"Good morning, Amelia. I'm so happy to be able to see you again. "
Roland's smile was as dazzling as the sun. He was delighted from the bottom of his heart, and his warm embrace. For Amelia, who still didn't have enough self-awareness, this was an irresistible poison. Amelia immediately blushed and didn't even know what she was muttering.
Embrace? That's right, Amelia was currently completely naked, with only a cloak covering her most important parts. She was lying in Roland's embrace.
"Put me down!"
Amelia discovered her current situation, but she still hadn't made any plans to take the next step. This witch, who still had no intentions of marrying, immediately started struggling.
"Don't move!"
Roland's angry roar suddenly scared her. This was the first time that Roland had ever lost his temper at her. Amelia paused in surprise as she watched his face get closer and closer.
"Could it be that he wants to …"
Roland seemed to be looking down at something. Even though he was still filled with astonishment and disbelief as he looked at the familiar face getting closer and closer, her body felt weak, and she couldn't muster any strength.
For some reason, the girl suddenly lost the strength to resist. She could only watch as his face got closer and closer, as well as his hands still doing whatever they wanted on her body.
"… You haven't confessed yet. I'm not that kind of person! At the very least, you should at least confess first and let me prepare myself! I hate that sh * t the most! "
She somehow regained some strength and viciously slapped Roland's face. If she was an ordinary girl, this would only be an act of shyness. However, a certain witch's arm strength had always been a mystery. Her shyness was more than enough to slay a dragon.
"Your body's fine. It's good that you're awake. Hurry up and control those rampaging … Ah!"
Alright then, a certain unlucky fellow who was treated as a pervert was directly slapped away. Only now did Amelia have the time to clearly see what was going on. She also understood what Roland didn't say in time.
"… Since you're awake, stop watching the fun. Hurry up and control those crazy plants that are chasing us!"
The Three Virtues, the giant Roland Treant, the Rose Garden, and everyone else that could run and couldn't run had followed them here. If Amelia had woken up any later, Roland and the others would have been wrapped up like dumplings.
Amelia was the core of this forest. When her consciousness was taken away by Roland, it was the same as having her heart taken away. Naturally, all the magical plants would chase after her with all their might, vowing to take back their main body.
Realizing that she had misunderstood, Amelia wanted to find a hole to hide in. However, Harloys leisurely commented from the side.
"Heroine, you think too much."
Alright, then she realized that her thoughts had been seen through by a third party. Amelia was really trying to dig a hole to bury herself.
Since Roland was sent flying, the cloak that protected Amelia naturally fell to the ground. Currently, Amelia was only an amalgamation of consciousness. Although she was naked, only her upper body existed. Her lower body and waist were made up of rhizomes. There were also bark-like scales all over her body. It was obvious that she wasn't human.
Amelia glanced at Roland in the distance and discovered that it was impossible for him to see her like this. For some reason, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Now that Amelia had woken up, it was time for everything to return to solitude.
The forest was shrinking, turning into numerous tributaries that flowed into the main stream. All the demonized lifeforms returned to seeds and Concepts. Soon, a new body appeared in front of them, and her hair covered the entire ground. The jade-green hair transformed into a grass-green carpet that was absorbing the entire demonized forest.
"Here, put this on."
Heloise helped Amelia put on the white cloak that had fallen off. Amelia didn't mind putting it on too. As for Roland? He had to think of a way to dig himself out of the soil first.
"Why am I always the one who gets hurt?" And when I finally managed to crawl out of the soil, I didn't even get to complain before Amelia rolled her eyes at me and hit me while I was down.
"Serves you right."
"It's all your fault."
…
Although I didn't know what had happened, I had clearly done something good for once. Not only was I chased for half a night after working so hard to clear the dungeon, but I was also beaten up for no reason and even rolled my eyes at.
I kept on feeling like I had accidentally offended someone. Could it be that the will of the universe hated me? That was why I was able to choke on water and fall over on flat ground.
But seeing that Amelia was fine was still quite comforting. After all, it had been so many years, and I didn't really have many acquaintances. There were even fewer acquaintances who didn't have a deep grudge against me … Why was it that the more I thought about it, the more pitiful I felt? I still had friends. Although I hadn't contacted Kaid for many years (Kaid: Did you forget about me long ago?), I still had brothers. Although he had slashed me twice (Adam: Do you intend to remember that for the rest of your life?), I still had family. (Cavendish in the Chaos Abyss: Bro, did you call me?), and I had a girlfriend. (Eliza who was sharpening her sword: Heh heh, I'll be waiting for you to come back.)
