Chapter 288: The Collapse of the Empire (24) The Career of the Minor Nobleman Lul Minor Noble

I am a Bourbon nobleman named Luel Gerke.

Throughout my childhood, I was proud to be a Bourbon nobleman, because my childhood education taught me the fact that Bourbon is the greatest, the best, the most civilized country in the world, and that as a nobleman, I am the best people in this country.

Although, my Gerk family is not a few Bourbon families standing at the top, but only one of many noble families in Bourbon.

But first of all, I'm not one of those small nobles from other places and outer islands, my Gerk family is an old fairway, or the core of the old fairway nobles, so although the family is not big, it is still a head higher than those non-old fairway nobles.

Secondly, my Gelker family is not a family of high-ranking servants, but a branch of the even greater, Germak family!

However, when I was born in 1382 in the main city of Siben, on the other side of Boris, our Gerk family was in decline, and we have not achieved much in politics since our election to the General Assembly House fifty years ago.

Of course, although the family is gradually declining, after all, the foundation is still there, not to mention the aristocratic background, which ensures that I have a childhood without worrying about food and clothing - although I often look at the heirs of the great nobles and buy new gadgets and envy it.

When I needed to go to school after I was 10 years old, my family had another problem.

After all, it is becoming more and more difficult to go to Boris Academy now, and it is difficult to mix even the side lines of the Gelmak family, not to mention our group of branches that have already been established. In fact, if you have to go, you can enter the college as a helper, but our family is ashamed of this method and can't let go, which can be described as a two-sided dilemma.

Therefore, over the years, our family can only send one descendant to enter the Boris Academy as an acolyte every few years, and the rest can only go to the second-class academy.

Unfortunately, my family had already sent me to the previous year, so I couldn't enter Boris Academy, so I could only go to the second-class Xiben Academy as a regular student. Although I didn't understand the meaning of these things at the time, I still remember my mother's sad expression when she heard that I had to go to Nishimoto Academy.

I married a wife and had children in the college, worked hard to complete the homework assigned by my tutor, completed my graduation practice seriously, and completed my graduation by my own efforts.

Although over the years, some terrible news has often reached the Academy, such as which city the Bonn barbarians in the north have taken and how many people they have killed. But the quiet academy blocked all the hustle and bustle, and I grew up in the academy, returning to my hometown every winter and summer vacation, year after year......

Ten years have passed, we ushered in the graduation practice, as a nobleman of the old channel, as a branch of the Germak family, naturally I don't have to be assigned to the outer islands to work hard, nor will I be assigned to the northern district of porridge to make a pot of porridge to take risks, but the central district is the self-reserved land of the big nobles, so I was assigned to the main city of Bhutoka in the southern district for internship.

During the internship, my luck was neither good nor bad, I didn't practice for more than ten years like some unlucky ghosts, and I didn't walk after a symbolic internship like the big nobles.

Therefore, in this strange southern district, I practiced steadily for six years, until 1408, when the whole country rejoiced because of the victory over the rebels of Bonn at Srihonapolika, and I was promoted.

At the time of my promotion, I made a move that surprised my family, and I joined the Navy. Because I saw that Sriho was famous all over the world because of his victory in the war, and I felt extremely envious. Besides, the wars in Bourbon are becoming more and more frequent, and participating in the war is the way to the top.

So at the age of 32, I resolutely joined the Bourbon army in 1408, and after some adjustment, I was assigned to one of the four fleets of the Old Passage, the Northern Fleet, where I served as a logistics manager.

Yes, I can only hide in the rear of the clerical staff who are deploying supplies, and not be able to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy in person, which honestly makes me feel depressed. And what's even more depressing is still to come, even in the logistics department, I'm still just a small handyman, and I don't come out, after all, the people who can be named in the logistics department are controlled by those big nobles.

In the second 6 years after that, I spent time in the logistics department, a little bit of seniority, it seemed that there was no hope of leaping to the sky, and the idea of "did I choose the wrong one in the first place" came to my mind from time to time. The once fancied splendid wars did not appear at all, and some were just boring.

It was not useless for me to wait, and when the time came to 1414, after 6 years of sundries, I finally waited for a second chance: because of the signing of the "Recognition of Dolomi", the old consul had to resign after recognizing the independence of Pocon, and the new consul "Le Le Viii" took the throne.

