"Once, I was still called Murong Qin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info is a name you haven't heard of......" Master smiled and reintroduced himself.

"I really haven't heard of it. ”

"Then I'll borrow someone else to introduce myself. Master laughed, "Murong Yan is my fourth brother. I'm the fifth. So he's a duke, and I, just a nobleman, a nobleman without a title. ”

Be quiet.

"I see. Sun Chenghuan let out a long sigh.

I see.

As a commoner, he really didn't know why Conina had to let herself join their family in order to inherit Baron Nagrand, instead of going out to make a career and then get a knighthood by virtue of her achievements.

In the past, he always felt that Conina's vision was too small, and he stared at the baron......

Now he understood that if Baron Nagrand was her brother, even if she killed Eldraine by herself, as she did, then in the end, she would only make her brother an earl, a marquis, or even a duke, and nothing to do with her.

And if his original surname was Murong, Sun Chenghuan could somewhat understand why he would become the representative of the special mission of the Council of Elders this time.

But with this surname, he can represent Merce.

Sun Chenghuan also understood why, in just a few days, he was able to gather nearly a hundred veterans with quite good quality at the Xiguan Station, and he could also get to know the deputy commander like Ai Zhuo.

The dissatisfaction in his mouth is not because his fourth brother is not as capable as his fourth brother, the current commander of the Northern Legion, Murong Yan, it is just ...... Age.

He is the fourth, and I am the fifth. So, he's a duke, I'm nothing.

What kind of status has he ever been!

The deputy commander of the Northern Legion? or......

At least, a real general!

"Don't worry, except for you, the other few people are determined to go to Astrana to develop. Master patted Sun Chenghuan on the shoulder, "Maybe one day in the future, I can't stay in Merce, and I will go to your ......."

Sun Chenghuan shook his head, not taking this matter seriously.

"By the way, General Murong ......"

"You might as well call me Uncle Master. Master interrupted Sun Chenghuan's words, "I haven't been surnamed Murong for a long time. Oh, although I might have to have a last name tomorrow. ”

“...... Uncle, can I ask, why did your fourth brother inherit the title of the Murong family, instead of the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" Master looked at Sun Chenghuan with a strange look.

"Curious, if there's any secret, you don't have to tell it, I don't want to be killed for knowing too much......

"Oh, it's not an unspeakable secret, my other three brothers died on the battlefield. ”

“...... Sure enough, the Murong family ......," Sun Chenghuan sighed.

"No, it's not dying on the battlefield, it's dying on the battlefield. Master shook his head and said seriously, "These two are different. ”

Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

Silence fell.

Die on the battlefield, not in battle. That is, to die in ......

"This sentence was a secret just now, right?" Sun Chenghuan's brows furrowed.

"You already know too much. "But it doesn't matter, who doesn't have a few secrets? Just like I still can't understand why you were lying in bed and couldn't move, but that night you were able to run away alive and kill Eldraine......

"This ......"

"Look, Eldraine's death, it's a secret. Master laughed, "I know, but you can't kill me." ”

“...... Not really. ”

Sun Chenghuan must admit that just like when he faced Eldraine that night, he was facing Master at this moment, and he didn't feel like his opponent.

It is impossible to extinguish the mouth.

"Therefore, you have to be strong enough that even if Murong Yan knows that you know some of his little secrets, you can't do anything to ensure your own safety. Master laughed and said, "That's the pressure I'm putting on you." Including those jumping clowns in the military department, it's the same. ”

“...... Why?"

"Actually, don't you think the system of the division of the three kings is very good?"

“...... What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Master shook his head and said no more.

And so, until Master left, neither of them spoke again.

Tonight, the two of them talked a little too much.

Master reveals too much.

finally got some explanations for the things that Sun Chenghuan had been curious about before.

"Do you believe what he just said?"

After sending Master away, Erin didn't have to hide, and just appeared.

"Letter, why did he lie to me?" Although Sun Chenghuan was used to Erin's sudden appearance, his expression was still not much better. "In the past, when the Duchy of Merce was used, was there only one title for such a family?"

"How do I know!How old I was when we left the Ace Continent!" Erin was speechless, "Why, do you think ......?"

"If what he says is true, I'm curious how Merce has withstood the pressure of attacks from Langu and Astrana over the years. Sun Chenghuan sighed, "Even people like the Murong family are like this......"

"Yes, I think it's good!" said Erin, shaking her head.

"Why do you say that?"

"You don't want to think about it, if you have military merits and give you a knighthood, how many generals in the army can be people outside the Murong family?" Erin asked with a smile. "How many fiefs can be given to other minor nobles and even commoners with military merits? In the end, people like you who want to kill the enemy through the battlefield and be knighted for military merits, will there still be a chance?"

Be quiet.

It's been a while.

"It's not so dark, is it?" Sun Chenghuan was a little dumbfounded.

He was already aware of his mistake.

"I still remember that after reading the book you sent me a few years ago, Aunt Great Sage said that although she has always been worried about the disappearance of the Holy Maiden Sect, she likes the current Ace Continent more than we did in our original era. Erin looked at Sun Chenghuan's expression and smiled.

"Why ......"

"Big brother, do you know, people like you, in our time, there is no chance to learn magic. Erin smiled, "If I hadn't gone with you to your house, knowing that you were just an ordinary to very poor family, and then swearing to tell them that they wouldn't believe you were just a commoner orphan without a title......

"This ......"

