“It is my duty to help my master, and I am also very interested in knowing where my senior brother is,” Felia said with a smile.
To ascertain An'i's current situation, Felia made a special trip to Eternal City.
At her pace, including rest time, it took her almost a whole day to get there.
When she arrived, An Yi and the other three had already set off.
Fortunately, the information was obtained from the local believers.
"You also want to know where An Yi is. Why?" Elef asked, puzzled.
"Because my senior brother is the strongest hero in the current hero world, and the Saintess Squad is also the strongest squad, their choices must have corresponding reasons, right?"
For example, why did they choose to hunt down the goblins that their master disapproved of, instead of supporting the fortress? What is the deeper meaning behind this decision?
"I'm very curious, curious about where they'll lead us next," Felia explained respectfully.
“I see.” Elaine nodded. “Actually, I’m the same way.”
Whether An Yi chooses to come here or chooses to hunt goblins, I will ask him why.
For example, right now, I'm curious why he thinks the appearance of goblins is more important than the appearance of level seven demons?
Is he just trying to avoid the powerful demons and level up first?
"Should I go and ask Senior Brother Nine about the reason on behalf of Second Master?" Felia asked with a slight smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Irene: "No need."
Felia's smile froze.
Irene continued, "You've been out all day, and then I'll give you another day to rest, so you haven't practiced your sword for two days."
You humans only live for a hundred years, how can you waste two more days of your life?
Training will resume tomorrow. Just make sure your senior knows the situation.
“Yes…” Felia nodded with a grin.
It has to be said that Irene's training has really taken a toll on them.
If we consider the lifespan of a Pokémon, the training intensity is almost zero; they learn slowly over a period of thirty years.
But... in the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed, and humans have gone directly from their prime to their twilight years.
So while the two children are still young, Irene tries to reduce the thirty years of training to three years, otherwise they won't be able to graduate even if humanity goes extinct!
None of them possessed An Yi's adaptability to swordsmanship, much less the ability to learn it at a glance, and so...
All I can do is train hard every day.
Fortunately, what Elef taught them did indeed prove useful on the battlefield.
Without positive feedback, I doubt they would be able to continue learning.
After all, it was just too tiring.
Before Felia arrived, Irene instructed her, "Oh, and call Aisha over later."
"Yes, Master."
"Is there anything I can do for Miss Aisha?" Felia asked, being the busybody she was.
"It's nothing, just go and call her. I also need to let her know about the Saintess Squad's movements, don't I?" Irene chuckled.
“Okay, sure.” Felia nodded.
Although I wanted to say "I can notify them," since it was her master who asked her to come, there must be other considerations, right? ⌒≡〈∫
Ten minutes later, Elsa arrived at the training ground, her long, blood-red hair still as striking as ever.
"I'm sorry, Elsa, the Holy Maiden you're waiting for won't be back anytime soon."
Upon seeing Elsa, Irene smiled.
Elsa was taken aback, then asked, "Why?"
“Because she’s going to hunt goblins, so she probably won’t be back until she’s done,” Elef said.
"I see..."
Elsa looked rather dejected.
After all, she had spent nearly three months traveling around seeking medical treatment and finally found this place, only to miss meeting Lycorina.
They clearly said that Her Highness the Holy Maiden would return in a week, but now they're saying she won't be coming for the time being.
So... the treatment was postponed again.
After missing out time and time again, she wondered if she was destined to never be cured of her illness.
She didn't know when she would die from her illness, and every day that passed brought more worry.
and so……
“Where are they? I want to go find them,” Elsa said.
Instead of waiting here, we should take the initiative to go and find it!
"In Shiwei City, don't worry, I originally intended to arrange for you to meet with them."
"You won't need to earn the money yourself this time; I'll arrange for someone to take you there by carriage," Irene chuckled.
"This...no!" Elsa hesitated for a moment, but still refused. "I'll find a way to pay for the carriage ride." (Seven)
"As for the cost... I already said, they're going to hunt down goblins."
So if you go and help, consider it payment settled.
In other words, I'm using the carriage fee as a condition for hiring you! Lu
"I'll pay for the carriage, then you can go and join Her Highness the Saintess's party to help them defeat the goblins. That will repay my debt, how about it?" Irene stood up, stood in front of Elsa, and asked with a smile.
“But…” Elsa still felt uneasy.
Even though she could easily earn the money for the carriage ride herself, the other party offered to cover the cost first. (Seven)
What if by the time I arrive, all the goblins have already been defeated?
After all, they were such a weak demon race. Zero
“I know what you’re worried about,” Elaine said. “You might think that hunting goblins might not be worth the travel expenses, right?”
"If it's close by, it's fine. But if it's far away, defeating goblins might be too easy, and it'll make your conscience bother you."
"Yes." Elsa nodded honestly.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm actually offering you a long-term job first."
Didn't you want Her Highness to heal you?
Her Highness is the master of all the believers here. That is, everything you eat, wear, and use belongs to Her Highness.
Thinking about it this way, you can never repay her favor, right?
"It's not just about paying back the money, don't you think you should do something else?" Elaine said with a smile.
"Do something...?" Elsa's little brain raced, but she couldn't think of anything.
She didn't know what she was good at, after all, she was just an ordinary employee who cleaned up slimes.
Eliminating other demons was just a side effect.
Irene nodded with her arms crossed: "For example, you are very strong, aren't you?"
Then why don't you become Her Highness's bodyguard?
Stay by her side and protect her life. That way, no matter how many favors you owe me, I can repay them, right?
You're protecting her life.
Moreover, being able to protect Her Highness the Holy Maiden will definitely earn me a lot of money!
If that's not enough, I'll have my apprentice An Yi make up the difference!
Elsa: "Guard duty...!"
sounds good!
That should pay off the medical expenses, right?
"Want to do it?" Elaine asked with a smile.
"……think!"
"Alright, let's get ready to go."
"Go help Her Highness defeat the goblins!"
Chapter 209 Did I let you go? (4k)
At this moment, a meeting is being held within the Four Heroes Alliance of Shiwei City. ∴#∫【
The believers and heroes were discussing their next move against the goblins.
Just when everyone agreed that the investigation should continue to gather as much information as possible about goblins, one person raised an objection.
“I think we should stop the investigation into the goblins immediately,” said Eddie, the Axe Hero.
"Well, what are your thoughts, Axe Hero?" the presiding follower asked.
"Goblins are cunning creatures; they learn from battle and then seek ways to kill us."
Our investigation has only resulted in killing a batch of goblins; many more are watching us from the shadows.
"I think we should stop here rather than continue exposing the strength of more people," Eddie said.
"Why not just use the bare minimum of attacks? Our physical strength alone far surpasses that of ordinary goblins, isn't it?" one of the heroes said.
"What's the point?" Eddie asked. "Just killing some goblins that won't bring you any benefit, and exposing yourself to danger."
Instead of dealing with goblins, we should kill more other demons.
“But if we stop hunting goblins now, their numbers will soon increase again, won’t they?” another hero said.
“Yes, if they attack the city in large numbers, we may not be able to protect the people,” another warrior said.
At this moment, Eddie fell silent.
