Chapter 15: The Principal's Speech

"Everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The elegant man stood on the platform and spoke after everyone looked at him: "Today is a festival worth celebrating, under the cultivation of the loyal and diligent faculty and staff of the academy, another batch of outstanding young people of the empire are full of wings and are about to leave the campus. Some of you will be going on to further your education at institutions such as the Supreme Military, Magical, or Commercial Academy. Others will immediately devote themselves to their own careers, and immediately begin to fight for the rise of the empire and their own ideals. ”

There were no bright openings, but it was the first time that many of the students had heard the Emperor speak so closely, and they all watched excitedly as the man waited for the following, and although Rhodes was itchy about Sephes's other plans, he also knew that this was not the time to make small talk with his friends, so he had to force himself to endure it.

"Now, we are entering a new period of history - Midland, the birth of this vast new empire is a thing of the past, and existence is a reality, but it will take the efforts of this and every future generation to continue its rise and maintain its strength......" Emperor Kell paused, glanced around the auditorium, and suddenly radiated a strange look in his eyes: "I, you call it the Emperor. But I say that the 'emperor' is only the representative of the ruler of this country, the spokesman. And the most important people in this country, who made it prosperous - in fact, you! Most of you are just adults, and in the last sixteen years you should have personally felt the innovation of the country's governance, the improvement of the cultural environment, the improvement of the living standards of its citizens, and the increase in power - you are a special generation that witnessed the birth and growth of this empire, and now, the empire is maturing like you, and we are now the strongest country in the Western Continent, but this ...... Is that enough?"

There was a burst of inhalation and whispering in the auditorium, this was not enough? Does His Majesty the Emperor want to overpower the Ericon Empire and become the overlord of the world? It doesn't matter if the common people talk about it after tea and dinner, but when it comes from the mouth of the ruler and in front of so many people, including the future successors of several vassal states, the meaning is completely different!

The emperor is not afraid that outsiders will know about his ambitions and is issuing a declaration of challenge to the world hegemon.

"And if you want this kingdom to continue to be brilliant, it is not something that I, as a representative, can do alone. In front of me is a new generation of young talents from the Empire, and this class of students has produced a record number of students and a record number of perfect marks in all subjects, which is a good sign. You still have a long way to go in life, here, I won't talk nonsense anymore, just as the principal, I wish you to spread your wings and fly high and fight the blue sky!"

His Majesty the Emperor had finished speaking, and without waiting for the audience's reaction, he walked directly down the high platform and walked towards the crowd, while one of the attendants shouted in applause to announce the beginning of the dinner, and the servants lined up to deliver the first batch of dishes, which the invitees could take and taste for themselves.

"Wow, Your Majesty's plan is not small. Sephes watched enviously as the emperor stepped down from the stage, and for a moment felt that the eldest husband should be like this. If he wanted to be emperor, he must first propose to the Duke of Foster and marry his daughter...... In such a promiscuous manner, Emperor Kyle actually walked up to the Duke and Duchess Foster in full view of everyone, and stood beside them and began to talk and laugh like old friends. "Your Majesty is really different from your family, and he actually talks to your parents with a smile...... He usually looks cold even when he sees the prime minister!"

"Uh-huh. Rod didn't care what the emperor said just now, what was he doing at this time, maybe someone in the audience was made enthusiastic by the emperor's call, but he was thirsty for knowledge: "You just said two ways, what else?"

"These two are more than enough for ordinary people, no matter how smart the little fox is, after all, she has never seen the world, and the people in the city have deep routines, she can't see through them. Sepheus said confidently: "You just have to try, you really can't come to me again, but next time I want your sister's underwear." ”

"......" Rhodes rolled his eyes at him and began to think about how to get a demon-suppressing item, thinking as he walked to the long U-shaped table and began to pick something to eat. Unlike most of the people present, the delicacies in front of him are not rare to him, and he can only be glad that the imperial chef is no worse than his own chef's.

He saw crabs, the imperial capital Wenwei was far away from the sea, such a big sea crab was really rare, he took a plate and made some with a fork, and began to eat snacks.

(The Great Magician?The Great Magician is nothing unusual, there are many in the academy, but I have never been interested in magic, and the teachers who teach magic in the academy can hardly name a few names, who to ask for a demon-suppressing item.) If you want to use it against silver, it is best to have necklaces and bracelets and other delicate accessories, and shackles and handcuffs are too exaggerated. )

"Hey, what are you thinking. The auditorium was so bustling that he couldn't notice what was going on behind him, and Rhodes was startled when someone suddenly slapped him from behind.

"Uh-huh......"

"Where are you going after graduation?" said Friss with a happy face, she wore a beautifully made light gold dress today, and the neckline was embellished with small roses, vine leaves, and other patterns, looking gentle and well-behaved, "I want to continue my education...... Otherwise, you'll have to be married and be a noblewoman, uh, you can finish what you eat before you speak. ”

The girl nervously patted Rod on the back, and he swallowed the mouthful of crab meat that almost choked into his trachea with great difficulty, and then he spoke: "Where are I going? I want to ...... Go out on an adventure, see and see the world, it would be better if you could slay a dragon or something by the way, if not, you have to find a wife to come back......"

"Can you not mention slaying dragons, aren't you a child, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Friss made a serious face at him, and was suddenly a little surprised: "Find a wife to come back......?" Isn't there a girl you like here, and you have to go out to find it? Outside the city, there are some village women and rough people, aren't you stupid to read novels, you really think that the poor countryside can produce peerless beauties. ”

"But my parents met during their adventures. ”

"Did your parents meet during the adventure?" the red-haired girl was a little surprised: "Really, what kind of are you looking for?" ”

"It's about the same as my mother, gentle and beautiful. ”

Flossy suddenly became dissatisfied, crossed her arms and pouted, "Am I not gentle and beautiful enough!"

"Can you stop stinky ......?"

"What?"

"Uh...... I mean, you're beautiful, but not gentle enough. ”

"I'm not gentle enough!"

"You're not gentle now, so my mother won't speak as loudly as you do. ”

The girl's face turned red when he said it, and she wanted to continue the argument, but she found that she did not seem to be very gentle at this time, so she had to hold back her words: "Okay, then when are you going to go out--adventure?"

"I'm not ready, it's too hot now, let's talk about it in a month or two, I have to think about it carefully, well, I have to have a plan...... You know, I'm a bit of a loser. ”

"You are self-aware. Friss snorted, "Then I'll go to your manor in two days to escape the heat...... Your family is the last nobleman in Midland, but you actually have a good life but you want to go on an adventure, what a lot of bloody stories!"

The girl says that he is the last true nobleman of Midland, because although the nobility has many privileges in name, a large part of them have to be in their own fiefs or vassals, and all the fiefs of the nobility have been taken back by the emperor, and now all the people in this country are vassals and subjects of the emperor alone...... With the exception of the Fosters, the last exception in this totalitarian state.

"Come, welcome. ”

"Come on your sister, you have to invite me, I don't want to rush over and be an uninvited guest!"

"Okay, okay, I formally invite you to ......"

The two were chatting, but they found that the surrounding environment that was still buzzing and noisy just now suddenly quieted down, and when they looked up, not far away, the emperor, who had been talking happily with his parents, said something with a straight face and Fris's father, the prime minister of the empire, gathered his attention slightly, and Rod could even hear what he said at the moment: "...... I'm not paid for their 'effort', I want results! Before the autumn harvest is over, it must all be figured out!"
