The purple-haired girl struggled again.
However, according to the contents of the ancient books, Shami quickly discovered sothing strange.
"Normally, chaleons are the weakest class of sub-dragons, belonging to the sa level as Spiky Earth Dragons. This type of dragon shouldn’t have the ability to transform into human form, right, Elze?"
The information in the ancient books about the Dragon Race includes details on the transformation ability of dragons.
Not all dragons can transform and develop high intelligence.
Only dragons with enough power, and certain breeds with strong pure dragon bloodlines, have the ability to change into human form.
That’s why low-tier sub-dragons like Spiky Earth Dragons can be tad by humans.
But this one here is actually the human form of a chaleon?
"I don’t know about that either..."
The purple-haired girl fell silent.
She also wanted to know why she could transform into a human form, but it seed she’s always been human since she could rember.
Shami carefully observed the purple-haired girl, and after confirming her identity, everything beca clear to him.
Ordinary chaleons and color-changing lizards have the sa ability to blend into their surroundings by changing the color of their skin to conceal themselves.
"So, that ti you disappeared directly in the wheat field, was that using this ability?"
The purple-haired girl nodded slightly awkwardly.
"Well, sort of..."
The so-called curse of the "Shape-shifting Phantom Thief" was all about hiding herself, secretly following Shami, finding him doing sothing inappropriate like playing with himself alone, recording it with the Recording Crystal, and then releasing it.
Back then, she squatted on the ridge in the wheat field, changing the color of her skin to blend in with the golden wheat field behind her, achieving invisibility.
But Shami walked away directly, and she couldn’t accomplish anything.
"What about the ability to transform into other people?"
Shami curiously looked at the purple-haired girl.
"This ability cos from the chaleon bloodline... Chaleons not only have the ability to blend into the surroundings but also the ability to transform into so creatures nearby."
The purple-haired girl spoke slowly.
"So, you can transform into other people’s appearances."
The purple-haired girl nodded.
"That ans you can also transform into my appearance?"
Shami pointed to himself.
"Of course I can."
The purple-haired girl looked at Shami. She originally planned to stay with Shami longer and then transform into his appearance, causing a scandal.
But now, knowing Shami is the Demon King, even with ten tis the courage, she wouldn’t dare to try.
As a dragon race maiden who’s lived alone, her main focus is to stay neutral and not offend anyone.
"Then can you transform into and let see?"
"Not at the mont. It takes so ti."
"Hmm?"
"Just like blending into the surroundings requires ti to change skin color, transforming into other people’s appearance also requires ti to complete."
The purple-haired girl slowly explained.
"Currently, if I transform into your appearance, it might only match the face. Do you mind your face appearing on a girl with a large chest?"
Shami thought for a mont and decided to skip that scene.
"However, as long as I spend enough ti with you, I can fully transform into your appearance."
As she said this, the purple-haired girl hurriedly clarified, issuing a cosmic safety statent.
"Of course! I absolutely wouldn’t use your face to do bad things! What’s the benefit for ? And even if I copy your appearance, I’ll forget it after so ti and won’t be able to transform again. Plus, I like the demon race, so I wouldn’t do such things. I’m absolutely no threat to you!"
Shami listened to the purple-haired girl’s words, becoming more interested in her abilities.
Although the purple-haired girl isn’t known for being a traditional powerful dragon, who talks about tradition in this era?
From coquettish elves, to bold heroes, to extravagant magical girls, none around him are normal, so adding one more abnormal person isn’t a big issue.
Moreover, the ability to transform into others is the best Divine Skill for infiltrating the opponent’s interior when applied to others.
Applied to himself, it’s the best life-saving skill for the Demon King to confuse enemies.
From any angle, the ability to transform is a good thing.
Shami smiled brightly.
"Elze, want to join the demon race? Beco a person of the Demon King."
The purple-haired girl froze for a mont, shaking her head repeatedly.
"Sorry... I’m just a thief, I don’t want to get involved with any factions. Besides, the demon race would naturally beco the enemy of the continent and the target of expulsion, right? Sorry, no."
"Is that so? Then join tomorrow."
"You totally didn’t listen to what I was saying!"
The purple-haired girl leaned forward, biting her nails.
"No way!"
Becoming part of the demon race feels like joining an organization, which completely doesn’t fit her career path.
Besides, she already scamd Shami once before, forcibly taking a 50 gold coin managent fee but essentially doing nothing.
If she just agreed to beco Shami’s person like this, he would definitely make things difficult for her in the future.
The purple-haired girl, used to solitude, still feels being alone is best.
"Consider again. This is a very rare opportunity."
Shami retracted all tentacles and released the purple-haired girl.
After the purple-haired girl’s toes touched the ground, she staggered twice in place, not adapting to standing on her own after being controlled by tentacles for too long.
What’s there to discuss?
The purple-haired girl stroked her neck.
"Too dangerous, still not a good idea. If mages, heroes, elves find out I’m not part of the demon race, I’d definitely be done for."
"Hmm? Are you talking about Lureya and them?"
Shami beca curious.
"They joined long ago. No need to worry about such things."
The purple-haired girl looked over in shock.
"Wait! Aren’t you hiding your identity, mixed within that adventure team?"
"Of course not. All three of them are bona fide demon race mbers."
"Eh!!!!"
The purple-haired girl shouted.
"Is that not true?"
"Of course it is," Shami casually touched his ear, "That ti it was a company trip I paid for. I went to the beach with them for three days and two nights."
The purple-haired girl swallowed hard, feeling deeply tempted.
Unexpectedly, there might even be a free company trip...
Looking back now, it seems those three girls were really happy at the ti.
"Then, what if I still don’t agree?" Elze cautiously looked at Shami.
"If you still don’t agree, then I can only keep you in this room. You’ve already learned my identity, I can’t let you leave anymore."
"Why does that sound like sothing a yandere would say! If I’m unwilling, keeping here won’t be useful!"
"That might not be the case. Although I really want you to join, if you really don’t want to cooperate, then I can only change the strategy and use you for human experintation to research the Dragon Race, making the most of you."
"That’s quite a terrifying transformation!"
The purple-haired girl leaned forward nervously, hesitating vastly inside.
On one side is the threat of "use for human experintation," uncertain if it’s a joke or real, and on the other is the invitation to recruit her.
A normal person would choose the latter, right?
But she doesn’t want to be bound by anything, like a wind crossing the continent, how could a Dragon Race maiden give her freedom to Shami?
Life is precious, freedom is even more valuable!
Shami sighed regretfully, hands clasped behind his back, turning to leave.
"Position starts at the middle level of the demon race, working five days a week, nine to five, weekend benefits including paid holidays, triple salary during overti, quarterly specific employee trips, injury during missions entitles you to dical services equal to the Demon King, extra employee rewards upon mission completion, free housing allocation when Demon King Castle is built, shares in demon race economic dividends... So these employnt conditions are still unappealing..."
"Boss Shami! I can totally join! I can start working tomorrow! Boss Shami! Please look at !"
