Noble Emblem

A young Brave walked out of his village, gathered companions to his side, defeated the Great Demon King, became famous, then came back with beauties in hand! This was a legend that appears in the world of Seyrol every 200 years! Our protagonist, however, isn’t a Brave. Even so, for over a thousand years his figure has loomed throughout its history. Unwittingly, the name of the Red Priest began to resound throughout the world. Red Priest’s legend included extraordinary sword techniques and magic, erudite knowledge, and an almost prophetic ability to lead young Braves toward the proper path. People of the world think of him as a descendent of the ancient Golden Race which led to his omnipotence. In essence, however, this was just the characteristics of the profession known as ‘Noble’. A word from the fabulousest translator/editor on Earth which is me I took upon this translation/editing project for the same reason I started translating my first Chinese novel. There are just too many big ass gems buried in a deep cesspool. I've long guessed that Qidian stopped introducing good Chinese novels on this platform in order to give some breathing room for English (and other) originals, but I don't agree with such approach. From a reader's standpoint, it is such a shame that we don't even know how many brilliant works we are missing because of the language barrier. To be honest, I'm mainly copypasting from the site called Novelhi. It is a really good resource and their machine translation is the best I've seen so far, and they also translate up to the latest available chapter. Still, they have several issues. For some reason they always miss the last paragraph which make you can missout on a potentially very important information related to a story, and they also have parts where just a couple of words gets repeated for a whole paragraph and it actually replaces the original text. They also translate an ad together with a chapter which is immersion breaking. I'll be correcting the inherent sins of such MTL with manual editing and translation and I will also polish some rough edges so that the readers will have as much seemless reading experience as possible. You will definitely have a better time reading this than me for sure

Intimidation

The more beautiful a woman was, the more afraid she was of being disfigured. This was especially true for the beautiful elves. Being bitten by a mosquito was an unacceptable sin for them, let alone being beaten into a pig's head!

Even Kail could easily deal with her, let alone his teacher! The half-elf girl was afraid. She suppressed her anger and pretended to be obedient. "I'm Alice Zell. Father asked me to come find you. He said that if I come find you, you can make me stronger. "

Alice didn't believe her father's words at all. In her opinion, even her powerful and knowledgeable father, who had lived for hundreds of years, couldn't solve the problem of her strength. How could a small priest in Reed Village do it?

She wanted to come, but her father was very serious when he spoke, so she had no choice but to come.

She had never been scolded by her father, but because of this matter, she was taught a lesson and forced to come. She was unhappy when she thought about it.

"Your father, Grinton, is the strongest spear master and lance rider!" Liang Lidong looked at the half-elf girl with a strange expression. "But you're a militia, and you're not strong at all! As a half-elf, you should be more than 150 years old right now. Time is the most powerful cheating method. Even if you only practice with a sword every day, after more than 100 years, you should be a Master Level Militia, right? How is it that you only have this little strength? "

Liang Lidong's words carried a hint of surprise and disdain. He was doing this on purpose. It was obvious that Alice was the kind of girl who was used to being pampered. Her father was a lord and the strongest lance Knight. He was also very handsome. Growing up with such a father, Alice definitely hadn't suffered much. Grinton didn't want her to suffer under his watch, so this was the biggest reason why Alice's strength was so slow.

This was also the biggest reason why Grinton sent his daughter to him. He didn't want her to suffer, but his reason told him that in this world, there was no strength. Therefore, he sent his daughter to Liang Lidong so that he could teach and train her.

Hearing Liang Lidong's sarcastic words, Alice jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end. She scolded, "I'm not strong, but I'm definitely not weaker than you when I'm serious."

"You can give it a try." Liang Lidong gave him a sidelong glance. "Don't worry, I won't slap your face. That's your only strength. I'm afraid I'll break it. You can't even get married. "

The slightly malicious words provoked the half-elf girl to fly into a rage. She held the spear on her back in a reverse grip and leaped up high, directly stabbing towards Liang Lidong's neck. Her speed … wasn't fast at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the half-elf girl's attack might be as fast as lightning, but in the eyes of Liang Lidong, it was no different from a snail. He tilted his body. He let the tip of the spear pierce his neck, and then stretched out his hand. He directly grabbed the spear and gently swung it. The half-elf girl in the air was directly thrown to the side, her body hitting the wall. When she fell to the ground, she had already fainted.

Liang Lidong flipped the spear with one hand and threw it at the half-elf girl. The spear pierced into the bluestone floor, the spear's blade less than a centimeter away from the elf girl's lovely jade nose.

