Chapter 403 Lies and Trust

"Your Majesty, is it okay to let Joseph go alone?"

After Joseph left the line of sight of Roland and Kakarit, Kakarit turned his head and asked Roland softly: "According to what I said, the Tree of Suffering is also an extraordinary life above the golden rank. If it is It attacked secretly, and Joseph may be in danger."

"So, I just asked him to check the intelligence."

Roland nodded and said solemnly: "The reason why I asked him to go to the City of Fortune and let you follow me is because his hiding ability is much better than yours. He can get closer to the Tree of Suffering than you do without If you are discovered by it, you can run away once discovered.”

"However, your consideration is indeed justified. Joseph may indeed encounter danger when exploring the Tree of Suffering, and I cannot put you in such a dangerous situation. Then..."

Roland paused slightly, and called softly: "—Elucardo!"

As soon as the voice fell, a thick shadow emerged from Roland's shadow, covering the entire shadow like an octopus spitting ink.A heavy, petroleum-like black-red liquid oozed from the shadow.

At that moment, Kakarit's heart was seized by a sense of solemn terror. His heart was beating desperately as if it was about to explode. Kakarit even felt his neck and wrists were shaken by the frantically beating heart. Trembling and trembling.Because of his excellent perception, the horror he feels is ten times that of ordinary people.

He seemed to see that the world in front of him turned scarlet in an instant, thick blood lingered in his mouth and nose, and death was approaching.This illusion dissipated within half a second, but Kakarit's back was completely drenched in cold sweat.

——What kind of monster is that? !
In his terrified gaze, the outline of a half-girl rose from Roland's shadow, and the outlines were surrounded by eyes of different sizes.

Just being stared at by those eyes, emotions of fear, rage, and resentment turned into an invisible storm and swept across, almost tearing Kakarit's spirit apart.

"Excuse me... my master."

A soft and somewhat hoarse elegant voice sounded, and the eyeballs and the black-red viscous liquid gradually faded away, revealing the beautiful girlish figure inside.

Even Kakarit couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment.

It was elf-like delicate beauty.The corners of his mouth were raised high as if he had been scorning something, even when he looked at Roland, he didn't put away his habitual smile.

She was wearing a handsome yet mysterious scarlet windbreaker with complicated patterns on the top and the hem hanging down to her calf.Under the afternoon sun, one might even think it was a human-shaped flame or burning blood from a distance.

The long black hair at her back and waist looks a bit like a group of snakes, and it also looks like a black flame.The moment Kakarit saw her, he vaguely saw a black-red light shadow hundreds of meters high like a water element flashing past her body.

After being summoned by Roland, she kept staring at Kakarit with interesting eyes.A feeling of being watched by a superior predator made Kakarit dare not even move.

Kakarit had no doubt that if he met her, his throat would be torn apart if he couldn't even sing the first prayer.

Just looking at her made Kakarit shudder.

...So it turns out that His Majesty Roland has been keeping such a terrifying monster in his shadow?
Kakarit couldn't even speak.

"Elucardo, follow Joseph to the City of Fortune."

Roland said softly: "If Joseph is attacked by the Tree of Suffering, or angered by the Tree of Suffering, he will be in danger. If this happens, he may be in danger... That's why I want you to follow him s reason."

"Ah . . . I see. I see, my lord. I'm off now."

Elcardo chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling with pleasure.

Roland smiled slightly, and stretched out his left hand to Elcardo.

So Elucardo knelt down on one knee, kissed the back of Roland's hand lightly, and murmured softly: "May you be safe. My master."

After that, she lowered her head slightly, and her whole body turned into a shadow and sank back to the ground.

"……Feel sorry."

Kakarite lowered his head in shame: "Your Majesty, I admire your kindness."

"This is not mercy, Kakarit."

But Roland shook his head, and said softly: "Joseph's trip is indeed risky. It's my fault that I didn't notice it. You don't have to be sorry, Kakarit, and I also want to thank you for reminding me."

"However, if you send your own guards to protect the safety of your subordinates, what about your own safety?"

"No, Your Majesty..." Kakarit's eyes showed both worry and passion, "Let me protect your safety. Although I may not be as good as Lord Elcardo, I will never die after you."

"If you really die before me, I will be distressed."

Roland said seriously: "I have more important tasks for you."

"...a more important task? No, Your Majesty, could it be that..."

"The so-called art industry has a specialization, Kakarit. Joseph is indeed more suitable for work such as stealth detection than you. Elcardo's protection makes me feel at ease. But when it comes to preaching, you are the only one I can trust .”

Roland replied softly word by word.His eyes are gentle, and his emerald pupils are deep and calm.

"However, your safety—"

Kakarit shook his head again and again, his voice hurried.

"Listen to me, Kakarit," Roland interrupted Kakarit forcefully, "I need the stability of Richero, and I need a group of followers of Karal. I don't think there is any better time than now It is more suitable for preaching."

"but……"

Just as Kakarit opened his mouth, the words got stuck in his throat.

Yes.He also knew that besides himself, Roland would not be able to find anyone else to help him preach for a while.

Richero's disaster will begin to subside in a day or two.At that time, after people's restless hearts gradually subsided, the baptism of the Eternal Sleeping Teacher would not be so effective.

"You don't have to worry, I'm just going to the Great Cemetery. It's already been trampled by Karal scavengers, so there's no danger."

Roland paused slightly, and then continued: "Besides, I have other things to ask you. In two or three days, a follower of the mentor will come to Richero, you wait here to help me pick him up. He is an undead, if you see him, bring him to me."

"...As you wish." After a little hesitation, Kakarit responded, "Then, his name..."

"Dodo. You can call him Dodo."

Roland immediately replied: "That's it, Kakarit. You help me recruit a group of mentor disciples in Richero, and then stay here until you come to Fortune City to find me after Duoduo comes. I'll be waiting for you right there."

After getting Kakarit's affirmative answer, Roland showed a relieved smile.

So he turned his head and walked southwest.
