The next day, we got ready together. The trip and other things had been packed and put away by the attentive Carole early last night.
"Colgate, do you really want this? I think it's better for you to stay here. Only when your strength improves can you help Artoria in the future." When it was almost time to set off, I couldn't help but look back. , to persuade the personal maid standing behind.
"Kalugee understands His Highness's kindness, but her first mission is to serve the Queen and Your Highness." Faced with my advice no less than ten times, Carole's answer was as simple and firm as ever.
"It doesn't matter what I say, you just need to take care of Artoria and think about her."
"When Carolgate made such a decision, she was taking care of Her Majesty the Queen."
"oh?"
"If you tell Her Majesty the Queen, is it more important to take care of Her Majesty the Prince now, or is it more important to stay in the third world to improve your strength in order to help Her Majesty the Queen in the future, think about it, how would Your Majesty respond?" With her beautiful and bright purple eyes wide open, Carolie looked at me firmly and asked.
"this……"
I was speechless. She was indeed a maid who took care of Artoria professionally. She even understood the other person's thoughts clearly. If Artoria was asked to answer, she would definitely choose to take care of me first.
"Colgate, listen carefully. I am not doubting your ability as a maid when I say this. It's just that after returning home, I also have maids and a wife to take care of me. Their care for me is even a little too much. More." I looked at Karen helplessly and made a last ditch effort.
That's right, although Princess Sanwu and Maid Duanzi, these two guys who claim to be personal maids, are not reliable, but I still have Vilas, Sarah, Linya, and even my My dear twin princesses, now that they have grown up, they will often do some things to take care of me, such as helping Willas with washing clothes, cooking, etc. This can be regarded as taking care of me indirectly.
In addition, there are two bodyguards, Hilmanya and Claudia, who have helped me a lot indirectly. Even Lena, who is blind and has limited mobility, will do things like fold my clothes. Little things.
If Tia and the little fox also move in in the future... If I calculate carefully, there are already too many people to take care of me at home.
"Although His Highness's words make sense, Carolie is still a little worried and wants to go back and check in person. It's not for other people, but for my sister who is not doing her job properly."
At this point, Carole, who had a meticulous and serious look on her face and showed the temperament of a majestic and elegant maid, suddenly turned pale and her eyes were buried in a black cloud, which instantly turned black.
I:"……"
I can only say this much, dirty maid, please wish yourself well.
"Okay, now that you say so." I shrugged helplessly.
"Your Highness is able to tolerate Carolee's willfulness, and she is grateful."
"Carouge, you are just too polite... Oh, by the way, since you are going back with me, please do me a favor." I suddenly remembered something and said.
"Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
I took Carolie to my original tent, pointed inside, and said with my mouth open, "Here, help me take back the [Puppet Beauty] inside."
"I thought you had forgotten me, monkey." As soon as the tent door was opened, Princess Wannian's voice without any emotion came from inside. No, there seemed to be a trace of life in this voice.
"How could I forget you? I just know that you don't like to stay in the dark inventory, so I try to stay as late as possible and come to pick you up before departure."
"Princess Nana, good morning." Carolie was already familiar with my ten thousand-year tenant, and when she saw the posture of the sleeping beauty on the bed, she was not surprised to salute.
"Good morning, Knight Colgate, it's nice to see you." To Colgate, Princess Wannian showed off her princess style, being meticulous and said in a gentle tone.
"If you can be so polite to me, maybe we can still be friends." Seeing that Carol Jie and Princess Wannian were so polite and respectful to each other, I was a little jealous when I thought of calling me a monkey. said sarcastically.
"There's no point in being friends with monkeys, don't do it." Princess Wannian's voice was cold. If she could control her body, she would definitely turn her head in anger and disdain.
"Colgate, look, this guy has to be meaningful to be friends with. He might want to take advantage of you, so be careful." I turned my head, whispered into Carolie's ear, and it turned out The sharp-eared Princess Wannian heard it, and without saying a word, the Horadric Cube bumped into me.
The equipment that was once my comrade-in-arms has now become a weapon that wants to take me down. It's so sad. This is all Princess Wannian's fault.
"Your Highness, do you want me to take Princess Nana back?" As if to help ease the atmosphere between the two of us, Carolie changed the subject at the right time and asked.
"That's right, then... I'll ask you to take this guy back." I escaped the attack in a critical moment, I coughed a few times and nodded towards her.
"But why? Wouldn't it be better for Your Highness to take it back by yourself? Or the inventory can't fit anymore." Caroline seemed a little confused about my thoughts.
"This is called risk reduction, risk reduction, do you understand?" I took out the artifact staff inside and shook it towards Carolie.
