"I understand, I'll practice more in the future... Ouch, why did you hit my head?"
"What kind of training? To build a foundation for a reckless playing style?"
Lin Xueyin pouted and tried to turn her head to the side, but no matter how she turned, she was only fooling herself in the other person's arms.
"I'm thinking about future battles. I can't let the lack of stamina prevent me from continuing to fight."
After a brief silence, I gently placed a light kiss on her smooth forehead, and sure enough, I saw her blush instantly.
"Ugh, what are you doing? Be serious."
"It's just a good morning kiss, it's very popular among girls, you don't even know that?" He looked at the girl in front of him with surprise, whose pretty face was already flushed red.
"Alright, let's get up and cook." The evening breeze blew through the half-open window, causing the curtains to flutter, and the last rays of the setting sun shone into the room.
"It's getting late, time to get up."
As Lin Xueyin broke free from Ailiya's embrace, a sudden chill sent a shiver down her spine. Ailiya had already draped a coat over her shoulders.
"It's cold outside, wear more clothes."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go cook now..."
"Okay, I'll go down to the military camp and see how their investigation is going." Aria also got out of bed, preparing to go down to the military camp to see if they had come up with any results.
"Hurry back, I'll have dinner ready soon. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Lin Xueyin said, turning back as she was about to leave the room.
He chuckled twice. "Okay, I'll be back soon."
Time slips away unnoticed in a person's life, perhaps leaving a trace, or perhaps leaving no trace at all.
Lin Xueyin brought the dinner she had prepared to the restaurant. Looking at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening, the whole town returned to its previous tranquility. However, the person she was waiting for still hadn't returned.
He took out the bifold staff from his bag and carefully examined the intricately carved patterns on it, recalling the girl he had met when he first arrived.
Although she is assertive in everything she does, she is also genuinely kind to me. She doesn't look down on me because of my ignorance. The time I spent living with her was truly carefree. It seemed that she could solve everything, and I just needed to stay by her side.
We had promised that I would cook for her for the rest of my life and that we would never be apart. But that early morning, without any warning, I lost all trace of her. I waited for two days in a row, but she still didn't come back.
Unable to suppress his unease, he had no choice but to come out and carefully search for her whereabouts. Only then did he learn that in order to allow him to live in peace, she had driven away all the magical beasts in the surrounding area, and that no other magical beasts would enter within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
That powerful magical aura was probably similar to her own level, and this staff was made for her by hand when she first learned that she was a priest.
I never expected that it would break during a battle with a monster. Touching the exquisite patterns on it, I could still feel the care and focus the creator put into making it.
"Nana, tell me, where did you go? Do I really have to go all the way to the academy to look for you?"
In a distant palace, illuminated by a blood-red full moon, a woman holding a goblet filled with blood-red wine gazes silently at the night sky. Beneath her long purple hair, her purple eyes are filled with longing.
As if remembering something, her sexy, full red lips curved into a captivating smile, only to vanish in an instant.
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny - Chapter 35 Leaving the Town
On the wide official road, several fully armed knights protected a carriage, which moved slowly forward. Pedestrians, adventurers, travelers, and merchants around them all looked at the knights with awe.
"Xueyin, are you really sure you want to go back to the academy with me and team up?"
With a tone of uncertainty, or rather disbelief, Aria asked the girl inside the carriage again.
"Of course! You've asked that so many times, can you please stop asking?"
The person in the car is our protagonist, Lin Xueyin. As for why she is on the official road at this time, it has to do with the fact that after Ailiya went to inquire about the investigation results, she returned to Lin Xueyin's small hospital.
"What did you say? The people of Greedy Wolf Stronghold have all disappeared without a trace?"
Lin Xueyin looked at Ailiya, who was nodding, in shock. She understood that this disappearance was not the same as the disappearances that occurred when the army was suppressing them before, but a complete and utter disappearance, or rather, their fate was unknown.
“That’s right, they are missing. I also had someone investigate the entire Greedy Wolf Stronghold. A lot of treasures and food were kept intact inside. If the people of Greedy Wolf Stronghold left beforehand, they certainly wouldn’t have left without the treasures and food.”
"Disappeared? Just like that?"
"Oh, right, the townspeople have also discovered that the ones who turned into zombies and attacked us are the bandits from the Greedy Wolf Stronghold."
"What the heck? You mean that necromancer turned all those bandits into zombies?" Unbelievable! Those vicious bandits were turned into zombies by a necromancer and ultimately destroyed by their own hands.
"But how did the townspeople confirm it?"
"I also inquired about it. It's because some townspeople saw the face of that zombie under your lightsaber spell. It was the former leader of the Greedy Wolf Stronghold."
