Chapter 229: Hardworking little girl

Views:

"Eni." Annelotte knocked on the door gently, then opened the door directly and walked in. She held an envelope in her hand: "That guy has a letter."

"Oh!" Enelise cheered, and then hurried over to take the envelope.

"..." Annelotte looked at Inelise, who was reading carefully with a smile on her lips, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What did he say?"

"He said that since the first cleaning mission was successfully completed, the commander of Fortress Costa seems to have relied on them. Now they have helped the army complete several missions brilliantly!" Inelise He waved the letter: "Also, Sister Eileen also learned a lot of medical skills there, and now she has almost become the most important medical staff in the fortress!"

"As for Irene, she does have this talent." Annelotte said with a smile. Although it was only three months, Irene was able to master the basic knowledge of medical skills. Even she couldn't help but admire the girl of the same age. Superhuman perseverance and learning ability. Annelotte was very relieved to have people like her providing medical protection for the Kordak team.

"It was also mentioned in the letter." Inelise opened the second piece of letter paper, looked at it, and said in surprise: "Since the accumulation of military achievements was unexpectedly smooth, he discussed with his uncle and the others and decided that after this winter, he would return!"

"Really?" Annelotte said calmly.

"Eh? Why is the reaction so dull?" Inelise blinked her big green eyes, then looked up at Annelotte and said, "Sister Anne, actually, you are also very happy, right?"

"What am I so happy about?" Annelotte looked a little unnatural.

"Hehe, don't lie to yourself anymore." Inelise said with a smile: "Actually, I knew it earlier. Sister Anne, you are also looking forward to the return of your brother and the others! Otherwise, you wouldn't run to ask every day. I know if any letters have arrived~~."

"That kind of guy, I don't want to see him." Anello turned her head.

"Sister Anne, you are so shy! Humph! You mean what you say!" Inelise said in a fit of blood.

"No!"

"you… "

"Okay, it's time to go for basic magic training. Stop making trouble." Annelotte quickly interrupted.

"Magic training... ok... ok." Inelise suddenly fainted when she heard this word, and she responded in a daze.

"..." Annelotte couldn't bear to see the little girl's appearance, so she tried to persuade her: "Yini."

"Um?"

"I think you should stop learning magic." Annelotte sighed and said, "Don't blame me for being direct, you... you don't have this talent at all..."

"I just started too late!" Enelise said stubbornly.

"There are many people who start late, but they can sense the existence of magic for at least three months, but you have not sensed anything until now. This is not a matter of starting early or late, but a matter of talent... You... You really can't be a mage." Annelotte wanted to correct this misconception of Inelise.

"..." After hearing this sentence, Enelise's face immediately turned pale. She couldn't be a mage... She couldn't be a mage... She couldn't be a mage...

Annelotte was also startled when she saw Inelise's condition. She walked over and hugged the little girl, and then said: "I'm sorry, Inelise, I didn't mean to irritate you..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo past..." Inelise leaned against Annelotte's full chest and sobbed. Although she wore a lot of clothes in winter, after a while, the little girl's tears directly soaked those clothes, Let her feel a warmth in her chest.

"Yini... don't be sad, okay? I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to irritate you just now." Annelotte said with a bit of self-blame: "I... I just don't want to see you working so hard in vain... "

"I know, I know, Sister Anne." Inelise said with a cry: "But I am really sad... I am so small and thin, I have no strength at all, and I can't be a warrior. So I want to be a mage, But now I find that I have no talent at all in magic. I feel so useless... What can I do? What can I do??? Woo hoo hoo... "

"Okay, okay, Yi Ni, be good and stop crying." Annelotte patted Yi Nelis' little head and comforted her softly, then took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "It won't look good if you cry. Okay?"

"..." Inelise had a hard-working expression on her face, but tears still fell down.

"It's all your fault!" Seeing the little girl crying pitifully, Annelotte became even more annoyed with Regnar. She still remembered what the little girl said to her when she first brought Inelis to her.

"Sister Anne, can you do me a favor?" Enelise asked at that time.

"What's up?"

"I..." Enelise hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I want to learn magic, can you teach me?"

"Learning magic? Why?" Annelotte was a little confused. Isn't this little girl usually good? Why do you suddenly want to be a magician

"Because...because I want to stay with Brother Regnar!" Inelise summoned the courage to say.

"Um?"

"Look, sister Anne, you are so powerful that even my brother has a hard time beating you. Sister Irene is so kind and considerate, and she has become a priest now..." Inelise said pitifully: "But what about me? I'm just a useless little girl until now. So, I also want to become a magician, as powerful a magician as Sister Anne. In this way, I can help Brother Regnar. Now, I can stay with Brother Regnar!"

"Actually, even if you can't help in any way, Regnar won't drive you away." Annelotte reminded, although the little girl clearly expressed her affection for Regnar, it caused some strangeness in her heart. But she tried to ignore the feeling.

