Chapter 6: Lei Chun's News
When it was time for dinner, Lei Ming pulled Li Hao back to the hut, and shouted grandpa in the distance. Lei Fu heard the shouting, so he took the last dish that had just come out of the pot to greet them. "Uncle, just go in, let's come here, it's windy at night, don't come over." Li Hao held Lei Ming's little hand while hurriedly swinging his other hand at Lei Fu with an eager expression.
"It's okay, my old bones are still very strong, let's go back to the house for dinner. As he spoke, Lei Fu had already stepped closer, touched Lei Ming's little face, and walked into the house together.
"Uncle, I just discussed it with Lei Ming, during my time here, I taught Lei Ming martial arts, well, magic is also fine, do you think it's okay?" Li Hao asked Lei Fu in a low voice while fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks.
Lei Fu didn't speak for a while, Li Hao lowered his head, and he couldn't see Lei Fu's face, but his heart kept sinking.
Sure enough, Lei Fu still asked, "How is Lei Chun lately? Why hasn't he come back?" Lei Fu didn't answer Li Hao, as if he suddenly remembered to ask an irrelevant question.
Li Hao's hand froze, and he hesitated to answer, "Lei Chun has a task to perform recently, and he can't go home, so he specially asked me to come back to help on his behalf." ”
Lei Fu didn't make any moves, but continued to ask, "What kind of mission, how long will you be back?"
Li Hao finally raised his head at this time and looked directly into Lei Fu's eyes. Half-ringing, pleasant but serious voice sounded, "Uncle Lei Fu, that's right, Lei Chun recently served as the deputy of Lin Yuan, a direct descendant of the Lin family, and followed the mission to represent the Harlem Empire and envoy to the Holy Empire. I was supposed to go, but after debate and competition..... He was more convincing than me, and took the initiative to ask the Lin family to become the deputy envoy, and at the same time, my family made a lot of efforts to make me go, so this matter finally fell on Lei Chun. Li Hao touched his face as he spoke, as if he recalled a certain painful part.
The Holy Empire, from the first year of the Sacred Calendar to the present day in the year 2123 of the Sacred Calendar, has been the most powerful empire. There are even many ancient legends that all the countries on the continent originally belonged to the Holy Empire. In the year 1235 of the Sacred Calendar, which was later called the Sacred Low Tide Period, the Holy Empire became weak and did not care much about the tribute of the various kingdoms, and many kingdoms on the mainland began to become independent one after another, and after hundreds of years of mutual conquest in the low tide period, there was today's era of the Three Kingdoms.
However, starting in the year 2000, the Holy Empire began to change differently, and although no wars were initiated, the regulations, laws, and attitudes towards other empires began to change significantly. How to describe it, it seems that the owner seems to have forgotten that there are still some cats and dogs at home, but somehow suddenly remembered it again, and naturally found the original leash, so that these cats and dogs obediently came over and shook their heads and tails.
But the current empires, but they are all the royal family with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military ministers, it is the empire established by the expansion of the kingdom, and now they are accustomed to equal treatment in the attitude towards the Holy Empire, where will they get into those leashes? This is the current situation, most of the nobles also know how much, but Li Hao now does not know whether to explain it to Lei Fu or not.
On the one hand, I was worried that Lei Fu was old and shouldn't worry too much, and on the other hand, I felt that I shouldn't hide the truth, so I didn't say it until now, and I didn't know how to say it.
"Holy Empire, the capital of the country is in the center of the continent, the holy city of Babylon, then it will take at least 3 years to go back and forth, and this is when His Majesty the Emperor does not want to go to war. Lei Fu's voice was obviously no longer as smooth as before, but he was not as panicked as he imagined, and most importantly, Li Hao was surprised to find that Lei Fu actually knew the true relationship between Harlem and the Holy Empire! You know, under the peace of Harlem for decades, the people's minds no longer remember the war, and they never thought that there might be a war with the Holy Empire!
