He decided not to pretend anymore. When the young lady heard what he said, a look of enlightenment appeared on her face.
Ah, that's great.
She finally realized that she was truly a genius.
Heklan felt that he was finally liberated.
He didn't have to endure this torture anymore.
As a coach, there is no need to continue to pretend not to see the opponent's talent and undermine the opponent's confidence in order to spur the opponent to move forward.
He didn't know whether he succeeded in spurring the other party on, but he knew that his self-confidence had been completely shattered during this week. He had originally been somewhat proud of his own strength and talent.
Although he was not a true genius, he felt that he was talented. But facing the monster of the Astraea family, who could confidently say that he was talented? Compared with such a monster, they were just trash.
He said quietly, "The fastest record was held by the swordsman of the empire back then. He took three months to master the empire's swordsmanship, and then spent a year absorbing the essence of the empire's swordsmanship, supplementing his own swordsmanship foundation, and creating new and unique martial arts.
He then challenged the Sword Master of that generation, but was defeated by the Three Swordsmen. From then on, there was no more Sword Master in the Empire."
"he died?"
Miss, is your focus a little strange? Heklan suppressed his urge to complain and replied, "No, he has retired."
"Oh."
Si was not interested in what happened back then.
She looked at the sword in her hand, thinking about her efforts over the past few days. Although judging by her current results, Hekkeran seemed to think that she was very talented.
But she wasn't so sure.
Because during the training, she did not feel the bonus from the blood of the Astraea family. The reason why she mastered this sword technique so quickly was that this sword technique was only the basics of the basics, and also because her mental strength was strong enough to quickly find her mistakes during training and make adjustments. In addition, her physical strength was strong enough, so she could persist in training for a long time. Although it seemed that it only took a week, it was actually not much different from the three months of the swordsman. She could not even feel the potential of the blood of the Astraea family.
Is it really just a useless identity background setting? She touched her black hair. Sure enough, the Astraea family should have red hair?
But it is not certain yet.
Perhaps it was because this set of swordsmanship was too simple and she could easily master it with her ability, so it might not trigger the blood talent of the Astraea family at all. She felt that she could not draw a conclusion so quickly. She should find some more difficult martial arts to confirm them carefully next.
[Chapter 6: The Diligent Emperor]
Inside the Bahasa Empire Palace.
In the magnificent and luxurious palace, gold and blood are used as decorations. A blond young man is reading the documents in his hand carefully. He is wearing a retro and wild dress. Although the dress is very delicately designed, it exposes part of his body. He is also wearing various gold ornaments.
This young man was the emperor of the Bahas Empire, known by the infamous name of the 'Blood Emperor'.
Gilknife, Rune, Farod, Elnyx.
The reason why he was called the Blood Emperor was because he began to purge the nobles shortly after he came to power.
This move caused huge carnage in the country.
He stepped on the corpses of those nobles and successfully extended the life of the empire that was already in its twilight years.
Even though he was labeled a tyrant like the Blood Emperor, no one could shake his position in the empire.
He was determined to make the empire better.
So he is busy almost every day.
Although he always hides these busyness and endures it silently, only he knows that although he is still very young, when he wakes up every day, his pillow is full of fallen hair.
If he continued like this, he would become bald sooner or later, and his handsome image would not last long. However, there were too many things that kept him from resting. Although the purge of the nobles had made the treasury more abundant than ever before and the power of the royal family had reached an unprecedented level, because too many nobles were purged at once, there were too many vacancies in the country, which could not be filled in just a few years, and the vacant jobs could only be filled by the remaining people.
As the emperor, he had the heaviest workload.
Sometimes he even regretted that he should not have inherited the throne if he had known earlier.
But it was not his decision at the time. Being born in the royal family meant no freedom. So he seized the throne, thinking that the days ahead would be better than before, but he realized that he was wrong. It turned out that being an emperor was such a tiring job.
"Your Majesty, this is the cabinet roster."
When Jill saw the roster, his expression did not change, but in his heart he was madly cursing the cabinet minister, the traitor! Didn't you see that he is so busy that his hair is falling out, and you still ask him to choose concubines every day! Does he look like he has the energy to give birth to a child for you now? ! Although he cursed those ministers a hundred times in his heart, he still maintained the demeanor of a king on the surface.
"Just leave it there. I'll look at it when I'm free." It's impossible to look at it. I'll just burn it when I have time. What a waste of time!
"Your Majesty, the Research Department has developed new weapons. This is the budget application they submitted."
"Okay, it's approved." Jill took a closer look and stamped it.
He then continued to handle government affairs.
