Chapter Sixty-Nine: To the Royal City
Andre's death caused some trouble in Moondew City, and Tom, the captain of the patrol team in charge of security in the city, also knew about it. and knew about the conflict between Arrizo and Andre, one of his own inconspicuous acting squad leaders.
Although Arrizo was suspected, Arrizo was drinking in the Leaky Cauldron when Andre was killed, as the bartender Paul and the other drinkers can testify.
And with Arrizo's ability, no one believed that he would be able to kill AndrΓ© in that situation. So Arrizo's suspicion was quickly ruled out. I don't know if this situation of being ignored and looked down upon is good or bad.
But at least the eyes were diverted, and the suspicion was put on the rivals in Andrei's house. Because Andrei's father has been doing a big business recently, the explanation for killing people for money and business is more reasonable.
However, Captain Tom's attention will not be fixed on a murder case, because he has more important things to do than the death of a businessman's son.
That's the annual year-end patrol team internal skills competition in Moondew City. Among them, the top 10 people can record a personal third-class merit, which can be regarded as the capital for future promotion. There is also a chance to travel to the royal city to participate in the final intra-kingdom competition.
Among them, the ten highest-ranked patrol members in the entire kingdom have the opportunity to follow the path of the system and enter Wangcheng University to study. Once you graduate, you can become a mid-level cadre in the entire kingdom's patrol system.
It's obviously more important than a murder. This is the best opportunity for the bottom rangers to soar into the sky and even climb to the top positions.
And Tom also attaches great importance to this matter, because Moondew City is one of the largest cities in the kingdom, and Tom's subordinates have not won the top ten in the kingdom competition in the past ten years.
This was a shameless thing for Tom, and it made his peers in the other cities laugh at him a little.
Tom desperately needs someone to help him with his shame, and in this time, a familiar name appears in Tom's eyes again.
"Irez? Tom sat in his office and looked through the materials, and said with a little amusement. In the previous sources, it is clearly documented.
Arez's performance with both bows and muskets is extremely good. The written test is okay, not a very high level, but at least a little more than the average. But his melee and white-knuckle combat are terrible.
But in this year's big competition, his white-knuckle battle has improved by leaps and bounds. Maybe it's because he's been working hard this year. Or in vain to understand the true use and training methods of white-knuckle combat.
Tom's secretary took the paperwork and asked Tom: "Captain, there are only ten candidates selected to participate in the big competition in Wangcheng this year, you see?"
Tom smiled and waved his hand after looking at Erez's name for a while, "That's it, get them ready to go." If I can't get a good ranking this time, and I am embarrassed again, I will cancel everyone's third-class merit!"
The secretary secretly smacked his tongue, this is not easy to do. In the national competition, all kinds of strong players will emerge in an endless stream, and some people actually have the ability to go to college back then.
But there are still people who don't go to college for various reasons. Who can guarantee that you will be able to do well in this kind of competition?
But this kind of thing is not something that a secretary can leave in his mouth, he can only nod yes, and then transfer Tom's meaning to the following.
As for whether the people below complain, it's none of his business.
This time, the patrol members who finished in the top 10 in Moondew City couldn't help but complain privately when they heard Tom's decision.
There was only one person with a determined look in his eyes. That's Arez, who has decided to sell his soul to the Hooded Man.
He remembered the suffering he had endured in the past few days, just as the man in the gray hood said, his efforts must be rewarded.
What Irez is seeking now is not a simple position as a squad leader, but wants to go higher and farther.
I remember that night, when he returned home with scars and alcohol, Penny sat in his home and waited for him to return.
And the hooded man who stood quietly to the side, and the words he said.
Hooded Man: "Do you like this world? Backward and ignorant, the most basic dignity of man must give way to power and class." β
Arez: "I don't understand what you're talking about. β
Man in the Hood: "The Holy Mage led you out of obscurity and defeated the two Birdmen. He is indeed great. β
"But he didn't do what he was supposed to do. The backward system, the old and rotten system, the aristocracy, the senate, and the system of trampling the next class under the feet for every class that rises. β
"It's ridiculous to be behind, like you and Penny. I think the story of the two of you may be playing out every day in this Dawn of Light, a population of nearly 100 million. β
"Do you want this to happen every day, or are you so numb that you turn a blind eye, or are you willing to do it?"
