Chapter 213 I don\'t need your help!
\'Or... is it because the culture in my perception is different from the culture in this world?\'
Lathel didn\'t know, nor did he want to know.
"UM!" Lathel cried out in surprise because Lilith hugged him, and his head was once again immersed in the softness of \'milk\'.
"Of course it\'s very exciting!" Lilith pouted and said, She hugged Lathel tightly as if she were afraid that he would be snatched away. Her eyes, which were filled with caution, were fixed on Farmyrth, and she asked: "Why are you back?"
"Heh?! Why can\'t I come back?" Farmyrth tilted her head and said: "I forgot one piece of information that I needed to tell him, which is that the third round will be held in two days."
"No! He will not participate in that round." Lilith shouted.
"Do not worry." Farmyrth smiled and said: "He doesn\'t need to participate because he is granted first-class privileges. Anyway, what he did was great; there\'s no need to continue participating in the third round."
"However, the third round will have quite a few nobles coming, so I want him to be there."
"Why does he have to come?" Lilith asked angrily.
"If you want him to be in danger all the time, then it\'s fine if he doesn\'t come to the third round."
"What do you mean?!" Lilith said, her voice filled with cold and murderous intent: "Are you threatening me?"
Farmyrth also frowned seeing this, as this was the first time she saw Lilith this angry over something so insignificant.
\'Interesting, it seems... this guy\'s identity is a bit special.\'
\'Hehehe… I really want to find out who he is… No, I want… to cut him into pieces and look at every piece of flesh carefully.\'
Farmyrth licked her lips greedily. Lilith saw this and squeezed Lathel even tighter.
Lathel, who was being squeezed, tried to struggle, but he felt like he was about to suffocate.
"Oy! He… he\'s about to suffocate."
"Heh?! Ah!" Hearing that, Lilith quickly let go of Lathel.
Escaping from Lilith\'s arms, he quickly breathed, and his pale face slowly turned rosy.
"Ha… ha… ha… You... stop hugging me… I… I almost suffocated." Lathel gasped as she spoke.
Hearing that, Lilith pursed her lips, her face showing shame and guilt: "Sorry. I… I used too much force."
Farmyrth glanced at Lathel, then looked at Lilith. She found this scene to be both interesting and confusing.
She shook her head and said, "What Lathel showed… the nobles who had the right to watch the second round of the competition all saw it."
Lathel had just stabilised his breathing when he froze due to what Farmyrth said: "What?! But… the second round is held in the forest, how could people see it?"
Farmyrth didn\'t answer, she raised her hand, and a curtain of water appeared. On the water curtain was the image of Lathel confronting the Fire Drake.
Lathel saw this scene and opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief.
"This… this is…"
"It\'s tracking magic." Farmyrth shrugged and said: "In fact, many high-ranking nobles, the royal family, and the church all saw it. They all want to find candidates with high potential to nurture."
"Of course, to nurture and take away candidates with great potential, they also need to pay a lot to the academy as a form of exchange."
Hearing that, Lathel immediately realised that these competitions were similar to the way universities operate.
Universities organise competitions for good students, and companies or other organisations that make positive contributions can participate in the observations to find human resources for their companies.
It was a completely normal thing. Schools are funded, and those companies also get the human resources they want.
"Wait! That means…" Lathel suddenly realised something was wrong and immediately spoke up.
"That\'s right. Everyone can see what you did in this round." Farmyrth nodded and said: "However, I have put you on the list of special students, so no noble or person will be able to take you away from me."
She said this as she reached out her index finger and lifted his chin.
"Stay away from him!" Lilith pushed Farmyrth away.
Farmyrth was not angry at all, she just smiled and continued: "Your performance is too dazzling, combined with the fact that no one can own you, do you know what will happen?"
Lathel frowned and said: "If they can\'t possess me, then they will destroy me."
"That\'s right." Farmyrth nodded: "It seems... You are also very smart."
"There are hidden struggles and wars between nobles and in the empire."
"That\'s why attracting geniuses to their side requires a lot of fighting."
"If there is a genius that they cannot own, then they do not want to let anyone else own it."
"The best way to do that is to kill that genius."
Hearing that, Lathel was not too surprised, as this is something that often happens in the labour market of large companies.
A person with much potential will be highly sought after. However, if that person has potential beyond the normal level, other companies will not let that person have a normal life.
Of course, murder is impossible. But there are many ways to ruin a person\'s life.
In this world, people choose the fastest and simplest way, which is to kill.
