Chapter 105: Noble Authority
Mick was naturally in Calvin's laboratory at this time, and Kenneth and Marcus easily found Mick, and immediately learned from Mick about the details of the night, and unconditionally believed what Mick said.
What Rob never dreamed of was that Kenneth, who was the head of the student council's security department, would actually meet Mick, so his clumsy lie was immediately exposed, and the purpose was nothing more than to get Kenneth to find Mick and teach him a lesson.
However, since it is known that Rob and Crowe harassed Jasmine first, the question arises, that is, whether to pursue Rob in the end.
Mick means that it is better to treat it as if nothing happened, after all, the two of them are prominent, and Jasmine is fine, so it is better to settle the matter. But Kenneth was jealous and hateful, and when he heard that Rob had not only deceived himself, but also drunk and molested Jasmine, he was furious, and even wanted to send Rob and Crow to William so that he could educate them properly. As for Marcus being a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, he naturally encouraged Kenneth to make the two nobles have a long memory, and he was quite looking forward to Kenneth's choice.
In the end, Mick still failed to convince Kenneth, and Kenneth was furious, regardless of the fact that it was late, directly approached Rob and Crow to expose their lies, and then sent them to the Discipline Department for punishment for violating the school rank.
However, things turn out differently than Kenneth had imagined, and although Rob and Crowe panic at first, they quickly calm down and offer to confront Mick or Jasmine, who in turn accuses them of slander. Kenneth was naturally reluctant to protect Mick and Jasmine, and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Discipline who was on duty at the time was afraid of the identities of the two, and saw that Kenneth could not prove it, so he quickly invited the two out of the door of the Ministry of Discipline politely. When Kenneth tried to explain, the deputy minister also prevaricated Kenneth on the grounds that "Senior Robb is the son of the Marquis and would not do such a thing", and admonished Kenneth not to cause unnecessary trouble to the student union, warned Kenneth about Kenneth's handling tonight, and even proposed that Kenneth apologize to the two, so angry that Kenneth turned around and left.
So Kenneth not only failed to let the two accept the punishment, but formed a bond with the two, and Rob directly said that he would never stop there, although Kenneth didn't care, but his heart was as depressed as if he had blocked a stone.
When Kenneth returned to the villa, he hid in his room and sulked on the bed.
At this time, the other people who had participated in the club activities also returned to the Phil Building, chatting in the living room or eating the supper made by Alston, and saw Kenneth walking upstairs angrily, and did not greet them, so Brandon looked at Marcus who was walking behind Kenneth and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with Kenny?" ”
Brandon has now joined a club that studies the language of Warcraft, and seems to have made like-minded friends, no longer sitting in the villa and doing nothing as before.
Don't look at Marcus in front of Kenneth as aggrieved as a new daughter-in-law, but when facing the others in the Phil Building, he reverted to his previous arrogant appearance, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who told him to trouble two nobles without his own strength?" Of course I'm not happy to eat it now~"
Although on the surface Marcus laughed at Kenneth's actions, he admired Kenneth's actions inwardly. Marcas, who had followed his father on a mission, had also dealt with nobles, and had seen a nobleman save himself from imperial law by handing the sheriff a bag of gold coins after killing someone. This made Marcus know the horror of nobles since he was a child, so he devoted himself to honing his martial arts, just to be able to have the ability to resist, but he still feared nobles in his heart. Now that Kenneth doesn't even care about the marquis's son, how can he not let him applaud the case?
"Two nobles? Who is it? But Auston, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and asked.
"One is the son of the Marquis of Kuta, and the other is the son of the Viscount of Kakuta. How, do you know? ”
Unexpectedly, Auston really nodded and said: "I can't talk about acquaintance, but I have a little impression." ”
"That's what it was anyway, I went upstairs." Marcas's figure flashed after speaking, and he used his martial arts to "walk in the wind", and when he went upstairs, he was already holding the grilled noodles made by Auston on the table, and he still had a roasted bacon in his mouth.
"Hey, where did the bacon on my plate go?" Brandon was taken aback and said, "Hey, cook, did you eat it?" ”
"Stupid, I'm standing here, can't you see? Of course it was Makas's bastard. Auston lifted his forehead, once again feeling helpless about Brandon's IQ.
However, hearing that Kenneth had provoked these two nobles, who were definitely not small, Auston also had a hint of worry in his heart, so he took off his apron and walked upstairs with a plate.
At this time, Mona and Jasmine are reading the latest fashion magazines together, while Lisa is reading the newspaper, and Kevin is not in the living room, but should be reading in his room.
