Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

Vikalina initially thought that her method of helping people this time was wrong, but she didn't believe she would fail the next time.

But...

As a young girl,

She couldn't remain indifferent to the sincere curses of those she had tried to help.

However, even without Sivis's comfort, Vikalina could stand up again.

This was the kind of spirit that the young prodigy, who would one day shake the entire Gandanyir, should have.

But what Sivis said...

Was too exaggerated.

He wasn't just talking about whether or not to do good deeds, his perspective was on the entire continent, on the centuries to come.

And from this vast and complex knowledge, he distilled it into smaller, more practical knowledge—

How to increase crop yields, how to build better houses.

By combining these small and large pieces of knowledge, Sivis arrived at his conclusions.

How should one do good?

How could the affected civilians be helped to regain their spirits?

All of this is considered basic knowledge for Sivis, because before he came to this world, he had spent over a decade in school and had watched countless educational short videos.

The combination of modern world's formal education and the explosion of information.

Was something a medieval female knight could never even imagine.

Vikalina was completely stunned!

She felt as if she were a devout believer kneeling in a church, listening to the divine words of a deity!

Right now, she realized how ridiculous her former thoughts were.

She had thought Sivis wasn't as kind as she was, unwilling to help ordinary people.

She believed that everything he did was just to make money for himself, helping others as an afterthought.

But she was entirely wrong.

The world Sivis saw was fundamentally different from what she saw. He made his perfect choices with a comprehensive understanding of everything.

In comparison, her so-called kindness seemed extremely ridiculous.

Before understanding this knowledge, Vikalina thought Sivis had mastered pure holy light simply because he was kind enough.

But after being educated, she felt...

That the holy light was merely an adornment to the boundless radiance Sivis possessed!

Vikalina was thoroughly convinced.

She tried to ask about some of the things she had seen in the Church.

"Many people in the Church only follow the doctrines in words, not in actions. How can these people be changed?" Vikalina asked.

"Their existence is inevitable." Sivis said calmly. "Because as any organization develops over time, it cannot rely solely on its original grand ideals to sustain itself. Corruption is unavoidable, and can only be managed through well-designed systems and effective oversight."

The female knight was taken aback. She had only intended to vent her most unsolvable dilemma, but she didn't expect Sivis to actually give her an answer. This answer, however, was still quite profound, making it hard for her to grasp.

"My teacher once said that saving all the people on the continent is impossible."

"I don't accept that answer. Is what my teacher said really true..." Vikalina spoke again.

"Currently, it is indeed impossible." Sivis responded.

"But don't you see? I earn more than those unscrupulous factory owners—because I have the formulas for soap and glass, which bring in huge profits."

"If it's not just soap and glass, and if someone can develop techniques to increase crop yields, wouldn't that mean more common people could have enough to eat?"

"Given the current state of the continent, even if the Church were entirely free of corruption and actively helped, it would still be impossible to feed everyone."

"On the other hand, with higher-yielding crops, even if some people are corrupt, more common people could still survive."

As he spoke, Sivis felt a surge of enthusiasm, as if not just responding to Vikalina, but also... organizing the knowledge from his past life, thinking about how to change this world!

Sivis tilted his head slightly upward, no longer fully focused on the female knight.

It was as if he was speaking to himself.

"How could that be possible?" Vikalina's tone was filled with disbelief.

In her education, the yields of various crops could only be slightly improved through hard work.

"Possible." Sivis smiled slightly. "In my territory, almost all crops can achieve three harvests a year."

"My territory is nearby, and it's not some naturally fertile land."

Three harvests a year?

It wasn't that...

Sivis not only knew how to solve the problems that plagued him but had already come up with solutions.

For some reason, Vikalina's initial, almost accusatory questions gradually subsided, leaving only silence and a very humble desire to learn.

As they engaged in a back-and-forth, Vikalina felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment filling her heart.

Sivis wasn't the kind of person who confidently provided solutions for everything. Instead, he was very honest, admitting that for some things, he only had an idea or a method, and sometimes even those were hard to implement.

But it opened a new world for Vikalina.

Problems that her thousand-year-old mentor deemed unsolvable? They actually had the potential for improvement!

After a long while.

