Although Elsa always said that she would never let go when she grasped happiness, she did not expect that the hole in the intestine hunter was deeper than imagined. It took Xiaolin three full days to fill it.
It wasn't until his whole body became weak and his eyes turned black that he realized that holding happiness in his hands was different from holding the future in his hands. It was something more greedy.
The charming woman is more beautiful than before, and a soft smile appears on her face. No matter who she is, she will be extremely surprised, and there is no way to connect her with the scary title of [Gut Hunter].
But when I think that I watered it myself, I feel an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Except for Felt who kept complaining in his ears.
"Xiao Lin, I asked you to save Meili, why did you bring Elsa back too?"
A little loli is a little loli after all.
Even though her heart was open, she still cared about Elsa's actions back then.
"You say that, but in fact you also expect her to come back, right?"
"How can it be?"
"Stop lying."
Xiao Lin flicked her forehead, and replied with a cry of pain and unwillingness: "You obviously know that Meili and Elsa are sisters. What if you only save Meili and come back, and you will become depressed again?" ?”
"Tsk."
Felt clicked his tongue in displeasure, but did not refute.
When Merry's strange behavior occurred, it was during the period when Elsa's whereabouts were unknown. If Elsa really died in front of her, it would cause her huge psychological trauma.
"Actually, what's more important is that I want to save her."
"……Hello!"
The teasing words in her ears made the little loli lose control on the spot. Doesn't this tell her that even if she doesn't say to save her or bluntly says that she won't save her, she will still be saved in the end? How much do you care about her feelings?
"Okay, okay, stop being so emotional."
Xiaolin flexed his fingers and flicked his forehead. When Felt covered his forehead in fear and stepped back, he lowered his hands without interest.
Then he said to her: "Now Emilia has her own knight, and has received the support of the territory, and has entered the eyes of the people of the kingdom as a silver-haired half-elf candidate. It has only been half a month since the king's election ceremony. With time, you can achieve something, don’t you have a sense of crisis?”
Emilia's knights can be said to be the strongest.
Being able to trial and error infinitely and find the optimal solution in constant reincarnations, Natsuki Subaru's ability is so exaggerated.
In addition, the identity of the silver-haired half-elf did cause Emilia a lot of trouble, but as long as she made certain achievements, she could get rid of the original impression.
In other words, Emilia just had a hard time getting started.
But now that she has successfully passed the most difficult period and is about to enter the runway for high-speed takeoff, Xiaolin needs to make more plans.
"I know, I know! You are really annoying!"
Felt curled his lips at these words and asked unhappily: "What does this have to do with saving Elsa?"
"We lack talent."
Xiaolin answered naturally.
Because it was so natural, Felt had no reason to refute.
Regardless of Felt's status as a candidate for the king's election and one of the five highest-ranking people in the kingdom, her power is only the Sword Saint family, and all the forces that originally belonged to the royal family were absorbed by Kurxiu.
This is almost something that can be expected. After all, the Duke is equivalent to the royal family, and among the five candidates for the king's election, Kurxiu has the highest voice.
Isn't this right?
Not only did Xiao Lin and the others defeat the White Whale, Archbishop Sloth also contributed a lot. More importantly, Archbishop Lust and Archbishop Gluttony were also solved here. Their achievements were like a stone thrown into the lake, making a splash. Is it gone?
Probably not enough to arouse everyone's surprise.
For example, if the student at the bottom of the class gets first place in the exam, the whole class will naturally be surprised; but if the good student who was already ranked first in the class wins first place again, everyone will naturally feel accustomed to it.
And Reinhardt, who is known as the strongest on the surface, is undoubtedly the number one good student.
"Hey, hey, I don't want to be a so-called good student! Otherwise, I might as well tear down the kingdom and rebuild it."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
He waved his hands in a perfunctory manner, ignoring Felt's confused eyes.
Returning to the topic just now, he said to the little Loli: "Understand, Elsa is a rare talent, there is no reason to refuse."
"I understand. I have no intention of getting rid of her anyway."
Feltsheng yelled helplessly.
It seems that it will take a lot of time for her to coexist peacefully with the intestine hunter who once had murderous intentions towards her.
"Who knows if you are interested in the fat on her chest."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
Xiao Lin waved his hands in a perfunctory manner, as if he didn't want to explain. He didn't expect the boomerang to come so quickly.
