Guild Boss's Ambition

"No, not really."

I murmured to her as if trying to convince myself: "I've heard that the reason I'm alive now is because I was dead the moment before. Life is a constant process of innovation and change. So, the me of today is no longer the me of the past, and the me of the future will not be the me of today. Dear Heloise, do you think the you of the past is gone?"

After some contemplation, the High Elf replied, "My past self lives in my present self."

"..."

I sighed and said helplessly: "Then maybe we will have one less friend and one more enemy in the future."

She asked sternly, "Who dares to be an enemy of the Lord?"

"You don't need to know for now. Now is not the right time. I haven't thought it through yet."

34. East Gate (Ehard)

(Mener-Ehard)

That evening, our group arrived at the east gate of Mopolis as scheduled.

Considering that Nature's Wrath is a war against foreign races, the military's security measures on guarding against their own people are much more lax than expected. With our assurance, Heloise, who claimed to be a goblin, walked through the guards openly. The whole process went so smoothly that Raftan and I frowned.

Raftan: "I can't believe that this level of security can stop that ghost Boris."

Me: "If we are traitors, this city will probably be destroyed, right?"

Heloise: "That's because I gave them mental suggestion."

!!!

Raftan and I were both shocked and looked at each other.

I held my forehead with my stomach aching and asked, "Why did you use magic on them?"

Heloise replied with a confused look on her face; "You, my Lord, asked me to hide my identity. Is there a problem?"

Raftan smiled bitterly and said, "There is a goblin invention at the east gate that can detect magical reactions—"

Hearing this, Heloise gave a thumbs up and explained, "No problem! The mental suggestion I used is not magic. It is simply taking advantage of the human psychological loopholes. My lords, don't look at me as just an ugly goblin. In fact, in the field of psychology, I have obtained several advanced diplomas and even wrote several internationally renowned papers."

Yes Yes Yes……

Miss Goblin with a high-level diploma...

You are now a war criminal of our Illuminati, did you know that?

However, since we have already sneaked her into the city, there is no need for us to be afraid of this or that.

Under Miss Raftan's surprised gaze, I put one hand on Heloise's shoulder and encouraged her, "Heloise, you did very well. Remember to cover your goblin ears. If anyone wants to touch your ears, just scream "molest" and use the wolf defense technique to deal with him! Do you understand?"

Heloise smiled with joy because she was trusted.

"Yes! Lord Ehard, Heloise will protect this secret with her life!"

"Yes, yes, please be sure to protect your life with your life, big brother Miss Brin."

As soon as I finished speaking, I closed the integrated visor of the helmet again for Heloise, who was craving for something new.

After leading the group through the East City Gate, we continued our journey back to the Adventurer's Guild without stopping. As it was already 7:30 in the evening, during the curfew, the roads in the city were very wide and deserted. Even though nearly 600 adventurers of ours were crammed in at once, there was still no congestion at all.

So we walked back to the stone house under the moonlight.

The old cat man was still guarding the door of the stone house.

The old cat was an indifferent cat. Even when he saw us, a group of 600 people, returning to the guild, he was still concentrating on his paper-cutting art. However, the old man's indifference did not affect our joy of returning triumphantly. The other adventurers who were left in the guild found us immediately and happily spread the news throughout the guild.

Everyone welcomed us who had returned alive with smiles on their faces.

On this night's road to success, our guild probably had the most laughter and tears.

After settling all the adventurers, I asked Hai Lao how to deal with the dead and the injured. After listening to me, he took the initiative to take on this difficult responsibility: "Miss, just go and have a good rest. As for the families of the dead and the disabled, I will make proper arrangements for them according to past practices and will not let them feel humiliated."

I feel at ease when Ebi is handling things.

"Once the war subsides, I want to make some adjustments in this regard. We can discuss this then."

"Okay, Miss."

After agreeing, Ebi sensitively turned his gaze towards Raftan.

There, Heloise was standing next to the paladin, waiting for me.

Hai Lao asked directly: "Who is this woman covering her head and face?"

At this time, there were still many eyes and ears in the guild hall. To prevent anyone from hearing, I simply stretched out my finger and wrote a noun on the back of the old man's hand.

Hai Lao, who recognized this term, immediately changed his expression: "Why?"

So I briefly explained the whole story to the old man.

Finally, he said disapprovingly: "I don't think this is a smart move. However, if you think it is necessary to do this, then I think you must let her meet Bai Ye as soon as possible. The monster will have a way to cover up her smell and characteristics, and can also conduct a security check on her memory."

It seemed that Hai Lao did not want to talk more about the affairs of the high elves. Before I could respond, he nodded to me and left. His face was neither gloomy nor bright, and a bamboo stick made a clattering sound on the ground as he walked.

It is because of this old man with a strange temper that we have to wait for the decisive reinforcement in Luruga Village.

"But... Lightning magic?"

"Could it be him?"

Confused, I raised my hand and called Blanny and Heloise over.

I first introduced Branny to Heloise, and then introduced this high elf to the white-haired girl: "This is Heloise, my new amnesiac. Branny, can you arrange a clean vacant room for her?"

After a moment's thought, Branny replied, "No more rooms available."

Hearing this, Heloise said seriously: "As for the goblins, they can just live in the manger!"

How can a high elf live in a manger? !

I quickly corrected her and said, "Blanny, don't listen to Heloise's nonsense. Her head was struck by lightning, so even if she thinks about it, her words are not very reliable. If there is no vacant room, let her stay in my room."

At this time, Berlani added: "Although there are no empty rooms, it does not mean that all rooms are empty."

The implication was that Blanny didn't think it was necessary for Heloise to live in the same room with me.

