This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

Dragon Dance Sword Technique level increased to 2

Current Level: Dragon Dance Sword Technique LV.2

The system notification sounded, indicating that Yulia had reached level two in swordsmanship through training.

Thor was very satisfied that she had leveled up so quickly; Julia seemed to be very self-disciplined.

He put down what he was doing, left the cellar, and rushed to the backyard, where he saw Yulia, covered in sweat, intently swinging her sword.

Yulia wore a black halter-neck dress, revealing her fair shoulders, and held a wooden sword in her hand, swinging it incessantly.

Today, Yulia's sword-wielding movements have changed compared to the previous few days.

Her legs sometimes crossed, sometimes parallel, sometimes forward, and sometimes backward.

It felt as if I were fighting against an opponent that I had imagined actually existed.

Although the girl's movements were still somewhat clumsy, her agility was still undeniable.

The movements weren't executed properly, but the speed was quite fast.

It's only a matter of time before the psychedelic footsteps form a system.

As expected, the Dragon Dance Sword Technique is different from ordinary sword techniques.

It is at least a comprehensive swordsmanship that incorporates movement techniques.

Thor stood aside and watched for a while.

Yulia also saw Thor standing to the side, so she stopped what she was doing, held the wooden sword behind her back, and skipped towards Thor.

"How is it?!"

Thor saw longing in Julia's sincere eyes.

Thor didn't hold back his praise, after all, Yulia was indeed quite amazing.

"You're really amazing, Yulia."

"It's only a matter of time before you become a master swordsman."

Yulia's tone was extremely tense.

"I'm going to practice my sword, young master..."

Okay, keep it up.

Thor didn't say anything more.

He was pleased to see Julia's enthusiasm.

The most important thing is to practice swordsmanship diligently.

Thor then said goodbye to her and returned to the house.

......

When it was time for dinner, Thor noticed that Yulia was very happy. She was sitting next to him, wagging her tail and staring intently at him.

At this moment, Thor was not thinking about what had happened that afternoon, nor about Julia's beautiful face.

It was about Count Oscar's affairs.

Of course, Yulia's sword training is equally important.

Yulia's current swordsmanship level is at level two.

The time and effort required to improve these skills, just like improving one's extraordinary level, increases exponentially.

For example:

It takes an ordinary person ten days to advance from level zero to level one, but it takes Yulia one day.

It takes an ordinary person a month to advance from level one to level two, but Yulia did it in three days.

It takes longer to upgrade from level 2 to level 3.

Even for Yulia, it would take at least half a month to a month.

Subsequent upgrades will take even longer.

It is also possible to improve the efficiency of swordsmanship training.

You need to find a teacher or a sparring partner.

It would be best to involve her directly in the incident.

However, Yulia was too weak to participate in anything.

"Young master, did my swordsmanship look cool today?!"

Yulia's voice interrupted his thoughts.

He turned his head and saw Julia looking at him with expectant eyes.

"Of course," Thor replied sincerely.

"His swordsmanship is cool, and his posture is beautiful."

"Keep this momentum going, you're in great shape right now."

"Um!!!"

Yulia nodded her little head, looking very happy.

"that......"

She poked her finger, looking somewhat embarrassed:

"Young Master, I've tried so hard."

"Is there any reward...?"

"award?"

Thor simply said:

"Just tell me what reward you want."

Julia sensed that Thor was somewhat distracted.

She hesitated for a moment.

"Haven't decided what reward you want?" Thor asked.

Yulia couldn't utter the words she had prepared.

"Hmm... I haven't decided yet..."

"Okay, then think it over before you speak."

All kinds of cultivation techniques and resources that money can buy.

With Thor's wealth, buying some cultivation treasures for Yulia shouldn't be a problem.

He then began to think about his future plans.

After today's events.

With one of his bases destroyed, Count Oscar would naturally be on high alert.

The Guard Bureau will also investigate the other territories of their accomplices.

This slaughterhouse belongs to Viscount Cario.

Viscount Cario is an associate of Count Oscarna and owns several similar slaughterhouses in the city.

At this very moment, they have probably already been investigated.

However, they probably won't find anything.

The Gale organization founded by Count Oscar had contingency plans in place to avoid potential chain reactions.

According to the map Thor obtained, the remaining strongholds do not belong to Viscount Cario or Earl Oscarna.

The Guard Hall could not have discovered these places without a reason.

Thor began to wonder if he could use this map, which marked the nearby outposts, to his advantage.

This map marks three nearby "cooperative outposts".

These three outposts are only a part of all the outposts.

It is unclear what the cooperation refers to; it may refer to measures similar to joint defense.

Would it have been better if I had left the map inside the tunnel from the beginning?

He quickly dismissed his own idea.

Staying inside the tunnel could indeed allow the guards to discover the map and trace it back to other nearby outposts.

But more likely, this thin piece of paper will disappear in the fire or be destroyed by the collapsing cave.

His goal was indeed to stop the human sacrifice.

But we can't take too much risk, can we?

As a third-tier mage, my strength is only at the level of someone standing on the roadside.

Being able to take down even one outpost is already considered lucky.

There's too little information about the other outposts, and it would definitely be risky to go and solve the problem alone.

Moreover, the other party may have anticipated that these locations would be investigated and dealt with in advance, and took precautions accordingly.

In any case, the risks are significant.

At that moment, he thought of someone.

Saint Isela.

With the Queen's authorization, she secretly investigated Count Oscar.

If we can utilize the power of the church.

Not only is there no risk to oneself, but the probability of success is also much greater.

Thor ate his dinner absentmindedly and placed his plate on the table.

Julia stared at Thor for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"

"Can I help you with this?" Yulia asked sincerely.

Thor thought about it, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Yulia is too weak right now; she doesn't need to know about such things.

"It's not exactly something on my mind, but I do have something to take care of and need to go out."

He didn't explain anything further, but simply walked silently towards the door.

"Um??"

Looking at Thor, who left without saying goodbye and traveled alone.

Then I recalled his listless expression just now.

Yulia narrowed her eyes, suddenly sensing a hint of danger.

"Could it be...?"
