Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

His eyes were cold and resolute, as if this was the direction of his will.

After doing all this, Domi turned and left: "Let's go, let's go explore other places. It's a rare opportunity to travel abroad."

"Ah... Oh! Yes, if we don't cherish it now, we'll never have another chance. Tsk tsk, look at the scenery in this foreign land, it's so refreshing!"

You could say Edward is pretending to be stupid and unambitious, but you can't say he doesn't understand the atmosphere. To ease the tension of the scene, he took it upon himself to be part of the atmosphere-building team.

"Coming, coming~"

"Wait for me!"

The others echoed this sentiment, eager to leave this place that evoked so many memories.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. This applies not only to the royal family but also to the Lionheart Empire. If the Lionheart Empire is defeated and its capital is invaded, the enemy will eliminate the royal family and then purge the old nobles.

Those whose fates are not too different belong to this category.

Seeing that everyone was about to walk away, Shia hurried to catch up, but she couldn't stop thinking about the scene just now and what Domi said. For some reason, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

After several hours of exploration, they had explored most of the palace area.

The invaders left behind virtually no gold or silver treasures, but they still found a number of useful documents in the Royal Library.

Perhaps it was because the last king didn't like reading. The knowledge package he transmitted to me didn't contain this knowledge, or rather, most of the knowledge wasn't included. It only contained some general information, probably something I was forced to learn as a child.

Therefore, the ancient books they each possess still have considerable research value, and they are also the tools they decided to use to pass the time in the boring days to come.

Whether it's a classic novel or an engineering explanation, just treat it like a novel and move on.

Just as everyone reached the main gate, intending to leave the palace and find some small animals and fruits to eat in the ancient capital, a strange, transparent, and colorless power suddenly enveloped them!

After a dizzying spin, when they opened their eyes again... they were in their familiar home! The very place where they had disappeared!

"Thank the gods... Young master and young lady, you're finally back!"

The maid who was standing nearby was stunned for a moment when she saw this amazing scene. Then she saw the figures of Domi and the others gradually appear. She was so excited that she could hardly speak.

"Medical team! Medical team, come quickly and check on the situation!"

It turns out that after they disappeared, Carlos kept the news of their disappearance a secret and sent maids to monitor the place day and night in shifts. He also had the royal physician Galen and his medical team stay here every day, just so that Domi and the others could receive treatment as soon as they returned.

Locke, who was hiding in the shadows, smiled with relief when he saw that Domi was alright. He then quietly left, preparing to report the good news to his superior and the head of the family, Carlos.

Upon their return, they were transferred to the medical ward, each with their own bed.

Galen stood beside Domi, and the two stared at each other for a moment. Galen's speechless expression was reflected in the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Young master, stretch out your hand, let me take your pulse."

"Take off your clothes and check for any wounds..."

"Hmm... a few ribs are slightly fractured, but they will be fine after resting for a while."

"Stick your tongue out..."

"Stick your foot out..."

“Look at the light in my hand…”

"How much is this?"

"six……"

Repeat once.

"Six, six, six!"

"Very good, there is no problem with his mental state, he can still express his feelings, he is healthy."

After checking Domi, he immediately moved on to the next one.

After he finished his examination, Carlos, Grace, and Ivy's mother arrived a while later. They offered words of comfort and concern, and after hearing their story, the two mothers were moved to tears.

They kept saying things like they hadn't protected them well enough.

Domi knew very well that whoever it was had done their best to protect them; it was just that the Chaos Church's attack had gone so far as to use one of Dragon's large clones, making it impossible to defend against.

Most of them were disguised as scapegoats to save their own lives, which shows how much effort was put into them.

However, the Chaos Church members are about to be disappointed, because in the 'random' event, they managed to survive without a single one dying!

After confirming that everything was alright, Domi placed the ancient book he had brought back on the bedside table, jumped off the hospital bed, and walked towards the door.

Unlike Domi, who was full of energy, the others were all exhausted and fell asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.

crunch~

As he opened the door, he saw Kelsey, Catherine, Bobby (his comrade-in-arms) who was standing guard at the door, and even Michelson, who had been cooking in the kitchen just moments before, all gathered at the door, excitedly talking about something.

Since Carlos and the others had not yet come out, they, as servants, naturally could not go in.

But if they don't go in, Domi can come out.

As expected, they always greeted him immediately upon hearing the news of his return, showing that the bond between him and his family was still very strong.

Seeing Domi, still lively and energetic, reappear before them, they finally felt relieved.

A genuine smile radiated from his face:

"Domi, welcome home~"

Chapter 112 111 Night Demon

Thump—thump—thump—

The giant deer's hooves pounded the earth, accompanied by the rhythmic marching of the steel army, as they patrolled the plains bordering the Forest Elf Kingdom and the Demon Realm.

