Watching Qin Jie turn to leave, Elena remained rooted to the spot.
The terrifying Killing Intent emanating from Qin Jie had so intimidated her that she froze in place, her body trembling incessantly.
No, she absolutely had to go to the front lines!
Elena had a compelling reason to go to the front lines, a reason that concerned her very life.
That officer named Figlet wouldn't pay any attention to a common girl like her, the average Taxi Soldier was unreliable, and Qin Jie was the only one capable of taking Elena to the front lines.
At this moment, Elena had firmly decided on Qin Jie.
Looking at Qin Jie's retreating back, she found an unknown source of courage and suddenly shouted, "Mr. Shou! Please wait!"
You are currently being watched by the Maiden of Prayer.
Hearing this shout, a trace of Killing Intent surged in Qin Jie's heart; although the other party didn't mean it, this repeated behavior was truly making Qin Jie impatient.
Qin Jie turned around, intending to say something, but then saw a dagger suddenly appear in Elena's hand; the sharp dagger gleamed in the sunlight, and Elena, right in front of Qin Jie, brutally slashed the dagger across her arm!
Blood gushed out!
The intense pain made Elena's body tremble, and her plain white dress was stained with blood, like blooming crimson roses.
The severe pain made the girl start to shed many tears, but she still managed to form a praying posture with her trembling hands.
The bleeding wound began to heal slowly.
The surroundings were silent, with only Elena's tearful voice echoing.
"Mr. Shou, look, I have healing abilities, please, please take me to the front lines, I won't be a burden."
You are currently being watched by the Maiden of Prayer.
Qin Jie looked at the girl whose face was gradually losing color; she had used a lot of force just now, and the blood loss was immense, so even with her best efforts to heal, she couldn't close the wound immediately.
The excessive blood loss made her unable to even maintain the praying posture; her body trembled, and her hands could barely come together.
If she stopped healing, she would quickly bleed to death.
This is truly insane.

At this moment, Qin Jie naturally had no reason to refuse; a packet of medicinal powder suddenly appeared in his hand; after opening it, Qin Jie stepped forward and directly applied the powder to the girl's wound.
This was a hemostatic medicine, made by Qin Jie himself, very effective for stopping bleeding, and also containing parts of Sakura Dragonwood, which had healing effects.
"Ouch, it hurts so much."
The medicinal powder caused an intense stinging sensation instantly, stimulating Elena's tears to flow out again, but then a cool sensation spread, and her arm stopped bleeding and began to gradually heal.
Qin Jie frowned and said, "I'll give you an hour, then meet here, and I'll take you to the front lines."
Hearing this, Elena immediately stopped crying, then her face lit up with joy, "Thank you, Mr. Shou."
"If you have anything to prepare, do it quickly, you only have an hour."
Qin Jie said indifferently.
"Okay!" Elena hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Don't forget to continue healing; I only provided hemostasis for the wound on your arm, subsequent healing still depends on you, otherwise it will leave a scar."
Qin Jie reminded her.
Elena's body trembled, then she quickly clasped her hands together again, assuming a prayer posture, and then scurried away.
Watching her figure disappear, Qin Jie shook his head.
Although her determination to go to the front lines was bizarre, he had no interest in finding out why, as there were many things to do in this world.
Trial quests, main quests, and even hunting quests—he was busy.
Qin Jie sighed.
Before departure, Qin Jie explained the situation to Figlet, requesting to bring Elena along.
Although Figlet looked at Qin Jie with some strangeness in his eyes, he did not refuse Qin Jie's request.
Subsequently, the Xiongxin Knights set off.
The journey required traversing mountains, so it was somewhat bumpy along the way.
Qin Jie and Elena sat inside the carriage, where there were only the two of them, along with some bread, cured meat, wine, and hay.
Elena held a medium-sized bundle in her arms, which contained all her belongings; she peered out of the carriage window, watching her hometown gradually shrink to a dot.
"This is my first time being so far from home."
Elena sighed.
Qin Jie was resting with his eyes closed beside her; hearing the girl's sigh, he said nothing, as if he were asleep.
Seeing Qin Jie's indifferent attitude, Elena pouted, then indignantly threw a few punches at Qin Jie in the air.
Within the Kingdom of Midland.
Inside a ballroom for upper-class social gatherings.
Within the magnificent ballroom, melodious music flowed like a clear spring; this was a social venue for nobles, and even the King of Midlandwas invited to attend.
This was originally a normal social event, but due to the participation of a Contractor, some changes occurred.
In a corner, a man in armor, holding a wine glass, drank it in one gulp, then asked a girl in an evening gown beside him.
"Mo Yu, what's the progress?"
The girl named Mo Yu had her eyes tightly closed, a smile on her face, "It's done, I've completely controlled the King of Midland; the process was even easier than I thought, he actually had no resistance to hypnosis."
Mo Yu's ability was mental manipulation, which allowed her to remotely control the King of Midland.
Clearly, none of the nobles present had realized that the control of the kingdom had already changed hands.
The man in armor was named Haller, the leader of a small adventure group; in this world, a total of thirteen people from their adventure group had come, and all had already been deployed within the Kingdom of Midland.
At this point, they had seized the King of Midland, a significant chess piece; next, they only needed to make the King of Midland make decisions that would benefit them in acquiring the World Source, and they would reap great benefits in this world.
"Next, have him summon Walde; that guy is an apostle, and his strength is relatively average, so we can first have the kingdom's soldiers sacrifice themselves to wear him down, then we'll team up to take him down; that should yield a lot of rewards."
"As for the main characters, it's best not to touch Guts and Griffith; I'm afraid if Griffith is pushed too hard, he might directly initiate the Eclipse, and then we'll all be finished."
"We can try to kill everyone else; that should also provide a good amount of World Source."
