My Players Are So Fierce

From the girl’s intelligent eyes, it was clear that she was judging certain situations in Bernel City by observing these commercial activities.

Her appearance was somewhat different from that of the people of the Continent.

Especially her skin, a healthy wheat color that was darker than the white-skinned Ceylan and Nord people, even darker than the yellow skin of the Kalem Ancient Country, but honestly not unattractive.

This young woman was not very old, but her figure was already quite striking.

Her beauty wasn’t the delicate charm of a lady, more akin to the healthy beauty of someone who exercises regularly, an inappropriate description would be like a graceful female warrior, full of youthful vitality.

She wore an ordinary maid outfit, but on her coiled hair was a peculiar ornament, its style not quite like that of the Old Continent.

In the slightly old but spotlessly clean living room behind her, the fireplace burned warmly, and a tall woman dressed in an astrologer’s cloak, wearing a witch’s hat and looking like a “rogue magician,” was sitting on the sofa, coughing as she picked up the girl’s schoolwork.

After skimming through it and confirming progress, she no longer looked at the details.

She seemed to lack energy, coughing several times as a form of command, prompting the girl by the window to purse her lips and return to the kitchen.

A few minutes later, a cup of hot tea with added apple slices was brought to the temporary owner and mentor’s side.

“Your posture…”

The woman, with a sickly appearance and indistinct age, sighed, flicking a tiny potion bottle from her fingertips like magic, and dropped a few drops of oddly colored potion into the tea before taking it all in one gulp.

This is hot tea!

Drinking it should definitely burn one’s mouth, yet the not-so-healthy woman didn’t care at all.

She leaned on the sofa, waiting for the potion to take effect, and sighed with her eyes closed:

“There’s probably no servant on this continent who treats their master as rudely as you do.

The disguise we chose is really terrible.

Forget it, during the journey to the Nordtov Domain, you pretend to be my apprentice.

Remember to wear a mask and long clothes; your skin color stands out, and you’re unwilling to comply with the illusion potion.”

“Hey, Lena, it’s not that I’m unwilling to comply with your potion; your potion simply doesn’t work on me.

We’ve tried it, haven’t we?”

The girl, hands on her hips, said very dissatisfied:

“Kulkan’s Divine Power is still protecting me, making it hard for these mundane things to change my true form.

It’s not my fault!

Clearly, you promised after I saved you that you could handle everything, yet as the greatest Psychic on the Old Continent, you can’t even cover up a mere divine power wave?”

“What?

What did you say?

I didn’t quite catch that, mere what?”

The woman, leaning on the sofa in a laid-back style, exclaimed:

“Unbelievable, truly, the longer you live, the more crazy things you see!

A young god-chosen person telling me ‘mere divine power,’ so in your eyes, are all the Psychics of the Old Continent monsters?

You think you can just find a Psychic on the street who can easily handle Divine Power?

We’re talking about Divine Spirits, my dear Qiuchote.

Though even now I don’t quite understand what rank of existence the god you previously served was, just from the lingering divine power on you, I can judge that it wasn’t weaker than the current few Divine Spirits of the Old Continent.

You really know how to give me a hard time.

If you’re really desperate to solve this problem, I suggest you visit Transylvania and find Duchess Triss of the Blood Vulture Clan.

The Crimson Witch, who died over a hundred years ago and suddenly ‘revived,’ is the most knowledgeable vampire about Divine Power on this continent, and she definitely has a way.

The premise is whether you can afford the price.”

“Hmph.”

After being mocked by Lena, the girl stopped speaking.

The atmosphere between them turned tense, and after a moment, the girl named “Qiuchote” couldn’t help but speak:

“Are you sure this will work?

Is there truly a power in the land called Calum that can help me?

I mean, besides seeking help from the terrifying vampire, is there anyone in this world who can help me and my suffering nation?”

“I told you when we set out.”

Lena, feeling the effect of the potion, was growing drowsy.

Rubbing her pale forehead, she said:

“Either head south to the Origin Land or go east to the Kalem Ancient Country; these are the only two places within the scope of the Old Continent that can help both of us simultaneously.

I gave you the choice, and you decided to head east.

To this day, you still won’t tell me why you refuse to go to the closer Origin Land; you seem to have issues with the Sanghai people.”

“I told you, it’s the domain of the sun and moon!”

Qiuchote, a bit angry, said:

“But the sunlit land is also the domain of Kulkan.

My god warned me that going there would expose my whereabouts, and it’s dangerous!

You, with your terrible temperament, cannot comprehend the mission I bear.”

“Sigh, it’s just that whole help and save thing, I’ve seen too much of it…

Anyway, that’s enough for now.

Let me sleep for a while, then go procure some things, and we’ll continue to the Great Wilderness, and then over White Mountain into the Dragon Emperor’s country.
