Chapter 36: Heckling
The next day Leah was still busy at Orwell's mansion, and Age asked her how to get to the Tuckerley mansion before going out on her own. Leah told him not to get into trouble, and although he was still not at ease, he was left to go. She also thought it would be a good idea for Aegie to use Tuckley as the buyer of the Smiling Calyx Demon Crystal Nucleus.
Coming out of the mansion to André Street, at the northern end of the street there is a huge garden-style house, where is the Duke's Palace of Rozerola. The garden behind the Ducal Palace is a castle river. The Castle River is a river that was developed on top of the original natural river at the beginning of the Kingdom of Relia and named the Pisse River.
The Pizza River surrounds the entire city of Caanster, and has become the first guardian of the castle after drainage and development. Standing on the high city walls and looking out, the Pizza River gives a great shock. This is a river, but it is also a small sea, with the epitome of the sea. There are many ships trading in and out of the various waterways, and it is prosperous.
On top of that, there are sometimes several arrogant pirate ships that try to rob merchant ships. Of course, this kind of behavior is extremely stupid, and it is simply self-defeating to dare to rob in the Pisse River.
Following the route given by Leah, Edge quickly found the Tuckerly family's mansion. However, as a commoner, it is impossible for him to enter the Duke's Palace at will. Leah had already thought of this, and she told Age to try to solve this problem with gold coins. No one would refuse gold, even if he was a guard at the Duke's Palace.
Of course, gold alone is not enough to summon the guards, and they may not necessarily allow the guards to take you into the Duke's Palace, but at least you can get some useful information from the guards.
As Ria expected, Aegie wanted to enter the Tuckley mansion, but was intercepted by the guards. He then quietly handed a few gold coins to one of the guards, who only glanced at him a few times and told him the news: Takli was not in the mansion, but at the Sicilian Military Academy.
This kind of news has nothing to do with the guard's dereliction of duty or not, so he is very relieved to accept Age's gold coins.
Edge didn't feel that his gold was spent unjustly, there was no way around it. He didn't have any status at Caanster City, and it was a good thing that he could solve the problem with gold. I'm afraid that gold coins can't solve the problem. That's why it's said that the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Knowing the location of the Sicilian Military Academy from the guards, Aegie immediately walked there.
The Sicilian Military Academy is an aristocratic college, and most people may consider it to be in the most prosperous area. But no, it's close to the eastern outskirts of the city, where there is a vast flat land. There are different types of training grounds for students to practice martial arts and magic.
At the same time, the Sicilian Military Academy has the largest, fastest, and most complete teleportation array in the city. The main purpose of this construction is to facilitate the trainees to go to the field for actual combat training. Of course, because of the construction and development of the teleportation array, the teleportation array in the Sicilian Military Academy cannot only be used by students. At the same time, it is controlled by the political axe and is used for transmission operations, special use for the distribution of state letters, etc.
Compared to the Takli family's mansion, the Sicilian Military Academy is open to the public. When Edge came there, he immediately saw a group of well-dressed young men, mostly handsome, and mostly beautiful women, going in and out of the academy gate.
The construction at the entrance of the college has a strong combat style.
On both sides are tall stone pillars that symbolize surnames, and the stone pillars are carved with inscriptions. In the middle of it, there is a circular fountain of slow flowing water, with droplets of water flowing only on the outside, and inside it are several statues. The statue features a robed woman holding a magic book in her left hand and a scepter in her right hand. There was also a mighty man in armor with a long sword in his hand. There are also other symbolic statues.
These are all people who are famous in the kingdom of Relia, they are powerful, and they belong to the saint-level powerhouses.
Age's clothes are not glamorous, but he has no inferiority complex. He had come to "talk to Tuckery about business", and he had a clear purpose, and he didn't have to care about other people's fingers. Although from the moment he stepped into the territory of the Sicilian Military Academy, there were already many noble children pointing fingers at him.
Although he didn't care, he had to admit that his appearance was indeed a little inferior compared to those noble children.
However, to the surprise of those noble children, in addition to being able to let go of other people's fingers, Aiji also had the courage to go and ask the noble children. In fact, he had to do it. The Sicilian Military Academy is so big, how could he possibly find Tuckli without asking others.
