Chapter 16: The Dead Old Man

The white king leaned against the window, squinting at the sun in the distance, the sun was scattered into seven colors under the dew condensed by the eyelashes, and the index finger of his right hand quietly swayed from side to side, and the white king withdrew his body, which was regarded as greeting the sun he hadn't seen for a long time.

All along, the White King has high expectations for the knight's oath, hearing the name is very high, and can make all kinds of strange things, such as Gagorio, the starry sky dragon, don't say to see, the White King has never heard of it before, at most in this life is to guard the entrance of the village, the men in the village take advantage of the sunset, carrying the fruits of the day's hunting on their shoulders, the smoke rises from the house, and the meat roasted on the stove is all the other species he has seen in this life except humans.

But it seems that these knights are not very rich, and they don't need to ask for a grand ceremony to treat him, a young man with facial paralysis, but you should be too much to use a carriage on your way.

The White King rolled over, sat down at the front of the carriage, patted the coachman on the shoulder, and asked, "Sir, can you ask what the knight's oath is?" ”

The carriage departed at night, and the coachman was a little tired, so he rubbed his eyes and glanced behind him, "Didn't your family tell you? The knight's oath is also relatively famous in the upper class." ”

"I don't have a high status in the family, I was purely forced, but no one told me much. "The White King didn't want to spend too much time explaining.

"Oh. The coachman nodded, the whip in his hand struck the horse's back with a 'snap', and the wind slid on both sides of the carriage more quickly, "In the final analysis, the knight's oath is a place to cultivate talents for some famous families, they send people, we train for them, before this will sign a death agreement, regardless of the life and death of those who take the exam, every knight who graduates will be respected by many people." ”

"What do you get paid for the knight's vow?"

"Reward?" said the groom smiled, and when he saw the long street ahead, and the magnificent walls with no end in sight on either side, he lit a cigarette and enjoyed the smell of burning tobacco in his lungs.

"The task we received after the exam is our reward, not to mention ······" The groom was about to speak, and suddenly gagged his mouth with a cigarette holder to restrain himself from continuing.

"Hey······ It's almost there, get ready to wake up that big man. ”

Seeing that the groom did not continue, the white king also turned around and chose not to ask more.

The Titan's snoring was louder than the sound of horses' hooves, and the White King held his head in his hands, his eyes empty.

The knight's oath is definitely not so simple, how can the so-called task be the reward they want? That is really too kind, and the white king guesses that an organization like the knight's oath should be the only one in this world, at least in this continent, and it has formed a monopoly.

But what is he, what is the White King, and what is the value? The White King himself does not know, and now he directly kicks his legs and jumps out of the window, even if he smashes a hole in the ground, no one will care about him, and the groom will spit on disgusted saliva and say, "If you want to get out, get out!"

But he was still recruited, and within a few days he became a white knight, and the white king once suspected that the examiner was serious about releasing water, but he had a reason to release the water, and the white king had the value of their use.

Even including Yitian, who is carrying a giant sword, the white king doesn't believe that the reality will be so cute, and the beauties of the city and the country have no reason to come to help him, although the white king is a little handsome, and the size of the guy under the crotch is reasonable, but who is that woman, it is estimated that with a hook of her fingers, Xiaosheng, who is ten million times better than herself, is willing to kiss her shoes.

Thinking of this, the white king's eyes froze.

That makes sense, whenever a knight is born, that knight itself is the reward of the organization, and the so-called mission is just a front that conceals some of their purposes.

As for what the purpose is, the white king is too lazy to think about it, and what can he do if he knows it, or go with the flow.

Suddenly, the huge momentum caused the white queen's back to slam heavily on the back of the chair, and the scenery outside the window began to stand still, and there were more people of all kinds.

"Wow! something!" the Titan was awakened by the sudden brakes, but the White King ignored it, and the sight outside the window caught his gaze.

When he was in the village, the White King thought about what the world would be like, it would be big, tall buildings would fill the streets, everyone was talking about things they didn't understand, people should also get up and return late, they must have never seen the clothes they were wearing, and countrymen like themselves would hide in unnoticed corners, envying their busy lives.

