Book 2: Opening Chapter 67 Academy
Resource ??? Didn't I give you 50 gold coins? And as a secret agent of the Military Intelligence Department, he has a salary of 1 gold per month, and the secret guard is 5 gold per month. You can get it repeatedly, isn't that clear enough? ”
Luo Xia looked confused: "Hey, hey? What I want is strength, why do I want money? ”
Tie stubborn was even more confused: "With money, are you still afraid that you don't have the strength?" ”
"Wot uh hair!?"
Where am I, who am I, and what am I doing?
It wasn't until this moment that Luo Xia felt as if he had dug a huge pit for himself.
Is there a shortage of money for labor and management?
He asked a little weakly, "Difficult, could it be that the cultivation methods and resources can all be bought?" Isn't it true that our secret guards have special exercises and cultivation resources? ”
Iron Stubborn: "What??? Well, we Dark Guards do have special secret techniques and resources, but for you, a little guy who doesn't even have a blood realm, you can't use them at all. That one... You really don't know how to improve your strength? ”
Luo Xia shook his head numbly.
"Do you know the Academy? Oh know, all the non-family faction professionals originally came from the academy, went to pay fees, and then bought the cultivation resources they needed. Then, repeat. So money is everything. What, I still have something to do, you can do it yourself. ”
As if sensing that someone was going to explode on the spot, the pock-faced leader sneered and made an excuse to leave.
"Xiaoxi, I'm so stupid, really."
Luo Xia covered his face with his hands, looking desperate: "All of them say that resources must be robbed, plundered, and fought for by themselves." I actually believed it!? But as long as you think about it, a world full of professionals and almost everyone can cultivate. ”
"Everyone has to use it, and everything that can be used must be rotten on the street~~~"
"Xiaoxi, you said, have you ever seen a primary school Chinese textbook that is very precious?"
"Ahh I was almost made into a nervous disorder, who told me why? Xiaoxi, I'm so stupid, really. ”
Xiaoxi: "... ”
"Xiaoxi, I'm so stupid, really."
Xiaoxi: "What..."
"Xiaoxi, I'm so stupid..."
Xiaoxi: "Master, don't say it." I know, I'm stupid, I'm a useless smart ,... 555…”
"Xiaoxi, you finally admit it, finally admit that you are stupid? So please tell me, how do you format such a weird artificial intelligence like you, okay? ”
Xiaoxi: "Master, no." ”
Luo Xia couldn't think about it: "Today is a good day, today is a good day~"
"Master, calm down, I want to open a little, now we are a high-paid class, and we have found a big backer."
"Before I became a dog, I buried a lot of gold and silver treasures, do you think I am short of money? Xiaoxi..."
"Aha, master, today is really a good day, how happy, you see, you finally realize that you have made a fortune."
"Xiaoxi, get out!"
Well, it's futile to complain again.
Luo Xia left the side path of the manor where the Military Intelligence Department was located, and was about to go to the college area to check the situation, when he suddenly introduced a dark figure when he skimmed an alley out of the corner of his eye.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he stopped and silently followed the man in black who suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Although the previous secret guard training, in the eyes of Luo Xia, who has experienced the influence of the information age, it is a bit rigid and backward.
But rigidity often means being rigorous, and during the three months of training, he also knew the content of the training well. For example, the gestures of the man in black can be understood in seconds at a glance.
This is a member of the Secret Guard, and at the same time, like him, he works for MI3 "on the surface". And should be his direct head.
Until they walked to a corner of the city wall where waste and debris were piled up, the two stopped at the same time, and the man in black in the lead said expressionlessly:
"Raven, your first test mission: The Seven Martial Arts Academy has been moving a lot lately, and the Military Intelligence Department needs to figure out their purpose. You'll also be going there to study, and you'll need to find every way to gather any information you can get. Although this is a welfare task for trainee members, both identities only need to do the same task. But I would like to remind you that you are only a trainee now, and the value of obtaining information and how well I rate you will determine whether or not you are eligible to become a full member. ”
Luo Xia originally thought that the secret agent, or the secret guard, had some special benefits, plus the backer was hard enough.
As a result, he is now told that it is a formal operation to take the money to go to the academy for further study.
In particular, the identity of the secret guard is more likely to be a pit, it is better to be in the military intelligence department in a proper manner, and the 'welfare salary' may not be so high, but it is better to be more free and safe.