I remember when the news of Luhr VIII's ascension to the throne reached my office, I was still discussing this guy called Lul VIII with a few colleagues.

"Hey, Lul of Gelker, how much do you know about this new Governor named Lul?" Lull of your name?" This is the "jack of all trades" in our office, and he asked this just to show that he was well-informed.

Considering that this guy's family is not a big family, but it is also bigger than my Gerk family, I patiently took his words: "Well, he seems to have a very handsome face, so he has a nickname called Beautiful Man, I remember that he is still a big nobleman on Boris's side, I probably remember so much." ”

I'm talking about information that most people know now, which gives the know-it-all room to show off, so after hearing what I said, the know-it-all immediately showed a disdainful expression: "It looks like you know so much, it's really pitiful, so let me tell you more information." ”

That's why I hate know-it-all, holding this sentence to my heart, resisting the urge to roll my eyes and turn my kind face at this nasty ghost.

"First of all, this Lord Luhr, according to the order, he should be called His Excellency Lul VIII, he is from the Kark family, and he is seven points similar to you, the Gelk family!"

"And although the names are seven points similar, but the historical background of the Kark family is not comparable to your poor Gerk family, you must know that this family has produced many consuls, as for the position that other families need to work hard to grab as a member of the General Palace, the Kark family can ensure that every generation of family members has a seat in the council, and what is even more terrifying is that sometimes there is more than one seat!"

"Hiss~" Although I hate this guy's metaphor in tone, I was still a little shocked by what he said, Luer VIII really deserves to be a famous family, hearing the introduction of "know-it-all", I couldn't help but hissed a few breaths, and a little jealousy flashed in my heart.

Maybe I didn't feel it when I was young, but now that I have been a bureaucrat for 12 years, I have deeply felt the inconvenience of the small family, and the smooth career of those big nobles, who hardly need to do anything, they are destined to be promoted, and I need to work very hard to ensure that I will not be deposed.

I hid my jealousy well, not noticing the know-it-all in me and continued: "Besides, you said earlier that he was a beautiful man, which is very true, this guy was so handsome when he was young, but he is the brightest star in Boris Academy!"

At this time, the know-it-all deliberately looked left and right, and then quickly whispered: "I was a student in the academy back then, and this one was also in the academy when I first entered the school. ”

"Impossible, how could he be the Archon if he didn't use it?Shouldn't the Archon be the most eminent nobleman in Bourbon?" I asked in surprise when I heard the Know-It-all-trades......

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the other day I was still commenting with me that Lul VIII was a jack-of-all-trades for embroidered pillows, and now he has stood in front of the dock like a mourner to say goodbye to us, because he was belittled, and the main messenger who caused him to be degraded was Lul VIII, whom he called "embroidered pillows".

"Everyone, I'm going to be sent to the indoctrination area, take care," the jack of all trades said goodbye to us bitterly, and I don't know what kind of psychology I had to do with him, but I still made a very sorry farewell look.

Of course, it could not be because such a big man as Lul VIII deliberately targeted the know-it-all, but because Lul VIII carried out a purge, and many bureaucrats belonging to the faction of the old consul were washed out, and the know-it-all was a small role that was affected in this purge.

It was also thanks to the blessing of Lul VIII that I had been in the logistics department for 6 years, and not only was I not belittled in this purge, but I was also promoted to a small head of a place, and I had more power.

After being promoted, I was in a better mood and often boasted to my colleagues that Lure VIII had decided to be a wise leader who could lead Bourbon to further glory.

However, I also explored the reason why I was promoted this time, and after several explorations, I found a possible reason, and that was because of His Excellency An Lu, the "eloquent".

You must know that this Lord An Lu is the best friend of King Lul VIII in the Academy, and coincidentally, Lord An Lu is a member of the Gelmak family, that is, the main branch of our Gelk family.

In short, I thought it was because of this reason that I was promoted, so I wanted to go to Boris to say goodbye to His Excellency An Lu, but unfortunately I was blocked by His Excellency An Lu's attendants in front of the mansion and could not see His Excellency An Lu.

However, although I did not meet His Excellency An Lu, I was not too frustrated, after all, I thought that now that I have come to Jitailai, my future career will definitely be accompanied by a brilliant Bourbon, and I will go more and more smoothly.