Keeping important things in different places or carrying them with different people to avoid the greatest risks is a common sense approach that I guess I don’t need to explain.
"Besides, this guy always thinks my inventory is dirty and messy. I just want to change her into a comfortable environment and kill two birds with one stone." I glanced at Princess Wannian and added.
"I really have to thank you for your self-awareness this time, Monkey." After hearing my words, Princess Wannian agreed lightly, but why did her voice still sound a little angry? I already think so much about you, what do you want me to do, you bastard!
"But, Your Highness, can I... really? Leave Princess Nana's safety to me." Caroline was still a little confused.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Carol? I trust you as much as Artoria does, and I even feel that it is much safer to put her on you than on me."
I lightly pressed Carolie's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to worry, and at the same time added in my heart: Because I have the aura of a quasi-tragedy emperor, I put it on you specially.
Although this is no longer a secret, there is still a sense of desolation and resignation in his own mouth. These days, it seems a bit inappropriate for the protagonist to not defy fate and let fate play with him like this. Director, really Don't you think about taking Long Aotian's popular route? Add chicken drumsticks to your lunch box.
"Your Highness..." Carole didn't expect what I was thinking, or in other words, she didn't know how majestic my quasi-tragic emperor aura was. After hearing my words, she was actually moved.
"Don't worry, Caroline will definitely live up to His Highness's trust. Even if she dies, she will send Princess Nana safely to the first world camp." Suddenly she stood at attention solemnly, straightened her body, and made a knight's gesture to me. This is enough to show how much she values my actions this time.
"Uh... I'll leave it to you, then." Faced with this kind of Carole, and intimidated by the powerful aura she exuded, I opened my mouth wide and managed to say this.
Hey, you're not going to the battlefield. Just activate the positioning scroll for me in peace of mind, then come out of the Mages Guild, walk more than ten miles, and hand her over to Tia. There's no need to be so serious, right? Don't set up flags randomly. If I had said these words, maybe the situation would have changed by now, you know?
"I'm sorry." She apologized to Princess Wannian and put Benzina lying on the bed...no, it was Sleeping Beauty's body into her inventory, along with the Horadric Cube.
Then, the two of us tidied up the tent and the few items inside one by one, and then turned around and went back to meet everyone.
It was a bit deserted to leave this time, because Sa Qili and the others, especially Tulakov, who couldn't stop talking, had already left. Only Raphael and Yilanya came to see me off, oh, and Mi Seiya, who took me with them. A group of children from the orphanage came to see me off. Seeing their figures, I was a little touched, and the slight sense of desolation I felt just now disappeared without a trace.
Mi Seya, you are sometimes too considerate. I was moved and wiped the corners of my eyes, stepped forward, and was about to say thank you, when I saw Mi Seya reaching out to me and saying,
"Thank you, the farewell fee is 10,000 gold coins, as well as time loss fee, travel fee, headcount fee, breakfast fee, missed work fee, etc. We all know each other so well, so I will give you a 99% discount, totaling 36,000 Nine hundred gold coins.”
Everyone: "..."
Satisfied, Mi Seya walked around and took away a bag of gems from me. She did not forget to count them all, and did not replenish the ones that were missing but did not return the many. After that, Mi Seya was satisfied. After hesitating for two seconds, she suddenly covered a bag of gems. A warm basket covered with a large white coarse cloth was handed over.
"What?" I took it and opened the warm white cloth to see that there was a whole basket of steamed buns inside.
It turns out that there is indeed a breakfast fee. I thought this fee was a loss expense caused by delaying breakfast for her and the children.
Thinking about this, I seemed to be a little touched. Wait, no, why was Mi Seya extorted a large amount of money for no reason. She just gave me a basket of meat buns, but I was moved. Could it be that she has been a bit mean recently? Already?
Anyway, something is better than nothing, I was thinking this, but I heard Mi Seya say: "Give the meat bun to that person and let her have a taste. I can't make it worse than her, hum."
To that person?
I glanced at her confusedly at first, then suddenly realized, and then burst into tears.
That person should be Vilas. It turns out that this obsessive-compulsive perfectionist girl in middle school still remembers the meat buns and is still competing with the meat buns she made with Veras day and night. Who will save this girl? A lost girl, my God!
Although I really want to say that meat buns are not what Vilas is good at. If you compete with her like this and spend so much time trying, it doesn't make any sense even if you win in the end. But if you say this, I'm afraid you will have to be like this in the future. The middle school girl has been pestering her.
