Jeluka and I hesitated when we looked at the thick layer of black toner stuck to the inner wall of the basket. If you jump in and out again, you will be dyed at least half black.

The child is also hesitant, because if you continue like this, you have to turn the pulley by yourself. Of course, others will not help you for free. He or she often goes up and down and is used to it. But if there are two more adults inside, the weight will increase immediately.

, whether you have enough strength is indeed a question. It is impossible for the noble adventurer to turn the pulley himself.

Of course, the result of the hesitation was that the three of them no longer had to hesitate. It was just a few thousand meters high. We had even played with the Bear Cannon at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

So, under everyone's dumbfounded gaze, I came to the edge of the cliff, took the next step very naturally as if I were on flat ground, and then fell down.

With a whoosh, this guy Jeluka actually took my arm and hitched a ride.

Unless you are a mage, you can generally fly only when you reach the domain level. Moon Wolf is a bit special. Even if you can't fly, you can ignore any height with your own ability. The same cannot be said for Jeluka. She relies on her own strength to fly.

If you jump down, you will definitely fall into disgrace.

Forget it, since there is an extra oil bottle, I don’t care about adding another one.

After falling several hundred meters, I suddenly jumped out of thin air and emerged from the top of the cliff again, appearing in the sight of the workers who had not yet recovered from their sluggishness. I also saw the thin children who were also looking at me in a daze.

and hugged him.

“Ah…ah wow wow wow————!!!”

Probably, this was the loudest voice he (she) had ever shouted in his or her life. In short, accompanied by this series of screams, the three of them landed without any surprises while the workers below the cliff looked at them with dumbfounded eyes.

What? These guys, each of them looked as if they saw Martians coming. I glanced dissatisfied at the dumbfounded workers around me. They all looked at me like they had seen monsters in an upgraded version, and backed away in panic. This made me even more dissatisfied.

People are unhappy.

Forget it, I lowered my head and glanced at the child who was still clinging to my waist with a big mouth.

"We're already down. Are you okay?"

After shouting five times, he (she) reacted and quickly let go. However, when they were playing pig jumping just now, their legs were already weak from fright. At this time, they betrayed him (her) and jumped.

When she came down, she couldn't stand still and sat down on the ground.

Although it was only a very short moment, I still saw that from those squinted eyes, the excitement of a child when encountering novel things flashed through. Although this mood may not even be noticed by the owner himself,

It really only lasted a short time.

"Hug...sorry."

Seeing a large, obvious black stain on the cloak that had been hugged, the child opened his mouth, lowered his head as he had done something wrong, and issued a stiff and crisp apology from his dry lips.

"It doesn't matter, let's keep walking."

I waved my hand nonchalantly, well, anyway, Jeluka is here to help me wash. What is a personal maid used for? It’s definitely not to follow around and tell dirty jokes, do laundry, cook, warm the bed, etc.

That's my job.

Sorry, there seems to be some strange words mixed in, please ignore them.

As a result, this thought seemed to be seen through, and Jeluka glared angrily from behind.

Led by the child, after walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the foot of a mine. Then, we saw the other person bending down and digging into a small hole less than two meters deep and less than half a meter high.

When we burrowed inside, we felt like a bird returning to its nest, letting out a slight sigh of relief, and then poked out half of its messy head from under the stone, looking at our feet with a humble and timid look, as if to say, look,

This is my home.

"..."

Although I had expected that since I came to such a place, for the sake of convenience, his or her home should be a simple place like a small cave at the foot of the mine.

However, this one is less than two meters deep and half a meter high. It is not even a cave. It looks like a depression formed by digging out a large stone. There is some hay inside, and the only thing is that it is not a cave.

The only household item was a tattered cotton-padded jacket that was as dirty as its owner. This sight still left us stunned.

What is this? Even the doghouse is several times better.

The eyes of the child peeking out from under the stone were evasive, glancing at the feet from time to time. The subconscious fear and rejection of strangers were like giving us an order to expel guests. Okay, I've sent you there, you should go.

.

I stayed for a while, instinctively took a few steps to the side, looked up and down, then took out my long sword, clanged a few times, dug a small hole nearby that looked more like a human habitation, and then gestured this way.

Originally, I thought that the other party would accept this new home with joy. Unexpectedly, when I saw a cave suddenly appeared next to it, he (she) got out in a panic, picked up the rocks and soil just dug out, and even tried to open the entrance of the cave.

