Chapter 52: Trainees
Lei couldn't figure out what was going on, but after he slept very happily for four days and four nights, and finally got up and pulled a full three catties of barbecue meat to his stomach, it seemed that things had changed suddenly. Jerry, who was arrogant and casually provocative at them, was sent to him, and the heads of several noble families acted as notarizers, and the two of them engaged in a very fair duel, and Ray's first sword cut off the trembling Jerry's head. Jerry's father watched from the sidelines, watching his son be killed by Thunder, but his trembling appearance, like a frightened quail, seemed to have no intention of his son's tragic death.
Those Jerry's companions, it seems that their families have also suffered a catastrophe, quietly disappeared within the noble lineage of the empire. In other words, if it weren't for the mention, the empire would never have had these aristocratic families. Their personal guards, after being stripped of all their honor by the bigwigs of the Knights' Guild, were sent to the border of the toughest war fortress in the north like prisoners of crime.
Only Kari was slightly luckier by Ou, and after being stripped of his nobility by Shagru, he was expelled from the area where the imperial capital was located by the garrison, and was sent back to his father's province by several secret agents of the garrison, and demanded strict discipline from his father. As for the knights who were under Or, Kari was so inexplicably evaporated from the world, and it could not be found in the ranks on the border, nor in the prison, but it was just said that there were many more physically strong slaves in a gold mine in the deep mountains.
There are many others that make Ray feel puzzled. For example, he suddenly had several mansions under his name, a lot of cash and jewelry, etc., and several large fiefs were incorporated into his domain, all of which made his governor Comoso very happy. There was also Sidock who ran to his house with a mysterious face, and carefully inquired about the circulation of the fighting qi in his body. Lei said all the meridians of his fighting qi circulation with a big grin, Siddock was like a treasure, and the four clerks who accompanied him desperately copied it for two hours, and let Lei carefully proofread it three times, and then left with a smile.
Seedock laughed and left, and also said that Ray had made an immortal feat for the empire, and His Majesty would definitely have a reward in the future. And the other little things were that the four clerks died of alcoholism that night, and the sad-looking Sidddock gave the families of all four of them a very generous pension.
Well, the turmoil caused by Jerry's provocation has subsided, and Ray has officially become a member of the Supreme Military Academy in the Imperial Capital.
Standing in the conference hall of the spacious main building of the academy, Lei stared blankly at the dozens of college tutors and deans and other big figures in front of him. Ray looked at them with reverence, while these people were full of caution and fear, and they were very attentive to meet him. Ray couldn't understand why these people were so afraid of him, he just brought too many guards and knights, and after being taught a lesson by Carry Ou this incident, Ray was ordered by Seedock to bring more than three hundred guards with him wherever he went.
Lorrinster asked very carefully and respectfully: "General Lei, your admission procedures have been completed, and now, we are going to test your skills to facilitate the search for the most suitable tutor to guide you, you see... ”
Jerry, who was sitting on the big chair next to him, said weakly: "Dean Lorrinster, you are too polite, just follow the general procedure." But I want to remind you that General Lei's martial arts are very strong, and the martial arts instructors you send out should be the strongest... General Lei's fighting spirit should have reached the level of the strongest fifth-order golden knight, but the tricks are a little unsatisfactory, so you can watch it. ”
Lorrinster smiled: "Of course I understand that Lord Lei's martial arts are amazing, I will follow Lord Lei's habits and his combat style, and send that kind of mentor with powerful lethal sword skills to tutor him... We're talking about tactics now. You see, history, geography, culture, tactical theory, practical tactics, etc., these courses, I don't know what kind of level Master Lei has reached. According to His Majesty's will, Lord Lei is going to start a separate class. ”
Lei Wenyan, who was standing in the center of the conference hall, nodded hurriedly and said, "These things, Lord Jerry said, these things like history and culture are very important. ”
Lorrinster and the mentors smiled, well, you know the importance of these things, so you should have some level, right? But Ray's next words immediately shattered their dreams: "But I'm sorry, I don't know a word, I can't write, I don't know anything about culture, history, art, tactics, or anything." ”
The tutors of the Imperial Capital Academy were stunned, Lei's words were too frank and direct, which made them a little unbearable. Sure enough, it's a superb, even if it's a few famous fierce general-type guys in the history of the Imperial Capital Academy, at least they still have a few books, and the one in front of them, who has such a powerful fighting spirit, actually doesn't know a big word, which really surprised them all.
