'Kevin is right, Jackal is very useful in non-combat areas!'
Returning from Europe to Shenzhou, in the base of the Heliopolis Life Sciences Arc City Branch, Jackal carefully cut open the chest of the local specialty she brought back—Otto's soulium body—and sighed in her heart.
From the setting of the original world, Jackal should be a little worse than Tesla, Einstein, Otto, and other Century Star scientists.
But as a top researcher recognized by Gray Serpent and Kevin, she is already the best scientist under those top stars.
Especially in her specialized research on the structure of Honkai Beasts and Honkai Zombies, those top notch scientists may not be much better than her. In addition to the scientific and technological achievements of the previous civilization that she has inherited, in the current era, when talking about Honkai, perhaps no one can understand it better than Jackal.
'Thanks to this mission, Jackal left Gray Serpent's sight and accompanied the unfamiliar Island Exploding Crow. Only then will we have time to absorb and digest her personality and knowledge, and make a perfect transition without leaving any flaws.'
'This knowledge is very useful!'
'Researching and transforming Honkai creatures is Jackal's specialty, and controlling Honkai creatures is the specialty of the Herrscher of Dominance. This is so suitable, I am so excited~~'
'Inspiration! Inspiration is emerging!'
Angel joined the discussion with great interest.
At this time, the sound of the alloy electronic door opening came.
Gray Serpent walked in, accompanied by a slightly heavy and low voice:
"Otto finally discovered the abnormal space above the Thames, and the Cosmic Juggernaut was taken away."
"It's expected, what's there to emphasize?"
Jackal spoke without raising her head, concentrating on studying Otto's body.
Gray Serpent felt a little comforted when he saw Jackal concentrating on scientific research. He said with regret:
"Lord Shamash activated the hidden device and tried to drop Cosmic Juggernaut into the quantum sea, but he failed to stop them in the end. Now, I don't know if he is still safe."
"How many years do you think Cosmic Juggernaut has been sealed? More than two thousand years have passed, and the ELF is not equipped with the Divine Key or the Herrscher Core. His battery system will wear out and age. It is better to say that Lord Shamash was an unexpected surprise gift for Otto after unsealing."
Jackal said casually while her hands carefully moving in Otto's open chest and observing the delicate structure inside.
But at an angle that Gray Serpent didn't see, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
'Don't worry, Gray Serpent, you will naturally see Lord Shamash in two days!'
Speaking of which, Shamash ELF is the technological crystallization of scientists in the previous era, and Gray Serpent is the technological creation of Mobius. In fact, they should be in an equal relationship.
But Gray Serpent still took the initiative to put Shamash above himself because Shamash was created based on Kevin, and in a certain sense, it symbolizes Kevin's will and consciousness.
Gray Serpent's reverence for Lord Kevin is evident.
It is also an interesting thing that Mobius's creation is a loyal fan of Kevin!
Gray Serpent shook his head and put his scarlet artificial eye on Otto's body.
"There is no other way now. Before the Lord returns, we should not act in a high-profile manner and cannot have a substantial conflict with destiny. Let's stop here. So, has Otto's soulium body been researched?"
"It's a very clever structure, maybe it can be used in the transformation of your clone. It's the only gain this time, a little insignificant interest."
"I only ask for zero risk. Serpent is just a follower and assistant of the Lord. I don't need combat power. Stability and reliability are more important."
"You still want to fight? Don't make trouble. I don't have the ability to upgrade you to Cocolia's BT72. Your underlying logic is not that material."
Jackal sneered, and her arrogant and sarcastic smile was no different from the past.
Anyway, Gray Serpent had no reaction, with a calm attitude that he had long been accustomed to. "But, regarding the funding, I hope you will stop at the right time."
"What does World Serpent need? It's not even enough for my lab!"
"Research funding is research funding, and activity funding is activity funding. They can't be mixed up. Research, construction, intelligence, and operation, each item requires reasonable planning of funding, otherwise there will be problems."
"I don't understand why you indulge that little crow so much. Anyway, from my point of view, loyalty is absolutely not loyalty. She was able to quit the organization on a whim before, and now she may betray us at will."
Jackal suddenly changed the subject.
Gray Serpent was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly.
"So your spending is actually testing her? No wonder, I knew from before you don't seem to have the hobby of shopping without restraint!"
"I'm just doing it for fun. From my observation, she doesn't appear to be easily bribed by other organizations and come back as a spy. In addition, she is indeed greedy for money. If the money is in place, she should be reliable."
"Although I can understand, I still hope you trust my judgment and don't act on your own next time."
"That little crow is a rare Seven Thunders holder. It is an absolutely accurate shot that disintegrates everything. If used properly, it is better than a real Herrscher. I am not as careless as you. I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes."
Jackal had an attitude of doing what she wants, and obviously did not take Gray Serpent's advice to heart.
Gray Serpent shook his head speechlessly.
He could fully understand Jackal's reasoning in this matter. The value of the Divine Key is inestimable, and the position of the World Serpent Agent is also very important.
Jackal's caution left the Gray Serpent speechless, and he even had to praise it in his heart.
'Jackal is not as reckless and careless as she seems on the surface. The impression in the past is still biased. When it comes to serious matters, she is also very reliable. My Lord, if you can see her current quality, you will be relieved, right?'
...
"Meow~~"
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Destiny Headquarters which was full of flowers and bright sunshine, a gray cat lay on the white and soft thighs of Durandal, making lazy calls.
Durandal's eyes lit up, and with uncontrollable love, she stroked the soft and silky hair fascinatedly.
Rita made tea for Durandal and Otto, and her bright eyes froze on the kitten and Durandal's thighs for a moment, and her eyes sank.
"Lady. Durandal appears to like it very much!"
"Of course! I don't know why other kittens are very resistant to my approach, only Stan is willing to get close to me! Rita, are our cattery and cat food ready?"
"Of course, Rita will never dare to neglect the request of Lady Durandal."
"That's good! Stan, you will live with us from now on, are you happy?"
"Meow~~"
Durandal picked up the cat excitedly and rubbed it against her face, looking happy, and the kitten also responded docilely and weakly.
Durandal then smiled even more brilliantly, like the flowers in the garden, blooming freely in the sun.
Rita looked at the smile and smiled and shook her head - that's all, as long as Lady Bianka is happy, the previous minor friction is no longer important.
