Unspeakable bubbles

"This...has it taken that long?"

"Master, if we go any faster, the carriage will become very bumpy."

Anne added, "Furthermore, if the owner's vehicle is rushing somewhere, it will arouse unnecessary curiosity among the people in the territory."

"This is so troublesome."

The little girl was a bit upset: "If I had known, Bubble would have come out alone."

"That won't do, Master."

"For a great lord to travel alone would cause all sorts of trouble."

"Hmm, it would be nice to have a carriage that runs very fast but doesn't make you feel rushed."

The little girl rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment: "Some small animals run without making a sound. Maybe they could pull a horse-drawn carriage."

"It runs without making a sound... Is it a feline?"

"No, it's a dark, shadowy creature."

"Shadow creature?"

Annie was wondering where to get some shadow creatures to try when Bubble said with a smile, "Let's wait until the lizardmen's matter is resolved before we talk about it. The little animals are all very busy right now, and Bubble doesn't want to cause them any trouble."

"..."

Anne didn't understand what the little girl meant at first, so she remained silent.

'It seems that Master has encountered many things while Annie was away.'

“Master, take a look at this if you’re bored.” Annie pulled out a stack of newspapers.

Let me see.

The little girl flipped through a few pages and suddenly showed an enthusiastic expression.

"Ah, Victoria Detective has a new series!"

"The old 'Victoria and the Aliens' is over, now it's 'Victoria and the Evil Wizard'!"

Seeing this, Annie smiled.

The master liked the stories of Victoria Detective, a fact he himself had heard from Miss Joan.

'Since the master is so pleased, it seems we should give Miss Qiong a return gift.'

With something to do, Bubble suddenly felt that time was flying by.

Before she could finish reading the latest part of the serialized story, she heard Annie say softly, "Master, we've arrived."

"kindness"

Reluctantly putting down the newspaper, the little girl refused Anne's help and jumped off the carriage.

Carmen!

Bubble spotted Carmen smiling at a glance and ran over happily.

"It's been a long time."

"Your Majesty, when did you return? Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"

Carmen looked the little girl up and down and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's academy life must be very enjoyable."

"Yes, Bubble likes Laplace Academy the most."

"Carmen, Carmen, did you know? Bubble's school has flown up to the sky!"

"Oh?"

The young girl casually chatted with Carmen about the academy, and everyone's expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

This 'Running Captain' is truly favored by the adults!

"By the way, Carmen, I heard you're fighting bandits?"

"Yes."

Carmen nodded: "I want to collect some data. After all, there's a saying that still makes a lot of sense."

"What?"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Carmen smiled knowingly as she said this.

All his intelligence about humanity comes from his own memories. But times have changed, and so much time has passed that much of his intelligence is bound to be inaccurate.

Now that things are better, having led humanity in several battles against another group of humans, I have a better understanding of the situation.

"Captain Carmen, so much time has passed, I imagine you've gathered quite a bit of intelligence on those bandits by now, haven't you?"

"If I may ask, when exactly will you succeed in suppressing the bandits?"

"...Who are you?"

Carmen was somewhat bewildered as she stared at the black-haired beauty who had suddenly interrupted and seemed to harbor great hostility towards her.

"She's ever-changing, she's a thousand-faced person."

"Oh, it's you, Lord Qianbian. You look so different now, I didn't recognize you at all."

So it was her. No wonder.

"Suppressing bandits is secondary; my objective has already been achieved."

Carmen casually remarked, "Your Viper Army can deal with those bandits on the mountain when you have some free time."

"what?"

Qianbian stared at him in disbelief, never expecting that this guy would dare to be so shameless even with the Commander-in-Chief in charge.

“Every soldier in the Viper Army has important duties to fulfill, and they probably won’t have time to deal with those petty bandits.”

"I see. Then I'll put in some effort tonight to deal with them myself."

"Captain Carmen, remember what you said."

Qianbian coldly said, "Please, please, don't disappoint the Earl."

"Don't worry, they're just a bunch of small fry."

'hehe'

Qianbian sneered inwardly, too lazy to waste any more words with this man.

"Carmen, do you now know your enemy and yourself?"

"Hmm, Your Majesty, I feel that one more war is needed."

Carmen's smile faded: "The bones and their kind must fight against the most elite human legion."

"You mean, the legendary legion?"

"That's right, I have a plan."

Carmen glanced at the people around the little girl and didn't continue speaking.

"Carmen, you've become much more mature."

The little girl looked very pleased. She remembered that Carmen used to just talk about how the skeleton army could wipe out everything, and she would never think of testing other people's strength.

"..."

"I privately asked Lord Krov to help me gather some intelligence, and I roughly know where he is now and what he is doing."

"Oh?"

The little girl's braids trembled: "What is he doing?"

"That guy is helping the heir of a large family seize power, but he's still a ways from completely succeeding."

Carmen said gravely, "He's very good at that kind of thing, but after all this time, he still hasn't completely succeeded."

"..."

"Your Majesty, perhaps, maybe, perhaps I have underestimated the people of this era."

Section 486, Chapter 485: Family Interests

After saying this, Carmen seemed to realize that it might weaken the morale of the Skeleton Legion.

He quickly added, "Oh, of course, maybe I'm overthinking it."

"Perhaps people of this era are just good at intrigue and trickery, but completely inept at fighting."

Upon hearing this, Krov's expression immediately turned strange.

If an old man with a white beard were to speak in Carmen's tone, he wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

But Carmen is a young woman!

One person from this era after another, it's just so incredibly jarring!

"Krov"

Upon hearing the little girl call his name, Krov immediately replied, "Yes!"

"Haven't you been feeling a lot of confusion lately? Take this opportunity to ask Carmen about it."

"what?"

Krov finally realized that the commander-in-chief had brought him to Carmen so that he could ask him for advice?

"Feeling lost? Who isn't feeling lost during their youth!"

Carmen glanced at Krov and said with a smile, "Don't be shy, Krov, you've helped me a lot. If you have any questions, feel free to ask your mentor."

"Well, this is a very important matter, let's talk about it in the carriage."

"Commander-in-Chief?" Krov asked, looking at Bubble.

"The carriage is nice; it's spacious inside, so everyone can sit down and chat at their leisure."
