Chapter 527

In the end, this farce came to an end with Caroline's words.

"I don't care about anything else. I just want to tell you, don't let this happen a second time."

Caroline said these words expressionlessly. Her gaze fell on Shien and Jenom.

Evidently, no matter how Shien tried to shift the blame or how Jenom tried to quibble, Caroline still believed that the matter was between the two of them and not just one of them.

"Are you really a teacher?"

Shien couldn't even be bothered to complain.

Since he didn't know whose fault it was, he would just blame both of them. Wasn't this just a teacher's trick?

Caroline didn't pay any attention to Sean. After leaving him with this sentence, she wanted to leave with Genom in tow.

Jenom naturally wasn't willing.

"Merica! My Merica! "

Jenom struggled to his feet. He seemed ready to go on a strike and take Merica away.

Unfortunately, this girl was no match for Caroline, an expert close to the legendary rank.

"You still have one street to clean up," Caroline said mercilessly. "Before it's done, you're not allowed to go anywhere."

"How … How could it be like this?!" Jenom's eyes widened. "Doesn't that mean we have to let that detestable guy continue to be alone with Merica? I don't want to! "

"Oh?" Caroline narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "In other words, you're not going to take responsibility for the trouble you caused?"

"I … I didn't say that …" Jenom's voice became softer. It seemed that he still had some idea of what he had done. This was the only thing he didn't want to compromise on. He shouted, "At least let Merica stay, let her be with me!"

This was Jenom's only compromise.

However, before Caroline could say anything, Shien spoke up.

"That won't do." Shien said straightforwardly, "I'm going to take Merica to see the elven queen. I won't let her stay here."

As soon as he said this, everyone, including the elven division, looked over.

"Take Merica to see the queen?"

Jenom was startled.

"What? Is something the matter? "

Caroline frowned, her expression turning serious.

Although Caroline had indeed said that Shien and the others could go to the queen's palace to see the elven queen at any time, it seemed that Shien didn't just want to see her.

This was the truth.

"There's something wrong with Merica's body." Sean had no intention of hiding anything, and explained in the simplest way, "So, I have to bring her to the Elf Queen to see if she has any clues."

"Situation?" Caroline was momentarily silent.

"What?!" Genom, on the other hand, was startled. Immediately afterwards, he summoned strength from who knew where and broke free from Caroline's restraints. He scuttled over to Merica's side and said anxiously, "What's wrong? "Are you unwell? Did that hateful non-human male do something to you? Let me examine you! "

Without waiting for Merica's response, Genom began to act.

"Jenom" "Jenom"! "Jenom"! I'm fine! Calm down …!

Ah! "Merica cried out in alarm, her face turning red.

"Let me take a look!"

Jenom seemed to have lost control, as if he was really worried. His hands groped all over Merica's body, even reaching into her clothes, causing her to cry out in alarm.

This was a feast for the eyes. If there were any other men here, they would probably be drooling.

Shien merely glanced at her, then calmly withdrew his gaze, without the slightest reluctance to part with her.

This made the elven squad that had been paying attention to Shien look at him in a different light.

"This man seems to be a little different from the other men …"

"Yes, he only took a glance at Merica's side and then stopped looking."

"He seems to be a very gentlemanly person."

"If it were any other man, there's no way they could be as calm as him."

The girls of the elven squad whispered among themselves, as if their impression of Shien had improved quite a bit.

Even Caroline seemed to have a whole new level of respect for Shien. She gave him a deep look.

If Shien had a system that could detect favorability, he would probably be receiving notifications saying "XXX favorability + 1", right?

That made the group of elven maidens let down their guard against Sean.

But how could these girls know?

This beast standing before them wasn't looking sideways because he was a gentleman, but because he had already seen everything he needed to see. He had even kissed and touched all the things he should and shouldn't have done. That was why he was so calm.

If it had been another beautiful girl who was showing off like this in front of him, Sean would not have looked away. He would not have found a chair to sit down and enjoy the show while eating the melon. That would have been good enough.

At this moment, the silent Caroline spoke up.

"Is it because of Merica's magic?"

The vice-leader of the Elven Division actually revealed the reason behind it.

"You know?"

Shien raised his eyebrows.

"You can say that." Caroline's expression didn't change. "Merica was brought up by me. I know her abilities and potential better than anyone else."

Under these circumstances, others might think that Merica's astonishing growth was because she had gone out to train for two years, but Caroline didn't think so.

This was because she was very clear about Merica's potential and talent. She knew that it was impossible for Merica to grow this much in a short two years.

Since that was the case, it proved that there was more to this matter.

On top of that …

"Actually, some of the elven squad members who came into contact with Merica reported that there was an abnormal flow of magic around her."

Caroline brought up such a matter.

"There seems to be something in Merica's body that is affecting the magic around her, causing it to change its direction."

Shien wasn't surprised by Caroline's words.

He had discovered this long before he had even arrived at the royal capital.

There was an abnormal flow of mana in Melica's surroundings, as if it was being attracted to Melica.

Shien had long since sensed this, but he just didn't know the reason.

Previously, Shien had suspected that this was a phenomenon caused by the elves themselves.

But now it seemed that it wasn't the case.

At the very least, this wasn't something that happened to every elf.

Otherwise, Merica wouldn't have been so uneasy, and Caroline wouldn't have said such a thing.

"Could it be that the Elven Queen has discovered this too?"

Shien asked tentatively.

"I'm not sure." Caroline shook her head. "But I feel that the Elven Queen should have discovered something."

Even some of the elves here had discovered this abnormality, let alone the Elven Queen who had been using the power of the Queen's Palace to monitor the situation of the elven homeland.

