Chapter 32 (2/2)
Angela covered her hed
”You are a very easy going person, Sir Luke”
”I used to be scolded a lot due tothat you are curious about?”
”I wish to hear about Hansel Kingdodom from which you hail”
”As you wish”
Luke had always been friendly and talkative He didn't need ela's interest and full attention
”Adom would have an academy solely for the children of nobles”
”It's only possible because we are a se as the Sith Empire”
”Still, I think the concept itself is very inspired Thefor nobles is to build connections after all”
Luke continued on from stories about the Academy to his time as an officer at the front lines of the ith orcs, fully enrapturing the attention of the three woe
Even the expressionless maidservants couldn't help but pay attention to Luke's enthralling story
”You talk very well, Sir Luke”
”Ah, my professor at the Academy said this”
”What did he say?”
”He said that I would not drown even if I sank He told me that my mouth would float around in the water”
”Hohohoho”
Angela laughed with a hand over herat Luke
”It see that you would like to know about the Sith Empire?”
Luke's s for this e What he needed most was some advice about the state of affairs in Sith Eela
”To be truthful, I cae ambitions”
”I assumed so”
”However, it turns out that getting a start in a country where you know no one is not so easy”
”No, I don't suppose it would be”
Angela stared at Luke silently
”If you wish, Nigel Viscounty can back you on a lot of matters”
”That would be too enerosity on your part, my lady”
Luke sela's offer
”Since I've cooal, I wish to ood will behind your offer, but decline the offer itself”
”Well, if that is your wish”
Angela did not hide her disappointment
”May I ask you just one thing, my lady?”
”Anything”
”What would be a good way for two knights at the aura expert level to make a lot of money?”
Angela started and stared at Luke with surprise
”A-A lot of money?”
”Yes, my lady”
The an to frown It seereedy fool However, Angela's reaction was different
'There is no way that Sir Luke could be a lowly person manipulated by money'
Angela smiled shyly as she continued to look at Luke
”Well, first I would like to hear your reasons for needing to make a lot of money”
”As you've already seen,erous”
Angela nodded immediately She had observed Luke and Kurotan duel ferociously during the past ten days Just as Luke had said, their training erous, as they did not hold back their blows Injuries had been unavoidable
The pair of aura experts had each broken a bone five or six ti the past ten days that they had trained If they were nor would have stopped there Thankfully, there was a rather talented priest residing in the castle as able to heal them
The priest, from the church of Leines, Goddess of the Lake, healed Luke and Kurotan's broken bones very quickly Once they were healed, Luke and Kurotan i
”The priest see fro, sir Luke”
Angela shook her head as she remembered the pale skeletal face of a priest who had spent too much holy power
”That's e need a lot ofpotions in order to heal ourselves when priests are not around”
”Ah, I understand now”
Angela nodded sternly
”But I'm afraid I can't easily think of a way that two aura expert level knights can earn a lot of money quickly”
”Yes, I'm afraid I can't either”
”Our Sith Eht competitions or even territory wars We also have many lands where monsters roa in a rather large sum of money”
”A mercenary?”
Luke frowned slightly Most knights considered themselves as superior to the common mercenary It was mainly because of their code of conduct, chivalry, was so different fro for money
”You don't seem to be that enticed by the option?”
”Yes, to be honest, my lady If I become a mercenary, I will have to carry out missions even if they do not necessarily fit my moral code”
”Then how about a ht?”
”A ht?”
Luke stared blankly at Angela
”A ht, in the Sith Empire, is an occupation that allows you to take requests or istration”
”How intriguing There isn't anything like a dom”
”If you are a registered mercenary, you absolutely ht does not have to They can still receive missions, however, from the Mercenary Guild”
Luke's eyes began to shi+ne as his interest piqued
”Can you tell me a little more in detail?”
”Mercenary knights usually take on ular mercenaries to coht in knight's coular missions, but they are compensated extremely well”
”Well, this is extremely useful information”
”And…”
Angela lowered her voice
”What is it, my lady?”
”I've heard that two officially knighted aura experts can forhts”
”An Order of hts!”
Undeniably attracted by this idea, Luke silently memorized this information
”It's not easy to hts, however”
”Why is that?”
Angela stared at Luke with serious eyes
”Do you trust Kurotan, Sir Luke?”
Luke nodded without hesitation
”Yes”
”That may be true for now, but ht of the aura expert level will receive welcoo It means that there are many opportunities for their loyalties to be tested”
”nobles stop at nothing to take s Money, power, and beautiful wos in the future, and his loyalty may wane”
Luke sela's truthful words There was no way that a huhts With power and strength cae of heart
”To this day, countless Orders of hts have collapsed due to their htsup the Order could not resist the temptations offered to them by nobles”
”I see…”
”On the other hand, if you can hts, you are sure to be able to grasp fale hand”
Luke stared outside of the carriage as his thoughts raced He was looking at Kurotan, as silently riding on his horse
'Would an orc in the guise of a human be swayed by the temptations of nobles as well?'
Luke sela
”Thank you for this valuable information, my lady”
”It seehts”
”Yes It seeht now”
”You will need to officially knighted as well, Sir Luke The hts are two officially knighted aura experts”
”I see…”
Angela's voice turned soft as she ain
”If you wish, I will ask ht, of course, with no obligations to our Viscounty”
”Perhaps, my lady, when there is a chance in the future”
Luke politely refused again, and Angela did not hide her disappoint on her face
