He felt as if he had done something very stupid.

Today, the master asked someone to give him a message, which roughly meant "His Royal Highness Louis is very good, and from now on, he is my student."

As soon as these words came out, Kino jumped up and down.

"What do you mean by your student?! I was the first one to teach him, whether it was learning breathing techniques or teaching him the Nine Swords techniques, I was the first one to do it!"

Kino could only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the brat Louis would not be fooled by his master Lao Deng.

How can his poor swordsmanship compare to the smooth path of your uncle Jinuo! No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

It turns out that I should just go and have a fight with the master.

Keno made a decision that was very logical for him.

His eyes turned to the manual in his hand.

"Fortunately, I have something better now, Master. You don't understand what that kid Louis wants."

"That guy has a desire far beyond that of ordinary people in his quest for extraordinary knowledge."

Kino gave an extremely kind smile.

Looking at the special inheritance he had just received from the Marquis of York, he didn't believe that Louis would not be tempted.

After all... this is a special profession that almost carved out a path of its own!

"I was originally thinking about whether I could learn it myself and then ask the brat for some instruction."

"Now it seems that in order to keep my status as the 'number one teacher', I have no choice but to let that brat do it for free!"

…

"Huh? You mean, I let that guy get away with it for free this time?"

Hearing Lumi praising her for being more sensible, Olivia instinctively straightened her chest to welcome the compliment.

After accepting the compliment, she then asked Lumi why she said that.

Then, under Lumi's slightly subtle gaze, she once again received news that gave her a little heart attack.

Do you remember the 10 gold coins agreement between Little Swan and Louis? Earlier in the Dragon Bone Grassland, Louis saw with his own eyes the maid standing on a big bow and destroying the enemy from a distance of 10,000 meters.

At that moment, Louis felt a strong desire to learn.

So the little swan, who knew Louis's idea, planned to make the greedy Louis feel deeply heartbroken.

The easiest way is to cheat him out of a little money.

So she made a promise that if he gave her 10 gold coins, she would persuade Sister Lumi to teach him the technique.

Even the little swan himself had completely forgotten about this incident.

But Lumi still remembers it clearly.

Before this, she had been preparing relevant teaching aids and sorting out the results of her practice over the years.

Since this is what her little swan promised His Royal Highness Louis, it is reasonable for her to do her best to show her attitude.

Little Swan said cautiously, "Sister Lumi, you mean that the market price for a model-level instructor is at least 15 gold coins?"

Lumi said in surprise:

"Don't you know? I thought you were deliberately saving money for His Royal Highness Louis."

The little swan wanted to cry but had no tears: "No, just teaching him for a week actually costs 15 gold coins?"

She thought 10 gold coins were a lot.

That's 10 gold coins. Even in a place like Tino City where every inch of land is valuable, 10 gold coins is not a small amount of money.

The adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild can be considered to be engaged in a high-risk industry. It can be said that the reason why there are so many adventurers is because it is easier to make money in this industry than in other industries.

However, even if you are an Orichalcum-level adventurer, you may not be able to earn 10 gold coins in a year even if you risk your life to take on quests all year round.

The dazed little swan looked at Lumi: "Sister Lumi, are you made of gold? It takes 15 gold coins to teach for a week. This... is beyond my comprehension."

Lumi glanced at the little swan and said:

"It costs more to train me than my weight in gold."

The little swan opened his mouth and uttered dryly: "Reasonable."

In her previous life, when she had just escaped from the palace, she worked as an adventurer for a few days.

——The formula for the poor Orichalcum-level adventurer who could earn less than 10 gold coins a year was calculated by her using the money she earned from her adventurer career.

Thanks to that experience, she fully realized the purchasing power of 10 gold coins.

(Note: approximately equal to the purchasing power of 100,000 RMB)

So she set the price at that time, which was a price that Huoguo could afford but would definitely make him feel painful to pay.

She thought she was being outrageous, but the reality turned out to be even more outrageous than she thought.

Oh no, I actually made Sister Lumi lose money? Seeing that Little Swan really had no idea about this, Lumi said: "It is said that in the early years, the cost of hiring an 11th-level model adventurer to teach for a week was only 3 gold coins."

"For some businessmen with a little bit of assets, it is affordable."

