Chapter 229: The Distinction Between Noble and Inferior
After a busy day and a half, Jiao Ming finally returned to the small castle belonging to the crocodile territory located outside the capital of the Blue Python Kingdom, it was not yet noon at this time, compared to rushing to the academy to cancel the vacation, lazy for half a day was obviously a more comfortable choice.
Jiao Ming first slept until noon, and after eating a big meal, he felt that the wound on his arm was itchy and unbearable, and untied the wrapped strip of cloth, but was surprised to find that the wound that was originally deep and visible was only a day, but it had healed to a depth of only two or three centimeters, and the exposed granulation was still shaking with the heartbeat. I can't tell if this is a normal phenomenon for magic warriors, so I quickly found the left-behind eight-ring magic warrior for advice.
"This kind of healing power is also outstanding in the Six Rings, it's a pity that you don't cultivate magic warriors with the talent of the Six Rings Water System. ”
"Look, what you said, isn't the role of my qi system greater?" Jiao Ming said with a smile.
The old man, who had been going back and forth to the crocodile collar many times in the name of experiments, scratched his head and nodded in agreement, but smacked his lips and muttered pity.
After school, Jiao Ming hugged Binglian and Xiaoshi cordially, and then took out the gift consigned by Shining Scale's mother and gave it to Shining Scale, and explained the reason clearly.
"I'll just say how can you give me something. Flashing scales gestured a few times with the short blade, and then used his arm to make a sound of breaking the wind, winning the surprised and envious eyes of the friends around him. Satisfied with the trial, Shining Scale smiled happily, and then said to Jiao Ming insincerely: "Thank you!"
"According to Ling Tang, this sword was captured by a magic warrior who cultivated both water and qi systems, and there are many other wonderful uses, such as this...... "Jiao Ming took the short blade and cast the qi magic, allowing the short blade to pass through the spatial passage and stab out of thin air from a meter away. "Before this year's Autumn Harvest Celebration, you will have to at least learn this hand, and the Lingtang will check it at that time. ”
Flashing Scales was stunned at first, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a way to play, but when he heard the end, he suddenly made a bitter face. Jiao Ming remembered the tigress's style, and suddenly felt that it was not easy to be a husband and a daughter, and he didn't want to fall into the well to ridicule the scales for a few words, so he sent back the short blade and said: "That's it, good luck." ”
"Please send it back, saying I don't want it, okay?"
"I don't care, but when it comes to the autumn harvest celebration, you're afraid you're going to be worse than learning. Jiao Ming smiled secretly and stretched out his hand at the same time, as if he had promised this. Flashscale was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around to protect the shortblade, grimacing and running away.
After a sumptuous dinner, it was naturally the time for Jiao Ming and Binglian to spend alone. Straight to the point, Binglian asked how safe the teleportation circle was, and whether it could achieve teleportation with little or no injury.
"After this upgrade, both sides are the latest version of the circle, although it is theoretically safer, but it still needs to be verified in practice. ”
Binglian nodded, and asked about the situation at the forefront again. Jiao Ming recounted what he had seen and heard, and finally said, "It's a pity that I didn't see the crocodile duke." ”
Binglian still nodded.
"Why are you in a bad mood?" asked Jiao Ming.
Binglian nodded, then leaned over and began to speak slowly.
In the original competition of the gray-robed students, the referees and security were the two seven-ring magicians, who were exposed due to the incident of one death and one injury, and after Binglian's hard persuasion, although it was not promoted to the same configuration as the nineteen rings and one eighteen rings of the nobles' children, it was also upgraded to two eight-rings. And just today, the seriously injured gray-robed student died.
"Serious injuries are incurable?" Jiao Ming asked, but he had already denied this possibility in his heart, and Binglian would not be depressed if it was so simple.
"Suicide. ”
Jiao Ming's heart sank, suicide was a more heavy way to die than killing. "Last words or testament?"
"Neither, but the reason is clear. Binglian seemed to feel cold, and her body squeezed into Jiao Ming's arms. "After so many days of treatment and observation, the wounded person's soul has shown no signs of recovery, and he is still unable to communicate with the magical medium. ”
"Turn back into an ordinary person?" Jiao Ming asked.
Binglian nodded, and continued: "I have visited many times, and as far as I can see, it is not impossible to recover from the wound of his soul, but it has always been in a state of shock, so there is no progress. ”
"We're just students of the academy, so let's not think too much about it since we've done our best. Jiao Ming comforted.
Bing Lian shook her head and said, "The academy doesn't attach much importance to this matter, and from the beginning to the end, it has not sent any earth magicians who can heal soul wounds, and it has sent the injured back to the collective dormitory to rest, not even a single servant. ”
Only then did Jiao Ming remember that there was no health room or school hospital in the college, and it was not as good as Qinglan Academy, although the back door of the school infirmary there was the Dead Soldier Rehabilitation Center. But on the other hand, if the college had not had moral pressure or financial well-off, it could have bypassed this regrettable situation and avoided tragedy. But is it really a better choice to become a puppet who obeys orders to cast spells than suicide? For a moment, Jiao Ming was caught in a self-questioning and answering question.
