The worries of Xiute and Ilyas are actually also Zhou Ming's worries.

In order to implement the "Crossing the Sea" plan, Ilyas will definitely have to return to the main continent...after she gives birth to the child.

Ilyas has returned, what should Shute do who has been declared "dead"?

What should they do with their children?

This is a very difficult question.

Of course, Zhou Ming, who wanted to win over the two, did not act too hastily. Instead, he gave Xiute a long vacation without assigning him tasks and asked him to accompany Ilyas.

At the same time, a large number of servants were arranged, the most skilled imperial doctor was dispatched, and he even came to visit twice in person.

A month later.

Accompanied by bouts of intensifying labor pains, Elias, who had been pregnant for nearly ten months, was finally ready to give birth.

Promote the temporary delivery room after delivery.

"Ah~ah!"

After probably screaming in pain for more than five hours, with a loud and high-pitched "wow" cry, the baby was successfully delivered.

With an anxious look on his face, Xiute lifted the curtain and rushed into the delivery room quickly.

Wenpo brought a baby to Xiute and said with a smile: "Congratulations, sir, your wife gave birth to a boy for you."

Looking at the swaddled baby, Xiute murmured: "I'm a dad, I'm a dad!"

He carefully took the baby, smiled silly at his son for a while, walked to the bed not far away, and said to his pale wife: "Ilyas, child, this is our child, we have a family! "

Elias smiled and nodded, a tear falling from the corner of her eye.

…

After three days of recovery.

Except for her slight physical weakness, Ilyas is already able to walk on the ground.

Zhou Ming came to visit again and discussed a heavy topic.

"Shute, Ilyas, I believe you know the purpose of my visit this time, and you should be mentally prepared."

"Yes, it's time to make a choice again, and it's very difficult for you. Your happy family may experience a short separation."

"I have prepared two plans here, you can choose one of them."

"Plan 1: Carry out the original plan. Shute will stay in the Orunian Empire, and Ilyas will take the children and Conan Cecil to the Blue Hand headquarters..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ming was interrupted.

"No, I must stay with my wife. I want to protect my children. I will not let them leave my side!"

Shute said with some excitement that he could not accept this plan.

"Okay, option two, Shute, you can go back to the guild headquarters with Ilyas and secretly protect her and Conan, but your child must stay in Orunya, and I will take good care of him."

Zhou Ming came up with the second plan.

"What? Keep my baby? No, no, he was just born and I have to breastfeed him."

Ilyas couldn't accept it now. The child was the flesh and blood of her body, connected with her heart and soul, and she could not be separated from her child.

"There are a large number of wet nurses in the palace. You don't have to worry about breastfeeding. I will have little Cage (the name of Shuter and Ilyas's child) take good care of."

"No, I can't bear to leave the child!"

Ilyas hugged her son tightly, becoming very nervous and emotional... After all, this was her first child, and possibly her only one.

"Understood, I understand very much. Recently, I ordered people to develop a rocket aerostat. The flying speed is twenty times that of ordinary aerostats. In this aerostat, you can travel back and forth in up to two months. , plus the time for task delivery, at most three months, you can return to the empire and reunite as a family again."

"In addition, the Magic Network system provides a 'video chat' function. If you are still worried, you can make a video call to me every day to check on little Cage."

"I have considered all the circumstances and come up with many ways to compromise. This is indeed the best offer I can offer."

"Moreover, the situation outside is complicated. It is neither convenient nor safe to have a child around. It is difficult to respond flexibly when encountering danger. Keeping the child here is also to better protect him."

"I wonder if you can accept this plan?"

Zhou Ming said.

Shute and Elias fell into a brief moment of thought.

There is obviously some truth to what Noctis said. Children cannot be said to be a burden, but it is indeed inconvenient to take a child with you when traveling long distances and encountering various unpredictable and complicated situations.

The other three months of round trip time were also far beyond Xiute and Elias' expectations, because with the original means of transportation, it would take them at least a year to complete the mission.

Nowadays, with the advent of advanced and fast transportation, the time has been compressed to three months, which greatly alleviates Ilyas's reluctance to give up.

Coupled with the video conversation function provided by the Magic Network system, you can see your little baby every day...

Noctis's attitude and sincerity in recruiting them, as well as his thoughtful consideration in all aspects, are indeed intuitive and satisfying.

so……

After half an hour of struggle and consideration, it was confirmed that there was no better alternative.

"Okay, Your Majesty Noctis, we accept the second plan you proposed. Let Ilyas take Conan back to the guild headquarters. I will protect them secretly. As for our children, please help your Majesty." Take care of it." Xiute bowed slightly to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming nodded: "Thank you for your understanding and support. I will take good care of your little Cage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

They both stood up at the same time and bowed.

…

Another month or so passed.

Under the repeated urging of President Carlo Cisneri.

Inside the nearly completed Imperial Center Floating Port.

Shute and Ilyas looked at their children a few times, kissed them again and again, and shed a few tears. Finally, they reluctantly boarded the new "High-Speed ​​Rocket" aerostat and took them with them. With Conan Cecil, he went to the guild headquarters to deliver a message.

The Rocket quickly took off, and the high-power blue engine at the tail started, spraying out blue airflow, pushing the aerostat, and quickly disappeared into the distant sky.

…

Zhou Ming was completely relieved.

As long as little Cage is still in the Orunian Empire, he believes that no matter what difficulties and resistance they encounter, Shuter and Ilyas will definitely find a way to return and the family will be reunited happily.

And after Conan Cecil's bait is sent to the Blue Hand General Guild, the answer to why the Blue Hand "values" the self-connected people so much will soon surface.

besides.

In order to better control this empire, Zhou Ming has recently been implementing a second plan - the infection plan.

The purpose of this plan is to completely capture the Blue Hand branch in the Orunian Empire and capture the thousands of Magic Network Walkers!

Realize the integration and unification of high-end forces and eliminate all hidden dangers.

The executor of this plan is Xiute's good friend, the former Blue Hand Demon Net Walker who has basically fallen in love with Zhou Ming and is willing to work for him.