The female knight felt her mouth dry and her tongue parched.

She realized she had run out of questions.

Sivis had answered all of them, with great patience and gentleness.

Sivis also achieved what he wanted.

A few minutes ago, the female knight looked at him with respect, reverence, and the concern of a comrade.

Now...

When she looked at him,

It was like a believer gazing up at a deity!

This was truly someone who could change the world!

Vikalina's confusions were all answered by Sivis!

The female knight felt the warmth of being embraced, her heart at peace.

"So everything you do isn't for the money?" Vikalina's voice held a mix of surprise and tenderness.

She looked at Sivis's profile, noticing that his gaze, focused on her, was somewhat similar to the painting in the Holy City, The Arrival of the Saint — the man in the painting, bending down to touch the forehead of a sufferer, his eyes filled with gentle light.

Not blinding, but extremely radiant.

In the female knight's pupils, all she saw was Sivis's reflection, filled with admiration and reliance!

For Vikalina.

Sivis's actions today have rescued her from despair and self-doubt. The subtle atmosphere during their eye contact has further stirred the young knight's heart.

Combined with the various ideas Sivis shared about changing the world.

Vikalina now feels extremely ashamed of her earlier thoughts, of wanting to guide Sivis onto the right path. It seems utterly ridiculous to her now.

Instead, she now firmly believes...

The only person who can lead her to the beautiful world she seeks is right in front of her!

Vikalina feels the touch of Sivis's embrace, her face turning red, and her body feeling weak.

"Seems like my speech today completely swayed this female knight?"

"Even if I said now that we need to sleep together to change the world, Vikalina might believe it..."

Sivis watched the scene before him, his heart stirring slightly.

However...

He wasn't as excited as he initially imagined. After sharing his extensive thoughts on changing the world, Sivis suddenly realized something was off — he had always claimed he only wanted to be a Demon Lord who develops steadily, gains strength, and survives.

Why did he speak so effortlessly about these things? Was he content to hide in a corner and "just survive"? Had he planned his future path from the start?

This realization weighed heavily on his heart, and even though he noticed Vikalina's increasing affection, he found it hard to feel joy.

His coldness did not dampen the female knight's enthusiasm. Vikalina's cheeks were slightly flushed as she gently pushed him back half a step, regaining her composure. "T-That... Mr. Sivis..."

She looked at the young nobleman before her, suddenly recalling his earlier mention of hiring an "exclusive knight."

Over the past few days, she had deliberately avoided Sivis, asking the Church's priests about the meaning of an "exclusive knight" — in the current noble circles, the term had long deviated from its original meaning of "protector" and had become a euphemism for a "bed companion."

She had been conflicted: given Sivis's ability to control holy light, he shouldn't be so base, but she couldn't help but have some doubts. As a noble, how could Sivis not know the underlying meaning of "exclusive knight"?

It wasn't until today, after witnessing Sivis's profound thoughts, that she fully understood — a person with such a high moral and intellectual standing would never tarnish the sacred term "exclusive knight."

Sivis clearly wanted to work with her to change the world, which was why he wanted to hire her!

"Lord Sivis..." She silently elevated his title in her heart. "As the inheritor of the Church's 'Spear of Holy Flame,' I cannot yet agree to the matter of being an exclusive knight."

"I do not possess your wisdom, but I can only offer my strength to make up for it!"

"But once I advance to the rank of a Holy Knight, I will dedicate my life to your service!" The female knight's gaze was as sharp and resolute as a sword's edge.

Sivis might never have imagined that the Sacred Flame Spear, known throughout Gandanyir for her wisdom and strategic acumen, could be so humble.

He was lost in a spiral of self-doubt and didn't notice Vikalina's transformation, merely nodding lightly. "I know why you came today. You want to secure better treatment for the weak and sick among the commoners. I will see to it."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion. Sivis was leading Vikalina out when the dormitory door burst open, and several commoners stared at them, their faces instantly turning terrified and twisted.

"Thud."

"Thud."

They fell to their knees.

Others inside the room heard the noise and poked their heads out. First, they saw Sivis, and their faces changed abruptly, then, they caught sight of Vikalina, and they turned pale as paper, trembling all over!
