Chapter 19: Their Lives

It is unknown when or how Wokan negotiated with Molfi-Fili, but judging by the fact that he and Kyld set out with the mercenaries a few days later, his communication was very successful.

Despite the hugs and careful advice they had given before, Bianko inevitably fell into depression after they left. It's no wonder that since Kild became her supervisor, she had hardly been separated from him for too long, especially now that she was in a foreign land, and it was unsettling to be separated from her husband.

That's not to say that Lanorda isn't worried, but she's far more calm than Biankop. She would even comfort her friends and accompany her for the lowest hours of her time in the house. When Bianco's mood finally picked up a bit, Lanoda pulled her out of the room with a semi-forceful pull.

"We can't just stay in the room." "We did make a contract, but ...... Hey, if we have something in the room, we can't tell what's going on because no one is seeing. ”

Ranorda's words made sense, and it made Bianko aware of the fact that Kuild and Wokan were not with them, and they had little ability to protect themselves.

This has happened before, and it's actually not a small number of times, but those are different from now. Molfi-Fili nominally allied himself with them, and also signed a pact. But in the end, the contract is also a dead thing, and it is clearly stated in the contract that all doubts and refutations need concrete evidence.

If some unknown group with collusion with Morfi-Fili attacked them, and no one witnessed the situation, then things would change according to the people of the Goddess Continent.

Of course, they may be a villain's heart, but they are still careful in everything.

Hua Shao also seemed to know the joints in this, at least when they came to the family area, she would always be there to accompany them. Whether it was to prove her family's stance or something else, she was still grateful for her actions by Lanoda and Bianco.

In an unfamiliar environment, it is still a gratifying thing to be able to have relatively familiar people by your side.

Hua Shao is not able to be by their side every minute, as Molphy's brain, she also has a lot of family affairs to deal with. When she needs to bury her head in her papers, Rossiel accompanies them. Rossile tends to bring Elion and her brother Rosser, so it's quite lively.

"The atmosphere in the Goddess Continent is really ...... It's a bit hard to describe. ”

Ranorda's speech seemed to speak to herself, attracting the attention of people, including Bianko.

"What's wrong?" Rossiel poked her head in front of her curiously, "Are we being too noisy?" ”

"No, it's not." Lanoda hurriedly denied her speculation, "It's just that there are some things that are different between the Demon King Continent and the Goddess Continent. ”

Seeing the three girls all staring at her curiously, even the teenager casting inquiring glances, Lanoda seemed to twitch her facial muscles before taking a deep breath.

"In the Demon King Continent, children who have not reached the age of 18 are not allowed to have a social status other than that of a student - whether it is to become a warrior of the family like Rossil, or to become a mercenary like Elian, it is not allowed. Of course, there will be people who fish in troubled waters, but if they are discovered, the person who hired the child will be severely punished, and the child will be forcibly sent to school. ”

"Oh my God!" Rossiel exclaimed, "Don't your children have a choice? Can only go to school? ”

"I can't say that." "If the parents are sound, or the child has a credible enough guardian and family to live with, then the child can choose not to go to school. But...... Seriously, it's rare for someone to keep their children from going to school, because everyone needs to learn something so that they can live independently in the future. ”

"Do I have to go to school if I don't have a guardian?" Rossile asked, "Does it cost money?" ”

"In general, the child will be asked about his or her own wishes first. If the child wants to, then it is possible to find a good guardian for them, or find a foster family who can treat them really well. If they choose to go to school, then they will not be asked to pay, and all the expenses will be taken care of by the Demon King Palace. ”

Lanoda tilted her head in thought for a moment, then added her own statement.

