Chapter 249: Expulsion
readx;
A storm passed lightly, and the two families who had lived in Santis City for a long time were all expelled from the city, and the scene of dragging their children and daughters was indeed a bit bleak, but not many people sympathized with them. Anyone who knows the inside story knows www.biquge.info that the strength of the tribal warriors is similar to that of Santis City, and if there is no saint-level powerhouse to join, Santis City will never be able to win so easily, and I don't know how many people will be destroyed in the war, and those two families go against the trend, triggering a strong rejection from Santis Academy and other families.
And ordinary civilians because of the lack of education, most of them have no vision, the right to speak is in the hands of the nobles, the old man is well-informed, what he said is naturally right, so when the two families left the city of Santis, the people who watched the excitement had a gloating look, of course, this also made the expelled family members more angry and hateful.
As for the movements of the Marquis of Sain, it was a secret between the Dean of Javida and the Marquis of Sain, and it would not be known to outsiders.
The residence of Dio and the others is arranged in the Santis Academy, which is a small building for reading, and standing on the upper floor, you can overlook the whole picture of the Santis Academy.
In fact, it is said that the academy is almost like a small city, and it has everything in it, as long as you are not too picky, then no matter what you want to eat, or what you want to play, you don't have to leave the gate of the academy, you can find it all here.
As a well-known Santis in the northern continent for many years, every building in the academy has been carefully designed, especially the small building where Theo and they lived, the wood used is from a kind of fir wood that is a specialty near the permafrost glacier, this fir wood is not only durable, will not be eroded by wind and rain, and will also emit a faint fragrance in the sun, it is said to have a striking and calming effect, in the south of the continent, a piece of such wood can be sold for thousands of gold coins, usually used to make some smaller pendants or sculptures, but here, it has become a building materialγ
Naturally, Dio and the others didn't know this, they just felt that it was very comfortable, the furnishings in the room were simple and elegant, and the bed was just so soft that people didn't want to get up anymore when they lay on it.
The next morning, Dio got up a little late, and when he walked into the courtyard, he found that Sophia was already dressed and waiting there, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, because Sophia didn't have to deal with the complicated affairs of the barony, so she naturally had more time to sleep, and it was a rare thing to get up so early today.
"Why don't you go up and call me?" asked Dio, smiling, and sat down beside Sophia.
"I'm afraid I'll disturb them. Sophia turned her head to look at Dio: "How was your sleep last night?"
"That's good. There was no perfunctory taste in Dio's words, although Dio usually didn't care too much about the quality of the surrounding environment, whether it was enough to sleep, there was enough place to sleep, but Dio had to admit that it was indeed very comfortable here.
"I knew you would say that. Sophia smiled, "Dean Javida is too good to you, you know, I've never lived here." β
"Well?" Dio noticed that Sophia's eyes revealed a bit of envy, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "It's not so exaggerate......d, right? I've got you figured it out. β
"What is it?" Sophia asked curiously, and then looked at Dio's narrow expression, and immediately realized that she shouldn't ask.
"We're husband and wife, of course we're going to live together, don't you think that? This should be enough reason, right?"
"I didn't think about it......" Sophia took a sip and turned her head away from Dio, but the flush on her neck betrayed her nervousness.
"I didn't think about it before, but it's too late to think about it now, what do you think of my idea?, do you want me to go and talk to Dean Javida?" said Dio with a smile, as if he was not going to let Sophia go.
"No!" Sophia was so anxious that her face flushed, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if Dio really went to talk to Dean Javida like this, it would be too embarrassing...... "No, forget it." Dio's face was full of regret, and then he looked at Sophia: "Why don't you wait until the dead of night to sneak over?"
"I don't!" Sophia glanced at Dio angrily: "You can think of it, how can a girl run into a man's room in the middle of the night?"
"Huh. Dio laughed, but before he could appreciate Sophia's expression, he suddenly noticed something strange behind him, and when he looked back, it was Gordon and Raymond standing in the door dumbfounded, looking incredulous.
Even with the thickness of Dio's face, it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, obviously these two guys heard what they just said.