"But this is not equitable." Inelise said: "I know that giving to each other is not an exchange, but unilateral giving is definitely not equitable. Moreover, I don't want to be someone who only cares about Regnar. Crying little sister in my arms, I want to become better, stronger, and more outstanding! I want brother Regnar to see my excellence. Only in this way will he not just regard me as someone else. Only with a little sister can he really look at me."

"Okay, I'll teach you..." Perhaps infected by the confidence and determination shining in Inelise's eyes when she said this, Annelotte agreed to Inelise with almost confusion. ask. But there was always a question lingering in her mind: "Why would anyone still like that guy? Huh? Why should I say yes?"

In the next three months, Inelise also proved her determination to Annelotte.

This little girl, who is less than 1.5 meters tall, insists on exercising her strength every day, and also conducts combat skills training and magic enlightenment training. Out of the twenty-four hours a day, she has been working hard for almost sixteen hours, and has not stopped for three months. But now, fate has also given its answer: she is too weak to become a warrior, and at the same time, No magic talent whatsoever.

In other words, Inelise's three months of hard work and three months of hard work yielded only zero. This kind of thing, let alone a teenage girl like Enelise, would probably be difficult for even a mature adult to accept.

Inelise's wish is very simple, she wants to be a useful person, that's all. But even such a simple wish is still as difficult as reaching heaven for her. Should she give up? I'm afraid she will be sad for a long time, right? Don't let her give up? Should we just let her continue to make futile efforts here? what to do? hateful! How can I do

While Annelotte was still struggling with how to solve Inelise's knot, Inelise cheered up first. She stubbornly left Annelotte's arms, then picked up a few pieces of paper from the desk and handed them to Annelotte.

"Sister Anne, this is the magic homework you left for me last time. I've finished it." Inelise whispered.

"..." Annelotte's eyes were slightly moist, and she asked in a hoarse voice: "You... do you still want to persist?"

"I have to persevere." Inelise said with a forced smile: "Because I made an appointment with Brother Regnar to let him watch my growth and progress. Now it's just... just some small difficulties, that's all. How can I back down? How can I not insist? I have already made an appointment with him, how can I break the agreement? I must insist!"

"Okay, I support you..." Annelotte wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took Inelise's homework and checked it carefully. In order to help Inelise understand some basic principles of the magical world, she deliberately prepared a lot of theoretical homework for Inelise.

"..." Annelotte sighed helplessly after looking at it for a few minutes.

Correct, absolutely correct. Although the theoretical test questions she gave Enelise were only entry-level, they were not easy to answer correctly. And now Inelise has answered all the test questions correctly, which shows that she has put a lot of effort into this.

"Exactly, Yi Ni, you are great!" Annelotte encouraged.

"Really?" Inelise's originally worried face immediately showed a look of surprise. Although she does not have any magic perception ability, this does not mean that Enelise has no magic talent at all.

At least, her talent in the theoretical understanding of magic is first-class, and she can easily understand the magic books Annelotte gave her. However, due to physical limitations, she was unable to feel the existence of any magic power at all, and this was doomed to her inability to become a mage.

"Huh? What is this?" Annelotte was stunned. She suddenly discovered that the papers that Inelis gave her were not only filled with test questions and answers on the front, but also full of words on the back.

"Ah..." Inelise's face turned red. She stretched out her hand and explained: "Sister Anne, didn't you give me a book on magic potions? When I was bored, I just wrote casually based on the knowledge I gained from it. Several potion formulas. They should all be wrong. Sister Anne, please stop reading."

"Wait!" Annelotte's face was rarely serious, and she directly pushed away Inelise's hand.

"Sister Anne..." Inelise was shocked when she saw Annelotte's face. She just thought that her dishonest behavior had annoyed Annelotte, so now there was a bit of fear in her big eyes. Oh my God! That's Sister Annie. What should little Yi Ni do if she makes her angry

"These things? Did you write them all yourself?!" Annelotte suddenly lowered her head and asked seriously.

"This... is... yes..." Inelise replied with a trembling voice. She still did not dare to lie to Annelotte.

"Use dragon's blood grass instead of lava snail shells, and then use tricolor flowers and golden water leaves to neutralize the toxicity of dragon's blood grass, plus other things... This not only saves costs, but also makes the medicinal properties more stable..." Annelotte said. Muttered to himself: "Although eight additional materials have been added, and the potion will still have a little bit of toxicity... But the cost of each bottle of the cold resistance potion is... about ten silver coins lower?! Nearly 30%?!"

"Sister Anne..." Inelise was a little unsure. The expression on Annelotte's face was very strange at this time. She didn't know whether this was a good thing or not. But then again, it was weird enough that Annelotte had an expression on her face.

"Eni!" Annelotte suddenly turned around and shouted.

"Huh?!" Inelise was startled by Annelotte's surprise.

"Did you really write all these things yourself?!" Annelotte asked seriously: "No one helped you?"

"Probably not..." Enelise thought for a while. Although part of the inspiration for this recipe came from her own dreams at night, her own dreams... that should be considered her own thinking...

"to be honest!"

"Yes! I did it myself!" Enelise said firmly through gritted teeth.

Annelotte looked at Inelise blankly, and then suddenly smiled: "I think I know what your specialty is!"
