Tia was still young, but she would be a great girl in a few years. Angele just wanted to do whatever he wanted, so it didn't really matter if she succeeded or not.
Of course, it was just something he did on a whim, but for Tia, it was a chance to change her life.
"Let's go." He walked to the captain.
"This time, the city guards are here mainly to conduct a thorough investigation of all the recent foreign residents. I hope you can cooperate with us, "the captain said.
"Are you Master Angele Rio?" the captain asked in a deep voice.
The guards were well-trained, and they quickly left the yard. Other than the little girl, Tia, everyone else was chased out of the shop by the guards.
Tia endured it all. Every day, when she was free from work, she would listen to the conversations of the customers. Gradually, she came to realize that people with weapons on their waists would instill a faint fear in others when they spoke to them. That was the symbol of power.
After wandering the streets for some time, Tia found a job in a pie shop that paid her nothing but room and board. She would work from morning to night, and if she was not careful, she would be beaten up.
"Yes, Master Angele." Tia looked happy, and she bowed to Angele.
They were pushed away by a tall and strong swordsman behind them.
Tia was well aware of her own circumstances, which was why she could feel that Angele's teachings were carried out without any selfish motives or desires. She was grateful for that.
"Come on, Mafia, don't forget our mission!" The leader stopped Mafia and turned to Angele after calming him down. "Alright, we entered your house without permission, and it's our fault. I apologize on behalf of the city guards. "
Everyone in the city called Gerac the Tiger of Lennon. Now, Gerac was leading a team to pick up a new noble who had just settled in the city. That was why the captain of the city guards was so angry.
Tia looked at him, confused. She didn't know what he meant.
"You're too slow." Angele shook his head and dropped the black towel to the ground. He walked to the gate with his sword in hand.
They all knew these heavy-armored swordsmen. They were the guards of the City Lord's Mansion. The leader of the team was Captain Gerac, a knight-level master. He once guarded the city gate for more than five minutes with his sword alone during the Battle of Andrew. At that time, thousands of people besieged the city, but none of them could break through the city gate. The bodies of the enemy soldiers were piled up to half the height of the gate.
She pursued power and persevered no matter how difficult it was for her. Making a lot of mistakes every day could actually cause such a serious aftereffect on such a young body. One could only imagine how much he had to train.
Angele walked to the well and wiped his sweat with the black towel he found by the well. Then he took off his crossguard sword and leaned it against the edge of the well.
Angele sat in the carriage and looked out of the window.
"Whether we are educated or not is not up to you to decide!" the leader said in a deep voice.
"Maffey!" His companion hurriedly stopped him. "Don't be rash! Don't forget that your previous punishment hasn't been revoked! "
Tia stood in the shop, staring at him, completely bewildered.
Tia stood alone in the yard, not knowing what to do.
Angele was a bit surprised and nodded. He didn't expect Lennon City to value the mysterious power so much that they even prepared a banquet just for him.
"Get out of here!" Gerac was not angry at all.
One of them was teaching and the other was listening. Soon, more than half an hour had passed.
The sky was covered with clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
Tia was surprised by Angele's words, but she nodded after hearing what Angele said. There was a joyful expression on her face.
Angele looked at the two and sneered.
"You!" The city guard was grabbed by Maffey's companion. The two guards were pushed by the captain of the heavy armor swordsman, so they were still trying to hold back their anger. However, judging from the situation, it seemed like Maffey and Tia were much more powerful than normal city guards. They were not people they could afford to offend. The captain of the team held Maffey tightly, afraid that Maffey would cause trouble.
That was why he didn't try to explain himself when the city guards misunderstood him. Instead, he tacitly acknowledged the relationship between him and Tia. No matter what the others thought, his tacit acknowledgement meant that he and Tia were indeed related, and he would treat her with more respect.
"You can try." Angele picked up the crossguard sword from the well and sneered.
Tia started practicing her sword skills with tree branches, hoping that she could become a person like Angele in the future. Unfortunately, her wrist had been feeling uncomfortable recently, and the back of her right hand would sometimes turn blue, as if it was being pricked by needles.