Jerry sighed slightly, and he said helplessly, "Alright, Dean Lorrinster, you should appoint a mentor." There are two or three martial arts instructors at random, as long as they can train Master Lei's martial arts. As for cultural classes, you may need to send 10 or 8 instructors. ”
Ray heard Jerry's words, he nodded hurriedly and said, "I think it's about the same, I don't know anything about culture, anyway, you can do it." ”
Lorrinster frowned and smiled wryly: "Jerry, this year is going to be a vacation soon, and all the mentors are very busy." This one... ”
Jerry leisurely fiddled with a small gold button on his clothes, and whispered, "But according to Your Majesty's wishes, Lord Lei must be tutored by your best efforts and dedication. And Lord Lei has the right to decide where and when to start classes... Of course, I don't think Lord Lei will deliberately be harsh on you, and this year's winter vacation will not require you to work hard. However, at least there are about ten days before the holiday, so you should at least let Lord Lei learn a little bit of writing basics, right?"
Lorrinster hurriedly laughed: "That's natural, if it's just a little bit of text foundation, I can draw a few of the best tutors from other specialized vocational colleges nearby, and ensure that there is no problem... When school starts next spring, Lord Lei will be able to take tactical courses along with those academies. ”
Lei frowned: "Do I want to learn tactics with them?" Although Lei is not a hypocritical person, he also knows that he is now the commander of the army, and it will be a very shameful thing to learn tactics with a group of children who have not officially joined the army.
Lorrinster looked at Jerry helplessly, Jerry sighed, and explained: "Ray, there is no way, the tactical course, you must conduct a large-scale sand table deduction, so that you can deeply understand what the purpose of every step and every action is, and everyone must refute each other and find out the most reasonable tactics from it, so we must discuss it together... Of course, I will ask them to arrange for you to study with those students of the highest rank, and you can go to class in the name of selecting subordinate and confidant generals, so who would dare to laugh at you?"
Lei grinned and waved his fist excitedly: "So, let's decide, when the school starts next year, I'll take a tactical class." This winter, I need a couple of tutors to teach me a text course... Hmm, I'll give each mentor a fee of 10,000 gold coins, Jerry, what do you say?" After fooling around with Jerry for a while, Ray began to understand that with money, he could buy a lot of things.
Jerry smiled and said slowly, "Mentors, you should take a break in winter, but that is also a martial arts instructor who needs to rest for a longer time, and those liberal arts instructors, it is better to take advantage of the winter to earn a little extra salary." Jerry's sly eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "If Lord Lei passes this winter, and he still doesn't know a word, maybe Your Majesty will be angry." ”
After a period of coercion and temptation, Lorrinster ignored the excuse that the so-called vacation was approaching and the college was busy, and simply arranged for the three best liberal arts tutors to accompany Lei through this winter. At the same time, there is also a big man whose sword skills are known as the number one destructive power in the entire academy, and he is arranged to live in Lei's mansion and accompany him to exercise his body this winter.
As he walked out of the academy gate, Jerry spat heavily on the ground and cursed, "Damn old guy, he gets so much money from the empire every year, and he still wants to slaughter you, what a damn old guy... Also, I guess those tutors are reluctant to teach you, so they are a little reluctant. ”
Ray asked dumbfoundedly, "I didn't notice their reluctance?"
Jerry sighed, looked at Ray helplessly, and said, "Ray, study carefully, you only need to see what the wishes of those mentors are by Lorrinster's expression." That's right, you're a big celebrity in the Imperial Army, and teaching your words will be of great benefit. But benefits and risks coexist.,If something goes wrong with what you're taught,,They will definitely suffer punishment from Your Majesty.,So... ”
Lei sighed: "I see, why did I pay the price of 10,000 gold coins, and they were still a little reluctant." Isn't it more comfortable to rest in winter and recuperate in my mansion than to go back to their own nests? At least where I live now, I have everything, right?"
Jerry shrugged his shoulders and shook his head silently, Ray still thought too simply, but it was better to think simply, at least he was happier. The only thing that makes Jerry feel a little strange is that Ray is really too simple-minded, right? Could it be that his mother was killed by the Darkers, and he didn't react at all? Ever since he split Jerry into seven or eight pieces of meat during the duel that day, he hasn't noticed anything unusual about Ray?
