Hate me, Miss Witch

Chapter 6 A ferret can read monthly, which makes sense

"While completing the arrest of the second-level wanted warrant, the evidence was perfectly locked without causing any casualties to innocent people."

"Including this time, your accumulated meritorious service in the Command Bureau is enough for you to qualify for the title of Honored Noble. Or, after graduating from Saint Laurent College, you can directly become the executive officer of the Command Bureau, with the same rank as me."

In Resa's command bureau branch, a middle-aged officer wearing a dark cloak looked at the file in his hand and looked at Char in front of him with some surprise.

In this world, there are extraordinary creatures and extraordinary powers such as beast masters, and beast masters are a profession that extremely requires soul qualifications.

Therefore, whether it is the Holy See or the major nobles.

Or maybe the empire's governing bureau and military headquarters have a great need for young beastmasters as fresh blood.

Of course, as an official organization directly affiliated with the empire itself, the bureau's demand for talents is naturally not something that can be met by the young people who were previously trafficked by Anlina.

At the level of helping people pay after being sold, he is not qualified to be a handyman serving tea and water in the branch.

The governing bureau will open bounty mission authority to some senior students of the Extraordinary Academy. The lack of manpower and need for assistance is only a secondary reason.

The main reason is to select the reserves and talent reserves of the bureau in this way.

There is no doubt that the young man named Xia Ya in front of him is an undisputed high-quality talent.

In less than a year since he came to Resa from the imperial capital, he has completed almost all high-level bounties in the command branch at a terrifying speed.

Even some long-standing mysteries have been swept away.

This made him, the deacon of the command bureau branch, quite free during this time.

However, the middle-aged officer's subtle solicitation did not receive the response he expected.

To ordinary civilian students, his status as a decorated noble was gleaming, but at this moment it lost its original alluring appeal.

"There is no need for honors or military ranks."

"I want to use the merit accumulated during this period to redeem the purchase rights for a fourth-level extraordinary resource in the command bureau warehouse."

Char's voice was calm.

Imperial military rank or noble status are quite valuable, but he has already planned his plan.

At this moment, the last part of the plan is ready.

Gray and white hills.

This place is hundreds of miles away from Resa, and is extremely close to the border of the Foresta Empire.

In addition, the surrounding area is barren and uninhabited, and it is also adjacent to the golden wilderness where an emperor-level beast king is stationed and a large number of beasts are entrenched. Therefore, this place can be said to be a truly unclaimed land.

For various reasons.

On the premise of providing sufficient political donations to Resa officials, Char was easily approved for the archaeological mining rights in the Gray and White Hills.

Wouldn't it be nice to exchange a bunch of real, golden Rheingold coins for a person who hates dogs?
  Of course, if the system's mission guide hadn't clearly pointed out that this was the location of Char's novice mission, then maybe Char would have agreed with their point of view.

But at this moment, he may be the only one in the world who knows.

This barren gray-white hill was once the capital of the Cangting Principality more than five hundred years ago.

Xia Ya shuttled among the dense trees, and Yin squatted obediently on his shoulder. In his left eye, which was as clear as glass, the textures of the silver moon and blood-colored magatama slowly rotated in the interweaving.

From time to time, mortal-level beasts passed by Char's body, but they passed by Char without knowing anything under Yin's illusion, and did not notice anything strange at all.

[Successfully completing a skill use will increase skill proficiency by three points. 】

["Silver"'s illusion skill "Tsukiyomi" proficiency has completed a breakthrough and has been upgraded from "Proficient" to "Perfect"]

[The combat level of "Silver" has been improved, and the current combat level is 28 (extraordinary level)]

When the light in the little ferret's eyes flickered on and off again, a blue light curtain suddenly appeared in Xia Ya's mind. "Have you finally broken through?"

"It seems that the previous battle with Nightmare Butterfly, who is also good at illusions, has improved Yin's skill proficiency a lot."

Xia Ya muttered to herself, her consciousness moving slightly.

The next moment, the light curtain in his mind changed.

[Name: Silver]

[Racial name: Snow Marten]

[Soul Contract Status: The First Soul Contract (Master-Slave Contract: Char Egut)]

[Combat Level: 28 (Level )]

[Racial Level: High Commander (Level 3)]

[Pet beast skills: Hunting Rhythm (Mastery), Rending Claw (Basic), Ice Blade (Proficient), Charm (Superior), Tsukuyomi (Perfect)]

Snow Marten - Silver.

This is the main pet beast contracted by Char's first soul contract. He signed a soul contract with Char when he was still a newborn cub.

According to common sense, as a high-ranking leader of the race, the Snow Marten should mainly hone the two physical-based innate skills of "Hunting Rhythm" and "Tearing Claw", and embark on the path of a ghostly and invisible agility-based assassin.

Or it could be to strengthen the elemental talent skill "Ice Blade", mainly to improve the ferret's already extremely high affinity with the ice element, and to become an elemental fort mainly based on the ice element. These are both quite powerful development routes.

And "Charm", a low-level illusion that can make the opponent lose their guard and hostility by being cute, should only be used to provide support and buffs.

However, since I am a time traveler, I still have a system.

Although this system is not very reliable, Xia Ya is naturally not willing to let Yin follow the old path step by step, where the potential can be seen at a glance.

On the basis of the ultra-high proficiency of "Charm", he created the high-level illusion skill "Tsukuyomi", which is the evolutionary route planned by Char for Gin.

After all, ferrets are members of the mustelidae family, and if they can read for months, it is naturally very reasonable.

As for the final effect of this deviant development route——

Anyway, among Char's classmates at St. Laurent Academy, even those heirs of great aristocrats whose pet beast species were ranked as low-level kings would lose more than they win when they meet Silver.

Xia Ya's footsteps suddenly paused slightly, ending her endless thoughts.

He pushed away the bushes, and his eyes suddenly became bright.

The dark forest disappeared and was replaced by an empty plain.

The originally lush woods here have been artificially cleared away, and under the flat land, there are holes after squares of earth and stone that have been excavated.

And in the hollows, there are withered and gray architectural ruins everywhere.

Although the bricks and stones that formed the backbone of the building had long since weathered and decayed, Xia Ya could still imagine from the incomplete outline the majestic and majestic scenery of this entire building complex when it was intact.

Almost at the same time, the cold system prompt sound came along with the change of the light curtain in Xia's mind.

[It has been detected that the host has arrived at the target location, and the mission progress panel has been opened]

[Novice mission: Let Silvia, the young, ignorant and ignorant daughter of the Grand Duke, experience the betrayal of her loved ones and complete transformation and rebirth amidst pain and despair. 】

[Current task progress:
  1. Arrive at the location of Cangting Principality (completed)

2. Become a member of the Grand Duke Family of Cangting Principality (Completed)
  3. Make the favorability of Silvia, the daughter of the Grand Duke, exceed 30 points (unfinished)]
