#270 - Section 270
"Yes, that is your responsibility from now on. Whether you hold a dagger or a spinning shuttle, you should understand the direction you should truly strive for before making a choice."
Seeing that Sanya had completely calmed down and seemed to accept her words, that she wouldn't come to the training ground to enlist before adulthood, she instructed one of the school's administrators to take her away.
Sanya obediently allowed the teacher, whose eyes were a little red, to take her hand. After walking a short distance, she suddenly turned around and shouted:
"I'm sorry, my name isn't actually Sanya... I don't have a name... But everyone has a name, so I lied to you!"
Tears suddenly streamed down her usually stubborn face, falling incessantly.
This was the source of Sanya's guilt.
An untouchable, without even a name, should have lived like a rat in the sewers, struggling on the edge of survival.
How could she, by falsely claiming a name, enjoy equal treatment, eat enough food, wear clean new clothes, and even receive education alongside children from good families?
She was apprehensive, feeling like she had stolen something from someone else.
Everyone was surprised, yet not surprised, simply unsure how to handle the situation.
Xiana said, "Do you like being called Sanya?"
"Of course, I like it!"
Compared to her past life, being Sanya was like living in paradise. Everyone called out this name equally, without showing disdain. She was even praised for her performance in physical education, and the teacher said everyone should learn from Sanya...
Could a rat like her become a role model?
"Then you are Sanya, and you can also have your own surname..."
Xiana suddenly froze.
She originally wanted this lovely and pitiful girl to take her surname, but she... also didn't have a surname.
Wuwuwu, my heart also aches, and I want to cry.
"Pandit, from today onwards, you are Sanya Pandit!" Hard followed up.
"No, I can't. This is the surname closest to the gods; I can't possibly..." Sanya quickly waved her hands.
Hard was the Pope's younger brother, but his family had been devout followers of the Goddess of War for thousands of years.
The surname Pandit, even among the first class, was the most noble and ancient, belonging to the highest echelon of people in this world.
Compared to Sanya, who was just an invisible untouchable, receiving a surname like Pandit instinctively filled her with fear.
"In the Tianming Army, there are no gods. We are all comrades. A name is just a code to distinguish you from other Sanyas."
Hard unfastened his defensive dagger and handed it to Sanya. "Take this for self-defense. After school, I will teach you and start your combat training."
Sanya was stunned, then joyfully accepted it and nodded vigorously.
This great figure, who had always been the most patient with her, was indeed a good person!
"Thank you, Uncle!" she said crisply.
Hard's expression stiffened.
He just looked a little older than his age; he was still a young man, okay? Had he unknowingly been reduced to the level of an uncle...?
Seeing everyone around him struggling to suppress their laughter, he suddenly wanted to hit someone.
......
......
The Eternal Night Empress, after her initial感慨, did not speak again, simply watching Xiana's handling of the situation alongside Roger.
Although she was a tragic girl, she ultimately achieved a satisfactory ending under Xiana's skillful handling. She said with considerable satisfaction:
"You are still very good at taking care of children~" Recalling how the little angel used to fool around in her early years, contrasting it with her current near-perfect performance as a pillar of strength for a faction, the Eternal Night Empress asked herself if she could have done any better had she come in person.
It was like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. At this moment, Xiana was dressed incredibly roughly, but the radiance emanating from her heart was so dazzling.
Her growth was undoubtedly due to Roger, this 'benevolent father,' who had been guiding Xiana all along, ultimately delivering a surprisingly pleasing answer.
"This wave, ah, can only be said to be genuine heart for genuine heart. I never initially thought she could grow to this extent."
Roger maintained a humble posture of feigned modesty. He didn't know how Xiana had undergone such a big change, nor did he dare to ask.
He did indeed make some important pushes to Xiana's life trajectory at critical moments.
But the most crucial transformation should have been the memories given by Nalinair and this experience in the Target B plane. Roger also expressed considerable surprise at this enormous change...
It was probably the responsibility on her shoulders that made Xiana stop being frivolous and start helping others in a down-to-earth manner, wanting to change the suffering of those people.
"It's time to go back. This trip has been quite fruitful, validating the feasibility of the God-Occupied Zone base."
The Eternal Night Empress somewhat regretted not being able to personally participate in the Tianming Army's upcoming battles, summarizing as she thought, "Even more surprising is Xiana's change. It seems I don't have to worry about the education of the Empire's heir in the future."
"Does the heir here refer to Your Majesty's princesses and princes?"
"Or what else? Go adopt one from the Elven Empire?"
"Then this matter... I can indeed share the burden!"
"Hey... which kind of sharing are you thinking about?"
The Eternal Night Empress was only thinking about the future education of her children based on Xiana's growth.
But suddenly, she received a large number of images from Roger's mind that websites wouldn't allow to be written, and her fair face immediately turned red.
It was clearly just a serious discussion; why did this guy suddenly start driving?
Asking you to teach children doesn't mean I want to have children with you.
But Roger misunderstood.
Men and women focus on different things.
A woman thinks you're reliable and might make a good teacher, but a man will think this is hinting that we should take the next step.
She's getting anxious, she's getting anxious, that's what Roger felt at this moment.
After all, you have to have children first to demonstrate my educational level, right?
He was already very restrained. Some people only need to glance at each other and have already thought of the child's name.
Calculating the time spent in this state, it had already been several years.
Although he wasn't in a hurry and even enjoyed this freedom a little, women would definitely have more emotional needs, right?
Maybe it was time to make some attempts to change.