“So in the early years, let alone those wealthy businessmen, families with slightly better financial conditions who wanted to invest in their children would just grit their teeth and give it to them.”

"But your highness, you must know that even a lowly Paragon has an extremely valuable time."

"Three gold coins a week. Whenever I encounter a student who is not so smart, or if the model-level student is not very good at teaching..."

"With such a short time, it is highly unlikely that any significant results will be achieved."

"Even though they are paid to teach, they still have a professorial spirit and cannot be treated lightly."

“So it created a very embarrassing situation.”

"If one week of teaching doesn't produce results, then the simplest solution is to extend the teaching time."

"One week turned into two weeks, two weeks turned into one month... After a month, I was finally able to achieve some results."

“This has created a very embarrassing situation in the market.”

"If you want to hire someone to teach you for a week, the actual price you're going to get is at least January."

"Otherwise, others are very likely to simply not do this order."

"Her Highness Beatrice asked me this not long ago."

In fact, if it was someone else who made the promise on her behalf, she would probably have been angry a long time ago.

Not everyone is one of those senior tutors at St. Louis College who are good at teaching students.

She would just spend more time.

The little swan was confused.

Finally, I could only open my mouth and say:

“Isn’t there anyone who teaches for a week and then leaves it alone?”

Lumi said calmly:

"Of course there are, but Your Highness, outside the imperial capital, in those remote towns, there may only be one model-level person in a town."

"Outside the imperial capital, who is not considered a prominent figure in the local area?"

"Who can afford to lose this person?"

“It’s not that there aren’t any, but they are definitely a minority.”

There was one more thing Lumi didn't say, which was: "If there is only one Exemplar in the area, he must be a soldier from the White Crow Legion."

In other words, the person who made the promise was Little Swan, and the person who wanted to learn was His Royal Highness Louis, otherwise she would have to worry about how to refuse this matter reasonably.

Little Swan's face was tense, and she was about to cry: "Sister Lumi, I remember you said before that in order to teach Louis, you specially prepared props for him?"

Lumi nodded: "Not much, just about 5 gold coins."

Little Swan: ...

It turns out it’s not a small loss, it’s a huge loss?

She said pitifully, "Sister Lumi, I'm sorry. I'll make up the difference for you. I can't let you lose money."

The little pearl is about to fall.

I thought I would see Huoguo holding his tail with a heartbroken look on his face.

But why? Why did it become like this!

Who on earth has driven up the prices to this extent? Who is behind this?

Lumi raised her lips into a gentle and maternal smile and gently combed the girl's hair:

"It's good that you have this intention. Besides, if it's to teach His Royal Highness Louis, I'd still be willing to do it."

"And Her Highness Beatrice has already known about this matter. Her Highness has already reimbursed the other extra expenses."

"Besides, His Royal Highness Louis' talent is really rare. Who knows, there might be some surprises if I teach him."

Olivia said curiously:

"Sister Lumi, have you ever seen anyone more outrageous than Louis?"

Olivia had her back to Lumi and couldn't see her expression at that moment.

Lumi said with some complexity:

"There is one who is on par with His Royal Highness Louis."

"There is another one who has a talent that is not inferior to His Royal Highness Louis, but due to various reasons, he has not had time to develop it."

The little swan clapped his hands and said:

"The one who is stronger than Louis is my father, right?"

"Well, your majesty's bravery is rarely seen in the world."

"Who are the remaining people?"

"If you are destined to meet those people, you will meet them. But the one who failed to develop his talent can tell you now."

Little Swan's appetite was whetted:

"Who is it?"

Lumi said calmly:

"Whoever is in charge of Ensel now is the one."

The little swan laughed happily:

"Yeah, how could I forget about Sister Wang."

Yes, everyone in the Enther Empire knew that Beatrice had been regent for many years.

However, few people know that as early as when she was 17 years old, Beatrice, who had just been promoted to the model level, led a team of the White Crow Legion with high spirits and launched a surprise attack on the barbarian tribe that invaded the border of the empire.

They even brought back the head of the tribal leader.

This matter is still circulating in the White Crow Legion until now.

When Little Swan heard someone praising Sister Wang, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of pride.

But the next moment, Olivia noticed the point and whispered: "Sister Lumi, even you said that 3 gold coins was the price in the early years, so how many years ago was the price of 15 gold coins?"