Arez clenched his fists: "How can you be willing!"
The hooded man laughed: "In that case, why not tear it all up and start over?"
"Since the Holy Mage is not really doing his job in this world, why not complete it, make everything better, and use all your strength and life's energy to accomplish it. Are you willing to do it?"
"No one is superior, and no one can simply cover up sin. There may still be darkness, but it is also necessary to make the place where the sun can shine wider. β
"People living under the blue sky are smiling more and more than bitter. Are you willing to do it for all this?"
Without hesitation, Arez replied in a loud voice, "I do, but can I do it?"
The hooded man smiled and said in a tone of course, "It may not be possible to rely on you, but if I help you, you can reach heights that you never dared to imagine before." β
Arez: "You're so confident?"
Hooded Man: "Because I was born to change the world!" and this is just a midpoint. The vastness of this world is far beyond your imagination, and it is beyond the imagination of anyone in the Dawn Realm!"
"So, if you're willing, then sign a soul pact with me!" the hooded man pulled out a small figurine and placed it in front of Arez
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Jie watched from the dark as Arez slowly left Moondew City with Penny, who was disguised as an ordinary teenager's entourage, and began to march towards the royal city.
These days, Li Jie has used the thousand-year-old building blocks to build one illusion after another for Arez, and he can't fight? It doesn't matter, he can cultivate in the illusion world! Anyway, he won't die, and the time is long.
Logan could dream of fifty years in a thousand-year brick, and ten years of Arez in it was nothing. In particular, Li Jie himself has entered the illusion of building blocks for thousands of years and taught him how to fight.
This has allowed Arez to improve by leaps and bounds. In the real world, Li Jie tried his previous conjecture.
Using legendary kitchen utensils, he made some high-energy food and let Arez eat it.
That's why Iriz was able to make it all the way, and of course Iris's willingness to work hard is also an important reason.
However, there is one thing that Arez may be mistaken, he seems to understand the soul contract as saying that he has sold his soul to Li Jie.
Regarding this point, Li Jie didn't bother to explain. It probably doesn't hurt anyway.
Li Jie, dressed in gray and hooded, held a thick notebook in his hand, and he gently rubbed the cover of the cowhide and whispered, "Isaac Newton." What do you do in this world? What do you want to do in this world? What do Howard and Tony mean to you?"
Li Jie's gaze looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Dawn Realm King City.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Dawning Realm Royal City.
In the special laboratory of the Graduate School of Mysteries at Wangcheng National University, huge steelmaking blast furnaces stand tall.
The hot molten iron is burned to a dazzling white, then poured out and quickly cooled into ingots. But that doesn't mean it's done.
The pieces of metal ingots were transported to the next special department, where all the workers were mages trained by the university.
But they don't have any aristocratic demeanor here, but are like ordinary assembly line workers. They used their magic to refine the metal ingots they had transported.
When this step is completed, the ingot will only be half the size of its original size. They are then fed into a special machine to be melted again.
It's a very old device, almost two hundred years old, rumored to be the legacy of a holy mage.
When the re-smelted ingots are baked, they glow with a beautiful blue-purple glow. They are then fed to the next workshop.
There they will be beaten, hammered into special pieces of armor, but those pieces of armor are too large. It's like armor made for Titans.
And this production hall has not stopped since it opened two hundred years ago. They followed the last will of the Holy Mage, the legend known only to the few: one day the final holy war will come!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Li Jie, who was heading in the direction of Wangcheng, was looking through a piece of paper with a portrait printed on it. Although it is a bit old, Li Jie can be sure that this is a print of the Dawn Realm, but Li Jie has seen the same portrait in another world, which is in a middle school physics textbook.
Li Jie can be sure that the person in this portrait is a person. It's just that in the two worlds he has different names, and in the Dawn Realm he is called the Divine Mage.
On Earth, he is revered as the most important founder of modern physics. If anyone who knows some of the secret stories will also know his other identity, it is Isaac Newton, the last leader of the Aegis Brotherhood, known as the Master!
And on the waist of the note Li Jie was holding was a line of small letters: Our world should not die!
ps: It's the end of the month, and the children's shoes for the monthly pass are all voted for me. In addition, it is actually very important to have a copy, so if you find it difficult to understand, you can save it and read it together, so it would be good.