Just as he was making drill gestures with his hands, preparing to greet the little Lolita on her temples, the Little Lolita quickly took out a letter from the flat chest of the little dress.
"Wait, wait, there is a letter from my little brother, are you sure you don't want to read it?"
"Brother? Oh, Natsuki-kun."
After a moment of thinking, Xiao Lin understood who Felute was talking about, and he accepted the letter with an expression of relief, which made the little Loli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Ask as you open the letter.
"Who sent this letter? Why is it in your hands?"
"I don't know him. He drives a dragon car. He has gray hair and a green hat. He looks so-so, but he looks like he's easy to bully. I was playing in the courtyard at the time and happened to bump into him."
"Playing? I think you want to take the opportunity to sneak out?"
"Leave me alone!"
Such a brief description without detailed appearance, for some reason a figure of someone appeared in Xiaolin's mind.
Could it be Otto?
Because he is a businessman who travels to and from the royal capital, he works part-time as a messenger?
Probably.
After opening it, it was written in Japanese, unlike the language from another world. It was certain that the letter was written by Natsuki Subaru himself.
"Xiao Lin, what did it say?"
"Well...it mainly talks about how Natsuki-kun went to Emilia's base camp, the Sanctuary, after the White Whale Crusade a few days ago, and then Emilia liberated the Sanctuary through the trial, and how he eliminated the three major The big rabbit, one of the monsters of Warcraft. To put it simply, it is a letter to show off.”
"What? It's just showing off."
After hearing this, Felt suddenly lost interest.
Among the group of people she met in the slums, she was the only one who had not made any achievements, so she was naturally not happy to hear that Natsuki Subaru had written to show off.
"It also said that he became a knight."
"My little brother has become a knight? So he got his wish?"
Subaru Natsuki participated in the King Selection Ceremony regardless of the obstruction, and made a scene in the palace hall in front of everyone, simply because he did not have the official status of becoming Emilia's assistant.
Now that he has the status of a knight, regardless of whether his strength is comparable to the other four, at least his status is equal.
It should be the best reward for him.
In fact, the above not only talks about these, but also about the witch and the mastermind behind everything from the beginning of the slums.
Regarding witches, Subaru Natsuki said that he met seven in the sanctuary and passed the trial of one of them.
He used his fear of the future to constantly lure him into corruption and hesitation. However, during the trial, he remembered what Xiaolin once said to him. If he died, it would mean the disappearance of this world line and the future would not happen, so he successfully broke free. , so I sincerely thank Kobayashi for the information.
At the same time, he also told him that Roswaal was the mastermind behind everything.
Whether it was entrusting the Sausage Hunters to capture the badge, attacking the mansion, or sealing off the sanctuary, etc., he did it all.
Because I didn't know if Elsa would say it, I told Xiao Lin as a favor.
In the end, Natsuki Subaru emphasized that he listened to Kobayashi's words and punched Roswaal hard to vent his long-standing resentment.
At the same time, he also said that Roswaal had carved the curse of the oath and could no longer do bad things. He hoped that Xiaolin would let him go in large quantities.
"Really, am I the kind of person who will unceremoniously cut the other person into pieces when he is wronged? You are looking down on me too much."
"Xiao Lin? Your expression is very evil!"
Smooth the corners of your mouth at Little Loli's reminder.
Seriously, he was really angry.
Having your things stolen in just a few words, what is the difference between this and being poached?
I really want him to see the goddess so that he can carefully purify his soul that has been dirty for four hundred years!
"Xiao Lin, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just lament that Natsuki-kun has grown up and actually chose to take the guy who has been plotting against me as his subordinate."
"Hey, are you hinting at me?"
"No, I'm making it clear."
"You bastard……!"
The angry little Loli didn't care whether her forehead would be hit or not. She opened her mouth and flashed her little tiger teeth and bit Xiao Lin's arm hard.
"Suffer death! Let you underestimate me!"
"It hurts! Let go quickly. Are you a dog?"
This guy really needs to correct his bad habit of biting people when he's angry. How can he look like a candidate for the king's election?
It seems that I still need to receive a stricter lady education!
——————
"Okay, that's pretty much it."
"The next arrangements are confirmed."
In the conference room, Kobayashi was discussing the next development with Reinhardt.
The king's election was not achieved in one fell swoop, otherwise the three-year agreement would not have been made.