Lumi's originally gentle expression froze in an instant.

After a moment, Lumi said firmly:

“It must have been last year!”

The little swan snorted and hummed, "Sister Lumi, you are over a hundred years old... ah, it hurts!"

Lumi placed her slender fingers on the trembling little swan's head and emphasized:

"18."

“Obviously…”

"Eighteen years old!"

"Yes, yes, Lumi-sister is 18 years old."

The little swan was in tears.

Rumi-san is so scary when she is asked about her age.

I don’t know how long it will take Little Swan to understand that sometimes, the truth is the most hurtful.

…

That afternoon, Lumi took the rare opportunity to organize her dimensional bag.

After some searching, she found a stick figure drawing in the dimensional bag.

The stick figure sketch shows two young-looking girls taking a nap under the shade of a tree.

One of them had long wavy blond hair and was holding a wooden stick in her arms that was taller than her.

——Looking at the shape, it seems to be a magic wand, but it is drawn too ugly and deformed.

Next to the other was a huge bow and quiver.

The two of them snuggled together, making the whole painting look interesting and fun.

Lumi stared at the stick drawing for a long time.

Suddenly, she sighed:

"It's not like Olivia said, it's been a long time...it's only been 70 years."

"But haven't prices been rising too fast recently?"

"The price for a model has gone up so much from what I remember!"

"Are you crazy about money?"

…

"You think I'm kidding?"

"The price for a Paragon is 20 gold coins. If you can get a Paragon, I lose!"

Jinuo's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he snorted at Louis and said:

"15 gold coins for a model? That was the price of goods 10 years ago."

"And that's the price of a regular Paragon."

"There are differences even among paragons! Don't you know how big the difference is between inviting an ordinary paragon and inviting me?"

Louis said helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are right, teacher."

He didn't think that Instructor Kino would lie about this matter.

This kind of thing will become clear once you investigate.

He also didn't think Beatrice would lie to him.

Things like pricing often depend on supply and demand.

Beatrice's understanding of the prices in this business may have been many years ago.

"So, Teacher, you came here today to tell me that you plan to teach me this inheritance for free?"

Louis subconsciously emphasized the word "free".

Jinuo said with a bashful face: "I'm here to give you money."

"It will take you at least a month to learn this inheritance... Ahem, a week."

"The inheritance is worth a lot, and the cost of inviting me to teach is even more."

"I didn't take all of this into account. If this isn't called giving money, what is it called giving money?"

Louis was curious: "But I heard that Olivia asked you to teach me, and the cost was not as much as I imagined!"

Upon hearing this, Jinuo showed a miserable expression on his face and slapped him on the back: "Why are you talking about something irrelevant? Why don't you think about what position I am in?"

"Captain of the Royal Guards, oh, I understand."

What are the Royal Guards? Those whose main job is to protect the royal family are called Royal Guards.

This can be seen from the fact that the training camp of the Royal Guards is located at the foot of the mountain on the edge of the royal family.

This is not a job where you can slack off.

"You've figured it out? Now you know why I always teach you in the palace."

Jinuo said bitterly: "It is my duty. I can't just leave."

"Don't say that what Her Highness Olivia gave me is too little. Even if it's only 1 gold coin, I will accept it!"

"You'll understand when you have your second child."

Louis looked at Instructor Kino in horror, wondering how a model instructor like him could be tricked like this.

Grass (a kind of plant), a little trick to deal with fear of marriage every day.

I didn’t expect that people from other worlds couldn’t get rid of this thing either.

The next moment, Louis smiled again: "Fortunately, I don't have to worry about money."

After all, his current identity is not a worker.

Jinuo laughed and scolded, "Boy, if you make me angry, I won't teach you anymore!"

"No, no, no, teacher, look at my face, do I look like your long-lost student?"

"You look like a fool to me."

"So, Tutor, can you tell me what you are going to teach me?"

Jinuo said dissatisfiedly, "You still want me to teach you?"

Louis was overjoyed and said loudly:

"Teacher Kino."

"Yes." Jinuo said with a smile, "What I am going to teach you next is a career system that almost became an advanced profession of the Nine Swords, but was finally taken out separately."

"Its name is——"

"Blood Blade!"
