Chapter 25: Conspiracy
Arman was intrigued by this gift, and urged the house slave to take him to see what it was.
The house slaves had chartered a hotel near the inn, and several mysterious carts surrounded by burlap were placed in the open space in the backyard, and some muffled roars could be faintly heard from the cars.
When Arman arrived in the backyard of the hotel with the house slaves, several house slaves were dropping food into the burlap wagon, and before they could get closer, Arman could already smell a fishy smell coming from the car.
"What's in there?" Arman asked, frowning, gesturing at the sackcloth car.
"The cars were loaded with wild beasts from the mountains and forests near the Togolese hills. The house slave replied respectfully.
"Beasts, why did my father come all the way to ask you to send the beasts to the imperial capital?"
"The young master doesn't know, these beasts are all large carnivorous varieties, which have been specially prepared by the master over the years, and it has taken a lot of effort. This time, when the lord came to Beijing, he specially arranged for us to transport the beast, which was said to be a gift to a certain official. ”
As soon as the house slave explained this, Arman immediately understood what Daddy had in mind and what these beasts were for. There is no doubt that this is what Daddy is going to give to the Prime Minister. You must know that the Yusi Empire has a strong martial atmosphere, and the nobles are very fond of colosseum performances, and even some large aristocratic manors have built a colosseum. In order to make their performances in the Colosseum more exciting, many nobles will buy and collect all kinds of beasts from all over the world, and then call friends to watch the performances of various beasts, on the one hand, to show the strength of the family, on the other hand, through this opportunity to get closer to each other. A long time ago, the Fabre family also had a small Colosseum, but later due to the decline of the family's power, the Colosseum was abandoned. But the big families that have maintained their strength are still very happy about the beast show. Therefore, Fabre's gift this time is also to his liking, and this kind of behavior of giving beasts is a common behavior among the nobles of the empire, and he is not worried that the prime minister will refuse. This batch of these rare varieties from the Togolese hills is sure that the Prime Minister will be very satisfied.
It seems that Dad has been preparing for a long time, but he doesn't know it, so he just takes this opportunity to see what beasts Dad has found.
Arman thought as he walked over to the first car and ordered the slaves: "Uncover the sackcloth and let me see." ”
The house slave followed the instructions of the young master and uncovered the burlap cloth on the cart, revealing the huge iron cage inside.
Inside the iron cage was a huge cat-like creature with a dark body, sleeping soundly at this time.
"It's... Night Panther?" Arman made some observations, and finally recognized this carnivorous beast endemic to the southern part of the Empire.
"Young master, good eyesight! This is the night leopard, this leopard is used to coming out at night, and usually sleeps during the day. This leopard was caught a few years ago, and it has been raised until now, and it is not as fierce as before. The house slave next to him lost no time in patting the young master's ass.
"That's not hungry, if you starve it for a few days, it's guaranteed to still be ferocious. What kind of beast is in the cage over there?" Arman looked at the Night Leopard and moved to the other vehicles, ready to take a look.
"Boss, is the boss here?"
Just as the house slave was about to show Arman the beast in the second car, there was a shout from the lobby of the hotel, and a figure ran in from outside the courtyard, and the visitor was immediately happy to see Arman.
"Boss, I've finally found you!"
"Matthews, why are you running here? Arman was surprised to find that it was Matthews, so he asked suspiciously.
"Boss, we've sent back a message from someone at the Academy of Magic. Matthews leaned into Arman's ear and whispered.
"Oh?" Arman immediately understood what news Matthews had brought him, so he took him to the side of the courtyard and asked, "Is there any good news?"
"Yes, our chance has come. They were going to leave the academy and go to the outskirts of the city for field training, and they would spend the night in the field, and the boys and the girl were among them. ”
"Is the information reliable?"
"Reliable!"
"When are they leaving?"
"Tomorrow at noon!"
"Good! That's a good job!" Arman patted his little brother approvingly, then thoughtfully turned his gaze to the night leopard in the cage in the middle of the courtyard, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently broke into a sinister smile.
"Maybe this big cat can help us a lot. ”
Arman took Matthews back to the center of the courtyard, and then commanded a group of house slaves: "Don't feed this night leopard from now on, Young Master Ben will use it tomorrow night!" After speaking, he glanced at Matthews next to him, and saw a look of understanding on the other party's face.
"Haha..."The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The old magician Fama Quex asked the students of the Academy of Magic to go to the countryside for field training, the main purpose was to let these students get in touch with nature more, experience life in the wild, and exercise their ability to survive independently. Before this, the old magician had been ignoring the cultivation and education in this area, in his mind, only in the laboratory to study magic theory, magic experiments is the right way, but now the situation on the mainland has changed, it is almost inevitable that the important force of magicians will be involved in this great change, so the old magician has to make some adjustments in the cultivation of the academy, after all, under this great change, it is the most important thing for the magician to survive.
However, for the adjustment of the old magician, in Allen's opinion, the training in the field is like going to an outing and camping, I don't know how much happier it is than hiding in the boring laboratory and library, so as soon as they heard the old magician say that the field training began, one by one, they almost rushed out of the campus as if they were beating chickens, and the old magician who was standing behind and had a bunch of instructions that he did not finish was half angry.
This field training, a total of three days, the participants for the academy's advanced class and intermediate class students, divided into five groups, under the successful operation of Elvis, the five people of the Knight Academy reunited, in addition to an intermediate class of female student Kelly. Thinking of this Kelly, Elvis is a sweat, this woman has always been pestering him, the last time she went to the knight's academy because she didn't take her, after coming back she made a big fuss with him like an abandoned woman, as if she really did something sorry for her, especially in the matter of Felicia, he struggled to make Kelly believe that it was actually invited by Allen. This time she even threatened to go to the old man and sue him if she didn't take her, saying that he had bribed the academy assistant in the field training arrangement, and in desperation, Elvis had no choice but to obey.
