chapter 399 part 3
Beast General Hector Weiss instinctively started to respond, then reacted a split second later, looking in astonishment at Enri, who was looking at him with a grin, her mouth closed.
"What did you do?"
Beast General Hector Weiss found it incredible. Enri's mouth was clearly closed and she hadn't spoken, yet her voice had resounded directly in his mind.
Magic?
But in all their time together, he had never noticed Enri could use magic.
"Isn't it amazing, Teacher?"
Enri stood up, patting the dust off her rear, and said with cheerful surprise, "I just suddenly discovered it today. It's a bit like magic."
"I can communicate directly with people I'm close to. If it could be applied to legion battles, it should be very useful!"
She was no longer the ignorant girl she once was. The reason she called Beast General Hector Weiss "Teacher" was because she had learned a great deal about military-related abilities from him.
Beast General Hector Weiss looked at Enri with an expression of incomprehension. He always felt that this human girl was very special.
"The Captain should know something."
Enri formed a circle with her thumb and forefinger, brought it to her lips, and blew a sharp whistle.
*Whoosh—*
A black figure came running from the distance at high speed. In a moment's time, it had arrived in front of Enri.
"Teacher, I'm leaving now."
Enri skillfully swung herself onto the back of the evil spirit hound, grabbing the bone chain with one hand while waving at Beast General Hector Weiss with the other, shouting, "And everyone, thank you for your guidance during this time."
In no time at all, Enri, riding the evil spirit hound, had disappeared from the sight of the demi-humans.
Watching the gradually receding figure, "Humans... In the future of the hills, how should we demi-humans and humans coexist," this thought surfaced in Beast General Hector Weiss's mind. The hills were now occupied by that adventurer team called Free Will.
This matter wasn't his biggest headache, but rather one for Seven-Colored Scales Kōkosh.

Peculiar Ancient Castle.
Night fell.
As Tang Zheng's core subordinates in the hills, Green Leaf Witch, White Mist Witch, Lizardman Kuru Xue, and Enri were sitting at a spacious dining table.
It was laden with steaming, fragrant food, though spirits weren't particularly high.
Just then!
"Yo, everyone."
A smiling voice suddenly sounded from the side of the hall.
The four at the table quickly looked toward the figure that had suddenly appeared in the hall and promptly stood up.
"Captain!"
"Leader."
"Lord."
"Lord."
Three different forms of address came from the four's mouths. Due to Enri's presence, the other three's forms of address were somewhat simpler.
"I smelled the aroma the moment I arrived. It's really whetting my appetite," Tang Zheng said with a smile, looking at the four of them, his gaze pausing for a moment on Enri.
Not only had Enri grown much taller, but the soft, weak disposition she once had was gone, replaced by a sense of composure and calm.
"It's been a while, Enri."
Tang Zheng walked to the dining table, looked at the Enri before him, and spoke gently. At the same time, he extended a hand, lightly placed it on Enri's hair, and then moved it to his own chest to show her height.
"You've gotten taller."
"Captain." Enri felt the familiar warmth on her head, her eyes turning a little red as she gave a brilliant smile. "I'm not a kid anymore."
"That's right."
Tang Zheng also chuckled lightly, then turned to the other three. "If you all keep standing, I'm going to start eating by myself."
The originally somewhat subdued atmosphere immediately became lively with Tang Zheng's arrival.
He had been in the Imperia Kingdom for this entire period. By now, most of the Body of the Abyss's things had been transferred.
Once the transfer was complete, it would be time for the Body of the Abyss to have their showdown with that mysterious True Dragon Lord.
"It won't be long now," Tang Zheng thought to himself as he picked up a piece of roasted beast meat and put it in his mouth.
Most of the knowledge he had received was, he presumed, copied data from Benjerry of the Abyss and the other inner circle members.
These members of the Body of the Abyss would obviously not just hand everything over to him in one go. But even so, the gains were immense.
He had returned to the hills this time to confirm the progress of the weapons and armor being forged by the dark dwarves and Dwarf Artisans. He hadn't forgotten his promise to provide a batch of weapons to the human tribe in Despair Valley.
He originally thought a month would be enough, but it had been delayed until now, with the items barely completed. This situation arose because there were still many remaining low-tier undead in the hills, which had affected the dwarves' mining of ores and their forging work.
"Captain, I think I can use magic now," Enri said, turning her head toward the feasting Tang Zheng, sounding a bit uncertain.
There was no way to resupply in the Imperia Kingdom, and as an undead, Evileye didn't need food either.
Tang Zheng could only eat the food he had in storage. Now, with a pile of proper food in front of him, his appetite naturally surged.
"Magic?"
Tang Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't remember Enri having any magic-related job classes.
Enri explained the details of the ability she had mastered to Tang Zheng, her face full of anticipation, as if she was showing off and waiting for praise.
"This ability... it couldn't be!"
Tang Zheng's spirits lifted. He hadn't expected such a sudden surprise. He said, "Enri, demonstrate it for me."
"Alright, Message!"
Enri nodded, closed her eyes, and silently activated the skill.
*Omm—*
*Skill "Message" discovered. Prerequisite Job Class "Commander" required. Current conditions not met...*
*"Genius" Job Class has been converted to "Corporal," learning conditions met. Consume 3 Skill Points to learn?*
Tang Zheng could feel a faint mental force trying to connect with him. He didn't know if it was Enri's issue or if some condition was missing, causing "Message" to fail to connect with him completely.
