Chapter 24: The Beast Lord Reappears

"The tree of the ancestor of the Thunder Royal... was unexpectedly small."

A black one-piece dress that is so neat that it cannot see even a hint of wrinkles, a white apron with ruffles that is so neat that it cannot see even a hint of wrinkles, and a white headscarf with ruffles, which are commonly known as maid outfits.

The beast-eared maid Ainius slightly turned his head and looked at the scene in front of him with an unexpected expression.

There is a huge sky city floating on the vast lake surface. In the center of this huge sky city, there is also a clear lake water. The center of the clear lake water has an island in the middle of the lake covering an area of ​​about 200 square meters. In the center of this lake island, which is big or small, there is only a small tree bud alone...

It is hard to imagine that this seemingly fragile young life is the most powerful force in the universe, the original body of the tree, the ancestor of tree thunder!

"What's weird?"

Feng Kan also grabbed his head unexpectedly.

"Really speaking, although it was a sapling when the tree thunder was still like a small sapling, it was not that small? After all, it was the ancestor tree, which was completely different from other royal trees?"

It was indeed surprising that I didn't see the Royal Tree as I imagined.

"Oh, oh, this is not a very strange thing, right? After all, she has purified all this large piece of land and replenished enough vitality, so it is natural that she has no extra power to make herself grow rapidly, right?"

The loose and casual clothes, the looser cloak, and the hand with white gloves held a quaint staff. Although the staff was actually just something similar to an ornament, he still held it in his hand very seriously. He smiled and his eyes narrowed into a line. Although he persisted in showing an innocent look, he always gave people the feeling of an old fox.

The beast priest Jeros suddenly appeared in the air without any warning.

“…”

"Oh? Boss? Was it a surprise to see me?"

“…”

"Can you please don't look at me like this? Although it looks very tender, I'm not delicious at all."

"That's the only thing that has the appetite to eat you!"

"Oh? Boss, you are in a bad mood. Is anyone unhappy for you?"

"What do you think?"

His eyes were staring at the beast priest fiercely. Now when he saw this guy with an innocent look, he was full of resentment.

"Let me think about it, um~~"

Geralus pinched his eyebrows and looked thoughtful.

"Is it because Miss Lina caused some trouble again? Well, that's what she is like, just be more careful."

"Oh~~ Do you think I'm losing my temper because of Lena?"

"Isn't it?"

“…”

Looking at Jeros who was flashing around him, Feng Kan suddenly smiled, smiled very gently, and then hooked his finger at the beast priest.

"Come on, come here, get closer and I'll tell you the correct answer."

"Boss, just say this if you have any instructions. I can hear it clearly here."

Faced with this gentle smile, Gerald took a step back and waved his hands. The Beast Lord's sensing of danger had reached the point of predicting the uncertainty.

"No, no, it will be clearer when approaching."

The gentle smile became even gentler, but behind him, it seemed like a black dark cloud gradually surged, and Feng Kan got closer.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, really, there is no need. Even if you are in the darkest corner of the demon world, I will definitely hear everything clearly about the boss's words without missing a word. Don't worry."

There is a limit to pretending to be stupid. Jeros is not the kind of guy who really does stupid things to pretend to be stupid. He cannot be unclear about such an obvious and dangerous situation.

He sighed helplessly and gave up catching this guy who was even more slippery than the old loach. In fact, Feng Kan didn't think that Jeros would be so stupid that he fell into such a childish trap. Moreover, the Beast Lord is not a black-bellied little prince, so it is not that easy to pinch his head.

"Tell me."

"say what?"

Geralus put his head on his back and put on an innocent expression, "I don't understand what you are saying, boss."

"...Where did you go to fish recently?"

"Oh? Boss, do you think so? I'm so sad."

“…………”

Feng Kan was completely speechless about this guy's shameless behavior.

"When I was at Walken, you didn't help at all. You will be fine after I returned to Portral! You'll just disappear! What about the construction address of the 'Wuxin Palace' that I asked you to help you find? I haven't given me a clear message yet! In the end, I'll find a way myself! Why are you doing if you're not slutting?"

