Cabin for two with Maid of Mond

"Thank you, Mr. Toth, my side is fine too, there should be nothing missing."

Amber smiled and pushed back the container that Toth was about to hand back.

"These don't need to be handed back to the Knights, they are all our own income. I also picked them up, and you can keep your share. Also, although these materials can be sold to Mora, if you may use them in the future, you can use them yourself. It would be more cost-effective to keep the material directly. It depends on personal considerations."

"Is that so...Understood, thank you."

Toth didn't refuse, and accepted it with a smile.

Now I am poor and white, and I really need funds.

He also noticed that before Amber deliberately pointed out the area with richer drops to Thoth, Amber only picked up a few of them deliberately.

Toth took it to heart.

"Ugh……"

At this moment, Amber sighed softly.

Of course it's not because of the little income.

Amber first looked at the traces of the entire battle, frowning, and then looked up into the distance.

There is a gathering of wind and clouds hidden in the sky.

Volume One, Eleven Chapters, Flowers of No Honor

The morning sun shone obliquely into the room, reflecting a little dust floating in the air.

The workmanship of the wooden desk is concise and fine, the vertical flags reveal the solemnity, the books all over the wall reflect the thickness of knowledge, the large and small notes on the territory map reflect the busyness and responsibility, and the sword and shield decoration reminds the glory.

The headquarters of the West Wind Knights, the head's office.

The real owner of this office hasn't come back for a while, but the one who is temporarily stationed instead is also a person who is qualified to be here.

Acting head, Qin.

Her slender figure turned her back to the desk, stood by the window, pressed her hand on the window sill, and looked at the city view outside the window.

The sun is shining, the wind is beautiful...

However, there are dark clouds gathering far away in the sky, and there is a hidden color of oppression.

Two delicate golden eyebrows, locked in sorrow.

"The abnormal proliferation of slime? Is this situation also related to the chaos of 'it'?"

Although it was a clear and powerful young female voice, the lingering worry made the tone low.

"It's hard to say."

The one who answered was the tall, dark man leaning on the side of the pillar with folded arms, his other eye not covered by the blindfold was half-squinting, seemingly hazy and lazy.

kaya.

It wasn't that he wanted to put on a pose on purpose, it was just that he was still a little sleepy, because he actually got up again not long after sleeping.

Even so, he was still able to effectively answer the questions of the person by the window.

"If there is no other possibility, it is natural to blame it on 'it', right? But before that, since 'it' appeared and made trouble, even if the business road and material transportation were affected, the Qiuqiu people had more abnormal movements ...But the chaos did not affect the slime, and now the slime has suddenly started to grow randomly, I think it is not safe to use the expansion of the influence of the same thing to generalize it."

Qin pondered for a moment, her blond hair seemed to be shining in the sun.

"Although the levels are very different, the essence is also born from the condensation of elements. Will it affect enough to cause the slimes to become abnormal?"

Kaiya thought for a while, then shook her head: "If that's the case, those little crystal butterflies flying leisurely on the grassland will also go crazy, and even the 'phaseless elements' may go crazy...well, those phaseless conditions We still need to monitor and investigate, but at least Jingdie seems to be normal, at most, the range of activities is affected by the unstable wind."

Qin gave a "hmm" and nodded slowly.

"But..." Kaiya hesitated for a moment, then continued: "It's like the slime has a problem now, Jingdie is crazy, and Wuxiang is crazy, or it may just not be there yet."

Qin's figure froze for a moment, and then sighed silently.

"I'll ask Lisa for her opinion later, but now I can only confirm...we still need more information. We must further grasp the changes in this land, our vision is too severely cut by various obstacles. "

"Hey, it's my 'cavalry captain''s dereliction of duty."

Kaiya spread her hands, different from the content of her words, her expression did not show the slightest remorse.

The blond figure in the sun just smiled.

"With any one person, there is no way to fill the non-existent cavalry formation on our own. Where is the negligence? The top priority is to solve the problem with the resources we do have."

"That's right, we must confirm where the sword should point." Kaiya nodded and said, "If there are other crux of the problem, even if we don't have the time to deal with it, at least we must know it, otherwise it will be very dangerous. May trip over a pebble after jumping over a deep ravine."

