So I'm a sheep.

Even Sasha would never have imagined that the guy in front of her didn't think highly of her at all and was almost certain that the next operation would fail.

"Leave it to me!"

Having not been out for a long time, Sasha ran around the Marquis's mansion.

He then asked the maid to prepare three days' worth of dry rations and set off excitedly.

Arriving at the bean tree, the girl solemnly drew out the flawless lake light.

She's about to do something amazing, and if she succeeds, her childhood dream will come true!

'He cleaved a large, slanted opening, then kicked the towering tree down with a final blow.'

At this point, Ankang disregarded his grudge and promptly offered a reminder.

"kindness"

The girl nodded, then swung her sword down with both hands!

"..."

Late at night, Pepin was about to fall asleep when he suddenly seemed to remember something and beckoned to the knight, asking, "Has Sariel returned?"

"My lord, not yet."

not yet?

He was just bragging and ran away because he was too ashamed to face anyone.

Or perhaps they really are trying to cut down trees?

"Go check under the bean tree, and come back quickly!"

"Yes!"

Pepin paced back and forth a few times, somewhat agitated, before giving a self-deprecating laugh.

What's going on? Do you actually have some expectations for that guy?

..................................

"My lord, Lady Saliye is chopping down the tree with her sword, and she has already made a notch!"

"..."

Pepin didn't react at first, and asked blankly, "What did you say?"

After the knight repeated his words, the Minister of the Palace immediately jumped out of bed.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Come with me... no, let the kitchen prepare the midnight snack first."

"Get the water ready, and also some thick cotton coats!"

"Wake up those bastards again! Lady Saliye is fighting for the kingdom, while the rest of the warriors are all fast asleep?"

"That's outrageous!"

Before long, the entire Marquis's mansion was filled with noise.

Some were surprised, some disbelieving, and some jealous.

Regardless of what she was thinking, with Pepin around and Camilla bedridden, no one could trip Sasha up at this crucial moment.

A group of people hurriedly set off and arrived at the bean tree. Sure enough, the girl was vigorously wielding her sword!

"Your Excellency Saliye, are you thirsty? Are you hungry?"

Pepin ran over and asked with concern, "Should we find someone else to take over?"

"Thank goodness, give me some water."

Sasha took the water bag with one hand and gulped down the water. She said, "There's no way to switch people. Only I can use this sword."

Volume 1: Chapter 674 Talent Inheritance

Is the sword meant to be used only by the user?

Upon hearing this, many people immediately showed indignation.

That's an obvious excuse; you just want to claim all the credit!

If you really cut down the tree, you'll definitely get a share of the fiefdom.

The other one, unsurprisingly, fell to Maureen.

This will leave everyone without any hope, how can this be allowed!

“Sariye, you never used your sword before the Prime Minister came. We had no idea you actually had a divine weapon!”

These words were pointed, and the crowd began to stir.

"We have a divine weapon, but we couldn't use it before."

The person in question remained silent, focused on chopping down the tree, while Pepin chuckled and explained the situation to her.

When the girl's story was repeated, apart from Maureen who seemed to believe it somewhat, everyone else did not.

The atmosphere gradually became strange. If the knights hadn't been watching them closely, these people would probably have immediately thrown things into chaos!

'tsk'

Pepin clicked his tongue inwardly, but he suppressed his displeasure and said gently, "I heard that apart from the bottom cover, the Marquis has not promised anything else?"

After receiving affirmative answers from everyone, the Prime Minister's face showed displeasure.

"Doesn't this mean that apart from the two biggest winners, all the other hardworking warriors will get nothing?"

"No, this won't do!"

Seeing that things had suddenly taken a turn for the better, everyone looked at Pepin expectantly, hoping that he could make the decision for them.

"After this is over, all warriors can wait in Danlu City."

"I will definitely recommend everyone for credit when I get back, and they will certainly receive plenty of gold and silver."

"Even a title... is something to look forward to!"

The gold and silver treasures are real, but the titles are another story; even a nominal title couldn't possibly be bestowed with so much at once.

Pepin didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer, only saying that people could look forward to it, since the most important thing at this time was to give everyone something to hope for.

Sure enough, these words immediately eased the tension considerably.

...........................................

He chopped from midnight until dawn, and from dawn until afternoon.

Pepin was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but the girl seemed to have endless energy, her pace of chopping down the tree not slowing down at all.

Seeing Pepin yawning repeatedly, someone said ingratiatingly, "Prime Minister, we've got you here to keep watch. You should go back and rest."

"Not bad!"

"Your Excellency, you've worked hard. Go back now and leave this to us."

Pepin was about to agree when Maureen suddenly cried out in alarm, "Oh no! A giant is coming down!"

Everyone quickly looked up, squinting, and could vaguely make out the outlines of several giants.

“Four giants!” the warrior with the best eyesight exclaimed.

"Your Excellency Saliye, please pause!"

Pepin hurriedly said, "Come back with me and rest for a while. We'll come back and continue hacking away after the warriors have dealt with the giants that have come down."

The girl's hands kept moving as she said in a deep voice, "The bean tree has a powerful self-healing ability. I can't stop now, otherwise all my previous efforts will be in vain."

"It's alright, just four giants. I'll take care of them as soon as they come down!"

What a boastful tone!

But isn't this just right?

“Your Excellency, Lady Sariel possesses divine power; she will surely be able to easily defeat the giants.”

"That's right, let's move aside and let her have her way."

As everyone started talking at once, Pepin frowned deeply.

He didn't care about the girl's life; what he feared was that the statement, "Only I can use this sword," was true.

'Damn it, did Sally anticipate this situation and say that on purpose?'

'She is most likely lying...'

But what if it's true?

What if something goes wrong again after the first one?

.........................................

“Saliye, I’ll help you take care of one or two giants in a bit.”

Having said that, Maureen looked around at the warriors and shouted, "Now is the time for everyone to unite as one, for the kingdom, for glory!"

"..."

A few people responded, but most looked at the female archer with disdain.

For the kingdom, or for glory?

They really are children of noble birth; their words are as good as farting!

“Maureen, you have the ability to deal with the giants while they are awake, but I don’t.”

Someone said coldly, "It's fine to make a move after the giant falls asleep. Although the fiefdom is probably out of the question, let's just do it to give the Minister of the Palace some face."

"You think you can send me to my death with just a word? No way!"

Maureen frowned: "Sariel can't stop. I've already reached my limit dealing with two giants..."

"fine"

Sasha suddenly interjected, "Maureen, do you see the iron spear on the ground?"
