Chapter 60: There are always hidden characters in the branches

After Sir Bruno left, Catherine introduced the identity of the man. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It turned out that his grandfather was a scholar of the current dynasty, Rennes was over 80 years old, and his prestige was not inferior to that of Henry's national teacher in the court, and even more so in the academic world. The Reed family is also one of the largest families in the Rhine Kingdom, and there have been dozens of dukes in the clan over the centuries. Poor Rennes University Scholar was shot in the evening, the eldest grandson and granddaughter are all dragons and phoenixes, but there is a little grandson named Bruno, the loser causes trouble, the big mistakes do not make small mistakes, and there are familiar nobles at the door to sue at the end of the three days.

The elderly always prefer the youngest children, and so does the University of Rennes. But he is a scholar, and his cultivation is there, so he can't do things that bully others, so he has to pull down an old face and wipe his little grandson's ass everywhere.

This year, Sir Bruno didn't know what to smoke and fell in love with Her Royal Highness Catherine, and once ran to the palace to spy on Catherine bathing...... In the end, he was thrown out by the elite knight without seeing anything, and then he was broken by the dog's leg by the Doctor of Wren and confined for three months. After coming out, she still didn't change, and Catherine was annoyed. Although good women are afraid of pestering men, the standard can't be so low, isn't it......

It is not difficult to say that the matter of the Bone Devouring Sect is not simple, and it is not easy to say that it is a pipe dream for a new cult to develop steadily under the nose of the Wangcheng Garrison. However, the brainwashing skills of this sect can be called a masterpiece, and the garrison has arrested many cultists, and they are stunned to ask for the slightest information. Executions are naturally commonplace in these years, but people think that this is a test for them by the God of Bones, you see...... What did the God of Light say?

Catherine's move was not only to dispel Sir Bruno's arrogance, but also to test whether Aluca had real skills. She was ...... that Aluca was able to see through her secrets Excited. The so-called chess opponent naturally has this feeling on both sides, and only one person feels that it is called self-inflicted affection.

Catherine didn't forget to give a hint to both sides of the game: the outside members of the Bone Eater Cult who are responsible for developing the cult often haunt the Blue Bird and Bear Tavern on Eight Street Street. This hint is actually of little significance, if it was useful to catch external members, the garrison would have solved the Bone Eater Sect a long time ago. However...... Arouca immediately figured out the idea.

But he didn't rush to do it, but asked Sinong to take him to meet Bellamy first, which was the right thing. I don't know if I haven't seen Bellamy, the little girl, for many years, and her breasts have become bigger......

Puzzled by this, Sinon came out of the palace and asked, "Since you have an idea, why don't you do it at once?" if Sir Bruno finds it first......

"Don't worry. Arouca yawned, "I promise he won't find it, and he'll make it impossible for us to find it, and it's a waste of time to go now." Think about it, how long has it been since we've slept and see how Bellamy is doing, and then find a place to sleep. Tomorrow we'll play with Bellamy for a day, and the day after tomorrow we'll solve the problem of the Bone Eater. ”

Sinong still didn't understand, but his doubts didn't last long......

The Noble Academy on Bellamy is located in the southwest corner of the royal city, and it is just past Badao Street to get to the Noble Academy from the royal palace. I saw a group of knights on tall horses with steel helmets and silver guns on the street, checking every pedestrian, and the leader was Sir Bruno. Sir Bruno snorted contemptuously when he noticed Aluca and Sinoon passing by, thinking that these two wastes were actually shopping, and they really didn't dare to compete with Uncle Ben at all......

After walking away, Aluka said, "See, even if there are fish in the water, they can't stand such a toss." ”

Xinon sighed and said, "People are stupid and really can't be saved......"

――

Speaking of the history of the aristocratic academy, it can be traced back to the heroic age of a thousand years ago. At that time, the Rhine City had not yet been built, and the Red Cultists were still trembling under the authority of the various natural sects...... Natural sects, that is, gods such as mountain gods, wind gods, thunder gods, rain gods, etc. The reason for the flourishing of the sect of nature can be summed up in one sentence, the fear of ignorance and ignorance is sublimated into faith by the wisdom of greed.

But there were people who pursued knowledge in all ages, and they gathered in places called "school towns".

Scattered throughout the continent, they are not subject to the constraints of the powerful and powerful sects, and are also funded by nobles and royal families. They call themselves maesters, but people who don't know what they do are like to call them alchemists...... Because in the eyes of outsiders, only alchemists have practical value. The earliest advanced technologies in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and metal smelting were all developed by these alchemists. Alchemists aside, bachelors of astronomy and geography are doing well, while other bachelors of literature, history, economics and politics are less likeable, and those in power in the Heroic Age do not care about cultural development, let alone diplomacy, but only want to have a big fist.

Seven hundred years ago, a massive pan-continental war ended the heroic era and destroyed the simple-minded and well-limbed natural sects. The gods of light, the sun god, the god of love, the god of war, the moon god and other gods with richer connotations have risen in the new era, and the human civilization of the St. Ainos continent has developed to a new height. In order to stabilize their faith and explain the feared natural phenomena, the kingdoms began to emphasize the role of scholars, and rebuilt the school city that had been destroyed in the war, incorporated it into the kingdom system, and renamed it the noble academy.

