Faced with the request made by his master, Reinhardt rarely responded immediately.

Instead, he fell into silence.

"What's wrong?" Shen He turned around.

Knights are different from loyal slaves. Providing suggestions is also one of the duties of knights.

"Lord Roswaal's magic attainments are the strongest in the kingdom." Reinhardt looked ashamed, "I can't see through his true strength. Even if I sneak attack, I may not be able to kill him with one blow."

"Is that so..." Shen He understood.

Although Reinhard is strong, this strength is largely based on invincible protection and tenacious will.

In other words.

Lai Aotian is the type who can easily find a way to deal with the enemy no matter how strong he is, and then crush him with superior skills, instead of ending the battle with one sword from the beginning.

Saiki Kusuo seems to be this type.

People with such powerful strength and kind hearts have always been too self-restrained, responding to the enemy's strength and weakness, and easily unwilling to use their full strength.

"If we can't kill him in one breath, it will be a bit troublesome." Shen He's brows have already frowned.

If he were allowed to run away, he would certainly become alert, and who knows how much trouble he would cause.

"My Lord, since Roswaal really has other purposes, why don't you expose him face to face?" Reinhard asked.

"I don't know his purpose, and..." Shen He shook his head, and then told Reinhard about Ram.

Shen He is not afraid of anyone no matter how strong he is.

But after all, it is true that he saved Rem and Ram's lives. This is just like those excellent relatives in soap operas. They know that he is a bad guy, but they can't stand Rem and Ram's normal moral standards and know how to be grateful.

Not to mention, judging from the situation in the animation alone, Ram seems a bit loyal.

"So that's the case... My Lord, I think Miss Ram should know all this." Reinhard said seriously, "If Miss Ram chooses to continue to follow after seeing Roswaal's true face, it is her own choice."

"..." Shen He didn't know how to respond.

"Perhaps, my Lord, you can ask Miss Rem's opinion." Reinhard spoke again.

This time he went straight to the point.

Shen He didn't care what would happen to Ram, he only cared about Rem, and Rem cared about Ram. He

thought quickly in his mind.

Maybe he could really ask Rem's opinion. After all, it was a fait accompli that Roswaal had threatened Rem's life several times. It would depend on whether Ram cared more about Rem, her sister, or Roswaal, her master.

"I'll take care of this matter, Reinhardt. I won't go to Crusch. You can instruct her on the rest."

"But..."

Reinhard was obviously surprised, but he was interrupted by Shen He as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No buts." Shen He smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself. Just the things you have learned are more than enough to completely change this country. As for your shortcomings, I believe Crusch will have his own judgment. After all, she will be the king of this kingdom."

"...Yes."

Reinhard finally bowed his head and accepted the order.

He also understood that Shen He would not stay here forever, and the growth of Crusch was also crucial.

After escorting the Master out of the capital, Reinhard walked straight to the Karlsten family without hiding his appearance. Such a scene was naturally seen by many people.

The rumor that the Kingdom Sword Saint was suspected of recognizing Crusch as his master became more and more true.

Crusch's sharp words and deeds during this period have made many people feel pressured. If there is really another Kingdom Sword Saint, it is definitely not a good thing for some people.

Reinhard has always ignored all kinds of suspicions from the outside world.

After he came to the Karlsten family, he met Crusch as soon as possible.

"Isn't the Great Sage here?"

Crusch felt a little disappointed when he saw that only Reinhard was alone.

After this period of contact, she has completely regarded Shen He as another teacher of hers, and even dubbed him the "Great Sage".

"My Lord has other things to do." Reinhardt had already declared his relationship with Shen He. "Everything can proceed according to the plan. Lord Crusch, have you found any news about the Witch Cult during this period?"

Although Shen He did not deliberately explain, after knowing that the Witch Cult had targeted one of the candidates for the king, it was difficult for Reinhardt to completely ignore it.

