"Oh, sorry, I just choked on my saliva."
After hearing this guy's explanation, everyone was speechless. It was the first time for them to see someone choking on his own saliva.
"Okay, forget about him. Now I need each village to report the names of people who can participate in this training camp."
Alina knocked on the table, successfully drawing everyone's attention back.
After hearing what Elina said, the village chiefs were speechless.
No, we haven’t even mentioned where the money will come from, and you’re already asking for a list of personnel?
"Well, Lady Elina, that's two hundred million ducats. We villages may not be able to come up with that."
Leonard, who was sitting in the front, spoke. He carefully looked at Elena's face, although he couldn't see anything through the mask.
"When did I say I wanted you to collect the money?"
Elina's words made everyone dumbfounded. If they were not allowed to pool the money, would Lady Elina alone pay the 200 million ducats?
This is impossible. Even if the two hundred million ducats were exchanged for gold bars, it would take dozens of carriages to carry them. But seeing that Lady Elina had nothing in her hands, it didn't look like she had two hundred million ducats with her.
Everyone was secretly wondering in their hearts.
"It seems that I have to let you see it for yourself."
Having said that, Elina stood up.
"Come with me, I'll show you around."
After saying that, he led the way out of the meeting room. Behind Elina were a group of village heads and captains with puzzled faces, as well as a Glorious Knight with no expression on his face.
"Well, this is about right. There's enough space."
Soon, Elina led everyone to the largest open space in the village.
For safety reasons, Village Chief Gary asked the people around the open space to leave temporarily. At this time, there were only Elena and more than 40 other people in the open space of about 100 to 200 square meters.
"Lamia, it's up to you."
Elina patted Lamia's dragon horn.
Lamia opened her mouth reluctantly, and then a mountain of gold appeared directly in front of everyone.
This golden mountain is naturally not made of gold, but of various treasures. These treasures emit dazzling light under the sunlight, almost blinding the village heads' 24K titanium alloy eyes.
"this·······"
"Oh my God."
"Gulu."
Faced with the mountain of gold before them, everyone was stunned. They had never seen so much treasure in their lives.
The village heads all swallowed their saliva, and some even pinched the thighs of the people next to them hard, until the people next to them wailed, only then did they realize that they were not dreaming.
"Teacher Elina is really rich."
Unlike these village chiefs, Andrei just sighed. After all, in this world, strength represents wealth.
It is not surprising that a person who can beat Count Flo like that can casually take out so many treasures, but why does he suddenly feel that these treasures look familiar?
Thinking of this, Andrei couldn't help but move closer. The more he looked, the more he felt that some of the treasures seemed to have been seen somewhere before.
Wait!
Isn’t this golden cup Count Flo’s treasured possession?
And there is this air-cutting sword!
If he remembered correctly, it seemed to be one of the most beloved weapons of Marquis Kane, the supreme commander of the dark race in the third war zone!
Could this teacher of mine be...
Thinking in his heart, Andrei slowly turned his gaze to Elena, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
"Lady Elina, you have saved us many times. We would really feel bad if you had to spend so much money on us again this time."
At this time, Village Chief Gary spoke. Although he didn't know Elena's specific strength and status, he knew how precious so many treasures were.
Lady Elina has saved them many times. It would be very rude of them to let their savior spend money again.
After hearing Gary's words, the other village heads lowered their heads.
To be honest, they hadn't thought of this just now.
Now that Gary mentioned this, they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Gary was right, Lady Elina had already saved their lives.
"So, the money for raising the army should be collected by each of our villages. We will collect as much as we can. As for the army's weapons, they don't need to be that sophisticated..."
"Village Chief Gary, are you mistaken?"
Gary was interrupted by Alina before he could finish his words.
"I never said these treasures belong to me."
"If it's not yours, then whose is it?"
Now it was Gary's turn to be confused.
"Hehe, these are donated by the kindhearted dark nobles who saw that everyone is having a hard time. If you want to thank them, then go thank Count Flo, Count Luer and Marquis Kane." Elena said righteously, with her hands on her hips.
It was stolen after all! Hey!
Andrei was complaining wildly in his heart. When he saw some treasures that he was familiar with, he knew that some guys were going to be in trouble.
But he didn't expect that even Count Lule, who was next to the Saint-Bo defense line, would suffer from the disaster.
"Friendship... Friendly sponsorship?"
Village Chief Gary was dumbfounded, Village Chief Leonard was dumbfounded, all the village chiefs and captains were dumbfounded, would the dark race still sponsor them?
"Okay, now is not the time to dwell on these things. Anyway, I calculated the treasures here and there are about 200 million ducats. This money should be enough."
Elina proudly patted the pile of treasures beside her and ignored Lamia who was looking resentful.
