People from another world?

Beatrice and Shen He were obviously stunned when they heard this name, but soon, they realized the meaning of this word.

It is the world outside this continent and this starry sky.

Shen He waved his hand, and a castle door as high as a person opened in this forbidden library, revealing the appearance of the castle directly inside.

Everything is self-explanatory.

"So that's it..." Parker flew up from the stool, and his little face revealed a look of sudden enlightenment, "No wonder I always feel that your power is a little wrong, and it is completely different from the characteristics of this world."

"Then, do you want to go to my castle to take a look?" Shen He made an invitation gesture.

"Of course." Parker flew to Beatrice's shoulder.

Beatrice seemed to have reacted only at this time, and her little face was full of disbelief, and of course, there was also a suppressed joy. It makes sense.

It makes

perfect sense. If you leave this world, it is possible that the Book of Wisdom will be blank.

So, "that person" is not here to kill her, but really to take her away?

Beatrice blinked her big eyes, and her eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Shen He.

It was a kind of... embarrassment.

The importance of the contractor to the elves was even greater than herself, but she had never given Shen He a good face. If she really became his elf in the future...

——Ah, I suddenly felt so bad.

Beatrice lowered her head, with obvious regret on her fair face, as if she was hiding it, and hurriedly stepped into the door with Parker with her head down.

As the door closed.

The two elves looked a little dazed.

They felt the deterioration of power.

The magic power still existed, but the connection between the elves and the will of the world was completely cut off. Parker felt this the most deeply, because he could not even detect the existence of Emilia.

You know, the orthodox contract between the elves and the contractors is based on the soul.

"I believe this is another world, open the door quickly." Parker flew to Shen He uneasily, "I don't want to stay in a world without Emilia for a moment."

"Uh..." Shen He was stunned.

Then he quickly opened the door of the castle again, and then Parker flew out alone.

Then only Shen He and Beatrice were left.

Shen He exhaled slowly and stretched out his hand to Beatrice, "So, the problem of the Book of Wisdom has been solved. Are you willing to be my elf?"

"..."

Beatrice's fingers tightly grasped her dress, blushing and a little tangled.

It can be seen that she is in a serious state of vacillation.

"Haha." Shen He laughed lightly twice and couldn't help stroking Beatrice's head, "It's okay, I have enough patience. If you can't make a decision for the time being, then let's slowly get to know each other."

"Well..."

Unexpectedly, Beatrice just responded lightly.

But she didn't have any special reaction to Shen He stroking her hair.

It's true.

Shen He understood in his heart that although he had always put on a cold and even repulsive expression, it was just a self-protection because of the disappointment in the four hundred years of waiting.

So to speak, she has always been sitting on the small bench in front of the door. It is also because of this reason that she can always find the person who opens the door at the first time.

"Hey, hey."

When Shen He was lost in thought, Beatrice called out in a low voice.

Seeing no response, she shook off Shen He's hand angrily.

"You're ignoring Betty before we even have a contract. I protest! If you're like this, Betty won't make a contract with you!"

"Sorry, sorry."

Shen He seemed not to see Beatrice's indignation, but bent down and picked her up.

"You must be tired of staying in that forbidden library. Why don't I take you to visit my castle? Strictly speaking, it's located between the world and the world..."

Beatrice was quite unaccustomed to such overly intimate actions.

However, she twisted uncomfortably and endured it.

After all, if she really wanted to become the spirit of this person, this level of closeness would not be a big deal, and the great spirit Beatrice was in a very complicated mood now.

The seemingly endless wait finally had hope of coming to an end.

It had been four hundred years.

What made Beatrice persevere was "her" words.

[Before 'that person' arrives, you have to guard the Forbidden Library. That is the Forbidden Library and your mission. You are to be the knowledge guardian handed over to 'that person'.]

Beatrice recalled the moment four hundred years ago in her mind. The memory was already blurred, but the hatred, disappointment, anxiety, and fatigue that was almost discouraged in the past four hundred years kept surging into her heart very clearly at this moment.

She looked at the smile on the face of the man next to her and listened to him introduce his residence. The joy just now had long disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by strong emotions.

Even the big tears could not be suppressed and flowed down her cheeks and dripped from her chin onto Shen He's clothes.

"What, what's wrong?" Shen He was a little flustered.

"Why..." Beatrice pursed her lips, bared her teeth, and stared at Shen He. "Why did you show up only now? If you were that person, why did you let Betty wait until now? Do you know how Betty has been spending the past four hundred years? Alone! Always alone!" The

Great Elf now no longer looks like a Great Elf.

She is like a real little girl.

A girl who got lost accidentally.

A girl who was hysterically venting her fear of being lost and lonely, blaming the person who could help her for not showing up earlier.

Shen He did not speak.

No matter what he said, it could not make up for the trauma of four hundred years of imprisonment and loneliness that Beatrice had suffered.

He just held Beatrice in his arms, listened to her venting, and felt her pain.

Suddenly he remembered what Jeanne said to him one night.

"Don't hate all servants, love them and fight together, Master, if it's you, you will definitely be able to do this."

Sure enough -

Shen He sighed deeply in his heart.

It was Jeanne, an orthodox servant, who understood what a real Master should be like.

To regard servants as real relatives means to be happy with their happiness, sad when seeing their sadness, and painful because of their pain.

I don't know how long I cried, Beatrice in my arms seemed to be tired of crying, and buried her head in his clothes without speaking.

After a long while, a deep voice came:

"Hey... why don't you speak."

"There will be plenty of time to talk later." Shen He's fingers gently stroked Beatrice's face, leaving traces of tears. "I can't undo the past, but I can guarantee the future."

"... I haven't promised you yet."