"Yes, I lost to Lei Chun because I had no heirs, so the family took care of my emotions and the Lin family also knew that this matter was bad to our brother, so they gave me a long vacation, I can go back to the camp whenever I want, and you must have seen that my family is a subsidiary family of the Lin family, and it is the Li family of the second-class earl family of the empire, so there is nothing in the family that needs me to go back. This is also the last agreement I negotiated with Lei Chun, I have no heirs, and I can't be loyal to the death, so I have the responsibility and obligation to raise Lei Chun's son Lei Ming, Lei Chun agreed to this, so I was allowed to come. ”
Li Hao stopped everything he was doing and looked at Lei Fu very seriously. Lei Fu thought for a while, looked at Li Hao, did not answer Li Hao, and asked out of nowhere, "As far as I know, nobles generally have to know some martial arts and magic, and then study in depth according to their talents?"
"Yes, I know how to do martial arts, martial arts are one-star heaven-level knights, magic is two-star earth-level mages, and martial arts are my talents. Li Hao didn't think about it, and replied quickly.
"Judging from your age, you are indeed a first-class genius in the entire continent, and there are only a dozen heaven-level knights in the entire empire, right?" Lei Fu looked at Li Hao half-jokingly.
Li Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled shyly. "It seems that this is indeed the case, Uncle Lei Fu, how do you know?"
Lei Fu didn't answer, and waved his hand, "Okay, from now on, it's up to you to teach Lei Ming, but in terms of weapons, he can't learn anything else, only bows and arrows!"
Li Hao didn't notice that Lei Fu skipped his question, but thought that he had heard it wrong, and hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't hold back, "Uncle, what did you say? Although the knight must be good at riding and archery, no one uses a bow and arrow in the main weapon, so in the future, although the martial arts energy has gone up, it is impossible to pass the rating!"
"As far as I know, the martial arts assessment level is divided into three parts, energy rating, martial arts assessment, and martial arts knowledge assessment. Although there is currently no bow and arrow martial arts assessment, that is because there is no bow and arrow martial arts to be taught, so there is no way to assess, but as long as you defeat a knight who is more than one level higher than your own assessment standard, you will inevitably pass with full marks, and you can pass directly if you pass two of the three assessments. Why, you, a genius young man, are afraid that you won't be able to teach well?"
Li Hao was really completely stunned this time, judging from this day's contact, Lei Fu should be an authentic farmer. After chatting for a while at night, why did I suddenly feel that I could completely deny my judgment. Not only is it clear that so many ordinary people can't know it, but also how to use the rules and break the loopholes of the rules are found in such detail.
Li Hao didn't dare to treat him as an ordinary person anymore, and said cautiously, "Uncle, what you said is right, but why do you have to learn the bow and arrow from Lei Ming? This is not a bright profession, and even I can't find the high-level martial arts of the bow and arrow to teach him, so after reaching the prefecture level, how to practice Lei Ming's martial arts, I can't give any help at all, and it can even be said that there is no family on the mainland that can find such resources." Li Hao's expression is no longer as euphemistic as before, the meaning is very clear, there is no previous learning, completely rely on oneself to comprehend, this is the most difficult road that everyone on the continent knows, and it is also the reason why ordinary people can never break through to become high-level knights or mages. This is the chasm that all commoners and nobles on the continent can never cross. And Li Hao didn't understand why Lei Fu knew these things but still didn't use them with great resources, and chose such a seemingly infinitely dark path.
Lei Fu looked at Li Hao's eager and cautious expression, smiled, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know that magic can be used on bows and arrows?" Magic arrows can not only ignore the knight's physical defense, but also make it impossible for mages to dodge with archery skills. ”
Li Hao was already speechless in surprise, he was not stupid himself, he couldn't guess at this time, and it was impossible to deserve the title of "genius". "You, you're a high-level mage?"
"Yes, Saint-level one-star mage Lei Fu" Lei Fu calmly told the truth
