Crusch immediately understood what Shen He meant.

The other party did not agree with him.

Before making a decision on whether to support him, it was impossible to tell her everything without reservation. In fact, just knowing these things just now was enough to make her take a big step towards her wish.

But...

although she understood, Crusch was a little anxious now. After all, she had seen part of the road ahead, but could not see all of it.

"Don't know what I need to do?" she asked immediately.

"...I will set up some tests." Shen He also had his own plans. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, "Your strength is too poor. You know, there are some beings in this world who can slaughter an entire country with one person, even Reinhard... The Sword Saint may be able to defeat the enemy, but may not be able to protect you."

Too weak...

Crusch's breathing stagnated.

She studied under the famous sword ghost and possessed the ability of "Wind Protection". After combining her own superb sword skills and magic, she can use the "Hundred People One Tachi" that ignores distance and is even called a "war maiden".

This was the first time that someone used the word "too weak" to describe her in front of her.

However, thinking of the huge pressure just now, which was like facing a dragon, Crusch could only lower his head in shame, speechless.

"So, the first test... White Whale." Shen He said his plan.

"White Whale?"

Hearing this name, Crusch was also stunned.

And the sword demon Wilhelm standing behind her found it even more difficult to keep a calm demeanor, and even almost couldn't control his sword intent.

His wife, Reinhard's grandmother, the previous generation of swordsman, died at the hands of the White Whale.

"Among the three great beasts, I don't need to tell you that the threat of the White Whale to the Kingdom of Grunica is so great." Shen He pointed out the direction of his assessment, "Negotiation, guidance, coordination, and... maximization of interests, I will say it directly, the strength of the White Whale is nothing in my eyes, but what I value more is the ability you have shown in the process of conquering the White Whale."

"White Whale... is it nothing? It's incredible..." Crusch murmured, because her blessing told her that Shen He was not lying when he said this.

He really thought that the White Whale was nothing.

You know, fourteen years ago, the Kingdom of Grunica used all its national strength to carry out a great conquest, but it still failed miserably.

Countless elite strongmen sacrificed, including the wife of the then Sword Saint, Sword Demon Wilhelm.

But even so, the White Whale still received an evaluation of "nothing" from the other party.

If this is true.

Then Shen He is indeed qualified to say that she is "too weak."

"It is my duty to conquer the White Whale." Crusch exhaled.

Now, she can be said to have believed 80% of Shen He's identity and purpose.

The remaining 20% ​​of distrust comes from time.

After all, this is their first meeting, and they had no idea about Shen He before, and had never even heard of such a person.

If Shen He had made other requests, he might have needed to think about it for a while and could not agree to it immediately.

But conquering the white whale...

is something that must be done for Crusch.

"I can provide a little help." Shen He once again showed his sincerity, "No matter when, as long as you are ready, I can point out the address of the white whale for you."

"Is this true?" Crusch's breathing suddenly became rapid.

White whales have always been mysterious and extremely fast. The failure of the great crusade fourteen years ago was largely due to being led by white whales and eventually defeated one by one.

If the address of the white whale can be known in advance, you can make full preparations.

"Of course." Shen He gave a definite reply.

The address and time of the white whale's appearance, these two pieces of information in the original plot were obtained by relying on the death of Natsuki Subaru several times.

But for Shen He, it was easy.

Because of Jeanne d'Arc.

Jeanne's revelation actually guided her to do whatever she wanted to do.

Not only could she follow the target, but she could often be one step ahead of the target.

"Okay, I've said everything I should say." Shen He stood up at this time, "Then, we have other important things to do. If you want to find us, just contact Reinhard directly."

"It's late at night, sir, don't you want to stay overnight?" Crusch didn't expect Shen He to say goodbye so soon.

In fact, because of the large amount of information, she still felt confused and had a lot of things to ask.

But Shen He just waved his hand.

The two figures disappeared directly.

This was with the help of the travel card, returning directly to the sky garden in the Marvel world.

This move naturally made Crusch's pupils shrink suddenly.

"Wilhelm." Crusch muttered with a slightly trembling voice.

"...I didn't find any traces."

Wilhelm's sharp eyes swept across the room, and finally he could only shake his head helplessly.

Protection?

Or other abilities?

Crusch even felt like he was in a dream.

She suddenly remembered what the other party had just said.

There are some beings in this world who can kill an entire country with one person.

The Witch of Envy hundreds of years ago was undoubtedly such a person. If you insist, the dragon that protected the Kingdom of Grunica was also such a being. Could it be that the other party was also...

Crusch shook his head and put aside these meaningless speculations.

"I didn't expect that I had always believed that only by canceling the contract with the dragon could the Kingdom of Grunica be changed, but I was actually prejudiced." Crusch's expression was complicated.

One day, he suddenly realized that his long-held belief was wrong.

It is indeed easy to make people feel discouraged.

Even began to doubt their own abilities.

"But the head of the family also got the right way, didn't he?" Wilhelm said in a calm tone.

"That's right!" Crusch's eyes once again lit up, "But, it's not enough, I still have a lot of questions I don't understand. If the contract with the dragon can be retained, then why are the last two questions all based on the premise of canceling the contract... That person is really an incredible person."

Crusch felt that the shock she received today was only comparable to the day the prince died.

On that day, she was determined to change the Kingdom of Grunica.

But today, she realized her shortcomings in front of this wish.

While Crusch was in a state of excitement, on the other side, Shen He, after returning to the Sky Garden, reviewed what he had done, and put it aside for the time being and went back to his room to rest.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of course to realize Reinhard's wish.