But the problem is, apart from Raftan and I, no other adventurer can accept a cruel high elf sleeping next to them! If Heloise doesn't live in my room, is it possible to let her interfere with the two worlds of Raftan and her sisters? No, no, that's unacceptable!

I explained cryptically, "For some special reasons, Heloise cannot live with strangers."

Berlane stared at Heloise and asked, "Sister, are you very close to her?"

At that moment, Heloise was flattered and said, "No, no, no, please don't misunderstand, Miss Berlane. Lord Ehard and I are just ordinary master and servant! As for accommodation, I really only need a simple horse trough. Although the horse manure there is a bit smelly and the eaves are a bit tattered, it shouldn't be fatal."

"Hey! You're going to let a high elf live in a manger?!"

At this moment, a wild little blue suddenly appeared among the three of us, and from her mouth, the true identity of Heloise was revealed in a shocking way! At the moment when her identity was exposed, Heloise quickly put one hand on the throat of little blue, which not only suppressed the girl's ability to speak, but also suppressed her right to breathe fresh air.

She asked coldly, "Sir, do you want to silence me?"

Looking at Xiaolan's frightened eyes, I couldn't help but twitch my mouth, feeling helpless. "Xiaolan is one of us. She can use the True Eye to detect gold-level people and things. By identifying your belongings, it's not difficult for her to figure out your true race. So, are you calling yourself a big goblin? Why are you suddenly reacting to high elves?"

"Isn't High Elves just another name for Big Goblin?"

Heloise slowly released her hands from Xiaolan's neck, a confused expression on her face.

Xiao Lan gasped for breath and pointed at Heloise and asked, "What's wrong with this thing?!"

Berlani said calmly, "Same question, seeking an answer."

I had no choice but to explain the situation again.

After listening to my explanation, Xiao Lan immediately criticized me severely, saying, "No matter what, Sister Meng'er, as the guild leader, you'd better not get too close to a high elf. Otherwise, if her identity is exposed and you sleep with her all day, no matter how eloquent you are, you will not be able to deny the capital crime of harboring a war criminal!"

Berlani also stabbed Xiaolan hard from behind: "Idiot."

I could only smile and admit that I was wrong, and asked, "So what do you think we should do now?"

Faced with this worrying problem, Xiao Lan had a relaxed smile on her face.

"The accommodation issue is naturally taken care of by us poster girls. Why should you worry about it? As long as Lian'er and I move into Bai Ye's room temporarily, won't there be a room available? Besides, the guild has lost a lot of adventurers this time, right? If we take this opportunity to rearrange the accommodation, we can also free up some vacant rooms."

I disagreed and reminded, "I hope that all decisions made by the Stone House will be based on the priority of adventurers. Unlike Heloise, they are a group that has made real contributions and deserve the maximum benefits. We cannot let any of them lose the right to live in a private room just for our own selfish reasons! That is an unfair and unjust act."

Hearing my harsh words, Xiao Lan was so irritated that she rolled her eyes.

"That's why I said I would move into Bai Ye's room with Lian Er! Miss Knight with mysophobia!"

Britney immediately followed suit and made a scathing attack with classic dialogue.

"The Knight King does not understand the human heart."

I can only raise my hands in surrender and cry out in grievance—

"I've already put on black stockings under my battle skirt, how else do you want me to boost the morale of the troops?"

Xiao Lan's cheeks immediately turned red and she was in a daze.

Berlane stepped hard on my foot, then grabbed Heloise's arm and strode to the second floor.

"As expected, I am still the poster girl of our family!"

Looking at the two girls in different postures, I smiled with satisfaction and sincerity despite my tiredness.

"Or -"

"Isn't this feeling the justice of war?"

35. Behind the War (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

Our warriors are back.

There were more rectangular black boxes on the return trip.

In addition, Sister Menger also brought an extra high elf home──

Everyone seemed very happy to return victoriously.

There were so many smiles in the stone house that it made me feel chilled, but at the same time, I also felt that it was supposed to be this way.

Yes──

What a happy thing it is to be alive.

Why not laugh?

Thanks to the joint efforts of Blanny and the high elf lady, we successfully completed the task of moving to Bai Ye's room in just fifteen minutes. And because of Isabella's move in, Lian'er has been sleeping on the floor in Blanny's room almost every night recently, just to listen to the old lady's endless fairy tales.

Oh──

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Lian’er often looks afraid of her teacher. In fact, she also likes her teacher very much.

In other words, I haven't found anyone she hates yet.

She seems to be able to like everyone and is a good child with a broad mind.

"Yawn—"

"I've been busy most of the night. I'm so tired."

"Let's go eat a red bean bun first to satisfy our craving for buns."

After finishing most of the mundane affairs, I stretched lazily while walking up to the rooftop on the fourth floor. The rooftop has always been a good place, which often attracted me to come to this quiet place involuntarily. As a result, over a long period of time, I gained a strange nickname of "the little happiness on the rooftop" among the adventurers, and even some unscientific guild legends were made up about me.

"Why is it that as long as someone sees me on the rooftop in the early morning, good things will happen in the next week? If I can really perform this kind of magic involving the law of cause and effect, then I don't have to stay in the guild all day and night to act cute in front of them, right? Wouldn't it be faster to go directly to the casino to make money? What a bunch of superstitious idiots!"

"If I catch that rumormonger, I swear I will give her a lesson!"

"Um?"

"That's Luke?"

I slowly pushed open the iron door that I forgot to lock yesterday, and found a wild seaweed head on the rooftop.

Although I don't mind someone invading my resting place occasionally, the problem is that the situation of this Seaweed Head seems a little bad. In the brightly lit night, he stood on the edge of the rooftop, his back was full of desolation and loneliness, and his clothes were rustling in the evening breeze. From my perspective, I couldn't help but think of the poem - I want to go home with the wind?
