Chapter 57 The Thing Returns to Its Rightful Owner
Zhang Hao's big vacation actually didn't last long, and all kinds of things followed, first the light magic vehicle data was stolen, and then the wood elf messenger McGrett told him that there was a trace of Tzeentchon in Ai Solo Loren, and finally the treasure map of Bafeng Mountain, neither of the latter two things will make people worry, but Zhang Hao has no way to ignore it, plus a tempered Exhel, Zhang Hao is now very headache.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao summoned all the high-level officials of the academy to communicate with the Grand Palace instantly, and decided that after the deployment of all the legions of the empire, they could conduct an expedition to the orcs of Bafeng Mountain to complete Zhang Hao's oath in Weisenburg, of course, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and there is no clear time for when the plan will start.
The second thing is the matter of chaos in the Solloren Forest, the Emperor Karl has signed a series of war covenants with the Wood Elf King's envoys, and the force represented by the Wood Elf King is the second force to sign an alliance with the Empire, which greatly promotes the exchanges between the two countries, and the Wood Elves have also agreed to send fifty outstanding young members to the Imperial Magic Military Academy for long-term friendly exchanges.
The third thing is about Charlie Leo Cornwall's punishment, no matter what the reason for him to do the theft is unforgivable, but in view of his special status, after informing King Lorne Leo Cornwall of Bretonnia, he will be brought back by the Fosleke exchange group, and the academy will expel him, as for Xhill, because Charlie alone has all the charges, Xhill only received a verbal warning and asked him to take the initiative to clean up public health as a punishment.
The meeting lasted all morning, and by the time Zhang Hao came out, it was already past lunch time, and Charlie and Axiel were also in the next room waiting for the punishment results.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get something." After Zhang Hao came out, he beckoned the two of them to come with him, and tomorrow morning, last night, Zhang Hao took down Echard's magic portrait and put it in Baier Shaze's studio. Axiel's crying red eyes didn't dare to look at Zhang Hao, he just walked with his head down and didn't say a word, while Charlie felt that there was nothing to do, after all, his task was completed, and a magic contract between him and Zhang Hao was now in his necklace.
"Your Highness, can I not go back with Vosleke and them? I felt that I could go back to Bretonnia alone and not need their escort. "Charlie didn't want to see his father, and he was used to being free, and it was hard for him to go back to that rule-and-order world, and now he was only thinking about the treasure.
"You have to follow them out of the academy safely, that's our responsibility, you know?"
"And what about after leaving the academy?" Charlie asked tentatively.
"Poldello has a whole team of horned eagles in the harbor outside the academy, and the empire has no flying units, so out of the academy, your safety is not something we can manage."
"Understood!" Charlie has been in the market for a while, and Zhang Hao said so clearly that he doesn't understand, so Zhang Hao has to consider another person to cooperate.
"We're here, let's come in together." Zhang Hao used rune stones to open Baier Shaze's studio.
When the three of them entered, they saw a hidden portrait standing on an easel.
Zhang Hao stepped forward and removed the cover, leaking the portrait of Echard inside, and the tears that Axhel had stopped sliding down his cheeks again, what he had done before and Charlie, a friend, who had been expelled, were now missing.
"Charlie's words made me realize that I did something wrong and that I shouldn't have imposed my thoughts on you, and I'm deeply sorry for that."
"No, Your Highness, don't say that, I know you're doing it for my good." Axiel replied with a little choked up.
"I thought I could make decisions for you as my prince, but Charlie's words made me realize that I was so stupid, everyone is an independent existence, in this kind of matter, even His Majesty the Emperor can't make decisions on his own, I'm sorry Hill, I didn't respect your personal will, from today onwards, your own identity will be fought for by yourself, and the titles of maid and princess will be null and void." Zhang Hao often emphasizes respect, but he himself is very domineering in the matter of Axiel, and he hurts this little girl who is not good at words.
"Your Highness, I ......." Axiel was speechless, she was very moved, but also panicked, no matter what, Zhang Hao's status in the empire is extremely high, everywhere you go, you can hear someone discussing this young prince, as the largest nobleman in the empire, standing in front of him to apologize personally, which makes Axiel a little overwhelmed. And Charlie beside him was also surprised, he had never seen such a high-status nobleman apologize to a person without any title, even if she was a relative of the savior, Charlie had something vaguely in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was, which bothered Charlie very much.
"Okay, let's not talk about more, this painting will be yours in the future, collect him, and rest well when you go back, although you don't have any title now, but the prince's palace still welcomes you all the time, after all, everyone still likes you very much, Charlie, if you are not busy, help move this portrait into Hill's residence, he is not suitable for storage." After speaking, Zhang Hao stepped forward and gently hugged Axiel, "Come on, you will be better than your eldest brother!"
___________
Three days later, after waiting for McGregor and his party, the exchange group began to return, according to the information of the Eye of the Empire, the group unfortunately fell into the mountain range when they flew over the Gray Mountains Charlie unfortunately fell into the mountains and there was no news, and the Duchy of Bastogne, one of the closest Duchy of Bretonnia to the Gray Mountains, and the dwarves of the Iron Chisel family searched the mountains together for ten days without results. Axiel returned to class three days after retrieving the portrait and continued to follow Anna as she worked to learn the magic of light.
During these ten days, the academy issued a series of announcements, in addition to explaining Charlie's affairs, it was also announced that a special lecture would be announced, and every week an in-depth lecture would be given in the large classroom of the military academy, including Lee Roald (random lectures), Walkmar (Sigma Theology), Jeans (Finance), Bini (Military Theory), and Byrshazar (Cognition of the Eight Winds of Magic)
Zhang Hao didn't know when chaos would come, but he also knew that chaos had not stopped disturbing the pace of world peace, the news provided by Magritte, although Zhang Hao didn't care on the surface, but he was actually super nervous inside, in order to speed up the teaching speed of the college, Zhang Hao had to open big classes, so that more students could learn more and more essential things at the same time, if it weren't for the fact that everyone was very busy, Zhang Hao really wanted to open every day. The academy accepts students from all over the continent, but the teacher is only provided by the empire, and now it is obviously a little difficult, and finally an announcement of the academy to recruit teachers spreads throughout the continent with the empire's merchants, Zhang Hao is short of time, but he knows that he can't wait.