After thinking silently for a while, Jerry suddenly remembered the hideous smile on Ray's face when he was in Turk Canyon, and he couldn't help but shiver all over, looking at Ray with his big head swaying from side to side to enjoy the street scene, Jerry chilled from the bottom of his heart. Can a person's anger be stored so deeply?
When the first snowflakes descended on the 'Battle City', the three old men with long beards were already tutoring Ray in Ray's study. Three scholars who are very famous in the entire Vatican Empire came to teach a student like Lei who didn't know a single big character, and I think this is also a matter of retreat from many tutors. It's a shame to say it. Especially if Ray is a stupid person who can only wield knives and guns and cannot learn culture, then the risk of accepting such a student is too great.
Fortunately, at least Ray is not that kind of stupid person, and it should be said to be honest that Ray is still very smart. The reason why he doesn't know a single big character is because of his background. How many children of commoners in the entire empire knew how to write and write? Only a few lucky people who were able to enter various specialized academies and learn a little about finance, management, etc., were able to get access to cultural courses.
"Ray... Is that how my name is written?" Ray grinned, looking at the word 'Ray' on the parchment, and laughed. His handwriting is very ugly, because his strokes are all straight, straight and straight, like a blade, but there is also a little bit of a battlefield atmosphere on it.
The three tutors looked at each other, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it seems that this student is not too stupid. On the morning of the first day, Ray learned his own name, the name of the Van Empire, and how to write the names of the various provinces. Ray's memory is very good, so many nouns have been memorized, but there is no mistake.
Subsequently, it was an hour or so of a course on the general situation of the mainland, and out of the need for speed, these old guys did not explain the history of the continent to Lei at all, and directly began to tell the current situation of the mainland. And focused on the analysis of the important position of the economy in the whole war, which Ray knew was very important. Without money and supplies, how can you go to war? Don't you see that the Bicester Empire even has to exchange its armor from the Van Empire with cattle and sheep?
By the time Ray had finished his morning lesson and ran out of the study door in a daze, Comoso entered. He said in a dull tone that was very much in line with the conservative aristocracy: "Three adults, your room is ready. According to Lord Jerry's orders, everything is the best on the market in the imperial capital, and I hope you will have a happy stay here. At the same time, each of you is equipped with three personal maids, and I hope they will be able to satisfy the three adults... By the way, your honorarium has been sent to your home, and your family has been explained the situation, so you can stay here until next spring. ”
The three old men nodded in satisfaction, and over there, Lei had already eaten lunch, and after a short rest, he began to compare with the martial arts instructor.
This martial arts instructor is known as the most lethal Kalubu in the entire Imperial Capital Military Academy, and his height is nearly 1.90 meters, compared to the average Vant, he is already amazingly strong. However, standing in front of Lei at the moment, he still felt a little small and exquisite.
Both of them held huge swords in their hands and wore light leather armor, and stood in the back garden like bullfights. The three old men who tutored liberal arts stood on the balcony of the main building and looked at them blankly, holding wine glasses.
Karubb's face was full of caution, and at the same time a little respectful. For a student like Ray, he is also not good to teach. Ray's own fighting strength may have surpassed his own, and Ray's identity made Karub very worried. Karub also wants to get a good position in the army, but for various reasons, he can only be a martial arts teacher in the academy, so he attaches great importance to being able to teach students like Lei.
The only thing to consider is how to teach Ray well and get his favor.
The figures of the two people moved, and the two afterimages collided fiercely together. A bright light exploded, and Lomat, who was watching the battle, closed his eyes violently. In the first complete hard hit, Karub's body was completely knocked back fifteen steps, and Ray only swayed slightly.
A look of approval appeared on Karubb's face, and then, his figure suddenly turned into countless afterimages, enveloping Thunder. As Ray's eyes widened and he couldn't find out where his entity was, Karub kicked Ray hard in the ass, sending him flying three meters away.
Kalubu smiled and bowed, and said, "Lord Lei, your strength is unquestionable, all you need is a little bit of skill, and some sword skills that can give full play to your strong fighting spirit." ”
Ray laughed, "Hehe, that's for you, Mentor Karubb. Ray was happy, it was the first time that someone had been able to hit him hard in the ass after fighting for so long.
The two were laughing and talking, and Comoso had already walked over seriously, bowed and said, "Master, here is your invitation... ”