After getting rid of the White Whale and the Witch Cult and gaining enough reputation in the Kingdom of Grunica, he began to use his reputation and the status of the candidate of the Kingdom of Kurush to make the entire kingdom look brand new from top to bottom.

I believe that with Kurush's courage, after judging that some nobles and members of the Sage Council are just borers of the kingdom, he will naturally make drastic changes, and it is also justified.

As for the dragon.

If it appears, we can talk to it if we can, and use force if we can't.

In addition.

Probably only the Beatrice that he wants to bring back is left.

Shen He, who was lying on the bed, thought of this problem and couldn't help turning over, feeling a little melancholy.

There is no clue.

In the animation, Beatrice is different from Rem. There are limited scenes of appearance. He has not read the complete novel, and the few information he learned from the barrage back then.

Although Parker had been persuaded last time and agreed to help, he still felt very empty

when he thought of that poisonous tongue Luoli. "Master... are you thinking about something?" Jeanne sat up next to him.

After being married for more than a year, the Master usually falls asleep quickly. Unless there is something troubling, he will not think about it at night.

Shen He turned over.

The room was still dimly lit. Jeanne, wearing light-colored pajamas, leaned against the head of the bed, looking at him with a little expectation.

"It's not a big deal..."

Shen He simply sat up and told Jeanne that he had a crush on Beatrice and wanted to test the system's reaction to the person who signed the contract on his own initiative.

"Isn't this what the Master is best at?" Jeanne was a little surprised.

"No, it's different."

Shen He shook his head. He naturally knew what Jeanne was worth.

So far, none of the servants who were drawn out have really refused his summons.

There are their own reasons for this, and there are also Shen He's personal advantages.

Because Shen He always recognizes the needs of the other party first, and then uses the mystery of the system to tell his ability to meet the needs of the other party in exchange for the contract.

Not to mention, most of the servants, such as Jeanne, Hubie, Violet, etc., are in a state where they will not refuse him.

"Actually, it's the same." Jeanne smiled, and her soft voice suddenly became firm, "Master, if it's the Holy Grail War, the relationship between the Servant and the Master is actually based on the cooperation of 'wishes'. Protecting the Master's wishes and pursuing their own wishes are the purpose of most Servants coming to the world. I think it's the same here."

"You mean... to find Betty's wish?" Shen He also understood.

He only knew that Beatrice was a legal luoli with a hard mouth and a soft heart, but he didn't know her wish.

Because it was not reflected at all in the animation.

It seems that this should be the reason why he is distressed.

After all, he knows about every servant before.

But if you don't know, you can go and find it.

"I have an idea." Shen He had thought it through. He suddenly looked at Jeanne, "You are an orthodox Servant, but it seems that you don't have any wishes to fulfill."

"Master, ruler is just such a position. How can you be a judge if you have your own wishes?" Jeanne said with a smile, and suddenly came closer and lay comfortably in Shen He's arms, "But now I have a wish." Jeanne

didn't say what her current wish was, but Shen He already understood.

"Ruler is not a position without wishes." Shen He put his hands around Jeanne's slender waist, lay down again, and murmured, "It's just that Jeanne, you are different."

Soon, a subtle and suppressed breathing sound came from the room. After

waking up overnight, Shen He got up early the next day, which was rare.

The validity of the travel card lasted until the evening.

He didn't want to waste it.

This time, he didn't bring Jeanne with him, but came to the world of Re:Zero alone and went straight to the mansion of the Border Earl.

Rem and Ram had cleaned up the battlefield overnight, leaving only a crack that was hundreds of meters long and several meters wide, and a pile of monster corpses.

"Welcome back, guests."

Rem greeted Shen He with a sweet smile the first time she saw him.

Looking at Natsuki Subaru, who was tired all night, Rem opened her eyes wide.

Rem has never smiled at him like this before, so hateful!

"Well, the matter has been resolved. Where is Altria?" Shen He looked around and did not find the figure of King Daimao.

"Lady Altria is practicing swordsmanship in the backyard." Rem immediately led Shen He there, and at the end she did not forget to order, "Natsuki Subaru, remember to clean up this pile of monster corpses."

"Wait, wait, all of these? Am I alone?"

Natsuki Subaru couldn't help shouting from behind, but Rem seemed not to hear it.

Shen He would not say anything more.

After a while, he saw Altria practicing sword in the backyard, and after seeing him, King Daimao also put away his sword and ran over.

"Master." Altria's eyes quickly turned around Shen He, and then looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Are you here to bring me breakfast?"

"......"

Shen He certainly wouldn't say no, and could only honestly take out the cake he had treasured for a long time from the system backpack.

"This, is this the Black Forest Cherry Cake that Erina made for the New Year's Eve dinner!?" Altria stared at the cake in Shen He's hand, her face full of shock, "Too extravagant, what day is today? Erina actually made such a delicacy in the morning!"

"......Do you want it?"

Shen He would not say that he secretly put it into the system space on New Year's Eve, anyway, time stopped there.

"Yes--"

Altria dragged out her voice, stretched out her hand and carefully took the cake, swallowed her saliva, and then ran away.

She wanted to find a safe place to enjoy the food.

Rem, who was standing next to her, watched the whole thing in amazement.

Last night, she had clearly prepared a large amount of midnight snack for Lady Altria, who had saved her sister and Lady Emilia.

"Altria is like this." Shen He smiled, "The more exquisite and delicious the food is, the more she likes it. Okay, take me to see Emilia."

Roswaal hadn't come back yet, so Emilia was the owner of this mansion.

But Shen He only went to meet her.

He expressed his concern, and then accepted a wave of thanks from Emilia and Parker.

Then, he stated his purpose.

"Parker, let's go find Beatrice."