It was not until mealtime that he got a little rest. Although he was the emperor, the work of this blood emperor seemed even worse than that of a social animal.
At least there is an upper limit to the workload of office workers, unless they are forced to work overtime by an unscrupulous boss. However, there is no limit to the workload of the Blood Emperor. No matter how much work he has done, as long as it is not time for a break, there will always be endless work for him to complete.
But these things are national affairs, and he cannot afford to be careless. He calculated that as long as he continued to work at this intensity, he could finish these tasks in five years at most. This is the result he calculated after adding the progress of the subsequent work, so there is no need to worry that more work will extend this time. When these tasks are completed in five years, the vacant positions will be filled again.
With new hands, he would be able to escape from this working hell.
At that time, he will definitely visit the biggest red-light district, drink the strongest liquor, and talk about life with the most beautiful women.
At this moment, the emperor still maintained a strong motivation. He certainly didn't know that if he continued to work so hard, his enthusiasm would gradually cool down and become numb. At that time, he would only think about resting and resting, and he didn't want to do anything.
"Your Majesty, what good news!"
Just as Jill was eating, a loud voice shouted outside.
"It's Fruda, you don't have to stop him, let him in."
An old man with white hair and a beard that almost grew to the ground ran in very quickly. People around him were really afraid that he would fall to death. He was holding a letter in his hand, which seemed to be the good news he wanted to report to the emperor.
"Fudalu, tell me, what good news is worth you coming to see me in person?"
Jill was looking forward to it. He recognized the old man's ability, otherwise he would not always provide budget for the Magic Research Department. This old man was the chief court magician of the Bahas Empire.
Fruda Paraday.
This magician is already two hundred years old, which is far beyond the human lifespan. The fact that he can live this long is enough to prove the old man's ability.
Gil's ability to purge the nobles was inseparable from Fruda's support. If he did not have military force that was superior to the nobles, even if he was the emperor, he would not have been able to purge those blood-sucking bugs lying on the empire.
It was precisely because he won over the strong men in the military and the chief court magician and mastered absolute military force that he was able to accomplish such a great task as purging the nobles.
"Your Majesty, do you remember the student I mentioned to you?"
"It's the child who was born with superpowers. I remember that child had superpowers similar to yours."
"Yes, I am very optimistic about that child."
"Oh? But that child is from the Field family, right? Are you here to plead for her?"
"How could that be? I don't care about the Field family. What I want to talk to you about today is not about this child, but about Astraea."
Fruda handed the letter to the emperor.
"A week ago, Astraea was kicked out of school because she couldn't pay the tuition. Her hometown address is in the same place as the Field family's. I wrote to the child and asked her to help me take care of Astraea. The content of this letter is what she reported to me about Astraea's recent news."
Astraea?
Jill thought of the girl.
The Astraea family has always been the guardian of the empire. Although they enjoy the honor of hereditary dukes, it is only an honor without any noble privileges.
This was the only nobleman he didn't dislike.
When the wife of the headmistress of Astraea was in trouble, he also wanted to help the young lady.
But no one expected that the eldest lady would abandon the honor of the Astraea family, pawn all the family property, and go to the magic school to study magic.
He even went to persuade Astraea in person, but was unsuccessful.
He looked at the contents of the letter curiously.
Even though Astraea had given up swordsmanship, he still had the blood of the Empire's guardian in his body, and as the emperor of the Empire, he couldn't help but pay attention to that guy.
"That guy finally changed his mind?" Jill couldn't help laughing after reading the letter. "I told you at the beginning that she would definitely regret it. Your student did a good job. Let her continue to monitor Astraea. If she does a good job, I will reward her handsomely."
[Chapter 7: Rewarding Mission]
“There’s work coming.”
Hekkeran was invited by the guild early in the morning and went with Imina to discuss work matters. They came back at noon and told everyone about the content of the mission. "This mission is to eliminate goblins. The reward is fifty gold. It's a very good mission." When talking about the mission reward, Hekkeran and Imina seemed very happy. It seems that they are both very satisfied with the guild's commission this time.
Si sat in his seat and listened to them introduce the mission. Fifty gold was not a small amount.
Gold coins are the largest currency in this world. A villa like Astraea's would cost no more than one thousand gold if you only count the land and the house, not counting the furniture inside.
Fifty gold is already a huge sum of money as a reward for a commissioned mission, which means that this mission is not as simple as just defeating the goblins.
Ordinary goblins have very low hunting value, and taking down a goblin team will only earn you a maximum bounty from the guild.