It's all strange that the drama spirit mode is too deep into the play, and it's too late to regret it now.
Therefore, Luo Xia no longer has a sense of desire for promotion performance or anything, and replied with some disapproval: "This shouldn't be my task alone, right?" ”
"Hmm... That's not what trainees should be concerned about. ”
"Okay, I see. By the way, big brother, what do you call it? ”
The man in black looked indifferent, as if he was dissatisfied with his too bland and slick attitude, and turned around and left without looking back: "There's no need. ”
At the same time, he despised in his heart: these 'crash course' students are of poor quality. Go back and give feedback, the next batch must be taught more strictly.
"Okay, there's no need big brother, see you next time"
“。。。” The man in black shuddered and disappeared around the corner.
"There's no sense of humor."
Luo Xia smiled, sisters, little kids, and honest people, always make people feel superior.
'Academy? It seems that in this world, the power of the academy is very strong, and even the official has to rely on 'agents'? But the academy doesn't seem to refuse? Such a student shouldn't have much loyalty to the academy, right? So why does the college remain detached? Forget it, take a step at a time, hahaha, I'm here, the world is finally going to be under my step, trembling, wahahahaha... ’
But soon, Luo Xia couldn't laugh anymore, and his sense of superiority was gone.
Xingnamcheng was the capital of Nam Luo Province, the southernmost province of the empire, and the seat of the Southern Xinjiang Governor's Palace.
Nam Luo province has a vast territory, and at the same time, it has become increasingly prosperous due to the continuous collection of displaced people from various countries and the relatively peaceful development in the last decade or so.
Bordered by the famous Shiwang Plain in the south, it is connected with a number of small countries and some inhuman tribes across several border fortresses, and is still the most important economic, political and military center city in southern Xinjiang despite the constant wars and turmoil in the surrounding areas.
To the north of Nanluo, the Longjiang River runs east-west through the vast Yingge Forest, but it is surrounded by mountains and gives birth to thousands of miles of fertile fields.
If it weren't for the treacherous surrounding mountains, bandits, and constant wars, southern Xinjiang would definitely be a super fat meat.
At the same time, the rugged architectural style, which is dominated by boulder components, and the patrols that roam the wide streets from time to time, give the city a tough feel.
At the same time, it also has the best war college in the whole of southern Xinjiang.
At this moment, the First War Academy in Xingnan City, where Luo Xia was going, was also known as Fenghua Academy, even in the entire empire, it was a well-known large demon martial arts academy.
In the entire Xingnan City, there are seven semi-military magic martial arts academies, collectively known as the Seven Martial Arts.
As early as more than 100 years ago, the Seven Martial Arts Academy took root in southern Xinjiang, and a few decades ago, with the pace of the governor of southern Xinjiang, it was relocated here from the northernmost province of Nanrong.
There is a ranking tournament every few years, and Fenghua Academy has been holding the top spot for more than ten consecutive years. Coupled with the martial arts of southern Xinjiang, the natural strength is extraordinary.
Although it is not the time for the colleges to enroll students, as a combat hero and a self-righteous master, Luo Xia feels that he can still go through the back door, but...
"Oh, what a shame, you're over the age standard, despite the honor of an elite knight and the esteemed exploits of war... Anyway, I'm sorry. ”
Things are more difficult than imagined, so in order to improve his resume, Luo Xia even took out the name of a young knight, and it seems to be quite big, but it is not an egg.
The admissions representative of Fenghua Academy squinted his eyes and reluctantly stared at the bag of gold coins that were smashed on the table by Luo Xia. But in the end, reason prevailed over greed, and he was reluctant to refuse the other party's earnest desire to enroll.
After all, the honor of being the first academy is not something that can be sold for a few dozen gold coins, although he is personally very willing to laugh at this rich extra money.
This is undoubtedly a major blow to Luo Xia, who is ambitious and ready to rise with a transcendent attitude.
These academies generally only admit young people under the age of 15 who have excellent natural qualifications.
Even if Luo Xia's body looks like he is only about 18 years old, because he doesn't look like a professional at all, the key is that he is illiterate who can't read a word!
So I was rejected at once.
