After returning to the castle, Fang Zheng told everyone the news that Emilia and Firut were participating in the royal election. As expected, this also surprised everyone. However, as friends, they naturally supported the two, but...

“If that happens, Felt won’t be able to go on adventures with us.”

The priestess was still somewhat disappointed, but Fang Zheng waved his hand.

“No, the plan remains unchanged. Firut will go with you. Not only Firut will go, but Emilia will also join.”

"Why?"

Hearing this, both sides were stunned.

"Why?"

"Because adventurers can better contact every aspect of society, and as adventurers, you will also have a clearer understanding of the country's situation."

Having said this, Fang Zheng looked towards Firut.

"The life of an adventurer is different from your time in the slums, so you should remember that. Also, from now on, I want you to start your activities centered around the Kingdom of Lugnica."

"Are you going to... do this?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded.

“Felt and Emilia are both candidates for the king’s election. Although this kind of thing cannot be spread randomly, if you act as an adventurer and help solve difficulties, you can also improve your reputation to a certain extent. Especially Emilia, if you aim to become the king, you must accept and adapt to this situation.”

"Okay, I understand."

Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Emilia was still somewhat nervous and uneasy, but she still nodded.

At this moment, Huihui suddenly thought of something.

"Wait, to celebrate the new members joining the team, are we going to..."

"That's right."

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Let's go fight the goblins. Just treat it as a welcome party. This can also become a traditional activity of your team in the future, right?"

“I don’t want this kind of traditional project!”

Huihui immediately had a sad face, while the priestess and Ais did not respond at all. Only Emilia and Firut looked at this scene in surprise. Looking at Emilia, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly. The reason why he did this was to target Emilia. In Fang Zheng's opinion, Emilia was still too "saintly" and lacked the beating of society. A crusade against the goblins who left at will should be able to effectively stimulate Emilia.

As for whether Emilia and Firut would be in danger, Fang Zheng was not worried. After all, Emilia had the great elf Puck by her side. A goblin that could defeat a great elf... hehe, then it wasn't a goblin anymore.

At the same time, a group of uninvited guests came to the Adventurer's Guild in a small town not far away.

"Are you guys here to look for Goblin Slayer?"

Looking at the three people in front of her, the lady at the counter smiled.

"I'm so sorry. He just accepted the mission to kill the goblins yesterday and hasn't returned yet."

"So how long will it take?"

The one who asked the question was a girl standing in front of the counter lady. She carried a longbow on her back, had a slender figure and long emerald green hair, and her pointed ears also revealed the true identity of the girl in front of her - she was an elf.

"This time the destination is quite far away, it may take a week..."

“Too slow!”

"Hey little girl, as an elf, you should be more patient."

The dwarf standing next to the elf girl stroked his beard and laughed.

"That's why you can't grow up."

"What did you say? It's not even as high as my waist...!"

Looking at this strange team made up of high elves, dwarves and lizardmen, the counter lady couldn't help but feel puzzled. Not only that, they were all silver-level adventurers, which was also surprising.

Generally speaking, silver-rank adventurers wouldn't be interested in monsters like goblins.

Unfortunately, the silver-level adventurer who is currently most suitable for taking the mission has not returned yet.

but……

"that……"

Thinking of this, the lady at the counter raised her hand and interrupted their quarrel.

"If you three want to solve problems related to goblins, then I can recommend another adventure team. Although they are only Obsidian-level adventurers, they are very good at solving goblins and should be able to help you."

"Really?"

Hearing the counter lady's words, the three of them quickly turned their heads.

"But the Obsidian level... isn't it too low?"

"But after all, we are dealing with the goblins... Don't you guys think so too?"

“That’s right…”

The three of them discussed in a low voice, and then the elf archer looked at the lady at the counter again.

"So, where is that team?"

"They are not here, but in a castle not far away. You can follow the road outside the town and it will take about 20 minutes to get there. As for the commission, it will be handled by our Adventurer's Guild..."

However, before the counter lady could finish her words, the door of the guild suddenly opened, and a lively voice was heard.

"Hahaha, I can already feel it. This is the guidance of fate..."

"Ah, Miss Huihui, you came just in time."

Seeing the priestess and her group walking in from the guild door, the lady at the counter also smiled.

"We are here to accept commissions. Do you have any commissions regarding goblins?"

"Of course, these people are actually looking for someone to take on the Goblin commission."

"Ah, that's perfect. The Knight wants us to take on another Goblin mission..."

"What's the reason this time?"

"Um... welcome to the newcomers?"

"Why?"

Hearing this, the counter lady was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Firut and Emilia walking out from behind the priestess.

"These two are going to apply to become adventurers and join our team."

"That's fine, but they're new, right? Is that really okay?"

"Don't worry, big sister."

In response to the counter lady's question, Firut gave a nonchalant answer.

"Emilia and I are both very powerful! Besides, it's just a goblin, it's no problem!"

"Ah, um..."

Hearing Firut's answer, the lady at the counter responded with a little embarrassment, then she looked at the priestess, who also showed a helpless smile and nodded.

So the lady at the counter immediately understood what she meant.

"Okay, I'll handle the formalities for you two now..."

