Chapter 60: Forging 3
"Dao... Douglas, what are you going to do? I'm the warden of the Sea Prison, and you... Do you know what happens if you hurt an Imperial official?" Cook, who was still arrogant before, immediately became like a pug wagging his tail and begging for mercy after seeing the fierce Douglas.
However, Douglas did not stop at Cook's threat, his large hand passed through the crusaders, grabbed Cook by the collar, and lifted him up.
"You bark endlessly, believe it or not, Lao Tzu sent you to God. Douglas thundered like a cannonball.
The biting coldness of Douglas's fist stuck like a steel nail into Cook's trachea, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Let go of me!Douglas!" Cook shouted in horror, "I came on orders from the royal family, do you want to be an enemy of the royal family?"
Hearing the words "royalty", Douglas frowned slightly.
Even if you don't care about the life or death of this guy, you have to be in awe of the royal Douglas. According to his previous instincts, "Tyrant" Douglas would definitely not care about this, just beating up a person, what is the fuss? But now, as the temporary leader of the Imperial Military Academy, he must take care of the overall situation.
"Douglas, take care of your temper. This was the most important thing Nolan said to Douglas before leaving.
Aware of Douglas's dilemma, Dodor cast a color on his teammates, motioning for them to keep an eye on the two Crusader soldiers to prevent them from making any small moves, and then hurried to Douglas's side.
"Forget it, vice president, it's not worth it for the sake of the academy. Duoduo whispered.
Douglas hesitated for a moment, watching Cook's face slowly turn red, and finally he exhaled heavily, then let go of his hand.
In less than a day, the feeling of being choked by two people in succession made Cook's nest to the extreme, as the warden of the highest prison in the imperial capital, he had never been so savagely threatened.
As a result, as soon as he recovered from the lack of oxygen, Cook's eyes were full of darkness and deceit, and a series of tortures that tortured the prisoner played out in his mind one after another.
"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and Lao Tzu will not worry about you first. Cook muttered to himself, but his mind was already beginning to calculate the most vicious means of revenge, and he pretended to be casual and patted the dust off his ass and stood up in a daze.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly, and get out of here after that. Douglas turned his back, not even glancing at Cook, looking at the imperial capital, except for the royal family, almost everyone knew about this man's shamelessness and indecency.
"Douglas, you can do it, you look down on me, I admit it, but do you dare to look down on the royal family?" Cook threatened.
As he spoke, Cook took out a letter with dark gold lines, and the pattern of "Wings of Freedom" covered the front of the letter, which was the symbol of "Imperial Secret Letter", which means that wherever the Wings of Liberty reach, the power of the Empire is endless.
"The Imperial Secret Letter commissioned by the Imperial Family to be drafted by Master Nizz, the Crusader Sergeant, Douglas, your face is not small, it seems that after Nolan left, you are very valued by the Royal Family, hehe. Cook smiled maliciously, quietly sowing discord was his forte.
"Niz, I don't know that guy well, what do you know about the royal family looking for me?"
"The Vice Chancellor's words are really strange, how do I know the contents of the 'Imperial Secret Letter'," Cook pushed away a crusader soldier and walked to Douglas's side, "Maybe it's for you to be the headmaster of the Imperial Military Academy?"
Douglas didn't speak, he slowly turned his head to Cook, and his eyes were once again heavily clouded.
"You listen to Lao Tzu! The name of the principal of the Imperial Military Academy will always be Nolan!" Douglas paused, "Unless Lao Tzu retires, no one wants to replace him, and he is not qualified to replace him!"
Cook took two or three steps back in a row before he stopped, Douglas's powerful aura made his heart stop beating temporarily, and for a moment he even felt that he had been executed, but the gray light flashed, and Cook had already walked away from the ghost gate.
Cook knows the prestige of the "tyrant" Douglas, and he also knows that Douglas pinching himself to death is as simple as pinching an ant to death, Cook's sense of prestige has disappeared without a trace at this moment, and under the crushing of absolute strength, all irrational actions are self-defeating.
"Mr. Cook, just give me the 'Imperial Secret Letter'. Dodor walked up to Cook, who was a little stunned.
"!" Cook snarled inwardly.
"Youβ" Dodor's hand immediately touched the sharp dagger at his waist.
"Well, you might as well leave it to me first. A voice came softly.
"Which oneβ" Cook was about to have a seizure, and when he turned his head, he froze.
With broken blond hair and a warm smile, the man turned out to be Max Garcia, the son of Lord Mani Garcia, the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Douglas, Cook can't be provoked, but he knows that Douglas, who is used to being alone, doesn't seem to have much power behind him, so he doesn't have to worry too much about retaliation with his back to the royal family. But Max is a figure he doesn't dare to provoke, not to mention his powerful father, just the man with the holy light behind Max is not something he can afford to provoke, the power of the Holy Church is all over the continent, and erasing him from this world is just a matter of words.