Brandon swallowed the last bite of the noodles, and had to admit that Auston's cooking skills were indeed good, but he wouldn't say it if he was killed.
As Brandon walked behind Lisa, he was suddenly caught by a newspaper headline that read, "Geraldine Surprises Zombie Swarm, Thousands Killed."
Zombies are a type of undead creatures, mutated from corpses that have been in the ground for about three days, and can move without eating, and generally appear in places where the wind or water elements are abundant. The wizarding world defines the undead as the life of the dead and abhors the living, but there are many different opinions about its creation, and many great mages have come up with different interpretations, but none of them are completely convincing. Most of the undead creatures are weak and extremely afraid of fire magic, but the harm caused by the undead is huge, whether it is low-level skeletons, zombies, or high-level undead, these undead creatures carry "death qi" on their bodies, and once the living are exposed to it for too long, they will be eroded by it, and thus transform into the same undead creatures as them. Therefore, once an undead creature appears, it will often spread to several cities in a short period of time, and it will take several wizards' guild chapters to completely wipe it out, causing more than 10,000 casualties each time.
So Brandon, who was at Geraldine's home, immediately panicked, hurriedly snatched the newspaper in Lisa's hand, and read the news on it, but Lisa was taken aback.
Fortunately, although there is not much space in the news, the town reported above is not Brandon's hometown, and there is a long distance in between, so Brandon can't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sit down on the sofa with palpitations.
Lisa tilted her head to look at Brandon, who was pale, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Brandon immediately understood Lisa's question, looked at Mona and Jasmine, who were also surprised, and explained after returning the newspaper to Lisa: "Geraldine is a zombie again, I thought it was my house, so I was a little excited." ”
The three girls all showed worried expressions on their faces, Mona's slender and beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and asked, "Brandon, are you okay with your family?" ”
Brandon smiled reassuringly and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." It's so far away that even our newspapers here have reported it, and the Wizards' Guild should have already taken action to exterminate it. It is said above that more than 1,000 people have died, doesn't this mean that the situation has been controlled? ”
Jasmine, who knows more about magic, nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no solution and solution, it should be dead now, tens of thousands of people have died......
Mona's brows furrowed even deeper when she heard that so many people would die: "I really don't know why this kind of thing appeared in the world. ”
Brandon smiled bitterly, breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay...... it's okay," but there was still a lingering worry in his heart, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the straw sandals that his sister had knitted for himself at his feet.
——————
After Auston went upstairs, it took him half a day to walk into Kenneth's room, and if it weren't for the baked noodles in his hand, maybe he wouldn't have been able to move Kenneth to open the door for himself for half a day.
Auston sat on the bed, watched Kenneth chew the baked noodles on the plate with a bitter face, and said leisurely, "Kenneth, is the supper I made so unpalatable?" The expression is so ugly? ”
Kenneth swallowed the food in his mouth, turned to Auston and said, "Your fried noodles are really good, you must leave me a copy for the next supper." After saying that, he cleaned up the rest of the fried noodles with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and finally licked the plate aside, his face showing a look of unfinished business.
"I heard you've got into trouble with the Marquis de Kuta's youngest son?" When Alston saw that Kenneth had finished eating, he asked.
Kenneth was angry when he heard Auston talk about it, and sat down next to Auston and said, "It's clear that they insulted Jasten first, but they still pretended to be victims, and in turn I slandered them." And the deputy minister, who didn't listen to me and thought they were right, asked me to apologize to them. Does this still make sense?! ”
Auston pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Kenneth, "Kenneth, these words may be a bit harsh from my standpoint, but I think it is necessary to tell you. This empire, after all, is in the hands of the aristocracy, and the aristocracy is born with the power to rule. In other words, they are not the bearers of right and wrong, on the contrary, they are the arbiters of right and wrong. ”
Kenneth looked at Alston in disbelief, and asked, "You mean, what they think is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong?" And regardless of the fact that what they think is right is actually wrong, and what they think is wrong is right? So even if they're doing the wrong thing, they're still right? ”
Although it sounded a bit tongue-twisting, Auston understood Kenneth's meaning and nodded slowly.
Kenneth frowned, shook his head, and said, "That's not right. ”
Auston got up and picked up the polished plate, turned his back to Kenneth and said, "Perhaps." But this has been the case for 500 years. Think about it, I hope you can see it. ”
With that, Auston walked out of Kenneth's room, leaving Kenneth alone on the edge of the bed, his face full of bewilderment.
"That's not right." For a long time, Kenneth still shook his head, his mouth stubbornly tensed, like the stele in front of Tushan Town, no matter how wind and rain it was, it still hasn't changed a bit, it was, it is, and it will still be in the future.