Qin agreed, then stretched out her hand and rubbed between her eyebrows.

"Manpower... we need to make adjustments again..." she said distressedly: "After we found the Qiuqiu people to move earlier, we worked hard to collect information. We thought we had drawn a new safe path, but we didn't expect the last time I don’t know where a group of people came, and they almost... well, we must try our best to prevent similar things from happening again.”

Kaiya also turned serious, and said: "At that time, I was worried whether the three major clans of Dadaupa Valley would come out in full force...Although the result of doing so would be their own death, but if the three major clans really gathered With a siege, the blood in the fruit wine lake will definitely not only belong to Qiuqiu people."

Qin nodded and said: "As the largest group of Qiuqiu people in our territory, although the three major tribes combined are no match for us, it is enough to make Mond slip a few more steps into the abyss where he will never return."

Kaiya continued: "In particular, there are not just one or two guys waiting for us in the abyss... There are also some guys who are not from Qiuqiu or elemental life, but are equally disgusting enough."

Kaiya turned her head slightly, looking in a direction where there was nothing.

But everyone in the room understood that Kaiya's sight pointed to a high-end hotel in the city that was completely booked out by some people some distance away.

"Forget it here, outside, be careful." Qin turned back to the window again, with her hands behind her waist. "Anyway, they are allies. They are just distributing our energy with their mouths and pens, so let's accompany them. Our swords have no spare power to point in more directions."

"Well, I also believe that they won't do anything reckless...as long as, no, there is enough interest." Kaiya bit the syllables slightly, and then her voice became light again. "Of course, it's a fact that we don't have much spare capacity. The overall policy is up to you."

"... Thank you for your hard work. Thank you."

Then, there was a brief silence in the office.

It's not a cold silence, this silence represents further thinking, consideration, and——

"That... Captain Qin?"

A third voice sounded.

There were three people in the office from the beginning to the end, but the third person had been obediently listening to the discussions of the bosses.

The reconnaissance knight Amber, who has returned from his patrol mission and completed a rough report earlier.

Although she is not a cadre and generally does not participate in high-level meetings, the discussion just started after her report, and she was not particularly dismissed.

Of course, it also has something to do with Amber's trustworthiness in the eyes of high-level officials.

"Oh, sorry, Amber." Jean smiled apologetically. "When you come back from the mission, it's time to take the time to rest. You can leave first."

"Thank you Captain Qin, ah, but I actually want to say, that..."

Amber hesitated a little.

But under the watchful eyes of the two superiors, she did not dare to hesitate for too long.

"Now our manpower is getting tighter and tighter, like this... still can't let Noelle officially join the group?"

Hearing this, Qin was silent for a moment, while Kaiya always wore a smile that no one could see through.

Without waiting for an immediate response, Amber plucked up his courage and continued: "I also saw the scene, two [thug] level powerful Qiuqiu people, plus a lot of small soldiers. Then we found out, among them there were only The last thug was defeated in cooperation with Mr. Toth, which means that Noelle almost defeated it by himself, such a record... can't you agree with her?"

Amber clenched his hands tightly, sincerely.

What she didn't fully say was that most of the official knights probably couldn't achieve the same record.

For example, Bruce, who is lazy and boastful, or Guy, who complains all day long.Amber could tentatively imagine their serious expressions in extreme situations, but he couldn't imagine them defeating an enemy group of the same level alone.

She was willing to believe that most Zephyr knights would fight to the last moment to protect the people.

But how many enemies are left after that last moment is not determined by will alone.

This time, Noelle not only showed his will, but also proved his combat effectiveness.

That girl's job title is a maid, not a knight.And everyone knew that she had longed to become an official knight.

Noelle is an unhonored flower.

Volume [-], Chapter [-], Noelle's "Weakness"

Why did Noelle fail to become a knight?

There is no need to say much about will.

In terms of age, let alone Amber, who is about the same age, there is an even more extreme example in the confinement room.

In terms of perseverance, no one in Mond City dared to boast that he must be superior to that maid.

In terms of combat power... In the past, there were not many opportunities to verify, and Noelle is not the type to boast of military exploits. I can only guess that when she traveled across the wilderness many times for various missions, she may have had some actual combat, right?However, after the incident more than two days ago, there is also evidence in this regard.