At the same time, in the castle, Fang Zheng was looking at the town in the distance from the window, and Beatrice was rarely seen enjoying the breeze beside him.

"I never thought you would let that little girl be an adventurer. In my opinion, that little girl is not cut out for it."

"In my opinion, she is not fit to be king either."

Facing Beatrice's words, Fang Zheng nodded. After interacting with Emilia, Fang Zheng found that Emilia's biggest problem was that she was too saintly.

This is not the kind of white left that is ridiculed online, but a true saint... This is what makes people feel headache.

Kindness is a good quality, but it also depends on the occasion and identity. If Emilia continues to live her life in the frozen forest, then being too kind is just a minor flaw for her, but if Emilia wants to become the king, then this level of kindness is already a lethal dose for her.

Kindness itself is not a problem, and consideration for others is not a problem either, but kindness without bottom line is courting death.

In Fang Zheng's opinion, the goblin will give Emilia a very good ideological education lesson.

But it is unknown what score Emilia will get in this exam.

Emilia's intention to challenge racial discrimination is naturally good, but now we don't know whether she will become Martin Luther King, Gandhi or Mandela.

Although the endings of these ones are not very good.

But then again…

"Aren't you bored staying in the library all day? Why don't you go out for a walk?"

"No."

Beatrice snorted when she heard Fang Zheng's words.

"Betty has a mission in the library."

"Mission? What mission?"

“…”

In response to Fang Zheng's question, Betty was silent for a moment, then she waved her hand, and then Fang Zheng saw a book appear in Beatrice's hand.

“That’s Betty’s mission.”

"Uh... I don't quite understand, could you explain it to me?"

"Betty is not a natural spirit, but an artificial spirit. The one who created Betty is the Greedy Witch Echidna. In fact, this forbidden library also belongs to her mother. Betty just signed a contract and is here to guard it. And this Book of Wisdom can know everything about the past and future of the world. Betty and Roswaal each have a copy."

"oh……"

So that book is similar to the Confessions?

"so what?"

"In the contract that Betty and her mother signed, it was agreed that Betty would guard the Forbidden Library on behalf of her mother until a certain person came, and pass on the knowledge in the Forbidden Library to him. When that person came, Betty's prophecy book would react."

"So you're telling me this because no one is reacting now?"

"That's right."

Beatrice nodded slightly.

"It's been four hundred years. Betty has been waiting in the Forbidden Library for four hundred years. Frankly speaking, for Betty, it's long enough. But, until now, Betty has not waited for the person her mother mentioned..."

"What about Maine and Mailu? Are they not good enough?"

Fang Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously. You know, Myne loves books the most and is also the most fascinated by the Forbidden Library. And Mai Lu has half the average ability of the ancient dragons in this world. More importantly, these two people are time travelers. To put it bluntly, in Fang Zheng's opinion, they both have the aura of the protagonist...

"no."

Beatrice shook her head again.

"To be honest, the reason why Betty agreed to you was because she hoped to find a glimmer of hope... Betty knows that you have a way to easily and quickly find the whereabouts of Betty's brother, so Betty also hopes that you can help Betty find that person."

"Um……"

After listening to Beatrice's request, Fang Zheng frowned and began to think.

"I have a question."

"What's the question?"

"You and your mother - the Greedy Witch - agreed to wait here, right? There is no time limit?"

"Yes."

"But there is a problem. This place has always been inhabited by the Roswaal family, and not everyone can open the door. So you have been waiting for four hundred years... You asked me to find someone without any characteristics... At least your brother can give me a name."

"Really..."

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Beatrice lowered her head with a somewhat depressed expression. Her face, which usually looked extremely cold, now showed a bit of sadness. Seeing Beatrice like this, Fang Zheng's heart was moved.

"But speaking of which... maybe I'm the one you're waiting for, hahaha."

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Beatrice rolled her eyes in displeasure.

"My mother once told me that when that person comes, Betty's gospel will have a reaction."

"But isn't no reaction also a reaction? And if it were me, it's normal that your gospel wouldn't have any reaction, because you can't find out anything about me."

Fang Zheng seemed very calm. After all, he held the Annunciation in his hand, and he was also a time dragon and a prophecy mage. A prophecy mage could not predict other prophecy mages, and a time dragon was outside the timeline. It could be said that from the perspective of time, Fang Zheng was here and not here, visible and invisible. Although he didn't know what the hell the Gospel in Beatrice's hand was, Fang Zheng didn't believe it could be stronger than the Annunciation.

"What nonsense..."

Beatrice snorted softly, then opened the Gospel, and after a moment, her eyes widened in surprise.

"How is this possible? There really is nothing..."

Beatrice was stunned for a moment as she looked at the smooth pages in front of her. This Gospel was a replica given to her by Echidna, which could show the future of the holder. Of course, this was a bit like seeing the diary written by one's future self in advance. But what surprised Beatrice was that when she wanted to look for content related to Fang Zheng on the pages of the book, she could not see anything!

It's as if he doesn't exist at all!

"Well, this is also a possibility. Think about it slowly."

Fang Zheng reached out and touched Beatrice's head, then went out while stroking the kitten and humming a song. Only Beatrice remained in the library, looking at the "Gospel" in front of her with doubt and amazement.

Could it be... that it was really him?
