The orange-red sunset covered the sky, and several clouds that were originally white were dyed the color of the setting sun.

The sea breeze blows through the reeds, and the swaying reeds are like waves on the other side of the seawall.

There were two and a half footprints on the seawall at dusk, which were old Charles on crutches and an old woman who was richly dressed but had a somewhat haggard face.

Within a radius of several miles of the seawall, the retired old cadres cleared the field, leaving space for the old leader and the queen mother of the Osm kingdom, Mogina.

Those attendants who originally planned to accompany the Queen Mother were held back by the old cadres, and they didn't want to step into the blockade line.

At this time, old Charles also sighed, and silently led Mogina to walk on the seawall.

The royal families of the three fish-man kingdoms in the sea have been intermarrying each other all year round, and now the queen of the Osme Kingdom is from the Hayfeth Kingdom in the southeast sea, and the Queen Mother Mogina is from the Truton Kingdom in the northeast sea, and she is related to Melidis whom Charles Jr. met a while ago.

After reaching a place, old Charles stopped, turned and looked out at the sea to the east.

Against the backdrop of the sunset, the water is now the same orange-red as the sky.

"In the blink of an eye, seven hundred years. There was a hint of vicissitudes in Old Charles's voice.

Mogina stood quietly to the side, looking at Old Charles with some puzzlement.

Since her husband passed away and her son succeeded to the throne, Mogina has been living a life of idleness, and every day is so monotonous and boring.

After her son ascended to the throne, he went to see her less and less. And her grandson has ignored her since he was a child, and the two will only meet during the royal family ceremony. The nobles who had been revolving around her all the time went to her daughter-in-law's side.

When Mogina, who lamented that people were going to tea and cold every day, and felt that she had been abandoned by the world, suddenly heard that she was going to marry again, she thought that her maid was telling jokes to amuse herself as before.

But when she was "invited" out of her residence and into the turtle car, with the door locked, her heart was first angry, then helpless.

No one in this world cares about the thoughts of a queen mother who is no longer useful.

Old Charles, who was also "invited" to Reed City, fared slightly better, because he also had a group of old subordinates and old brothers who didn't think much of a big deal to watch the excitement.

When he first met Mogina, the elder Charles was stunned for a moment, because Mogina looked too much like one of his old friends.

Charles Sr. stood on the seawall and continued to look at the sea and tell the story of seven hundred years ago, "When I met Ursula, she was being hunted down. You should know this history, right?"

"Hmm. Mogina nodded slightly, "The book says she met you while she was on the run. ”

"yes. Old Charles sighed, "At that time, Arai-kun and I had just completed a mission, and just as we were going to the Adventurers' Guild to hand in the mission, Ursula crashed into us. ”

"The people who pursued her were cruel to us, and they were beaten away by Arai-kun and them. That night, the hotel where we were staying was attacked by a sneak attack, and as a result, the sneak attackers were killed by Arai-kun and others, who had been prepared for a long time. ”

"As the books have said later, Ursula became my student, and then we went on an adventure on the continent with Arai-kun and them. ”

Mogina listened quietly to the story of the legendary queen of the Tron Kingdom, and from time to time she brushed her hair from time to time when she was blown by the sea breeze.

Old Charles was silent for a while, and then said again: "After more than ten years, we are separated here. ”

"Ursula wants to go back and reclaim his throne, and before leaving, Arai-kun gives Ursula a trident that he has made himself, which now represents the king of the Chuan Kingdom. ”

"Arai-kun is going to take his wives to fight the demons, and before leaving, he gave me this crutch. ”

After saying that, the elder Charles raised the well-maintained cane in his hand, and then continued: "After many years, Ursula, who has regained the throne, came to visit Greentown, and she brought her grandson, who was five or six years old at the time. ”

"And by that time, Arai-kun and they had no news, there were rumors that they were all killed in battle, and there were rumors that he was seriously injured and then lived in seclusion somewhere on the mainland. ”

After reminiscing about the past, old Charles turned his head and smiled at Mogina, and then said, "You look so much like Ursula's child, I thought I was back seven hundred years ago." ”

Mogina lowered her head a little embarrassed, only the elves knew what Queen Ursula, who was legendary for revenge seven hundred years ago, looked like.

By this time, the sun had already sunk half below the horizon behind them, and the sky was beginning to darken, and the sea breeze was gradually turning black.

Old Charles stroked his hair, and then said to Mogina: "You can live here with peace of mind these days, and let your son and grandson who are not worrying about it feel at ease." ”

"What are they up to, when we don't know?"

"When they show their true colors, you can go wherever you want, for Ursula's sake, I'll do it for you. ”

As soon as he had said that, old Charles strode towards Reed City on crutches, leaving Mogina standing there with a sad face.

Soon after, the Osmus delegates received news that the Elven King Charles had returned to Greentown overnight, and that their Queen Mother, Mogina, was staying at the hotel in Reeds that day, and that the guards of the inn had been replaced by royal court guards.

Seeing that the mission had made good progress, the Osm delegates finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the elder Charles got on the train back to Greentown, little Charles and the others were carefully searching for the depths of the forest to the northwest.

Just as the day was about to dawn, they found a brightly lit barracks at the foot of a hill.

Charles, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly gasped, there were more than 50,000 fish-men in this barracks.

Woodward took note of the situation in the barracks and quietly retreated behind two hills to the east.

After finding a safe place, Charles took out a set of magic telecommunications equipment from the storage ring, and Woodward dictated the contents, and Dean sent the information to Greentown.

Charles was glad that Slim had taken an extra set of magic teleportation systems in his name before he left, and put them in his storage ring as a backup system. After all, the storage of these devices is environmental, and storage rings are the best place to store them.
