Chapter 106: Lin Lin Is Missing!

Lenidien did not catch up.

The sky darkened again, and the fog grew thicker, making it impossible to continue walking. The knights had to rest.

Lin Lin guessed that night had come.

The knights got down from their horses, while Lin Lin quickly and lightly got off her donkey, leaving David disappointed because he wanted to help her.

Was David really the kind of person who wanted to show off his charm? Lin Lin felt complicated.

Four or five knights gathered together for a short time to prepare food and keep watch.

Lin Lin and Caligo stayed close together; they were the ones being protected the most.

An owl perched on Lin Lin’s shoulder and pecked at her fluffy black hair.

Lin Lin turned back in confusion and saw Caligo frowning as he patted the owl’s head. Then, the dark brown owl began to nuzzle her face playfully.

Lin Lin suddenly realized that she had just been teased by the owl.

This owl really knew how to choose its moments; once it saw it couldn’t tease her anymore, it immediately came over to snuggle.

However, because it was really warm, Lin Lin pretended not to notice its little tricks.

The owl pointed the way for everyone to go next.

Compared to Knight Commander Norman’s confident strides, everyone trusted the newly joined native owl more. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time Norman had confidently stated he would lead everyone out of the forest.

Norman, who was bringing over a bundle of dry branches, looked a bit sad, "I thought everyone would trust me more."

"Are you talking about how we wandered around the forest for so long?" David asked.

Hearing this, Lin Lin suddenly remembered seeing a newspaper article about the knights getting lost in the forest.

"It seems you made the newspaper," Lin Lin said, "even though it’s a third-rate paper, it sells very well and put your disappearance on the front page."

Lin Lin was speaking at a normal volume, but maybe everyone was very interested in the newspaper, so several heads leaned in together, "What! Is that true? Who is it?"

"It’s the ‘Two-Headed Bear’ newspaper," Lin Lin replied.

Best-selling champion, famous brand.

Instantly, the whole knight group erupted in a chorus of wailing.

"We’re doomed! Our mom will see it!"

"Darn it! How does the ‘Two-Headed Bear’ get every piece of news?"

"Spent my whole life working hard, and now my brother laughs at me for one thing."

"…Um, will we be expelled from the sanctuary?"

Amid the many wails, a voice that sounded far too pessimistic broke through. Even Lin Lin couldn’t help but worry about the knights and looked towards the Knight Commander with several knights.

To everyone’s surprise, Norman also showed a rather sad expression, "…It’s over, I have to write a self-reflection when we get back."

Although the reflection will be painful, let’s not worry about those useless things for now!

"Please pay more attention to the feelings of your subordinates!" Lin Lin wondered why every team leader was so unreliable; she really couldn’t stop worrying.

Lin Lin habitually stood on her tiptoes and reached out, playfully brushing Norman’s forehead.

She was used to grabbing the Demon King’s horns. Despite their height difference, the Demon King would often lower his head, making it easy for her to reach.

This time, Lin Lin reached out again, but of course, there was nothing there, and the air slipped away between her fingers.

Lin Lin paused for a moment before retracting her spread fingers.

After being fitted with the collar, not only would her own abilities be affected, but the magic cast by others on Lin Lin and Caligo would also be weakened.

Without the warmth of magic, Lin Lin and Caligo wrapped themselves in thick cloaks. Lin Lin wore Norman’s cloak, which was heavy like the Knight Commander’s. The end of the cloak was tied so it wouldn’t drag on the ground since Lin Lin was rather short.

At that moment, the owner of the cloak slightly lowered his head because Lin Lin was lost in thought.

The Holy Knight Commander showed a gentle smile, and beneath his long eyelashes were bright blue eyes.

"What’s wrong?"

–

"What’s wrong?" Orion wondered why the Demon King Castle was having another meeting.

To be honest, there hadn’t been meetings like this for the past two hundred years, and it was making him very tired now.

Meetings are always unnecessary!

"If it’s a meeting that needs me to attend, it probably isn’t worth much," thought the undead knight, fully aware of his own value.

Then, Orion opened the door and slowly closed his eyes when he saw the familiar round table and the familiar participants.

He really wanted to run away, but he couldn’t escape.

Could someone find a kind person to move his grave? He really did not want to deal with the messy things of Demon King Castle anymore.

"Lin Lin is missing," His Majesty the Demon King said with a serious expression.

The Demon King’s hands were clasped, half of his face hidden in shadow, revealing a pair of deep violet eyes.

Orion wanted to go back, open the door again, and keep himself outside.

This time, Safir was not at the meeting; the Dragon race had set up a magic to block calls from Demon King Castle because they were calling him too often.

They also unilaterally blacklisted all communication from Demon King Castle.

"Isn’t this just like last time?" Dark Elf Felix lay back in a reclining chair in a very awkward position. If Safir saw him relaxed like this, he would probably make a sarcastic comment, "Last time Lin Lin just went out to have fun and got angry for a while because of some flyers."

"She thought my photo was not chosen well," the Demon King had to patiently explain, "but I think that one has great power."

Felix stroked his chin, "That photo? I think it was chosen well."

Orion was already thinking about when to leave.

"Orion, what do you think?" He was finally called upon.

Even because he was human, he was singled out to express his opinion.

"As far as I know," Orion cleared his throat, "Lin is already an adult; she doesn’t need to report to anyone and can go wherever she wants."

"Irresponsible! It’s because of your careless thoughts that Lin Lin is missing!" Your Majesty the Demon King said seriously, "You will be removed from the ‘Lin Lin Committee.’"

"If Lin Lin knew you were using her name to name your group without permission, your life would be even more in danger," Orion said sincerely.

Your Majesty the Demon King fell silent for two seconds and adjusted the collar of his fur cape.

"In short, I think this outing is quite normal," Felix swung his little legs, "Safir is just too controlling. Lin Lin says he is a ‘strict dad’ outside."

"You definitely don’t want to be a dad, right?" Felix leaned closer to the Demon King, "Lin Lin would say you are a stubborn old fossil."

The Dark Elf, who has a lifespan similar to Lin Lin, said this.

The long-lived demon race slowly clutched their chest, feeling as if an arrow had struck their heart.

Your Majesty the Demon King was not very interested. When the two people left the meeting, he still sat in his place.

Everything in Demon King Castle was overly familiar, even the changes in the weather had been seen countless times.

A shiny black bird landed on the balcony, making a crisp chirping sound.

Your Majesty the Demon King waved at the bird. The bird blinked its bean-like eyes twice, then flapped its wings and gently landed in the open palm of the Demon King.

The Demon King looked down, his curly black hair falling beside his ears. He did not recite a spell, yet a small cluster of wheat grains appeared in his palm.

The bird pecks at the grain.

A tiny pain and itch made the Demon King press his palms together.

The bird flew away.