The trade between people in the city is definitely an unimaginably large number, and there are dizzying exotic beasts and strange things that will subvert their worldview.

But when he really saw it, the white king found that his imagination was still not enough, even if he magnified what he thought ten times, he couldn't describe the exaggeration in front of him.

The groom turned his head with a smile on his face, and that smile was showing that the huge city in front of him belonged to him.

"Welcome to the Imperial Capital of the South. ”

"Woo······"

The long trumpet whistled from the sky to the top of the White King's head, running through the soles of his feet, goosebumps, every hair trembled, and the White King couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage, his petrified body smaller than an ant in front of the mountain-like city wall.

The huge gate rubbed against the bluestone ground, and the solemn face in the center of the gate was pulled open to both sides, and the white king seemed to go back in time, sitting on the top of the mountain and watching the sun emerge in the sky, only this time he finally approached the sun closely.

When they could pass the distance of one person, the neat and orderly honor guards came out in order, wearing red clothes under the silver-white armor, the hats were triangular, and the horns pointed upwards, until there were nearly a thousand people standing on both sides of the city gate, all the honor guards raised the accessories on their waists diagonally, and their solemn expressions were more serious than the carved stone statues, and after them, they could thoroughly see the scenes that shocked the white king from the wide open city gate.

Then one after another of blue-brown reptiles sprang out, looking like large lizards, the size of a whole carriage, with a single horn on their heads, their eyes spaced apart, their uneven heads like uncarved stones, their mouths wide open, and the trombone sound coming from the bottomless mouths.

"The Badon beast is the most commonly used ceremonial beast in various countries, and I once raised this creature, not to mention how cute it is. The groom patted the White King on the shoulder behind him, smiled and said, "It's just that they can't see the front, otherwise they will be able to go to war." ”

The White King turned around, and the groom looked mysterious, as if to say: "Boy, don't think you can fool me.

The White King shrugged, knowing that he had failed to pretend to be a city man, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and every time he glanced at the behemoth made of stones in front of him, it was a thunderbolt that blasted into his body.

"Okay, haven't seen enough, the honor guard will be closed for a while, if you want to see wait here every morning, report to the Dubo Academy as soon as possible, some old guys there are very troublesome, can't wait if you don't see the sun?"

Horses' hooves are on the ground, black birds are flying in the sky, the clouds are all endless, and there are young men the size of sand and dust standing by the city wall.

Vatican 3019 June 1, summer.

The cause and effect of history and the strife of the nations have begun in a major way.

······

In the dark yellow classical study, the White King, the Titan, the Groom and the two silver-haired old men sat opposite each other, the White King and the Titan were wearing college clothes, white shirts, black and gold suits, with a swallowtail hanging behind them, a gold bow tie with a frosted face on the neckline, and a knight's medal pinned to the chest. The white king had to admire the tailor who cut this suit, he had never met, he didn't know the measurements of the two at all, but the clothes were just right, and the white king, who was not unexpected, found himself very handsome for the first time.

"L'Aquila, don't pick your nose in front of the students. "Don't scare the two knights away. ”

L'Aquila withdrew his hand and combed the silver-white ponytail on his back, the two looked about the same age, but L'Aquila used to be a student of Professor Otto, directly under the alchemy department, and he was also an alchemy maniac, although he was not as good as the old pervert of Gusol, but it was more than enough to stay in the Dubo Academy to teach.

"What do you drink, tea, coffee, or a little spirit?" said Otto, smiling, his face like a breeze blowing through the spring rice fields, "but my suggestion is wine, strong enough, and for the sake of the knight's medal, I have offered the Bablan wine from the old bottom." ”

It's Barron again. Bai Wang felt that he really needed to enrich his knowledge, otherwise he wouldn't be able to understand what others were saying.

"Barron wine, I haven't drunk it for a long time, so I'm in trouble with Professor Otto. The groom rubbed his hands together, full of interest, and the Titans were shy and asked for nothing.

