I know, I know what? You're holding a wooden gun, a wooden gun! You're telling me you're a priest? Are you kidding me? What priest would go around stabbing people with a wooden gun?
She rolled her eyes at Lin Xueyin, but she was still a little excited. At least with a priest in her team, the mission would be much smoother.
"Captain, our injuries have almost healed. Why don't we go search for those wind wolves? This group of wind wolves is lingering near the town, which will affect our logistical supplies."
"You guys, let's head back to town first. We're running low on supplies right now, so we'll come back another time."
"But Captain, we have a priest now, we can clearly continue forward, so why?"
"Forget it, we don't know what's going on inside. If we go any deeper, we might get ambushed by those wind wolves. We should go back and fix things first. Besides, Blue and the others need a quiet place to recover."
"Huh? Captain, I'm all better now, I don't need to recuperate anymore. This girl is amazing, I'm already... Okay, I'll go recuperate."
Startled by the sudden, murderous glare, the man named Blue could only shrink back, indicating his support for the captain's opinion.
Volume One: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter Three: The Town
"Aria, um, are priests very rare?"
Unable to contain his curiosity, he sat on the simple carriage, which didn't even have a cloak, and peeked out at Aria, who was riding a horse and walking beside the carriage.
"Hurry up and wipe your face. Honestly, you're walking into town with your face all dirty." Instead of answering Lin Xueyin's question, he handed her a clean handkerchief.
"Huh? Is my face dirty?" Lin Xueyin then realized that when she was fighting those wind wolves, her face was covered in sweat, and when dust hit her face, her whole face was covered in dust.
Taking the wet towel from Aria, he carefully wiped the dust off his face, only to hear gasps of surprise coming from those around him.
"Are you Yukine?"
Her pretty face slowly appeared before everyone's eyes as she was wiped with a towel, just like an ugly duckling gradually transforming into a swan in people's eyes.
Her long, golden hair was neatly tied back into a beautiful ponytail, her deep blue eyes were like shimmering autumn water, and her soft, cherry-red lips held a silent smile.
Her delicate features, combined with her innocent and pure features, created a picture of a young girl in the eyes of others. This not only attracted the attention of the soldiers who had lived in the military camp for a long time, but also captivated the gaze of Aria, who was herself a beautiful woman.
Is there a problem with that?
Lin Xueyin, now under everyone's gaze, seemed somewhat at a loss. The former otaku had suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, and he felt a little guilty.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, Yukine, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful."
A warning look swept over the group, who awkwardly snorted and turned back to continue their previous banter. However, their previously unrestrained conversation now seemed somewhat restrained.
If you look closely, you'll see that the soldiers around them are secretly glancing at Lin Xueyin while they're talking.
"Xueyin, where are you from? Have you really always lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"
Riding her horse, she approached the carriage where Lin Xueyin was sitting with concern. Ailiya was still somewhat suspicious of Lin Xueyin, who had suddenly appeared in the mountains. After seeing her face, she became even more wary of her appearance.
Noticing the slight wariness in the other person's eyes, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but smile wryly. She couldn't very well tell her that just a week ago, she was a happy, carefree homebody on Earth.
Of course, even if I told her, she wouldn't believe me. Instead, she would feel even more that I was deceiving her. I have to say, it seems that I don't need the advice of those predecessors who traveled through time.
Especially the amnesia storyline, it's completely unsuitable for this situation. I should have said that I was a priest who got lost in the mountains. Lin Xueyin's behavior at this moment, which made her a little flustered by the other party's questioning, was even more suspicious.
"What, is there something you can't tell us? Or are you not even human?"
"Of course not, I am human. I just don't know how to tell you. I came to this world and lived here with my friend. But she suddenly disappeared, so I came out to look for her. I really know nothing about the outside world."
Lin Xueyin waved her hands repeatedly to show that everything she said was true. As the two were talking back and forth, a small town came into view.
A small wooden plaque was engraved with some characters that Lin Xueyin was not familiar with. When Ailiya pointed it out, her first reaction was to shake her head, indicating that she did not recognize the characters at all.
This performance somewhat dispelled the other party's suspicions. After all, it was quite unusual for someone so old not to recognize human writing.
However, this alone is not enough to dispel the suspicions about her. Although Ailiya brought Lin Xueyin back despite the opposition, it was also because of the uncertainty surrounding her. If a problem were to occur, the entire team would probably be wiped out.
"Xueyin, this is Yorktown, the last human town near the Ten Thousand Mountains, and also the town closest to the demons. It's full of mercenaries and some... Oh my god, where are you going?"
"Um, just a moment, there's someone injured here, I'll heal him." As she spoke, she took it upon herself to cast a healing spell on a soldier using crutches.
