"Repairing my sister's horn... can such a thing really be done!?" Rem was excited all of a sudden.

It was her elder sister who lost her horn, not her. Even though this happened only a few years ago, it almost crushed Rem now.

"Just try it, but there is still great hope." Shen He comforted her.

In fact, from Rem's horn state just now, he had already seen that the horn was not the source of strength, but the antenna, the channel for the ghosts to absorb and release their own magic.

Without the horn, Ram is probably always in a weak state.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to repair it, after all, Chaldea still has Doctor Quata here.

However, Shen He will not easily help Ram repair it.

Because of Roswaal.

Ram's loyalty to Roswaal may even be greater than her sisterly love for Rem, and Ram with a repaired horn, even if not as good as Reinhard, is comparable to the strongest sin priests.

Repairing Ram's horn at this time is equivalent to adding help to Roswaal, and it is also causing trouble for himself.

In any case, Shen He has kept this matter in mind.

Rem's body trembled slightly, and she followed Shen He very obediently.

She felt unprecedented joy in her heart.

There was still hope that her sister's horns could be restored, and that talented sister could come back. This was like a ray of sunshine piercing through the dark clouds that had been growing denser in her heart for decades, and the color of her whole person was different.

Shen He naturally noticed the change in Rem.

This was not bad.

He couldn't help but smile a little. Although he couldn't be as selfless as Natsuki Subaru, it was like having a lot of money in hand, so why bother to pursue mutual support and fight together.

Shen He and Rem did not return to the mansion at this moment, but turned around and walked towards the village.

After all, the mansion was safe.

On the contrary, it was not known whether the monsters in the village had been cleared out, and the barrier of the forest had not been repaired.

When they arrived, Jeanne had brought back most of the missing children.

No one was injured.

After all, the enemy's goal was just to use the children to hold them back.

"Are you all here?"

Shen He glanced at the villagers who surrounded Jeanne in the middle to thank her.

"There is another girl." Jeanne was a little worried, "but she doesn't seem to be in the forest."

"Well, that girl is the sorcerer, and she should have escaped from the mansion." Shen He thought about it, waved his hand, and a hover motorcycle appeared in front of him, "Jeanne, you chase after her and try to catch her alive."

"I know, leave it to me." After Jeanne understood what Shen He meant, she looked at the motorcycle expectantly.

Although she was a little afraid of airplanes, there was no problem with ground transportation, which was indeed faster than running.

On the other side, Rem had already appeased the villagers and simply repaired the barrier.

The rest had to wait for Roswaal to come back, and then conduct a comprehensive elimination of the remaining monsters in this forest.

After doing this, she returned to Shen He's side.

Judging from this, Shen He's position in her heart may be higher than Roswaal.

Fortunately, Jeanne has left.

"Since there is nothing to do, I won't go back to the mansion." Shen He said to Rem.

"Guest, are you leaving?" Rem was a little panicked.

Ever since Shen He said that there was hope to repair her sister's horns, Shen He's position in her heart has been completely different.

It's not a feeling of love or something like that.

But there is still a feeling of dependence, or seeing it as a life-saving straw.

"Your sister's horns, there is no time and materials to start repairing for a while." Shen He understood what Rem was panicking about, and simply explained, "I still have my own things to deal with. Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise after everything is over."

"Then..." Rem bit her thin lips and stretched out her little finger, "Pull, hook."

"Okay, hook."

Shen He also stretched out his little finger and gently hooked Rem.

There was a little helplessness in his tone.

But after pulling the hook, Rem's mood seemed to have improved a lot.

This kind of contract that has little contract effect gave her great comfort.

"Then, you go back to the mansion." Shen He saw this and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay." Rem stepped back a few steps, suddenly pulled up the skirt of her maid outfit, and smiled sweetly, "Have a safe trip, my guest."

"..."

Shen He touched his nose, turned his head, and disappeared in an instant.

There was no way.

Rem probably forgot that her clothes had already been torn in the previous battle. It was nothing when they were covered with bloodstains, but now...

cough cough, Jeanne seemed to have returned.