He wanted to say these words a long time ago, but there was always no chance. The rare Gerald would appear directly in front of him. Although Gerald would never violate it as long as he ordered, Feng Kan had been not used to speaking in an orderly tone, so he subconsciously resisted this behavior.

The main reason is that he hates what he is ordered to do.

In principle, he will not do things he hates to his partners.

"Oh? Boss, is there any more ideal construction address than here?"

Faced with Feng Kan's angry questioning, Jeros not only did not panic, but instead held a finger in front of him and asked with a mysterious smile.

“…what, what?”

Because he did not expect the Beast Lord to suddenly say such words, Feng Kan was stunned.

"Ah~~ I believe that the boss's vision and means do not require me to find other places to do anything. If he is the boss, he will definitely notice this..."

"Don't say it as if you knew it a long time ago! Are you the roundworm in my belly?"

"But the conditions and the timing were not ripe at that time. Even if I proposed this place at the beginning, you will definitely be dismissive, boss, right?"

"Are you so sure?"

"Oh? Boss? Have you forgotten? I was born from you, and it's your shadow."

“…”

I almost forgot about this.

Although his mouth was still very hard, Feng Kan had to admit that Jeros made sense.

Indeed, during the period when the "Wuxin Palace" was still defined as the "Wuxin Museum", Feng Kan did not expect to use such a large place as the planned construction site. At that time, he was already very satisfied as long as there was a small courtyard as the site. But after the battle at Reston Fort, the situation was completely different!

The battle of Reston Castle, breaking the joint magic circle, destroying the Dragon Fort, fighting with the angel's sigh, persuading the Grand Duke Francis to form an alliance with St. Austin, etc. Although Feng Kan himself did not think there was anything great, it was a real great achievement for St. Austin! Not to mention the title of "Saint Warrior" given to him by the strange and strange uncle of Austin. In this way, if there was no decent place to be the construction address of the "Martial Heart Temple", Fastro VII could not explain to ordinary people.

Instead of occupying the vast amount of fertile land around the capital, it is better to use the wasteland that is unpopular in "The Lake of God's Fallen"!

If we think about it according to this idea, it is not difficult for Jeros to guess what Feng Kan will do in the end.

"Then I won't pursue this matter."

After knowing the whole story, Feng Kan had no reason to continue blaming Geros for this matter. Although planning and lying were like instincts to Geros, he would never be able to do such a thing when facing Feng Kan. This matter was an explanation, but...

"You've been sucking fish while you were at Walken?"

Isn't that? Originally, Feng Kan asked Geros to secretly search for Earl Falgira, but in the end he still relied on the power of the Blackbeard to make Earl Falgira appear. During the Battle of Reston Fort, because of the Austin Saint Yulia, Geros could not get close to the battlefield at all! After all, the beast priest who originally planned to be the biggest reliance on had never done anything helpful from beginning to end! This is the reason why he was the most popular.

"Oh? Boss, that's so bad!"

"Ha? Unjust? I want to hear, why did I wrong you!"

Although the expression of the Beast Lord is even more innocent, no one should believe that he is really as innocent as his expression?

“…”

"What's wrong? Say it?"

“It’s so embarrassing to say.”

It’s rare that the beast priest showed an expression other than innocent. Should that be embarrassing?

"You know it's embarrassing, too?"

“I have been recuperating recently.”

“…”

"...Why are you looking at me like this?"

Not only Feng Kan, but even Ainius stared at the Beast Lord with a (-＿－) expression.

"Don't you believe what I said?"

This is nonsense! If you want to hurt a guy like Gerald, what kind of powerful guy would he be? Have the four great demons born from the Red Eye Demon King arrived?

He sighed, and the Beast Lord could only blame his poor character for his usual bad character, but he was not without convincing evidence. He only raised his hand and lifted his cloak with great reluctance...

“…!?”

In the right half of the seemingly thin body, a huge horizontal crack almost penetrated Jeros' entire body. Although this guy is a conical spirit body, and does not bleed or something, such a large wound is still shocking.

"...What happened to you? Explain it in detail!"

Feng Kan's face darkened. Although the matter was unbelievable, after seeing Gerald this time, he really didn't lie.

As the boss of the Beast Lord, he must help Jeros get this place back!