Alright then, in order to avoid further stabbing myself in the back, I decided not to give any examples. In this day and age, chuunibyou were the most popular, lone wolves were the best, and only dragons were the best sellers. Friends and whatnot weren't important at all … I really didn't envy those who had many friends. Yep, I had many friends, and I even had quite a few in this entire dimension. For example, Kaid, such as a certain Kaid, such as … such as Beifeng? (System: Are you asking me?)
I unhesitatingly deleted Beifeng's name from my mind as I recalled his new companion that was several hundred meters long. I did my best to bury him in the deepest recesses of my memory. Yep, it was about time for us to return, so the three of us should just leave. Beifeng? Who was that? A native of this world? I had no impression of him at all.
"Aren't you being too heartless? Didn't he just help you this time?"
"I do want to reward him. What do you think of the title of 'Highest Governor of the Mist Alliance's Donglan Principality colony in the Earth Elemental Plane, Chief Military Officer, Translator, Translator, and twenty-seven other positions, including handyman?' I think it's wonderful. He should be quite happy to stay in this world and enjoy life together with his little companions. "
This wasn't purely a joke. The process of war would always determine the future benefits of a region. After sacrificing so much to kill off Ömdiroken, it would be an obvious waste to just turn around and leave, giving the benefits to others.
With the other organizations' bases here as evidence, this seemingly barren Earth Elemental Plane was actually a treasure trove of resources. Many special minerals that would be considered rare treasures in the mortal plane could be found everywhere here. It was just that no one would be willing to lower their heads and pick up rocks, so it would be quite valuable for an organization to set up a base here.
But with the Mage Country's base in Karo as an example, in order to defend against the frightening sandstorms and sandstorms, the city's defensive spell formations had to expend a considerable amount of energy. The soldiers stationed here couldn't be weaklings either, and the Mage Country also had to take care of the dimensional teleportation requirements. In order to set up a medium-sized base here that included gathering, transporting, mining, and military missions, it would require an astronomical amount of resources.
Obviously, neither the Mist Alliance, which was still in the midst of preparations, nor the impoverished Donglan Principality would be able to fork out such a large sum of money. But by the time the Mist Alliance truly needed such resources, the most valuable areas in the Earth Elemental Plane would have already been claimed by others. At that time, it would be incredibly unrealistic for the Mist Alliance to want to occupy even a small portion of the Earth Elemental Plane.
"That's why, Beifeng, your mission is to occupy the Earth Elemental Plane. You don't have to do anything, but it's enough as long as you let others see where you are."
Yep, this was an obvious attempt to occupy the Earth Elemental Plane. As long as Beifeng brought his Sand Worm army over and strolled around the Earth Elemental Plane, making his stance clear, I believed that the other factions wouldn't risk conflict with us to forcefully take over the Earth Elemental Plane.
But while my idea was good, and my plan was feasible, many things would change in the end as long as Beifeng was involved …
Afterwards, I regretted my decision countless times. As expected, I couldn't rely on someone like Beifeng at all. Beifeng hadn't been in the Earth Elemental Plane for very long, and he had already come up with a devious idea to deal with my mission, even causing my reputation to be tarnished.
What did he do? He made countless special signs for his followers and Sand Worms. "The Mist Alliance's Donglan Principality Deputy Governor of the Earth Elemental Plane" was an ancient Sand Worm that was charmed by Beifeng. "The Mist Alliance's Donglan Principality Deputy Governor of the Earth Elemental Plane" was a gigantic earth spider. Then, all sorts of strange creatures were placed under Beifeng's sign. In the end, the entire Earth Elemental Plane became their base, a legendary holy land for evil cults.
And it just so happened that the position of Deputy Governor that I casually mentioned really did have the power to give orders to other creatures. And so, all these strange creatures became members of the Mist Alliance. In the end, when we finally had the strength to open up this Earth Elemental Plane, not only did we have to face the strange gazes of other factions, as if they were looking at aliens, we also had to face even more of our strange allies.
"What? That Sand Worm is my superior? Apart from eating and digging holes, he doesn't think of anything else? "
"There's no helping it. From an administrative standpoint, he's indeed your superior. However, the Sand Worm that we're talking about doesn't exist … Think about it from a different angle. Having a superior like this isn't bad at all. At the very least, he won't randomly order you around. Yep, just think about it seriously. Otherwise, you'll vomit blood in anger just like your predecessor. "
This was actually quite good. At the very least, that Sand Worm was quickly fired due to "competition" for the position. The other Earth Elemental Plane residents were even more diligent than the Earth Elemental Plane's employees. Plus, they were able to adapt to the local environment and were excellent at their work, which really made me speechless.
