Kylie became a trainee praetorian.
It made Jared and Caroline very happy for her - but that was all.
Because the strength of the two people was really too strong, in their shadows, Kelly's strength exactly how obvious the increase can not be seen at all. As in the previous battle with Prince Heine, Kelly did not even have time to use magic a few more times, even Serenity did not let the water elemental elves, four enemies have already been Caroline killed one, while the others did not have time to run by Jared "forced to the dead end". As a result, the remaining three were in a very awkward situation. For Jared, calling them out was not meant to be a coordinated effort, but just a way to prevent the enemy from leaving the mountain. So also completely did not consider their fighting ability, although Kelly for their own promotion feel very excited, but for two people, even has long been a trainee praise messenger Serenity and Wendy, does not seem to play any "special" powerful, so even they are Kelly's promotion is also a bit unimpressed.
Of course, the two of them weren't fools, and even if they didn't think so, they wouldn't show it on their faces to discourage Kylie. Moreover, due to this unexpected appearance, Kylie seemed to have stopped complaining about being locked up in the basement. She had to hurry, in order to stabilize the close connection between herself and the Spirit of Magic, which was indeed in line with Kylie's style, but along with that, it made Jared's headache turn into a headache.
"Caroline ..."
Standing in the doorway of the castle, Jared stared at what lay before him with a puzzled look.
"As I recall, I think the Academy Director sent us only fifty soldiers."
(That was before, now it has been increased to one hundred and fifty, according to Kelly's words, these people she has already divided up the labor ... Except for a certain person, all of them have found a suitable position for themselves, we just need to let them make their work smooth and there will be no problem.)
Caroline took a tread of heavy paperwork in her hand and handed it over to Jared, who took it casually, pretended to look through it, and then exchanged it for Caroline.
"Can you read?"
(Do I need to give it to you if I can read it?)
Facing Caroline's helpless rhetorical question, Jared only shook his head and smiled bitterly. In fact, the reason why the two of them don't interfere in the city's management affairs, there is another important reason is ... they simply can't read the words of this world.
Due to their busy schedules, and in order to hide their identities from the public, Jared and Caroline had never asked Tawana to learn, and had done their best to keep her out of sight. Jared, with his perverted brain-altering abilities, could learn a script in half a day. But Caroline couldn't. She could "understand" people's speech, but after all, paper doesn't have a mouth, it doesn't express itself. And Caroline didn't have Jared's ability to manipulate her brain, so learning the words of this world was a struggle for her. So the two of them simply left it all to Kelly to accomplish. But now that Kylie couldn't come forward, her original job fell on the two who were the real top managers here in both name and substance.
Caroline was happy to relax, since she couldn't speak, she had no way of conveying any information. If anyone wanted to get an answer from her, they would have to ask, and Caroline would be able to "understand" what they were saying and respond at the same time. But Jared can not, he is not unable to speak, naturally can not be as easy as Caroline, so temporarily holding a few books to read and guess after the end can only barely understand a general, but for Jared, but also enough.
(This is the most lively period...)
Caroline said to Jared as she looked at the houses being built, and completed, on both sides of the street.
"I think we should build our own homes."
(here?)
"... or forget it."
In the face of Caroline's rhetorical question, Jared scratched his head helplessly, and quickly gave up on the proposal that had just surfaced. They were used to floating around, perhaps in the city of lilies, the two would want to find a quiet place to settle down. But definitely not in this forest, for them, this kind of home is really too far away, so some unrealistic, but for them, this is not the most important. As long as two people can be together, what place can't be a home?
And most importantly, this was only their temporary domain. As part of the deal with the Lord of the Heavens, Jared and Caroline would be stripped of their nobility again on trumped-up charges. As part of the deal, the college would then send someone to take over Jared's and Caroline's rights as a matter of course. And they would be free to do as they pleased.
It may not seem fair on the surface, but in reality, Jared's low profile made the Academy President owe them a favor. Sometimes it wasn't just a matter of handing over the money and delivering the goods, but of giving up temporarily in order to negotiate in the long run, which was also Jared's best scam. It's as if you're helping someone work their ass off to get something done, and then at the end of the day you're generous enough to say that you don't need anything.... How is that possible? No one will believe that there really is a good thing in the sky, then remember the favor, until the future need to use it again can be.
（I'm still a little worried about Tawana,though.)
Caroline sidestepped a hurriedly walking traveler and said, with some concern, to Jared.
(After all, what if something happens in a dark tower like that for a hundred days?)
"Don't worry, the little one is not like you, to those gods and ghosts I think the immunity is probably higher than you ..."
Jared hadn't finished making fun of Caroline when he was interrupted by a commotion, and he turned around curiously to see a few people dressed as adventurers arguing with the residents of the place.
"What happened?"
At least he was a lord in name, so Jared barely lifted his spirits and walked over to ask.
"Greetings, Lord."
One of them greeted Jared and Caroline respectfully as they approached. This was one of the first fifty soldiers to arrive, and had seen Jared and Caroline before, as well as being part of a temporary patrol, so his impression was very strong. Those who came later had no idea what the lord looked like.
"Lords?"
The men dressed as adventurers turned and gazed at Jared with teasing eyes, but their eyes widened slightly when they saw Caroline.
"These two little brats with no hair on their heads? How can they be lords? No wonder you don't even have a tavern or inn in this shitty town, how did you become a lord?"
The burly man at the head of the group said with a straight face, as if it were the right thing to do. Then he reached out a fluffy hand to Caroline.
Jared looked as if he hadn't heard a thing.
And the few people who were around to watch, were equally smart in choosing to remain silent.
It wasn't that they were too weak to save her. But because Caroline's strength was obvious to everyone, that day, as a trainee praetorian angel Serenity tried her best, but could not touch Caroline's long and beautiful blonde hair, not to mention this vulgar and lowly man in front of her. Trying to volunteer to go up and perform, it was no less than a knight in shining armor trying to save the princess from the dragon, but when he managed to get to the depths of the cave, he was embarrassed to find the princess slowly and methodically bleeding the dragon.
"Dang!!!"
Sure enough, the moment the man reached out and touched Caroline, the crowd only felt a blur before their eyes, and then the man's giant bear-like body just fell to the ground, Caroline's movements were still so fast that no one could see clearly what she had done.
"All disperse if nothing else."
Jared sneered at the man sprawled on the ground, not yet recovering.
"Besides, we're not a tavern here, so if you're really that desperate for a place to rest ... the loose dirt would be a good choice, and I'll have a stone tablet especially for you."
"You little ...."
The man then reacted, he rolled over and stood up angrily, but before he could show his anger, he was pulled back by a robed figure beside him.
"No send."
Jared didn't give them another chance to speak, but held out his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Of course, only Caroline knew what he didn't say next.
If not, then stay here forever.
"One moment, my lord. I apologize for the rudeness of my companion."
Just then, the man stepped in front of Jared and gently lowered his cape, revealing two cat-like ears.
That surprised Jared for a moment.
It's an orc.
