In another world, Lu Mingfei is learning card making.

—Oh, it's not that Rong En deliberately left it blank, it's just that he didn't know what his only son's name was.

To explain this, we need to start with these two "titles".

The "Kingdom's Twin Swords" refer to two swords: one is the sword of the hero, representing the previous generation's hero, while the other is a metaphorical representation of this "valkyrie on the battlefield."

The Sword of the Warrior is a holy sword from the Holy Church, while this Valkyrie is chosen by the kingdom.

In a sense, placing these two on the same level represents a compromise between royal power and papal power.

However, this does not mean that the identities of the two can be equalized as a result—in the currently verifiable history, the hero is always chosen by the sword of the hero.

It's not uncommon for fathers and sons to be chosen as heroes in succession, but such inheritance rarely reaches the third generation. As for a fourth-generation hero in a family line? That simply doesn't exist.

However, the Valkyrie of the kingdom does indeed have noble blood—she herself even holds the title of duke bestowed by the king.

"This also means that her child will be perfectly protected unless he has a talent that is outstanding enough to bring glory to their family." Ron shrugged. "Of course, those nobles know this, like Lacey, but my adopted child, a child from a family that has been struggling in the dirt for generations, certainly can't do that."

Lu Mingfei stroked his chin—it was obvious that Rong En wasn't such a mean person. Although he didn't want to say it, with his intelligence, he couldn't have come up with such a sharp and sarcastic remark.

Struggling to survive in the dirt? Lu Mingfei couldn't have imagined for a week that someone could curse like that.

"So, you were mocked by that guy when you enrolled?" Lu Mingfei felt that his intelligence was definitely more than the 9 marked on the webpage—oh, it's 9 now (97/100%), almost 10.

After all, he could instantly deduce what had happened from the three facts: "Rong En dared to strike up a conversation with someone during the sorting process," "Rong En couldn't find any classmates to hang out with," and "Rong En inexplicably said some harsh words that he would never normally say..."

"Sorry." Lu Mingfei rubbed his head in annoyance.

He shouldn't have consulted Rong En about this—that kid is certainly a good fighter, but when it comes to things that require thinking…

It would be better if he figured out a solution himself.

"Should I call Lacey back and ask her?" Ron looked around and found Lacey.

She had no friends among the girls and stood alone on the side, unable to go to the library since the teacher hadn't said anything about it.

"Never mind, whether I ask or not, it doesn't really make a big difference." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Regardless, even if it's just because of their parents' relationship, the two of them are destined to be compared.

"Instead of that, tell me what this kingdom's Valkyrie has to offer," Lu Mingfei said, rubbing his fingers together with great interest.

A Valkyrie, after all, is a "War Goddess," so she must possess martial arts skills far more advanced than "Wand Combat Techniques," right?

Even if this Western-style world doesn't have profound martial arts techniques like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Lingbo Steps, or Toad Stance, that Valkyrie must have mastered something like "battle qi," right?

—Wait, does this world even have "battle aura" used by "warriors"?

"What's so special about Valkyries?" Ron asked, arms crossed, deep in thought. "What aspect do you want to hear about?"

"Like the wand combat technique you gave me..."

"There's no such thing." Upon hearing Lu Mingfei's guess, Rong En decisively shook his head. "The moment I heard you say that, I knew you had absolutely no understanding of the Holy Church's scriptures—I ask you, do you even know what Valkyrie means?"

"Valkyrie, is... a female warrior who's good at fighting?" Lu Mingfei looked surprised. Was there some other meaning behind the term "Valkyrie"?

"Wrong. In theology, 'Die Walküre' are daughters of earthly kings chosen by the gods, or virgins chosen by the gods to ascend to heaven after swearing an oath to serve them. They bestow a beautiful kiss upon the fallen on the battlefield and guide them to Valhalla..."

Rong En clapped his hands and began to expound on theology:

"They are called Valkyries, but in reality they only wear divinely bestowed golden armor and golden or silver helmets decorated with feathers or shaped like bird wings."

"In a figurative sense, they also mean 'the many elements that bring about victory in war.' For example, 'Gerndar' in the Valkyries also means 'a powerful sorcerer'; 'Haefjord' means 'a solemn and orderly military appearance.'"

"So this 'Valkyrie of the Kingdom'... doesn't seem to be a title that boasts formidable combat power?" Lu Mingfei frowned.

Ron could describe the Valkyrie's detailed name and its implied meaning, but this "Valkyrie of the Kingdom" was not called "Heffyote of the Kingdom" or "Gerndal of the Kingdom"...

Is it that the people in charge of propaganda in the kingdom couldn't come up with a detailed name for the Valkyrie, or is it that this Valkyrie can only achieve the literal meaning and not the extended meaning?

"No need for 'seems,' she definitely isn't." Rong En couldn't help but curl his lip. "That's how military nobles do things. The victories achieved by the soldiers fighting on the front lines are simply attributed to them by adding 'under their leadership' to the battle reports."

"If the victory of completely banishing the demons hadn't been so significant, and if the Holy Knights hadn't used their precious 'detection of good and evil' on certain individuals, who knows..."

"Hey, let's not talk about that—regarding the Noble House, do you have any ideas about the road?"

"They were able to tamper with the battle results of the soldiers at the front because the nobles in the rear only recognized those battle reports. These numbers of heroes are really obtained from the heroes' inheritance. We can't let them steal even that."

Lu Mingfei hesitated for a moment.

He had thought that this was a secret among "time travelers," and since the other party was also a time traveler and even wanted to develop such a simple calculation method, he naturally shouldn't interfere—as for that devil on Earth?

How it obtained information about Saint Marian remains a mystery, and Lu Mingfei naturally wouldn't forcibly label that unfamiliar transmigrator as an enemy based on such unfounded connections.

After all, Lu Mingfei did not have any concrete evidence of a connection between the two.

To catch adulterers in the act, you need to catch them in the act; to catch thieves, you need to catch them dirty. You can't make things up without solid evidence.

"But if they really insult Rong En like that..." Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, starting to think, "then it seems I don't need to show so much mercy."

"Even if it's just to avenge Rong En."
