"Grandpa Gary? Grandpa Gary?"

Just when everyone was excited, Leah gently pushed Village Chief Gary, who seemed to be asleep.

After seeing that Village Chief Gary did not give her any response, Leah could not help but shed tears slowly. She knew that the old man who had always treated her and Hill as family members had left her forever.

Leah slowly hugged Village Chief Gary and whispered:

"Grandpa Gary, don't worry. I will definitely realize your dream with Teacher Elina."

As if she had noticed something wrong with Leah, Elina also put down the sword in her hand.

When she saw that Village Chief Gary had passed away, she bowed deeply in Gary's direction.

At the same time, almost all the citizens discovered that the village chief who had always treated every citizen kindly was no longer there.

"Crash."

The citizens who realized this half-knelt on the ground to bid farewell to the old man who had dedicated everything he had to the city of Yas.

"Village Chief Gary, I, Elina, thank you for everything you have done for Yas City. I am also proud to have met you."

Elina stood up and knocked heavily on her breastplate with her hands. She wanted to see off this respectable old man with the highest etiquette of a knight.

At the same time, she is also bidding farewell to an old era. From today on, a new era will begin outside the domain.

Chapter 69 Victoria's Concerns

A statue stands on an open space outside the city of Yas. This is the statue of Village Chief Gary. In order to commemorate all he has contributed to the city of Yas, the citizens of Yas decided to build a statue for Village Chief Gary.

On the base of the statue are engraved the contributions that Village Chief Gary made to the city and his life.

When Village Chief Gary was buried, Elina personally participated in the funeral. Leah, who had been pretending to be strong, finally lost control and burst into tears when she saw the last handful of soil covering the body.

From then on, she lost another relative. Now in this world, Leah only has two relatives, Elena and Hill.

Hearing Leah's crying, many of the original villagers of Yas Village couldn't help but shed tears. Even Kyle, who had always been very strong, couldn't help but turn his head away, not wanting others to see his sadness.

Village chief Gary has never put down this heavy responsibility since he took on it at the age of 40.

Over the years, they have gone through ups and downs together, and have been through life and death together. They have long been like family.

The rest of the citizens may have simply felt that they had lost a good leader, but the villagers of Yas Village felt that they had lost an old friend and an elder.

Elina stood quietly by the side, allowing Leah to release her emotions freely.

She knew that no matter what she said at this moment, it would be useless. Only time could slowly heal Leia's inner pain.

"Teacher Elina..."

Just as Elena stood aside in silence, Victoria came up from behind.

"What's wrong, Victoria?"

Looking at Victoria's somewhat solemn expression, Elena seemed to have guessed something and looked at her with a smile.

"Will the country you want to establish pose a threat to the human race? In other words, are you still on the side of the human race?"

Victoria hesitated for a long time, but finally asked the question with difficulty.

Although Elina was the mentor she respected and admired the most.

But as the princess of the empire and a member of the human race, she had to proceed from the perspective of the interests of the human race.

The declaration made by Teacher Elina a few days ago was truly terrifying.

It has a very strong appeal, and recently the citizens of Yas City have apparently fallen into a state of frenzy.

With the refugees and half-bloods united, plus someone as powerful as Mentor Elina, integrating the entire outside world is not just empty talk.

However, if this Yas City really becomes the Yas Kingdom, and if Mentor Elina really becomes the king of this country, how will she treat the human race?

Even Victoria was unsure about this.

She was really afraid that one day she would find herself standing on the opposite side of mentor Elina. If that really happened, she would feel more miserable than death.

Although the Empire and Yas City had signed a contract before, it was signed with Village Chief Gary, not with Teacher Elina.

If Teacher Elina doesn't comply...

Thinking of this, Victoria felt cold all over.

Sure enough.

After hearing what Victoria said, Elena showed an expression as if she had guessed it right.

Although Victoria is her student now, before that, her first identity was Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess.

Therefore, it is understandable to consider the issue from the perspective of the empire and humanity.

"Victoria, no matter what kind of country or force it is, it cannot exist alone. It needs to have certain relationships with surrounding countries or forces. This relationship can be an enemy or an ally. At least so far, the human race is still an ally in my mind. The growth of Yas City is also inseparable from the support of the human race."

Alina smiled and patted Victoria's shoulder, signaling her not to be nervous.

Originally, Elena created this city in order to provide a habitat for refugees and mixed-races from outside the territory, and she never thought of starting a war with anyone.

Moreover, among the human race, there are Village Chief Duncan, Dean Mellen, the Sword Master, the High Priest, the Knight King, the Golden Alchemist and the Grand Mage, and also Margaret.

There are too many people that Elina cherishes and values.

If they really fought with swords and met on the battlefield, Elina would not be able to bear it either.

"Is that so? That's great."

After getting Elena's answer, Victoria was visibly relieved.

To be honest, she has been feeling anxious ever since the Square Declaration was released.

What she feared most was that Mentor Elina would split with the human race in the future.

Now after getting a positive answer, she can finally rest assured.