Although it was slow, it was clear that the soldier was gradually able to walk on his own. Seeing Lin Xueyin's powerful healing abilities again, Ailiya was still full of praise. If this girl was really innocent, then when she returned to the academy, she could take her with her and have her team up with her. Wouldn't that make them invincible?
There are many ways to manage the baggage for a march, but there are few solutions for soldiers' injuries and illnesses during a march. Apart from having a large number of priests and doctors, it is very difficult to solve these problems.
However, doctors are relatively easy to find, but priests are extremely rare. In the entire human empire, there are very few who can be called priests, and they are basically guests of honor of the major legions.
As if she had done something insignificant, Lin Xueyin finally focused her attention on the town, a typical Western town with various wooden houses standing on the not-so-wide streets, people coming and going, making her car constantly stop and start.
The wooden houses on both sides are not just people's homes, but many shops, some are weapon shops, some are pharmacies, some are material shops, or some other shops that are not suitable for my current identity to enter. They are generally open at night.
The hotel and inns have everything you could need; it's like a small but complete place.
"Alright, we've arrived in town. So, do you have anywhere you want to go?"
"Where to go?" Suddenly, I realized that even if I came out, I was just a rootless duckweed, with nowhere to stay and no meaning to my existence.
I used to think that watching anime about the meaning of existence was a bit childish and silly. But now that it's happening to me, I realize that without that sense of existence, the sadness and loneliness that arise in my heart will continue to gnaw at my already fragile heart.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Don't you have anywhere to go? If you don't mind, how about coming to our place? It's a bit simple, but there's still room for people."
He gently extended his hand to Lin Xueyin, and under her somewhat flustered gaze, he tightly grasped her trembling hand.
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Nanny - Chapter 4: Mercenaries
The army's barracks—I rested there last night, not with a bunch of men, but with Aria, who brought me there.
Here, I also saw the exquisite curves hidden by the plate armor. Yes, this is a different kind of beauty, a beauty full of fitness and wildness. Long-term exercise has made this delicate body lack the softness of a typical woman, but instead has a strong feeling.
Lin Xueyin slept in the same bed with Ailiya, who held her tightly as if she were a pillow. She felt really bad, since she was the one who should have taken the initiative, but the two beauties she met treated her like a pillow.
Lin Xueyin stretched out in front of Ailiya's door with a big yawn, and gave a pleasant smile to the soldiers who greeted her, her pearly teeth peeking out from between her slightly parted cherry lips.
Watching the shy young soldiers hurry past her with such embarrassment, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but chuckle. But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she had made the men blush, emmmm, there was a very uncomfortable feeling about it.
"Yukino, what's wrong? Aren't you cold standing at the door? The morning breeze here is quite chilly." After the two of them had a deep understanding of each other last night (it really was a deep understanding, please don't make any assumptions).
Aria's wariness of Lin Xueyin lessened somewhat. At least for a girl who was completely ignorant of the world, calling her a spy would be giving her too much credit.
At least she doesn't know the most basic things about this world, such as the situation of the empire, the demon empire, the northern beastman alliance, and the southern elven forest. She is completely unaware of these things, let alone the most basic professional classifications.
"Ah, Arya, you've come. I was just a little unsure where to go."
With her head bowed slightly in embarrassment, Lin Xueyin felt her face flush as she thought about how she had slept in the other person's arms all night. In particular, the feeling of Ailiya's muscular body, which was strong from long-term exercise, holding her tightly made Lin Xueyin feel a little dizzy.
"Hey, come on, I'll take you to have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to buy some clothes. It's not very nice of you to always wear this linen dress."
"Huh? Going to buy clothes? My clothes are fine, I don't think I need to." Upon hearing that he was going out shopping, whether it was a survival instinct or the inherent homebody nature of a shut-in, he blurted out a refusal without thinking.
"No, look at you, this is all the clothes you have. Are you planning to wear them for the rest of your life?" Lin Xueyin stretched out her slightly dirty linen clothes, which made her laugh awkwardly.
"Don't give me any nonsense here. This is an order, and you can't refuse." He pulled Lin Xueyin and headed towards the cafeteria.
No matter where they are, soldiers always have very tight meal times. At least in Lin Xueyin's opinion, she hadn't even eaten a few bites of bread when Ailiya had already swept all the breakfast off her plate into her stomach like leaves in the wind.
He wiped his mouth, without even asking Lin Xueyin how the food was, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and rushed outside. It has to be said that Lin Xueyin felt like a rag doll at this moment, being dragged here and left there by the other person.
"Hey, Aria, can you slow down a bit?" Lin Xueyin, who was panting from the other's rapid pace, really couldn't keep up. This girl couldn't be viewed as an ordinary woman at all; she was more like a tomboy.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you."
