Chapter 55: The Maid's Work
85_85770 Early the next morning, Grevas, in the name of familiarity, asked the two maids of Night Sky Star and Wind Morning God to follow her around the academy.
After walking around, I began to take the two of them to a nearby town to familiarize themselves with the environment. Housework is a maid's job, and how can you cook if you don't even know where to buy groceries and shop?
The Elesian Elven Academy had just been out for the holidays, and the students and teachers had gone back to visit their families. Originally, she also planned to go back to her hometown in the imperial capital to enjoy the holiday, but because of some delays, she met the Night Sky Star and the Wind Morning God. In this way, she dismissed the idea of going back.
She was the only one in the family anyway.
Walking on the tree-lined path, suddenly four men in black popped up from both sides, and although they covered their faces, they could see that they were four men. In their hands, they all hold short knives with slightly curved blades.
The wind early god reacted on the spot, flipped up his long skirt and pulled out his usual double sword from the belt attached to his legs.
The attacker's movements stopped for a moment.
And of course, of course. Because a maid is actually pulling out her weapon with skillful movements.
Taking advantage of that gap, the god-man suddenly shortened the distance. Crush the first person's jaw with the hilt of the sword to render them unable to fight, and then plunge the blade into the shoulder of the second attacker with a fluid motion.
I didn't even have time to scream. The punch immediately bured the two men in their chests and knocked them unconscious.
It took only a few seconds to take down the two attackers.
Compared to the techniques of the gods, the Night Sky Star is much more brutal. The two attackers who were close to him quickly kicked twice the moment they first appeared. The fierce kick directly broke their sternum, like a kite with a broken string flying upside down, hitting the uncle behind him and not moving, and I don't know if he was dead or fainted.
"Uh~ a little harder."
Accustomed to fighting opponents such as Taro and Duoduo, who forgot to keep his hand for a while, Night Sky Star really felt that these attackers were too weak. It's like last night's battle with the Wind Morning God, who was almost powerless to fight back by him. Although he has the advantage of weapons, the gap between them is too great.
"Where did these guys come from?"
After confirming that all four were completely unconscious, the god-man asked.
"Who knows? After all, I'm hated by all sorts of guys. Needless to say, there are many enemies outside the empire and inside. Sending assassins is commonplace. ”
"Could it be that this kind of thing happens every day?"
"It's not every day, anyway, cleaning these guys is also the maid's job."
Greivas pushed her glasses with her fingertips, grinning.
"However, the boy's sword skills are pure assassination techniques."
"That's what I do."
"You learned the technique at that assassination facility?"
"・・・・・・" knew that he couldn't hide it, and the early gods were silent again.
Yetianxing, who knew everything about this, was not rejected by his identity, and patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
Feng Zaoshenren's body trembled slightly, and a crack opened in his frozen heart. As an orphan from the assassination agency "Teaching Academy", Kazao Kamito is actually very inferior, and he is very worried that he will be treated differently by others because of his identity.
The more inferior you are, the more you crave the approval of others; The more you have low self-esteem, the more you want to hide your identity. When the identity is exposed, the sense of identity is also deeper.
If the Wind Morning God didn't have a good impression of the Night Sky Star before, then now, he has regarded him as a confidant and friend.
"I'm not particularly interested in the boy's origins." Greivas shrugged her shoulders at the acquiescence of the Wind Morning Godman, "It's just that there are all kinds of things wrong with that kind of sword technique. Not suitable, fit, sword, dance. ”
"Sword dance?"
It is the most advanced form of the ritual of the elven envoy to the elf. For the orphans of the "teaching house" who were all assassins, it was a word that had no fate.
Grevas's gray eyes kept looking at the man of God as if he were observing.
"- Boy, do you want to get stronger?"
"・・・・・・ strong?"
Faced with a sudden questioning, the man of God was confused.
I want to be stronger - I haven't thought about it that way until now.
However, strength and weakness are closely related to life. In fact, if you don't get stronger, you won't be able to survive in that hellish facility.
After thinking about this for a while,
"I don't understand."
The godman shook his head.
"At least, I don't have the desire to get stronger—I think so."
"-I see."
As if she understood something, Greivas nodded alone.
Then she cast a sad look at the man of God—
"You're strong. I'm afraid that he is also the strongest one among the assassins in the whole continent. But, in the end, it is nothing but the power of emptiness. ”
There was a stir in his chest at the words of Greivas. The man of God reflexively opened his mouth, "--I have no reason to want to be stronger. ”
"Hmm-"
As if interesting, Greivas held her jaw with her hand.