"Yes." Crusch's face also became serious. "In the north of the kingdom, half of the people in the village were massacred. It fits the style of those people. I was about to tell the Great Sage about this."

"Half a village..."

Reinhard pursed his lips, obviously angry.

Crusch thought more deeply, "I'm worried that they will interfere with the conquest of the White Whale. It would be best to eliminate the Witch Cult first before the conquest."

"My Lord has already ordered this." Reinhard shook his head, "Leave the Witch Cult to them. With my Lord's strength, there will be no danger."

"So..." Crusch was obviously stunned. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Reinhard, who is the Great Sage...? Such wisdom and strength cannot be unknown."

She now knows that Shen He is the Great Sage that Reinhard exchanged for his freedom and loyalty, with the purpose of guiding the kingdom to true prosperity.

However, it is still hard to imagine how such a person can exist in the world.

It even makes her feel that the difficulties faced by the kingdom are just like children's entertainment to Shen He. The strength of the dragon has never been taken to heart, and the Witch Cult is also, as if everything is under control.

"Since my Lord didn't tell you, I can't say much." Reinhard looked apologetic.

“No problem.”

Although Crusch was a little disappointed, he didn’t ask any further questions.

During this time, Shen He taught her a lot of knowledge that would benefit the country and the people. With these alone, she admired Shen He very much, but she also understood that she had not been recognized by the Great Sage.

Rather than saying that Shen He chose her,

it is better to say that it is because the other candidates are not as good as her, and it is just a matter of picking the best from the worst.

Seeing that Crusch had no other questions, Reinhard also began to ask about the business, "Lord Crusch, I came here this time to learn about the employment plan for civilian mercenaries..."

Dongdongdong.

But just as they started, the door of the reception room was suddenly knocked a few times, and then Wilhelm pushed the door in.

"Master, the Border Earl is visiting."

"Border Earl?" Crusch exclaimed.

She didn't know the true face of Roswaal, but the Border Earl was a supporter of another king candidate Emilia, and should be in competition with her.

At this time, he suddenly came up, and I don't know what it was.

Crusch made guesses in his mind, then apologized to Reinhard and turned away.

Wilhelm didn't even look at his grandson, and followed behind Crusch.

Reinhard looked at his grandfather's back as he left, with a rare sadness in his eyes.

The grandfather and grandson were estranged, and almost turned against each other.

All because he indirectly killed his grandmother fourteen years ago.

This heavy responsibility is destined for him to never escape.

On the other side, Crusch also saw Roswaal who had been waiting for a long time. He was wearing the same clown makeup as always, and his behavior was weird, without the manners of a count.

"I wonder what the count wants to see me about?" Crusch asked straight to the point.

"Oh, what impolite words." Roswaal used his operatic emphasis, and the corners of the clown's mouth cracked upwards, "But I really have something important to do, about the conquest of the white whale."

"Conquest of the white whale? It should have been decided by now."

Crusch was a little puzzled.

After her propaganda campaign, the crusade against the White Whale has become the most important event in the Grunica Kingdom. In order to compete for the glory and prestige, the four king candidates have established a unified alliance.

Roswaal from Emilia's side will also participate in person.

Does that mean Roswaal plans to withdraw?

Crusch looked at Roswaal in front of him and judged that the Protection of Lies has been fully activated.

"No, no, no, it's just confirmed that we will participate, and we haven't discussed the specific method." Roswaal raised a finger and put it to his mouth, "I just found out recently that except for Emilia from our family, the candidates from your three families are all ready to go to the battlefield in person. Are you planning to exclude us so easily?"

Is it because of this matter?

Crusch did not see any trace of lying on Roswaal.

He was relieved.

"I have no such intention." Crusch said solemnly, "The crusade against the White Whale is an opportunity for us king candidates to show ourselves. We should compete fairly and will never have any prejudice against Emilia."

"In that case." Roswaal narrowed his eyes contentedly, "Then our Emilia will also participate in person, and... we have a secret weapon, which will definitely play an unexpected role..."

