Looking at Lamia rubbing her paws, Elina couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. This girl was really easy to bribe.
······
At this moment, in a castle in the Eternal Night formation of the Shengbo Defense Line, a middle-aged vampire count was looking intently at the map in front of him. The count was wearing a well-tailored tuxedo, and his noble status made his temperament majestic without even being angry.
Around him were many viscounts, all of whom were dark nobles who commanded heavy troops in the Saint-Beau defense line. They were now discussing around this map.
It is obvious that the dark races of the Shengbo Line of Defense are about to make a big move.
“Sir, this time we have assembled a hundred thousand monsters, hundreds of barons and dozens of viscounts. In addition, your strength has broken through again. The Radiant Knight on the opposite side will definitely not be your opponent. Once you have entangled the Radiant Knight, I will lead the main force to attack from the front, and Viscount Simel will lead another team to attack from behind. We will definitely win in one battle!”
After everyone finished discussing, the last person to speak was a viscount wearing a red bow tie. He smashed the Saint Bo Fortress on the map hard and showed a ferocious smile.
His words completely aroused the viciousness of the dark nobles.
They, the dark race, have been fighting with the human army in the Saint Bo Fortress for many years, and this time the winner will finally be decided!
"Well, next, I command!"
After listening to the viscount's speech, the earl nodded and issued the final order.
When they heard the order, all the viscounts straightened their bodies involuntarily.
"Order! Once all the barons are in place, the army will launch a general attack according to the predetermined plan!"
"Yes!"
Many dark nobles said yes.
"Let's fight it out, human."
Looking at the numerous subordinates in the field, the Earl's eyes gradually turned red. The disastrous defeat ten years ago was still deeply engraved in his mind.
Chapter 20 Do you want to be a professional?
"Sir, why are you suddenly summoning several nearby village chiefs?"
As soon as she returned to the village, Elina responded to the villagers' thanks and then immediately found the village chief. After all, the village chief was most familiar with the situation around the village.
"I have an important matter that I want to discuss with everyone, so I would like to ask the village chief to invite them all over. Is there any difficulty?"
Elena sat at the head table in a wooden house, along with the village chief and Kyle.
As the two people who are mainly responsible for affairs outside the village, they are the best candidates to discuss this matter.
"It's not a big deal, except that our villages are mobile, so it will take some time to notify everyone."
Village chief Gary spoke slowly as he sat in his seat with his back hunched.
To be honest, the human villages outside the domain generally look after themselves. Even if they see something happening in a neighboring village, they generally won't lend a hand. After all, the strength of the dark race outside the domain is too strong, and no one wants to cause trouble.
Because of this, there is very little communication between villages, but if there is something that really needs to be notified, it can be done with some effort.
“How long will it take exactly?”
"Hmm...about seven or eight days."
The person who answered was Kyle, who often went out and was familiar with this matter.
"Okay, then please ask the village chief to arrange for them to hold a meeting here in ten days."
After hearing what Elina said, the village chief said he didn't dare, but he had another problem.
"Sir, there is no problem in notifying us here, but it is unclear whether they will come or not."
Gary frowned. After all, the environment outside the domain was too dangerous. If it was not something particularly important, the villagers would generally not go too far away from the village.
"That's easy. I have some broken gems here. As long as they agree to come, I can give one to each village chief."
As she spoke, Elina took out a handful of neatly shaped gems from her pocket and scattered them on the table.
These gems are of different colors and sparkle brightly under the sunlight. Although they are very small, you can tell at a glance that they are worth a lot of ducats.
"Gulu."
Looking at the gems on the table, Kyle swallowed.
Life outside the region was very difficult, and all kinds of daily necessities were very scarce. Although big merchants came out of the region every month, it was impossible to exchange things without Ducat.
However, it is very difficult to accumulate wealth outside the domain. After all, they have no place to live and cannot farm. They cannot make much money by relying on robbery and a small amount of handicrafts.
But these gems are different. The ducats that can be exchanged for these gems are enough for their village’s food and drink expenses for more than five years.
With this wealth, he could even organize a 30-man light-armored infantry squad! That way, he wouldn't have to worry about encountering low-level monsters like goblins.
Thinking of this, Kyle's eyes became red. After all, this was the first time he had seen so much wealth.
As if he had noticed Kyle's misbehavior, the village chief coughed twice and said with a smile, "With these gems from the adults, there will be no problem. These gems are enough for them to make a trip."
"I'm sorry, sir. I lost my temper."
Kyle realized that he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his head. He almost lost his mind because of these gems. He was really too immature.
"It's okay. Money can move people's hearts. I can understand that."
Elina smiled and continued.
"Besides, how could I let you run for nothing?"
As he spoke, he took out a gold ingot and placed it on the table.
Looking at the gold ingot weighing half a pound on the table, Kyle almost drooled. This thing is much better than those gems. It is hard currency.
As expected of a glorious lord, he is very generous.
Village chief Gary looked at the gems and gold ingots on the table and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had never seen so many treasures in his life.
"Dong dong dong."
Just as everyone was discussing, there was a knock on the door.
"Village Chief, the tea is here."
A slightly childish girl's voice came from outside the door.
