Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 149 Constance's Training

In this messy negotiation, Ron finally reached an agreement with the other party: he would write a letter to "suggest" Karad to withdraw his troops, because the earth elves were indeed not his subordinates; and Carolina must release a thousand slaves, and after restoring them to free men, Karad would escort them to the delusion land, and Ron would ensure that they "would not be threatened by Carolina again."

In addition, Carolina must pay Ron some food supplies and 120,000 gold coins for various losses - including the repair of the trading post and surrounding villages, compensation for casualties, and the cost of various magical materials used.

Sera's ring is worth a lot of money.

In the end, Ron showed some hospitality by allowing the Carolinas to camp outside, saying that he had experienced assassinations by them and therefore did not trust them.

Although the middle-aged envoy protested strongly, he had to find a place to rest outside the trading post. And it turned out that Ron's worries were not unfounded.

……

When Ron walked to the back of the trading post, he found that the mountain had been expanded again by Anne during this period of time, and a training ground had been opened up for daily training.

This plan already existed, but when those young people from the Rose City came here, the construction priority here was temporarily advanced at Seymour's suggestion.

Sending these young men who only know a little bit of street fighting to the land of delusion is simply murder. Even the drow would not be so cruel.

"Ron! Come this way!"

Ivy and Sera are at the training grounds, trying to help Constance re-select some equipment more suitable for living in delusion.

"A swift sword with a dagger? That's absolutely not okay!" Ivy argued loudly with Constance, "Who do you think you are? A thief? Or a sword master?!"

"Unless you plan to stay in the territory forever, I will never allow you to use such ridiculous things!"

"You should at least be equipped with a small round shield and a set of chain mail, so that you can have basic security!"

Sera's view is slightly different from Ivy's: "Although you may be a little older than me, I have much more experience than you."

"This little gadget simply can't withstand long journeys and various battles in the wild. If you really want to dual-wield, I recommend you choose this pair of battle axes."

"Or would you be interested in those huge and heavy weapons?"

"I don't like that," Constance said a little aggrievedly, "I can't wield such a heavy weapon like you."

"Can't you just trust me? I've been training with the Swift Sword for almost ten years, and I—"

"Have you ever had the experience of sparring with a personal trainer indoors?" Ivy sighed. "Out in the wild, even an enemy with only one breath left may launch a fatal attack on you. No one will tell you when to stop, and no one will score you or judge whether your moves are fouls. You have to throw away most of what you have learned and adapt to this environment again!"

"So I have to wear a tortoise shell like you?" Constance said with some disgust, "I absolutely, absolutely don't want to become like that. Besides, I don't have that kind of physical strength!"

"Well, maybe you could consider casting a spell?" Ron looked at her, "so you don't have to..."

"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of talent," Constance shook her head. "Maybe I can be a longbowman like my aunt?" As she spoke, the half-elf took a longbow from the shelf and shot three arrows at the target from a distance of 150 meters.

Although no arrow hit the bull's eye, at least no arrow missed the target.

"If we only look at the results, it's acceptable." Driver, who was pretending to train newcomers in the training ground, came over to take a look. "But this is indoors without wind. Can you guarantee the same accuracy in the wild?"

As he spoke, the goblin took out his shortbow to demonstrate. The shortbow was not as good as the longbow, so he stood about seventy or eighty meters away from the target and also shot three arrows in a row.

"Bullseye... all of them are bullseye!" Carlos came over to watch the fun. It didn't matter what he saw, he was completely dumbfounded, "A few more times! A few more times!"

Driver, who was easily carried away by success, naturally would not refuse such an opportunity to show off. Not only did he shoot several arrows in a row, but he even performed various tricks to demonstrate various situations that might be encountered in the adventure.

Although the accuracy of the subsequent shots was not ideal, considering his postures that made Ron feel incredible, this result was acceptable.

"I think I'd better give up on this," Constance sighed. "I really don't understand why you two won't let me use the weapon I'm best at."

"Because your so-called expertise is not something you can really apply flexibly," Victoria and Sylvia were also resting here at this time, "Also, you should know that your physical fitness is not as good as your cousin and Sera. This combination of weapons makes your safety unsafe."

"I can dodge and I can block. Is there anything wrong with that?" Constance picked up the swift sword on the ground and performed a few moves.

I have to say, her appearance combined with her performance was really quite convincing - if Ron had not seen Sera and the others fighting.

"How about this, sister," Sylvia swung the cane that she had loved since it came into her possession, "Their fighting style doesn't quite match yours, how about I test your abilities?"

"It just so happens that I also have some skills in this area."

"Well, if I remember correctly, you should be a wizard, right?" Constance raised her eyebrows.

"Carolina treats slaves without caring whether you are a magician or not," Sylvia smiled and took a stance with her cane as a sword. "I am almost the lowest class, just a passing level."

"After all, in Carolina, those who are not qualified basically cannot survive."

"Do you want me to change to a training sword?" Constance couldn't help but look down on Sylvia after hearing her say that, so she immediately suggested.

"Just take the normal pair, miss!" Seymour laughed faintly, "otherwise I'm afraid you'll cry in a while."

"Don't talk nonsense, Seymour. Am I the kind of person who bullies newbies?" Sylvia glared at him. "I'm very measured when I do this."

"Yes, yes, yes." Seymour stopped talking and continued to follow Driver to train the newcomers from Rose City. "You are the most sensible one."
