Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

The shadowy figure stared intently at Renault and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Renault was slightly taken aback by the words. He gave the shadowy figure a meaningful look and began to scrutinize the boy, whom he had never paid attention to since he arrived at the House of Lambs.

This boy had no presence whatsoever from beginning to end.

"What else do you know?"

Now that things had come to this, Renault no longer concealed his intentions and asked in a low voice.

Of course, no matter what the shadowy figure knew, he wouldn't hurt him.

After all, he was just a child who had been deceived by Carmel.

"I did not mean anything else."

"You'll be leaving after Lingling's birthday, right?"

"I want to go to sea with you!"

"Um?!"

The shadowy figure's words surprised Renault once again.

"I thought you were going to ask me about Carmelo."

"Mom?"

As if he had thought of something, the shadowy figure's expression turned somewhat wistful.

He didn't look at Renault again, but just said to himself, "Mom... Mom is a very contradictory person. I once secretly discovered the way she looked at Jess and the others. That look was terrible, terrifying, and ferocious... I... I feel that Mom is not that good."

The shadowy figure spoke haltingly, a hint of pain on his face.

Renault stared intently at the shadowy figure. He could sense that the figure spoke with genuine emotion and without any pretense.

"Tell me, how did you smell my scent?"

"And how did you find out about Carmelo?"

"With so many children, why couldn't they smell it? Why didn't they notice it? Why was it only you?"

Renault pressed him further, pointing out that he had deliberately removed all traces of himself before coming here, so there shouldn't have been any suspicious signs.

"I have a naturally keen sense of smell and can smell things that other people can't."

As for Mom...

As he said this, a hint of pain appeared on the shadowy figure's face, as if he were recalling unpleasant memories.

He paused for a moment before continuing:

“My father was an assassin. He started training me when I was eight years old, determined to make me the most powerful assassin on the sea. But when I was ten, my father was murdered, and that's when my mother adopted me.”

“My observation skills are better than average, and I don’t usually like to play games with them, and my mother doesn’t pay much attention to me.”

The shadowy figure's experiences made Renault glance at him twice.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of me was actually an assassin who had been trained for five years.

“I don’t know what happened while you and Mom were gone. I just want to get out of here.”

"Take me away from here."

The shadowy figure gripped Renault's arm, pleading desperately.

Renault's expression was complicated as he looked at the expectant figure in the shadows.

There seem to be an unusually large number of unexpected events today.

First came the appearance of the long bread, and now this strange black shadow.

"Okay! I promise you."

"But once we're out there, you'll have to follow my instructions."

Renault said calmly.

"And then there's the matter of Carmelo."

"Don't worry, I don't know anything."

The shadowy figure nodded knowingly.

"You should go and go too, at least make an appearance and come back with them."

"it is good!"

After saying that, the shadowy figure also walked into the forest.

027 The Missing Nun, Ready to Set Sail!

Soon, all the children who went out to look for Carmel returned empty-handed, dejected and crestfallen.

"Where did Mom go? I can't find her."

"I don't have that direction either."

"Neither do I have one here."

The shadowy figure unusually spoke up, drawing more attention from the other children.

Hearing everyone's answers, Renault frowned, a cold smile already rising in his heart.

The body was almost completely digested; it would be strange to find it.

Renault glanced at Lingling, who had already finished washing up, and said:

"In that case, let's not wait for the nun and start now."

"Okay, okay!!"

Although the lack of a nun was somewhat disappointing, the thought of soon enjoying delicious cakes and food lifted everyone's spirits, and they began to look forward to it.

Lingling's birthday party started soon.

The enormous cake Renault prepared moved Lingling to tears.

Because of Lingling's food cravings, Renault always restrained her diet and never allowed her to overeat.

She only ate small cakes, and she was never satisfied.

She had never seen such a big cake before.

"Thank you, brother. You're so kind."

Lingling, who was sitting on the ground, rubbed against Renault very affectionately.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing there and get ready to begin."

"I've prepared drinks for everyone!!"

"I'll clear the table for everyone!!"

The happy children quickly got to work and handed the gifts they had prepared to Lingling.

The whole process was very enjoyable.

Halfway through the banquet, everyone suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from afar.

The children all looked over and saw it was Haildin.

"Hahahaha... Am I too late??"

"Lingling, this is a birthday present I prepared for you!"

As her savior, Halding would naturally not miss Lingling's birthday party.

"Thank you, Haildin."

Lingling happily accepted the gift, a blissful smile on her face.

"Huh?? Where's the nun?? Where did she go?"

Haildin frowned as he looked around.

"It's such an important day as Lingling's birthday, there's no reason for me not to be there," Halding thought to himself.

“We in 893 don’t know either. Mom went out early this morning and hasn’t come back to 964 yet. We don’t know where she went in 460.”

"Maybe something happened that delayed things."

Renault took a sip of juice and shared his guess.

"Is that so?" Halding nodded, without a doubt.

"Then let the banquet continue."

Seeing the large cake that was already half-eaten, Haildin's mouth watered.

"Come and have some cake."

The interrupted banquet resumed amidst everyone's laughter and chatter.

The joyful birthday party ended in the evening, with everyone surrounding the birthday girl, Lingling, and having a great time.

Even the usually taciturn shadow seemed to smile more.

However, the only thing that worried everyone was that a whole day had passed and Carmelo still hadn't returned.

It's as if they've disappeared.

.....

........

The next day.

"Hasn't he come back all day?"

After listening to the children's excited chatter, it took Yoru a while to understand what had happened.

“This has never happened before.”

"Don't worry, I'll have the giants help you find her. As long as she's still in Elbaf, we'll definitely be able to find her."

Looking at the children with worried faces in front of him, Yoruru made a promise with heartache.

"Thank you, Grandpa Yoru!"

"With the help of the giant warriors, we will surely be able to find our mother."

The children naturally assumed that this would definitely lead them to Carmelo.

On the first day, all the giant warriors who went out to search returned empty-handed.

The next day, Team Leader Yorulu sent more people to explore further, but they still found nothing.

Day three.

.......

.......

Ten days have passed.

For ten whole days, the Lamb's House and a large number of giant warriors went to every corner of Elbaf, deep into the forest, and to places they had never been before.

But the result was still fruitless; Carmelo seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Chief, we've searched for ten days and haven't found a trace of the nun. I suspect it might be..."

Hulk, the giant warrior, hesitated, leaving the rest of his words unsaid.

However, the meaning they wanted to express was already self-evident.

They knew Carmel's character well; he would never leave without saying goodbye, especially not for such a long time.

Then there's only one possibility.

"Hey--"

Yoru sighed helplessly; he knew all too well.

But who would dare to kill someone on the territory of the giants?

She was also a nun who treated children well and had never offended anyone.

Yorulu refused to think about the worst-case scenario from the very beginning.
