Chapter 68: Return to the Grand Canyon

"I wonder how Lanka is doing? Obviously, his injuries haven't healed yet, so he shouldn't just let him go. And the little imp of Kodev III, I don't know if I can hold on to the past. ”

I put the armor of silence into the space box, and used my magic to fly and sigh to myself, surrounded by floating clouds as light as a veil.

When Lanka learns that the king is in trouble, he uses one of the teleportation stones he has with him, and his figure disappears, leaving the only goodbye word to Nina, "I will definitely come back".

Although the mood of wanting to rush to his father's side is understandable, judging from the disparity in strength between the two sides, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. It was not easy to establish a good relationship with this country, and if it was destroyed by the rebels like this, it would be a real headache.

In order to prevent this from happening, I immediately sent Geous to help, and it should not be difficult to turn the tide with Geaus's strength. However, it will take quite a while to get to the royal capital from here, even if it is to fly, so I can only hope that Geous can catch up smoothly.

"Teacher, I don't understand, why do you need to spend so much effort to conquer a small country like the Principality of Basol with a little strength?"

The words of Marosas, who followed me closely, were full of doubts and puzzles.

"Well, although it is not difficult to conquer this country, I think it is better not to use force if we can talk, probably so."

Although conquest is interesting in the game, there are still a lot of concerns when it comes to reality, after all, innocent lives will be implicated.

"I see! I know! ”

Malotas suddenly cried out in realization.

What the? What the? What do you know? I don't even know about it.

This time it was my turn to look at Marosas with a puzzled face, but luckily my skeletal face was expressionless, otherwise it would have been a bit embarrassing.

The green flames in Marosas's eyes burned violently, and he looked very proud, and he said in a confident tone: "If you openly destroy a country, it will definitely attract the attention of those powerful countries, but it is different to manipulate it in secret. The teacher wants to control the upper echelons of the country first, and then control the entire country through them, so that it is convenient to act without attracting attention, and finally conquer the world in this way! What a teacher! Your resourcefulness is truly impressive! ”

"Conquest, conquest of the world?"

Blown away by Marosas' amazing imagination, I couldn't help but cry out.

"Teacher, although the less people know about your plan, the better, but you don't need to keep it a secret from me, since I, Marosas, have made a contract with you, I will give my life for you."

As if mistaken for believing that I didn't trust him, Malotas expressed his loyalty in a resolute tone.

"Actually...... Ah, haha, you found out, it's Marosas! I'm going to tell you about it after I've done some preparations. ”

Actually, I was just trying to find a way home, but I couldn't say that, so I nodded to Marosas and confirmed his guess.

"I, Marosas, will definitely sacrifice my strength to you with the goal of seizing the world for my teacher in the future!"

Malotas respectfully placed his hand on his chest.

"Actually, you don't have to...... I mean, I believe in you Marosas, and I'm looking forward to your activity in the future! ”

I responded in a dignified tone like a ruler, but I smiled bitterly in my heart, and I always felt that the style of painting was a little wrong, as if I had unconsciously become a villain.

"We're here!"

Beyond the labyrinth of steep rocks, a huge lake emerges through the clouds, surrounded by vibrant green land, and even at high altitude, you can still see herds of herbivores rushing rapidly. There are many buildings on one side of the lake, and you can faintly see the many figures busy in them. It seems that during the time I was away, Sack and Ace Race were not lazy at all, and the scale of the monster village was now comparable to that of a city.

That's right, having achieved my goal in the Duchy of Basol, I thought it was time to go back to the Grand Canyon, so I flew back with Malotas. Il's words remained in the village because he also wanted to help the villagers rebuild their houses.

Landing in the open space at the entrance of the village, the monsters who were working hard around them put down their work one after another, and they shouted excitedly, looking very happy.

After a while, another group of monsters quickly ran out of the village and knelt down respectfully in front of me. Races include forest trolls, goatmen, goblins, fishmen, etc., and almost all the high-ranking cadres in Mo'an Village came.

"Lord Kilgaru, you're finally back."

As the acting village chief, Sack was the first to speak, the red hair on his back became longer and denser, looking like a cloak, and the muscles of his body became harder.

"Don't come here unharmed, how are you doing?"

I watched everyone as if I had seen a long-lost relative, and everyone had happy expressions on their faces, and their bodies were stronger than they were before I left, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the food supply in the village.

Then my eyes fell on a black monster beside Zack, who was supposed to be a goatman with white hair on his chest, and although his appearance had changed somewhat, it was not completely unrecognizable.

"Aceres? What's wrong with your body? ”

I was very surprised to see the changes in Aceres, but more of a concern.

"Rest assured, Lord Kilgaru, I'm fine, and the changes in my body are proof that I'm getting stronger."

Ace Rose smirked.

"That's great."

Knowing that Ace Rose was fine, I nodded reassuringly.

"The hosts! Is the owner back? Master! ”

The ground beneath his feet vibrated rhythmically, as if some kind of behemoth was approaching. The huge skeletal warrior with the crown screamed and ran, and the monsters along the way ducked to the side.

Isn't this Skeletron? If I'm not mistaken, doesn't he absorb the life force around him? Why didn't the monsters seem to be affected, and the ground he ran on, and the plants didn't wither, what was going on?

"It's Orrick, why doesn't your Death Aura and Weakness Aura have an effect on the lives around you?"

I put my inner doubts into words.

"Hey, hey,"

Skeletron touched the back of his head and laughed, this kind of honest behavior with his mighty king body is really extremely awkward, it is estimated that his mental age is only at the level of a child, hey, is this also the sequelae of summoning a semi-complete body.

"Lord Kilgaru, Your Excellency Skeletron has learned to turn off the aura by himself in order to be able to come out and play, during the time you left, the village has changed a lot, I will take you to visit and talk about it in detail, before that, can I ask who is behind you?"

"Haha, I almost forgot, he's Malothas, a new companion, so let's talk as we go."

I strode forward with a happy mood, and the monsters were tightly around me.