When Mi Seiya herself has given up treatment, thinking about it, I gave up explaining to avoid getting into trouble. Next time I come, I will tell her: Ah, Vilas thinks your buns are more delicious than hers. I have given up, so give up. Stop making meat buns for the children in the orphanage and treating them as guinea pigs. You see, their faces are already turning blue when they see the meat buns.
I'm a really smart guy.
After greeting the naughty children one by one, I returned to the crowd with satisfaction.
"It's a pity that Sa Qili and the others haven't come back yet."
Raphael said as if nothing had happened, with an indifferent look, but he couldn't help but glance in the direction of the teleportation array, as if a plot that could only appear in novels and movies would happen next:
When the whistle of the train or ship sounded, that person finally rushed over at the last moment, and finally saw him off with his eyes locked tightly. At this time, either the person who had already boarded the train or ship suddenly gave up everything and jumped down. Or just look at each other from afar, silently promising to see each other again in the future.
Although I know that you are worried about Sa Qili and the others, the current situation is obviously because you have read too many novels, Master Feier.
"When I come here next time, I can see them advance to the realm of world power." I sighed, looking in the direction of Raphael's gaze.
"Hmph, I hope so. This way I can have a few more powerful servants at my disposal." Raphael snorted proudly.
Yes, yes, you can continue to be arrogant, I will not accompany you anymore.
I glanced at everyone, and at this moment, I unexpectedly found a small shadow, a pair of smooth black ponytails, exposed from behind the tent not far in front, swaying, swaying, swaying, as if from It looks like a cat-teasing stick accidentally exposed in the corner.
"Beansa, since you're here, why don't you come over?" I shouted loudly, and the two black ponytails were startled and stood straight up, as if they were in the shape of a big exclamation mark.
Then, my cute little junior sister carefully poked out a third of her face from behind the tent, and stared at me quietly with one eye. Her gaze was so intense that she seemed to be saying "ji~~~~" sound.
This cute little junior sister is still so afraid of life.
I shook my head helplessly and walked forward. Every time I took a step away from the crowd, Beanshad's face behind the tent became more exposed.
Until the end, I was tens of meters away from everyone and walked towards Beansa alone. Her whole body was exposed from behind the tent. After hesitating for a few seconds, she suddenly rushed up and threw herself into my arms. .
"Senior brother~~~" He called me in a coquettish voice that was sweet, delicate, and heart-warming. Beansha rubbed and rubbed in his arms and couldn't stop.
"Good boy, I'm very happy that Beansa can come to see me off." I patted Beansa's head and said in approval.
She was afraid of strangers, but she was able to come here in front of so many people. She had indeed tried her best and deserved praise.
"Really?" Beansa raised his head and looked at me with sparkling eyes.
"Of course it's true. Senior brother has never lied to Beansa." I nodded my head seriously.
Biansha was very happy, left my arms, and suddenly took out a jar of honey and handed it over.
Oh? Is it a farewell gift for me? You're so sensible, so I won't be polite.
I accepted the honey and saw Beansa take out another jar and hand it over.
I took it, and Biansha took it again.
I'll take it, and Biansha will take it again.
…
"It's...enough, Beansa." After receiving more than ten or twenty jars of honey, I was sweating, and finally couldn't help but speak out to stop Beansa's repeated actions.
This farewell gift is a bit too heavy, I mean, really heavy! ! !
"Is this enough?" Biansha tilted his head and looked at me, obviously not quite satisfied, and asked, shaking his twin tails.
"Enough, really enough." I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then..." Biansha took out another item. When I showed a desperate look, she took out something else that was not a honey jar.
A memory crystal.
"Brother, give this." She put the memory crystal into my palm.
"This is……"
"When you miss Beansha, just take a look." Beansha nodded fiercely.
It turns out that this is really the case. Biansha was too careful, but I didn't prepare such a memory crystal for her.
Thinking of this, I was so moved that I stroked Beansha's head. She squinted her eyes happily and rubbed it into my palm a few times. Then she took a few steps back reluctantly and looked at the person behind me with a cool expression. Everyone looked at him and turned around to leave.
"It would be great if that little guy could be that close to me." Looking at Biansha's leaving figure, Raphael said quietly to me walking back.
"That's definitely a bad thing for Biansha." I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, I'm afraid I'll be back soon, so don't say too much to say goodbye. Master Raphael, Ilanya, Amrudina, Mi Seya, and everyone else, I'll start with Let’s take a step, see you later.”
Saying this, I looked at Tamoya, and when she nodded, I waved gently, recalling her back to the first world.
Then I took out the positioning scroll with Carolie. Seeing Carolie looking at me, I was not polite and activated the scroll first.
RS
