The knocks on the door became more rapid. Xia Yuan stood up and looked through the peephole. He found a familiar figure with long light blond hair standing outside the door.
It was Ravshini, but why was she here at this time?
Xia Yuan remembered the guard from Earl Warwick's mansion who had just appeared. As if he had guessed something, he quickly opened the door.
"...teacher."
Rafshini blinked her eyes slowly, and the moment Xia Yuan opened the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her body, which had been holding on tightly, could no longer support itself, and she fell forward.
"Fuck, that hurts."
Lafshini had a pair of beautiful long horns, which were sharp and heavy. It really hurt Xia Yuan when they fell on his shoulder, and even cost him more than a dozen drops of blood.
"She's hurt."
Mace stood up and took a look at the blood on Ravshini's body. "She has sword wounds on her body. The most serious one is the wound on her shoulder... Fortunately, it didn't penetrate."
"Thank you for taking care of the wound... I'll go to the corner to buy some medicine."
"Ok."
To treat external injuries, although Jian is not a doctor, as a Triple Crown Knight, she will still treat some wounds urgently.
After bringing Lafshini into the bedroom, Jian immediately discovered that it seemed difficult for her to sleep on the bed given her physical condition.
First of all, it would be difficult for her to sleep on her back with such a long tail. Besides, she also had a pair of sharp horns that were long enough to pierce through any pillow.
However, Jian didn't care much about the pillow. After trying his best to put Lavishini on her side on the bed, Jian began to stop the bleeding.
Xia Yuan always carries a medical kit with him every time he goes out in case of emergency, but these injuries require more medicines, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., because the wounds may become infected if left untreated for such a long time.
After basic hemostasis, Xia Yuan came back with medicines bought from a nearby pharmacy. Neither he nor Jian was a doctor, so they couldn't prescribe the right medicine accurately. They could only prescribe some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs for her.
The bleeding finally stopped, and Ravshini's frowning brows finally relaxed at this moment... Of course, two holes were poked in the pillow.
"Then let's just wait for her to wake up."
"What do you think about what happened tonight, boss?"
Jian raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan out of habit.
Xia Yuan frowned, "Even I am not omniscient and omnipotent... I have no idea what happened tonight."
"The only thing I know is that Abrana and Ravshini are Earl Warwick's most valued students, although Abrana doesn't care." Xia Yuan analyzed, "One possibility is that someone invaded the Earl's mansion and did not attack the nobles of Tara, but attacked the two students that Earl Warwick valued most... But this does not explain why Ravshini is here."
"If there is a mastermind behind this, it could be either the nobles of Tara or the nobles of Victoria. After all, there are still many nobles of Tara who are coveting the position of Earl of Warwick. As for the nobles of Victoria, it doesn't seem surprising that they would target the Earl of Warwick."
After listening to this, Jian hummed, "After Ravshini recovers from her injury, do you want to send her back?"
Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes, with a cold look in them. He shook his head, "No need."
"Perhaps Ravshini is safest here."
"why?"
"Because returning to Earl Warwick's side will make those behind this attack feel frustrated. If there is one attack, there will be a second attack. Even if Earl Warwick has the best and most guards, it is easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against an arrow from the dark. If he is unlucky next time, then the person who is hit will not be his shoulder but his heart."
He rested his chin on his hand and said, "I think what you said makes sense, boss."
"As for where to go in the future, it depends on Ravshini's wishes. She is about the same age as me, so I don't need to be her guardian to decide for her."
Xia Yuan complained and left the bedroom with Jian. Before leaving, he pulled down the curtains and turned off the lights for Lafshini.
When Mandela came back, she heard that Lavshini was injured and lying on the bed resting, and she immediately became worried. However, after hearing that her bleeding had stopped and she needed to rest, she obediently returned to her room.
"...Mandela is coming home later and later now. It's almost one in the morning. Should I set a house rule that she must come home before the wee hours?"
"Haha, I've already told you that Mandela is a grown-up girl." Jian smiled and drank the unfinished wine on the table. She glanced at Xia Yuan and said, "Didn't you notice that Mandela's aura is even stronger than before she came to Oak Forest County?"
"You mean the Originium Technique?"
"Maybe. It can't be martial arts, right?"
Xia Yuan understood. From the fact that Mandela had been staying around the cemetery every night these days to practice her Originium skills... judging from her behavior, she guessed that she must have received some inspiration, or had an encounter.
The next day, after Xia Yuan finished washing up, he came to the living room and found Mandela busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. When she saw Xia Yuan, she smiled and turned her head to the side, "Ah, Brother Xia Yuan, you are awake, and Sister Lavshini is awake too, but Sister Jian said that she has lost too much blood, so it is better for her to rest in bed."
"Where's the mace?"
"Sister Jian said she went to investigate the situation. She said she was investigating the movements of the Earl's Mansion or something."
Xia Yuan rubbed Mandela's head. It was just as Jian said, Mandela was a grown-up girl now. Not only Mandela, but also Senomi, they had shed their past little girl appearances at some point and were growing up healthily under his training.
"Well...I should buy you some new clothes. You've grown a lot taller now."
