Volume 1: The Poem of Departure Chapter 54: Disputes in the Camp
On the same day, in the afternoon.
"Miss Satya! Miss Satya!
Kieran beckoned to Satya.
The students finished the day in the morning, and the afternoon was left for them to play freely. The two teachers, who had wanted the students to walk around, were uncharacteristically forbidden to leave the camp too far – and the students knew why.
After all, last night's battle left a deep enough impression not only on the teachers, but also on them.
There was nothing interesting in the camp, although it was built large enough at the time, but after a dozen tents were set up, there was indeed not much room left. A dozen students gathered in groups and threes on the grass outside the camp, and Kieran's call also attracted a lot of attention - there was a small stir when Satya came to the camp yesterday afternoon, after all, no one could have imagined that a young assassin about their age could travel such a long distance from Adu to Randmund to go to school, and Satya was indeed beautiful......
That's part of the (real) reason.
Most of the men in this small team of more than a dozen people were men, half of them were Terrans and half of them were elves, and the elven boys were simply amazed by Satya's perseverance, while the Terran boys thought a little more. Seeing Satya coming over, the boys who were still talking and laughing subconsciously lowered their voices, and where Satya's eyes swept over, they all subconsciously showed what they thought were charming smiles.
After the Second Pan-Continental War, as the traditional political aristocracy gradually withdrew from the stage of history, the influence of status and family on marriage was gradually weakened, and the new aristocrats who got rich in business and some enlightened old aristocrats threw away the cumbersome old rules and began to allow their descendants to fall in love freely, allowing the original common people to join the aristocratic family, and this has been proved by time to be an absolutely correct choice- Many genetic diseases that have plagued families for thousands of years have gradually disappeared with intermarriage in one or two hundred years, and their offspring have become stronger, the success rate in all aspects has become higher and higher, and the family has become stronger. By now, the right of young people to love freely has been protected by the laws of various countries, and the news that a commoner with no family has married into a noble family or married a noble lady has lost its newsworthiness.
Of course, for these aristocratic teenagers, the other party's family is still an important reference condition for choosing a spouse - but getting an admission letter from Reims Academy is enough to prove a person's identity as a genius, and genius is definitely a more important thing than family, and a girl who is both a genius and beautiful enough will naturally become the object of pursuit for these young people.
But Satya didn't bother to talk to them.
The elven girl Alania planted a small garden beside her. She is the only elven girl here, and she is still a little estranged from the others, but she also likes to be quiet, sitting alone among the flowers and reading a book.
Satya came to her side, carefully bypassed each flower, and sat down beside her.
"Hello, Miss Satya. ”
"Hello, Miss Alania. May the will of the forest always bless you. ”
"I didn't expect to hear this blessing here...... Thank you. ”
Everyone here has been educated in aristocratic etiquette for more than ten hours a week, and Satya is no exception, and the two naturally know how to make chatting enjoyable. Alania thought that Satya was avoiding the overly attentive boys, but she didn't break it, and naturally talked about what girls of her age liked to talk about—but she was still a little surprised.
Because the other party seemed to know the history and customs of the elves very well, she didn't even have to deliberately look for topics, and Satya could always pick up every word she said naturally.
"Nearly half of the students here do not have a formal primary and secondary education, including myself," says Alania, "but some people think that private teachers are more conducive to developing talents than school teaching, but my teacher, Mr. Lizarander, said that school education is more important for us to realize the value of being a 'student'." I think that's why I'm going to take this preparatory class, because I may not be able to adapt well to school life. ”
"But for a forest priest, it is better to educate on home, even the best aristocratic middle school in Slan Park, where the knowledge of the forest priesthood is no better than that of the Wood Whisperer family. Satya thought for a moment, "However, your teacher is actually Mr. Lizarand, who is a tenured professor at the Federal University, a forest priest, and a very likely advanced Sage—I thought he would persuade you to enter the Federal University." ”
A slight hint of surprise flashed across Alania's expression, but it was quickly masked, as she explained: "My parents originally wanted me to attend the Federal University, but Mr. Lizarand said that the quality of teaching at Reims College was not inferior there, and at Reims College, I could learn more things that federal universities could not learn. Eventually, my parents chose to respect Mr. Lizarand's opinion, and I loved the place in Landmont. But, Miss Satya, I am amazed at the wealth of your learning, and not all of our students, even my elven kindred, know of Mr. Lizarand. You must have come from an aristocratic family with a long heritage. ”
"I didn't come from a noble background, but I just happened to read a lot. Satya explained, but Alania saw it as modesty.