This time the guild actually offered a bounty of fifty to deal with these goblins, which means that these goblins are likely to come from other places, from a place that is relatively dangerous for weaker humans.
Most of the goblins that humans usually fight are just the weakest lower-level goblins, but above the lower-level goblins, there are high-level goblins.
The average high-level goblin has the strength equivalent to that of a Mithril-level adventurer, not to mention that there are goblin generals and goblins above these high-level goblins.
King these more powerful special evolutions.
So don’t think that defeating goblins is an easy task. The weakest race in this world is humans, and goblins are much stronger than humans.
However, this time the guild assigned the mission to their team, which means that no adventurer is willing to accept this mission. Adventurers are not those who seek death, and will not accept missions that they think are impossible to complete.
Although there are no higher-level adventurers in this city, there are still some mithril-level teams like their [Five Sages] team, but they refused the mission for various reasons, so this mission has fallen to them.
“The goblins we are going to attack this time are a group of hundreds of goblins, the strongest of which are the two evolved species, the Goblin Leader and the Goblin General.
"The goblin leader is good at support magic. When the tribe is in danger, he can also cast group frenzy magic to enhance the strength of the entire tribe. He is a target that needs to be eliminated first. At that time, Astraea and I will be responsible for clearing the way. The task of sniping the goblin leader will be handed over to Imina and Alshe, and Robatiku will be responsible for blocking the goblin general."
"The Goblin General is very powerful and can use martial arts. If he goes berserk, Astraea will be the only one among us who can survive."
After hearing Heklan's introduction, everyone understood that this was an extremely difficult task. No wonder the Adventurer's Guild was so generous to offer fifty gold as the task reward. This money was very difficult to get.
"Do you have any more questions?"
When they heard this question, everyone shook their heads.
Although the mission is very difficult, the four sages have become accustomed to this kind of life.
As for the newly joined Astraea?
She didn't feel much.
Coincidentally, she was also curious about the strength of the goblins in this world. In the previous world, goblins could even evolve into rare monsters such as trolls and ghosts. She wondered if the goblins in this world were as strong as those in the previous world.
Moreover, she had never actually seen the famous monster, the Goblin, with her own eyes, because in the last world, she did not go deep into the Monster Mountains, and the Goblin village was on the other side of the mountains.
She had only seen portraits of goblins through monster encyclopedias. The goblins in the previous world were quite different from the goblins she knew.
See that no one has any objection.
Heklan said, "Then it's settled. We'll set off tomorrow morning."
----
at this time.
In a cave in the forest, a man dressed as an adventurer came to the residence of the goblins.
You can see many tents set up in the cave. Although the goblins living here live a wild life, it can be seen that their behavior is regulated. They are a group of well-trained soldiers and cannot be compared with the wild goblins outside.
"That human is back! Go and report to the king quickly!" The goblin soldier in charge of vigilance shouted loudly to the goblins in the camp.
As soon as the man approached the goblin camp, he was stopped. The goblin soldier said, "You can't go in. Wait here for the king and the general!"
Goblins speak a language completely different from human civilization, but communication between the two is not affected. It's not that they are all proficient in two languages, but that people in this world have eaten a prop called translation konjac. The effect of this prop allows humans to gain the ability to communicate with all intelligent races, even the language from another world can communicate with them without any obstacles.
Most of the intelligent races in this world can eat this kind of prop, so although the races in this world have their own unique language and writing, there are no obstacles in verbal communication.
The man who was stopped looked unhappy.
He was a little mad at the goblins' behavior of totally ignoring him, but just when he was secretly angry, the Goblin King and the Goblin General, who had received the news, had already walked over from the tent. The huge bodies of the two were able to cause a certain vibration to the surroundings just by moving.
Being stared at by the two, the man's expression changed and he looked at the two giant goblins with fear.
They look similar to ordinary goblins, but ordinary goblins are only about meters tall, while the Goblin General is nearly three meters tall, and the Goblin King is four meters tall. Just standing there makes people feel suffocated because they are too powerful.
And men noticed.
Behind the Goblin King and the Goblin General, there is a Goblin Shaman who looks like an ordinary goblin, but wears a robe and holds a staff. This guy is not much less threatening than the first two.
This is a group of goblin troops that have the power to fight against human countries. Obviously, there was an error in the intelligence system of the Adventurer's Guild, and they misjudged the strength of this group of goblins. This group of goblins came here because of a person's order. The other party asked them to come to this city to find someone. But the other party did not tell them who that person was, whether it was a man or a woman, but just asked them to come to find this person, and it didn't matter whether he was dead or alive.
So they thought of
One way.