He suddenly realized that maybe he should give some response. The more joking and casual the tone, the more serious the matter being said, right?
So, he didn't move on to the next topic like before to avoid the awkwardness of unrequited love but instead explained with a straight face:
"Of course, I can share the burden in every aspect. I always worry about what Your Majesty worries about. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
The lines were serious, but the emphasis was on "every aspect." Even a steel-straight woman could sense the teasing.
Moreover, the Eternal Night Empress could hear Roger's inner voice.
In just a moment, his thinking had jumped from a static P-site to a dynamic P-site... Wasn't it clear what this man meant?
She couldn't help but raise her hand to hit his head, scolding, "How dare you!"
As a result, Roger stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and whispered with a smile, "Your Majesty, please watch your words and actions. You are now my adjutant. How can you attack your superior?"
"Hmph, who knows?" The Eternal Night Empress raised her hand and released magic to conceal the two of them, hitting his dog head with her other hand.
But this concealed environment that cut off information also gave Roger an opportunity, and he outrageously grabbed both of her hands.
Unknowingly, the system's continuous accumulation of defenses over the years naturally brought about an increase in strength and physique, coupled with the all-round growth brought by the Devour Card. In terms of physical fitness alone, Roger had surpassed the Eternal Night Empress, the strongest mage.
Although she was a mage who was also very violent in close combat, without the unfathomable magic power like the deep sea, how could she possibly suppress the current Roger at such a close distance?
"So, no one knows what I'm doing now, right?" Roger pinned her wrists, feeling nervous in his heart, but trying to appear calm and composed, facing those angry, shy, helpless, and inexplicably fearful azure eyes.
She was angry, but she didn't directly unleash a meteor shower, indicating that his judgment was not wrong.
He, indeed, held a different position in her heart.
The Eternal Night Empress thought she was at the ninth stage of Biao-power, but it was all just a facade.
She had had many physical contacts before, but they were all 'teasing' under her control, ready to withdraw at any time.
But now, Roger suddenly boldly took action, actively suppressing her and getting closer, and she unexpectedly panicked. This time and place were not suitable for unleashing magic with excessive fluctuations to force him away, so she whispered:
"Bastard, let me go! You are becoming more and more unruly!"
"It's Your Majesty who is saying one thing and meaning another. You talk about rules every day, but you can't give birth to rules."
"Who wants to have children with you? I just said you are qualified to be hired as a royal teacher..."
"Is that really all?"
"You... what qualifications do you have to ask me if it's true or false? Let go of me quickly! Do you really think I won't attack you?"
The meaning of this threat was very obvious, but paired with her completely red face, it only seemed guilty.
What were her true thoughts in her heart? Did she still need to ask?
"Since Your Majesty won't say it, I can only boldly verify it myself."
He held the Eternal Night Empress's wrists together in one hand, put his other hand around her waist, and looked at her suddenly widening eyes and stiff body, couldn't help but chuckle softly, and lowered his head.
Chapter 248: How Are You So Skilled?
Outside the magic barrier.
After Sanya left, Xiana chatted with Hard and others for a while before extricating herself from the crowd.
But after coming out, she couldn't find Roger's figure. Even the adjutant who had made a good impression before had disappeared. The faint smile that had been maintained on her face suddenly disappeared.
"What's with that? How can he leave without saying goodbye, just leaving like that? He's really heartless!"
She thought Roger had left suddenly due to an urgent mission. Although she complained, she still understood his current position. Many times, he had no choice.
He remembered to come here to visit her and brought the tactical and material support that the Tianming Army urgently needed. In fact, the little angel was already very gratified.
At least he didn't leave her in another world and not care about her. He still remembered to come and see her, comfort her mood, and provide some help...
Although his attitude was terrible and he wanted her to call him Daddy, hmph!
Once she had dealt with the Church's encirclement and suppression, she would definitely squeeze him hard and make him call her Mommy!
The well-behavedness that Xiana had shown before was only because the Tianming Army was weak.
As long as the troubles of the base were resolved, who would give that guy face?
This girl must always be on top!
As for knowing that Roger was so busy, so busy that he didn't even have time to say goodbye, he definitely didn't have time to flirt around, right?
Xiana's mood was inexplicably lost and expectant, and she began to arrange the base's defenses according to the tactics that the Eternal Night Empress had previously mentioned.
When I build a beautiful world and bring light to this world, even that bastard will think highly of me, right?
......
......
Inside the magic barrier.
A certain LSP who misunderstood and rarely carried out an adventurous forced march was now feeling happy about winning by a narrow margin.
Instead of being washed in the face by a meteor shower, the woman in his arms, who was high above, went from stiff to soft in the friction and collision of lips and teeth, and the resisting movements became more and more feeble.
He knew he had won the bet.
Although late, our classmate Roger finally broke through his long-standing self-imposed limitations at the wrong time.
Building an empire together, resisting the gods, and knowing each other and guarding each other, cultivated not only friendship, but also early feelings that had quietly sprouted.
He suddenly stopped and leaned back slightly.
The Eternal Night Empress opened her eyes, completely confused by Roger's unconventional 'verification' method, unaware of where she was or what she was doing before, her eyes filled with confusion and urging.
"So, when exactly will Your Majesty take action?" Roger asked slowly, full of teasing.
She finally remembered that she had threatened him before, and said with some gnashing of teeth, "Shameless tricks! You are not a gentleman at all!"
"That's because Your Majesty doesn't understand gentlemen."