Lathel then sighed and said: "But... I was adopted by a duchess; isn\'t that enough?"
"Hahaha… you are thinking too simply." Farmyrth smiled disdainfully: "In this Empire, the Duchess\'s status is indeed very high, and people have to respect and fear her."
"However, her greatest sphere of influence is only within this empire. If you step out of the Empire, I\'m afraid there will be countless wolves staring at you."
Lathel nodded and said: "It seems... you want to use Lilith to threaten everyone who has bad intentions towards me, right?"
"That\'s right." Farmyrth nodded and smiled: "She is the Fifth Elder of the Enchanter Tower, and the Enchanter Tower has many branches across the continent."
"Lilith\'s position must be respected not only by the Empire but by the entire continent."
"You are her student. As long as she appears with you, everyone will retract their fangs and not dare to harm you."
"Anyway…"
Farmyrth said as she glanced at Lilith: "The anger of an Elder of the Enchanter Tower is extremely terrible; no one would be foolish enough to anger Lilith."
Lathel frowned. He looked towards Lilith and opened his mouth to say something, but Lilith spoke.
"Good! I will go with him to watch the third round. I want to make those idiots bow before my students."
Listening to her, Lathel felt a little more reassured, and he was deeply grateful to Lilith.
"Lathel…" Lilith suddenly stretched out her hands and hugged his face: "Don\'t worry, I…. I will protect you. I will definitely protect you."
"Oy! Lilith, don\'t talk while panting like that, okay? You look like a pervert." Lathel screamed in fear.
"Heh?! No, I… I was just a little excited."
"Hahaha… Well, then I hope you will appear in the third round. Besides… Lathel, from now on, you will become my student."
"Heh?!!" Lathel was startled and said: "But... I... I am Lilith\'s student."
"There is no law that prohibits you from having two teachers." Farmyrth winked at him as she spoke.
Lathel wanted to cry, having Lilith as his teacher already made him extremely tired, and now he was adding the academy\'s principal.
He felt that his future was extremely dark and that his harem of all races was gradually leaving his reach.
"But… I…" Lathel wanted to find a reason to refute it, but he couldn\'t find any other reason.
"Hahaha… don\'t worry. If I become your teacher, combined with Lilith, surely people will not dare to harm you." Farmyrth smiled and said: "Even if they are nobles or royalty, when they see you, they will have to bow to you."
"Wait!" Lilith shouted: "I don\'t agree!"
"You have no right to decide for him."
"Lathel…" When Lilith heard Farmyrth, she angrily looked at Lathel, and her eyes seemed to beg him.
He sighed and said: "Principal, you also know that Lilith\'s personality is a bit strange..."
"I\'m not strange, I\'m very normal." Lilith shouted.
"Ah! Good, Lilith\'s personality is very normal." Lathel sighed and said: "If you become my teacher, I\'m afraid... my life will definitely be in trouble in the future."
"And all that trouble will come from…" He said, while glancing towards Lilith.
Lilith pursed her lips and said: "Oy! You\'re looking down on me, right? Are you saying I\'m in trouble? Huhuhu… I gave you my first kiss, but you still called me trouble."
"Pff… Hahahaha… hahahaha…" Farmyrth suddenly burst out laughing. She held her stomach and laughed so loudly that her laughter echoed throughout this room: "Hahaha… how interesting. Lathel, you understand Lilith better than she knows herself. Hahahaha…"
"It\'s okay, Lilith, I\'m not fighting over your student, I\'m just helping him have full safety."
"I don\'t need your help! He doesn\'t need your help either! Lilith shouted angrily, she was like a little girl protecting her doll: "As long as I am here, I can definitely protect him."
"Ah! So… Do you think you can protect him from the Ninth Hero?"
Lilith was a bit surprised: "Ninth hero? What do you mean…"
Farmyrth nodded: "That\'s right… Ninth Hero, aka the Demon Lord, also seems to be interested in your student."
"Huh! I\'m not afraid of her." Lilith pouted and said contemptuously, "If she dares to appear, I will cut off her horns and break her wings."
"If she harms my student, I will definitely make her regret existing in this world."
Lathel frowned when he heard \'Ninth Hero\'. He silently asked Cauldron: "Oy! You…"
"Don\'t talk to me."
"Heh?!"
"Be quiet, I suspect that girl named Farmyrth has discovered me."
"What?!" Lathel was startled, and he also remembered that the entire process of him fighting the Fire Drake was seen.
That also means that everyone also knows about Cauldron\'s existence.
