Although he got the money smoothly, Aarons was not particularly happy.
Five hundred gold coins were not a huge sum of money for a noble of the Marquis' level. At that time, the Marquis had to pay 1,500 gold coins every year to cover the financial expenditures of the cities in the territory and the supplies of the border corps.
But at that time, the Marquis' family still had its own industries. Now these industries have long lost contact, and may even have really turned to the Chamber of Commerce in Cardia.
"Master, do you think that kind of small person is not worth your attention?"
"How do you see that?"
"When I was just promoted to level five, I had the same feeling as you."
On the way home, Karin, as a bodyguard, finally had the opportunity to talk to Aarons.
Aarons had no chance to chat with her these days, so she seemed a little lonely.
"If you always keep your head down, you won't be able to see where the road leads to. Now that you have raised your head, you won't care about the pebbles on the roadside."
This seems to be an improvement in level and vision - although Aarons doesn't think he is suitable for the powerful class, he is now looking at a higher goal than himself.
Those contestants supported by a prince or a duke are the opponents he must defeat.
And the Kingdom of Cardia, which is trying to disrupt this land, is a more powerful and dangerous enemy.
"Is that so? I didn't realize it."
As a strong person, Karin has much more life experience than himself, and her views can really help him.
However, even if his mentality has changed, Aarons still knows that he is still the kind of weak person who can be easily destroyed by simple violence.
"I still have to make myself stronger."
...
But when Aarons and Karin returned to the door of the Marquis's Mansion, he immediately saw a maid who was quietly waiting for him.
"Mr. Marquis, according to the agreement between you and His Highness, I will provide you with assistance in magic technology."
"Earl Jiangyue, hello."
When Aarons found that the princess's private tutor and exclusive maid really appeared at the door of his house, he was shocked.
Although this woman only had the title of honorary earl, her actual status was actually higher than that of the nobles of the fiefdom.
So Aarons dared not neglect her and was quite respectful.
"You are too polite. I am just a maid sent by Her Highness to assist you. If you plan to maintain this humble attitude all the time, it will be difficult to carry out the work later."
This mature woman with neat short hair and a charming face with affectionate eyes and a faint smile did not seem to care much about her status.
And the standard black and white long apron-style maid outfit she wore seemed to be her recognition of her identity.
"Oh, this is... the support you mentioned before, Master?"
Although Karin beside Aarons was not interested in identity and other things, her expression was a little strange... as if she was alert to something, and her two erect ears were shaking constantly.
"I didn't expect that the Marquis would have such a charming attendant."
It was not known whether this was flattery or sarcasm, and Aarons always felt that the atmosphere was getting too right.
"Then Ms. Jiangyue... let's go into the house and talk in detail."
In order not to attract other people's attention, Aarons did not dwell on it too much, but took the maid and the wolf girl into the Marquis's mansion.
However, as soon as they entered the mansion, they happened to run into Xia Ye who had just finished teaching the children.
"Master, you're back. I just happened to have something to ask... Who is this?"
"Oh, she is..."
Just when Aarons wanted to explain a little, he found that Xia Ye suddenly burst out with a strong momentum-
"... Maid? No, this stable and capable aura, as well as the peaceful attitude that can only be acquired after years and months, plus the temperament that only wise people can have..."
Before Aarons could react to what happened, Xia Ye suddenly took off her glasses for some reason.
While revealing her devilish eyes, she also swung a knife at the maid next to Aarons without any warning.
Clang--
The harsh sound of metal clashing startled Aarons, but before he could come to his senses, Karin had already blocked him.
"Oh, what a rude hospitality."
Although she looks like an alien, Xia Ye's body is actually made of the flesh and blood of a demon close to level seven.
Even if she cannot release fighting spirit, her body has a strength far beyond the general concept.——However, the knife she swung out, which was enough to cut flesh and break bones of ordinary people, was caught by the maid with bare hands.
"...It's a civil servant character of the same type as me!"
What? Why are you focusing on this place?
"Oh? This lady also has a level 6 physical strength? The opposite... you are not actually an alien, right?"
"Master, I suggest to exclude this woman immediately... She will seriously shake my position in your family!"
"You are only thinking about yourself! Please stop for a moment!"
...
After finally calming down Xia Ye, who was already seeing sparks, Aarons finally took the three women to the study and began to explain the cause and effect.
"So that's how it is. You actually have two level 6 attendants around you. No wonder you dare to say that in front of everyone."
"Don't be fooled by this woman, young master. She has at least crossed the threshold of level 6."
"Teacher Xia Ye, don't be so excited... Didn't I say that she was sent by Her Royal Highness the Princess to provide support?"
Aarons didn't understand why Xia Ye had such a violent reaction, but the maid seemed to be enjoying it.
"Is this Miss Xia Ye your civil servant secretary? But I haven't heard of any aliens from the sheep tribe. Are you sure you know her true identity?"
"Of course I know. Please don't provoke our relationship."
After discovering that Aarons's face began to become gloomy, the maid immediately put away the smile on her face and put on a serious expression of official business.
And Xia Ye quickly calmed down her emotions, took the initiative to stand beside Aarons, and began to perform her duties as secretary and adjutant.
"In that case, please allow me to reintroduce myself - my name is Zijiangyue, a fool who failed to advance to level six three hundred years ago, and eventually lost everything, only gaining an immortal body."
Although Aarons had never heard of this name, he could hear the deep sadness and loneliness from the maid's plain tone.
"So, now I am just an empty shell with knowledge but unable to release magic."
"Wait a minute, I just suddenly thought of a question, and I need you to help me answer it."
An inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in Aarons' mind, and he immediately said this idea.
"Level six, level six, level six. This kind of mysterious existence can only be heard in legends. Ordinary people can see it once in their lifetime. It can be said that their ancestors have accumulated virtue. Why are there three in this room now?"
Aarons finally realized that something was wrong with him. At this time, he realized the abnormality that he had been subconsciously ignoring -
"Is my home a dangerous goods distribution center!"