"Master Max, why are you here? Cook turned his anger into joy, and his face was full of smiles, and the complicated expression was really indescribable.
"You don't need to know about this secret, just give me the 'Imperial Secret Letter' that needs to be forwarded to Vice Principal Douglas for the time being. β
"Alright, alright, just do as you say. "Cook, somewhat flustered, handed over the 'Imperial Secret Letter' into Max's hands.
"By the way, there's one more thing," Max stopped after taking two steps.
"You say, you say. β
"There is no distinction between high and low in the academy, I am just Max, student Max, not a young master," the warm wind blew the ends of Max's hair, making him look heroic, "Also, since you come to the academy to do business, you should understand the difference between host and guest, and guests must understand the rules of guests, not every host is good-tempered." β
With that, Max ignored Cook's red and blue face and walked straight to Douglas.
Cook bowed his head deeply, the humiliation of the day had made him lose face, he clenched his fists and did not vent.
"Duoduo, tomorrow you and your teammates will not be on duty, go home to accompany your relatives. β
"Thank you, Vice Chancellor. Duoduo's face was full of joy, not only for him but also for the other members of the Special Squad Second Team.
Douglas walked briskly towards the entrance to the Armed Forces, and all the rest ignored Cook.
"You are all waiting for me one by one, there is still a long way to go. β
Cook's eyes clouded like a vulture, he kicked away one of the Crusaders beside him and left menacingly.
Outside the recuperation room on the second floor of the fighting dojo in the teaching area of Department B, a butterfly dances on the magnolia tree outside the window, and the white flowers are like doves falling all over the magnolia branches, leaving a fragrance in the wind.
On the hospital bed in the convalescent room, Li Shiyi leaned on the head of the bed, holding a book and reading it carefully, the binding style of the book is antique and different from the book layout in the Western Continent.
"Lee, how are you feeling today?" Sava pushed the door in, and he was in a good mood when he saw Li Shiyi's recovery, "How is the wound recovering?"
"Director, you're here," Li Shiyi put "Zhou Yi" behind his pillow, "I'm recovering well, don't worry." β
"That's good, that's good, haha. Savo's hand gently squeezed Li Shiyi's bandaged shoulder.
A burst of pain came from the wound, but Li Shiyi didn't show it at all, he didn't even frown, how can the burn of the black fire be so easy, and Li Shiyi knows his physical condition best.
"Director, is Professor Russell gone?"
"Russell, he's just gone," Sava poured a glass of water for Li Shiyi, "he said that the rest can be handed over to the school hospital, and it only needs to be slowly recuperated, and it is only a matter of time before he fully recovers." β
"Director, there's something I want to know about how the black fire on me disappeared. Li Shiyi's eyes were deep.
"Thanks to that girl, a second-year student in the Department of Abilities, her name seems to be Micah. β
"Are you talking about the girl with the No. 9 ability, Blazing Scarre?"
"Yes, it's her," Savoy pushed open the window, the breeze blowing, "thanks to her for absorbing the black fire from you." The red flame she controlled engulfed the black flames on your body as soon as it appeared, but she didn't seem to be able to control her ability, the ward you stayed in before had already been burned, but as long as you can wake up, burn it. β
"Have you seen her?" asked Li Shiyi.
"I met once, but she always wore a hat, so I couldn't see the girl's face clearly," Sava recalled, "but I remember that she seemed to be very interested in your knife, and after absorbing the black fire, she picked up your black knife and looked at it for a while. β
"My knife?" Li Shiyi grasped the black knife scabbard in his hand, there was indeed a mark after being burned by the flames.
Just as the teachers and students were talking in the convalescent room, a loud noise came from the direction of the teaching area of the C department, followed by a thick cloud of black smoke.
"What's going on!" Sava snapped up, staring in the direction of the smoke rising, "It seems to be the direction of the Ministry of Armed Forces." β
"Director, do you want to go over and have a look?" Li Shiyi turned over and got out of bed vigorously, the inconvenience caused by the physical trauma seemed to be out of order to him, and the pain was suppressed by Li Shiyi's tenacious willpower.
"Li, don't move!" Sava said sternly, and pressed Li Shiyi back to the bed again, "I'll go find out the situation first, you honestly recuperate here, and you don't need to worry about the sky falling outside, and there are other students in Department B." β
After Sava left in a hurry, Li Shiyi felt a sense of loss in his heart, he stood up with the black knife supporting his body, and then looked out the window, the butterfly flying next to the magnolia flower was already gone
