The All-Powerful Maid Lina

Ye Wei'an had Lina finish off the prisoners today, precisely for this purpose.

Although last-hitting doesn't grant much experience, even just 1 point of experience is enough for an average person to unlock a profession level.

【亚历山德丽娜·莎芭丝缇安，人类，Lv.1平民(3/0)，力量12、敏捷9、体质11、智力12、感知10、魅力13】

Lina's attribute with more than 13 points is Charisma, and she can choose from four professions: Bard, Paladin, Warlock, and Spellcaster.

Considering Lina's primary job and the lack of medical care in the military, Ye Wei'an chose a bard for her.

A level 1 bard can choose 2 tricks, 4 first-level spells, be proficient in all three skills, and gain the ability to inspire others.

The magician Ye Wei'an chose "Hateful Words" and "Magic Tricks" for her.

The former can cause psychological harm to others through words—that's true verbal abuse.

The latter would make her job more convenient.

For the first-level spells, Ye Wei'an chose [Heroic Spirit], [Tasha's Laughter], [Healing Mantra], and [Invisible Servant].

[Heroic Spirit]: You touch a willing creature to fill it with courage and gain temporary health.

【Tasha's Laughter】: The target will laugh uncontrollably, unable to get up or move.

【Healing Mantra】: You designate a visible creature within casting range and restore its health.

【Invisible Servant】: Creates an invisible, mindless, and amorphous servant that can be commanded to perform simple tasks.

Next is race. The [Human] race provides +1 to two attributes and an origin feat.

Ye Wei'an chose Charisma and Strength +1, and selected Familiarity as his Origin Specialty.

[Proficiency]: You have gained proficiency in a total of three self-selected skills and tools.

Ye Wei'an positioned Lina as head maid and personal secretary, a position that indeed required her to master a variety of skills.

Lina's background is that of a Lesserman.

This background allows you to choose one of Strength, Constitution, and Charisma to gain +1 and another to gain +2, and also grants the Perk of Robustness.

[Robust]: You gain bonus health based on your level.

Ye Wei'an chose Charm +2 and Strength +1.

After completing her career selection, Lina's character panel has changed to:

Name: Alexandrina Sabassian

[Level]: LV.1 (3/300)

Race: Human

[Occupation]: Bard

[Background]: The Lessermans

【属性】：力量14、敏捷9、体质11、智力12、感知10、魅力16

[Specialty]: Familiarity, physical strength

[Spells]: 0-Ring Tricks - Harsh Words, Magical Tricks

1st Ring Spells (2/2) - Heroism, Tasha's Laughter, Healing Word, Invisible Servant

Lina stood quietly for a while, as if digesting the overwhelming stream of information surging into her mind.

That feeling was extremely mysterious.

She suddenly discovered that she could sense the omnipresent magic network and use its power in her own way.

She learned how to hurt others with sneers and harsh words;

With a wave of her handkerchief, she easily removed the dirt;

She can encourage others with simple words, and she can also make someone laugh so hard they can't stand up straight with a joke she tells them.

She can achieve a healing effect with simple bandages.

She can even control her position with her mind to perform the duties of a maid.

But that wasn't what shocked her the most.

As a maid, Lina already possessed a wide variety of skills.

But now, she finds that the skills she has mastered have somehow improved.

The miscellaneous knowledge she accumulated in her daily work to maintain the cleanliness of the mansion unexpectedly led her to master [Basic Engineering] without any formal instruction;

The ability to read between the lines while serving one's master is advanced to the level of [Psychology].

As a noblewoman, her understanding of noble lineage has now transformed into heraldry and aristocratic etiquette.

The art of tea brewing, which was originally practiced simply to please one's master, has evolved into the "tea ceremony" (茶道).

Those rudimentary methods of bandaging wounds and caring for patients have been transformed into "medicine";

The techniques for using herbs and preventing poisoning have become known as toxicology.

……

Aside from her cooking skills, all of her maid skills have room for improvement.

"Something's not right..." Lina looked at Ye Weian suspiciously, sensing the professional knowledge in her mind that could only be acquired through decades of immersion.

If strengthening the body or bestowing magic power still falls within the realm of "miracles," then this kind of instantaneous, cramming of a vast knowledge base is practically reshaping a person's soul.

It's not some simple "enhancement magic" at all; it's more like the authority of some kind of... "creator".

She hesitated, looking at Ye Wei'an's calm demeanor, and ultimately wisely swallowed her questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and the secrets her master carried were far beyond her imagination.

Since he chose to share this power with me, it was a trust that transcended life itself.

"It seems that the master's requirements for the maids are much higher than I imagined."

Thinking about this new knowledge, Lina seemed to understand something.

"Since this is Master's expectation," Lina said, lifting a towel and giving Ye Wei'an a perfect curtsy that even the court etiquette officials couldn't find fault with. "Then Alexandra Lina will do her best to become the perfect maid in your heart."

Ellen, standing to the side, stared in disbelief.

Although Lina is still the same Lina, the aura she exudes in every gesture is completely different now.

Ye Wei'an looked at the transformed Lina, his eyes revealing undisguised admiration.

He took Lina's fair hand and pushed the [Mind Focus Ring] between her fingers.

"This was originally intended for spellcasters," Ye Wei'an said, helping Lina adjust the resonance with the ring. "Now that you've awakened the bard's talent, it can only reach its full potential in your hands."

"Yes, my master."

-----------------

Early the next morning, the sound of armor clashing could be heard throughout the camp.

Ye Wei'an started filtering candidates in the system interface as soon as he got up.

Ultimately, he selected forty soldiers who had performed the most bravely and gained the most experience points in yesterday's battle.

Then he ordered all the warhorses in the camp to be gathered together, and together with the horses captured from the Santalin Society, he managed to gather just over forty horses.

In this way, every member of the raiding party had a horse, ensuring their mobility.

The remaining packhorses were left to Volodya.

He will lead the remaining soldiers to escort the captured supplies back to Firefall Fortress.

Before setting off, forty heavily armored cavalrymen lined up in formation on the drill ground.

Ye Wei'an mounted his horse, and the [Proof of Leadership] skill, combined with his 19 points of charisma, made him appear extremely majestic.

He looked around, and his voice, aided by magic, reached everyone's ears:

"Look at the golden lions in your arms, feel the new armor on your bodies! These are not my rewards, but the harvest you earned with your blood yesterday! And today, deep in that forest, even more spoils await us!"

Ye Wei'an suddenly drew his longsword and pointed it diagonally at the sky.

"But we do all this not just for wealth, but for glory! Every second that the Zantariim's lackeys linger here, this place rots a little more. What we must do is eliminate this threat to our territory, completely eradicating those bloodsucking parasites! For the glory of Firefall Territory!"

"For the glory of Firefall Territory!"

"Everyone, mount up! Let's go!"

At Ye Wei'an's command, more than forty riders left the camp and entered the forest.

Immediately afterwards, the horse-drawn caravans carrying goods also left one after another.

Before leaving, Volodya lit a fire, burning the camp to the ground.