"I'll ask Sister Jian for help." Mandela's face turned slightly red. Apart from anything else, she now had to change into a new size of underwear. She didn't know if it was because she ate too well with Brother Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan happily rubbed the cat's head. Mandela took the opportunity to rub his chest for a while, and then quickly went out. It was obvious that he was going to practice his Originium skills again.
Carrying two breakfasts, Xia Yuan pushed open Lavshini's bedroom door.
She is already awake.
Lavshini's age is almost the same as Xia Yuan's, but according to Sakta's age definition, Xia Yuan is still living his youth.
"Um... Teacher Xia Yuan... Thank you."
Rafshini's voice was very gentle. She seemed to rarely speak, but she was essentially a gentle person. She nodded softly to thank Xia Yuan, and her every move revealed her aristocratic upbringing.
She was leaning against a punctured pillow with her tail hanging from one end of the quilt. Although she was sitting on the bed, it was obvious that she was sitting very hard.
Xia Yuan handed her the breakfast, "Mandela made it, and it tastes a bit bland."
"I'll have to thank that kid later...Thank you. I'm going to start eating."
Ravshini started moving her fork, while Xia Yuan ate while looking at the Oak Grove Today newspaper that Mandela had bought this morning... As expected, there was nothing on it. The whole article was still advocating the friendship and integration of the Tara nobles and the Victoria nobles, and the reunion of the two families. As for what happened last night... Did anything happen last night?
"Teacher Xia Yuan...you don't have any questions?"
Xia Yuan came in front of Lafshini, as if he was giving her a lesson, his tone was calm, and his wings dyed his back golden.
"I'm all ears for anything you're willing to tell me, Ravshine."
Chapter 124: A-level series of tasks [Red Dragon Division]
"My sister told me to find the path I want."
"Her path...is not for me."
Ravshini spoke softly. She sat quietly on the bed with her long tail placed on the bed, with only tranquility in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Xia Yuan didn't understand. Since when did this Lavshini also like the Riddler?
Xia Yuan only knew about Victoria's plot from the players. As a RuRoRo player, the most thing he did when he was online was to watch players having fun in live broadcasts or on forums. It can be said that he was the person who dug the deepest into the plot.
In his previous life, he died at the end of 3.0, after Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals got involved in Victoria's plot. At that time, players had initial contact with Victoria and Tara, and Mandela's information was also published by players at that time. As for the identities of the leaders of both sides, players have not yet dug out the information.
Or rather, Xia Yuan sent it before the information was dug out.
"Teacher Xia Yuan...can I trust you?"
Xia Yuan came back to his senses. He looked at Lavshini calmly, "Although you and I are about the same age, but since you call me teacher, I will naturally treat you as my student. How can a teacher not trust his students?"
Ravshini hummed softly, "My race...is not Vaifan."
"...It's Draco."
Xia Yuan didn't think of anything when he heard the word, but then he was suddenly shocked. He remembered that before playing Ark, he researched all the selectable races on the official website and guessed what the different races were good at and not good at, but he had never heard of the Drake race at that time.
He had only known their identities before, but had never thought about them in terms of race.
It was not until the late stage of Civilization 2.0, when players were qualified to enter the National Library in the capital, that they read about Draco in a few words.
The Drakes, with ancient blood, are the original inhabitants of the Victoria area. They were once one of the two royal families in Victoria, symbolizing force and desire. However, the ethnic group has gradually withered and died out about 20 years ago. There are only a few pure Drakes left.
Drake is also Victoria's nominal king.
If Ravshine is Draco, then her sister Abrana will also be Draco. So it seems that anyone who has gone through history or played Paradox games knows what their teacher, Earl Warwick, is thinking. He wants to be second to none in the future. No... he may be second to none and carve his name as the imperial teacher into the tombstone with his own hands.
There was nothing wrong with doing this, but Ravshini was here, and from the tone of her voice, it seemed that Abrana had planned all this and sent her here.
Did something go wrong during the education process? Or did Warwick himself have bad intentions? Xia Yuan couldn't guess, because teaching and educating people can subtly change a person, and even the person himself has no way of knowing. He didn't know what Earl Warwick said or what he pointed out... But he knew that Earl Warwick failed.
From the moment Ravshini left the Earl's Mansion, Xia Yuan knew that Earl Warwick had lost completely... As a student, Abrana had planned everything, but now she is still in Earl Warwick's Mansion.
Why didn't he kill the Earl of Warwick to vent his anger?
Xia Yuan was a little surprised, because from the daily communication in class, he knew that Abrana was a very opinionated person. She was ambitious, visionary, and willing to stop and wait. He always felt that she was not a simple noble lady, even though she said she was not... Now it seems that she is not, this is a necessary condition to become a king.
Is she planning to keep the Earl of Warwick and use him slowly?
Xia Yuan had a flash of inspiration. How could he not have thought of this? Abrana was not well-known in the Tara circle. If she killed Earl Warwick now and raised the banner of rebellion, it would directly bring the war to the table and ruin the opportunity to make a fortune in silence in advance. Now she let Earl Warwick use her and let Earl Warwick stand in front. Everyone would only pay attention to Earl Warwick, not Abrana who was standing behind the scenes.