Shen He noticed that Jeanne's breath was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that the sorcerer had not escaped far.

The lights of the hovercraft in the distance kept approaching in the night, and then stopped steadily in front of them. Jeanne, dressed in military uniform, turned over and jumped down with a little girl in her arms.

The painting style was a little wrong...

Shen He looked at this bold posture and excited eyes, and almost thought he saw Hei Zhen.

Fortunately, Jeanne quickly returned to her usual appearance.

"Master, this is the sorcerer." The little girl in Jeanne's hand looked like she had fainted.

"Wake her up." Shen He looked at the little girl.

From the outside, she looked like a girl with brown braids, no more than eleven or twelve years old.

But that was probably not her real age.

A white halo lit up on Jeanne's palm, and soon, the girl gradually opened her eyes.

In just a moment, she understood the situation she was in.

"Name." Shen He held the spear across her neck.

"Meili." Meili did not hesitate too much.

She could feel the murderous intent, and the most important thing was that there were many ways in this world to pry open other people's mouths, even memories.

"Who hired you?" Shen He asked again.

"..."

This time, Meili was silent.

She lost her last bit of luck, but she also understood that once this question was answered, she would lose her value.

"Forget it."

Shen He pretended to have lost his patience, and the spear in his hand shook slightly, and he was about to stab forward.

"It was the border earl Roswaal." Meili knew that there was no way out, and seemed to be worried that Shen He would not believe it, so she quickly added, "He concealed his appearance, but we...we have a way to know his identity, and we have confirmed that he left tonight. I, I can confirm him as a witness."

Most people would never believe that the border earl would hire a killer to attack his residence.

Therefore, Meili thought that the other party might need to keep her as a witness.

This was also her only chance to survive.

"......"

Shen He was silent for a while, then waved his hand and knocked her out.

Throwing her into the dungeon of the castle.

"Could it be Roswaal?" Jeanne was also very surprised, "Why would he do this? Hiring people to attack his own residence."

"Who knows." Shen He shrugged.

Although he had seen such speculations in the barrage when watching animations before, it was only now that it was truly confirmed.

Maybe this information will be useful.

After all, to repair Ram's horn, the premise must be that Roswaal is dead or restricted in the palm of Chaldea's hand.

"Let's go, let's go to the imperial capital." Shen He thought for a while and put the news aside for the time being.

He turned over and sat on the hover motorcycle and patted the back seat.

As a result, Jeanne seemed a little shy and said, "That... Master, can I drive?"

"......"

Shen He silently sat on the back seat himself.

He never knew that Jeanne would like to drive a motorcycle, and she obviously didn't like flying very much.

But at this time, looking at the excited smile on Jeanne's face and the pigtails flying in the wind.

Shen He secretly wrote down this hobby.

Maybe when he has time in the future, he can take Jeanne to the grassland and the sea to try it to his heart's content.

At a motorcycle speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour, they soon arrived at the capital.

In order to avoid trouble, Shen He put away the hovercraft very early, and did not go through the main gate, but sneaked over the wall to enter.

Target, Karsten family.

That's right, it was the green-haired beauty in men's clothing, Crusch Karsten, among the five kings.

This is the most suitable person for Shen He to be the king.

The reason is also very simple, just need to exclude.

Among the five kings.

Emilia has no talent for managing the king, and her governing philosophy is quite naive.

And Firut is even more reckless, but it is difficult to control. If you choose her, you have to coax a child.

As for the arrogant girl Priscilla, the kind of self-confidence that only I can enjoy in heaven and earth, it will be difficult to discuss the correct concept of governing the country.

The last one, Anastasia, a business genius, overlaps with Shen He's abilities.

In order to realize Reinhard's dream, Shen He's help to the kingdom can only be focused on politics, economy, and technology. After all, he is an outsider and cannot stay here for a long time. Therefore, the king must have the courage to promote reforms in the entire kingdom.

