The invitation from the Bundestag had just been successfully passed in front of Su Mu and Su Tong through the legendary butler Adrian.

But only a few hours later, the door to the Imperial Princess's mansion was once again opened.

It's just that this time, instead of someone coming to bother him, it was a Qi-powered limousine carrying Su Mu and Su Tong, which was quietly and slowly sliding out of the mansion.

Facing the upper echelons of the Federation, they were determined about the problem that Su Tong had to face.

At this time, Su Mu still thought of another way of refusal:

"The Federation wants to use my status as an excuse to intervene in the battle for the throne of Longtuo in your name. But on the other hand, if my identity changes, the Federation will lose that excuse completely. ”

Su Mu in the Qi Power Limousine looked at Su Tong with some distress and some weakness, and continued:

"I can't change the fact that I'm from a federal city, but if I don't deny it, I even go one step further and try to enter the circle of federal power. Then you, as a relative of the federal ruler, will immediately lose the possibility of seizing power. ”

Su Mu was slightly distressed, of course, Su Tong was still unable to escape from the whirlpool of power.

And what made him feel equally weak was the next news that he hadn't had time to tell Su Tong:

"As you may recall, it was a force called the Dark Bards that led us into the Abyss of Forsaken before. But what you don't know is that in that absolutely closed environment, Luci and I have reached some kind of agreement with the Dark Bard in order to return safely. ”

"The terms of this agreement are that the Dark Bards will do their best to assist me in my growth, and for myself...... But it needs to enter the core of the Federation's rights as soon as possible, and even directly affect the will of the Federation!"

Although Su Mu didn't know that Huan Yue's last request to Lu Xi.

But just as Su Tong's nominal fiancé, the tacit understanding between Su Mu and Lu Xi became stronger and stronger, and they even accepted the conditions of the dark bard together.

For Su Tong, this still seems to be some kind of silent betrayal.

Not to mention, although no one will take the initiative to mention it now, Su Tong's true heart is undoubtedly aware of Su Mu's thoughts.

......

The Qi-powered limousine that Su Mu and the others rode eventually came to a huge compound isolated from the Northern Magic Academy.

Although the highest institution in the entire federation, it is naturally the prestigious Northern Academy of Magic.

But as spellcasters are rare, most aspiring young people are not only unable to use magic, but they are also unable to attend the Northern Academy of Magic.

Therefore, in order to allow the talents in the federation to still grow to the maximum, even the Northern Magic Academy, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has still opened a branch school dedicated to cultivating melee characters:

Northern Academy of Magic, Knight Branch.

Although Su Mu had always been physically and mentally busy before, he actually didn't really forget the desolate girl Mao Nier who was arranged by Su Tong to help him enroll in the knight's branch.

With the Qi power limousine, it slowly rolled into the interior of the Knight's Chamber.

A group of faculty members and presiding officers of the branch have greeted them with great enthusiasm.

Even though the Knight's Branch is nominally part of the Academy of Magic, the status of the Knight's Branch is obviously far inferior to that of the Academy of Magic.

Faced with the arrival of the imperial princess, the knight branch naturally immediately showed great enthusiasm.

However, when Su Tong gently pulled Su Mu out of the limousine, there was still a figure that the two of them were particularly familiar with in front of Su Mu and the others.

Hubert, the commander of the Fifth Cavalry of the Hanging Mountain Cavalry Regiment, is here today as well.

And seeing the arrival of Su Mu and the others, Hubert was even more surprised and slightly puzzled, looked at the expressions of Su Mu and Su Tong, and subconsciously asked Su Mu:

"You ...... You're here for that desolate girl you brought?"

......

Hubert, as the cavalry commander of the elite corps of the Federation, the reason why he came to the Knight Branch was naturally to select talents suitable for joining the federal army.

Like the major families and consortia, they are eagerly concerned about the new students of the Academy of Magic.

Hubert actually had a very detailed understanding of the knightly candidates who had entered the Knight Wing this year.

Among all the freshmen enrolled this year, the most surprising and unexpected one was a transfer student introduced by the princess of the empire, a desolate girl named Mao Nier.

But for Hubert's question, Su Mu did not affirm or refute, but just looked at Hubert with a strange smile, and then said softly:

"If I'm not mistaken, today also happens to be the Cadet Exchange Day of the Knight Branch. The most urgent thing for us now is to immediately go to the training ground to observe. After all, if you miss out on talents worthy of attention, you, the recruitment manager of the Hanging Mountain Corps, will also feel extremely tricky. ”

For Su Mu's attitude that he was still familiar with under his reputation, Hubert was indeed slightly pleased.

However, while relieved, Hubert was even more stunned to find that Su Mu actually didn't say his purpose at all. It's just vague and general, and it is proposed to go to the training ground to observe the exchanges between students.

And at the moment when Hubert was slightly stunned, Su Mu had already turned around with Su Tong.

I went straight to ...... A training ground for new knights to communicate.

......

The training ground of the Knight Branch is actually larger than that of the Academy of Magic in terms of the scale of the field.

After all, the lower limit of the cultivation of fighting skills is undoubtedly much lower than that of complex magic.

Therefore, those who can enter by virtue of fighting skills are far more than those who are admitted by magic.

However, in stark contrast to the grand scene in the magic academy a week ago, in the huge training ground observation seats, there were only sparsely seated less than a hundred observers at this time.

And most of these few eighty or ninety people are still from second- and third-tier families and consortia.

Because of the first-line families and consortia, although it is difficult for them to find the top mages, it is still not an extremely difficult thing to cultivate knights with sufficient strength.

Only second- and third-tier forces, which even knights can't cultivate on their own, will also look at this branch.

Even for these second- and third-tier forces, the biggest competitor they want to recruit knight cadets is not at all those other forces.

On the contrary, it is bound to come here every year to recruit elite soldiers...... The major corps of the Federation.

As Su Mu and Su Tong were not noticeable at all, they had already come to a position on the opposite edge of the training ground and sat down, and Hubert also sat on the side without any emotion.

And Hubert, who saw that Su Mu didn't want to say it frankly, stopped studying it at this time.

On the contrary, he was very interested, and introduced the forces in the field to Su Mu:

"Those second- and third-tier families and consortia, of course, don't need the two of you to pay attention, and now the only ones who are really worthy of your understanding are the recruits of the major corps like me. ”

Hubert said as he pointed out the mighty and urbane knights in the other corners.

Then it was extremely detailed, and introduced to Su Mu in turn:

"The guy who sat straight was in the habit of riding horses all year round. As for his origin, he is naturally the only pure cavalry regiment and blade forest corps among the four major corps. It is said that the origin of their name is precisely because of the group's charge to stand like a forest, and then there is the name of 'blade forest'. ”

Not far from him, the one who was leaning on the guardrail at random was the Flames Regiment from one of the four major legions. The legion was a product of the new federal system, a legion built entirely around alchemical weapons. Compared to the other legions, they did not attach so much importance to the personal realm, but required proficiency in the use of alchemy. ”

"As for the last one, a strong man as strong as a bull, he is the commander of the Stormtroop you have ever met. Compared with several other legions with their own strengths, the Storm Corps is undoubtedly the most orthodox and retro traditional corps, and it is also the largest main garrison force in the entire Federation. ”

Hubert said this, and then he retracted his gaze and looked at Su Mu again.

"As for me, of course you're more familiar with it. I am the last of the four major corps of the 'Wind Forest Volcano', a cavalry commander of the Hanging Mountain Corps. ”

"So...... Are you really ready to snatch people from us?"
