Chapter 342
Chapter 342
In the early years, the Bum Empire was a country protected by the God of War. The soldiers were as powerful as gods. The empire with strong military strength actively expanded outward and once became a terrifying existence that small countries were afraid of.
But now the gods have fallen, and it is difficult to see the traces of gods in this world. The empire protected by the God of War is like an arm cut off, and it can no longer be as brave as before.
Over the years, the empire has been very honest, guarding its own territory and never doing anything out of the ordinary. According to travelers who have visited the empire, the empire is now quite peaceful and the atmosphere is unexpectedly good.
And Serita is the daughter of the Duke of the Bum Empire. The Duke is very persistent in the glory of the empire in the past, even until now he still wants to rebuild the glory of the past.
He has been away from home for many years and has not paid enough attention to his family. He also adopts an alternative way of doting on his daughter, locking her up at home for overprotection, and strictly restricting her travel and what she sees and gets.
But in the eyes of some people who know the old duke, this old man is actually just preparing bargaining chips for himself, using his daughter as a tool for marriage.
When it is time to contribute to the empire, he will send his daughter, who is as blank as a piece of paper, away.
It is also because Kodorev did not pass on the news that Serita came to Brooks City to his old friend. After all, based on his understanding of the other party, this rumor may be true.
Always busy outside, the situation at home is never taken care of. Serita also seized such an opportunity. Through the understanding of the movements of her servants over the years, she secretly took away the invitation letter from Freya Academy that she had obtained long ago and escaped from home alone.
After knowing this, Kodorev thought about it again and again and decided to hand the person over to Elena to take care of. After all, he is very self-aware and knows that he is not very good at taking care of others.
The Elena team, who received Kodorev's education during this period, has the most say in this point. It is really tortured on the verge of being killed.
"I know this is not a simple matter, but Serita is a very pitiful child. I once went to the empire and visited the Duke's house a few years ago. This child could not even come out to meet me. She was locked in the room and never saw the sun."
Kodorev's tone was a little sad. Children of that age could only study in their own rooms. The only time they went out was for more education. It can be said that they had not had much entertainment since childhood.
Even so, Serita never complained about the heavy life, and even wanted to surpass her father. Even though the other party had never come back to see her, she still regarded the other party's back as an object of admiration.
Such a good-natured child is really likable. Putting aside her educational problems that cannot be changed, Serita is really a very good girl.
Maybe this has something to do with Serita's mother. Unfortunately, Kodorev did not see this kind mother when he went there. After all, he went there for business and had no time to visit.
"That being said, is it really okay to involve me like this? What if the Duke next door comes here and finds out that his daughter is fooling around with me? Wouldn't he want to skin me alive?"
Elena felt differently. She would be very angry if she found out that her daughter ran away from home and there was no news at all.
From the description, the other party didn't seem to be a very gentle person. On the contrary, he would be a very strict person who only cares about his career.
If this guy is unreasonable, the first person who will be unlucky is Serita herself, and the second one will probably be Elena.
If the father knows that he takes his daughter out every day, he will definitely want to eat him alive.
"Don't worry, I'm not such an unreasonable person. Besides, I'm here. If I really do something to you, I will speak well of you. The Duke will not give me face."
Speaking of this, Kodorev's face was full of pride. Even an elf who seemed to have no desires would show a proud expression when facing the connections and financial resources he had worked hard for most of his life.
After all, this is the symbol of his hard work, and all the privileges are the result of his hard work when he was young.
"That's best, then our dean, can you use your ability now to support me with the four hundred gold coins?"
Irena was quite indifferent to this, and stretched out his hand to ask for money directly. He really liked the feeling of taking money from the other party without any burden.
"Ahem... I can give you the money. After all, I am indeed partly responsible for this matter. But it's rare for you to come back. Don't you plan to have a pot of tea with me?"
Kodorev wasNa said so much that he coughed twice and then made an invitation. There were still many things he wanted to discuss with Elena, such as the details of the exchange meeting.
Elena seemed a little hesitant about this. After all, he knew that Serita's current situation was a bit bad, and he did not tell her that he could solve the money problem himself.
So now Serita has been living in fear of not being able to pay back the money, fearing that she would be abandoned by the people around her and finally be driven back home in disgrace.
Even if Elena and the others were with her now, I'm afraid she wouldn't feel much better. After all, she didn't have the mind to relax at all, and she would only feel noisy around.
"Okay, but I won't stay too long. I have to pay an extra fifty silver the next day. This is simply cutting my flesh."
Elena grinned and said, and followed Kodorev to the dean's office.
The elf on the side wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking that Elena was still as stingy as ever. He was always so sensitive about money. Whether he or others paid more, he would feel uncomfortable.
On the other side, Serita was surrounded by Elina's team. Facing this young lady whom they met for the first time, everyone showed great kindness.
Especially Shirley, who was very familiar with her new friend and pulled her hand, urged everyone to go to the nearest monster restaurant for lunch.
She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. If she wasn't afraid of the pain, she would have wanted to have a bite.
On the way, Shirley was very active in introducing the goodness of monster cuisine to Serita, and her saliva was about to flow down.
Serita was also very interested in listening. What she ate at home was very standard imperial cuisine. She had never heard of using monster meat to cook food.
She also looked forward to this kind of thing. After all, adventurers have to keep company with monsters. Whether as opponents or hunting targets, they have to actively contact monsters.
She even thinks that adventurers should eat monsters, even if she may not have the courage to do so now.
