An Qingtian, a child of a small aristocratic family in Kyoto City, is only twenty-five years old this year, and is still studying at the Royal Military Academy. When Koster was studying at the Royal Military Academy in Kyoto City, An Qingtian was the youngest student in their class.

The command major of the Royal Military Academy, which specializes in recruiting cadets from noble families in San José, to learn military command skills. After completing their studies, they will be supplemented by the Guards or Border Guards according to their wishes, or they can remain in the Royal Military Academy as instructors.

For hundreds of years, every ten years, a group of outstanding students will graduate from this special major, but because of the particularity of this major, it is not so easy to successfully graduate. Many are even willing to stay at the academy for a few more years.

After all, outside the academy, it is still difficult to find an experienced and respected old professor like General Lineker.

Foreign students like Koster usually need to be recommended by a nobleman or court magician in San Jose to enter the school, but they are more free to leave the school.

Koster spent only two years at the Royal Military Academy, and after that, several years passed. The "little hairy boy" in the class, An Qingtian, was already a handsome young man at this time. He is smart and clever, and he is deeply loved by Lineker, and when he is fine, the old professor always pulls An Qingtian aside and teaches him carefully.

If it weren't for the outbreak of war, perhaps in the near future, An Qingtian, who had graduated, would have become an officer of the Guards under Viscount Slim, or go to the Morro River to guard the northern border. It is also possible to choose to become a member of the Royal Navy and enjoy the scenery of the long sea.

However, everything is done without the outbreak of war. When the Desik cavalry approached the castle of Kyoto, General Lineker was invited by the emperor to go into battle. All the student soldiers who remained at the Royal Military Academy spontaneously took up arms and walked up to the city walls.

Only 5,000 guards remained inside the castle, while the large army outside the castle numbered as many as 30,000. Whether it was hot-headed or courageous, the addition of thousands of student soldiers finally added a touch of strength to the defense of Kyoto Castle.

In the next few days, An Qingtian spent the most unforgettable days of his life. First on the city wall facing the Desiks for three days and three nights. The court magicians raised a powerful magical defense barrier in Kyoto Castle to prevent all living creatures from entering and leaving the walls.

For those three days, the pale cyan magic enchantment, like the strongest shield in the world, stood in front of him. Every day, An Qingtian repeats the mechanical action, pouring countless feathered arrows on the heads of the Desik people in the city. Since the outbreak of the war, all the anger has been stabbed at the enemy with the feathered arrows that have been fired.

Three days later, the horn of reinforcements sounded in the sky, and the wolf-like Desiks fled south. These cavalry were the last mobile force of the Desiks, and at that moment, An Qing really felt that the war had been won.

The Guards cavalry pursued the Desiks south, and reinforcements from the Western Frontier Army entered the city of Kyoto. The royal family took out the food and wine that they had treasured for many years, and rewarded the soldiers who defended the city and the reinforcements from the west.

As a proud disciple of General Lineker, An Qingtian has been fighting with the general these days. When the banquet to celebrate the victory began, he followed the general back to the academy, who was too tired these days. There were only a dozen or so college students left around him, and many more were laughing, singing and dancing at the banquet.

The Desiks have fled, the war has been won, and His Majesty's bounty will soon come down. Everybody, they're enjoying their time.

Then, instead of waiting for a reward, they waited for a colleague's butcher's knife.

That kind of chaos was not at all something that an old man like Lineker and a dozen students around him could control, and the riot erupted in an instant, and the entire city of Kyoto was covered by chaos.

Following the old general, An Qingtian and his classmates fought and retreated, all the way to the big library. At that time, he didn't know that in order to cooperate with Merlin's actions, all the court magicians in the Great Library were concentrated in the Red Keep City.

Lineker met his old friend in the library, an old man who couldn't do anything about it, and who, listening to the general, seemed to be the librarian.

Next, An Qingtian saw something terrible again, the old man named "Kuta" cast a spell that he had never seen before, and generated a shadow on the wall, and the shadow could still walk on its own. With this spell, Kuta figured out what was happening in the Red Keep.

When he heard the news that it was the Merlin mage who was in rebellion, the palace magicians who colluded with the Western Border Guards, and the rise of darkness, An Qingtian clearly saw that the old muscles on General Lineker's face were shaking, and his face was flushed.

"Yes, this news, how can people believe it. That's Merlin, the leader of the venerable court magicians. But they couldn't believe it, the border guards who stretched out their weapons in the streets, the magic that erupted over the city of Kyoto, all proved that the old man Kuta was right.

