Chapter 7 - Unexpected News

"Woohoo…"

The wind is cold.

Snowflakes fall from the sky.

Three days have passed since Linlin arrived.

During this period, except for occasionally returning to the village to consult the two elders, Jarul and Jorul, on issues related to training, El mostly stayed on the coast on weekdays.

He set aside a fixed time every day to train and teach Linlin to do strength control training or play with Linlin there.

Moreover, the giant girl named Gerd, who had a good relationship with him, would come over from time to time.

While he was training, she was there playing with Linlin.

However, the Holy Mother, Carmel, often paid attention to this remnant of the Lunarian tribe with a special identity.

After discovering Linlin's existence, she was filled with enthusiasm.

She tried again and again to lure them to the Sheep's House.

But they were all rejected by El.

"Hmm... it's snowing. Are you cold?"

Looking at Linlin, who was only wearing a floral dress, El asked with a smile.

Of course, monsters like them could never feel cold.

This is also the reason why Linlin's parents did not give her winter clothes after entering this sea area.

"Hehe, it's not cold at all..."

Linlin finally met someone like El who was willing to play with her, and she didn't have to worry about accidentally hurting her playmate by using too much force, making her had a lot of fun.

There is also endless grilled fish and seafood.

This made her very satisfied, and her chubby face was filled with smiles.

But looking at the heaving waves in the sea, Linlin bit her fingers in confusion: "But why haven't Mom and Dad come back yet?"

"Maybe something delayed them?"

El smiled and patted the snowflakes off her body.

He touched her head and said with a smile: "I'm going to prepare lunch and catch two wild animals... Linlin, you have to wait for me here. We'll have a barbecue later!"

"Hmm? Barbecue?"

When she heard there was a barbecue for dinner.

Linlin's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but drool and nod happily: "Okay!"

"El, Linlin... I'm coming!"

At this time, from afar, the clear voice of a child can be heard.

Gerd came running over from a distance, carrying a huge basket. "I brought you some delicious food!"

In the past few days, she had come to the coast more than once to look for El and naturally got to know Linlin.

At first, Gerd was shocked.

Unexpectedly, this human girl, although about the same size as her and a little chubby but seemingly harmless, was actually stronger than a giant like her.

She is absolutely the second El, a natural-born monster.

However, under El's guidance, the two quickly became good friends.

And after several days of hard work, Linlin's strength control training has gradually shown some results.

Besides, Gerd is a giant after all, different from children of other races, and there is El watching him.

As long as Linlin pays a little attention so as not to hurt her, they can still play together.

"Really? Thank you so much… Gerd!"

Linlin's eyes lit up, and her mouth watered.

Hearing that there was something delicious, she was extremely happy.

"Gerd, shouldn't you be training with Hajrudin and the others?"

El raised an eyebrow.

Considering that the two highly prestigious leaders of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry, and Brogy, are still alive.

From the very beginning, he had never thought of following in others' footsteps and becoming the next leader of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

Instead, he planned to build an unprecedentedly powerful kingdom from scratch, gathering all races on this sea.

Based on this, he will continue to operate and develop, gradually expand his territory, accumulate strength and foundation, and compete for world supremacy.

The World Government that has held tight control over this ocean for hundreds of years will be overthrown and replaced.

As for the powerful fighting force of the giants, El would certainly not miss it.

Given his special relationship with Elbaph, he believes it will not be difficult for him to recruit giants as a fighting force in the future.

Not to mention Gerd, the giant girl who loves to stick to him.

Just Hajrudin is a young giant star who is favored by the two elders, Jarul and Jorul and is being trained with great care.

He had already been convinced by him and was willing to be his partner in the future.

"I ran away secretly!"

Gerd winked at El playfully, then she handed over the basket she was holding: "Here!"

"Wow!"

Linlin couldn't wait to step forward and take the basket from Gerd's hand.

Looking at the Elbaph specialty, Semla, her big eyes sparkled, and her mouth watered.

"This is the most delicious food in Elbaph Linlin, Semla!"

Gerd put her hands on her hips, full of pride.

Linlin was overjoyed and said: "Thank you so much, Gerd!"

"Then let's eat together!"

El smiled and didn't care too much about Gerd's thoughts.

The lifespan of giants is very long, over three hundred years old. 

Gerd looked very young and looked about the same age as five-year-old Linlin. But in fact, she is three or four years older than him, and is already twelve years old.

Although it's not like she's in love.

But every day, she has to face guys like Hajrudin, who look rough and sloppy.

Naturally, she subconsciously wanted to get close to him.

"Gurgle…"

"Delicious, so delicious!"

The three of them feasted there.

Soon, all the Semlas in the basket were wiped out.

But Linlin still felt a little unsatisfied.

"Linlin, if you like it, I'll bring you more next time!"

Gerd spoke with a smile.

Linlin was so happy that she couldn't help smiling: "Hehe, thank you, you are the best, Gerd!"

"Oh, El..."

Gerd said directly to El: "I heard from Oimo that Mother Carmel seemed to have gone out with a dozen children early in the morning!"

"She said that a kind-hearted person from a wealthy family with a very good reputation contacted her and said that he wanted to adopt some children!"

"Oh?"

El raised an eyebrow.

He hasn't returned to the village these days.

Could it be that the old woman finally couldn't help it?

"Yes, there is Tyne from the Longarm Tribe." 

[Image:19]

"Locke from the Longleg Tribe." 

[Image:20]

"Moss from the Mink Tribe and Jayne from the Fish-Men tribe!"

Listening to what Gerd said, El stood up.

Looking towards the sea, he chuckled and said: "You and Linlin wait here, I'll go over there and take a look!"

Taking so many from different races away at once.

Carmels seems to be preparing to sell them to the World Government.

He won't let the other party succeed easily.

Moreover, Linlin had been snatched away by him.

There is no need to keep this troublesome old woman around any longer.

"El, you're not going to do anything bad, are you?"

Gerd blinked her eyes and tilted her head and said: "Elder Jarul and Jorul said that it is a good thing that someone is willing to adopt those children!"

"I just went to take a look!"

El smiled, then without further ado, he asked Gerd to take good care of Linlin and returned directly to the village.

Under the astonished gazes of the giants, he took a large bag of various fruits and flew away...
