The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

No one has thought about this question carefully. After all, Lightning loves to act coquettishly and cute on weekdays, and looks no different from a child.

But now everyone felt something was wrong. Edel had been famous for at least forty years, and his war beast Lightning must have been by his side since he joined the Beast Tamer Army...

The look everyone gave Lightning was clearly not meant for him.

Lightning felt several gazes falling on itself. It weakly raised its eyelids, glanced at them, and lay down again.

Jin Cheng opened the search page of the terminal and typed in: The age of the war beast Lightning.

The answer appeared immediately in the next second.

[Results obtained based on the search keywords: Lightning, Edel's war beast, age 52. Related war beast White Snow, age 52. Related war beast Bright Moon, age 51.]

Everyone:...

Everyone:? ? ?

Qin Jiu: What?! You mean I hug an old man and kiss him every day?!

Although Qianqin's expression was also complicated, she was much calmer than the others.

Qianqin: "Ahem, I don't think being over fifty is a big problem. After all, the lifespan of a normal war beast can reach 200 to 300 years. It's normal for a high-level war beast like the Swift Leopard to be over 300 years old... In other words, it's still a uh... young man..."

The muscles on several people's faces twitched and they were speechless as they looked at the lightning.

Lightning is a young man in his fifties!

Jin Cheng thought of his own Hurricane, and he suddenly asked: "So, as long as I take good care of it, Hurricane can also send me away?"

Xiqin nodded: "In theory, yes. The current maximum life expectancy of humans is only about 150 years old, and the average life expectancy is 120 years old. If Hurricane is well taken care of, it can not only send you away, but also send your children away."

Jin Cheng: ...Thank you, now I have one more corpse collector. Oh, of course, it would be even better if it doesn't eat its own corpse.

Qin Jiu listened to their conversation silently, but he found something wrong: "So, the lifespan of war beasts will be longer than that of their masters. If the masters die, what will happen to their war beasts?"

Qianqin didn't expect Qin Jiu to have such a question, but she did know the answer.

She said: "If their masters die, they can choose whether to retire. If they decide to retire, they will be adopted by other retired beastmasters. Those who refuse to be adopted will stay in the War Beast Management Center. However..."

As she spoke, her eyes dimmed and her smile seemed forced: "In fact, very few war beasts can retire normally or continue to serve."

There was a deep sigh in her tone: "After the death of their master, most war beasts will become depressed and then commit suicide. Those who are lucky enough to be rescued will continue to abuse themselves until the day when their bodies can no longer hold on."

Qianqin looked at Lightning and said meaningfully, "Don't think that the war beasts and their masters seem to be incompatible, but in fact the bond between the war beasts and their masters is irreversible. Once formed, it will only get deeper and deeper. They are like each other's spiritual pillars. If one of them leaves one day, the spiritual world of the other will collapse. It's the same with people, so basically after a war beast passes away, the beast control army will also fall into pain for a long time. Some people can't stand it during this period and die of illness."

Everyone looked at Edel and Lightning. If one day, Edel left this world before Lightning, would Lightning follow him?

This topic was too heavy and no one dared to delve into it further, and everyone was speechless for a moment.

After just over ten minutes, they arrived at the beach of Silver Moon Bay.

There are two or three tourists traveling together on the beach, some lying on the sand, some swimming in the sea. This is a very normal tourist attraction.

They were really curious, where would the bright moon be?

Edel put Lightning down, and Lightning stood on the sand and took a deep breath, feeling alive again.

Qin Jiu was just about to go forward to see if Lightning was okay when her trouser leg was suddenly grabbed. She looked back and saw a little white leopard hooked on her trouser leg.

Qin Jiu was pleasantly surprised: "Bai Xue? You are here too?"

Edel stepped forward and looked at the two little guys separately. He said, "The medical equipment here is quite complete. I'll check the three war beasts together."

Qin Jiu initially thought that they were just here for sightseeing, but he realized the purpose of this trip when he heard the conversation between Lilith and Xiqin on the train.

Meet Edel's third warbeast - Moon.

The follow-up inspection had little to do with them; they just wanted to see what this war beast, which had the title of overlord of the sea, looked like.

Because Mingyue lives in the sea, it is rarely seen. Even if there are occasional interviews about Edel and it, the camera can only capture its blurry shadow. Mingyue has always maintained a mysterious color to the outside world.

Qin Jiu's curiosity was also aroused. She had never seen an aquatic war beast before and wondered what its temperament was like.

Perhaps it will be more gentle than the war beasts on land?

Qin Jiu picked up Bai Xue and Lightning, one on each side, and walked on the beach.

They were still some distance away from the crowd, so even Edel's sudden appearance did not cause panic.

The people on the beach thought they were just new tourists and didn't pay much attention to them.

The only thing that caught my eye was the girl holding two cats.

But it’s not uncommon to bring pets on vacation, they just take a closer look and then focus on their own things.

I heard that Lilith, who was raised in the sea, kept looking towards the coastline, but she couldn't see any trace of the war beast at all.

Edel led the way, and the further they went, the fewer travelers they met on the road.

It was not until they had walked for more than ten minutes that they saw a fence that stopped tourists from entering.

This place is far away from the tourist area.

Edel lowered his head, and the pupil recognition system on the door detected that it was Edel, made a cheerful sound, and the electronic door opened with a "click".

Edel let them go first and he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

He waited until everyone entered the restricted area before closing the door.

There was no foreign matter on the beach in the restricted area, only soft sand, and the sea was calm.

It doesn't look like a war beast at all.

There is a building in the restricted area that is out of place here. The purely mechanical outer wall reflects a cold metallic light. The giant camera on the top of the tower is rotating and slowly falls on several people, as if confirming the identities of the people who have entered the restricted area.

Edel walked to the front of the line again. He ignored the cameras and walked in on his own.

Everyone followed Edel's steps and entered the building together.

Qin Jiu looked around and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The layout here is almost exactly the same as Professor Arnold's laboratory.

As they walked, Edel introduced them: "This is a marine life monitoring laboratory. In addition to paying attention to Mingyue's movements, they also observe some habits of other marine life. Of course, the microorganisms in the ocean and changes in the water quality of the sea are also within their monitoring scope. Mingyue is staying here temporarily."

Snow White and Lightning are very familiar with the environment here. It is not their first time here, but they have bad experiences every time they come here.

Especially when I met that guy...