Fill it in.

"What's wrong, you don't like it?" I was extremely puzzled.

Shake your head, shake your head.

After hesitating for a while, with panic and fear of rejecting my kindness, he (she) cried and explained.

"It's too big and very cold..."

After a pause, he added hesitantly.

"It's too good...it will be snatched away."

While explaining, after laboriously filling the hole, he (she) got back into his little nest, breathed out a reassuring breath, and looked out again, as if to say, ah, come on, don't cause me any more trouble.

In desperation, Jeluka and I had no choice but to leave.

"Is there no way?"

On the way back, Jeluka, who had been strangely silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.

"Probably not. As those people said, I can protect him for a while, but I can't protect him forever. The best way is to let him have his own power, but looking at that body, I'm afraid that won't work..."

"Let him go to the Mages Guild and do some odd jobs. Even if he has to live in a doghouse there, it will be better than now."

Jeluka stared at me closely, as if to say, you, an alliance elder, can't you do such a small thing?

"It's not that I didn't think of this method, it's just that you didn't see his eyes."

Subconsciously I narrowed my eyes and sighed.

"What those eyes conveyed was a gaze that rejected the whole world. He shut himself in his own world and immersed himself in a person's world. It seemed to have become an instinct. Because of timidity and fear,

He is even a little addicted to such an environment. If we want to help him, at the very least, we must first break down his barrier to the outside world."

Speaking of this, Jeluka also fell silent.

It's not that we are unwilling to continue to help, it's just that our respective identities do not allow Jeluka and I to do so casually. There are more important tasks waiting for us.

"Everyone has his own way of survival. We have done all we can do. The future depends on his own destiny. Be good, don't be sad. At worst, I will sacrifice a little tonight and tell you a few stories to lull you to sleep.

"

I understand Jeluka's mood. The child's situation and personality are somewhat similar to hers. She was also abandoned by her parents, and she was also timid. However, Jeluka was countless times lucky. She met Alto

Liya is valued by Arlandlan.

"Are you going to tell a pornographic story again and molest your maid before going to bed? Speaking of which, when I get up every morning, I find that all the clothes I was wearing have been stripped off and thrown aside, and I have also been stripped naked.

Is His Royal Highness holding him?"

"Don't be so serious, it seems like this is really happening, you stupid maid with dirty jokes!!"

"There's a weird feeling coming from down there."

"Shut up, shut up. If someone hears it and gets misunderstood, I beg you, Lord Jeluka, can you change the subject? How about we talk about the weather today? Why don't we talk about it beforehand?

For example, when I was in the alley, at that critical moment when I was surrounded by those Orric guys, don’t you think my behavior and words I spoke at that time were super cool and majestic?”

"Well, I do have such thoughts. To be honest, I was fascinated by His Highness the Prince at that time. Maybe I need to improve my evaluation a little bit."

"Oh, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, the super cool perverted porn beast prince, what do you think?"

"So small! So insignificant! Don't you think that among those random insulting names, Super Cool seems quite small and pitiful? Super Cool has done nothing wrong, why should you treat it like this? Treat it well.

It sticks out, bastard!!

"So...your highness, the perverted and cool pornographic beast prince."

"Ah...why, although it is indeed prominent, it is so subtle that it makes people uncomfortable."

"Trouble, let's just call him a pervert."

"Hey! Don't omit the most important thing! Don't just leave the irrelevant part of complaining! Do you want to say that my body is actually complaining, you bastard!

"..."

Although I don't know if Jeluka's mood has improved, but at least the atmosphere has returned to the previous pattern - it's still the damn complaints and the ginseng being complained about.

Early the next morning, inside the Simba Hotel, I suddenly felt a jolt in my sleep and rolled over subconsciously. The next moment, a huge hammer was exposed where I had just fallen asleep.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's reflexes are really terrifying. I, Jeluka, am convinced."

Jeluka, holding the murder weapon in her hand, gave me a thumbs up in admiration.

"No, it's just so-so, hahahaha——"

Being praised like this by Jeluka, who rarely praises others, I immediately scratched my head and laughed proudly.

"Do you think you can get away with flattering like this?!!!!"

The next moment, my roaring voice echoed over the entire Simba Hotel.
