However, judging from the fact that she left in a hurry and even forgot to say hello, it is clear that the seemingly calm and composed Caroline also has considerable natural attributes, giving people the impression that she often gets confused about small things.

I don’t know if I was infected by Artoria’s troublesome and attractive physique, which made me feel like I was in trouble.

"So, Elder Mokani already knows about it now?" I glanced at Mokani, who was smiling and looking at the two of us hiding in the corner and whispering, and asked in a low voice.

"Well, I'm afraid I already knew it." Carolie nodded.

"Ah~~~~"

I always feel like I've been tricked a lot, and I feel powerless all over.

"Elder Mokani has long known that the former Kaluki was actually Jeluka?"

Returning to my seat, I asked in frustration.

"Well, I've known it for a long time. I'm sorry. I just saw Jeluka having so much fun and couldn't bear to expose it for a while. Now it seems that it has caused trouble to you."

Elder Jemokani laughed.

"When did you first discover it?"

"I already knew it from the very beginning, after Kaluki left and when Jeluka was brought back. Although I am old, I am not so old that I can't even recognize them."

"I see."

My face is full of depression. At least you already knew it. Tell me, do you know how badly I was teased by that dirty maid for this matter?

"It seems that Jeluka's child did play a little too much. It's my fault for indulging her willfulness."

Mokani and Kaluge both helped Jeluka and apologized desperately, with their sincere expressions in front of them, what else can I say?

"Actually, this child Jeluka..."

After reluctantly expressing that he would not be angry with the pornographic maid, the topic changed and Elder Mokani's voice became slightly deeper.

"I have been very withdrawn since I was a child and don't like to talk much. Apart from Kaluge, Artoria and Grand Elder Arlandland, I have almost no one I can talk to. I usually either stay in the library or follow others.

She is next to the great elder, so it is rare to see her being willful once, so I can't help but indulge her. Speaking of which, I have never seen her smile before."

After saying that, Elder Mokani looked at me with a smile.

"It seems that Jeluka is very happy with you."

"Big...probably."

How could she be unhappy? I can think of many happiness based on my depression.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have never seen Caroline's smile. I remember that you used to smile a lot when I was a child. That innocent smile was as bright as the sun."

"Eh...Eh? What I'm saying is...ahaha..."

Seeing Mokani sighing and suddenly turning the topic on herself, Kaluge didn't show the slightest panic even though I was forcibly pulled away, so she couldn't help but get into a hurry.

"I really miss it. I helped you change it once before..."

"Ah wow wow————!!"

I don’t know why, but Carolie screamed in panic, interrupting Mokani’s words. She had obviously reached the most critical point, what was changed, what was changed?!

"oh……"

Patting her head, Mokani suddenly understood when she saw the embarrassed and blushing face of Colgate.

"Wu, are you thirsty? Have a cup of tea."

"..."

Ah, the topic was easily changed.

"Speaking of which, how is the matter with the reborn demon Selson?"

The topic suddenly returned to the main topic, and even Karen looked solemn and sat up.

"Oh, don't worry, we just killed it, it was quite a troublesome guy."

This time it was the turn of Caroline and Mokani to be stunned, especially Mokani. The cup she was holding in her hand fell to the ground.

"Dead...dead?"

Seemingly confused by my downplayed statement, Mokani repeated the question without confirmation.

"Well, he is already dead, and a large number of crystal fragments have been recovered, which saves a lot of effort."

After staying for a while, Mokani nodded and smiled happily.

"Okay, very good. You are indeed the person Akara likes. To be honest, your performance exceeded my expectations."

"Elder Mokani thanks you. Speaking of which, Jeluka really has a share of the credit here. If she hadn't discovered the weakness of the reborn demon Selson, things would definitely not have gone so smoothly."

Under Mokani and Kaluge's questioning, I briefly told what happened in the past few days after the reborn demon Selson escaped.

"So that's it. I didn't expect that your strength can already carry out attacks at the level of world power."

Although what I said was very vague, Elder Mokani quickly saw the most critical point from it.