The first time he inquired was about two men, but the two men despised him and walked away, telling him nothing, presumably despising him as a commoner. The second time he inquired was about the two girls, who were a little more humble and told him that Tuckley was the young duke and that it was impossible to see him easily. The two girls looked a little evasive of him, even though they had no ill will towards him, but they were watched by a group of noble children, and they didn't want to be despised by them.
Encountering this kind of treatment twice in a row made Ageie realize that in such a society, no matter how relieved he is, how little he cares, even if he puts down his self-esteem, he will not be looked down upon by the people on top.
He felt pathetic about this, and felt a trace of anger. He sighed in his heart, but he didn't vent the negative emotions in his heart here. At this time, there was no need to lower his body and beg to ask these noble children, he turned around suddenly, lowered his head and strode away with cold eyes.
Unfortunately, however, he looked down and turned away without looking ahead, bumping into a student who was walking in. The consequences of a commoner bumping into a noble young master can be imagined. If this noble young master was a magnanimous man, perhaps Aiji would not be fine. But this is the most unfortunate place, the noble young master he bumped into is angry.
He had clearly experienced something that had angered him before. Before he was hit by Age, he was already flushed with anger, and after being hit by Edge, he didn't say a word, and directly kicked Edge.
"What a bastard!dare to hit the young master!" the noble young master scolded after kicking Aiji.
This aristocratic young master is a big fat man, with small eyes, curly scalp, and lumps of flesh on his body, which is definitely the focus of the usual teasing. His name was Keecken and he was the young master of a marquis. However, his status is not just as simple as the marquis, he is Sain's cousin, that is, the so-called royal relative. For this reason, he was more arrogant than the average marquis.
To the surprise of those who saw the scene, Edge was not kicked away by Keeckon's kick.
At this point, his right hand was clenched into a fist, which was why he was not kicked by Kecken. In fact, when Keecken kicked him, he could already feel the air fluctuations from Kecken's feet. He could have easily dodged it, but he didn't. He did this in the hope that Keckon's kick would counteract the anger he had bumped into him, and the two sides would be even.
But this is just a dream.
Kecken had always had a bad temper, and he did to most people of lower status than him. A big reason for this is because of his stature, as long as someone thinner than him looks at him a few more times, he will be furious. Because almost all of his followers are big fat people.
This is like a "beautiful" landscape. As long as it is a group of big fat people who get together, there is a good chance that there will be a shadow of Kecken.
As his cousin and prince, Sain often scolded him for being a pig, that he was fat, and that he had a group of fat people, so he was afraid that others would not know that he was fat?
Sain often felt that it was a shame to have such a cousin!
But that's not the point, the problem is that Kecken and Agee are on the right track.
When he saw that Agee was a civilian, Keeckon's anger became uncontrollable, and he angrily scolded Edge. Then he tried to hit Age, but was stopped by Edge.
A civilian actually dared to fight back!
This completely ignited the anger in his heart, and he decided to beat Edge half to death.
Edge still dodges his attacks, which are actually very easy to dodge. With such a fat figure and a fist, it's just a fist embroidered leg!
That said, Edge didn't really have the heart to fight him. He dodged Keckon's attack only thinking that when Keckon kicked him just now, everything should be settled, and there was no need to do it again, otherwise things would get bigger and bigger.
Not wanting to make a big deal out of it was the fundamental reason why Edge didn't have the heart to fight, and he didn't want to be lectured by Leah for half an hour when he went back at night. More importantly, he didn't want to cause trouble for Leah.
But apparently he had Kecken's heart too broad. Keckon didn't mean to let him go. His eyes were cracking, and he completely used Ageie as a punching bag, and his attack on Edge's was strong but not weak.
At this time, more and more people gathered, and surrounded Edgey and Kecken. Some of the students who thought it was funny and wanted to make things more lively shouted "Duel, duel, duel!!", meaning that Aggie and Keken would fight.
Keeken was visibly influenced by these do-gooders, and he lowered his head and gasped like a boar digging through the earth, ready to sprint forward to attack Edge.
Seeing this, Aegie sighed inwardly. At the same time, he also talked to Giroud, who was hiding in the Moros Blade, and of course it was some complaints and scratches. In these years, are the children of the nobility really full of food and have nothing to do?
In such a situation, it is difficult not to fight.