Otto looked at the White King, his eyes narrowed into a line, and the White King realized that the old man was so scary when he stared at a person, he didn't want to be stared at for longer, so he hurriedly said, "Me too." ”

"Yes, my knights. Alto clapped his hands out, "L'Aquila, go! Don't keep the knight waiting! Also, my knight is not your guinea pig, don't add your alchemy potion to it!"

"I heard it, I heard it. L'Aquila didn't tire of it, waving his hand and walking out.

The white king finally understood why the merchants who had come to the village in the past would make money by any means, with money they could have everything they wanted, the dark red sofa under the old man's buttocks in front of him, the exquisite crystal chandelier hanging in the study, you could know at a glance that it was a sky-high mural, with money you can smash them at will, and even listening to the sound of the door closing from the sunken wood is enjoyable.

"Tell me about it. Alto stood up, patted the folds of his clothes, and said, "Otto Horado, a professor in the Department of Alchemy Theory and Practice of Dubo College, you can usually call me Professor Alto. ”

"As an academy that is legal and cooperates with the government of the southern country, when the southern country made the imperial capital a subordinate capital, the Dubo College rose up in response to the call and has been committed to providing the best education, cultivating high-quality and extraordinary talents for the country, and sowing the seeds of possibility for their future lives, whether they can bear fruit depends on whether they can swing a hoe. ”

"The college is a four-year system, and the graduation examination is extremely strict, and less than 10% of the students who can successfully graduate each year are ······ You have to think about it. ”

"Do you want to stay in our school, or do you want to escape?" said Otto, with his legs staggered and nonchalantly, but anyone could tell that if you dared to refuse, the old man would be blatantly insulting you.

"Let's just say what we can learn here. "The White King really wants to say that your kind face is in vain, and the agitation on the bright side is the most irresistible.

"Look, what do I say, I shouldn't ask that kind of question that I shouldn't ask, but there are two knights standing in front of me, and it's an insult to them for me to ask. Otto patted his head in a 'sudden realization', not to mention how much he regretted it, put his hand into his arms, took out a pack of hot gold cigarettes, and gestured to the groom.

"Thank you. The groom took one out of the box, took out a fiery red stone that he had brought with him, rubbed the cigarette butt on it, and the cigarette butt immediately lit it.

"What about you, big man?"

"No! no!" the Titan waved back and refused, to be honest, he wanted to taste it, but he was shy by nature, and this character was ingrained in his bones.

"What a good boy, the knight shines even more because he has you. "Otto's scene is very reasonable, and the professor of alchemy has really wasted this eloquence," but I don't know if I have the honor of letting this knight smoke one cigarette as a sign of my abrupt apology. Otto stood up, his face sincere.

Looking at Otto, who was close at hand, the White King tried his best to suppress his hand from fanning it. "If you say that, I'll forgive you. In the same tone as him, the White King took out one, took the groom's flint, and lit the cigarette.

The smoke rolls like a ghost, from the mouth to the trachea to the lungs, and the ghost unleashes hypnotic magic in the lungs, and the white king is drowsy.

The delightful sound of the sunken wooden door sounded again, and L'Aquila came in with a large round barrel framed three times in gold, and it looked sturdy enough that L'Aquila's face almost said, 'You old man makes me so tired.'

L'Aquila poured the wine into three glasses, held one up herself, and handed the other two to the White King and the groom.

"?"

"It's done. The groom smiled and motioned, and the White King followed their wind, pouring the whole glass of wine into his throat.

The White King felt that he should set up a festival today to commemorate his two firsts on the same day, and the feeling of being comfortable and fluttering like a fairy was once felt that he was floating in the clouds.

"Dubo College has always focused on cultivating students' qualities and abilities. Otto swallowed a sip of wine, the spicy and sweet liquid stimulated his taste buds, smacked his tongue, and said, "Tobacco and alcohol are absolutely not allowed to be touched, L'Aquila!"

"I'm ······"

"Deduct two credits for our knight as a warning, and there will be another ······" Otto secretly raised an eyebrow at the White King, and the corners of his mouth, which were covered by the cup, curved in a huge arc.

"No toleration!"