Just as Roswaal and Crusch were discussing, Shen He had already arrived at the mansion of the Border Earl.

And he heard a surprising news.

"Emilia, you are also going to participate in the crusade against the White Whale?"

"Yes." Emilia nodded, "Because Roswaal said that this can establish my prestige and image in the hearts of the people."

"..." Shen He didn't know what to say.

Although this plot change is reasonable, if even Emilia goes to the battlefield, what if the Witch Cult finds the wrong place.

Moreover, this was proposed by Roswaal.

He shouldn't do meaningless things.

"Don't worry." Natsuki Subaru next to him patted Shen He's shoulder like a familiar person, pointed his thumb at himself, and said excitedly, "Because I will definitely protect Emilia-chan."

"You——!?"

This time Shen He was really shocked.

Emilia probably wouldn't agree.

With the strength shown by Natsuki Subaru, it would be too dangerous to participate in the conquest of the White Whale.

"That's right." Natsuki Subaru looked complacent, "Roswaal said I was a secret weapon, and I can definitely help Emilia this time."

"Secret weapon..." Shen He narrowed his eyes slightly.     Could it be that Roswaal knew about Natsuki Subaru's ability to rewind his death?     No, it's impossible. According to the situation in the animation, anyone who knows Natsuki Subaru's ability will attract the poisonous hand of the witch of jealousy.

Judging     from some of the information revealed in the barrage, it may even directly crush Natsuki Subaru's heart.     And to activate this ability, there is no need to let Natsuki Subaru go to the battlefield. Just let Ram keep an eye on him and kill him when there is bad news.     "Roswaal said that Natsuki Subaru seems to have a fatal attraction to magic beasts." Emilia bit her lower lip lightly, "I would never agree to it, but Natsuki Subaru..."     "It doesn't matter." Natsuki Subaru waved his hand, "As long as I can help Emilia, anything is fine. It's better to say that I'm so excited when I think about being able to show off in front of Emilia-chan."     "Really, I just found you a job, there's no need to be so grateful... Natsuki Subaru is really a person who is easily at a disadvantage." Emilia looked a little helpless.     Shen He has roughly figured it out.     Roswaal didn't know why he knew that Natsuki Subaru could attract magic beasts, and proposed to take him to participate in this great expedition.     Then Natsuki Subaru fully demonstrated his fearless spirit of being able to do anything for the girl he liked, and agreed without hesitation.

This means...

Roswaal definitely knows about Natsuki Subaru's peculiarity!

Shen He has already made this guess. Although he may not know the specific ability of death reversal, he must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have gone to the trouble of bringing Natsuki Subaru to participate in the expedition.

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure it out, because the plot information revealed in the animation was too little.

Forget it.

Shen He has made up his mind.

This time, pull all the combat servants who have free time!

No matter what kind of conspiracy Roswaal has, they are just paper tigers in front of absolute power!

"Rem, I have something to tell you."

Shen He directly pulled Rem up and walked towards a room, but opened the door and came to Beatrice's forbidden library.

"Betty, can I borrow your place?"

"Whatever." Beatrice, who was sitting on the bench, just raised her eyes and glanced at them, then lowered her head again, "But, if you do something that offends Betty's eyes and ears, Betty will go to Jeanne to complain."

"What the hell is going on." Shen He was very upset, "Rem, please don't cover your chest, okay? I've already said I have something to say."

"Yeah, yeah."

Rem nodded hesitantly, but her little hand was still covering her chest, her face was flushed, and she looked extremely panicked.

"Huh."

Shen He had to adjust his breathing, otherwise he would almost forget what he was going to say.

"Anyway, Rem, how much do you know about your master, Roswaal?"

"Master?" Rem was stunned.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'll tell you straight, Rem." Shen He stared at Rem's gaze, "Roswaal seems to have tried to kill you."
