Marcos and Camille stood at the entrance to the underground cavern and watched the darkness inside, and even now that they think about it, the scene just now seems a little uncanny. They didn't expect that at such a time, a strangely dressed girl would suddenly appear in this location. And the other party actually asked him about Carl, and it happened that the two were indeed Carl's companions.

"What do you think?" Marcos asked Camilli.

"It's obvious, the strangely dressed girl knows Carl. Camilli said calmly. And she rushed in desperately when she knew that Carl was in this cave, which also proves her relationship with Carl. ”

"Makes sense. Marcos had a pompous expression. "But strangely, how did she know Carl was here?"

Maybe she somehow got the news about Carl, though it was difficult. You know, it's very difficult to find someone on the continent of Arad who doesn't know many people at all, and she did just that. Camilli analyzed.

Marcos nodded, "It does surprise me, what a funny girl." Let's keep waiting, if that girl and Carl meet well, I don't think we need to worry about him. ”

"Are you so sure?" Camilli wondered.

"Don't worry, that girl is the person inside Carl in every way. ”

The corners of Camilly's mouth curled slightly, revealing a light smile. "It seems that you like to pry into people's hearts. ”

Marcos raised his hands, palms facing outwards. "I didn't do it on purpose, I just guessed it by accident. You've got to trust me, Kamili. ”

"Yes, I believe you, although even that doesn't change that you're a cunning fellow. Camilli laughed.

"I love that title. ”

Erin didn't know exactly what Carl was referring to, but she could tell that the other seemed to have figured something out. But it was strange for her to have something to do with her appearance, because she came to the continent of Arad because of a gamble made in a desperate situation, and the gambling did not go according to the trajectory of things. But apparently Carl didn't want to go into the question here, and although she didn't know what Carl was doing in such a place, she trusted the other party, and the other party must have their own reasons for doing so.

Carl folded Kelly's letter and pocketed it, making it all the more necessary for him to clear the lava cave of monsters. In any case, not being able to fulfill his promise would be unacceptable to Carl, and he is a serious man when it comes to this kind of thing. Although it would take a short time for the side effects of the alchemy potion to fade, Carl wanted to at least continue the conversation with Erin.

"I have a question, why would Callert know that the Imperial Courtyard had sent people to infiltrate their interior?" was another of Carl's concerns, because if Erin's identity hadn't been revealed, none of this would have happened, and she wouldn't have fallen into the last dangerous situation she wanted.

"There are ghosts in the city of Ghent. Erin replied unexpectedly to Carl.

"Why do you think so?" asked Carl.

Erin's expression became sad, she was always sad about something, and Carl found that she really hadn't changed at all at all over the years. "Before I infiltrated Kaller, a special squad of a company of the Imperial Capital Army and a squad of the Imperial Courtyard had a joint operation with the aim of destroying Kaller's front-line supply depots. The plan was strictly secret, but when the action began, everything was unexpected. The combined team on mission was ambushed by enemy forces, and everything in the supply depot was silently transferred by Kahlert before the operation. ”

"And you're part of that combined team?"

"That's right. Erin's expression became painful. "I ...... I don't really want to recall the course of that operation, we lost some of our comrades, and the purpose of the operation was not achieved. ”

"So from that time on, you suspected that there was an inner ghost in Ghent?"

"Yes, although Lord Kirschka sent someone to secretly investigate for a while, but nothing was found. Obviously, the inner ghost will only carry out activities when the Imperial Capital Army has an important plan, and it does not leave any clues. It's a tough opponent, and I'm sure Lenny's and I identities were leaked as well. In any case, this inner ghost at least has a place in the Imperial Army, otherwise he would not have been able to send information to Kahlert even though Ghent was under close surveillance. ”

Karl fell into deep thought, and indeed, on the face of it, it had nothing to do with him. After all, he is just a tumbleweed that cannot be brought down, and although the Ardennes Heights garrison is nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital, in fact, all supplies and tactics are solved and decided by the garrison itself. And as a person who can't lead people, to be honest, if it weren't for Erin and Freya, Carl wouldn't want to pay attention to the situation in the imperial capital.

"What's wrong, Carl?" Irene asked worriedly, looking at Carl in deep thought.

Carl came to his senses and shook his head. "Nothing. ”

"You must be confused, because we, as the Unable to Lead the People, are now involved in the war between Kahlert and the Imperial Capital. ”

"I don't think it's a bad thing to send you to the emperor in the first place. Karl immediately denied it. "Staying in the Lawless Zone only makes us more rotten, but I'm not saying that the Lawless Zone is useless. But at least in the imperial capital, you can learn and recognize more things. ”

"I know what you think, Carl. You hate that place, even though the people there are looking for unfettered freedom. But does that really exist today?"

Indeed, Erin's words hit Karl straight to the heart. The experience of the Ardennes garrison also taught him that the pursuit of true unfettered freedom comes at a high price. And betrayal of such an ugly thing is also played out inadvertently, and he can't change anything. Kalert, who once pursued true freedom, has now fallen to this point, which makes the hearts of people who cannot be brought even more confused.

If they insist on finding a reason for the war between Kalert and the Imperial Capital, they are more willing to admit that it is because of a certain hatred between them and the Imperial Capital for a long time, rather than the ambition of Khalert's chieftain, Anzu Sefer. Although Karl has no right to judge Caller's approach, his position is up to each individual, so he chose to stand in opposition to Caller. At least in some ways, he couldn't identify with Callert's lawless.

"You've said that if life takes you somewhere else, you'll accept it and make a change and move on. Carl said to Erin.

Erin nodded, "After all, like you said, if we spend our lives in the desert and resource-poor to pursue the false freedom that requires a high price, we will already be rotting in the endless yellow sand." ”

"So now I understand that it's in my heart that I want to make a change. Karl stood up, and now he had finally found a clear purpose. "That sentence inspired me, thank you, Irene. ”

"No thanks, Carl, I'm grateful for everything you've done for me. Erin hurriedly stood up, she was most afraid of Carl saying such things, because no matter what, she could not forget what her other party had done for her and her feelings for each other. And Carl, who had found the goal he had been feeling lost and confused about in this conversation, was now ready to get a head start on what he was about to do.