"In our day, magicians didn't take in apprentices. Either you're the kind of super-genius Naris, who walks down the street and is instantly recognizable to people as having a talent for magic, or you're the child of a nobleman, or the child of a wealthy merchant, and you can ask a magician to test your magic affinity, or you won't even be able to touch magic at all. Erin continued, "Did you know that in those days, the only way that almost all civilians could get an education was to send their children to the Holy Virgin's Church? The boy became the servant of the Guardian Knight, and the girl became the Holy Maiden's attendant, although the Holy Maiden Sect itself always felt that they hoped that all the people of the Ace Continent could learn knowledge and have the ability to match their talents, but they have never been able to do it, for thousands of years, it has been like this. But in a place like Yingao Academy, they have done something that they have not been able to do in more than 6,000 years. ”

“...... I really didn't think this kind of thing would be so great...... But in what era did you have no schools?"

"Yes!" Erin nodded, "but it's all very basic, teaching some simple arithmetic, reading some words, using some simple magic items, and some simple life skills." Like driving a carriage, repairing magic instruments, or tailoring or something. It's not like in your school, there are assessments and competitions, and if you don't study well, you will be scolded......"

"So what can those people learn when they go in......"

"I can't learn anything, so they don't think about when I'll be made a nobleman or something like that by military merit or by doing something great." Honestly, the coachman's son continued to be a coachman, the woodcutter's son continued to chop wood, the tailor's child continued to make clothes, the nobleman's child...... will always be a nobleman. Erin took it for granted, "These things are actually cruel to put it bluntly. ”

"You royal families, don't you need more talents to consolidate the rule of the country?" Sun Chenghuan asked curiously.

"What are our royal families...... Even if those things didn't happen in my family, the position of Grand Duke Merce wouldn't be my turn or not! I haven't studied these things seriously since I was a child, but I know that these things must be reasonable. Erin was speechless, "Even if it is a king, or a grand duke, there are so many hours in a day, and there are only so many people who can deal with them, and if you deal with a family well, you can use it for a long time, as long as you ensure the checks and balances between several families, plus the control of the royal family, and the Mage Tower and the Holy Maiden's Sect help us promote loyalty to the country and the royal family among the people, although you can scold the king for being bad, but they are the kings you elected yourself thousands of years ago...... In this way, there is no such thing as Jarro's family that was rebelled by civilians and even wiped out by the whole family!"

"Didn't there be a civilian rebellion in your time?"

"Yes, but even if there is a rebellion, just send a magician and it will be done in a day. Erin looked natural, "There are no magicians among the civilians, and there are no paladins, and the people who can become magicians and paladins in the Holy Maiden Sect are also under the command of the Holy Maiden Sect, so a group of civilians don't even have a single one who can command the war, just like now, isn't the theory of war only available in the Second and Third Academies? Not even the Seventh Academy, that's the concept...... In the first few hundred years of the Virgin's calendar, there were civilian rebellions, and then there were none. ”

"That's it......" Sun Chenghuan nodded and stopped talking, he seemed to understand why Merce wanted to implement such a national policy now.

If you think about it carefully, the lesser of two evils, such a policy cannot be said to be unwise.

It's just that those who are not sons in law from aristocratic families are suffering......

"As soon as you said it like this, big brother, I suddenly began to believe what Master said......" Erin nodded there with a serious face, "I don't know if you can have good foreign aid this time!"

"From their respective families?" Sun Chenghuan also realized this.

"Yes, think about it, if you can take root abroad, you don't have to bear the name of a traitor, and you can prepare an enclave for the family......" Erin smiled, "What a temptation!"

“...... How do you understand so much at once?" Sun Chenghuan smiled and diverted the topic.

Now that the conclusion is already there, there is a need for a way to end the discussion.

This is a way of chatting that the two of them are already familiar with.

It's a tacit understanding.

"Do you want me to come out and talk to you about this kind of thing in a different way?" Erin also answered kindly, "I knew you must like me like that......"

"Forget it, so be it. Sun Chenghuan confessed, facing Erin like that, Sun Chenghuan really didn't know how to talk well, "Rest early, I should have a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”

"Got it. Erin was very satisfied with Sun Chenghuan's confession, although she knew that no matter what she said when she ended the conversation today, he would definitely admit defeat.

Because I taught him a lot today.

"Say, you won today, what do you want?" Sun Chenghuan looked at Erin, who had obviously promised that she was going to sleep, and still didn't move, and he knew.

He didn't hate Erin's little coquettishness with him.

"I didn't finish the story of Lial this afternoon...... And the most crucial part is not yet covered, you can finish it for me tonight!" Erin said with a smile, "I'll sleep in this room." ”

“...... Do you want me to tell you a story and coax you to sleep?"

"People are still children......

“...... Whatever you want!" Sun Chenghuan sighed and shook his head.

Hearing such an answer, Erin walked into Sun Chenghuan's bedroom with a smug smile on her face.

Sun Chenghuan could only follow behind, and the two of them were one behind the other.

Erin skillfully removed the bed she had placed in the ring, and then, ready for bed.

Like she's been doing basically every day for the past three years.

Then, with the same skill, he slipped into the bed that was "protected" by the dark curtain.

"Okay, let's start storytelling......"

Inside a black hole, Irene's voice came out.

“...... You're waiting for me to wash my face and go to bed...... Don't you have to wash your face?"

"Don't worry about it!

“...... Oh......"

......
