"Your Majesty, is it okay for Joseph to go alone?"

After Joseph left Roland and Kakarit's line of sight, Kakarit turned to Roland and asked softly, "According to me, the Tree of Crucifixion is also a transcendent being above the Golden Order. If he had been attacked by it, Joseph would have been more than lucky. ”

"So, I'm just asking him to find out the information."

Roland nodded, and said solemnly, "The reason why I let him go to the City of Fortune and let you follow me is because his concealment ability is much better than yours. He can get closer to the Tree of Affliction than you can without being spotted by it, and he can run away if he does. ”

"But your considerations do have a point. It is true that Joseph may have been in danger in exploring the Tree of Suffering, and I cannot put you in such a dangerous situation. So ......"

Roland paused slightly, then opened his mouth and called softly, "--Elukado! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy shadow appeared from Roland's shadow, covering the entire shadow like an octopus spitting ink. An oily, oily-red liquid that gives a heavy feeling oozes from the shadows.

At that moment, a solemn sense of terror suddenly grabbed Kakarit's heart, and his heart beat desperately as if it was about to explode, and Kakarit even felt that his neck and wrists were trembling by the crazy beating heart. Because of his excellent perception, the horror he felt was more than ten times that of ordinary people.

It was as if he saw the world in front of him turn scarlet in an instant, and the thick blood lingered between his mouth and nose, and death was already approaching. The illusion dissipated before it lasted even half a second, and Kakarit's back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

- What kind of monster is that?!

In his terrified gaze, the silhouette of half a girl rose in Roland's shadow, and the periphery of the silhouette was all eyes of different sizes.

Just being stared at by those eyes, the emotions of fear, rage, and resentment turned into an invisible storm that swept over. Nearly tore Kakarit's spirit to shreds.

"It's rude...... My master. ”

A soft, somewhat hoarse voice sounded, and the eyeballs and the black-red viscous liquid gradually faded away, revealing the beautiful girlish appearance within.

Even Kakarit couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

It was elven beauty. The corners of his mouth, as if he had been contemptuous of something, were raised, and he didn't put away his habitual smile even when he looked at Roland.

She wears a somewhat handsome and mysterious scarlet trench coat with intricate patterns on the top and the hem hanging down to her calves. In the afternoon sun. From a distance, you might even think it's a humanoid flame or a burning blood.

Her waist-length black hair looked like a swarm of snakes and black flames. The moment Kakarit saw her, he vaguely saw a black-red light and shadow like a water elemental hundreds of meters high flashing over her.

After being summoned by Roland, she has been staring at Kakarit with interesting eyes. The feeling of being targeted by a superior predator made Kakarit dare not even move.

Kakarit had no doubt that if he confronted her, he would have his throat torn apart if he couldn't even say the first prayer.

Just looking at her made Kakarit shudder.

…… It turns out that His Majesty Roland has been raising such a terrible monster in his shadow?

Kakarit couldn't even speak.

"Elukado, you follow Joseph on a trip to the City of Fortune."

Roland spoke softly, "In case Joseph is attacked by the Tree of Suffering." Or it is dangerous to provoke the Tree of Suffering. If this happens, he's probably in danger...... That's why I asked you to follow him. ”

"Ah...... I understand. I see, my master. I'm going to go. ”

Elukado chuckled, his eyes glinting with pleasure.

Roland smiled and held out his left hand towards Elukado.

So Elukado knelt down on one knee, kissed the back of Roland's hand gently, and murmured softly, "Peace be upon you." My master. ”

After that, she bowed her head slightly. The whole person turned into a shadow and sank back to the ground.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Kakarit bowed his head in shame: "Your Majesty, I am convinced by your kindness. ”

"It's not kindness. Kakarit. ”

But Roland shook his head and said softly, "Joseph's trip is indeed risky, and it is my fault that I did not notice this. You don't have to apologize, Kakarit, and I thank you for the reminder. ”

"However, you sent your own guards out to protect your subordinates. So what about your own safety? ”

"No, Your Majesty......" Kakarit's eyes showed a look of worry and excitement at the same time, "I will protect your safety." While it may not have been as good as Lord Elukado, I will never die after you. ”

"If you really die before me, I'm going to be distressed."

Roland said: "I have more important tasks to give you." ”

“…… A more important task? No. Your Majesty, do you mean ......?"

"There is a specialization in the so-called art industry, Kakarit. Joseph is indeed better suited than you for stealth scouting and the like, and Elukado's guardianship is reassuring to me. But when it comes to mission, the only one I can trust is you. ”

Roland replied softly, word by word. His gaze was gentle, and the emerald pupils were deep and calm.

"But, your safety—"

Kakarit shook his head repeatedly, his voice hurrying.

"Listen to me, Cacarit," Roland interrupted Cacarit forcefully, "I need the stability of Richero, and I need a group of followers of Caral. I don't think there's a better time to proselytize than now. ”

"But ......"

As soon as Kakarit opened his mouth, the words were stuck in his throat.

Yes. He also knew that Roland could not find anyone else to help him preach for a while.

The catastrophe of Richero will begin to subside in only a day or two. At that time, when the restless minds of the people gradually subsided, the baptism of the Sleeping Teacher was not so effective.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to the Grand Duke. It has already been trampled by the caral scavengers, and there will be any danger. ”

Roland paused slightly, then continued: "Moreover, I have other things to ask you for. In two or three days, a follower of the Guru will come to Richero, and you will be here to help me pick him up. He's an undead, and if you see him, bring him with you to me. ”

“…… As you wish. After a slight hesitation, Kakarit answered, "Well, his name ......."

"Toto. You can call him Duoduo. ”

Roland replied at once, "That's it, Kakarit. You helped me recruit a group of followers of the Mentor in Richero, and then stayed here until you came back to the City of Fortune after Toto came. I'll be waiting for you around there. ”

After receiving Kakarit's affirmative answer, Roland smiled reassuringly.

So he turned and walked southwest. (To be continued.) )
