"That's right, and in this way, Linlin can also live in Elbaf forever. Carmel, you can still watch her grow up. What do you think?"
"..."
The smile on Mother Carmel's face became increasingly kind: "That would be wonderful. I wouldn't be at ease entrusting Linlin's power to an ordinary family."
"Bojajajaja~ It's great that you can agree, Carmel."
"Jabababa~ We will definitely cultivate Linlin into the strongest warrior!"
With their wish fulfilled, Jorul and Jarul laughed heartily, already fantasizing about the future of the Giant Warrior Pirates.
"I believe in you two Lords!"
Mother Carmel also echoed, then changed the subject: "However, I hope Linlin can still live with me at the Lamb's House. I like Linlin, and I hope she can accompany me through my final days."
"Of course!" Jorul and Jarul restrained their smiles.
This is the Holy Mother's last request; how could they refuse?
"Then I am relieved."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mother Carmel bid farewell and left. From an angle invisible to others, her kind face instantly turned sinister and vicious.
If Linlin's performance today is relayed to the World Government.
She could be sold for at least over 100 million Berries.
Handing her over to you bunch of paupers.
Keep dreaming!!!
Loki, observing everything from the sidelines, had a faint smile on his lips.
Jorul and the other old fogey still have some foresight. Being pressured like this.
I'm afraid Carmel will be anxious to sell Linlin now, right?
The next day.
Sunlight once again enveloped Elbaf.
The ice and snow in the Sun Realm began to melt, revealing the dense vegetation underneath.
The Winter Solstice Festival was coming to an end.
"Mr. Raideen, please train me too!"
Loki prepared to join Hajrudin's training.
His previous preparations were still too singular.
He only thought about avoiding the Eating Disorder and dodging this calamity.
He hadn't thought about a series of emergency measures after the Eating Disorder broke out.
Yesterday, when suppressing Linlin, if he knew a move or two.
He wouldn't have had to rely on his body to tough it out, dragging it out until Linlin had no strength left before he could counterattack.
Eating this kind of loss once is enough.
"Prince Loki, you..."
Raideen originally wanted to say if it was too early.
But recalling the battle he saw yesterday, he immediately swallowed the second half of his sentence.
His strength far exceeds that of an adult giant; doing basic training won't affect his growth at all.
So, he changed his tune: "Your strength is already sufficient; what you lack is control. Let's start with swinging the sword. Hajrudin, teach Prince Loki."
"Me? Teach Loki?"
Hajrudin pointed at himself in confusion.
Teacher Raideen, are you sober?
I can't even withstand one of his strikes.
Raideen frowned: "Hajrudin, believe in your own efforts. Your combat techniques and movements are very standard and powerful. Teaching Prince Loki is absolutely no problem!"
"Yes!!"
"Loki, watch me. To hold the sword, you must..."
Time slowly passed.
"1000, 1001..."
Thump~
Loki lay on the ground.
Raideen advised: "Prince Loki, don't relax. This is far from your limit."
"This isn't my body's limit, but it's my mental limit. Let me rest for a while."
Loki dragged his sore arms and rolled over.
Training was even more exhausting than he imagined.
His hands and feet felt as heavy as lead.
Back in his previous life when training shoulders, he would have long been lying on the gym floor asleep.
Swinging the sword a thousand times now is already amazing, okay?
"..." Raideen was silent.
Due to his status, he couldn't educate Loki the way he educated Hajrudin.
"Loki, you're so useless!" Hajrudin couldn't help but rejoice.
He finally found something where he was better than Loki.
"Oh, good luck to you. Strive to have the same strength as me soon." Loki encouraged without emotion.
"..." Hajrudin's face flushed red.
No, training isn't like this!
Loki should be unable to tolerate my provocation and stand up to continue exercising.
But eventually unable to hold on, helplessly defeated by me, right?
What's with Loki's appearance now?!
How can you be indifferent?!
The more Hajrudin thought about it, the angrier he got. He imagined a Loki in front of him and swung his sword viciously!
Seeing this, Loki couldn't help but be amused.
Looking at the diligent Hajrudin, a greedy thought arose in Loki's heart: "Is there any way to make my body move on its own? Or let Hajrudin power-level for me?"
Loki couldn't endure the bitterness of persistent training at all.
Hajrudin seems to like eating this bitterness.
Let him eat a bit more.
"Think about the future. Do you want to be defeated by Shanks and those people? Don't continue to degenerate! Work hard!!!"
After lying down for half an hour and mentally pushing himself for a long time, Loki finally stood up and rejoined the training.
With Loki's training intensity of training for half an hour and resting for two hours, time passed day by day.
In this peace, Elbaf entered the Sea Circle Calendar year 1479.
On February 14th.
Mother Carmel left the island alone, claiming she was going to communicate adoption matters with families adopting the children.
This happened once every two years, and the giants of Elbaf were already used to it.
No one would find it strange, except for Loki who had read the script.
"The opportunity has finally come."
Confirming that Mother Carmel had left, Loki sought out Jorul and Jarul.
"Prince Loki, is something the matter?"
Seeing Loki, Jorul and Jarul smiled brightly.
In their eyes, the current Loki was someone blessed and watched over by the Sun God, the future King who would lead Elbaf to glory again.
Without pleasantries, Loki got straight to the point: "Elders, do we in Elbaf have any method to monitor others from a long distance without being detected?"
Jorul's smile faded: "Prince Loki, what have you foreseen?"
After the Linlin incident, they dared not ignore what Loki said.
"Lies and deception, but I also doubt the truth of what I saw. I need to track Mother Carmel to confirm." Loki didn't say it explicitly.
Mother Carmel's image as the "Holy Mother" is deeply ingrained in the eyes of the world.
Let alone the stubborn Giant Tribe.
Speaking more is not as effective as putting the facts before everyone's eyes to make the Giant Tribe believe.
Jarul immediately worried: "Mother Carmel? Is she in trouble this time? This is bad; we don't know Mother Carmel's destination this time."
"...I knew it." Loki complained inwardly, explaining: "Elder Jarul, it's not today, but something happening in the future. I saw those children being harmed again."
"Targeting children? To actually target Mother Carmel and the Lamb's House, these are no ordinary human traffickers. They don't even put our Elbaf in their eyes. We must strike hard!" Jorul immediately determined the target.
"That's right, but if we escort Mother Carmel, these hateful guys definitely won't appear. So we need to track them to catch the mastermind in one fell swoop. This matter must absolutely not be known to Mother Carmel, otherwise what I saw will change." Loki instructed.
