Chapter 184: Abandoning Identity
readx;
All three of them immediately gathered around and read the letters carefully. All www.biquge.info letters express the same meaning, that is, they want to gain Avi's favor.
"This... It's incredible that the eldest prince Bradley would be willing to recruit you to be his subordinate," Van said, looking at Bradley's autograph.
Stitch took the letter from the second prince, Amsol, "Look at this, Ansoil said that he could give Avi the power to manage a certain block, and that block was mostly inhabited by the people of the Oguna Empire. β
Everyone found that although these positions were not very important, they were not positions that should be filled by an Imperial teenager who had just entered the Kestrel Academy. The head of the house, Dugol, once told all the new students that after graduating from the Kestrel Academy, there was a very good chance that they would be assigned to various positions in the Kingdom of Salins. However, it was obviously extremely rare for a freshman from another country to receive such an invitation at this time, and Avi's performance and achievements in the academy were not enough to prove that he had this ability.
Avi didn't reply to anyone, trying to figure out why he had suddenly received so many job offers. Although the invitation of the eldest prince Bradley was tempting, Avi, who had just returned from the hospital, was obviously still in a state of confusion and could not understand the current situation.
So on the first day of Avi's return to school, he took the letters and walked to the room of the head of the house, Dugol.
"Avi, do you know why you yourself got so many invitations?" Before meeting the head of the house, history teacher Rost first found Avi.
"I want to know why, too!" As soon as Avi returned to the Kestrel Academy, many of his classmates pointed at him, and the other students were all looking at Avi, whispering, "What happened? Why is it in the spotlight?"
"That's because you've killed a great deal of people, and you're an important person in your own country," Rost said with a soft sigh, "and all that has happened to you, but in fact, all the things that have to do with you are in the eyes of the officials of Mallot. β
"Awesome people, are they the three raiders from the Oguna Empire?"
Rost nodded, and he told Avi that the knight was no ordinary knight, but the deputy head of a branch of the Imperial Knights. The East Oguna Empire has an Imperial Order belonging to the capital Grinko, which is very religious and is the most powerful order in the East Oguna Empire. They had branches in all major cities, and the man who was killed by Avi was the deputy head of the Golden Hoof branch. In addition to this deputy commander, there was also an adjudicator Wood, who was directly subordinate to the gendarmerie unit. These two men were not low in status and status, but they came all the way here, and they were killed by Avi "by chance", and King Byron had begun to pay attention to this matter.
Avi, who was stunned, did not expect this incident to alarm the king, and he suddenly developed a fear, a fear that he would be taken away for a secret investigation.
"Counting all the things that happened to you before, those officials who are in the know have reached a unanimous opinion, that is, you, Avi, are a very special person. β
Avi was stunned and pointed his finger at himself, "I'm a special person?"
"That's right, now you've overshadowed the rebellious Silanes and the Academy Ghost in the limelight at the Kestrel Academy, and become the focus of this military academy," Rost looked around for a moment before he continued, "and there are some officials who know about your relationship with Miss Christine." β
Avi, who was startled, was speechless for a while, he should have thought that his meeting with Kesi would be noticed by someone who cares, who would have thought that this matter had reached the ears of his teacher.
"Miss Christine and I... It's just an ordinary classmate relationship. β
"As a teacher, of course I believe you, but... But now, including all the students of the Kestrel Academy, everyone is speculating about the special relationship between you and Christine, and various rumors have appeared, I hope Avi can deal with these troublesome things as soon as possible, put your mind back on studying, and don't waste your hard-won degree and talent. β
Avi walked into the headmaster's room after saying goodbye to Rost, and as soon as Dugol saw Avi, he immediately stood up and took Avi's hand, "Avi, you are really the pride of the Kestrel Academy! Do you know? The eldest prince praised your performance and contribution by name in front of King Byron and his courtiers, as a freshman from the Academy of the Oguna Empire, you have become the center of attention, and in time, everyone in Mallote will know you!"
Avi was not fluttered by Dugor's flattering words, but rather flattered.
"The Great Prince... The eldest prince mentioned me in front of the king?"