"If I can have less scruples, send the injured back to the castle, ask Xiaoshi to help, or change the environment, maybe he won't die. Binglian muttered softly, obviously blaming herself for this.
When Jiao Ming helped Binglian deal with the affairs of the student union, he went to the gray-robed student dormitory, a small room for eight people, and the wooden bed with bunk beds was very cramped and depressing, and it was indeed not suitable for recuperation. And in the process of getting along, I also found that although they are all from a bitter background, there are those who value love and righteousness, but there are also many bitter and mean people, and a few derogatory words may force the person who gets into the tip of the horn to die.
"It's never too late to make amends. Next time, I'll invite someone to come over in the name of the student council. ”
Binglian was silent for a long time before she said softly, "Was I too mean to the red-haired friend with flashing scales last time?"
Although Jiao Ming felt this way, he understood that he couldn't say it directly, so he kissed Binglian lightly on the forehead and said, "I can't apply the morality of my hometown to this sinister world, so I can't evaluate it, but I support your decision." ”
There was no more verbal answer, and the figures of the two snuggled disappeared in the quiet night, until Master Emily reminded Jiao Ming that it was time to go to work with a slight spatial fluctuation, and since the last time the two of them were teleported together, Emily had never pulled people directly roughly.
......
The next day in the college, when Jiao Ming was resting before class, he heard two news. One is that Master Keno is about to parade here to give lectures, accompanied by his lustful evaluation. The second is that the suicide of the gray-robed student has finally fermented into the talk of these young ladies, and they don't need to think about it to know that there will be nothing good to say. It's as if they're in a game, with all sorts of elegant and vicious speculation and sarcasm, and every time they reach a new level, they win a burst of chuckles and echoes.
Jiao Ming wanted to vomit when he heard this, and for the first time he was looking forward to the early arrival of the ugly old woman, Ms. Kexi.
At noon, Bing Lian Tie blushed face, and under the inquiry, as expected, he also listened to some disgusting words. In the end, Binglian pinched the wooden chopsticks and gurgled and said in a low voice: "These people are too much." ”
"It's not worth it to be angry. Jiao Ming took a piece of meat and handed it to Binglian's mouth: "Eat meat, instead of being angry now, why don't you think of a way to slap your face and take revenge, and use facts to shut them up." ”
"What do you think?"
Jiao Ming smiled and asked, "Where is the competition between the gray-robed students?"
"The quarter-finals are coming. Binglian's eyes then lit up, her angry look disappeared, and she asked, "Do you want to arrange a fight between the two sides?"
"One is enough. Jiao Ming put up his chopsticks and shook it, but he talked about the big truth seriously: "Everyone is a student of the academy, they are all part of the academy, no matter what they think in their hearts, they all share honor and disgrace in name, so the next time they go out to compete on behalf of the academy, everyone has a share, how can you let the gray-robed students specialize in beauty." ”
Bing Lian blinked her eyes twice and asked, "All the teams will be eliminated together to select the next academy team?"
"Good idea. Jiao Ming was triumphant.
"Impossible. Bing Lian shook her head directly, "If this is the case, where will the nobles' face be placed?" If it arouses the resistance of all the nobles' children, the family elders on the front line of communication will not be able to bear the pressure of feedback. Our headmaster is shrewd enough not to commit such a wrath. ”
Jiao Ming was stunned, bit the head of his chopsticks and groaned for a moment, and asked, "What do you think of what I just said?"
"It sounds grandiose and exciting. But I'm afraid it's useless, the children of the nobility are well-informed, but they are not so easy to incite. ”
"It's man-made, and sometimes a different way of thinking will lead to another path. Jiao Ming smiled and sold Guanzi. Seeing that she was so confident, Binglian pondered for a moment at first, but she didn't guess anything, and unwillingly, she kicked Jiao Ming's calf lightly with her foot and asked about the result.
"A hint to you, please be better than excited. ”
......
In the next few days, a series of rumors gradually spread among the noble students. For example, the high-level of the Magicians Association has been completely disappointed in the noble students of the academy, and the next competition will be played by the gray-robed students, and the recruitment of gray-robed students shows that the school has been prepared for defeat. Another example is that the members of the team of the master-apprentice inheritance party who won the battle drunk and threatened that the academy students were all silver-like pewter spear heads, and if someone asked what this meant, they would be popularized by science what premature ejaculation is. Another example is that a student who has never heard of it has been secretly downgraded by the family because of his poor performance in the competition.
All kinds of information that cannot be verified or falsified are flying around.
And the two masterminds of this matter were glued together, just because they went back and forth between the crocodile collar and the front line at night, and saw their parents and Xia Feng's ice lotus in a good mood, and almost recommended themselves to the pillow.
"How effective are the rumors?"
"It's only half of what I expected. Binglian sat in Jiao Ming's arms, lazy as a cat, although she said bad news, she didn't care at all.
"What about the children of those small families and lords of remote areas?" Jiao Ming asked again. The focus of the next step falls on these people.
"Only 60 percent agree with us. ”
Jiao Minglele armed, jokingly: "Your work status is not right, can't you wait to marry me?"
"yes. Binglian was blunt.