He sat back on the edge of his bed and then let out a long sigh.

He really didn't expect Grinton's daughter to be a "militia." This was a profession that only NPCs could take up. There were no special requirements at all. As long as one was a living humanoid creature, they could become a "militia" as long as they reported their name to the militia camp under the lord of the time.

The "militia" profession had the worst specialties of all the professions. Even if it was trained to the Master level, it only had two specialties … Courage and Weapon Proficiency.

Of course, if you were a genius, it would be a different matter if you comprehended or learned other specialties on your own.

Moreover, the militia could only be trained to the Master level at most. In the game, Liang Lidong had never heard of a legendary character in the "militia" profession.

Although the militia profession was very weak, it had a very good specialty, and that was when a militia at the Master level changed to another profession, they would be guaranteed two specialties that they had learned abroad. Although they would have to reset their level and start over, having two extra skills at the beginning was very good.

Of course, most people wouldn't do such a thing, because it took a very long time to train the militia profession to the Master level, which was Level 10. Players were a bit better, usually taking two or three years, but NPCs generally took more than a decade. This was because players had the help of the quest system, and could quickly accumulate a large amount of experience, while NPCs didn't have this benefit.

Therefore, generally, those who could train the militia profession to the Master level were usually long-lived species. For example, in many legends, certain elves would train in the Elven Guards for more than a decade or even several decades when they were young. Then, they would learn from a sage or some master, becoming a Master of a certain profession. In the end, they would successfully become so-and-so, and together with so-and-so, they would save the world, and so on.

Two races, the elves and dwarves, could spend more than a decade to train the militia profession to the Master level. Then, with the two relatively practical specialties, they would switch to another profession. Although they would have to start all over again, with the two additional skills, they would have a much greater advantage than other professions of the same level.

In particular, the skill Courage was said to be a very powerful specialization. Apart from militia, only heroes could learn it. However, Liang Lidong had never encountered it before, so he didn't know much about it.

If Alice worked a little harder, she would be a Master Militia now. If Liang Lidong wanted to subdue her, he would definitely have to spend a lot of effort. Although the militia profession wasn't very powerful, there was a Level 10 militia at the Master level, while Liang Lidong was only Level 5. His opponent's level was much higher. Moreover, when a militia switched to another profession, their starting point would be higher, and they would be much more powerful.

However, Liang Lidong now roughly understood why Glinton didn't strictly require Alice to train her strength. Because Alice had no other strong points except for her beauty. From the fight just now, Liang Lidong knew that Alice's Charisma was definitely around 11. The elves were born with high Charisma. The upper limit of Charisma growth for humans was 10, and for the elves, it was 12.

However, Alice's other attribute growth didn't exceed 5. In other words, Alice only inherited the appearance of the elves, and the other attribute growth was no different from that of an ordinary human.

It had to be said. This was a sad story.

There were many professions with high Charisma growth, but they all needed secondary attribute support. For example, the Warlock was a high Charisma profession, but at least their Intelligence growth had to be at or above 6. The same was true for the Bard. The only profession that only required high Charisma was the Paladin, but this profession was restricted to humans. Other races couldn't.

No wonder Alice could only be a "militia."

No wonder Grinton asked Liang Lidong to leave a Round Table Knight spot for his daughter. It was because after being appointed as a Round Table Knight, there would be an attribute growth correction, and it would be a full attribute growth correction. In that case, Alice would be able to meet the minimum requirements for a certain profession.

After thinking this through, Liang Lidong smiled. Reality was reality, and it was very different from the game. In the game, Grinton was a good guy. Unable to hide his thoughts, the Glinton here had some devious thoughts.

Not long after, Alice woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the cold flash of a gun. She was so scared that she rolled back, but there was a wall behind her. When she rolled over, she hit her head on the wall. It was so painful that tears almost flowed out.

"Now that you're awake, sit down." Liang Lidong clapped his hands.

Alice stood up and looked at Liang Lidong angrily. "How dare you hit me so hard. You knocked me out. Aren't you afraid that my father will punish you? "

"I wouldn't have done that if I was afraid." Liang Lidong said coldly, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't introduce you. I'll knock you out again."

"You!"

Alice was suddenly speechless. She obediently walked to the chair next to her and sat down. She was really afraid of this human in front of her now. He didn't care about her father's power and reputation at all. He could do what he said. If he could knock her out once, he could knock her out a second time … But this man was so strong. As expected of Kail's teacher. Of course, he couldn't compare to her father. However, he didn't have one-tenth of Kail's gentleness, even when he was fighting her. Kail didn't use his full strength, and most of the time, he was letting her win.