"Solved the bandit leader in the Czeth mud area, successfully obtained a degree from the Kestrel Academy as a guard, tied with Princess Winlith's sword competition, discovered the dirty conspiracy of the White Orphanage, and escaped death many times... Moreover, this time he also killed three attackers of unknown purpose, and these things have already reached the ears of King Byron, if not for the praise of the eldest prince himself, you will stand out among the hundred new students. Dugol's small, bean-like eyes were blocked by the moon-like eyelids, and Avi couldn't tell the true meaning of these words from the other party's eyes.
"But these things... I... So what should I do now?"
"Of course, you will continue to stay in the Kestrel Academy for further study!" Du Gore took out a fan to fan himself, "Although you have become a rising star now, as the head of the Kestrel Academy, I still hope that you can continue to study hard, and convince everyone with more and better performances, so that they can believe that a young man from an ordinary background from another country can also contribute his own strength to the Kingdom of Salins! and even set an example for other imperial people in our country..."
"What... Contribute to the kingdom of Salins... Strength?" Avi interrupted Dugol.
Dugor's mung bean-like eyes appeared from his eyelids, and he glanced at Avi, and his tone changed abruptly, "Avi, you should know that all the students in the Kestrel Academy are reserve talents of the Salins Kingdom, and the teaching purpose of the Kestrel Academy is to cultivate a group of outstanding talents to serve the Salins Kingdom," Dugor's tone became a little heavier," Of course, we all know that you are originally from the Oguna Empire, but you have killed the deputy head of the knights and the inquisitor from the Oguna Empire with your own hands, and the Oguna Empire can no longer tolerate you, so you can only change your face with us and start your life again. β
Avi knew that it was impossible for him to return to Golden Hoof City, where Avi had long since died in the "Judgment of Justice". But unfortunately, the fact that he escaped has already been known to Daron, and I am afraid that even after completing the accompanying mission, it will be difficult for Avi to return to Sky City and return to live in the Oguna Empire.
Avi also probably understood the explicit hint of the head of the house. He started out as just an inconspicuous aristocratic guard, and with his own efforts, he obtained a degree from the Kestrel Academy. However, this military academy was an academy for the kingdom of Salins, and as a native of the Oguna Empire, Avi was seen as an outlier in the eyes of all the teachersβan outlier who could become a power for other nations. Only Mr. Rost was willing to give his money, and most of the other teachers had reservations about Avi. However, after this incident, even the eldest prince Bradley recommended himself to the civil and military officials in the palace, and he also broke the last obstacle - giving Avi the opportunity to abandon his imperial status and serve the kingdom.
Thinking about it like this, Avi understood why he was invited to those low-level positions, it was just to buy people's hearts, in addition to Avi's experience and ability, he also valued Avi's identity as a "traitor to the empire".
In the face of Avi's silence, Dugol had already put away his initial smile, and the head of the house had tentatively probed Avi's political leanings in the conversation just now, and Avi had already sensed this.
"Since I have joined the Kestrel Academy, I will always be a student of the Kestrel Academy," Avi said as he recalled his mother's face, Farrell's and Daron's faces, Miss Delia and Miranda's, "From now on, I will contribute my own strength, and the Kingdom of Salins is my country!"
"Good. Dugol smiled with satisfaction.
For a long time after leaving the dean's room, Avi was thinking back to what he had just said to Dugol - if he didn't say that, would he see himself as a vacillating speculator, would he be arrested and interrogated by Mallot's officials?
But is this a disobedience?
No, not against your will.
Avi, standing next to a tree, looked at the sky, the sky of the Kingdom of Salins, where he was respected and recognized, which was not found in the Golden Hoof City, because he was only a white-eyed horseman there. If his mother has really passed away, what reason do he have to go back to Golden Hoof City?
The country that has been unfair to itself has not given itself the justice it deserves, but this kingdom is completely different, there are people who appreciate it, there are colleges willing to educate it, there are leaders who identify with it, and these reasons are enough to give up the original identity.
Felisty walked quietly, "What are you thinking so insently?"
"No... Nothing. Avi's thoughts immediately returned, and every time the red-haired girl appeared, she put a lot of pressure on herself.
Felisti looked at the letters in Avi's hand, then at Avi's eyes, "Do you think you're smart enough?"
"Of course not... I can only be regarded as very average, compared to Fan... And you. β
"Then keep one thing in mind - only those who have been with you for a long time and are genuinely good to you can be trusted, and the other smiling faces may just be used by masks!"
