Although Marcos knew in advance that Carl was doing something crazy, he was surprised to see Carl emerge from the cave almost unharmed. It's hard to imagine him single-handedly clearing out all the monsters in the lava cave, and while there would be others who could do it, Marcos finds it a bit unbelievable now.

Carl looked at Marcos and Camille outside the cave in some surprise, and his gaze made the two of them stand up nervously, they didn't want to let Carl feel down by coming here without permission. Carl only sighed slightly, though, and his relaxed expression didn't look like he meant to blame the two. "You still can't control yourself, Marcos. ”

"Yes, that's who I am. Marcos spread his hands and smiled awkwardly.

"Still, I'm glad you're here, and it's great to see you after battling those ugly monsters. Karl smiled.

"Is it bad?" Marcos asked.

"It's not too bad, but overall it's still a lot of trouble. One thing I can guarantee is that you will be able to pass through the lava cave with peace of mind. Carl handed over a cigarette.

Marcos nodded and took the cigarette. "Then I think maybe I missed a show, which is really bad. ”

"Trust me, you'll have a chance. Carl said confidently.

"Of course, I believe you. Marcos lit the cigarette that Carl handed him with a match.

More than that, Carl obviously had other questions to ask the two of them. And neither of them had to guess at all, Carl would definitely ask questions related to the girl standing next to him. Her appearance was sudden, so the two of them were able to tell Carl that there was only a limit to what happened, and that Erin herself had to tell her story in detail about what had happened.

It's nice to be able to find someone in an unfamiliar place, and it seems to be a testament to the abilities that Erin has developed in the Princess's Courtyard. Thinking of this, Carl felt that it was the right choice to do everything he could to get Erin from the desolate and impossible to the prosperous emperor. He even remembered Erin's look of amazement when she first came to the Imperial Capital, despite the disgust and discrimination that the locals always looked at her at first. Carl didn't know what Erin had experienced later in the Imperial Capital, in short, he didn't want the other party to have too many bitter experiences.

"I came across the news about you by accident during a conversation with Captain Fischer, and it may have been a bit of luck in it, after all, he was the first person I met when I fell from the Celestial Realm to Arad. "It can be seen that Erin is not very receptive to everything here, whether it is the people who live here and some strange races, and the things here.

"Thank you for finding here. There was a hint of concern in Karl's tone, it was a long way from the West Coast to the Affalia Mountains, which meant that Erin had traveled from the West Coast more than a month ago. And at that time, Carl had just finished his terrible journey in the spider cave.

"Gathering information is a compulsory course in the Imperial Courtyard. Erin smiled. "I had a lot of trouble along the way, although most of it was minor. Probably the only thing that got me into trouble was the dryads that lived near Komka. I've never seen anything like it, but the locals have been begging me to help them get rid of the dryad. ”

"You agree?" Erin's words reminded Carl and the others of the short few days they spent in Komka, where the effects and damage inflicted on the natives by the Mist Demon Helim and the Dryads were still vivid, though the latter had its own reasons for harming humans.

"I wasn't going to get involved in the world below, but considering that I didn't have much money on me at the time, I agreed to their request. After all, they look quite pathetic. I've seen the corpses of people who have been killed by the dryads, and it's very miserable. Erin said unbearably.

"Alas, you're still as kind as ever......" Karl sighed.

"I didn't spare the guys at Kahlert. Erin folded her arms in her arms and looked slightly angry.

"I'm sorry, Erin, I didn't mean that. Carl hurriedly apologized.

But Erin wasn't angry in the first place, she just took it as a prank. So when Carl apologized, she laughed mischievously. "It's a detriment to your image in front of your peers. ”

Marcos and Camilli glanced at each other, and it was true that Carl like this was uncommon. The only explanation is that the girl named Erin is indeed Carl's sweetheart, and in fact, from their conversation, the two can already guess the relationship between Carl and Erin. But they made the same decision as Anna and did not interrupt the conversation between the two.

"So, would you like to introduce me to a friend you know?" said Erin, looking expectantly.

"Of course. Karl nodded, then looked away, then reached out his left hand and waved at Camille. "This is Kamili Ella, a qigong master from the Void Ancestor. Then, this one was ......" Carl paused, and honestly, he really didn't know how to introduce Marcos. After much thought, he lowered his voice and spoke again. "Cunning bastard, Marcos Cheney. ”

"I love that title to death. Marcos smiled shamelessly.

"Hello, I'm Erin Stoker. Erin performed a royal courtyard to the two of them, just as Freya had seen them for the first time. The etiquette made the two of them feel strange and familiar at the same time, but they still quickly responded to Erin's etiquette by making corresponding actions.

Now that Cal's purpose has been achieved, there is no reason for everyone to stay in this ghost place. Marcos and Camille agree that they can at least call Fett and Anna to give Carl a ride. There will definitely be a chance to meet again, but I don't know when it will be. Maybe it's going to be fast, maybe it's going to be slow, and at the moment, it's all out in between.

On the way back, Carl confided the contents of Kelly's letter to the trio. Although Camilli was somewhat confused, the content of the letter was undoubtedly important to Erin and Marcos. Marcos felt it was time for him to confess something to Carl before he left. He didn't know how Carl would react, but he hoped that the other party wouldn't blame him for hiding these things.

"Hey, Carl, there's something I have to tell you. Marcos said cautiously.

"What's the matter?" Karl asked.

"Actually, at the time of the Lotus incident, I had a couple of encounters on the west coast with some guy from the Ardennes Heights garrison. With that, Marcos began to observe Carl's reaction. To his surprise, Karl did not react too violently, considering that in Marcos's impression, Karl had said that very few of the Ardennes Heights garrison survived.

"What's his name?" Karl asked the question in a bland voice.

"Nils, "Left Straight Fist" Nils. Marcos replied word for word.

When Marcos said his name, Karl looked surprised. "Nils, you say, he's on the continent of Arad?"

"Yes. Marcos nodded. "We had some deals, he gave me the chips that Warhammer needed, and I gave him the intel he was interested in. We're also investigating a few things together that have to do with Kahlert. ”

"Can you elaborate?" Karl didn't mean to blame Marcos, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief, as if he was more concerned about what the two had investigated about Kahlert.

"It happened so strangely, if it weren't for an accident, I probably wouldn't have noticed it......"