Although it is well known that Noelle wanted to become a knight, she did not express her dissatisfaction with her current status as a maid, and she was even very serious about it. Usually, she would not let others realize that "Oh, this kid hasn't become a knight yet." thing.

But now, listening to the conversation between the two chiefs complaining about the lack of people, Amber couldn't help but want to say a few words.

In this regard, Qin looked directly at Amber and responded seriously.

"I'm glad you're thinking about your friend, so I should explain it to you frankly. After listening to it, it's up to you to decide whether to tell Noelle the whole thing."

"Good... good!"

"In short, she still has weaknesses in her heart, and we don't think it is appropriate to expose her to danger."

"……what?"

Amber made no secret of his astonishment and bewilderment.

weak?

That Noelle who dared to climb the snow mountain alone as soon as he thought about it?

Qin also expected this, and raised her hand to signal the other party to be patient and wait for her next words.

"I said it too succinctly, and it is inevitable that there will be ambiguity. Let me put it this way, the so-called weakness is for herself. She cannot face the fact that she may not be able to help others, and is dragged away by excessive dedication and service. ... This end point is likely to be its own destruction."

Kaia on the side also added: "Of course we also know that she is very obedient and obedient. Now that she is a maid instead of a knight, she also remembers the difference in duties, plus various advantages that don't need to be explained. , which undoubtedly shows that she has quite excellent qualities."

"Then..." Amber's eyes lit up.

"But this is scary."

"Hey?"

Terrible, Kaya's words made Amber startled.

"Where is the horror? Think about it, she is so obedient and serious, but she can't hold back her overstretched heart to help others. This is based on the premise of her [consciously not being a knight]? Then you Think about it, when she really got the identity with the purpose of sacrifice and dedication, after that..."

Kaiya paused for a moment, deliberately fading the smile that had been on her face all along.

"Will she still risk her own life?"

Amber panicked and tried to organize his words.

"But... knights, we, originally..."

"In order to protect Mond, guard the people, sacrifice and dedicate." It was Qin who took over the words, and she said in a soft voice: "The path we abide by has its own measure. One side of the ruler is sacrifice, and the other side is self-love. Most people , including myself, are naturally close to the end of self-love, and the education and training of the knights is to make us move closer to the middle on this basis."

When Qin said this, she stopped for a while to give Amber time to digest.

After the scouting knight's face turned bright and dark a few times, the acting captain continued to speak.

"As for the relatively rare ones that are too biased toward the end of the sacrifice, we also hope to turn them to the middle... But you should understand that this is not the strong point of knight education, so we need to spend more time and wait for growth."

Amber opened his mouth, did not speak, and lowered his head.

She has not really understood the words of the two officers, but she has accepted the status quo arrangement.

"Ah~ Well, it's actually not that serious." Kaiya answered in a light voice. "After all, if it's really serious, we will definitely reject it. As for Noelle's situation, to put it bluntly, that's all there is to it, just spend a little more time helping her adjust her mentality."

"Exactly." Qin said with a smile, "Many of her qualities are beyond my complacency. The Knights have no reason to let go of such a talent."

"I understand." Amber let out a breath, then bowed his head deeply. "I'm sorry, Captain Qin, Captain Kaya, I was thinking too much."

"There's nothing to be sorry for, as I said just now, I'm glad you're thinking of your friends like this." Qin smiled at first, but soon turned dark, and said, "Also, in fact, we should also reflect on the arrangement for Noelle policy."

"what?"

Amber was taken aback, I was just persuaded by you, why did you turn around and tear down the stage yourself.

"The situation, the situation." Kaiya waved his hand and said, "No matter what the plan is, in the face of the environment, heh, it's all false. If you can't help but mention this to us, it's actually a signal, Meng Germany is in a lot of trouble now, we are short of manpower, and Noelle has a bloody battle... These facts add up, and it is impossible for us to go at the original pace."

Qin also said: "When Amber came to report, the reason why Captain Kaya was also in this office was partly to discuss this issue. The original plan to assign Noelle to do other tasks is not suitable for use now, but The idea is still feasible, but the task itself..."
