Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

He wished he could just kill Emperor Xian of Han and seize the throne with the imperial seal!

Realizing that his thoughts were flawed, Subaru Natsuki was so frightened that he drank more than a dozen bowls of sake on the spot.

After finally regaining his senses, he became extremely secretive about the imperial seal from then on.

Normally, I wouldn't even dare to think about it, let alone mention it.

After collecting Mycroft's token, the group continued on their way.

The iron gate to the southeastern prison area soon appeared before them.

Aiko, who was leading the way, stopped.

"Dad, they're inside."

Subaru Natsuki raised his hand, signaling them to open the cell door.

Clarissa walked to the side and lightly tapped the lock with her fingertip.

A cracking sound rang out.

The heavy iron gate slowly collapsed inward.

Inside the cell, Melly was clinging tightly to Elsa's arm.

Her face was much paler than usual after she noticed the commotion outside the door.

She first looked up at Elsa, then hid behind her.

Elsa stood in front of her, her fingers on her hips, her eyes quietly looking out the door.

But the wariness in her eyes revealed that her mood was clearly not as calm as she appeared.

Elsa's gaze swept past her disheveled sons, paying them no heed.

She usually only takes on tasks to earn money, and is not in the same department as the Kingdom's lurking Aiko.

She didn't even know that Capella had a plan to infiltrate the kingdom.

However, she did know Clarissa and Capella.

They were punished together by Capela before.

It seems like she turned into a frog and the other person turned into a mouse.

The moment Elsa saw Clarissa, she realized who the person behind her was.

I couldn't help but wonder if the organization had attacked?

Until her gaze fell on Subaru Natsuki...

She was completely stunned.

Mary, who was holding her, also visibly froze...

Subaru Natsuki stopped in front of the prison gate.

"Heroine! I've missed you terribly these past few days!"

"How about that? Doesn't it feel like your eyelids were pricked and a hen turned into a duck?!"

"It's only been a few days, but our family has already built up its own fortune!"

"Huh?" Elsa looked at her beloved children behind her, stunned...

When did Aiko's organization become Natsuki Subaru's personal property?

Elsa swallowed nervously.

Natsuki Subaru didn't notice her expression; he just smiled and stretched out his palm, striking a pose as if recruiting a famous general.

"So, why don't you and your sister come with us to the Tower of Sages?"

"If we go alone, it will be quite boring without anyone to drink with!"

As soon as Natsuki Subaru finished speaking, before Elsa could even answer, one of the Aikos behind him had already blurted out a reply.

"Dad! Why are you asking for her opinion?"

"Does she dare to refuse?"

The last sentence was spoken so naturally that the girls around him nodded in agreement.

They didn't dare mess with Mom, let alone Dad who had turned Mom into a Fiji Cup.

Elsa's lips twitched when she heard this address, and her gaze became utterly blank...

She looked at Subaru Natsuki, who was surrounded by the crowd, and then at Capela's head, which was still attached to the remaining torso, which was vaguely visible under his cloak. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes.

"Subaru-kun..."

Her voice was very soft, and you could tell she was very uncertain.

"Should I call you Dad too?"

"Huh?" Subaru Natsuki stood there, stunned...

------

At the same time, a member of the Six Tongues, responsible for communications, rushed to Russell Ferro's side.

"Lord Russell!"

"We just received news that Subaru Natsuki entered the prison with the Prime Minister's decree and took Elsa the Bowel Hunter and Melly the Beast Tamer away."

"He also released his other sons from prison."

Russell Filo's quill pen hovered in mid-air.

He was just organizing information about various parts of the capital and the Sage's Tower to prepare for tomorrow's raid team.

Upon hearing this, the ink droplet from the pen tip immediately bleeds onto the paper, leaving a blot of ink.

"what?"

"How did he come to have a prime minister's decree? Did Lord Myrotov give it to him?"

"But Lord Myrotov didn't even give him Crusch from the previous two days, so why would he give him this?"

He looked up, his face growing even more somber.

"He actually dared to use this command to rescue the other members of Aiko... Just as I expected! This Natsuki Subaru has never intended to be well-behaved."

Take away the Bowel Hunter and the Beastmaster, and gather those beloved sons who have already been screened.

This man is gradually gathering the kingdom's most dangerous figures to his side.

He must have ulterior motives!

Russell Ferro gripped his cane tightly.

"Send someone to keep an eye on Subaru Natsuki immediately!"

"Before I return from the Tower of Sages, I must record his every move!"

"Lest he set a trap!"

----------

Some time later, in an unnamed forest outside the capital.

The campfire had burned down to just dark red embers.

Several figures gathered around the fire, whispering news from the capital to the green-haired, white-faced man sitting on a fallen log.

The man was wearing a tattered robe and holding a well-worn gospel book in his hands.

He lowered his head, his fingertips slowly turning the pages of the book, grinding his teeth while muttering something under his breath.

"Lord Petruccius, the lockdown order on the capital city of Lugnica has been lifted."

"Our people have finally delivered the intelligence."

"The situation in the capital is very chaotic right now, but two things have been confirmed."

"First, a man calling himself the Archbishop of Arrogance appeared in the capital. He once assassinated the kingdom's prime minister, Mycroft. Later, the wanted poster for him disappeared and was replaced by a missing person notice."

"Secondly, the silver-haired half-elf we've been following has become one of the five candidates for the selection."

The sound of turning pages stopped.

The man tilted his head at an unusual angle, as if it had taken him a long time to understand the two sentences.

"arrogant?"

He suddenly turned his head back! His eyes widened.

"Arrogance, arrogance, arrogance... arrogance has reappeared?"

The next moment, his body suddenly leaned forward, he hugged his head with both hands, and his long hair fell down from his shoulders.

"What is this? What utter laziness!"

"Disappeared for so long, and then reappeared at a time like this! Is this love for the witch? Is this love?"

He suddenly stopped.

He remained bent over with his head in his hands, and even his breathing seemed to pause for a moment.

"wrong."

"The resurgence of arrogance inevitably carries a mission that must be accomplished."

His lips slowly parted into a grin, and his fingers dug hard into his scalp.

"But what about that silver-haired half-elf?"

"The kingdom actually allows half-elves to become chosen ones?"

"This is sloth! What utter sloth! Have they even forgotten the Witch's grace?"

The man suddenly stood up, his tattered robe fluttering in the wind.

"Unforgivable!"

"This arrogance! This sloth! This indifference to love!"

"This must be corrected! They must understand what true love really is!"

The fingers around him lowered their heads; no one dared to interrupt him at this moment.

The Bishop of Sloth's voice suddenly became very soft.

"The Gospels..."

He lowered his head again and opened the book in his palm.

On the originally blank page, ink stains are gradually emerging from the depths of the paper.

[A trial is being offered to the half-elf chosen one!]

The man stared at the words for a long time, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

"This is the guidance of fate."

"This is the witch's arrangement."

This is love!

His voice grew louder and louder, finally exploding in the sky above the forest.

"What laziness! To let such an important trial wait until now!"

"As ordered!"

The fingers beside him bowed, and then, following the guidance of their respective Gospels, they all turned into shadows and disappeared into the jungle.

Chapter 104: 101. Xia Wula: I've found you!

The starlight gradually shifted.

Natsuki Subaru has already embarked on the road to the Sage's Tower. Unlike before, he is not accompanied by as many people as he was when he was released from prison.

After all, it's a visit to a great sage; there's no need for a grand display.

This is similar to the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei visiting Zhuge Liang.

Having too many people around can make it seem like you're not sincere.