The most important point is that

Crusch is the only one among the five candidates who questions the contract with the dragon. She hopes to sever the contract between the kingdom and the dragon, abandon its dependence on the dragon, and build a self-reliant and self-reliant country.

This is exactly what Shen He must do.

Born in worry and die in comfort. A country with no sense of crisis under the protection of the dragon, no matter how prosperous it is, is just a rootless duckweed and a desert building.

With Jeanne, Shen He didn't spend much effort to find the Karsten Mansion, a large family that inherited the emblem of the lion king, the founder of the kingdom.

Shen He didn't climb over the wall, but knocked on the door in a swagger.

He had already sensed the barrier in front of the door.

After waiting for a short time, the door opened from the inside, and an old man in a black suit and with a straight back appeared behind the door.

For others, the first impression might be that of an old gentleman with extremely refined manners.

But for Shen He, the first thing he saw was a sheathed sword.

What a sharp will.

Not only Shen He noticed it, but Joan of Arc also noticed it, which made her take a step forward and stand in front of Shen He.

The sight of the old man in front of him also condensed slightly when he saw Joan of Arc.

A great elf...

People in this world can easily regard Joan of Arc, a heroic spirit composed entirely of magic power, as an elf. In fact, the two do have many similarities.

"I wonder if the guest is visiting late at night. Is there anything important?" A gentle smile was portrayed on the old man's face.

But this is just an ordinary way of hospitality, and Shen He easily noticed the vigilance in those eyes.

"We are Reinhard's close friends." Shen He immediately mentioned Reinhard, and then put forward his purpose, "I hope to meet with the head of the Karlsten family, Crusch Karlsten, to determine whether to support her to become king." "

......"

Even with the old man's cultivation, it was difficult to suppress his surprised expression at this moment.

Reinhard's best friend!

Determine whether he supports the head of the family to become king!

Is this a test from Reinhard, or the intention of these two people?

"Please come in."

The old man still gave the correct response in the shortest time.

Shen He and Jeanne entered the mansion, but their eyes were still on him.

At first glance, he recognized the man's identity.

Wilhelm van Astraea, Reinhard's grandfather, the son-in-law of the Sword Saint Family, the great swordsman known as the "Sword Ghost", now has a tense relationship with Reinhard.

He is also the butler of the Karlsten family and the swordsmanship instructor of Crusch Karlsten.

In the original plot, he seemed to have reconciled with Reinhard.

Should I give it a push?

When Shen He hesitated a little, he was taken to a neat and luxurious room, and a maid immediately served him fragrant tea.

Unlike the border earl's mansion with only two servants, Karsten, as one of the most noble nobles in the Kingdom of Grunica, is quite particular in all aspects. Even from the perspective of Shen He, who is used to the maids in the castle, the service here is impeccable.

But he didn't come in to enjoy it.

His eyes were fixed on the door of the room.

A rather solemn aura was approaching. Even if he had never met, Shen He could roughly guess the identity of the visitor from the aura.

It was Crusch.

With a thought, he directly mobilized the magic power in his body and let it float on the surface. In an instant, the surging pressure penetrated his body.

Crusch outside the door stopped in vain.

She felt it.

An unspeakable feeling of suffocation surged over her body, as if as long as she opened this door, a living dragon would appear in front of her.

Who is inside?

Such a question emerged in her mind.

Even her master, the sword ghost Wilhelm, did not bring her such great pressure.

But the other party should not be an enemy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in through the front door. With such strength, he could just break in directly.

Crusch had his hand on the door, gritted his teeth, and pushed it open.

In an instant, more turbulent pressure came at her, and she couldn't help but take a half step back.

"Master!" Wilhelm, who came at this time, seemed to want to rush up.

"It's okay." Crusch stopped him.

Because she had seen the person inside, a man who looked ordinary, but had the aura of a dragon, sitting upright on the sofa, looking at her with a scrutinizing look.

That look... Ever since she became one of the candidates for the king, many people have looked at her like this.

It was to examine whether she had the ability to become the king.