When both parties are well-educated and have something to talk about, the process of chatting is very pleasant, and as the two talk and talk, the conversation involuntarily turns to what happened last night.
"There was a fight here last night?" exclaimed Satya, "no one was hurt, was there?"
"No, the intruder was repelled by the teachers. "But the intruder seemed to be chasing a man here, but as soon as the battle was over the man disappeared." The teachers were angry last night. ”
"That's a terrible guy. Actually brought trouble here. Satya echoed with hatred.
"But no one cares about him anymore. There seems to be a difference of opinion among the teachers, with Mr. Leolante wanting to lead the team out of here, while Mr. Kieran disagrees, and they have a fight...... It's so weird, the two teachers have always had a good relationship. Alania said with some confusion, "But I want to stay." If something really goes wrong here, the real nobles will never walk away. ”
"Teachers are all about the good of the students. Intruders are, after all, a threat to the safety of students. It's still dangerous to stay here. ”
Satya said this, but she was a little surprised in her heart.
Didn't the two teachers know what was going on, and that Mr. Lance didn't give them any specific information?
"But the boys think they're the ones who fought off the invaders," Alania gestured helplessly to the boys in the distance, "they're excited to take on the mystery man right now—I don't even know what they're thinking." ”
"Hehe......" Satya could only hehe.
"By the way, Miss Satya, you should have arrived before we did," Alania suddenly remembered something, and asked, "May I ask you something?"
"Excuse me. Satya was stunned and subconsciously replied.
"Have you ever seen a necromancer? a human boy about our age who also has an offer of admission to Reims Academy. Alania described, "He seems to be a mercenary too, have you seen him in town?"
"No, I haven't heard of it at all. Satya shook her head decisively, "Teenage necromancers, that's really rare. ”
"yes, I think too. Alania nodded in disappointment.
It couldn't have been him last night, how could he provoke such a terrifying monster?" Alania thought silently in her heart.
In the camp.
"We have to get out of here, Kieran, last night's events were completely beyond our expectations," Leolante said with a serious face, "whatever that thing is, he's definitely far superior to us." And it's an unknown life form, and we must report it to the council chamber before he can wreak havoc!"
"But there's a town dweller here, and these kids!" Kieran looked agitated, "Leolante, you're a shaman, I'm a knight, we're not good at long-distance travel, and Randmont City is not less than a hundred kilometers away from here, and it's going to take us a whole day back and forth as fast as we can - if that thing reappears at night, who can deal with him?
"But we can choose to stay out of here!" Leolante explained bitterly, "You take the students somewhere else, and I'll notify the council chamber and send someone to deal with it - this incident is really beyond our ability, we can't afford to do it!"
"It's not that stubborn, Riolante, it's that we can't leave!" Kieran gritted his teeth in hatred, "If that thing does reappear at night, we'll undoubtedly be his number one target - remember, that thing has been staring at you since you cast your spell last night, and I have reason to believe that it will target the most threatening people within range." And if we had prepared in advance, we could have barely fended off him, and the students wouldn't be in danger - but what if we left? How do you make sure that he won't hurt the townspeople after losing his target? The most powerful in the town is only the Bronze, how can they resist that?"
"But you and I both know, Kieran, it didn't play at its full strength last night. Riolante's eyes were filled with deep concern, "Tonight, will he keep his hand?"
"I don't know,"
Kieran shook his head.
"But I choose to believe Mr. Lance. He must have been prepared and wouldn't let us die easily. ”
"Hope...... So. ”
Riolant sighed deeply.