"Is it really that shocking?" Lin Xueyin scratched her head in surprise, finding it hard to accept this sudden news.
The Greedy Wolf Stronghold, which had always been regarded as a leech by the townspeople and the empire, was destroyed just like that. This is too exaggerated.
"We also found the looted supplies from before inside, which basically confirms that this incident was committed by the Greedy Wolf Stronghold. However, with their disappearance, the secrets of the Greedy Wolf Stronghold will probably be completely buried."
"Huh? There's another secret? Do they have some secret treasure? How's our digging going? Ouch, you hit my head again. Be careful you don't make me stupid, or you'll have to pay for it."
Aiya gently tapped Lin Xueyin's head, and seeing her coquettish expression, she chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll make it up to you. I'll protect you from now on, how about that?"
"I don't need your protection," she said, turning her head away and pouting.
"What exactly is the secret you're talking about? Is there anything about Greedy Wolf Stronghold that you don't know?"
"Of course, we still don't know how this Greedy Wolf Stronghold came to be in such a remote and impoverished place, or whether the disappearance of the adventurers was related to them. Finally, and most importantly, who has been passing information to them all these years, causing the Imperial Army's suppression efforts to fail time and time again?"
Nodding thoughtfully, Lin Xueyin also remembered that if this Greedy Wolf Stronghold didn't have some powerful backer, how could it possibly appear in such a place? Moreover, how did that necromancer manage to turn such a large stronghold into zombies? You know, there are requirements for becoming a zombie; at the very least, one must maintain the integrity of their body.
Moreover, based on the abilities displayed by the necromancer, the final boss had no chance of successfully transforming the final zombie, yet the zombie truly existed.
"Right, Yukine, let's not think about this for now. Shouldn't we be thinking about what to do next?"
"Huh? What do you mean, 'later'?" A sudden wave of panic washed over her, and her beautiful eyes began to dart around erratically.
"What do you mean, you'll come back to the academy with me later? Have you forgotten about that?" Seeing that Lin Xueyin was obviously flustered and pretending to be stupid, Ailiya's heart sank. Could this girl be going back on her word again?
Upon hearing what had happened, Lin Xueyin felt a sense of relief for some reason, but also a slight sense of loss.
So, I really am the kind of hentai protagonist who wants to take every beautiful woman he sees into his harem. Even if I were to become a beautiful woman myself, it wouldn't change my manly heart, much less my overwhelming domineering nature.
Then, he naturally accepted Aria's invitation and went with her to that academy in the capital, I don't know what it was called.
Thinking about the townspeople's reluctance to part when she left, Lin Xueyin felt an indescribable emotion welling up in her heart, especially the cart full of food. Although it was all very ordinary food, it was the only thing the townspeople could offer.
There was no attempt to persuade him to stay, perhaps just as the short, stout, half-bald mayor, who had never appeared before, finally showed up at the last minute, had said.
I knew from the beginning that this town couldn't possibly hold a great deity, and I was already content just to stay here for one more day.
As the wheels slowly moved forward, and the figures of those still craning their necks to see her off at the town gate gradually disappeared from sight, for some reason, Lin Xueyin felt her eyes sting. She apologized and returned to the carriage.
The mercenaries had already spent the night at Greed Wolf Stronghold. Although the town's guards had taken back the treasure and were waiting for the imperial troops to come and take it, who could guarantee that there wasn't any other treasure in the stronghold?
Driven by greed, many mercenaries came here after learning that the Greedy Wolf Stronghold had been wiped out overnight. They searched the entire stronghold from top to bottom, but still found nothing.
As night fell, the group had no choice but to stay in the mountain stronghold. Fortunately, it was well-preserved, with many former bandit rooms available for them to live in.
As night deepened, a faint, invisible black gas began to emanate from a secluded wooden cabin.
As the evening breeze continued to spread, it seemed to be blocked by something, unable to reach the area around the mountain stronghold. Thus, the entire stronghold was shrouded in darkness by this ominous black aura.
The crimson full moon shone on the mountain village at this moment, and everything drifted further and further away into the unknown.
The next chapter will be set in a different world. I've always wanted to depict a realistic alternate world, but my writing skills are still limited. I can only hope that you readers can give me some suggestions.
Later on, a completely new world will gradually be revealed. Of course, it will mainly unfold through the protagonist's travels. So please look forward to it!
Volume Two: The Academy Chapter One: First Arrival in the Capital
After a long and enjoyable journey, Ailiya, carrying Lin Xueyin who was already feeling a bit weak from the long trip, finally arrived at this magnificent city.
Although I was somewhat prepared, I was still awestruck by the magnificent city of the capital, even though, as a Chinese person, I am familiar with the majestic Great Wall.
