Clad in the Golden Armor bestowed by Xuan Can, Moli soon left the Sea Trench where the Whale-man Species had dwelled for generations and swam into the vast, broad ocean. This time, she did not head toward Nali, knowing that Mr. Fisher might be in that direction, so she resolutely chose to swim in another.
Before she met Mr. Fisher again, before the war that would be Destroying Heaven and Earth arrived, she wanted to enhance her own abilities significantly to protect herself and to safeguard Mr. Fisher…
In the moonlight, Moli’s figure gradually vanished into the ocean, swallowed by the ceaseless waves, no longer visible.
Time ebbed slightly backward to this morning, on the SS Unicorn which Mr. Fisher had boarded, before arriving at Mia. The Sheep-man species Parfait had stayed on the deck without leaving, and whenever Mr. Fisher had spare time, he joined her on the deck to study this Sheep-man woman with a very unique appearance.
Thus, the research progress of the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual on the Sheep-man species quickly soared, thanks to the help from Valentina. Parfait was very compliant to Fisher, and there were no obstacles in the research. Fisher promptly recorded every detail of her physical data in his notebook, and by combining what he learned from Emhardt and Parfait, he brought the study of the Sheep-man species, both biological and social, to the level where the first phase of rewards could be claimed.
[Demi-human: Sheep-man Biological Research Progress: 21%]
[Demi-human: Sheep-man Social Research Progress: 24%]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked all the first phase rewards of the Sheep-man species]
[Constitution +4, Reproductive Ability +2, Cold Resistance +20]
Seeing the familiar words in between, Mr. Fisher’s expression turned to one of chagrin. He had vented his desires adequately at Alagina’s place, but the ongoing enhancement of his reproductive ability since coming to the Northern Realm had made it increasingly difficult for him to restrain himself. While Fisher was not an indulgent person, the physical strain was tangible.
“Let’s stop here then. I’m really thankful for your assistance during this time.”
“Oh, no, it’s me who should be…”
Parfait blushed as she looked at Mr. Fisher standing before her. The elongated sheep horns atop her head, reminiscent of a mountain goat’s, seemed so powerful under the daylight. Indeed, no matter how one looked at it, the difference between her and the Sheep-man of the South Continent was significant.
Speaking of which, his own “Northern Realm Species Affinity” was incredibly useful. Although Fisher had no intention of trying out the enhanced effects, in these past few days, simply offering a few cups of hot tea had made Parfait excessively smitten. She giggled awkwardly and delightedly upon seeing Fisher, prompting Emhardt to critically condemn Fisher’s actions.
Turning his back on Parfait’s fervent and regrettable gaze, Fisher walked onto the deck, where a distant, haunting sound of a ship’s horn came from the sea. He gazed far into the horizon to see the faint silhouettes of several warships from Mia, signifying that they were nearing their destination, Mia.
“Hey, those Human warships look kinda familiar, didn’t we see them at Patulshen Island before?”
Emhardt joined Mr. Fisher on his shoulder, glancing at the distant warships before heading together into the elevator, preparing to return. The additional cold resistance from the Sheep-man made him feel unusually warm, even finding his winter coat unexpectedly hot. This came as a surprise to him, wondering how the Completion Manual managed to achieve this.
At this moment, his repertoire had expanded to include several new spells, all High Ring Magic, designed to counter Erwin’s unusual abilities like “Flames,” “Ice,” or “Thunder.” These spells had high destructive power and a wide range, effectively inflicting damage on swarming enemies like Erwin.

After receiving the physical enhancements from Parfait, however, he still felt it was insufficient. He predicted that he would need to research another demi-human species to reach the Tenth Rank, and then climb four more Ranks to catch up with Erwin.
The elevator came to a slow stop, and while Fisher was planning in his mind, he arrived at the second-level conference room, where everyone had already gathered – even Mechanic Celti was there, not to mention the others.
Fisher glanced at Valentina, who sat in the principal seat at the same height as Balzac, then sneakily eyed Heidlin standing behind her with a perpetually grinning smile. It was clear that Valentina must have propped herself up on books beneath her.
“Mr. Fisher, you’re just in time, or else I would have had to send Heidlin to fetch you… We’re about to reach Mia, and Mia’s warships have been escorting us the entire way. We’ll arrive at their military port by afternoon. Mia’s stance is somewhat ambiguous; they’re unable to deal with the Ice, so they seek the Turand Family’s assistance… You two scholars, is anyone interested in the Ice? There will be an opportunity to conduct thorough research soon.”
“Now, let’s talk about everyone’s tasks. Philis, the power source for my wheelchair is nearly depleted, and the collaborator from our house has gone missing and can’t be contacted, so my mobility will be severely limited. I’ll need you to stay close to ensure my safety, can you do that?”
Philis, who had just received her salary, was more eager about her job than ever before. As soon as Valentina began to speak, Philis immediately thumped her chest and boldly said,
