The stuffed days always pass surprisingly quickly, and weeks have passed before the airboat attack has passed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Jessica's stern gladiatorial invitation, a fief flew in front of Alina. She had to ignore the letters, for she was already in the circle of the nobility, and even Christina sternly told her that the matter had to be dealt with.

So, Krendil stepped into the ring again. Compared to last time, he was full of fighting spirit and had no worries, because Jessica did what he said and did not embarrass his family again. Unfortunately, though, his performance was even worse than last time, as Krendil was brought down by Kukarun - he was able to throw a fireball last time. There was a burst of boos from the surrounding audience, and although she said that she didn't care, Alina still felt embarrassed to see that Crendil, who represented her, was easily brought down.

So, she and Jessica agreed that in early autumn, Alina would personally go to the court to duel Kukaren, the bald giant who had won one hundred and eight consecutive victories in the arena.

And now, with only seven days left before the gladiatorial fight, Alina, known as the "Lady with the Sword", is reading a book intently in the "Elemental Engineering" class.

"Ai, Alina-san. Clendir lowered her head and whispered the name of the half-elf girl.

"Huh?" Alina looked at him, "what's the matter?"

Crendil subconsciously looked away, and he found a thick book spread out in Alina's drawer, the illustration on which told him that it was an adventure novel. He was a little disappointed, because in his heart Alina was not only beautiful and kind, but also hardworking.

"Can you stay for a while after class?"

"No, I can't. ”

Krendil was flustered,

"Sorry to bother you. ”

Noticing the injured expression on the former's face, Alina quickly explained, "I have something urgent after class. ”

"Uh... Clendeir's eyebrows twined, and before Elina could ask curiously, as if he had made some important decision, he reached into the drawer and pulled out a ball of linen wrapped in it.

"What is this. Alina asked.

Krendil glanced around as quickly as a thief, like a child in a crowd of hungry people stealthily pulling out a loaf of bread.

"I... I want to give it to you, a little toy I made with my own hands, I hope you like it. ”

As he spoke, he unraveled the linen, revealing a rudimentary metal figure, though Alina, with her knowledge of painting, distorted the scales of the little golem, making it look like a statue of a child made of plasticine and stone. However, the golem has been finely polished and has a smooth surface.

Crendil carefully watched Alina's expression, and he was secretly relieved to see the curiosity on her beautiful face.

"Wow, will it move?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you do it yourself?"

"Of course. There was a hint of pride in Clendil's tone.

Alina knew that one of Krendil's major courses was "Elemental Engineering" (1), a course to learn how to use the power of elemental crystals on dead objects, and it was one of the favorite classes of the civilian elite, as it meant that they would have no worries about food and clothing after graduation. What nobleman doesn't need an expert in elemental cars and elemental furniture?

However, Krendil, who is only in the second grade, can be called a genius in ten thousand with this metal toy that can walk, and most of his classmates are still studying the deadly complex "elemental energy road map".

"Thank you so much. Alina smiled and held up the little golem, she was always inimmune to novelties, and Clendil looked down shyly. Alina took a closer look and saw that the Golem's name was written on its head, and there was a switch on the back of the Golem.

She placed the little golem on the table and flipped the switch.

The golem's eyes lit up green, and it jerked its feet up and staggered to its feet, looking like it was about to fall at any moment.

"..... Aliana"

Clendil, who had just raised his head, suddenly discovered a terrible fact, which was like an apple plugging his throat and choking words.

Krendil's eyes widened as he stared at the golem as it walked to the edge of the table, and the next step was to fall to the ground, making a noise that broke the discipline of the class. The teacher of this class was not only a respected old professor, but also a well-known person in the field of elemental engineering, and Krendil did not want to make a bad impression on him.

Alina, the only one who could stop it, her crystal eyes full of curiosity, looked at the golem as if she was expecting some miracle. However, the miracle did not happen, and the poor golem fell, waving its legs in vain, still unable to prevent the fact of close contact with the ground.

The muffled sound of metal and the ground silenced the class, and the teacher stopped speaking, his stern gaze on Alina, and everyone's eyes were focused on the humanoid golem on the ground. The golem that fell to the ground, its feet constantly shaking, was very funny.

A big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at the "humanoid golem" on the ground, then at Alina, and then at the frightened Clendir. His thick eyebrows furrowed excitedly, that kid of Clendir, who had been proud since he had found a good master, looked down on people. I'd rather lease him the "Krypton Gold Furnace" and Krypton out the "Sword Lady - Aliana" Lolo card than buy the same "Sword Lady" Lolo card in his hand.

Alina quickly closed the golem and stuffed it into a drawer, and then smiled apologetically at the teacher. The teacher did not delve into it and continued to explain.

Clendil breathed a sigh of relief, and he inadvertently noticed the thick-eyed man, and the two looked at each other,

"You deserve it too?"

The thick-eyed man's contemptuous eyes silently mocked Krendil, who could read the meaning, and that gaze seemed to reveal his inner fantasies with a sharp blade, and he quickly turned his head, avoiding the gaze that made him feel inferior.

At this point, Alina whispered to him, "I'm sorry, I thought it could turn around like a little magic in the free market." ”

Free market..... The little golem...

Free market...

These four words shattered the last bit of Clendil's pride. He suddenly realized that no matter how talented he was, what could he give her was a little golem for a gold coin on the free market.

The little turmoil was over quickly, at least for Alina, who had long since forgotten about it when the bell rang for class.

As soon as she got up, she suddenly remembered that there was still a gift from Clendil in the drawer, but the thin boy took it first.

He stammered a little as he explained, "I... I'm going to fix it.. Tomorrow to you. ”

"That's hard work. ”

With that, she walked out of the classroom with the book in her arms. Looking at the rapidly disappearing silver back, Krendil clung to the cold little golem and sighed.

(1) Elemental Engineering and Elemental Magic:

If you are not willing to contribute your modest efforts to the "noble blue-bloods", you can also choose to throw yourself into the arms of the Central Empire, which needs a large number of "elemental engineers" to keep the war machine running, such as repairing airships and building a communication magic tower or something, to ensure that enough soldiers can be transported to fight against ignorant god believers.

However, because the content of "Elemental Magic Pattern" involves high-precision "Elemental Mechanical Core" and the human body, it is naturally several times more difficult than "Elemental Engineering". According to the rigorous calculations of the authoritative Imperial Agency, the Ministry of Truth, the exact value of this "multiple" is 42 times, which is worth mentioning that this happens to be consistent with the cosmic truth deduced by the legendary Imperial Prophet Martin.

Naturally, such an esoteric course could only be done by noble, naturally intelligent nobles.

(2) The story of the princess:

I forgot to mention in the previous chapter that there is such a story circulating in the West, and one of the episodes is:

A noble princess asks a free ranger for help:

"Merciful hero, be merciful, save me. I am Princess Allison Jussalyn, daughter of Queen Charney the Merciful, daughter of Gilles the Wise. His brother, the wicked Duke of Woolf, brutally murdered him, and imprisoned my three elder brothers, Currie, Collin, and Prince Curwen, and threw them hostage into a horrible prison to force me to marry his fat, stupid son, His Highness Dudley. I bought off the guards and slept with the guards before I escaped. ”