Not long after, the Merlin Grand Magister who came in person crushed the last bit of hope in An Qingtian's heart. When he said it in front of General Lineker, "Yes, I am the Patriarch of the Dark Rising, and everything that happens here is planned by me. At that time, An Qingtian had never felt that the weapon in his hand was so hot.

"Traitor!" An Qingtian didn't know why he shouted such a sentence, at that moment, Merlin was talking to Lineker and Cook. His classmates, the student soldiers who protected Lineker, did not dare to move in the face of the heavily armed rebels behind Merlin, and An Qingtian actually threw out the steel long sword in his hand without fear of death.

An Qingtian suddenly felt that time seemed to have stood still at that moment, and the stainless steel long sword flew towards Merlin in a circle, and it took a long time to turn around, round and round. Until the tip of the sword turned to Merlin, it was only a finger away.

Merlin turned his head and glared at the sword.

An Qingtian really felt that time was not gone. Merlin stretched out two fingers and pinched the long sword lightly, and the tail of the long sword began to shake violently, like a prey seeing a natural enemy, and it couldn't break free at all.

"Poof!" As if hearing a long sigh of relief, An Qingtian finally felt that he had broken free from the prison of time, and everything around him was normal. And his classmates didn't show the slightest abnormality at all.

And Merlin, he didn't continue to stare at himself, the long sword, just casually thrown at Merlin's feet, he was turning to Kuta, the old librarian, and said something he didn't understand: "Dear Guardian of History, what do you say?"

An Qingtian was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, it seemed that just now, he and Merlin had already clashed, needless to say, the long sword that fell to the ground was the best answer.

"The ancestor of the Rhine royal family was only the clerk of the Magic Empire at the beginning, and he was specially organized for the archons to compile the documents and minutes, and he was not even a nobleman without magical talent. After the civil strife in the Magic Empire, he colluded with a group of scholars to form an alliance of rebels, and united many rebellious nobles and magicians, and finally overthrew the rule of the Magic Empire. Kuta's voice came at this time.

"Well, worthy of being a keeper of history, your historical record is definitely the most complete and credible. Merlin nodded, "So, is it reasonable for an ordinary man to become the master of the empire above the magician?" Merlin then asked.

"What's so unreasonable about that?" Kuta wondered.

"Of course it doesn't make sense!Magicians are the greatest and most glorious people in the world, how can we always be the slaves of an ordinary man, and do things that go against our will according to his preferences!" Merlin suddenly roared.

"But what you have done is not a good thing!" Lineker sighed, "no matter how high-sounding it is, Merlin, you are still traitors. ”

An Qingtian, seeing Merlin's face change several times with his own eyes, the whole person, as if on the verge of an outbreak, used a lot of strength, and seemed to hold back: "Honorable Guardian of History, please return to your hut, our human affairs will not and should not affect you." You also know that you can't meddle in the internal affairs of human beings, so..."

Merlin didn't finish speaking, An Qingtian turned to Kuta suddenly, only to see that the latter's eyes were gloomy, and he didn't refute. Although she didn't understand what they were talking about, An Qingtian felt that Merlin didn't seem to be wrong.

"Yes Kuta, you can't make a move, go back. Lineker nudged Kuta beside him and motioned for him to return to the iron gate. Then he turned to face Merlin, "Then what do you want to do to us ordinary people?" ”

Lineker's taunt didn't make Merlin any more angry, as if he understood it, he asked him again, "Lineker, I repeat, if you're willing to join me, I'll let you go", Merlin paused, glanced at the sword on the ground, and went back to continue, "And, these students of yours." ”

Unexpectedly, Lineker suddenly smiled, shook his head while laughing, and left the wall he was leaning against tremblingly, "Merlin, Merlin." Although I am not a magician, although I am not a noble nobleman, but after all these years, do you know what I am most proud of?"

Merlin was puzzled, "What is it?"

"Students," Lineker suddenly straightened up and turned towards the group of students who had been forced to the wall, many of them wounded, their armor torn and their weapons broken. But the stubborn faces on their faces were all unyielding, even if there was blood still dripping from the corners of their mouths.

"Students, do you say we should do Merlin's bidding?"

The scene was as silent as death, An Qingtian looked around at the classmates beside him, and everyone seemed a little indignant. An Qingtian didn't care, took a step forward, and shouted loudly, "I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!" a loud roar lingered over the Great Library.

PS: Thank you for appearing on the scene.