"What's wrong with 18 years old! Can you enter old age at the age of 18, and you can not be cared for by society? Angry Luo Xia was like a helpless teenager who had been bullied, grabbing a bag of gold coins and leaving Fenghua Academy, and went straight to the second academy next door.
It's not that Luo Xia can't study, but the academy has two teaching modes. In his understanding, one is a formal student with student status, and the other is a paid self-study model without student status.
There is not much difference between these two models for those who have a foundation. But for Luo Xia, the cultural foundation, theoretical foundation, and common sense of the professional system are very lacking.
The most important thing is the paid mode of further education, which does not include many basic disciplines and theories, as well as special key knowledge.
On the contrary, Luo Xia, who has Xiaoxi and logical help, can optimize a better set of advanced solutions with a high probability as long as he establishes a sufficient theoretical system.
Therefore, becoming a full-fledged student is undoubtedly much less troublesome than simply studying.
But the next blow was like a foot wash rendered by wind and frost, which drenched Luo Xia through, which was simply terrible.
Even though he lied about his age more and more slightly, and even pretended to be 13 years old in the corner of the admissions director of the Sixth College, he was still ruthlessly rejected by others.
is not a talent that makes people look high, but also the physical fitness of the best age to lay the foundation.
Forget it, the bloodline of the key Luo Xia's performance is a spiritual talent. This kind of talent bloodline, which has a high probability of not being able to advance, is not as great as the development potential of ordinary people who do not have special talents.
As for summoning warlocks, except for specialized academies, general academies do not open teaching courses, because this kind of dangerous profession with uncertainty is not suitable for ordinary academies to absorb. It's a pity that Luo Xia doesn't know this.
Perhaps in the other colleges in the northern provinces, he could successfully enroll in the school through bribery, eat and drink and wait for death.
But this is Nam Luo Province, which is perennial war, martial arts, and fierce competition, and it is a military frontier area, and the interests of honor and life and death are obviously ranked ahead of money.
"How can I say that the master is also a hero who has been promoted, and the main supporting role around him! Don't you all know the advertising effect of heroes, and the students will die if they are encouraged by the signboard of the young master! Really brainless. ”
The grief-stricken Luo Xia stood at the door of the Sixth Academy and shouted bitterly, attracting the attention of a group of curious students.
In fact, it's not that Luo Xia really wants to become an ethereal peerless master, and he must become a formal student with a student status.
Instead, Xiaoxi's information collection ability is really complaining, except for a similar function that can collect biological genes after close contact, it seems to be very hanging.
But this is actually just a different way of receiving information, just like Xiao Xi can fully accept all the information in Luo Xia's field of vision, while he himself can only see what he notices.
Essentially, it was entirely up to his senses and body to gather information.
After so many experiences of cheating his father, Luo Xia was really a little scared.
He wants to calm down now, hide in a place to 'enrich' himself, and take the initiative to control the power in his own hands, fire prevention, theft prevention, and Xiaoxi.
The Seven Academies of Southern Xinjiang are collectively known as the Seven Martial Academies, but few people know that they also have an official title: Imperial Nanyuan.
The earliest factions that were formed by some of the forces divided by the Royal Academy were barely mentioned anymore as the Governor consciously diluted the influence of the Empire.
Although the absolute strength of the Seven Martial Arts Academy is not comparable to that of the various legions.
However, considering the countless students who have graduated from the academy, its soft power is even spread all over various fields in southern Xinjiang.
It is strong with the aristocratic chamber of commerce, and the army is three-legged and mixed with each other.
Among them, the Grand Duke controls the power of the army and some of the colleges, and has the most power.
In order to completely consolidate the power of the family, the Duke has been committed to the complete militarization of the academy to bundle interests, so the situation that many of the upper echelons of the academy have military ranks, divided into the elite faction and the military faction.
However, even so, the Duke's family was not able to fully grasp the power of the academy. Even, even some of the pro-duke military factions in the academy are more inclined to maintain the original independence of the academy.
This is the result of the game between all parties in southern Xinjiang and even within the empire, as well as the special reasons that belong to the academy itself.
Therefore, once you join the academy, for a foreign population like Luo Xia, it is equivalent to having a certain degree of foundation, at least, an effective way to integrate into the local area.
was semi-forced to become a secret agent before, and he had no intention of going all the way to the dark. Therefore, I want to go through the channel of formal students.
