Chapter 158: True War Lord! (3rd Update)
It wasn't until after the Warlord Academy that Link learned of such a thing.
The War Lord Academy is divided into two parts: civil and military.
Wen's War Lord Academy is to teach each student theory and corresponding knowledge in the early stage, if you can better exert the power of your profession.
And the War Lord Academy of Wu is to formally carry out cultivation and systematic training.
The Academy of Literature is in the Emerald City, which does not occupy a very large area, while the Martial Academy is on the outskirts of the city, and a very large land has been carved out by the Emerald Grand Duke, all of which are dominated by the War Lord Academy.
A large number of buildings were built there, and the cadets of the Warlord Academy basically lived there.
The Faculty of Letters is basically a place to report and learn the basics, and it is very deserted.
But even if it's deserted, it's a dream place for many people.
It took Link 1 Silver Moon to get the opportunity to visit the Warlord Academy from the guards guarding the gate.
There are no more people in the academy, and most of them have gone to the academy for formal training.
Link walked around the academy twice, looking at the depression around him, with a slight regret.
Here, in addition to him, there are only some ordinary people who also come in to see the strangeness, and occasionally the two guys with extraordinary momentum also do not squint, walking towards their destination, and at a glance, it is the people in the academy who have come back to do something.
Link swayed left and looked again, and came to a bulletin board.
It is full of various notices written in the lingua franca, including warnings and dropouts from the school. Even Link saw the death notices of several people.
In this academy, death exists anywhere. Every student is mentally prepared for this.
Line by line, look through these things. Link began to get to know the academy gradually.
"Little one, don't go around and look at the scenery, what's the point of reading these notices here."
Just as Link continued to read the proclamations silently, a burst of angry voices suddenly came from behind him.
Not too frightened, this was the Warlord Academy after all, not a dangerous place, so he slowly turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard, holding a cane. There was a sad look on his face.
"It's all poor kids who died here when they still have a wonderful future."
The old man sighed, and Link knew he was sighing about the people in the death notices.
But it is precisely because of this death that other people can know that life is precious. In order not to let yourself die, then you have to work harder! Link spread his hands and said, "Anyway, when they came here, they should have known that they might die." ”
On the way to the transcendent, all kinds of accidents keep appearing. It can't all be like Link's Elemental Tower, capable of pushing heroes directly to the extraordinary.
But maybe it's just because they are extraordinary in themselves, but they have been sealed with their own abilities, so the so-called breakthrough. What does it mean to just break through a seal?
Subconsciously, Link's mind turned to the other side.
"Hmph." When the old man heard Link's words, he immediately became dissatisfied. "If it is a dignified death, it is still a good thing. But dying at the hands of the person you believe in the most is the most distressing! ”
The old man's words caught Link's attention. He pondered for a moment and asked, "War Lord?" ”
In his mind, he thought of the situation that Jimmy had secretly told him, was he killed by his own lord?
"Heh, it seems that everyone knows now!" With anger on his face, the old man looked at Link as if he wanted to make a move, but quickly waved his hand and snorted.
Link breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, annoyed that he had casually aroused the anger of this old fellow, it seemed that this kind of thing had a very big impact on him.
"Warlord Academy, it will have to be changed to Death Lord Academy in the future!" The old man sighed, reached out and wiped the name of the dead man on the bulletin board.
The pupils in Link's eyes contracted suddenly, the text on the bulletin board changed, and the names of the dead were erased, but it seemed that nothing had changed at all.
This kind of unreasonable thing can only be blamed on the old man in front of him.
"You're not just here to have a look." The old man suddenly turned to Link and said, "I see that you look like a student who came to inquire in advance, are you preparing to enroll here?" ”
"That's right, I want to be a Warlord and am seeking an invitation letter from the Warlord Academy."
Link himself just wanted to deal with it casually, but suddenly his mind changed and he said honestly.
"Hmph, it seems that you are not a descendant of a nobleman, what ability do you have to become a war lord?" The old man glanced at Link a few times, completely revealing his identity, "At most, there is a little spare money, what's the point of coming to take up this war lord." ”
Without a territory, without loyal subordinates, the war lord is completely incompatible.
"No, I think Warlord is probably the best class for me." Link smiled, "There's probably no one else who is more suited to a Warlord than me." ”
"Heh, it's not a small tone." The old man also seemed to be interested, "Don't say anything else about the war lord, first of all, the word lord, it means two points, there are subordinates, there are territories, so what do you have?" ”
"I have subordinates, and I want to get the territory soon."
Link said without humility or arrogance, "As long as you have the strength, if you go outside and compete with those aliens for territory, it is still easy to obtain a piece of territory." ”
The old man's expression became solemn: "You mean, you are going to the border to fight against the aliens?" ”
"That's natural, the word war lacks iron and blood, and it doesn't live up to its name."
Link said lightly, "And the profession of War Lord seems to have been born because of the need to compete with aliens for the living space of human beings." ”
"That's right, it's a pity that people nowadays have forgotten the duties of the War Lord, and only know how to use the characteristics of this profession to gain power for themselves." The old man sighed, then shook his head at Link, "But I'm still not optimistic about you, even if you have such a mind, but you still lack manpower. ”
"Subordinates obtained by money are not a good thing for war lords."
The old man's tone was gloomy, "Only the truly loyal can give their lord help!" ”
"It's because I believe in them that I think I'm the best fit for the Warlord profession."
Link smiled and said, "As I firmly believe, no one can make them betray me. ”
"Impossible betrayal?" The old man laughed, "I don't believe that such a thing cannot be betrayed, or we will make a bet." ”
The old man said to Link, "I don't know where you knew that I could help you become a student of the Academy, but obviously, you made the right bet, I will make you the next Warlord apprentice immediately, no invitation letter required!" ”
As soon as a smile appeared on Link's mouth, the old man stretched out his finger and pointed at Link: "But you need to do something!" ”
"Throw the person you trust the most into the academy at the same time, and take a good look to see if it really won't betray you!"
The old man's tone became gloomy: "Take a good look at the hearts of the people of this world!" (To be continued.) )
