail, not at all looking like she was about to go to the duel.

In the past, he always said that he wanted to let him practice and practice, but when it happened, Lance could only rub his forehead with a headache.

Let this little brat go to a duel with other fierce dogs?It is estimated that he will be scared into a sieve on the spot.

But he didn't realize that he was not very angry with Apollo's possible performance, but instead had the urge to write a duel letter to Sauron.

Thinking of his malicious smile that day at the banquet, I wish I could go there and tear him apart right now.

His soul dog can reprimand him however he likes, but it's not someone else's turn to make trouble.

……

"Boss! What should we do now? Go to His Majesty and explain the situation?" Gerbatton rushed to Ludwig's Manor immediately. Molly also heard the news, and several people gathered in the garden to discuss countermeasures.

"Your Majesty is 'everyday', and will take care of a small soul contract dog competition?" Molly snorted lightly and snorted disdainfully, "Besides, he is so partial to Sauron, who knows if there is his acquiescence in it! "

Gbaton was dumbfounded, "Then what should I do..."

The two of them looked at Lance. Lance didn't speak all the time. He sat on the wooden frame and looked at Baituanzi who was chewing the raw stone with Nezha not far away.

"Boss?" Molly called softly.

"No need to compare, I will announce my abstention at that time."

He said it easily, but Gbatton and Molly were so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths open——

admit defeat?

Abstain?

These two words, which could never appear in Lance's dictionary, would be said so lightly by him?

"What's wrong?" Lance turned to look at the two of them.

"Boss... Didn't it just happen that you fell into Sauron's scheme?" Gbadden stammered.

"That's right, boss, he used his tricks to report Apollo, just to make you look ugly in front of the people of the entire galaxy!" Molly looked excited, "Who would have thought that Marshal Lance's soul dog would be like that... ...that way..."

"timid?"

Molly fell silent.

Lance sneered, his handsome eyebrows raised unruly arcs, and his voice was low, "So what if it's timid? No matter how useless it is, it's still my Lance's soul dog, and it's no one's turn to tell me what to do. With me, it just lies on the ground. If you sleep on the field, you can sleep soundly. If Zoro refuses to accept it, let him take the challenge and roll over."

"What good is he and his soul contract dog no matter how powerful they are? But they are all defeated."

Gbadden and Molly's eyes showed admiration. He said so, and the burden in their hearts was relieved.

That's right, the owner and the soul contract dog are inseparable, and one party is not enough to make up for the other.With a powerful master like Lance, even if Apollo can only act cute, he can lie down and win.

"What I'm worried about now is not the competition, but that Apollo's mental power will be exposed if it reaches S level." Lance's words successfully calmed the hearts of the two of them again.

To ensure fairness, all quasi-hundred dogs will undergo a physical examination again before participating in the competition. After that, Apollo's double S data will definitely cause an uproar in the empire.

Lance chose to conceal this data for the first time, also to protect Apollo.

It is still too weak to stand alone.By doing this, Lance took it under his wing and truly accepted it.

On the lawn, the little cubs playing with Nezha carefree, so happy.

For some reason, Gebadun's heart surged suddenly, and he even looked forward to it... One day, Apollo really grew up, and he went out to fight with them to kill the enemy and defend his home country...

***

The game time came in such a hurry that it was too late to give Yao Zaier special training.On the day of the competition, Gbadden and Molly arrived at the Ludwig Manor early in the morning, bringing their own soul dogs.

It was the first time that Yao Zai'er saw Molly's soul contract dog. It was a mighty castellan with short black hair, not tall but very strong.

"Lily is an improved breed of shepherd dog from the ancient Italy of the parent planet. She is very good at dog fighting. She was the champion of the soul contract dog fighting competition three years ago." Gebaton kindly took Molly's soul contract dog. When Yao Zai'er came near, he didn't let go of the leash because he was afraid that it would be afraid, and said with a light smile, "Lily, this is Apollo, take good care of my younger brother in the future."

Lily leaned down and sniffed Yao Zai'er, and Yao Zai'er dodged back helplessly. Unexpectedly——Lily also retracted her nose quickly, and lay on the ground with a low whimper. .

"Lily!" Molly uttered in confusion, and Lily returned to her master with her tail between her legs.Molly reached out and touched its head, wondering, "What's wrong with it?"

"Scared by the boss?" Gerbatton pointed to Lance who had stood behind Yao Zai'er at some point. The tall man looked like a huge mountain that could not be climbed, looking very safe and reliable.

"Lily, it's okay, it's okay..." Molly continued to calm down, but she always felt weird when she saw that Heizi of Gebadun was circling around in front of Apollo as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that the strange dog was far away, Yao Zai'er relaxed his vigilance slightly, let out his breath, his tense body returned to softness, got up and shook his fluffy fur.

Lily felt the frightening pressure around her gradually dissipate, and poked her head out from behind her master with aggrieved eyes, staring innocently and timidly at Yao Zaier, but no matter how much the master coaxed her, she refused to come forward again. step.

Lance: "Molly, take your dog away, it's scaring Apollo."

Molly: "???"

Lily [Storm style grievance crying]: Aww...

If Molly had activated the communicator at this time, she would hear her dog cry again: "Hey, I don't want it, my brother is really scary!" ! !

Yao Zai'er has now reached the stage of enlightenment, and the coercion on Yaoxiu's body grows stronger with the increase in cultivation level, which will naturally make unwise animals feel dangerous and frightened.