Afterwards, many things were finalized in the meeting, which lasted until the evening.
That night, the village chiefs from each village and the captains of the defense teams hurried back to the village with their people.
With the help of Lady Elina, maybe they can really form an extremely elite army this time!
Everyone has a burning hope in their heart.
Over the years, they have tried to build a powerful army, but all have failed.
But this time is different, this time, the dream I once had may really come true!
"Teacher Elina, even if this army is established, who will train them?"
Andrei stood beside Elina, looking at the horse teams going away, and asked.
"Need I say that? Of course it's you."
Elina's matter-of-fact tone almost choked Andri to death.
(It's the beginning of the month again, I'm here to shamelessly ask for a monthly ticket. Dahuo, can't you really support this author who works, writes, and works so hard that he's bald?)
Chapter 44: Work hard, I'm rooting for you
Darkness, endless darkness, swallowed up Leia.
She felt as if she was drowning and unable to breathe. She wanted to struggle, but the more she struggled, the deeper she felt she sank.
"Dad, Mom!"
In the darkness, Leia seemed to see the backs of her parents.
She desperately stretched out her hands, as if she wanted to catch the figure that haunted her. But no matter how hard she tried, the distance between her and them became farther and farther, and finally the two familiar figures disappeared completely in front of her as if blown away by the wind.
For a moment, an extreme feeling of loss filled Leia's heart. She squatted on the spot, hugged her knees with her arms, and her whole body was cold.
At this moment, she wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
"This child seems to be having a nightmare."
In a trance, a familiar voice came into Leia's ears, and then a spot of light appeared in front of her eyes.
Soon Leia felt a warm current flowing slowly in her body, and the light in front of her helped her drive away the darkness around her. This feeling was like bathing in the winter sun, warm and comfortable.
The negative emotions of loneliness, despair and emptiness also dissipated at this moment. A feeling of security and warmth appeared in Leia's heart, and finally she fell asleep under the light.
When Elina woke up again, it was already the next morning. The sunlight outside shone through the window onto Leah's bed, making her squint her eyes.
The moment she woke up, a warmth came from her cold hands. Leia turned her head gently and saw that her hands were being wrapped by a pair of white and soft hands. The hands were as warm as jade, giving her a reassuring feeling.
Looking up, she saw a girl with a pure white mask and silver hair lying beside her in a somewhat lazily manner. Her silver hair, like a waterfall, was spread on the bed, curled at a cute angle, and sparkled in the sunlight outside the window.
"Elina... Teacher?"
Leah whispered.
Then, her pretty face turned red. She had never had such close contact with an outsider before.
Leah moved her hand slightly, trying to pull her hand back, but this tiny movement woke up Elina.
"Ah Qiu~"
Elina sneezed cutely, then sat up and stretched lazily. For a moment, the girl's graceful figure was completely displayed in front of Leah.
Realizing that Elina had woken up, Leah quickly covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but her slightly heavy breathing under the quilt completely exposed her nervous state of pretending to be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Alina couldn't help but chuckle.
"Okay, wake up when you wake up, why pretend to be asleep?"
"Well."
After hearing what Elina said, Leah embarrassedly poked half of her head out from under the quilt.
She probably talked a lot of embarrassing things in her sleep last night.
"How are you, are you feeling okay?"
To Leah's surprise, Elina didn't mention what happened last night at all, but asked directly about her physical condition.
After hearing what Elena said, Leah realized that her body seemed to be fine. Although she was still very weak, she had no problem with basic movements.
"It's no problem anymore, Teacher Elina."
Leah replied with a smile, the warm feeling from last night still lingering in her heart.
"You have been practicing swordsmanship too much these days. Although I admire your spirit, I don't agree with your method."
Elina sat down and said seriously.
"The body is the foundation of everything. If you destroy your body in order to practice, then you are putting the cart before the horse."
"Um······"
Facing Elina's slightly accusatory tone, Leah responded in a low voice, without any intention of refutation.
On the contrary, she enjoyed being cared for.
"Okay, that's the end of the lecture. Your next task is to cultivate yourself."
"Although you should be fine now, your injuries are indeed too severe. You should rest for a few more days. Once you have fully recovered, we can officially start the swordsman training."
Elina touched Leah's head, and her red hair, which was like a blazing flame, was very soft. Leah closed her eyes, enjoying the rare warmth.
"I'm leaving now. You must have a good rest."
Just as Alina was about to get up and leave, a voice stopped her.
"That... Teacher Elina..."
"how?"
Elina turned sideways.
"Thank you."
Leia buried half of her head in the quilt, leaving only a pair of big eyes exposed, and whispered.
"You're welcome. You're my first student."
In response to Leah's thanks, Alina smiled, then opened the door and walked out.