Beatrice shook her hair and wiped her face with Shen He's clothes. At this time, she suddenly became arrogant.

"Yes, yes, what were we talking about just now? By the way, this is the kitchen. We have a super good cook..." Shen He continued to hold Beatrice to visit the castle.

He still had too little contact with Beatrice.

Although he used the forced explanation of the Book of Wisdom to make Beatrice believe that he was "the one" she was waiting for.

But they still needed to get to know each other better. Now he and Beatrice were like an engaged couple. Although they had no objection to each other, they still needed some communication to really get to that point.

Shen He was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the protagonist Natsuki Subaru's mind is now all on Emilia, and she is being watched closely, so there is no way she can interfere with him.

Everything will eventually come to fruition.

After taking Beatrice around the castle, meeting many people, and asking Erina Kiribi to make a lot of delicious pastries, when the travel card was about to expire, Beatrice still proposed to go back.

"Betty can't leave the forbidden library for too long." Beatrice stepped through the door, stood on the other side of the forbidden library, turned around, and asked hesitantly, "Will you... come tomorrow?"

"If you want me to come, then I will come." Shen He smiled and trembled.

"... Humph, come or not."

Beatrice blushed, stretched out her little hand to help Shen He slam the small door of the castle.

Shen He has also discovered it.

Beatrice has the rare characteristic of "becoming more cute when teased", and her shy expression is very cute.

Unfortunately, Violet is less shy.

Shen He couldn't help but compare Beatrice with all the little girls in the castle now. If Hubie and Violet were lovable, then Beatrice was like a lively and happy girl.

However, after signing the contract, if the system still determined that she was not a servant and could not be brought to other worlds...

Shen He thought of this problem and was a little worried, but there was nothing he could do.

If that was the case.

He could only comfort Beatrice to wait in the castle and frequently use the invisible door to take her and Sakura out to play. After all, it would take him less than a hundred years to pass the level setting of this system, so this limitation should not be permanent.

With all kinds of thoughts in mind, Shen He looked at the expiration time of the travel card. Shen He recalled Altria and prepared to have dinner together.

From this day on, for ten consecutive days, almost five primary travel cards were used.

It was equivalent to staying in the world of Re-Zero for 24 hours in one of two days.

Of course, not all the time was spent in the library with Beatrice, and more time was spent with Crusch.

Crusch has already started to prepare for the expedition against the White Whale.

This is definitely a big deal for Grunica.

The most important thing is that because of Shen He's advice, Crusch no longer regards this matter as the responsibility of himself and some people as in the original work, but instead exaggerates it as the responsibility of the entire kingdom through momentum.

Establish authority for yourself, and... seize power.

The Sages are in charge of the country, but they are in peace and avoid danger, and have no interest in conquering the White Whale. In response to this situation, Crusch went to the Sages in person and denounced the so-called sages who raised objections.

With the support of Anastasia's camp and Reinhard, the Sages finally had to compromise and sent the Kingdom Knights to participate in the war.

This is the time to conquer the Kingdom Knights.

It must be said that Crusch does have a strong personal charm.

Shen He went to see it once.

Most of the knights in the entire Grunica Kingdom have one characteristic, that is, they are self-righteous knights, respect the glory of knights, but have nothing to do.

The arrogant nature and boring facts make them fall into a kind of self-degradation.

But Crusch used the expedition against the white whale to rekindle their pride. He

even deliberately emphasized one point.

- This was a battle that the dragon could not help them with, and it was their own glory!

Driven by this glory, or the desire for glory, the entire kingdom was in a boiling state during these ten days. Crusch understood the essence of Shen He's guidance and successfully turned the expedition against the white whale into a major event that everyone in the country participated in.

For this reason, she even stood on the street and gave a speech to promote it.

There seemed to be major events happening in Grunica in the past decade or so, but compared to the civil war in the kingdom more than a decade ago and the current election of the king, the expedition of the white whale, which concerns everyone's vital interests, is naturally more likely to gain people's support.

It can also ignite people's passion.

"It's really amazing."

Shen He came to the imperial capital again, silently observing the changes in people on the street, and sighed in his heart.

He really just mentioned it slightly.

But now Crusch has learned how to mobilize public opinion.

Now in the streets and alleys, from the demi-human mercenaries to farmers and vendors, all are discussing the expedition of the white whale, and Crusch's name is mentioned most.

It can be said that if there is no participation of the dragon, and it is just a normal election, Crusch has won more than half of the victory rate.

Far better than other candidates.

"There are some things that only Lord Crusch can do." Reinhard was standing next to Shen He at this time.

"How long will it take to prepare for the expedition of the white whale?" Shen He asked.

"In ten days, people's will to fight will reach its peak." As a core participant in the plan, Reinhardt understood this information.

"Ten days..." Shen He thought silently.

In the original plot, the third level after Natsuki Subaru passed the second level took place a month later.

The expedition to the White Whale and the attack by the Witch Cult all took place in the same period.

However, it should be different now.

"The Witch Cult is not stupid. The expedition to the White Whale was also the time when the kingdom's power was the most empty." Shen He no longer planned to wait for the plot. "According to the current momentum, Border Count Roswaal will also have to participate in the near-big crusade. This is a great opportunity for the Witch Cult to take action. They will not give up easily. In addition... is there a way to make Roswaal 'sacrifice' in this expedition?"

Shen He didn't know much about the subsequent plot of the Witch Cult.

However, there was no need to know.

Crusch's reputation will reach the top in this king election. Then Jeanne will take him to see Shenlong for negotiation. As long as Crusch ascends the throne, Reinhard's wish will be on the right track. Other hidden dangers will also be solved one by one as much as possible.

Shen He is ready to start the final finishing work.