The final result was that this Earth Elemental Plane became the shared home of both Earth Elemental Plane residents and outsiders. Every year, I even had to prepare an excellent employee trip to the mortal plane for them, which caused even more jokes and trouble. For example, I had to arrange a hot spring and giant brush for mega elemental giants to bathe in, and a salon to enjoy his own skiing trip … If I ever found out which bastard told them all this, I would definitely banish him to this plane to shovel sand for the rest of his life!
The most troublesome part was that a certain Dracon had started spouting nonsense here, leaving behind a religion similar to Buddhism called Great Love. This religion became a malignant tumor that spanned across countless dimensions. As for the founder of this religion, he was constantly on the wanted list. At the same time, this Earth Elemental Plane became the holy land and headquarters of that abnormal evil cult. Countless abnormal creatures would come here on a pilgrimage to exchange "Beifeng's" experiences.
That's right, by that time, "Beifeng" had finally become a forbidden word. As for what exactly he was referring to … cough, cough, it was better not to think too deeply about it.
By the time I became the laughingstock of the Earth Elemental Plane and finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to strangle that damned Dracon to death, he had long since disappeared. As for this fake position of governor? Beifeng had long since forgotten about it. From start to finish, Beifeng had only been in this position for a few days before a new "beauty" appeared and stole all of his attention, causing him to skip work for many years.
Cough, let's not talk about the future for now. At the very least, I was quite satisfied with my decision for now. Apart from this Dracon who was as tenacious as a Martian cockroach, I couldn't think of anyone else more suitable for this mission.
"Get that duck and stop at the place I marked out for you. I don't believe that anyone would dare to touch it. Relax, I've never gone back on my word. If you complete this mission well, you'll receive all the rewards I promised you. Yep, you're now the governor appointed by me. Do your best! "
After I finally dealt with the troublesome Beifeng, I turned my attention to the two people near the teleportation portal. It seemed that they couldn't wait to return to the mortal plane.
"Hurry up and go back. I have a few new research projects that I want to start."
The tall witch had already regained her previous gentle temperament. Under the parasol, she was leisurely reading the cooking manual (Complete Guide to Poisoning), as if she didn't care about anything. However, compared to her previous indifferent temperament, I always felt that there was something extra.
"Is there any point in talking so much to that guy? Do you really think that he'll do as you say? I guarantee that he'll immediately run away as soon as he's tired of the creatures in this plane. "
Alright then, Heloise's opinion was the same as mine, but could a fake loli like you stop eating candy on my neck? Even if you really want to eat candy, don't talk about it while eating; your saliva is dripping onto my head! It's so dirty!
"Let's try everything we can. Right, Kaid, that should be enough to bring it here. There's no need to … "
Alright then, I knew that I didn't say anything. This lolicon old geezer was currently happily looking at the lollipop on his head, as if he was already fascinated by it. His foolish expression and his posture of holding a lollipop in each hand completely destroyed his image as an archmage.
At the very least, the disciples behind him were all covering their faces, not daring to look. Some of them were probably even beginning to wonder if they had entered the wrong school back in the day.
After hesitating for a moment, I gave up on telling him that this fake loli was our famous strict teacher Heloise. Back in the day, Heloise had punished Kaid by making him hang upside down in a public square because he had failed an exam. Not revealing his true identity would leave him with a beautiful memory.
"Cough, why are you being so polite? You actually rushed over to pay me back. I'm already quite happy that you're willing to pay me back thirty thousand gold. How about I give you a discount? It's not easy to carry gold coins, so just give me a gold exchange certificate from the goblin bank …"
"Only three gold coins! Oh, no, not even a single gold coin! You almost tricked me again! I finally remember! You were the one who owed me money back in the day! How did it become me owing you money!? "
"Tsk, you're so stingy. You've woken up the moment you heard about money. Let's just forget about such a small matter."
"… Why didn't you forget? You still have the face to say it? You were like this back in the day as well …"
As we chatted about the present and the past, we couldn't help but laugh out loud. When old friends met, the closer it was to parting, the more they wanted to talk about it. In the end, under Amelia's urging gaze, it was finally time to part ways.
"Right, my term as a teacher is almost over. Come to the Cloud Tower when you have time. There's news from the headquarters. It seems that someone important is looking for you, so it shouldn't be anything bad. The teacher certificate I helped you with is real. Just use the normal method to directly enter the Cloud Tower. "
After saying our goodbyes, I suddenly paused in surprise at the final message that suddenly appeared behind me. However, the teleportation portal had already been activated, so I waved my hand to indicate that I already knew and that there was no need to say anything else.
"Take care, old man. Live for a few more years, and we'll meet again."
I glanced at my companions in the purple teleportation portal. Amelia had long since prepared her luggage, and Heloise had conveniently taken all of Kaid's candies. She was currently enjoying her next target. It seemed that they had long since been itching to go through the teleportation portal.
"Come on, let's go home."