"Okay, don't think so much. You are still just a princess. The most important thing is to complete your studies. As for those complicated diplomatic relations, I will naturally discuss them with your father."

As she said this, Alina gave Victoria a smile.

After the Dawn Conference, she had already expressed her intention, and now it was time to prepare to discuss the specific affairs of Yas City with His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire.

"Lady Elina, there is a group of people outside the door, led by someone who says her name is Lamia. She brings a group of students and wants to see you. What do you think..."

Just as Elena was negotiating with Victoria, a soldier in helmet and armor trotted up to her, half-knelt on the ground, and spoke respectfully.

"It's Teacher Lamia, Teacher Elina, it's Teacher Lamia who has brought the students here!"

After hearing the soldier's words, Victoria felt a little excited.

To be honest, she has been in Yas City for quite some time.

During this period of time, there was not a single acquaintance in the entire city. Here, she was an outsider, and inevitably, she would feel isolated, which was a very bad feeling.

Now that the students from Class D had finally arrived here, Victoria felt very close to them, so close that she no longer had her signature coldness.

"Well, I didn't expect them to act so quickly. Please invite them in. Bring Margaret and Lamia directly to my office. As for the others, arrange them in the hostel first." Elina nodded.

"Teacher Elina! I'm going with her too!"

After saying that, Victoria didn't wait for Elena's consent and ran after the soldier.

"It seems that this child has been really depressed during her time in Yas City."

Looking at Victoria who was anxious to greet them, Elina shook her head helplessly. Then she looked at the statue of Village Chief Gary again, bowed silently, and left the cemetery.

"Elina! You bastard disappeared for several days without any news. We were really worried about you, didn't you?!"

Elina was sitting in the room, and before she saw anyone, she heard Lamia's roar coming from a distance.

"Oh!"

Sure enough, the poor wooden door was kicked open by Lamia and turned into pieces.

"What's wrong with you? You're so angry."

Glancing at the wooden door that could no longer be saved, Elina looked at Lamia helplessly.

It's rare to see this guy get so angry.

"Ms. Elina, you really went too far this time."

Unfortunately, just after Lamia finished her rage, Margaret walked in with a scary smile on her face.

Although the smile on Margaret's face was very bright, it was not warm at all and was extremely cold.

When Elina heard Margaret call her "Miss Elina", she knew that Margaret was really angry this time.

Normally, Margaret would never add an honorific after her name.

"This happened suddenly, so I forgot to reply to you."

Faced with the double questioning from Lamia and Margaret, Elena had no choice but to admit her mistake.

"Okay, I admit it's all my fault this time."

"Of course it's your fault! You bastard! You didn't even tell us your exact location. We wouldn't know where to look for you even if we wanted to!!"

Looking at Elina who looked like a single woman, Lamia was really angry.

She really wanted to breathe dragon's breath at this bad guy.

This guy originally said he was going to rescue Victoria, but he hasn't been heard from for several days.

At the beginning, Lamia and Margaret thought that since Elina was so powerful, there shouldn't be any problems.

But as time went on, the two panicked and started to make wild guesses. Since there had been no information for such a long time, something must have happened. And with Elina's strength, if she encountered an accident, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

They even thought of the possibility of encountering the Dark Emperor.

Lamia wanted to look for him at first, but when she set out, she realized that she had no idea where this person had gone.

The outside world is so vast that if you look for it slowly, it will take you forever to find it.

In this way, the two of them spent day after day in worry until the day they received Elena's letter.

When Margaret first received the letter, she even thought that something important had happened and she didn't dare to open it.

But after opening it, she found out that this guy had been in Yas City all along. The reason why no news was passed on was that she had completely forgotten about him.

Lamia and Margaret, who discovered this, immediately organized the team in anger and headed towards Yas City. This time they were determined to teach this bastard a lesson.

"Do you know that because of you..."

Lamia stood there chattering, and Margaret would interject from time to time to criticize Elina's actions.

Looking at the two people who were pointing fingers at her, Elina didn't feel any disgust at all, and even laughed in the end.

Because she found that she was much luckier than Leah. At least many people still cared about her.

During this period of time, because of the departure of Village Chief Gary, Elena has always felt upset, although she and Village Chief Gary did not have much affection for each other.

But after seeing such an idealist pass away, Elena still couldn't help feeling heartbroken.

However, the arrival of Lamia and Margaret today actually brought her some relief.

The tone that could only be used when treating a loved one brought her a sense of healing, and also allowed Elena's tense nerves to relax a little.

"Is this guy sick?"

Looking at Elina who was laughing, Lamia said suspiciously.

"I do not know either."

After hearing what Lamia said, Margaret was also confused.

"Thank you, thank you, really."

Just when Lamia and Margaret were feeling a little overwhelmed, Elina actually stood up and hugged them both.

"Lamia, Margaret, thank you!"

Lamia, who was held in Elina's arms, rolled her eyes crazily, while Margaret's face turned slightly red.

Because such an intimate action has never happened before.

"Asshole! Let go!!"
