Chapter 16: Those Who Dare to Win (I)
Prunella followed the eucommia in front of her, walking on the path leading to the teleportation array of the old campus in Giffen City.
They didn't have any conversation.
Xia Kucao, who was one position behind the other party, looked at the figure in front of him with a complicated expression - based on what happened last night, it was difficult for him not to feel bad for the so-called nobles, so he couldn't treat this vice president who was of royal blood and perhaps more noble than he did with the other two deans. Although he retained a minimum of respect, since the moment he overlapped that identity with the person in front of him, he never took away his scrutiny, doubt, and even a little wary gaze.
So as he walked, he saw many thingsβ
When walking, Du Zhong's hands were naturally behind him, his sleeves were hanging down like clouds, his expression was serious and square, and his posture was impeccable.
His steps were extremely heavy, and he couldn't see how his upper body moved, but under one step, there was dust flying.
It is precisely because he walks extremely heavy that he walks extremely steadily.
When he walked, he did not have the momentum of half a dragon and tiger step, but he fell to the extreme of the down-to-earth four characters, and he was like a moving mountain when he walked, walking low-key and heavy, and walking calmly and atmosphericly.
Every step he takes seems to be walking with his heart, and he feels the earth under his feet with his heart, so every step he takes is completely equal in interval and step.
Xia Kucao looked at each other silently, thinking with some emotion that this Seal Master Academy, which is nearly the first in the world, is really extraordinary, even if he is the most ordinary and normal among the three deans he has seen, even if he is just walking, he has such extraordinary power.
Eucommia ulmoides has a very ancient style, and the ancient here is not the ancient of this continent, but the ancient of the world before it.
Therefore, Xia Kucao was extremely reluctant to classify such a person into the ranks of despicable nobles like Bai Alum and Bai Ziren.
But he's just a royal family.
Prunella thought again with some regret.
......
"There is no blue-blooded nobleman surnamed Bai in the Holy Precept Code, so that Bai Ziren should just be a papal knight from an ordinary glorious noble, and he has no qualifications to represent the Holy See, so if the other party persecuts him too much, you don't have to be too polite. Du Zhong's words sounded a little abruptly on the side of Xia Kucao's ear, and he suddenly raised his head in his thoughts, only to find that the teleportation array leading to the old campus was close in front of him, so he hurriedly stopped, gathered his mind and listened carefully.
"So that group must be the eldest son of the Marquis of Alberta, and you should be careful not to involve the Holy See in your dealings with him. After all...... The Dean is willing to take this trouble for you, but that's about it, you know?"
Prunella frowned, tasted the taste, and couldn't help but speak: "You're not going?"
"Don't go. Du Zhong shook his head slowly, and then explained expressionlessly: "The identity of the other party is not enough, it should just test the academy's opinion of you, I will go, it will be to bully the small with the big and fall into the hands of others, and ...... I always feel that there are some problems here, and if I go, the situation will be irreparable, and only if you go, there will be room for adjustment. β
"The three days that Uncle Long promised became one day, and I also think there are some problems in it. Xia Wither lowered her head carelessly and whispered like this.
Du Zhong glanced at the prunella grass standing with his head down, shook his head, and said, "I understand what you mean, but the dean will only protect you as his student, so even if the ancient mountain dragon in the Shimmer Tavern does have a problem, the only way is for you to think of it." β
Prunella had no choice but to be silent.
This is the end of the topic. Du Zhong glanced at the stubborn young man in front of him, a touch of warmth flashed in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes and said expressionlessly: "The Gu Shan Dragon of the Shimmer Tavern is indeed the number one person, but with his energy, what he said about delaying you for three days can only be based on the premise that the Marquis Mansion did not realize that something happened to Bai Alum." β
Xia Kucao's eyes lit up, and she thought warmly that he had helped herself in the end, and she couldn't help but be extremely grateful.
But once the other party notices Bai Alum's death and takes the initiative to seek information, delaying for one night with his ability is the limit. So if you want to save him, you must first figure out why the Marquis's Court is aware of Alum's death. β
Du Zhong opened his eyes and changed the subject back a little stiffly, "Then continue to explain what I think is strange. Speaking of this, Du Zhong couldn't help frowning.
"What I wonder is, since three days have become one day, why did the Marquis's Mansion only send these juniors to ask for you...... Instead of offering a stronger lineup?"
"Maybe it's just that they can't come up with a stronger lineup, or maybe they're too jealous of the Academy's reaction, and they don't want to make things irreparable and lose face?"
"It's true that the Marquis of Alberta is not in Giffin," Du Zhong shook his head, glanced at Xia Kucao with some mockery, and continued: "But the dignified Marquis, the blue-blooded nobleman, how can they not move a stronger lineup? It's not that they can't move, but they don't want to. β
"As for the second possibility," Du Zhong's eyes flashed with self-deprecation, "I know you hate nobles, but don't underestimate them too much, you can be called a blue-blooded nobleman, naturally have their ability, and courage is only one of the most basic qualities." β
"Think about it, if you were really what they thought they were a student of the Sealer Academy, where would you be able to carry out your asylum plan in just one night?"