When she heard this voice, Elina knew that the future protagonist had appeared.
"come in."
As expected, the person who came in was Leia with her iconic red hair. After being cleaned, Leia looked even more charming. Although she was wearing dirty and torn clothes, her light golden eyes, cute and plump lips, and small and delicate nose all indicated how stunning the owner of this body would be in the future.
"My Lord, Leah apologizes to you for what happened yesterday."
Leia put down her tea and bowed respectfully to apologize. Through today's battle, she knew that the lord in front of her was different from the great noble they met before.
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart, don't worry about it."
Elina waved her hand, signaling Leah not to worry too much. It was not a big deal in the first place, and she was always very tolerant towards pretty girls.
"Then, if your Excellency does not need anything, I will withdraw first."
Leia bowed again and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Elena called him.
"Um, Miss Leah, have you ever thought about becoming a formal professional?"
"what?"
When Leia heard this, she didn't react at once. She turned around with a look of surprise and looked at Elena who was sitting quietly in the first seat. Her light golden eyes were full of surprise.
"Sir, are you saying that Leah has the potential to become a professional?!"
Among the people in the room, the village chief was the first to react. He stood up with an excited look on his face.
"Is this true, my lord?"
Soon after, Kyle also reacted and was equally excited.
Since the Lord has said this, then Leia must have the possibility of becoming a formal professional.
You can't blame them for being excited, because not everyone can be a formal professional.
If you just register as an apprentice, it is of course very easy, but it is difficult to become a formal professional.
First of all, the lack of talent has blocked countless people, and even if you have talent, you still need the guidance of teachers and seniors and your own hard work to become a real professional from an apprentice. And only when you become a real professional can you become a professional of the earth, sky or even glory level.
A formal professional is far superior to ordinary people in both status and strength.
It can be said that as long as you become a formal professional, you will not be bullied outside the domain.
"Well, Leah has the talent, and with my guidance, it shouldn't be a problem."
Elina nodded. Training Leia was an important part of her plan and nothing could go wrong.
Chapter 21: Call me Teacher Elina
"Leah, why are you still in a daze? Thank the master!"
After hearing what Elina said, the village chief hurried to Leah's side, pulled Leah, and woke up Leah who was still in shock.
This opportunity is extremely rare, especially for people from outside the region, it is something that can only be encountered by chance.
“But I…”
Facing the expectant gazes of the village chief and Kyle, Leia was a little hesitant. She was afraid that she would disappoint everyone's hopes and the adults' kindness.
Since she was born, she has been living in war and leading a precarious life. She has never thought that one day she will have the opportunity to become a formal professional. She is not mentally prepared yet.
"Don't hesitate, Miss Leah, just tell me whether you want to or not."
Alina quietly walked in front of Leah, pressed her shoulders and stared at her. Through the mask, her blue eyes seemed to pierce Leah's soul.
At this moment, pictures flashed through Leia's mind.
Back then, her father died tragically at the hands of the dark race, and her mother died at the hands of that damned nobleman's sword. When the disaster happened, she could only cry helplessly, praying to God that someone would come to help them, but no, no one ever came to save them, there was only endless death and despair.
"Leah! Take your sister and follow mom and go quickly! Dad will help you buy time!"
"Leah, you must live well with Hill!"
"Leah told Hill that mom will always love you."
The last words of her parents echoed in Leia's ears. The memories of blood and fire awakened in her mind again. The mighty army of the dark race and the powerful human noble swordsmen were like endless darkness, swallowing her up bit by bit and oppressing her to the point where she couldn't breathe.
Leia was fed up with this feeling of powerlessness. She still had Hill to protect and she had to fulfill her duties as a sister!
Thinking of this, Leah's originally hesitant face became firm. She bent her knees and half-knelt in front of Elena, shouting in an almost choked voice.
"Sir! I want to become a formal professional! I dream about it! Please, help me become a formal professional!"
"What profession do you want to practice?" Elina asked softly.
"Swordsman-in-training!"
Without any hesitation, Leah directly answered Elena's question.
One day she will avenge her father and mother. She will use her sword to burn the flame of revenge, defeat the dark races that are rampant outside the domain, and use the same swordsmanship to completely shatter everything that damn noble has, including his life and pride!
"I see."
Elina stroked Leah's face, said nothing more, and walked out the door.
Looking at Elina leaving, the village chief and Kyle were stunned. Did this mean she agreed or not?
Leia was also a little at a loss. She began to blame herself. Could it be that her hesitation just now made the adults give up the idea of cultivating her?
"Leah, a swordsman is one who has the courage to cut through everything. In times of crisis, just trust the sword in your hand."
Alina said softly, her back turned to Leah.
"yes·······"
Leah looked at Elena's back with some confusion.
"By the way, from now on, don't call me adult. Call me Teacher Elina."
Just as Elina walked to the door, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around, leaned against the door frame, and said with a smile.
After saying this, Elina put on her cloak, put on her hood, and flew away with a whoosh using flying magic.
When Leia heard this, she reacted immediately. A blush of excitement appeared on her face, making the already beautiful girl even more radiant.
"Yes! Teacher Elina!"
