Chapter 1034: Chapter 149 Casual Help

"I’m sorry, I apologize." The Thunder Element, though grumpy, was surprisingly simple-hearted and actually bowed down to apologize after being convinced by Pannis, "The Undead are good, we will not blindly despise them anymore."

"Absolutely not." Flare glared at Pannis, and even Her Majesty the gracious queen’s reproachful gaze was soft, "These two are Undead with Divine Wisdom, so they’re the exception. Other Undead are still without sense, indifferent and ruthless, so don’t just friendly approach any Undead you see in the future. Of course, don’t attack them on sight either. As for the six Undead that attacked you, we’re not sure at the moment, but we suspect that they... may also be exceptions."

"No, I must go and tell my people right away." The Thunder Element paced anxiously in place, electric arcs bursting from his body continuously, occasionally splattering all around, causing the girls not far from him to frown and involuntarily step back to avoid the electric arcs. After several circuits, the Thunder Element finally stopped and said, "Recently, there were some who said they wanted to check if those Undead have left or not, we must notify them immediately of any changes at home, otherwise, if someone rashly flies back, they may never return. It’s hard to tell how many years it would take to rebirth one of our race."

"Come back." The Thunder Element was about to transform into his elemental form to seek his race without finishing his words, when Flare, amused and exasperated, called out, "Thunder, you really should change that habit of yours. Just now you didn’t say anything and started fighting, now it’s the same, you haven’t made things clear yet and you already want to leave. If you always do this, should you encounter people from the outside world again, you might bring on unnecessary trouble."

"Isn’t everything clear already?" The Thunder Element said blankly, "We already know that our homeland has possibly become that strange zone, going back now would result in being twisted into monsters, what else is there to clarify? But the matter of notifying my people can’t wait, if someone has already set off during this delay, then it’s all too late."

"Even if one of your people has set off during this time, they wouldn’t be traveling at the fastest speed. If you want to catch up with them, you can certainly do so at top speed and notify them; nothing will be delayed," Flare sighed. "But don’t you think you’ve forgotten something? You rushed here in such haste, and then you fought a battle with Kyle. Did you come here just to fight Kyle? Don’t you plan to clarify why you were looking for me?"

"Ah, I forgot." The Thunder Element said blankly, "Actually, I came to ask you people from the outside if there’s any good way to deal with those Undead so that we can go home quickly. Didn’t you say when you left our homeland that if you needed anything in the outside world, you could find you in the Lost Forest? But we searched the Lost Forest for years and never saw any creature that looked like you, so it’s only today that we found you. However, now that we know that it has been occupied by a twisted world, that question doesn’t need to be asked anymore, knowing this information is enough. I need to hurry back and notify my people in case there are any changes."

"Hey there, Mr. Thunder Element." Catherine finally understood; these Thunder Elements genuinely didn’t know how to communicate with other intelligent beings. Perhaps it was because they had been secluded for too long, or perhaps it was in their nature, but their behavior was overly naive, and their approach to problems was simple and direct, much like children. Understanding this, the knightly young woman’s resentment towards the unprovoked attack dissipated, and she shook her head in resigned amusement, "Do you really think this information is enough? Whether your homeland can revert to its original state, if it can, how long it might take, and once it has returned to normal, how will you know it’s safe to go back—haven’t you prepared to consider these things beforehand? Even if you don’t think about these, aren’t you going to make sure how you will contact Queen Flare in the future? This way, if there’s any issue, you can directly seek her help."

"It’s complicated," complained the Thunder Element, starting to flicker irritably but sensibly refraining from leaving immediately. He chattered in his own race’s language, seemingly voicing his frustration, and after a while, he calmed down and said, "I was too hasty, sorry. So, what should I do now?"

"Our foray into the Forest of Death is related to the strange events occurring in the Forbidden Land of Living Souls," Catherine said solemnly, ignoring the teasing glance from Pannis, "Our goal is to find the Temple of Danacus and thwart his followers’ plans. The expansion of the Forbidden Land of Living Souls is probably linked to the Grimreaper’s followers’ scheme, so when we destroy their plans, there’s a good chance we can restore the Forbidden Land back to its original extent. So, you only need to wait at the outskirts of the Forbidden Land of Living Souls. In this case, once the situation changes, you can return to your homeland. Of course, you can also stay active in the Lost Forest for now, but make sure to agree on a method of contact with Queen Flare, so that she can notify you when the anomaly ends, and then you all can go back."

"How kind of you," muttered Pannis with a curl of the lip, "to even tell him all this."

"Sorry," Catherine turned back and smiled apologetically at Pannis and the other girls, "I know he just now wanted to attack Little Deer and Annie, and if you had not come to their aid in time, I would have been hurt trying to protect them. You harbor resentment and don’t wish me to help them. Honestly, I felt the same, but thinking about it, his actions were somewhat justified, and his nature is childlike. After we cleared things up, he apologized, so we really don’t need to hold onto it. Besides, they are in need of help now, and I am..."

"You are a knight, right, big sis?" Lina grumbled dissatisfied for a bit, yet like the others, she finally exhaled resignedly, "I knew you’d be stubborn about this. But fine, since you’re the eldest, we’ll support whatever you do."

"It wasn’t me who was nearly injured anyway," Pannis glanced sideways, crossing her arms in a sulky manner for a while before giving in and saying, "That’s why I said from the start, knights are a hassle. Mission nonsense, sense of justice, sense of redemption... It’s all so tedious."

"Thank you, everyone," Catherine bowed deeply to her teammates, "I know you care about me, but it’s just a reminder, there’s no need for any extra actions on our part. If we deliberately avoid doing this much, we’d appear petty."

"Never try to shake the beliefs of a steadfast knight; it’s futile," muttered Pannis, as if remembering past days, with a wistful sigh, "So be it, your will, Sir Knight."