However, the Great Wall is only in length. The sheer size of the city, equivalent to Beijing, enclosed by these magnificent walls that are over twenty meters high, was enough to make Lin Xueyin lose her composure.
This is terrifying! This isn't one of those mountain cities built around mountains; it's a massive city built on a plain without any terrain support, and it's even surrounded by walls. It's practically a miracle!
Carriages flowed like water, horses galloped like dragons, and pedestrians thronged the massive city gate. Lin Xueyin suddenly felt a tremor in her heart. As the carriage slowly entered, besides some green vegetation on both sides of the road, there were several huge bronze statues. The lifelike sculptures made Lin Xueyin admire the craftsmen of this other world.
The wide road was wide enough for four carriages to travel side by side. The smooth road was just like the main thoroughfare of a major city on Earth. It was clean and hygienic, and the pedestrians and shops on both sides were also very popular.
Pointing to the towering bronze statues that kept appearing, Lin Xueyin was a little confused. If these were statues of kings, why weren't they all gathered together and erected? Why were they appearing on both sides of the road from time to time?
"Aria, what are those bronze statues for?"
"You mean those bronze statues? Those are heroes of our human race. Some are marshals, some are generals, and of course, some may be ordinary soldiers, mercenaries, or priests."
No wonder, these people are all dressed differently. Lin Xueyin carefully observed these bronze statues and couldn't help but admire these rulers. Placing these bronze statues on both sides of the road was simply telling people that no matter where you are or what you are doing, as long as you can contribute to the empire, you will receive this supreme glory.
"Yukine, I need to go see the teacher first, you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xueyin understood what Ailiya meant. Ailiya needed to report for duty, but she had nowhere to go, so she thought...
“I’ll go with you. It’s perfect. I can also meet your teacher. Didn’t you say that I need your teacher’s recommendation to go to the academy? Wouldn’t it be a good way to solve this together?”
Of course, that's not the point. The point is, didn't you recruit me for help under your teacher's name? That was a considerable sum of money, at least 20 gold coins.
20 gold coins! That means I can upgrade quite a few skills. Lin Xueyin suddenly felt that her future was a bright and promising road waiting for her.
On the crowded road, the carriage moved slowly and steadily forward. It felt like these roads were not much different from those on Earth. The functions of the lanes were also different. For example, there was a carriage lane in the center, riding lanes on both sides, and pedestrian lanes at the very edge, just like on Earth.
Of course, there are some distinctions. At some intersections, there are directional magic circles. Those who can pass will open the magic circle to pass together, while those who cannot will be restricted by magic. This way, the road is kept open to the greatest extent possible.
Indeed, just as technology has its own direction of civilizational development, magic will naturally develop its own unique magical civilization, and neither should say that the other is inferior.
Whether there was some shady dealing involved or not, Lin Xueyin didn't encounter any restrictive formations and arrived at the Imperial Guard's headquarters without any problems.
The soldiers at the gate dutifully blocked Aria and the carriage behind her, insisting that the carriage must be parked outside according to regulations, even after she showed her pass.
Therefore, Lin Xueyin, who was already limp, had to be helped down from the carriage by Ailiya again. Although her cute and beautiful face made the guards gasp and subconsciously put on their best posture, none of them loosened their grip in the slightest.
The fact that the guards didn't grant any special privileges simply because the other person was the commander's disciple is something Lin Xueyin really appreciates. Similarly, Ailiya didn't force herself to receive special privileges because of her master; she merely inquired briefly, and when she learned that leniency wasn't possible, she didn't hold a grudge against the soldiers.
Indeed, the human empire has its reasons for standing strong; at least for now, it still maintains a positive atmosphere.
"Haha, little girl, you're finally back. How was your trip? I heard you encountered some great danger."
A man who wasn't particularly strong, dressed in a casual military uniform, walked towards Ailiya from a distance. His stubborn expression, evident at a glance, suddenly made Lin Xueyin wonder if there was something wrong with her letter of recommendation.
Alone, squatting by the door, Lin Xueyin couldn't hear a thing of the conversation between the master and disciple inside. She could only stare helplessly, waiting for the other party to finish their routine questioning.
The creaking sound of the door opening finally broke Lin Xueyin's boredom. She excitedly stood up and saw Ailiya looking at her happily, shaking a large letter of recommendation and a large money bag in front of her, making a metallic clanging sound.
"Xueyin, I have lived up to your expectations. I have brought you the letter of recommendation and your reward."
"Huh? Really? Let me see!" Happiness came too suddenly, making Lin Xueyin a little incredulous. She jumped up and pounced on Ailiya, snatching the golden pouch she had been longing for.
