"It's okay, it's normal not to learn one. When I was learning to kick, it took me three whole days... Wait, what did you say? You learned... six or seven?" Lilian finally realized what she meant and her eyes widened.
How could that be!
Absolutely impossible!
Even the Legendary thief Garona couldn't possibly learn this fast, absolutely not! Could she be making this up just for the sake of space?
"I've learned Sinister Calling, but I'm not quite proficient with Dual Wield Specialization yet. I haven't learned Slice and Dice, I've learned Gouge, I've learned Sprint, I haven't learned Distract, I've learned Disruption, I haven't learned Seal Fate, I've learned Cheap Shot, I haven't learned Vanish..." Jiang Jie muttered to himself as he picked up the dagger and tried it out one by one.
These skills were being used in real life for the first time, requiring a new simulation of Internal Energy. Without the help of the game pod, the difficulty of the simulation increased more than tenfold. As a result, some skills were mastered on the first try, while others took several or even ten attempts to succeed.
Lilian was completely stunned!
Is it really possible for someone in this world to learn so many thief skills after watching just one video?
Oh my god!
Is this a genius?
Is this some kind of monster?
Jiang Jie yawned as he demonstrated, but finally, unable to stay awake any longer, he waved his hand and said, " Lilian, I have to go back to sleep. I can't talk to you anymore! Oh, by the way, I'm going back to Lordaeron first thing tomorrow morning. I'll definitely bring you a present next time I come! Lots of presents!"
When Lilian heard that Jiang Jie was leaving, her face showed disappointment. However, when she heard that Jiang Jie would bring her a gift, her face instantly lit up with anticipation. "Then, then, Nicholas, don't forget! You have to come soon!"
You should know that ever since she failed to perceive the Holy Light and instead received the favor of the Shadow, she has never received a single gift, not even a birthday present!
Jiang Jie yawned and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I definitely won't forget! Even if I don't come, you can still come find me, right? Alright, it's too late, go back to sleep. I remember you live at the monastery outpost in the north? It's a bit far, be careful on the road, go ahead!"
As Lillian watched Jiang Jie leave, Lilian was still Jiang Jie from the shock he had caused her.
Throughout the entire monastery, only Teacher Invar had ever shown her any concern. However, Teacher Invar was away on missions at least five days a week, leaving her mostly alone. Now, finally, a second person cared for her, and this person was even her own age.
How could she not be happy? She was secretly delighted.
even...
My heart is pounding?
It's impossible for her not to feel envious whenever she sees Renault and Sally together.
Renault?
That's excellent. His father is Highlord, and he's already a mid-level Paladin at a young age. It's said he'll soon be undergoing the High-Ranking Paladin trials; his future is bright...
But Nicholas is definitely no worse than him!
Even better!
Recalling Jiang Jie's praise, Lilian felt a surge of secret joy, as sweet as if she had eaten honey!
Oh right, I seem to have forgotten something?
Lilian thought it over and over, then suddenly cried out in surprise:
" Nicholas, how do you know so much? You still haven't answered my question!"
Half an hour later, Lilian returned to the monastery outpost, a tower over twenty meters high.
As soon as I entered, I saw a middle-aged Priest, around forty years old, chatting and laughing with the Paladin captain guarding the sentry post.
But the moment he saw Lilian, his face darkened instantly. "Hmph! You ran off again? Following Renault and Sally again? They completely ignore you! You're a disgrace! Don't you know their noble status, and look at your own lowly status! From now on, you are not allowed to go out without my orders! Do you hear me, you ugly hag!"
Lilian clenched her small hands tightly, her pearly teeth biting down.
According to her personality,
She should have been bowing her head, too afraid to speak, but now, for some reason, she raised her head, looked at her father, and blurted out, "No! Nicholas said I'm beautiful!" "Beautiful? You're beautiful? Beautiful you!" Benedictus sneered, as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world. "I truly regret giving birth to you! You're as ugly as your commoner mother! Even the Holy Light doesn't approve of you! You're destined to live in the shadows your whole life! You ugly monster corrupted by darkness! Get out of here!"
roll!
Go away!
Hearing her father's undisguised resentment and sarcasm, Lilian didn't expect to see pride or arrogance on his face. But what saddened her most was that she couldn't even see disappointment, only endless indifference!
"So, Father, in your eyes, I'm not your daughter at all, just a tool to deal with the enemy?" Lilian's lips trembled, and her whole body trembled.
She was utterly desperate!
Benedictus didn't even bother to glance at her, coldly saying, "Enemies? Heh, from now on, you won't need to deal with Orcs or Ogres. You're only fit to deal with those damned Undead! I really hope the day you get infected by the Undead Plague, so I can personally execute you!"
Execute!
My father actually wants me dead!
Do you really not want to see me, not want a daughter like me? Am I really your disgrace?
So...
As you wish!
But I won't die, because Nicholas said I'm actually quite beautiful. I have no reason to kill myself because of what you said, right? Anyway, you haven't acknowledged me as your daughter for a long time, so why should I listen to you?
But I will never appear before you again. This is the last thing I, as your daughter, will do for you.
From now on, you and I...
All ties severed!
A mocking smile played on Lilian's lips, though it was unclear whether it was a mockery of Benedictus or of herself.
Then, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one cared. Benedictus was busy chatting and laughing with the Paladin captain, and the other guards were used to it. Since Lilian was mostly in Stealth mode, everyone here was used to it and treated her as if she didn't exist.
Just a nobody thief!
But no one knew that at that very moment, Lilian was heading towards the Tirisfal Monastery.
Jiang Jie was really tired, so he went back to his room and fell asleep, sleeping soundly until dawn.
The next morning, he was awakened by Knight Harold, because the high mage Thalnos had already drawn a teleportation rune circle, which could be activated at any time to teleport up to three people to Lordaeron.
The lowly thief is unimportant; Dudley must be brought before His Majesty the King, for there must be sufficient evidence to indict a powerful baron. Furthermore, he can only be escorted by two men.
Jiang Jie was one of them, because he had made great contributions. In addition, his mission was to escort Master Nolan to the monastery. Now that the mission was completed, he also needed to go back to report.
The other person should have been the paladin Basil, because he was very strong, a squad leader of the Silver Hand, could represent Maxwell, and was involved in this matter.
"Let's go." Jiang Jie, holding a small lamb in his arms, walked into the teleportation array. Then Basil walked in, and Thalnos activated the teleportation array.
However, just as the teleportation began, a petite figure suddenly rushed into the magic circle, knocking Basil flying!
The teleportation was complete the next moment, and the three people disappeared.
