The train ticket for Charles's overnight return to Osmanthus City was sold by Rigoletto, and the devil knows what Rigol Lemilitito did to help Charles buy a ticket in the conductor's rest car.

The advantage of this carriage is that it is quiet, and the conductors are resting, unlike ordinary carriages, which do not make a little noise from time to time.

However, the voice of the conductor's young lady chatting softly woke Charles up.

"Well, that's His Highness Charles Jr.?"

"Who else can wear a military uniform?"

"His Royal Highness Little Charles is very good-looking. ”

"yes, yes, it's a pity it's shorter. ”

Charles, who was sleeping there in a row of chairs, knew that the two elf ladies who were beautiful for their long ears were talking about their short ears, but it still sounded a little awkward.

Soon after, it was dawn and the train arrived at the terminal.

There is still a long way to go from Osmanthus City, and Charles saw that the weather was good, so he no longer changed trains as originally planned but rode a motorcycle towards Osmanthus City.

Looking at the back of Charles riding a motorcycle and speeding away, a young and beautiful "mountain elf" at the station gate looked dazed.

In this season of summer and autumn, the rice fields on both sides of the road outside the city are full of ears of rice, and when the wind blows, they rise and fall like ocean waves.

Now is also the time when a small flying insect in the field harms the growth of rice, this small insect will suck the sap of the rice stem, causing the rice to wilt and die.

At the edge of the rice paddies, Charles watched with interest as several "prairie elves" in short shirts with open plackets and exposed chest hair were tackling pests.

The "steppe elves" scooped a thumb-sized slime from the barrel and spread it evenly across the rice paddies.

These tiny slimes were confused when they landed in the fields, and they quickly refreshed themselves because they smelled the food.

A few small insects smaller than the head of a match are landing on the stem of a rice plant, and they have been hatching from their eggs for almost twenty days, and they are about to start breeding with the rest of their kind in the evening after they have eaten and drunk enough.

The sudden appearance of a small slime put an end to all this, only to see a slime leap up from the water and smash itself on the stem of the rice with a "snap".

By the time the slime fell back into the water, it had already swallowed three worms.

Charles, Tanabe, picked up a freshly fed slime with a mage's hand, and found that the worms in its stomach had begun to be digested, and its wings had been dissolved by the slime's stomach acid.

Charles put the slime back in his hand in the field, and then asked the "steppe elf" uncle on the side: "Are there a lot of bugs now?"

"Uncle Prairie" said: "Yes, now that it is starting to get cold in the north, these insects will take advantage of the north wind to fly to the south. Now that the eggs laid by these insects have grown, they will fly further south. ”

At the end of the sentence, the tone of "Uncle Prairie" became gloating.

Charles laughed along.

During the year of his absence, the battle line with the Fishmen in the south had stabilized, with only small, elite battles behind enemy lines in most places, with the exception of a few key areas where large-scale battles were often frequent.

During the year, the fishmen intensified their migration to the occupied areas on the shore and began to learn to cultivate the land on the shore.

However, farming is a technical task, and in addition to water and fertilizer management, pest control is also a priority.

It is foreseeable that in the first two or three years, the fish-man could not even plant straw well.

Before Charles left last year, he had a vague sense that the staff was working on an important plan that would take "up" a decade to complete.

Ten years is a long time for Charles, enough for him to grow into a fat man of more than two hundred pounds, but for an elf who has a lifespan of more than a thousand years, ten years is just a blink of an eye.

Because of the different concept of the length of time, Charles felt that everyone had not been seen for a long time when he returned to the headquarters, and the elves who knew each other had just returned from a Golden Week holiday.

But in Elizabeth's eyes, it's a different look, Charles, who used to be well-behaved and sensible, suddenly became a little colored embryo, is this okay?!

When Charles met Elizabeth, Elizabeth was tending to the extremely beautiful and valuable Bird of Paradise Feather Duster.

Charles, who entered Elizabeth's room, shrunk his neck, and then said with joy: "Sister, I'm back!"

"It's good to be back......," Elizabeth finally sighed when she saw Charles, and pointed to the sofa next to her for Charles to sit down.

"Grew a little taller again. Elizabeth looked at Charles carefully for a moment and said, "Tell me what you've done over the past year?"

Charles sat on the couch and gave Elizabeth a detailed account of his outing.

The more Elizabeth listened, the more she felt that Charles's path was different from others, in this year's time, Charles's main deeds were to accept apprentices to open a restaurant in the Principality of Andorra, establish the Jiuyang Chamber of Commerce in the Principality of Milan and invest in the Black Eagle Chamber of Commerce, develop the slime plastic bag manufacturing industry in the Kingdom of Bischberg, encourage the bandits to change to sheep farming, and get a piece of land in the forest for the machine spirits to do research.

In Charles's story, the traditional adventurer's plot, including the discovery of a group of artifacts, is not so important.

At the end of Charles's more than two-hour narration, Elizabeth asked him, "Did you miss something?"

Charles looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, except for the matter of Old Lady Zhang and the patron saint Panpan, he said everything he could, even the fact that he beat up Mordred.

Elizabeth's eyes were cold, she looked at Charles and said, "Why did Auntie come to find you?"

Charles shrunk his neck as a hairduster poked him in the head.

"You!" Elizabeth said in a tone of hatred as she poked Charles, "You are good at everything, but you are so young that those men are obsessed with women, do you want to die on a woman's belly at a young age?"

"Diana is really ...... too"

Charles pouted, according to the generation of Victoria and Catherine sisters, Diana is still Elizabeth's elder.

He shouted: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, Diana and I are not messing around, I have already given her my mother's necklace." ”

"Besides, have you ever seen me attack anyone, I haven't made excuses to take advantage of you for so many years as beautiful as you. ”

"If I can't beat you, you don't dare to take advantage of you, then Mordred I can always beat it, do you see that I take advantage of her?"

"Yo-heh!" Elizabeth looked at Charles with an exaggerated expression of surprise, "so it seems that you are still a dedicated person." ”

Charles nodded.

"I don't care about you. Elizabeth leaned back on the sofa and looked like she had given up, "Anyway, you have to be honest with me in the next three years, and even if you kill my aunt in three years, I don't care, I will cook red bean rice for you then." ”

The corners of Charles's mouth twitched, but fortunately Artoria didn't have time to come, otherwise Elizabeth would have been beaten again.

He decided to change the subject, so he asked, "Sister, how is the front line now?"

Elizabeth gave Charles a deep look and said, "The plan has changed, and we will not take the initiative to launch a large-scale offensive in principle for the next eight to nine years. ”

Charles frowned and thought for a moment, and finally gasped, he asked, "Is it to let those prisoners of war who were previously captured ......?"

"You can just guess for yourself, you don't need to say it. Elizabeth interrupted Charles.

She then said seriously: "Your next task is to continue studying, I told you before that I would let you continue to study in the Knowledge City. ”

"If you go to the Knowledge City in three years and lose my face because you are too stupid, I will use you as a sacrifice to exchange snacks with the devil, you know?"

Charles hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Sister, do you have any delicious snacks over there?"

Elizabeth recalled, "There were too many to count. ”

Then she took out a stack of parchment paper from the storage ring and threw it to Charles, saying, "You finish writing these papers tonight, and I'll see if you have regressed, so that I can arrange your follow-up study plan." ”

Charles took the one-meter-thick stack of parchment with a bitter face, thinking that life would still be difficult for the next three years.
