Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 1804 My name is Li Abao

Looking at Duminas's confused look, Lin Youde was basically certain that this guy had really lost his memory and didn't even know who he was serving.

After all, eyes may be able to deceive through acting, but emotions cannot.

As a new human, Lin Youde can clearly sense Duminas’s surprise and confusion at this moment.

"Lord Darkbrain? I see, I see..."

Lin Youde looked at Duminas muttering to himself without stopping or interrupting his thoughts.

He waited until the other party had thought it through before asking.

"Mr. Duminus, we have completed your request. Next, should we talk about something else?"

Lin Youde's words brought Duminas back to his senses.

"Oh? What did you want to talk about?"

Lin Youde smiled faintly: "I have said before that our clan is very interested in some human emotions, which is also the reason for the marriage of our children."

"According to Earth's customs, when a man and a woman get married, the man has to give a betrothal gift and the woman has to prepare a dowry."

"The answer I gave you before is considered as our betrothal gift. As for the dowry, should you prepare it?"

Duminas's big eyes were full of confusion.

"Dowry? Dowry? Is there such a thing in the Earthlings' view of marriage?"

Lin Youde answered confidently, "Yes, according to our investigation, this kind of thing has been going on on Earth for thousands of years. If you don't believe me, you can check it out yourself."

Seeing Lin Youde say this, Duminas, who had just been told by Lin Youde about his lost memories, did not care too much and asked directly.

"Since you said so, it should be true, but what is the so-called dowry?"

Lin Youde lied, "The so-called dowry, according to Earth's cultural tradition, is the property, maids, valuables, etc. prepared by the bride's family."

Duminus' eyes widened in confusion: "Property? Maid? Valuables?"

"It's strange that people on Earth still have this kind of cultural tradition."

"But sir, we didn't prepare these. How can we replace them?"

Lin Youde was a little surprised: "This big meatball didn't even think about going back on his word, but agreed directly and even asked for an alternative plan?"

'Is this big meatball so simple?'

"Or was it that the aura of an arbitrator that Alfim showed earlier made her wary and she chose to treat it with caution?"

Unfortunately, it is impossible to ask these questions directly now, and Lin Youde does not know which one the other party is asking, so he can only continue to fool him.

"Since there is no prior preparation, let's use someone else instead."

"people?"

Duminas narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Feeling the other party's vigilance, Lin Youde's heart skipped a beat.

"Sure enough, this guy is not simply brainless."

"It seems that the peaceful retreat strategy of using the dowry maid to get Lamia and Ilui back will not succeed."

"In that case, let's keep it stable for now, and wait until we find Lamia's location before we turn against her."

Lin Youde was certain in his heart and pointed at Tis beside him with a smile.

"Yes, man. I remember Tis said that you made her and Disbinis together, right?"

Duminus's vigilance subsided a little: "Yes, but, this is different from what you said... um? You want Tis?"

Lin Youde waved his hand: "Don't say such harsh words, what do you mean I want Tis?"

"As a parent, I don't want these things."

"It's just that you, the bride's family, didn't prepare a dowry, so we can only use something else instead."

"Although Tis is not a maid and is a sister of Disbinis, in the absence of a dowry, we can only let her be the dowry."

"Or do you have anything that can be used as a replacement?"

"Let me make it clear first, I don't mind who the dowry is, I just want the process."

"In short, we want an attitude."

Lin Youde's words made Tis glare at Lin Youde angrily, obviously a little angry.

But intimidated by Lin Youde's fighting ability, Tis did not attack in the end.

Duminas looked at Lin Youde, thought for a moment, and replied.

"Although I don't understand Earth's culture, Tis is my child. We are currently under attack from Earthlings. I absolutely cannot give her to you."

Lin Youde's eyebrows twitched, deliberately showing a dissatisfied expression, while Duminas continued.

"But what you said does make sense. You have already helped me, so I will naturally give back to you."

"How about this, I have another human from Earth who can serve as a substitute."

"Although that Earth woman is of some use to me, it would be a waste if I don't use her at a time like this."

"I will give that woman to you as your so-called dowry."

"I can even give you a set of matching mobile weapons."

"But in exchange, I need you to help me fight off those Earthlings outside, okay?"

Feeling Duminas's vigilance, Lin Youde understood that the other party seemed to have his own little plans.

In order not to further provoke the other party, Lin Youde nodded and responded.

"Yes, Lord Duminus is so sincere, we natives will naturally not be ungrateful."

"But there are quite a lot of Earthling troops outside, so we need some time to prepare."

"Besides, if we want to repel the Earthling troops outside, relying on just one machine is not worth it."

"How about this, if you can allow us to test and record the weapons and equipment left behind by other cosmic races in this fortress, I can promise to help you deal with those Earthlings."

"And promise to prevent those Earthling troops from attacking you, but only once. What do you think?"

After hearing Lin Youde's bargaining, Duminas was silent for a while and then responded.

"can."

Feeling the other person's gradually relaxing mood, Lin Youde smiled.

"Well, happy cooperation, Mr. Duminus."

Duminus had no expression on his face, and simply replied, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. Also, it seems that you haven't announced your name yet?"

Lin Youde smiled and replied, "There were no separate individuals of our original species, so we didn't have a name."

"But, that's true. Now that I've chosen to imitate the Earthlings, a separate name is necessary."

"So, you can call me Li Abao."

As Lei Mengmeng's cheeks twitched slightly, Duminas recalled and confirmed that he had never heard of this name, then responded.

"Then I hope you can keep your promise, Mr. Li Abao."