"It seems that it is necessary to let you wake up first, boy."
Then, I don't know what to think about it.
While the god-man bowed his head in contemplation, Greivas looked at the idle Night Star again.
"Little brother, your strength, speed, and reflexes are all above the kid, but if the two of you fight to the death, you must be the one who dies!"
"Uh・・・・・・" Nightstar was speechless.
"Do you know where you lost?"
In response to Grevas's question, Nightstar tried to answer, "Skill? ”
"Barely right. In addition to skill, there is also mentality. I can see that both the attack you had last night and the two assassins you just dealt with were like a game. ”
Ye Tianxing's eyelids couldn't help jumping, with the backing of the future system, he did have a feeling of playing the world every time he crossed. Even in the face of the sneak attack of the Fengzao gods, he was not angry at all, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with himself from beginning to end.
"I don't know what kind of cards you have to make it so easy for you, but it's always a good idea to be careful."
"Thank you sister for reminding me."
Greivas "um" for a moment, but didn't say anything more.
For the next few days, both the Night Star and the Wind Morning God were forced to devote themselves to the glorious and great work of the maid.
"Skystar, boil the bath water. It's too hot to stand it, please be warm. ”
"Yes, yes."
"God-man, please clean up the courtyard. The same goes for the pruning of the grass and trees. ”
"Roger."
"Tianxing, how's lunch going? I really want to eat Lauren Frost's carefully seasoned meat dishes. ”
"I've only cooked normal cooking! Your requirements are too high, I can't do it! ”
"There's a recipe, right? Everything has to be done from scratch. ”
"I don't know what will happen・・・・・・"
Ye Tianxing, who lives alone, has experience in cooking, but he never imagined that he would become a family cook man one day... Okay, it's wrong, it's a professional maid.
Fortunately, after being tired of gnawing on instant noodles for a while, Night Sky Star, who is an otaku, learned a little bit of craftsmanship ruthlessly, and did a decent job in the face of Grevas's strict requirements. Well~ Although Greivas felt that the taste was not authentic, she ate it all while complaining.
After a few days of getting along, the wind early gods are very grateful to the night sky star. He has only studied assassination, and his hands-on ability in life is simply a mess, and many things are taught by Night Sky Star. If you meet the night star, you won't be able to work together, and the relationship will heat up quickly (fog)・・・・・・
The most troubling of all is the inability to fully use fire within the empire today.
The reason for this is the rebellion of the "Calamity Elf" that took place a few weeks before the destruction of Miè by the "Teaching Academy" last year.
I heard that the Elf King, who was originally serving the Fire Elf King, suddenly snatched the strongest fire elf "Levatin" from the sacrificial temple, and then disappeared, causing the Fire Elf King to go berserk in anger. Enraged, the Fire Elf King burned along the empire's territory, wiping out the power of fire from the territory.
Therefore, whenever fire is to be used, the Night Sky Star and the Wind Morning God have to capture the fire attribute spirits that can become fire from the "Elven Forest".
However, the most important work is not household chores. Instead, when the housework is free, the assassins who are staring at Grevas's life are repelled one by one, according to the daily routine.
"You're really, hated by all sorts of guys."
After defeating the enemy again, the Kazao Kamito muttered sarcastically.
"After all, when I was a knight, I wasn't as sleek as I am now."
"Is it sleek now?"
Night Star was stunned. The wind was already shivering.
The Wind Morning God is working hard to liberate the sealed contract spirits. On the contrary, the Night Sky Star General is honing his housework skills while carrying out the basic training of "Spiritual Light Fluctuation Fist". Although the Holy Light Qi had not increased much, after cultivating during this period of time, Ye Tianxing clearly felt that his control over his power had increased a lot.
And in order to improve efficiency, Night Sky Star also deliberately set up a spell spirit ingot cultivation trip for himself that can quickly enhance his spiritual power. The hands and feet with the spell ingots on them will be extremely heavy as if they were tied to lead, and they can only move freely if the spiritual power covers the whole body. In order to adapt to the existence of the mantra ingot, the Night Star must be full of power at all times. Now, Night Sky Star is completely used to it, and even if he sleeps, he has no problem.
The longer the spell spirit ingot is worn, the more Holy Light Qi will increase when unlocked. After all, the Holy Light Qi also evolved from the foundation of spiritual power.
Night Sky Star believes that the day the spell spirit ingot is unlocked, his combat power will increase exponentially. As for how much it will improve, even he himself is looking forward to it
