Chapter 236: The Stone of Oaths
The Warlord Academy, which admits cadets in three categories, is divided into three categories.
The first type is the apprentice of a war lord like Link, who pays the most expensive tuition and becomes the most special profession. They will receive special treatment from the Academy to make them the best members they can be.
The second category is the glimmer of life for some toiling masses who have lost their original lives. The Academy selects enough members from among the children of civilians to enter the Warlord Academy, so that they can have the opportunity to become human beings from now on, but they also have the limitations of the Academy.
They need to complete the tasks of the academy in order to be able to compensate the academy for their efforts, and even after graduating from the academy, they must follow the academy's orders, go to various dangerous places, and even join the army to fight against the aliens.
If you are lucky, you will be sent to a more promising place, so that you can continue to grow into a pillar of the empire.
In the Warlord Academy, one of the activities that this group of people must participate in is to be selected by the Warlord's apprentices to become their subordinates. They are even allowed to use a little trick against themselves to discern whether they have enough qualifications and strength.
The third category is another type of student that is separate from these two types of students.
They were sent to the academy by various nobles and wealthy businessmen to study, just to become formal professionals, and they paid a lot of money to gain absolute freedom, and their relationship with the academy was just a transaction.
They avoid being traded by the Warlords' apprentices, and they are also entitled to refuse their own means.
Of course, if you have the heart, you can also become the target of these War Lord apprentices.
Link chose the third category for his heroes, because the second category was too unfree. Link didn't want them to get into too much trouble.
It's nothing more than a little gold, and he doesn't care about that at all.
And the other War Lord apprentices, the same, after all, everyone else has chosen the third category, and choosing the second category for their own subordinates will naturally bring bad senses to their subordinates. It is very easy to suffer betrayal in the coming time.
He followed David into a small auditorium, where there were already more than twenty people waiting, and there were almost 40 of them.
Link felt a little curious, what were the more than 20 people in front of him doing?
But soon, he knew.
The people waiting here are all this group of War Lord apprentices, but there are twelve people on Link's side on a trial island. And everyone else has their own place.
The apprentices of the War Lords are not even together, and they are divided into three parts!
Through their conversations with each other, Link only got this little bit of information, and the others were very strict and didn't reveal anything.
Someone wanted to try to talk to Link, but after two or three sentences, they found that his quarrel was also very tight, so they left with a haha.
Link kept an eye on the position in the center of the small hall. There was a black cloth covering something, and two full-fledged knights were guarding it. They seem to be very strong, and they should be the elite of the professionals.
Nearly 40 people waited here for a long time, and finally one person walked in.
Link thinks that the other party is the head of this house, Duncan.
"Welcome, you are the hope for the future of the Empire. The cornerstone of the Empire, Warlords will be born among you if you can stay strong. ”
As soon as Duncan spoke, he carried Sen Sen's murderous aura, "This time the War Lord training, you should investigate very clearly. Very dangerous, the mortality rate can even reach 30%! If you are worried about this, you can just quit the academy, this is your only chance! ”
This sentence made a large number of War Lord apprentices frown and began to whisper.
Duncan ignored them, and stood straight in the center, waiting for a long time before he continued, "Is anyone ready to quit?" ”
The War Lord Academy is the key academy of the Empire, and there is no way to make trouble if you die here, even if the War Lord apprentices here may be the heirs of major nobles, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
However, it is obvious that the person who is going to be the war lord has naturally been prepared for this.
Under Duncan's repeated questioning, there was still no one who was ready to quit.
"Very well, in that case, if anyone wants to quit after the school starts, then they can only go back with your head."
Duncan's words were bloody and cruel, causing many people to frown.
Duncan ignored this, though, and lifted the black cloth behind him, revealing a mottled gray rock.
"Stone of Oath!" Beside Link, someone whispered.
This is the Stone of Oaths? Link began to get excited, is this the prop of the oath, which is one of the essences of humanity?
Under Duncan's movements, the Oath Stone began to gradually brighten, and a little starlight dotted above the Oath Stone, Link blinked, but he didn't seem to see those starlight, only gray rocks.
"This is the light of the oath." Someone whispered from behind Link, "The oaths issued will be inscribed on the Oath Stone, and if violated, countless accumulated oaths will cause unstoppable damage to the saboteur." ”
Link's ears stood up, wanting to hear more news, but the person behind him had already kept silent, apparently just blurted out after being shocked just now, and now realized that something was wrong and had closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"Now that everyone is ready, follow me and swear by me."
Duncan stood tall and stared at the crowd, "Whoever plays tricks on his head will die here!" ”
After the words fell, he directly began to lead the oath.
The oath is simple, as Link knows, first of all, it requires allegiance to the Empire, and secondly, in the event of an invasion by the aliens, they must go all out to repel the aliens.
There is not too much complexity and tightness at the price, perhaps it has evolved like this over hundreds of thousands of years.
After the oath was finished, Link could clearly feel that the oath he had made had turned into something, wrapped around the oath stone, and then suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone.
Not only his, Link also felt the other people's oaths turn into starlight and disappear in front of him as well.
At this moment, Link suddenly realized that the oath stone in front of him was probably not the real oath stone, it was only a carrier of the oath stone at most, and the oath that people made here might have been transported to another place and properly protected.
After all, this is the essence of human beings, how can it be possible to get an academy at will. (To be continued.) )
