Ch17 – [Black Knight XVII]
Themselves reason he was stunned was that Gu Huai found at first glance that he had seen the plush creature in the memory image provided by Alger.
“Chirp.” While the young man was still stunned, the cub dragged its silver tail closer to the young man, and after approaching a certain distance, it jumped into the young man’s arms.
His joy of being held could be seen by the movement of his tail, the round cub raised his head again and looked at the young zerg who wanted to see his trademark golden pupils.
“Chirp.”
At this time, Gu Huai touched the silver tail with his finger, as soon as his finger touched it, the tail eagerly wrapped around it.
Compared to his form, his silver tail was not too long. It was impossible to encircle the waist of young zerg, it was still possible to encircle his finger and wrist.
The tail was the first part of the body to shed the villus and complete the advanced metamorphosis. In his cub form, Alves could not control his tail freely, but his tail was touched by the youth, his instinct was to encircle those fingers.
After being trapped by his tail, Gu Huai did not move, instead he reached out his other hand that could move freely and rubbed the cub gently on his back.
Furry, soft… It felt very good.
After all, Gu Huai hadn’t been able to figure out what the other’s situation was.
“Chirp.” Being rubbed, the Zerg cub raised its eyes and continued chirping at the young zerg.
There was no doubt that there was a great difference between the simulation of his adult and cub form. Hearing the crisp and soft chirp now, and recalling the other’s previous chirp with a deep voice in human form, Gu Huai suddenly felt a subtle feeling that he couldn’t describe.
Holding the cub away his chest a bit, Gu Huai asked, “How did you become like this?”
Waking up, Gu Huai felt that there were many different changes, his perception ability was a little bit better than before… He could clearly perceive that the Zerg cub in front of him was as strong as his adult form.
After asking the question, Gu Huai established a spiritual link to make it easier for the other to understand him.
Gu Huai: “…”
It seems that it did not want to be pushed aside. Gu Huai suddenly realized this and he felt that the chirp he just heard was much sadder. The zerg was a cub right now. Gu Huai’s heart felt a little guilty.
To compensate for what he had just done, Gu Huai reached out and picked up the plush creature and rubbed his back calmly. In this way, Gu Huai also had time to carefully observe the furball in his hands.
When the zerg jumped on his leg, huddled down and raised his head, Gu Huai almost thought he saw a fat bird at first sight.
However, this was probably only an illusion caused by the combination of various conditions, because there was a big difference between the two. First of all, there was no such bird in the world…
When he saw the zerg in the memory image, there was no reference, so Gu Huai didn’t know how big the cub was at that time.
Now personally holding it, Gu Huai felt the weight very directly. The figure was bigger than the average rabbit, but holding it was not very laborious.
There was no beak, and although it chirped, its mouth was not as sharp as a bird’s.
Gu Huai reached out his forefinger and touched the zerg’s mouth, but in the instant he touched it, Gu Huai felt a little moisture on his finger.
He was licked…
“Chirp-“. Originally with the pale gold pupil closely staring at the young zerg’s elongated fingers, it stretched out it’s tongue and licked the young zerg’s fingertips, this plush, soft zerg cub, continued to rub itself on the young king’s arms.
The degree of intimacy could be felt by people with normal senses. Gu Huai couldn’t resist or reject anything if he was attached to such a cub expressing intimacy. To be precise, he now found it difficult to push the puppy away from him, because he would definitely feel guilty.
Holding the cub, Gu Huai could feel it’s four
short legs rubbing against him. It was really short. At first, when the other stood with its legs and looked up, he could not see the legs at all.
If he could see it’s legs, maybe Gu Huai would not think at first that he saw a fat bird, the zerg’s chirp also had a certain misleading effect.
And this structure was quite special, like the wings of a small bird…
The cub Alves seen in the memory image did not have this flying structure yet. It could be inferred that the cub’s shape was a little bigger than that in the memory image, because new structural parts had been developed in his advancement stage.
“Can you fly…?” Gu Huai asked, he could not help but to feel a little hesitant. He didn’t want to doubt anything, but even people in his original world would struggle about how a fat bird could fly on such a small pair of wings. Gu Huai also had the same doubts about the cub he was holding.
Speaking of it, when the zerg was in his human form, he chose to retain his tail. Before today, Gu Huai had no idea that Alves had such a flight structure.
Hearing the young man’s question, the young Zerg cub, who was embraced and caressed, quickly chirped, jumped out of the young zerg’s arms and onto the youth’s legs, and began to flap his wings.
But after several seconds of flapping, the silver, round cub failed to fly, and fell off at a height of about a centimeter.
“…” Faced with this scene, Gu Huai was stunned, then coughed a few times to hide his laughter. However, when he saw the cub on his leg, it seemed stunned and remained motionless. Gu Huai took the cub back into his arms without much thought and continued to caress him.
If he couldn’t fly, he couldn’t. He could see the wings were quite small compared with his body. Gu Huai felt a bit complicated.
Using his ability to change his appearance, Alves neglected some of the things in this form. In this form, the structural parts it used to fly had not yet matured, so at this stage it could not fly.
“Chirp…” The young Zerg cub, who was being comforted for his failure, chirped quietly and enjoyed lying in the youth’s arms. The silver tail of the young zerg’s finger was no longer moving from time to time.
“Can you be changed back, right?” Asking this important question, Gu Huai looked at the cub that looked like a fat bird from a certain point of view and continued to stroke it’s hair.
Because of the small size of the cub, even if it did not curl up or crouch, it still looked round. This appearance made Gu Huai a little less resistant, not to mention that the zerg seemed to have mastered some sticky skills.
“Chirp.” He rubbed his head against the young zerg’s neck, and Alves affirmed the youth’s questions.
At this time, the communication device fixed at the head of the bed rang.
It was a communication request from the Chief of Staff. Gu Huai ordered the white ball, which was still nestled in his arms, to accept the request.
The Communication request was accepted, looking at the young king sitting up on the bed at the other end of the virtual screen and the white plush creature in his arms, and then seeing the silver tail behind the cub… The Chief of Staff picked up the document without delay then fell into a long silence with the others.
