Chapter 3: The True Aristocracy

There was nothing to say, and naturally there was silence in the carriage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, all three of them fell asleep one after another.

The carriage that had departed from Mills early in the morning was speeding quickly and steadily along the official road of the country of Merce.

By the time Sun Chenghuan woke up, it was already dark.

"Are you awake too?" greeted Sun Chenghuan with Grant.

Compared with Suowan, he has a better relationship with Sun Chenghuan.

After all, his fiancée has a good relationship with Sun Chenghuan.

"Hmm......" Sun Chenghuan yawned, rubbed his eyes, and then glanced outside the carriage, "What time is it?"

"It's seven o'clock. Sovan replied, a little vaguely, because he was eating something in his mouth, "It's going to be a change of carriage in a moment." ”

"Oh......" Sun Chenghuan nodded and stretched.

"Don't you want to eat something?" Suo Wan divided half of the food he was holding in his hand and handed it to Sun Chenghuan.

"Thank you. Although Sun Chenghuan was not hungry at all because he had just woken up, he still took it and took a bite, "You all woke up early?"

"It's been a while. Sovan nodded.

The carriage was quiet again.

Between the three of them, it is still embarrassing.

After a while, the carriage stopped at a post station.

"Changed cars. The coachman, who was driving in front of the carriage, greeted a few of the people in the carriage.

"Thank you. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded to the coachman.

Sovan and Grant on the side didn't say anything.

This kind of greeting the driver is never something they do.

The three of them got out of the carriage, and next to them, Joey and the three of them also got out of the carriage.

"What's wrong? Look like you're not waking up?"

Joey greeted her first not her fiancé, but Sun Chenghuan.

Sun Chenghuan was a little embarrassed, but he quickly cleaned up his mood.

"Well, let's go back to sleep later. ”

"Shall we eat here and then set off, or shall we go straight to the road?" asked Jessica, who was also supposed to have just woken up, yawned and asked.

"This ...... It's not up to us to say it. Sovan glanced at the carriage sandwiched between the two carriages.

No one came down from above.

Sun Chenghuan walked over.

The other five people present were all stunned.

"Uncle Master, it's been a long time!"

"Oh, it's been a long time, you still remember me?"

"Of course! You are the driver who reminded me, and I guess there are not many people in the whole of Merce. Sun Chenghuan said with a smile.

"Hmm...... That's been three years...... I didn't expect you to really take root in the Second Academy, and you seem to be doing quite well?"

"It's okay...... Sun Chenghuan shook his head with a smile, "Uncle, can you go and ask the people in the car, are we going to leave after eating here, or will we leave immediately?"

"Oh, you wait. ”

Three years ago, the chubby coachman Master that Sun Chenghuan met when he came to Mills from Yingao City turned around and got into the carriage.

Soon.

"Eat. Mast, who got out of the carriage, replied to Sun Chenghuan with a smile, "Wait until you have dinner before leaving." ”

"Okay. Sun Chenghuan nodded and returned to the place where the other five people were.

"Do you know that coachman?" Raven said, with a strange expression.

"Hmm...... I've been in his car before. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

“...... Preferably. Raven apparently didn't believe it, "What do you say, about eating?"

"Let's eat. ”

"The man in the car......"

"You didn't say you would eat with us. Sun Chenghuan answered Suowan, who asked a question.

"That's fine. Sovan nodded. "Let's go eat. ”

He finally regained some initiative.

Originally, it seemed that he should be in charge here.

Even if Grant is not convinced, he is the leader who should be here.

No one has an opinion on his strong head.

Even the person from the Third Academy, who was supposed to call her sister, had no opinion.

So, the group of six people ate a hot meal in the post station, and then, changing to a carriage and coachman, went on the road again.

"The car in the middle changed horses, but there was no change of driver. ”

In the carriage, Suo Wan looked at Sun Chenghuan and said.

Obviously, he was going to ask Sun Chenghuan something.

As for what to ask...... It's also obvious.

"That coachman was the one I went from Nazaire to Mills three years ago when I came to Mills from my hometown of Welcoming City with the admissions officers from Second College. Sun Chenghuan could only tell the truth.

"From Nazaire to Mills? It's going to take seven or eight days, right?" said Grant, who was next to him, frowning slightly.

"Well, seven days. ”

"He's been sending you back?"

"Well, he said he came to Mills on an errand, and then when he went back to Mills City, he was separated and never seen again. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"How could you be so impressed with him!" Sovan obviously didn't believe it.

"Oh, because it was in the city of Nazaire...... He said he was a graduate of the Seventh Academy. Sun Chenghuan continued to explain.

