Early morning.
Outside Locke City, Ya Yan led a group of guards to the carriage, and they pulled a horse to continue leading the carriage to Locke City.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ya Yan!" Phil bowed to thank Ya Yan.
“No need for that, Ms. Firi,” Ya Yan said.
As he spoke, he glanced at Elsie in the carriage, who was leaning against the window gazing at the distant hills.
On the hill, a heavily armored knight removed his helmet, revealing a dashing figure with flowing black hair.
Karin soothed the breathless creature beneath her, her gaze meeting Elsie's on the carriage.
Last night, Elsie possessed Kaelin and dealt with the goblins on Azer's side. To be fair, Kaelin's skills are very useful; even as a cavalryman, she can be surprisingly effective!
Perhaps different professional skills can have a surprising effect on the same body?
The limitation of heavy cavalry lies in their lack of flexibility. Although their attack power is the strongest among all classes, they lose their advantage after a single attack.
Scouts are highly flexible and, as a prerequisite for assassins, possess considerable adaptability.
Perhaps the strength of heavy cavalry lies not in better equipment, stronger development skills, or better mounts, but in setting aside their pride to learn the skills of other classes?
“My lord, I cannot enter the city…” Kaelin began to contact Elsie through the Gift of Blood.
“As far as I know, Locke City is not dangerous. When the time comes, you can negotiate with Ya Yan, and he will provide you with a hidden place to stay,” Elsie replied.
She stared at the Blood Child's curse progress bar, which had returned to 0%, but who knew when it would fill up again.
With limited support from her family, she needs to try to cultivate her own power.
No one knows the identities of Kailin and Juexi at present, and Ya Yan has also been knighted by himself, so he can be considered half one of his own.
However, Ya Yan does not have her own territory or a formal knighthood ceremony, which is something she cannot fulfill for the time being.
She could only promise him that she would bestow a title upon him once she had acquired certain abilities, and in the meantime, he would do his utmost to assist Elsie in her growth. The two parties reached an agreement.
[Friendly reminder: A very powerful being is approaching!]
"Come on, I'm not blind!" Elsie waved her hand, dismissing Karin.
Then she looked behind the carriage and saw a heavily armored knight just arriving.
“Baron Aize!” Ya Yan recognized him at a glance.
Aize looked exhausted, and his armor had lost its luster; the fierce battle that night had left him in pain all over.
He glanced at the carriage, nodded to Ferry, then smiled at Elsie, before looking around.
The guards of Locke City saluted Azer.
“Baron Aize, the city lord has issued an oral decree that you may enter the city at any time. This is an invitation from the Hagrid family.” The captain of the guard took out an envelope and handed it to Aize with both hands.
Aize nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
He then looked at Ya Yan and the horses that had been replaced, and asked, "Where is Lu Nan?"
"Um, Baron Aize, we were ambushed by goblins on the way. Lunan drew the enemy away for us, and then..."
"And then you lost your sword too? Hahaha..." Aize laughed a few times, then pulled out his mithril dagger and tossed it to Ya Yan.
"Take it. How can a scout not have a decent weapon?"
“Thank you for your mercy, Baron Aize!” Ya Yan bowed in gratitude.
"Go to Lyon to collect your commission fee. The Tilan family will not treat you unfairly." Aize waved his hand, and the knights behind him caught up. The group entered the city smoothly.
...
The incident has come to an end, and Ya Yan later passed the position of leader of the mercenary group to Bolando.
"Ya Yan, are you really going to do this?" Bolangduo was shocked, not expecting Ya Yan to abdicate so hastily.
The other members also advised Ya Yan not to quit so early, since they hadn't made much money yet!
Moreover, Ya Yan is not truly old yet and can continue fighting.
“To be honest, brothers,” Ya Yan said with a smile, “I’ve spent my whole life chasing after a knight’s title for so many years, and in the end, I don’t even have a wife.”
"This mission almost cost me my life. That's enough, brothers. I've saved enough money to become a farmer, buy a piece of land, and get married. That would be great."
He patted the group members on the shoulder and wished them well: "I hope you earn enough money soon, and I wish you a smooth journey ahead. I'm entrusting this to you, Bolando."
"Don't worry, Captain," Bolando patted his chest and assured him.
...
On the path outside Locke City, Ya Yan stood grinning foolishly, holding the land purchase certificate and the remaining thousand silver coins...
Perhaps the information from Orwick City was inaccurate; everyone only knew that goblins would invade, but they didn't know exactly where they would invade.
The land here originally cost 1,500 silver coins for a 10-square-meter plot of farmland, but due to the goblin's influence, he successfully acquired it this time for only 500 silver coins.
That farmer probably thought he had made a fortune, right?
A single silver coin was enough to make a family rich for a whole day. Ya Yan shook his money bag, wondering if he should go to a bar for a drink.
"It seems this money makes you very happy?" Karin, holding Juexi's hand, met Ya Yan.
She relayed Elsie's words. Ya Yan was initially hesitant, but upon hearing that it was Elsie's order, and considering that Karin was in charge of the fields, it was certainly a good thing.
Although harboring dark creatures is punishable by death and beheading, at that time... Elsie will save her, right?
So he readily agreed and paid a carpenter to build a larger farmhouse for Karin and Exhaustion to hide there.
...
Location: Locke City (Hagrid Family Castle Hall)
"Hey! Azer! Long time no see. I heard you encountered goblins on the road. That's interesting." Worson showed none of the composure expected of a priest.
“To be honest, it wasn’t that interesting.” Aize took the wine from Walson and replied with a smile.
"It's better than me!" Volson whispered in Azer's ear. "My sister makes me memorize the divine scriptures every day. I have no freedom at all! I also want to practice on goblins!"
"Your sister? Senior Shina?" Aize thought of the paladin at the academy's freshman ceremony.
"Is she here?"
"She's here."
Hearing Worson's confirmation, Aize's heart sank: "I don't think there's any worse news than today."
"Don't say that, what if your older sister likes you too?" Watson urged frantically.
"Thank you, she rejected me quite decisively." Aize couldn't forget the scene of her leaving, stepping on his love letters.
“Let’s not talk about this!” Wollson looked at Ferry and Elsie beside Aize.
"This must be Elsie, right? She's a very important person."
At this moment, Elsie had put on the Bloodthirsty Pendant again, and looked no different from a human, with even her dark aura completely suppressed.
"He is indeed a big shot; the two families have been fighting for so long without stopping." A gentle female voice rang out.
A woman in light armor descended the stairs, and with each step, Aize's brow twitched.
"Long time no see, junior Aize?"
"Senior Shi Na, it's been a long time."
