Interspecies Training Manual

"I am deeply grateful for the Lord's kindness."

Luo An bowed slightly. "I only want to stay on the farm and have no intention of joining the guard."

Brian's smile remained unchanged, as if he had expected this answer.

But doing something is always better than not doing it at all.

He continued to persuade him patiently, "Luo An, do you know that the empire is currently expanding its territory and is in dire need of talent?"

"If you are willing to use the Lord's Guard as a platform, with your abilities, you have a very good chance of entering the Imperial Army."

"It's not impossible for you to achieve great things in the military and become a true nobleman."

Brian was very concerned about Roan's future.

"Roan, compared to becoming a nobleman, are you really content to just stay here guarding this farm?"

"I just heard Grant say that you used magic to save many slaves when his farm was attacked."

He glanced at the elf. "With an elven slave as your guide, your magical skills must be quite good."

"If you don't want to join the army and want to become a magician, I can also write a letter of recommendation to the Royal Magic Academy."

"If you pass the assessment, you can become a student at the magic academy and systematically learn magic."

Luo An knew these were just polite words, and he felt very contemptuous of them.

"I am truly humbled by your high regard for me, my lord."

"But all I really want to do is stay on the farm."

He still refused.

Brian simply wanted to show everyone his appreciation for talent.

In the eyes of others, such a lord is simply too good.

He, on the other hand, is an ungrateful and stubborn person.

"Fine, everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force you."

Brian looked at him with great regret, then waved to the guards behind him.

The guard stepped forward carrying an exquisite wooden box.

Brian opened the box, inside was a bronze medal with the lord's family crest engraved on the front and a longsword and wheat pattern on the back.

"Roan Bell, your bravery in fighting the monster attack and protecting your neighbors deserves a commendation."

"This medal of honor is the lord's reward for you!"

Brian forcibly suppressed the intense discomfort in his heart and personally pinned it to his chest.

"Thank you, my lord."

Luo An bowed again.

He had to praise himself after killing the monsters and slaves sent by Brian.

One can imagine how tense this lord must be at this moment.

"If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."

Having done everything he could to create the scene, Brian didn't want to linger for another second.

He stepped into the carriage and led the large entourage away.

Luo An looked at the medal on his chest and gave a cold smile.

"Master, not a single word Brian said was true."

Celia frowned, finally able to speak her mind, "People who say one thing to your face and another behind your back are the worst."

"It's alright."

Luo An ruffled her silver hair and took off the medal.

Do you know why he came back?

Celia felt comfortable being touched and mumbled softly, "Why?"

Luo An explained, "Because the people he sent monitored me for ten days and assumed you were a free man, Brian thought he had something on me, so he made a special trip."

"But when he arrived, he realized the information was wrong, so he simply said some high-sounding words."

"In this way, whether I agree or not, it will make him appear generous and magnanimous, and eager to cultivate talent."

Celia nodded, not expecting this layer of meaning.

"This person is really bad."

Luo An laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Yes, I refused. Those guards probably think I'm ungrateful."

To be fair, Brian is quite adept at winning people over.

Even though the farm's guards have been retired for many years, they still remember Brian fondly.

It won't be easy to completely bring him down.

Just then, another cloud of dust rose from the dirt road in the distance.

This time the commotion was much smaller than when Brian came.

A team of ten guards led the way, followed by a light brown carriage, also bearing the coat of arms of the lord's family.

"This is..."

Luo An frowned.

Brian just left, and now people from the lord's family are here again?

The convoy quickly drove into the farm and stopped in front of the yard.

A well-dressed middle-aged man dismounted from his horse and opened the carriage door.

Immediately afterwards, a young man dressed in a white brocade robe stepped down from the carriage.

Luo An recognized him at a glance.

The elf Linor, who had a brief encounter with Celia in the main city last time, was someone he bought.

However, his attitude towards Linor was extremely rude.

"This is Lord Levins, the second son of the lord."

Butler Grace explained, "When Lord Levins was inspecting the territory, he heard that this area had been attacked by monsters one after another, and the people had suffered. He came here specifically to offer his condolences."

Luo An's heart skipped a beat.

He never expected that this person was Brian's son.

"Roan Bell greets Lord Levins!"

Luo An and Celia both bowed to him.

"You're Luo An?"

Levins had a smile on his face, but his eyes lit up when he saw the elven slave beside him.

"cough!"

Seeing that Levins was captivated by the elf, Grace coughed deliberately.

Levins then came to his senses and pretended to be serious.

"I heard you repelled the monsters and saved other farms. What a brave warrior!"

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope it can help you."

He took a cloth bag from Grace and handed it to Roan.

"Thank you, Lord Levins."

Knowing that he was Brian's son, Roan didn't even bother with pleasantries and simply accepted the "gift" bag.

What he didn't understand was why the father and son had come to him one after the other.

"The lord just came to my farm to offer his condolences."

Luo An was glad he hadn't thrown away the medal of honor. He took it out of his bag and said, "This is the medal of honor bestowed upon me by the lord."

Levins was taken aback.

"Has Father been here before?"

He came here to inspect the area only because Grace wanted him to make a good impression on the disaster victims, so she made a special detour.

I never expected to meet my father here.

Judging from his expression, Roan didn't seem to know that Brian had also come.

"Luo An, I won't bother you any longer. I still need to check out the next place."

Before getting into the carriage, Levins gave the elf one last look.

This detour turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

The next time he comes out alone, he wants to come here first.

......

As the carriage drove away, neither Roan nor Celia realized that a gaze had been watching them for a long time.

"Linole, just as you said, there are good things out there."

Inside the car, Levins looked at the elf who had been tortured to the point of exhaustion and pinched her face.

"I'll reward you properly when we get back."

Linor didn't say a word, but a chilling smile appeared on her lips.

Just now, through the window, she saw the figure she had been longing for day and night.

After nearly circling the territory, Linor almost thought she would never see her again.

Fortunately, this detour finally allowed her to see Celia.

"Master, have you taken a liking to that elf?"

Linor sat up and tackled Levins to the ground.

"certainly."

Levins let her wriggle on his body.

"Master, I look forward to seeing her."

Linor's nails scratched across Levins's chest, leaving deep marks, and her body moved more violently.

Her smile widened.

Before long, Celia's happiness will be torn apart.

Linor waited for a long time.

She couldn't wait to see that breathtakingly beautiful scene.