"The first step, of course, was to inform my mentor. Xia Kucao frowned, thinking in her heart, "But I want to come to the academy The tutor will not work all day and night like Dean Shi, so if I was already a student here before last night, now that they come to the door, at most I can only discuss countermeasures with the tutor, and I will definitely not reach the height of the academy." β
"It's Vice Dean Shi, don't be confused. Du Zhong frowned and emphasized, then nodded in recognition of Xia Kucao's conjecture, and continued: "So if they really want to take you back, they should directly sacrifice the strongest lineup and take you away directly with the irresistible pressure of the mentors in the academy, instead of sending the younger generation to trouble you - although those young people are already very good in terms of identity, this is the Giffen Sealmaster Academy after all." β
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the full name of the college in Du Zhong's mouth is missing the word 'Wang Li'.
"What do you mean...... They don't want to take me away from here?" Charlotilla shook her head incredulously, frowned, and said, "But it doesn't make sense. β
"That's why I said things were a little weird. But you don't have to worry about anything-" Du Zhong pointed to the teleportation array there, signaling the conversation to end, "This is the academy after all, no matter what their purpose is, this alone is always unavoidable, and since the dean wants to protect you, then no one can touch you." β
"Finally, before you go, let me remind you. Du Zhong stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the summer withered grass that was already in the array, and the pride that had not been revealed in the previous words finally emanated-
"I don't care what the oddities are, but since you are now a student of the academy, you represent the academy and carry the banner of the dean, so no matter what situation you encounter, you can't disgrace the academy. β
"You're a student representing the Academy, and this is the Academy, so you're the most powerful person in the land, and if you want to be mad and want to win, this is the best stage. β
Finally, he glanced at the summer withered grass that was gradually shrouded in the light of the teleportation array with a little deep meaning, and said very casually: "And if the academy wants to win, it must win beautifully." β
The light fell, and the figure faded.
......
"The junior brother is Prunella vulgaris?"
Xia Kucao, who had just stepped out of the teleportation array, looked at herself a little strangely, and then looked up at the young man in front of him who was dressed similarly to herself, and replied with some confusion: "Hello senior, I am Xia Kucao, but ...... Senior, why do you know that I am me?"
This sentence was a little difficult to understand, but the young man just smiled slightly, pointed to the white belt tied around Xia Kucao's waist, and explained it softly: "The enrollment work of the college this year has not yet ended, so there are no first-year freshmen in the college, as far as I know, you should be the only one, and the white belt tied around your waist represents the identity of first-year freshmen." β
Xia Kucao suddenly thought that the dormitory area where he lived was empty except for himself, and he didn't meet the rest of the students and teachers on the way to Du Zhong, he thought that this college was really big enough to disappear, and it turned out that the campus for freshmen had not been officially opened.
"I'm a third-year student, Wang doesn't stay, you can call me Senior Wang, Vice Dean Du asked me to lead you to the living room. The young man pointed to the yellow belt around his waist and held out his hand in a friendly manner.
Xia Kucao was stunned and held it, shook it up and down, and said respectfully: "Senior Wang is good...... But?"
"I know White Quartz. Wang Buliu smiled and withdrew his hand, pointing to a building behind him, "He's here too." β
......
Xia Kucao, who walked into the living room, glanced at the person who appeared in his eyes, turned around quietly and thanked the senior Wang, until the other party's departing figure completely disappeared from his eyes, then turned around and closed the door.
Unexpectedly, the first person to speak to him was not the son of the Marquis of Alberta.
I saw Bai Quartz take a deep breath, squinting his eyes and frowning, it seemed to be a little painful, but it seemed to be very pleasant, and his expression was so rich that it was difficult to guess what he really thought in his heart, he stepped forward and took the hand of the prunella grass quite kindly, shook it and shook it up and down.
"Accident?" White Quartz raised an eyebrow mischievously.
"Not now, but Senior Wang was quite surprised when he pulled my hand just now. Xia Kucao replied very honestly, then withdrew her hand, and asked very seriously: "Why are you here?
Bai Quartz smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't think too highly of yourself, sir, I was kicked out of bed by the director early this morning, and yelled about you for a long time with my collar in my hand. β
"Accidental?" Prunella raised her eyebrows mischievously.
"Not now, but it was a surprise. Bai Quartz pretended to be honest and nodded, and then smiled maliciously, "I have news here, I guarantee that you will be even more surprised when you hear it." β
"It's okay, I'm just here to be mad, no matter how bad your news is, it probably just made me send it out in advance. β
"Crazy?" Bai Quartz was obviously a little surprised--there are often heroes who kill people in anger - although it is indeed rare to kill blue-blooded nobles, but after a night, there are absolutely few people who are not afraid and dare to go against the guest, this kid in front of him is either bold or has a master to guide the way, but today's events have little to do with him, so he just shrugged his shoulders, patted Xia Kucao on the shoulder cordially, and said with an attitude of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things:" It's a good idea, remember to help me send it, master, my waking up gas has nowhere to release so far, and I'm a little aggrieved. β
"Well, what the hell is your news?"
"Oh~ It's nothing, it's just that my original name is Bai Jie, and the white alum you killed last night is actually my own brother. Bai Quartz said with a nonchalant expression.