Thinking of Kail, the half-elf girl was a little happy.

"Since Grinton asked you to come to me and ask me to help you, you have to listen to me. I've already figured out why you're so weak." Liang Lidong said slowly, "Now you have two choices. The first is to train your 'militia' profession to Master, and then I'll use a secret method to increase your growth potential. That way, you can switch to other professions. Although it will take a long time, it will be of great help to your future growth."

"It takes too long to train a militia to Master." Alice twisted her pretty eyebrows. Kail was an ordinary human. It would take too long to train a militia to Master. She could wait, but Kail couldn't. She still wanted to fight side by side with Kail and wander around as a mercenary.

After fighting with Kail just now, she asked Kail about his dream. Now, Kail's dream was her dream.

Liang Lidong sighed, "Then we can only use the second method. I'll now confer you the title of Knight of the Round Table. After that, your potential will continue to grow. Next, you can choose a few professions. Do you have any that you like? "

"Lancer!" The half-elf girl answered without hesitation.

Lancer was Grinton's main profession. As his daughter, she had grown up listening to her father's heroic stories. It was normal for her to have some admiration for him.

"You can rely on your face to make a living, but you want to fight in close combat and compete in strength?" Liang Lidong found it a little funny, "I personally suggest that you become a Summoner. I estimate that you have eleven points of Charm, and with the bonus from the title of Knight of the Round Table, you should have twelve points of Charm. With 12 points of Charm, you will be able to summon a small army of Magical Beasts as your abilities get stronger. "

"What's so good about being a Summoner? All I can do is hide in the back and watch small animals die!" Alice shook her head vigorously, "I want to be like my father. I want to be on the front lines. "

"A Summoner with the Elf Bloodline can summon a Unicorn to serve as a mount. Think about it. You can ride on a Unicorn and have a group of Magical Beasts following you as you charge. You yourself will be the commander of the cavalry. There is no need for you to ask for help! "

The half-elf girl's eyes gradually lit up, "A Unicorn?"

As one of the three Holy Beasts, the Unicorn was the most beautiful part of every girl's dream. It represented purity, nobility, and romance. In all the romantic love stories between princesses and princes, the Unicorn would appear. If the princess in the story did not have a Unicorn, she would definitely not be the main character.

But in reality, all these legendary love stories were nonsense. As one of the three fantasy Holy Beasts, the Unicorn was the embodiment of power. It only got close to beautiful and virgin elven girls. It did not even look at humanoid creatures of other races.

"You are saying that if I become a Summoned Beast, I can summon a Unicorn?"

Liang Lidong nodded.

"Alright, I am willing to be your Knight!" The half-elf girl's eyes shone brightly as she knelt on one knee in front of the young man, "Quick, confer the title of Knight on me … Eh? Why does becoming a Knight increase my potential? I have never heard of such a thing before. "

At this moment, the half-elf girl felt that something was wrong. She immediately stood up and took a few steps back, looking wronged and angry as if she had been tricked.

"Didn't your father tell you about this?"

The half-elf girl replied without hesitation, "Father only told you to find me. He said that you would arrange everything."

"To become a Summoner, we must first do some preparation work. So put aside the matter of conferring the title of Knight for now. I will write you a note with the conditions and items needed to become a Summoner. Give it to Glinton and let him prepare it. Those things are quite expensive. I have other uses for my money, so there is no need to spend it on you. "

"Stingy!"

After a few minutes, the half-elf girl unhappily took the note and left the temple. She then got on her horse and galloped away from Reed Village.

Because most of the people in the village had gone out to mine stones and prepare to build roads, there were not many people left in the village. The village was especially quiet. After sending Alice off, Liang Lidong was preparing to go to the mountain behind the village to analyze the Bloodline Magic. As soon as he left the temple and came to the prayer hall, he found that the relief sculpture of the Goddess of Woking was emitting a faint light. There was also a golden light flowing in the statue's eyes.

Liang Lidong couldn't help but be attracted to the statue's eyes. Just as he was feeling strange, he felt his mind become muddled. He was shocked and hurriedly condensed his mental power to dispel the illusion in his mind. Then, he found that he was standing in a very strange place.

This was a very large palace, so big it was unbelievable. What was even more unbelievable was that everything here was made of shining golden light, even the floor stones were laid out piece by piece with golden bricks.