Sophia was so ashamed that she turned her head to the side, and she almost found a crack in the ground to get into.
Gordon and Raymond gave a thumbs up to Dio in unison, with an admiring expression, and then before Dio was furious, the two of them rushed back to the room like rabbits, and they could vaguely hear the voices of the two deliberately suppressed: "I can't see it......"
"What's that? Are they husband and wife......?"
Gradually, the voices of Gordon and Raymond could no longer be heard, and the courtyard was calm again, but Sophia couldn't calm down no matter what, biting her lip and staring at Dio: "Are you satisfied this time?!"
"......" This time it was Dio's turn to have nothing to say.
Half an hour later, everyone appeared at the table, and although everyone seemed to behave normally, for some reason, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Isabel's gaze swept over the faces of Dio and the others, and it felt strange, as if there was something that everyone knew, but she was the only one who hid it.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Isabel.
"Not really. "Dio is a little depressed, isn't it good to eat your food honestly, and meddle with things.
Sophia couldn't care less about being shy, and immediately raised her head and glared at Gordon and Raymond.
Gordon and Raymond bowed their heads and ate violently under Sophia's threatening gaze, without looking at Isabel.
How could the strange expressions of several people deceive the intelligent Isabel, but since Dio had already said so, she couldn't ask again, so she could only bury her doubts in her heart.
"By the way, I remembered something. Dio suddenly spoke, he had thought of a good way to toss Gordon and Raymond, so that you can do my good deeds, just wait to suffer.
Everyone stopped, waiting for Dio to continue.
"Isabel, are there any taboos for going to Lake Santis to cultivate?"
"There are no taboos, it's just that you can't be strong there, it's not that the longer the better, and holding on can only cause harm to yourself. β
"That's good. Dio nodded and continued, "Shall we go?"
"Absolutely. Isabel smiled, "As long as it's within the jurisdiction of Santis City, you can go wherever you want." β
Dio naturally knew that Isabel's words were equivalent to saying it for Dean Javida, so he smiled gratefully, and then turned to Gordon and said, "Anyway, there is nothing to do with us here, do you want to go there to practice?"
Gordon intuitively felt that Dio was not at ease, but Isabel's words aroused his curiosity: "What does it mean to cause damage? Can you still be injured during cultivation?"
Dio stood up, he was already a little impatient to see the embarrassment of these two guys: "It's not a sparring practice, haven't you been there too, but the environment there is much quieter than other places, which is very suitable for cultivation." β
Gordon and Raymond's eyes lit up suddenly, they had been depressed for a long time, so many superb star fragments were placed in Dio's courtyard, but they could only watch from afar, all because they had not been promoted to the ultimate warrior, and the speed of accumulating source power alone was too slow, it was difficult to break through in a short period of time, of course, Dio's pervert was another matter, Gordon and Raymond had already classified Dio into the ranks of inhuman.
Since Dio said that it was very suitable for cultivation, it must be right to think about it, and it was impossible for Dio to lie to them in this regard.
"Wait a few days, though. Dio paused: "I have something very important to do now, hmm...... Don't come and disturb me. β
"What's the matter?" asked Raymond.
"You'll know later. Dio said softly.
"Mysterious ......," Raymond said dissatisfied, but he didn't continue to ask.
* Under the candlestick, Dio frowned and thought for a while, and for a moment he wrote hard, and Vasily's speech and demeanor over the past few days left him with a sense of foreboding.
With a little leisure, Vasily would find him and talk to him about the Lunaris Empire, some of which were indeed big things, and some of which were trivial, but Vasily took the trouble to explain them clearly and in detail, no matter how big or small. More importantly, Vasily's train of thought should have no main line, one moment talking about the present, the next going back to the past, saying whatever comes to mind.
After finishing speaking, he asked Dio again and again, did he remember it, once or twice was nothing, and after many times, Dio felt very uneasy, could it be that Vasily's physical condition was so bad?
So, Dio knew what he should do, although the tragedy of the destruction of the manor as a child had left a shadow on his heart, but if even an old man like Vasily who had worked so hard and gave everything he could not trust, who else could he trust?