Hence, the Sidhe Queen would definitely have noticed something amiss.

"Alright." Shien nodded, expressing his understanding as he said, "Then I'll take Merica to see the Elven Queen."

"I'll take you there." Caroline thought for a moment, then said, "The Queen seems to be quite concerned about your matters, it's not a bad idea for you to pay her a visit earlier."

As soon as he finished speaking, Genom immediately raised his hand.

"I'll go too!"

The young elven girl expressed in a loud voice, tugging at the blushing Merica's clothes. Merica's eyes were brimming with tears.

"Stay here and continue working!"

Caroline glared at Jenom and refused without the slightest bit of mercy.

"Why …!?"

Jenom refused to accept this.

But Caroline was even angrier.

"You still dare to ask why? Why don't you ask yourself why you're doing such a stupid thing? " Caroline finally grabbed Jenom's ear and said resentfully, "Clean up the mess you've created. Only then can you leave, do you hear me?"

"I …" Jenom still wanted to resist, but Caroline twisted his ear, causing him to cry out in pain. "I got it, I got it! I got it! "

Genom's voice finally sounded a little aggrieved.

I just want to be with Merica, why does everyone have to stop me?

We've been inseparable since we were young, and it's been two years. Shouldn't we stick to each other every day?

Why doesn't anyone understand?

You're my clansmen!

Clansmen who can't understand or empathize with others, I might as well …!

"Ugh …"

Sean suddenly shivered. He looked at Jenom, who was leaving with his head lowered, and his eyes widened.

"Mr. Shien? What's wrong? "

Merica had already tidied up her clothes, and her face was still a bit red. She was puzzled when she saw Shien's expression.

"I'm fine." Shien shook his head and murmured, "It's just that I felt some sort of dark aura just now."

This Jenom couldn't have been stimulated to the point of becoming dark, could he?

Shien suspected.

"Ah!"

It was at this moment that Jenom, who had been throwing a tantrum, raised his short staff and cast a fire spell to defrost a treehouse. In the end, because he was in a bad mood and sulking, he accidentally used too much magic. Not only did the treehouse thaw, but it was also set ablaze.

"What are you doing? Jenom! "

Caroline exploded.

"I … I'm sorry!"

Jenom cried out in grief as he frantically rushed over to put out the fire.

"…"

The corner of Shien's mouth twitched as he fell silent.

… You want to become dark with this?

Go wash up and sleep.

… …

Several minutes later, Shien, Merica, and Caroline left Jenom and the elven squad behind and headed for the queen's palace.

The queen's palace was on the tallest tree in the elven homeland. It was easy to see from afar, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find it.

"Roar!"

When Shien and the others arrived at the ancient tree, before the vine bridge could be lowered, a roar came from the tree. A black dragon leaped down from the treetop, flapping its wings and attacking with a gust of wind.

"Miss You Lin!"

Merica called out.

"You're still here?"

Shien couldn't help but laugh.

The black dragon who had come down from the tree was naturally You Lin.

You Lin descended and landed in front of Shien, roaring at Shien as if she were saying, "I've been sleeping up there for a long time," with a smug look on her face.

"Do you really think you can occupy land and become king?"

Sean was amused again. He stretched out his hand and patted You Lin's head. At the same time, he sent some mana to her, making the black dragon who was becoming more and more human-like feel refreshed.

Caroline watched this scene from the side.

"I really don't know where you managed to summon such a black dragon." Caroline sized up You Lin and exclaimed, "Judging from her aura and magic, she's clearly not an ordinary adult dragon. I'm afraid she's a legendary monster famous in the outside world."

"Roar!" You Lin roared, as if she was saying, "Of course."

"Miss You Lin is indeed famous," Merica explained. "Everyone calls her the black dragon of Adol."

"Adol?" Caroline said thoughtfully, "Are you referring to the canyon near the capital where there are many powerful monsters?"

"That's right." Shien rubbed You Lin's head and looked at Caroline. "You know that place?"

"Is it strange?" Caroline replied with a question. "That place is famous to begin with. Although it's much inferior to Tagore's Forest, it's still a paradise for monsters rarely seen in the outside world, right?"

The Adol Canyon could indeed be considered a paradise for monsters. There were many powerful monsters inside, and even the high-ranking adventurer squads in the capital didn't dare enter casually.

But that was also why the old Demons had set their eyes on it and turned it into a place for refining rituals.

"Although I've never been there, I did hear that a dragon had appeared there three hundred years ago when I went out to train." Caroline glanced at You Lin. "Could that be it?"

"That should be the case." Shien shrugged. "You Lin ruled the Adol Canyon for several hundred years before coming to my side. It just so happens to coincide with the time you left."

"That's it then." Caroline nodded and got straight to the point. "Let's go see the queen."

Shien and Merica nodded at the same time.

But …

"No need, I'm already down."

A light voice rang out abruptly, causing everyone to raise their heads and look up.

There, Queen Sophie was riding a vine bridge with her two trusted aides, Reya and Nya, down from the tree.

"Queen!"

"Queen!"

Caroline and Merica immediately knelt down.

"Roar!"

You Lin turned her head away in disdain.

"You actually came down on your own?"

Shien was somewhat surprised.

On the other hand, after Sophie came down, she first looked at Merica, then turned her head and looked at Sean.

"Because I know you've come to find me." Sophie laughed. "But I can't answer your questions. Only the existence who knows all of this can answer them."

"The existence who knows all of this?" Shien was startled.

Sophie nodded slightly.

"I'm here to bring you there."

Sophie spoke.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to the temple of the Goddess of Nature."
