Chapter Twenty-Three: Ellis, the Goddess of War

After a few more days, I was finally able to pretend to apply some of the simpler magic arrays. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although it is quite scary for a magic array to suddenly appear on the ground, ordinary people can't find anything if they don't look carefully, and it can be explained.

Barrow's work in the house gradually got started, and the horses in the stable were also taken good care of by him, but Longde was more bad and didn't listen to him. In the days when my health was not well, he often sent me to the academy, and we talked a lot on the way, but for some reason, the process of talking to him no longer had the sincere feeling that I had in the orphanage, and he would only be respectful and humbly call me young master, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we graduated, and we were about to enter the Higher Division.

The Royal War College is a large building, perfectly symmetrical, but completely separated in the middle. The left courtyard is the lower department, and the right courtyard is the higher department. Students do not have the opportunity to interact with the Higher Division until they are promoted from the lower division to the higher division. The lower division mainly teaches some basic knowledge, and each student learns the same content, while after entering the higher department, students have to choose different majors according to their hobbies and family arrangements for more detailed professional learning. Promotions from the lower divisions to the higher divisions require a selection examination, and some of the weaker ones are brushed off. Alexander, for example, failed to pass the exam this time and continued to study in the lower department until the next year.

Those of us who passed the exams stepped into the Right Courtyard for the first time to prepare for the next two years of study. The number of students here is undoubtedly very small compared to the lower divisions, and although the school houses are the same size, there are nine grades on one side and only two grades on the other, so the road is very empty. And compared with the lower departments, the students here are also more mature and calm, and they are already quite popular. Those of us who are new to the situation are curious about everything here, and many of us are looking to the people who come and go, and it may not be long before they will become the confidential ministers of the Duchy, and it will be worth the trouble to improve relations with them, and Rand's two nephews are now studying in the Higher Ministry.

We waited in the hall of the academy, and the hall gradually grew more and more crowded. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the corner of the academy, and someone let out an exclamation, as if something remarkable had come. Everyone couldn't help but look there.

The crowd could faintly hear people whispering, "Who is she?" "Don't you know her? She is the young lady of the General's Mansion, not only beautiful, but also the leader of the Department of War Studies, known as the 'Goddess of War'. is a well-known number one person in the academy, she has not yet graduated, she has already entered and exited the battlefield to make contributions, and people come to the academy just to take advantage of the absence of war to go through the motions. This group of aristocratic forces wanted to win her over. ”

I looked up at the congestion, a figure walked out of it, I took a look, there was no ordinary aristocratic lady as I imagined, on the contrary, she was wearing a neutral soft armor, which made her tall and straight, heroic and cool. She has long black curly hair and upright features, but her face is like an iceberg, giving people a sense of inaccessibility. I looked at her and only felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered: Isn't this the runaway lady I met in the designer store that day? I didn't expect that at that time, the girl who looked weak and weak just changed her outfit as if she had changed her person. Somehow, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart, and I remembered her abnormal behavior at that time.

Ellis swept me through the crowd at this point, and our eyes met for a moment. I could clearly perceive the surprise and panic in her eyes, and although she managed to regain her composure for a moment, I knew I could never misread people's emotions.

Why did she panic for a moment when she saw me? I never knew her before, huh? I thought about this question over and over again, but I never had a clue.

Ellis quickly walked up to Rand and gave a military salute: "Your Highness, welcome to the Higher Division of the Royal War College, I am Ellis Kerf, the head of the Student Affairs Department of the Division. I'm in charge of all the new students' affairs today. Then she walked to the stage and explained to us freshmen the precautions for waiting, ignoring some polite words, the main content is that we will choose the department independently, and enter the dean's office one by one according to the grades to select and confirm the department.

I've always been in the middle of the range, so I'll have to wait a while for my turn. During this time, I tried to get to Ellis's side: "Sister Ellis, do you remember me?" ”

Ellis glanced up at me, without answering or denying it.

I didn't expect her to answer honestly, I just hoped that some clues could be revealed from her expression, but unfortunately, she was expressionless this time, and I couldn't see any clues at all. Could the kidnapping case she encountered before have anything to do with her?

I do not know.

To be honest, all this strange thing happened after meeting her. I have reason to suspect that something is wrong with her.

I met a lot of people that day, including Ellis, Ooyao, Urlinger, and Gray. Somehow, I didn't want to put all this bad stuff on Gray and Gray, and my gut told me that although the origins of Gray and Gray were confusing and unclear, they looked natural and straightforward, and I didn't think they were bad people. And although Ellis has a clear net worth and has not had any contact with me after that, she always thinks that she is planning something when she sees me with a dodgy look and an unnatural attitude. Judging from the current situation, Ellis is independent and capable, and has made military achievements, I don't quite believe that she is the kind of little girl who will run away from home casually, so why did she appear on the street that day? Was her and my encounter really just a coincidence?

I'm even more unsure.

After waiting for a while, it was finally my turn to talk with the dean. I sat down in a chair at my desk in the dean's office. Because of Onira, the dean was quite familiar with me, and we didn't say any gossip, he looked at me with a smile, and directly put the pointing materials of each major in front of me, and let me choose by myself.

I looked at the materials in front of me, and there were many kinds of majors, such as "War Studies", "Command Studies", "Grand Magic", "Leadership Studies", "Magic Potions", etc., all kinds of things. I can probably guess that Oniela chose Magical Apothecary, because she was very close to Red Luo during this time and often stayed together. As a witch, Hong Luo is best at refining medicine, and over time she has been somewhat affected, and she has developed a strong interest in pharmacy, which has been mentioned before. As for Rand, I guess he should choose "War Studies" or "Domination Studies", which is more worthy of his identity.

What about me? In fact, I already had the answer in my heart. Many majors, such as "War Studies" and "Ruling Studies", are very popular, but they are all majors set up for high nobles, and ordinary civilians have no chance to become commanders and display their talents, and learning them is just a waste, so I am not so uninteresting.

I scanned the information on the desktop, and finally took out an application form, filled in my basic information, and wrote the words "knighthood" on the application major. "Knight Studies" is a relatively civilian major, students even if they are nobles after graduation, they have to start from the grassroots level, go to the battlefield to fight, and can only be promoted step by step with their own ability, as long as they have the ability, it is still possible to have a future, unlike others, all of them are born. This is probably the best option for me. Before Catherine's curse, I had thought that I would join the army after graduation, away from the court, and leave those troubles behind, and I could live a relatively free life, but in the current situation, this seems to be just a delusion.

However, this does not change my choice, there are many nobles in the academy, it is a relatively safe place, no one should think of attacking Rand here, even if I don't stay by his side all the time, it shouldn't be a big deal. Not to mention the fact that there are some bad rumors about me right now, and it is not a good thing for him that I am too close to Rand.