"Seventh Academy, when are the students of Seventh Academy going to be coachmen?" said Grant. "Who believes that!"

"I didn't believe it at the time, so I was very impressed with him. Sun Chenghuan smiled and said, "Plus it's so fat, so it's ......."

"Hmm...... It seems that he must have become a servant of some family. "Sovan found a single possibility.

"I guess so. Sun Chenghuan also nodded, "But what kind of person is in that car, such a big spectrum ......?"

"That's it, it's bigger than Sovan's spectrum......" Grant quietly stabbed Sowan with a dagger.

Diaphragm to you.

Sovan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer such words.

"A representative of the Great Elder, perhaps?" said Grant, pleased with Sovan's reaction.

"The Great Elder just inherited the title last year, and I've seen him, and he's not the kind of person who likes to put on a show. Suowan shook his head, "If the second elder is still possible......"

"Anyway, it must be someone from the three elder families, otherwise there is no reason to be like this, right? Grant waved his hand.

"It should be ......," Suo Wan nodded, "That's why the people in the three elder families are like this...... Alas......"

"I really don't understand, why there are three elders in the Council of Elders, such a family ......," Grant grumbled.

"This is Merce...... Well, the conventions of the Ace Continent. Sovan shook his head and interrupted Grant's words, although he didn't deal with Grant very well, but he still couldn't let Grant say these words, "It's been like this since a thousand years ago. ”

"Convention...... Not in the Virgin calendar before. ”

"And who are you going to make king?" asked Grant rhetorically.

Be quiet.

Grant was choked by Sovan's words.

"Yes, although the three elders are hereditary, they are three people, and in the Council of Elders, it is only one person, one vote. Sun Chenghuan interjected with a smile next to him, "It's better than having the king say it all before! Even if it's the prime minister, it's the king who wants you to die, and you have to die......

"Yes, So, the three elders are the three elders. Suo Wan continued Sun Chenghuan's words and said, "So we're still a little rushed, aren't we?"

The expression on Sovan's face was good, and this time, he was against Grant, a complete victory.

Grant nodded sullenly, indeed, Suo Wan and Sun Chenghuan were right.

Since the re-establishment of the four kingdoms during the Penglai period, the hereditary system of the three elders established by the Penglai people has existed.

Just like the previous hereditary kings, the three elders are also inherited from father to son, but unlike what the previous king said alone, the three elders are not what they decide to become the final decision of the country.

The Presbyterian Church has eleven members. The three elders are only three of them.

At the beginning, people didn't quite understand why there were three people in the Council of Elders who were hereditary, but after hundreds of years, especially in the chaotic historical time of the Ace Continent after the disappearance of Penglai Country, the significance of the hereditary system of these three elders was revealed.

Stable.

Officially because of this, after this, the aristocratic feudal system reappeared.

It's just that the nobility of today is no longer the same concept as the aristocracy of 2,000 years ago.

And all the nobles also had a common goal, to become members of the Presbyterian Church.

It's just that there are only eight people who can actually become members of the Presbyterian Church.

"I think we'll change the carriage tomorrow morning, right?" Grant changed the subject, he was so suppressed by Sovan that he was really uncomfortable.

"Probably yes. The carriage was running so fast that it was impossible to run for more than twelve hours in a row. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"Then tomorrow morning, when we change cars, let's go say hello to the person in the middle car. Grant said.

"This ...... People are avoiding us...... Sun Chenghuan disagreed, "Maybe it's inconvenient to meet us for some reason." ”

"There can't be anything strange...... Grant insisted.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow morning. "Sovan didn't really want to go.

In case someone is offended......

There's no need.

Grant was a little upset, but now that it's two to one, he is really at a disadvantage, so he can only shut up.

There was silence in the carriage.

Sun Chenghuan crossed his legs in the corner and entered a meditative state.

Every night's magic meditation time, thunder doesn't move.

It's just that he didn't meditate here for long before he was interrupted.

The carriage stopped.

"What's wrong?" Sun Chenghuan opened his eyes and looked at the two people next to him who were also a little surprised.

"I don't know. Sovan's brow furrowed, "Didn't something happen?"

"Go out and have a look?" Grant also became nervous all of a sudden, "It's so strange that the carriage suddenly stopped on the official road." ”

"Hmm......" Sun Chenghuan nodded, and with his hand, he copied the knife he had put in the corner and pinned to his luggage, and carried it on his back.

It's really weird, especially now that it's night.

"What's ......" Sun Chenghuan opened the door of the carriage, and was about to ask the coachman, but stopped halfway through his words.

Because it's useless for him to speak.

The person to whom he was talking was slumped in the driver's seat of the carriage.

Chest, an arrow.
