Chapter 136: Chapter 136

"If you can't teach effectively in a week, the simplest solution is to extend the teaching time."

"A week turns into two weeks, two weeks into a month... In a month's time, you can finally teach some results."

"This creates a rather awkward market phenomenon."

"If you want to hire someone to teach for a week, the starting price is at least a month's pay."

"Otherwise, others are very likely to refuse the job directly."

"Not long ago, Her Highness Beatrice asked me about this."

In fact, if it were someone else making promises for her, she might have been angry long ago.

Not everyone is like those advanced instructors at Saint Louis Academy, skilled at teaching students.

She would only spend more time.

Little Swan listened in a daze.

Finally, she could only open her mouth and say:

"Isn't there anyone who just teaches for a week and then leaves it be?"

"Of course there is, but Your Highness, outside the Imperial Capital, those remote towns might only have one exemplary-level person."

"Who can leave with a clean slate from their local area?"

"Who can afford to lose face like that?"

"It's not that there isn't anyone, but they are definitely in the minority."

Lumi didn't say one more thing: "If there's only one exemplary-level person locally, it must be a soldier of the White Crow Legion."

And since the person making the promise is Little Swan, and the one wanting to learn is His Highness Louis, otherwise she'd have the headache of figuring out how to reject it reasonably.

Little Swan tightened her face, almost about to cry:

"Sister Lumi, I remember you said before, that to teach Louis, you even prepared tools for him?"

Lumi nodded: "Not much, just about 5 gold coins."

Turns out it wasn't a small loss, but a huge loss?

"Sister Lumi, sorry, I'll make up the difference for you, can't let you take a loss."

Little Pearl was about to fall down.

Originally thought to see the Country Enchanter holding her tail in heartbreak.

But why? Why did it turn out this way!

Who on earth has inflated prices to this extent!

Lumi's lips curved into a gentle, motherly smile, gently helping the girl tidy her hair:

"It's enough that you have this kind intention, besides, if it's to teach His Highness Louis, I'm still willing."

"Moreover, this matter has already been known to Her Highness Beatrice, and any additional expenses, Her Highness has helped to reimburse."

"What's more, His Highness Louis' talent is truly a rare sight, teaching him might even bring pleasant surprises."

Olivia curiously said:

"Sister Lumi, have you ever seen anyone more outrageous than that Louis guy?"

Olivia's back was to Lumi, so she couldn't see her expression at that moment.

Lumi said somewhat complicatedly:

"As of now, among the people I've met, there are 2 monsters above His Highness Louis."

"There's 1 on par with His Highness Louis."

"And there's 1 who has potential not inferior to His Highness Louis but hasn't been developed for various reasons."

Little Swan clapped her hands and said:

"Stronger than Louis, Father can count as one, right!"

"Yes, the majesty's prowess is rarely seen in the world."

"Then who are the remaining ones?"

"Those people, if fate allows, you'll meet, but the one whose potential wasn't developed, I can tell you now."

Little Swan's curiosity was piqued:

"Whoever is currently in charge of Ense's power, that's who."

Little Swan laughed happily:

"Right, how could I forget about Sister Wang."

Indeed, everyone in the Ense Empire knew Beatrice had been the regent for many years.

Yet few knew that as early as 17, freshly advanced to exemplary level, Beatrice had once led a squad under the White Crow Legion with great spirit and ambushed the Barbarian Tribe that invaded the empire's border.

They even brought back the head of the tribe leader.

This matter is still passed down at the White Crow Legion to this day.

Hearing someone praise Sister Wang, Little Swan couldn't help but show a proud expression.

But in the next moment, Olivia noticed the flaw and whispered:

"Sister Lumi, even you said 3 gold coins was the price from some years ago, so how many years ago was the 15 gold coins price?"

Lumi's originally gentle expression instantly froze.

A moment later, Lumi confidently said:

"It must have been last year!"

Little Swan let out a nasal sound, snorting:

"Sister Lumi, you're over a hundred years old... ah, ouch ouch ouch!"

Lumi's slender fingers clutched the shivering Little Swan's head, emphasizing:

"Eigh...teen... years... old!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Lumi is 18 years old."

Little Swan wanted to cry but had no tears.

Sister Lumi becomes terrifying when asked about her age.

No one knows how long it will take for Little Swan to understand that sometimes the truth is the most hurtful.

That afternoon, Lumi took the rare occasion to tidy up her dimensional bag.

After some rummaging, she found a sketch inside her dimensional bag.

The sketch depicted two girls who seemed quite young, lying under a treeshade for a nap.

One of them had long, wavy golden hair, and was holding a stick taller than she was.

——Judging by its shape, it seemed to be a magic staff, except it was drawn so poorly that it was deformed.

A huge bow and quiver lay next to the other one.

The two snuggled together, making the whole picture look more delightful.

Lumi stared blankly at the sketch for a long, long time.

Suddenly, she sighed:

"It's nothing like Olivia said, it hasn't been that long... only about 70 years."

"But aren't the prices rising too fast recently?"

"Hiring a model-level costs so much more than I remember!"

"Have they gone money-crazy?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Now hiring a model-level is at this price, 20 gold coins, if you can hire one for model-level, I'll concede!"

Jino's eyes widened like copper bells as he snorted towards Louis:

"15 gold coins for model-level? That's prices from ten years ago."

"And that's for ordinary model-level."

"Models also have a gap! Hiring ordinary model-level and hiring me, do you know the difference?"

Louis helplessly said:

"Yes, yes, Instructor, you're right."

He didn't think Instructor Jino would lie about this matter.

This kind of thing could be clarified with an investigation.

He also didn't think Beatrice would lie to him.

Pricing is often determined by supply and demand.

Beatrice's understanding of this profession's prices might be outdated.

"So, Instructor, you're here today to tell me you're planning to teach me this inheritance for free?"

Louis subconsciously emphasized the word "free".

Jino said with a straight face:

"I'm here to bring you money."

"Learning this inheritance will take you at least a month... a week." Content orıginally comes from novel_fіre.net

"The inheritance is valuable, and my teaching fee is even more so."

"I haven't charged any of these, what else would you call bringing you money?"

"But I heard when Olivia hired you to teach me, it wasn't as costly as I thought!"

Jino's face showed a bitter expression, and he slapped Louis's back:

"You sure know what pot not to open, think about what my position is."

"Captain of the Royal Guard, oh, I understand now."

What is a Royal Guard?

Only those with the duty to protect the royal family are called Royal Guards.

This is evident as the Royal Guard's training camp is at the foot of a mountain near the Imperial Palace.

This is not a job where you can fish in troubled waters.

"Got it now? Know why I always teach you in the Imperial Palace."

Jino said bitterly: "It's the duty, can't leave lightly."

"Even if Olivia only gave me 1 gold coin, I would still take it!"

"You'll understand when you have a second child."

Louis was horrified that Instructor Jino, a model-level, was being hoodwinked .

Damn (a type of plant), a daily prevention tip against marriage fright.

Didn't expect people of other worlds couldn't escape from this either.

The next moment, Louis laughed:

"Good thing I don't have to worry about money."

After all, in his current status, he's not a laborer.

Jino jokingly cursed:

"You brat, believe it or not, if you irritate me, I'll stop teaching you!"

"No, no, Instructor, look at my face, does it look like your long-lost student?"

"You look like a dummy to me."

"So, Instructor, can you tell me what you're planning to teach me?"

Jino said discontentedly:

"Still calling me Instructor?"

Louis shouted happily:

"Present." Jino beamed ear to ear, "Next I'm going to teach you a profession that almost became one of the Nine Sword advanced professions but was eventually taken out as a separate professional system."