* BAM *
The door of the carriage was closed. The coachman shouted, and the carriage started moving slowly. The guards of the Mayor's Mansion stood by the side and left the alley.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Master Angele. Let's go. "He opened the door of the wooden carriage and stood on it.
Angele changed into a clean white suit and put all the important items into his pouch. He walked out of the shop with a long sword by his waist.
"Don't worry, you two. One of your tasks is almost done, "he said in a light tone.
Angele's expression softened. "That's good. However, entering their residence will have a negative impact on my privacy. I'm not in a good mood right now, so I don't want to cooperate with you. Alright, you can leave now. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of armor and weapons clashing came from behind the two city guards.
Under Angele's guidance, she realized that she was practicing the wrong posture and her body was suffering from the side effects. Her right hand would be damaged if she kept practicing it like this.
The atmosphere in the yard was gloomy. It was different from the hot weather several days ago. There was cold wind blowing in the yard.
Two burly men in white plate armor walked in from the door and pushed Tia who was blocking the way. They stared at Angele in the yard.
"Master Angele is not a normal person …" she muttered.
Angele did not explain.
"Practice a little more on what I'm teaching you. I'll come back tonight, "Angele said.
"Trash." Angele had a cold expression on his face.
"You!" The other guard saw Angele's attitude, so he grabbed the hilt of his sword and glared at Angele.
Only then did he turn around and look at Tia, who was still standing there.
"Get out of here, I need to change my clothes."
"Hey! Move! "
Half an hour later.
The shops on the street were moving backward quickly.
A black carriage was already waiting in front of the shop. There was a white bird and a sunflower embossed on the carriage. The sunflower looked like a mandala flower, but it was golden in color. The flowers were woven into a ring with a white bird in the middle. It looked like an emblem.
"Say that again!" The other guard put his hand on the hilt of his sword and gritted his teeth. "I'll show you who's the trash!"
"I'm sorry, Master Angele. We saw the door was open and there was a commotion coming from inside, so we decided to come in. We wanted to help you." The captain bowed to Angele and spoke in a polite tone.
"The City Lord has set up a banquet and is waiting for you," Gerak said respectfully.
"It seems like they misunderstood you," Gerald said in a low voice.
As an ordinary-looking, skinny, and malnourished little girl, even if she were to be given to nobles who liked young girls, no one would be willing to take her in.
He bowed slightly in apology and saluted.
Angele glanced at the girl, who did not dare to move. Tia's face was pale, and it seemed like she was scared by the scene.
"Yes, Master Angele, I'll go now!" She turned around and was about to leave. But before he could take more than a few steps, a few tall figures blocked the entrance to the courtyard.
"I don't know if it's a good thing for you or not." He entered the room and closed the door.
"Who let you in?" Angele's expression turned serious. "How dare you enter the private residence of a noble? Are all the guards in Lennon City so uneducated? "
Angele liked the fact that she was a good person. No matter what kind of environment they were in, they would still want to become stronger. Even if they did not have the talent to become knights, they would still become excellent warriors.
The two guards' expressions changed.
"Why are you still standing there? Go back and review what you learned today. We'll come back tomorrow, "Angele said.
Angele was indeed planning to take Tia as his disciple. According to Zero's analysis, Tia had the talent to become a knight. Although her talent was not good, it was still better than Angele's. She could inherit Angele's swordsmanship and archery skills. Since Angele was going to live in Lennon City, he needed a few close subordinates to do things for him. It would be too inefficient if he did everything by himself.
Her father was a drunkard, and her mother ran away from home. Tia relied on herself for everything. No one was willing to help her. One night when she was 9 years old, her father went out and never came back.
"It's here!" A team of heavily-armored swordsmen hastily walked into the courtyard. The leader of the team had a black feather on his helmet, and he did not care about the guard he just pushed away.
"I …!" The impulsive guard was stopped by Tong Bai again.
Angele put his sword back into the sheath. He looked at the sky.