"However, the children who are hired are the exception." "Regardless of whether they have a guardian or not, if they are successfully employed, it means that their guardian is negligent in their duties, or they can be considered to have no place to live," she said mildly. In this case, they will be sent to live in a school where they can live. ”

"It sounds like you're really protective of kids." Rosier said thoughtfully, "There are also schools here in the Goddess Continent, but we don't want children to go there, and in fact, our school here doesn't just let children go. ”

"What does your school teach?" "We teach a lot of basic things there, such as language, arithmetic, etc., and if the older children are older, they can take the interpersonal lessons." But I've heard that schools here in the Goddess Continent don't teach these things, right? ”

"Hmm." This time it was Elianne who answered, "Sister Rhein said that every larger town will have a school that teaches magic, and only those with magical qualifications can enroll. Although it is said that it is easier for children to learn magic, there are also various situations where people will only realize that they have magical literacy when they grow up. ”

"Oh......" Lanoda nodded, "This is the difference between the two continents again - in the Demon King Continent, the descendants of the nobles must have a magical literacy. It's just that we can't be as proficient in magic as you are. ”

"Why do the descendants of nobles necessarily possess magical qualities?" Illian asked obediently, "Sister Rhein did say that if parents have magic, their children have a higher chance of being good at it, but it is never inevitable. ”

"I don't know what the Goddess Continent is...... Lanoda said in confusion, "However, this knowledge has always been circulating on the Demon King Continent, and everyone knows that magic comes from the soul and bloodline. Most of the ancestors of the nobles were gods who followed the demon king thousands of years ago. Even if they are not gods, they will be subordinates of the gods, and they can have the mark given by the gods, and they can use magic even if they are humans. ”

Judging by the expressions on their faces, it was clear that they had never heard anything before. This was very appealing to them, and everyone listened to Lanoda with relish as they told about the Demon King Continent.

Although Bianko had been taught these things by Kyird, she rarely learned them systematically. At her own request, Kyild would prioritize teaching her the ability to preserve herself rather than the history of magic.

"It's weird." Rosier said lively, "It stands to reason that before the war a thousand years ago, the continent we lived on was the same, and there was no difference between goddesses and demon kings, but after the war, this difference actually occurred. I wonder what happened in between? ”

"That's not something I'll know." Lanorda shrugged, "Even if I have a magical literacy, I am not a nobleman. Biya's quality will be relatively high, but she didn't receive the correct teaching when she was a child - no way, the 'special situation' of a few of us - is not the same as the Goddess Continent, if we didn't learn magic when we were young, it would be very difficult for us to grow up, because we don't know how to use it anymore. ”

Rossiel let out a sigh of regret.

"There's nothing too bad about it." Lanoda smiled and said, "Most of the people in the Demon King Continent live an ordinary life, and in the eyes of the common people, magic has almost become the exclusive domain of the nobles. And even the aristocracy did not use magic in their daily lives. I know that the leader of your Fili mercenary group can freely manipulate all kinds of magical elements, but the nobles can't do that. They can only attach magical elements to their weapons, or make fixed magic in the way provided in the books. ”

"Sister Rhine is very powerful." Illian said with a smile, "There are very few people on the Goddess Continent who can use magic like Sister Rhine. ”

"Well, I've heard before that she has the 'magic source of the world'?"

"You know that, huh?" Elianne's eyes widened, "Well, Sister Rhine, the name of our mercenary group comes from the name of that magic source, but Rossos didn't know it before. ”

Speaking of Roseos, the vibe suddenly became a bit heavy.

"I don't know how they're going...... Lanoda frowned slightly, "It's been a few days." ”

"Maybe they went more smoothly and went to several at once?" "Don't worry, if there's any danger, Your Excellency Reins will be able to bring you back as soon as possible." ”

"Well, I hope so." Lanorda allowed herself to raise a smile, "Speaking of which, you've fought Roseos several times before, what was that like?" ……”

Their conversation continued until after dinner, and the odd and bits of trivialities, or the affairs of Roses, would be used as topics.

Hua Shao had wanted to move the room for them, and the location where they lived was a little far from the center of Molphy, and it might not be convenient if they needed anything. But Lanoda politely declined her offer and moved into Bianko's house for the time being. However, she agreed to Hua Shao's suggestion to arrange guards for the neighborhood where they lived.

"It's to protect us and to be able to prove their own innocence." Lanoda explained to Bianko, "Anyway, it's a good thing. I don't think Murphy is really going to do anything to us, just be careful. ”

Biancole nodded absentmindedly, and the maiden cowered lonely on their bed, disappointed to find that the smell of Kyald was almost unpleasant.