Coupled with the appearance of the White Whale, the three Sin Archbishops, and the Big Rabbit, several candidates for the King's Choice suffered considerable losses. The kingdom also needed time to digest these, so everyone unanimously chose to develop with all their strength.
It has nothing to do with him how the other candidates for the king's election will develop, but Felt needs to recruit talents, otherwise the more it develops and there will be no one available in the end, the more she will suffer.
Of course, he has not forgotten the establishment of the Axis Cult.
Under Kobayashi's persuasion, an orphanage was specially built in the slums with funding from Sword Master Reinhardt and King Select candidate Felt as the representative.
On the grounds of accumulating reserve forces and cultivating new talents, he persuaded the management of the Juggernaut Family to absorb many orphans who had no fathers or mothers or were abandoned by their parents.
It was supposed to bear the name of the Sword Saint family.
But Xiaolin told them in sweet words that doing so would not show Felt's compassion for the people at the bottom, and would also make other candidates for the king's election wary, so he succeeded in naming him after the Axis Cult.
Since you can't win over the nobles, you can win over the common people.
The little girl who came out of the slums understands the hardships of the people at the bottom better. As long as she supports her, she will not be suppressed and exploited by the nobles... Don't you think this banner is very appropriate?
By the way, the director of the orphanage is Mr. Rom.
Ever since he moved into the Juggernaut Family's residence, he had been doing nothing all day long. Feeling uncomfortable, he volunteered to take care of his children.
Originally, Xiao Lin wanted to refuse, at least to find someone reliable.
But who should be allowed to go?
Reinhardt had a hard enough life as a sword master every day, and he couldn't even take care of his children. Although Elsa looks intellectual on the outside, you can't ask her to teach children about assassination or how to disembowel others, right? Not to mention the two little lolita, they can't even take care of themselves, how can they take care of others.
After all, there is still a shortage of people.
However, Mr. Wilhelm and Phyllis the cat-eared man said they would visit when they had free time. There are also some retired knights who will come to take care of their children.
Yes, these people are all members of the expedition team who participated in the White Whale expedition.
After seeing Xiaolin's healing magic, they naturally became devout believers in the Axis Cult.
The seeds have been planted and all that is left to do is wait for them to take root and sprout. When the day is right, the Axis Cult will appear in front of the world and take over the kingdom in one fell swoop.
Xiao Lin has this confidence.
——————
On this day, the sun was just rising from the horizon.
Vendors and farmers should be up at this time, but nobles should still be dreaming.
However, at the gate of the Juggernaut Family's residence, a group of people stood here to see someone off.
"Okay, that's it."
Xiao Lin motioned for them to go back.
The king's election matter has come to an end for the time being, and since he has been out for more than a month, it is time to go back.
He did not forget to promise Wilhelm to ask about his wife.
"Are you leaving now? He did such and such things to me, and yet he turns around and abandons me. He is really a heartless man."
Elsa's words were full of resentment.
Of course, there is a lot of pretense.
Ever since she was resurrected and found new happiness, she has been clinging to Xiao Lin. She even called him a sausage hunter and would never let go of the thing he liked. Even if Liu Zi was jealous and the two almost fought, she would not hold back.
"You know, I can't take you with me."
It's not that Elsa can't be brought with him, but Felt needs her more.
Reinhardt was still a knight of the kingdom before taking orders from Felt, so if he encountered any danger, he might not be able to come to his aid in time, and at this time, he would need another powerful person as a bodyguard.
Gut Hunter is the perfect candidate.
"I know, I just want to see you in distress."
Elsa looked at him with a bright smile.
To actually say that on purpose, how disgusting is it?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, I would definitely make her look good! ...Of course, whether it can win is another matter. At least the momentum cannot be lost.
"Xiao Lin, come back as soon as possible."
Even Felt had a look of reluctance on his face. He obviously wanted to pretend to be happy to piss off Xiaolin, but in the end he couldn't control his emotions.
"I will. And Meili too. You must listen to your sister."
"Yes, I understand. Meili will be obedient."
"So good."
He shaved the little black-haired loli's nose, and then said to Reinhardt and Lord Rom: "I will leave it to you during my absence."
"give it to me."
"Okay, I will watch over Lord Felut and prevent her from doing anything wrong."
After receiving the reply, Xiaolin nodded.
When Felt asked "Reinhardt, what did you mean just now?", he and Liu Zi left the Sword Saint family station and left this world.