Looking at the panting Lin Xueyin, Ailiya belatedly realized that the other party was just a priest, not a warrior like herself, and there was still some difference in physical strength.
At this moment, Lin Xueyin was lamenting to herself that she really hadn't changed her stamina attribute back then. She thought stamina was useless, but well, she ended up being looked down upon by the girl.
"Xueyin, the largest clothing market in the area is not far ahead. Let's go inside and take a look."
"The clothing market? No rush. Look over there, so many people with weapons going in and out. What kind of place is that?"
Following Lin Xueyin's slender, jade-like fingers, Aria shook her head. This girl really didn't know anything. "That's the Mercenary Guild in Yorktown."
"Ha, that's the Mercenary Guild. Wow, is the Mercenary Guild in a small town this luxurious?"
Looking at the large three-story building, the interior must be even more extravagant. It's hard to imagine that such an extravagant guild exists in a small town.
"Of course not. This is a small town on the border with the Demon Realm, and it's one of the few towns near the Ten Thousand Mountains. It's also a town right next to the border. That's why the Mercenary Guild here spent a lot of money to renovate it, and that's why it looks like this now."
Blinking her eyes, Lin Xueyin seemed to understand something. Although this place was not large, its geographical location was excellent, and it could be said to be one of the main sources of income for mercenaries.
"Um, could we go take a look?"
As a time traveler, how could I not go and check out the Mercenary Guild when I saw it? According to the script, I should go to the Mercenary Guild, register as a mercenary, and then be discovered to have powerful magic and potential during the test. This would start my extraordinary life and my journey to build my Crystal Palace.
However, as it turns out, she was overthinking it. Would Aria listen to her opinion? Would she abandon her own plans because of her opinion? Impossible.
Before Lin Xueyin could take two steps in that direction, the other person grabbed her hand tightly and stared at her with stern eyes.
"You really don't know how to protect yourself. Do you think you can go there? Even if the other party doesn't really do anything to you, you'll still be the one who suffers in this chaotic place."
Faced with this little girl who had absolutely no self-awareness, Aria really had no other way but to use the tough suppression she had learned in the army.
Although she was somewhat resistant to what the other person said, Lin Xueyin still reflected on it carefully. It seemed that what the other person said was not wrong. In any case, she still needed to learn how to protect herself.
That's what she thought, but looking longingly at the Mercenary Guild, which wasn't far from her, Lin Xueyin still felt reluctant to leave.
Volume 1: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter 5 Mission
Time passed slowly, and Aria led her squad out to search for something. It seemed they had some kind of mission, which made sense, considering the town's garrison treated them with utmost respect and were vastly different in terms of equipment.
Gradually, Lin Xueyin learned that Ailiya led one of the Empire's most elite troops, the Imperial Guard, so their equipment was also very sophisticated.
Lin Xueyin wasn't idle either; she became their full-time priest in the military camp, earning a decent salary of 10 gold coins a month, which was reportedly paid directly by Ailiya's master.
Honestly, having a master who cares so much about his apprentice is a very fortunate thing. Of course, for Lin Xueyin, this job also helped her solve her immediate problem—she was short of money.
Before, when I lived in the mountains with Nana, she was the one who took the lead most of the time. I didn't use my skills much; I mostly used my cooking skills to satisfy her appetite.
Now that I'm out in the world, I have to rely on myself for everything. Without money, I can't do anything, like learning some skills.
Lin Xueyin had to admire her own brain. Why hadn't she unlocked all the skills back then? Now she had the level, but no money to upgrade her skills. Looking at the golden "+" signs flashing on the skill icons, Lin Xueyin felt her hands tremble.
How much money would that cost? It only costs a few copper coins to level up a level 1 skill, but the cost increases exponentially with level. With my current net worth, I can't even get a level 1 skill, let alone the top level.
So when Arya asked him to be their priest in the military camp, he agreed without hesitation. Money isn't everything, but without money, nothing is possible.
While Lin Xueyin used her skills to heal the injured mercenary in front of her, her mind was filled with random thoughts. Ailiya had been gone for several days, and in those days, people had gradually become aware of her identity as a priest.
Many mercenaries would come to her for treatment after being injured. Since she already had a salary, Lin Xueyin foolishly did not provide these impoverished mercenaries with any free treatment.
After all, going out isn't easy, is it? I should help as much as I can, since I have plenty of mana anyway; I set my health and mana to the maximum level back then.
Lin Xueyin gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, which had been dripping with sweat from her busy work, but her face was full of smiles. As a pastor, she had found something she could do that suited her, and in this unfamiliar world, she had found a sense of purpose in her existence.