This one in the Rhine King City is naturally called the "National Noble College of the Rhine Kingdom". It occupies an area similar to that of the royal palace, and students and faculty live in the academy, and even the royal family is not allowed to live at home. But they don't want to go back, the standard of living in the academy is extremely high, each dormitory is a villa, only four people live, with professional butlers, maids and cooks. What is a profession? For generations, families have been doing this, from father to son, from mother to daughter, and the work is assigned well when they are born. If you don't want to do it, that's not okay, it's the law.

The main entrance of the Noble Academy is a large silver-plated iron door that is five meters high and fifteen meters wide, and it can only be pulled by a special mechanism. During the day, the doors are open, but at night they are tightly closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, which is stricter than the barracks.

As soon as they walked through the door, Aluka and Sinoon heard a sweet voice: "Welcome to the National Noble Academy of the Rhine Kingdom......"

"Hey, there's also the welcome, it's well managed......" Aruka was stunned before he finished speaking, Xinon was also stunned, and the girl who welcomed the guests was also stunned.

Because the girl who welcomed her was Bellamy. She wears a black and red school uniform with a shirt on top and a short skirt on the bottom. I haven't seen him for many years, I'm still not tall, my chest is still not big, and my appearance is still pure and sweet. She looked exactly like what the two of Aluca saw in the wish-making room, but her expression was not weak and pitiful, but with a stubborn heroic spirit.

"I don't know why she's here......" Arouca smiled with relief, "but it looks like she's no longer the little girl who would rush into my arms and call her brother." ”

"yes. Cinon glanced at Aluca, "You're not the little boy who kicked her to the ground anymore." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bellamy was heard crying out in surprise, "Brother Aluca!" and the wind rushed towards Aluca. Arouca reflexively lifted his leg and knocked Bellamy down with one kick......

Aluka was embarrassed: "Don't blame me, do you......?" Do you understand conditioning?"

Xinon had no choice but to hold his forehead, went over to help Bellamy up, and sighed: "Little sister, I haven't seen you for so long, don't you want to say something to my brother......?

Bellamy playfully stuck out her tongue and apologized, "I'm sorry, brother, we still write to each other occasionally...... Hmph, Brother Aluca's bad guy never replied to my letters. ”

"Who's the bad guy? We don't have a good relationship at all, right?" Aruka looked around, and saw a hut not far from the iron gate, he stretched out his finger, "You just live there, don't you, go in." ”

When Xinong heard this, he understood a lot of things at once, and his eyes suddenly felt a little lonely.

There was only one room in the hut, a neat and clean single bed, a table full of books, a few potted plants on the floor, and the closet was also full of books, and there were no household items. Living in this kind of place, it is extremely inconvenient to wash and go to the toilet, especially for girls who love cleanliness.

With no extra chairs, Aluka and Sinong sat down on their beds. Bellamy sat at his desk with his hands on his knees, like a child being lectured by a teacher.

After being silent for a while, Xinon moved his Adam's apple and said dryly, "I'm sorry...... Bellamy, it's me who is useless......"

Bellamy hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, big brother, because I always buy some useless books, so I can only work for the academy to earn living expenses." ”

"Come less. Aluca pierced mercilessly, "The academy's library is free for students, right?"

Instead of indulging in self-pity, Sinoon said confidently, "Wait a few more days...... Bellamy, I will let you have the same life as other students. Isn't that right, Aluca? We're going to be knights soon. ”

Bellamy cried out in surprise, little stars were about to pop out of his eyes, and said, "Oh my God...... Knight...... Will you have armor, will you have knights' swords, I heard that the knights will give knights horses and squires, is it true? And castles, manors, ......"

"Uh......" Xinong coughed twice and explained, "Actually...... It may not be the same as you think. There are many kinds of knights, and the lowest rank is called infantry knights, and they don't know how to match horses. The mid-level ones are called knights, and they have squires and horses. The high-ranking ones are called elite knights, and they also have no horses, but only serve the royal family. As for the castle and the manor...... There will be a manor, but not a castle. This also has something to do with the status of the knight before he was knighted, if it is a nobleman, it is generally assigned to a castle, and the commoner is ......"

Aluca yawned, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm dying." Bellamy, remember to take a leave of absence tomorrow and take us around the royal city, and your brother and I may live in the royal city forever in the future. ”

After a few more pleasantries, Aruka and Sinong left the noble academy and went to the civilian area to find an inn. Before leaving, Aluca noticed that Bellamy's farewell expression was a little lonely, but he didn't think much about it, anyone who lived in a group of nobles all day long, but he could only work and study, would be lonely.

What made him a little depressed was that Bellamy had changed.

Do you like me?

I do not like you.

It's not your fault, don't feel inferior, you can change.

Bellamy, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and felt that it was natural for others to like him, was gone, replaced by a girl who was humble and polite, knew how to care about others, and understood her brother. Isn't that great, you might think?

Of course, Aluca is also happy for her growth. But he couldn't help but think about it...... Bellamy compromised. In order to adapt to the world, she has worn away her own characteristics, or buried them deep in her heart. Just as animals will evolve unique organs to adapt to the environment in order to survive, humans will also evolve abilities that they do not have in order to survive in society, such as being exquisite, observing words and feelings, and being sophisticated...... The vast majority of people would say that this is mature demeanor, this is the embodiment of wisdom. But Aluca couldn't convince herself, there was no way to compromise with the world.

Just like Mr. Li Zongsheng sang in the song, he wants to tease love, the influence of fate, and fight back unconsciously until he dies.