No wonder she asked herself the question about how to use villains that day. It can be seen that in Abrana's eyes, Earl of Warwick has become a "villain".
Ravshini noticed the change in Xia Yuan's eyes and was impressed. Although she was a man of few words, she was definitely not a fool. She knew that Teacher Xia Yuan might have seen through Abbrana's plan. She was also surprised when she learned about it. She didn't expect Xia Yuan to be able to associate it so quickly.
With such knowledge and experience, he is worthy of being the teacher chosen by my sister.
"So this is one in the light and one in the dark... Ravshini, what do you want to do?"
Xia Yuan came to Lafshini. She was shorter than Xia Yuan, but her long black horns were much taller than Xia Yuan. He lowered his head and asked gently.
There was a trace of confusion in Rafshini's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at her chest. In fact, she didn't know what she could do.
Gentle and quiet, she has always been with her sister, doing things according to her preferences and obeying her orders. Only when she is alone and listening to Xia Yuan's lectures does Lafshini have the opportunity to be herself and act based on her own thoughts.
"Your sister, Abrana, stayed with Earl Warwick. I think she would stay behind Earl Warwick and use him to achieve her desired goals and become a leader... But this road will definitely be accompanied by blood, suffering, and twists in the dark... Ravshini, this is something your sister carried on her shoulders alone. She sent you out, and obviously, she didn't want you to suffer the same life as her."
"In other words, you are free, Ravshini. The rest of your life is yours. You can even completely get rid of the racial name of Draco and live simply as a Vaifan on this land of Terra... The final choice is yours, Ravshini. What do you want to do?"
Rafshini raised her head and looked at Xia Yuan who was talking freely. She was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there any way I can help my sister?"
"Do you know what your sister wants to do?"
"..."
Ravshini opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
"That is a bloody road to becoming a king." Xia Yuan narrowed his eyes. "Of course, Earl Warwick is still alive now, so he won't rashly start a war, but in the long run, it's still hard to say."
"I have a suggestion."
Xia Yuan said softly, "Your current identity is not suitable for staying in Victoria. When Abrana steps behind the scenes, you will become a target for all those who have ulterior motives if you appear alone. It is time for you to disappear."
Ravshini nodded.
"...Okay, then what?"
"Come with me to Trimont, Columbia. Although science is prevalent in Columbia, you, Lavshini, are obviously more suitable for the battlefield. You can try to apply for Trimont Military Academy." Xia Yuan glanced at Lavshini's slender hands. Such hands are particularly powerful when holding a spear. "When your sister gains a certain advantage and a certain fame, it's up to you whether to stay or leave."
"You call me teacher, so I naturally treat you as a student. This is my advice to you. You can choose and make your own decision. You are an adult, Ravshini, so I respect your decision."
Lafshini pursed her lips and then looked at Xia Yuan.
"...It will cause trouble for the teacher."
"No need... To be honest, I already have too many children at home, and I urgently need another adult to share the burden with me... ahem."
Rafushini hummed softly, and she looked at Xia Yuan, her emerald green eyes as clear as a mirror, "...Teacher, I'll be counting on you from now on..."
The matter had been decided, and Ravshini continued to rest. If she were an ordinary person, she would have been lying in bed with a pale face after losing so much blood. However, as a member of the Drak race, Ravshini could not even walk around, but was persuaded by Xia Yuan to go back to bed.
After settling Lavishini, a task popped up in front of him.
[You have triggered the A-level series of tasks [Red Dragon Division]]
[Mission details: One of your students, Ravshine, is one of the few Draco left in the world. If she stays with Earl Warwick, she will be exploited, confused, and miserable. Fortunately, you successfully persuaded Abrana. She didn't want her sister to become a victim, so she sent her to you... You are aware of the power of Draco's bloodline. At the same time, as a teacher, you also know that your thoughts and decisions can ultimately affect Ravshine's own views.]
[Task requirements: Guide Lavshini as a teacher and help her grow gradually]
[Reward: 200000 experience points]
It turned out to be a series of tasks related to individuals. Xia Yuan turned off the system prompt bar. The series of tasks were linked together. If a link in the middle failed, you had to start over... But the NPC's series of tasks were different. Sometimes the NPC would die if a link in the middle failed. If the NPC died, the series of tasks would definitely fail.
Given Lavishini's sensitive identity, it was not easy for her to grow up healthily in a foreign country. Moreover, Colombia was very close to Victoria and had a grudge against Victoria. Colombia was originally an alliance of the northwestern city-states under Victoria's rule. Affected by the invasion of Gaul, Victoria had no time to take care of these cities in the northwestern wilderness, which also led to the independence of Colombia. Afterwards, the Colombian army repelled the attack of the Duke of the Border Territory.
Taking her back to Colombia is also a dangerous decision, but it is relatively safer than the current situation.
However, if Earl Warwick was killed by Abrana, it would not be impossible for Abrana to be in the open and Ravshine to be in secret, but Abrana has already made her decision, and so has Ravshine.