"It's not worth mentioning. It's just relying on external forces."

I smiled. I would feel a little embarrassed to be praised by such an old man. But it would be different if I were praised by those guys like Lal. Not to mention my nose, I’m sure my hair would stand up proudly. Of course

, I never expected these guys to just give me a compliment.

"Even with the help of external force, it is still a kind of strength. How many people want to use external force to achieve your level but it is impossible."

Mokani responded with a smile, and seemed to see that I didn't like being praised very much, so she didn't continue.

"There shouldn't be many things left, and they won't be difficult. I hope we can complete this mission as soon as possible, and then hold funerals for the fallen warriors."

Monica sighed. The elf warrior killed by the reborn demon will always be a pain that cannot be ignored in everyone's heart. There are too many what-ifs and too many regrets.

"If I could have calmed down and stayed..."

Look, Caroline is coming.

"Don't think too much, silly boy. The reborn demon Selson has top-notch strength in the field and is immortal. You can't deal with it now."

"But it would be nice to at least save the lives of some soldiers..."

Gritting her teeth, Caroline lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly.

"Not so much, but, Carolie, I hope that there will be no casualties in a war. The wish is beautiful, but if it is regarded as a target mission, it is idealism. It would be too sorry to regret and blame yourself at this time.

Those warriors died, and what we can do for them now is to comfort their families and give them the glory they deserve."

When facing death, perhaps it is because the Alliance adventurers always stand at the forefront and make the greatest sacrifices. Only in this way can I say these calm and somewhat indifferent words.

"Wu is right."

Monica gently stroked Caroline's head and comforted her. Unfortunately, she was still a little depressed. It seemed that she put part of the blame on herself. Really, she also learned from Artoria about accepting death.

It's quite enough.

"By the way, where is Artoria?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, I suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty the Queen..."

Carolie was stunned for a moment, and finally came to her senses, but then she immediately became dejected. It seemed that her journey to find someone did not yield much results.

"Looking for clues from Harogath in the first world, I found out that Her Majesty the Queen has arrived in the second world. I went around the Rogge camp in the second world and learned from Elder Harogath that Her Majesty the Queen went to Lugao.

So, I chased after her, and it turned out that Her Majesty the Queen had already arrived in Kurast by boat. I originally thought that Her Majesty the Queen would finally come here to command the battle, but I didn't expect that not long after, I heard that Her Majesty had gone to the Demon Fortress.

In the end, it seemed that we stopped at Harrogas and went deep into the snowy mountains. From then on, I could no longer get any clues, so I had no choice but to come back."

I:"……"

Monica: "..."

Just from the sound of it, I feel that this journey is so exciting that it seems to be enough to write a documentary novel "Travel Notes of the Dark Continent of the Da Mao King".

"All in all, I think there must be something very important on Artoria's side, so the trip is in such a hurry."

He coughed a few times. After all, Arturia was also his wife, and it was necessary to help her out a few words.

"I'm just worried about whether Her Majesty the Queen will encounter any danger when she is alone."

Having said this, as if imagining that Arturia encountered a natural or man-made disaster such as a flood, avalanche, etc., Kaluge stood up and walked around the table anxiously.

"Ahem, I think if it's Artoria, there should be no problems no matter where she goes."

Yes, people with a physique that attracts trouble must also have the same vitality as Xiaoqiang. Although it seems a bit inappropriate to describe Artoria like this, because there is a best example in front of me, that's it.

It’s hard for a husband and hard for a wife…

"Rather than worrying about her being in danger, I think there is a question that is more important."

Seeing that Caroline still looked a little worried and dazed, I cleverly changed the topic in a different direction, and spoke slowly while the two of them looked at her.

"That's... Can Arturia know how to cook on her own? In a place like Harrogas, it's not good to eat cold and hard dried meat. Even adventurers will be in bad shape."

Seeing that this was what I was talking about, Carole looked relaxed.

"Don't worry about this. Her Majesty the Queen's ability to survive in the wild is top-notch. She has already become proficient in cooking and other things."