The more afraid Yao Zai'er is, the greater the coercion released from his body will be unconsciously.

It was the first time Lily encountered this kind of invisible mysterious power. The strong sense of oppression made her shiver, and at the same time felt that the cute-looking cub was much more terrifying than the Zerg!And because Heizi was familiar with Yao Zai'er, he didn't feel anything unusual.

Yao Zai'er and Hei Zi chased and ran farther and farther, Yao Zai'er happily jumped into a bush, and suddenly heard no sound from behind, it went out from the other end, and saw Mrs. Ludwig, who hadn't seen him for a long time, standing By the bushes, the weather turned slightly cooler, she wore a thick cloak over her long skirt, elegant and indifferent.

Yao Zai'er stopped and looked at her carefully, seeing her calm face, he quietly wagged his tail.

Mrs. Ludwig looked at it indifferently, and said in an insignificant voice: "Follow me."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked back, Yao Zai'er followed behind, walking on short legs.

"How old are you?"

"Aww!" Almost a hundred years old!

"Forget it, try it." Mrs. Ludwig returned to the bench and sat down, took out a collar from the wooden box beside her, lowered her head inexperiencedly, and put it on.

The fingers touched the soft down around its neck for the first time, with a delicate and silky feel. After a slight pause, the warm breath passed from the skin, as if it warmed her cold fingertips.

Yao Zai'er sticks out his tongue, "hahaha" obediently lets her play with his neck.The corners of the mouth are naturally curved upwards, as if smiling, and the moist and innocent almond eyes are full of unsuspecting trust.

Mrs. Ludwig's brows and eyes gradually loosened, and she murmured: "With this temper, how can Lance take you to participate in the competition..."

The light on the collar came on.

"It still works, it looks like he is an adult?" Mrs. Ludwig looked at the youngest cub whose lanugo hair had not faded, and shook her head, "If the development is so slow, it means malnutrition. Lance used to refuse Study the soul contract dog's parenting manual carefully, and now I have wronged you."

"Ow."

Three words are displayed on the personal terminal on the wrist——

"Don't feel wronged~"

She carefully glanced at the value below again, and saw that it did not show any negative emotions such as the target dog's hostility towards her, and the last bit of resentment in her heart dissipated.

Mrs. Ludwig really smiled, albeit faintly.Between the eyebrows and eyes, it seems that the gentleness of the past can be seen.

This magical little guy really didn't hold grudges away because of his scolding.

"I have followed Adam to the soul contract dog trials several times. I don't know if Lance has told you about it. It is divided into three competitions. The first test is the search ability of the soul contract dog, and you need to participate alone; the second The field is to examine the tacit understanding and obedience between the master and the soul contract dog. With Lance, you don’t have to worry too much. The terrible thing is the final duel. I have seen with my own eyes that some participating dogs were bitten or directly Bite to death..."

Yao Zai'er shuddered, his eyes full of terror.Lance didn't tell it this, and it didn't know what it was going to face...

Mrs. Ludwig sighed softly, hugged it on her lap, and passed a pill in her hand, "Be obedient, take this."

Yao Zai'er looked at the black pills, then at Mrs. Ludwig, lowered his head, stuck out his small tongue and licked the pills into his mouth.

Frau Ludwig smiled with satisfaction.This is the tranquilizing medicine she often takes before going to bed. It is the best result for the little guy to fall asleep and escape the catastrophe.

If Lance wants to abandon it because he lost face in the game, then he will carry it to the attic.This is also a poor life, and she will take it in.

Based on what she knew about Lance, it was absolutely impossible for him to abstain.Forcibly sending the little guy to the duel field, most likely he will come back dead.

Mrs. Ludwig, who felt that she had done a good deed, gently touched Yao Zai'er's head, put it back on the ground, and blinked, "Go, go to sleep in your master's arms."

"Boss, it's almost time, we should go." Gbadden glanced at the time and looked around, "Strange, where did those two guys go?"

"Apollo! Sunspot!"

Hearing the call, Yao Zai'er howled twice, glanced at Mrs. Ludwig again, turned around and got out of the bushes.Meet up with Heizi who has been wandering outside cowardly, and the two ran back together.

"Where did you go?" Gebadun called Heizi, and was about to pick up the cub, when Lance took a step ahead of him, but first lowered his body and brushed the hair on its neck——on it, there was a The familiar collar.

"Huh?" Gerbatton and Molly also squatted down, recognized it, and said in surprise, "It's the communication device of the old Marshal Ludwig! How could Apollo..."

For a while, the two stopped talking, their eyes followed Lance's, and looked in the direction of the attic.

"Boss, it's Madam...? Do you want to check with Apollo again?" Molly asked worriedly.

"It's really too late!" Gebaton looked at the time again, also anxiously.

I saw Lance stand up, hold Yao Zai'er in his arms, and said lightly: "Let's go."

Seeing him turn around and walk towards the aircraft, Gebaton strode to catch up, worried: "Boss, but what about Apollo's physical examination? How can we not expose it?"

Lan Si freed his hand and shook the medical certificate issued by the Ludwig family veterinarian.

The mental quality above is a big C-level, which is the same level as Major Haimeng's dedication.

Gbarton stared wide-eyed, "Boss, you want to fake it!"

"I'm going to abstain, so what if I fake it."