On the giant deer sat a figure as beautiful and powerful as a goddess. She held a crystal longbow, her long golden hair flowed, and her sharp eyes were fixed on the front, alert to any possible threat.

After dozens of battles, large and small, all of which were resounding victories, Aurora's troops had gained tremendous cohesion and their numbers were more than ten times what they used to be, making them a truly invincible force.

The short-sighted adjutant from before has long been replaced by a shrewd woman named Nora, who shares the same vision as her. Their names are almost identical if you pronounce them quickly.

Because of their compatible personalities, Aurora took a liking to the girl at first sight, and Nora's shrewdness and intelligence did not disappoint Aurora's expectations. Together, they won many battles and cooperated well!

Their relationship has been gradually strengthened and deepened, and they are now comrades-in-arms and best friends who can talk about anything.

At this moment, Nora rode up to Aurora on her reindeer: "Sister Aurora, this patrol mission is complete, it's time to go back to camp. Before we left, I specially asked the cook to make some extra meat pies, so we can eat them as soon as we get back to camp!"

Grilled meat pies were her favorite food after arriving in the elven world.

After baking, the aroma of wheat will emanate from the crust of the pie, and the meat filling will be sprinkled with some small leafy pieces for added flavor. With one bite, the aroma of wheat, meat and the freshness of the leafy pieces will be mixed with the oil, repeatedly stimulating her taste buds in her mouth.

In short, it's incredibly addictive.

However, the army cook only prepared food once a week, which became Aurora's biggest motivation to return to camp after each mission.

Nora would sometimes secretly order the chef to prepare a special meal so that Aurora could also have meat pies on a regular basis.

She pretended to scold him and said angrily, "I've told you so many times, Nora, even I can't just give you special treatment. We need to set an example and this shouldn't happen again."

Even when Aurora is angry, she's still beautiful.

Nora stuck out her tongue and chuckled, and the tacit understanding between the two was formed in this back and forth.

"All troops, turn back to camp!"

woo~~~

The melodious bugle call signaled the return home.

However, before they had gone very far, a force was rapidly approaching them. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually an elite force of the demon race!

Their armor was far more exquisite than that of ordinary demons, their bodies were black and purple, and they wore T-shaped helmets with demonic horns that revealed their scarlet eyes.

The magical energy emanating from the leader was even more astonishing, almost at the level of several of their deputy generals!

She is currently the commander, a position she was specially promoted by the chosen one. Above her is the deputy general, then the grand general, and at the very top is the Elf King.

If converted to magician ranks, the deputy general's demon race is equivalent to a high-ranking mage.

Don't be fooled by the fact that high-ranking mages are like this. Aurora, the leader, is only at the level of a formal mage. Her true strength has always been a point of criticism from others.

That's why she has always been active on the flanking battlefields, unlike Merlin, who was recently transferred to the main battlefield.

They weren't strong enough. A single high-level mage could wipe out their entire group of "shrimp soldiers and crab generals," so the generals didn't dare give Aurora too many troops.

They wanted to dissuade her from continuing the fight, but they also didn't want too many soldiers to die at once.

To prevent the chosen one from being targeted, the general gave her a special horn. As long as it was sounded, the nearest general-level expert would immediately come to her aid, which could be considered a personal safety guarantee.

Seeing this, Aurora blew her horn without hesitation.

However, it will take time for the general to arrive, and during this time, the soldiers' lives will have to be sacrificed.

Aurora never dreamed this would happen; it was terrible.

These were her trusted subordinates, whom she considered invaluable fighting forces, and whom she had worked so hard to recruit. Now, however, she was to sacrifice them to protect her...

“Sister Aurora, this person is hostile. You should retreat first, and I will lead the men to delay him…”

"Men, form ranks! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The shield formation was quickly set up, with spearmen weaving through the gaps. The enemy was all cavalry, and this defensive line was the most effective countermeasure.

Unexpectedly, this dark horse team of only a few dozen people teleported together and crossed the defense line, rushing directly into the middle of the rear troops.

Blades slash, spears fall...

Amid screams and splattering blood, her soldiers were rapidly dwindling in number.

Once cavalry charges into the rear ranks, the impact will be devastating!

Aurora couldn't stand idly by. She drew Gungnir, the spear of eternity, and looked at its sharp tip, which was sharp enough to pierce the sky. She recalled what Domi had told her, which seemed to give her courage.

With its legs clamped together, the giant deer charged fearlessly toward the enemy!

In a single exchange, Aurora, with her self-upgraded and mastered spear skills, unhorsed a black-armored demon. Gungnir pierced his chest as easily as tearing paper, piercing his heart. He collapsed to the ground, trembled a few times, and then died.

At this moment, the army's formation also reacted, completely surrounding the enemy troops that had penetrated deep into the territory.

clap clap clap...

The demon leader clapped, and a man's voice came from beneath his helmet:
