Du Chen's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he said in his heart, "Teacher Ziggy, what's wrong with today!, could it be that purple-haired iceman just now that he offended him!?"

Ziggy frowned slightly, his hands trembled, he unconsciously pulled off two whiskers, the corners of his mouth trembled in pain, and he secretly said in his heart, oops, it turned out that Francis was here, no wonder the porter below didn't give a report! The tone of what he subconsciously said was too heavy, how could he take it back?

My heart moves!

Ziggy still had a straight face, and hummed: "How many times have I taught you, you have to have rules for everything, but you still haven't learned!" After speaking, he suddenly smiled, "Remember next time, did you hear it!? I won't punish you this time......

Damn, Teacher Ziggy was joking with himself! Du Chen's doubts suddenly disappeared, he bowed exaggeratedly ninety degrees, and said with a long smile: "Learn~student~remember~stay~!"

Ziggy also smiled, got up one in each hand, picked up the two children, and glanced at Yukihime in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Du Chen hurriedly introduced, "Teacher, this is my fiancée Xue Ji, a native of Einslanning, and I am here to visit your old man!"

"Oh, you're already married!" Ziggy raised his eyebrows, suddenly smiled, looked up and down at the cramped and nervous Xue Ji a few times, and nodded again and again, "Okay, good, good!"

The three words 'good' in a row made Xue Ji's nervousness a little lighter, but there was a faint pain in her heart, Einslanning? When did she have this nationality? Alas, how could Yali even deceive her teacher who was as close as her father!? She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but after thinking about it, why wasn't she also deceiving Teacher Margaret? What reason did she have to blame her lover? Yali did this for the sake of our future! If she complained because of this, it would really be too much to disappoint Yali's pains...... Thinking of this, Xue Ji leaned softly beside Du Chen, smiling and gossiping with Ziggy.

After talking a few words, Du Chen asked casually: "Teacher, who is the person who went out just now?" There seems to be something wrong with his body, and he can't control his breath!"

This casual question made Ziggy chuckle in his heart!

With his mind racing, Ziggy slammed the table with a look of anger on his face, "Don't mention it, hmph......! There are no rules at all! Fang is an old friend of mine who wants me to forcibly 'recommend' a few high-level fighting gods of the Divine Academy, hmph, don't you think this is nonsense?"

As expected, he came to 'go through the back door'! Du Chen didn't care, and accompanied the teacher to reproach the purple-haired iceman a few words, but no one noticed that when Ziggy spoke, the little Beibei in his arms was wide-eyed, and he kept secretly looking at his grandfather curiously...... Du Chen chatted with the teacher for a long time, until a teacher sent a document, he got up to say goodbye, took Xue Ji to the corridor with his hand, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Teacher Zige is still a little different from the rumors, although he is a little old-fashioned, but he is a virtuous elder!"

Xue Ji nodded, blushing, "Yes, I'm still a little nervous just now, but his old man is really kind." ”

"No, no!" Little Beibei suddenly shook her head, "No, Dad, grandpa is so strange today!"

Du Chen was stunned for a moment, and picked up his daughter, "What did Bei Bei see?"

The little guy thought for a moment, "In the past, the old man's mental fluctuations were very gentle, but when it comes to the purple-haired man...... It fluctuates so fast!"

Mental fluctuations are fast, which means that Ziggy is emotionally unstable when he talks, or to put it simply, the old man is suspected of lying!

Du Chen touched his nose and hesitated: "Maybe the teacher doesn't want to mention any confidential matters of the academy, right? Forget it, we won't care about his old man's affairs!" The family walked out of the crystal building and went straight to the dormitory area to visit their old classmates.

But just as they walked out of the building, a pair of gloomy eyes were on the highest floor of the building, staring at the back of the family through the window!

The purple-haired iceman returned to Ziggy's office, staring at Du Chen outside at the window, and said, "They saw my face!"

Ziggy completely lost the appearance of 'kindness, Dexun' in the mouth of the juniors, his face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "What do you mean by this?

The Iceman said lightly: "You know, in this case, I have to kill them, this is our rule!"

Ziggy sneered, "I warn you, Francis is my student, if you want to move him, ask me first!"

The iceman glanced back at Zig, his face was disdainful, and he didn't seem to take Ziggy's threat to heart at all, paced to the office table, supported the desk with both hands, leaned over and stared at Zig and came to him, and a cold breath followed!

"Okay! I'll ask you now...... I'm going to kill your student, you, the father of the world's fighting gods, noble and unparalleled, raise your arms and exhale, do you have any opinion on Dean Zige, who serves the thousands of fighting gods?" The second half of the sentence seems to be flattering, but the iceman's yin and yang weird tone makes children hear the mockery!

Zigge's triangular eyes flashed sharply, and he said, "Are you threatening me?"

The Iceman laughed weirdly, "That's right, I'm just threatening you! Say it again, I'm going to kill your students, do you have any opinions?" Without waiting for Ziggy to retort, he slowly raised a finger and shook it, "Don't forget, this rule was set by 'her'!"

Hearing this 'she', Zigger's breath froze, and he sat down in his chair gloomily, and after a long time, he frowned and said: "Francis's strength is even higher than mine, and you want to kill him too?"

"Do you have to use vindictiveness to kill? You should know this better than I do......

At this time, Du Chen had disappeared into the square outside the window, and the iceman also turned around and walked out the door.

Ziggy suddenly got up and slammed the table, "Third child, I warn you! Dare to kill my students on the island of the fighting god, I will never let you go!"

"Oh, what did I hear?" The iceman withdrew one leg that stepped out of the threshold, turned his head and smiled, and then scolded angrily: "After fifty years of being the dean, do you really regard yourself as the father of the fighting gods!? Boss, my eldest brother, don't forget who you are! Third brother, I'll wait to see how you don't let me go!"

Bang, the iceman slammed the door and left!

Ziggy trembled with anger, gritted his teeth, and sat back in his chair, thinking about it for a long, long time...... He suddenly rang the bell on the table, coughed lightly, his voice became serious, and he commanded the brass under the bell, "Provost Ricardo? I'm Zige! I just received a crystal-level secret report from the Holy See, saying that spies of unknown forces have infiltrated Doushen Island in an attempt to cause chaos during the recruitment conference, and it is initially suspected that it is the Demon Clan! You have secretly strengthened the protection of the representatives of the major forces, especially the prevention of spiritual assassination and viruses!"

After a pause, Ziggy especially emphasized, "Now that the great cause of anti-demon is more important than everything, an alliance theater commander like Francis must be more strictly protected, that's all, you can do it immediately, remember, transfer experts from the Divine Academy to strengthen the prevention of spiritual assassination techniques and viruses!"

After speaking, Ziegy leaned back in his chair weakly, sighed dejectedly, and touched his cheek, "Fifty years...... Who am I? Hmph! Lao Tzu is the dean of the Fighting God Academy, Zigger!"

...... Du Chen led Xue Ji around the dormitory area of the five major departments, and saw many old friends, but he was disappointed and surprised.

Disappointingly, some of the best old brothers of the year could not go to Dulkes City to work in politics - Sino Dwarf Sem himself was a prince, and when he graduated and returned to become a king, he naturally would not be a district official. And the fat man Jason's family has a big business, and he is ambitiously preparing to be the king of trade, of course, he does not look down on the post of Minister of Finance and Taxation of Du Cheng...... As soon as Du Chen knocked on the door, hey, it was actually the exchange student Martin who lived at his door back then, and he also graduated this year...... It's all given by Du Chen!

Speaking of this Martin, Du Chen also asked Jamis during the Emerald Sea secret meeting, why did he specifically kidnap this seemingly honest exchange student back then? Jamis replied with a big grin, "We deceive a lot of people, as long as there are potential young people, we will deceive them, but you haven't seen it!"

was assessed by Jamis as potential, and received his own great favor, so he was grateful to Dade when he met, bowed and thanked him...... Anyway, Martin didn't say a word, threw the undelivered resume and a few interview notices into the trash, and followed Du Chen with his duffel bag.

Of course, Du Chen, who tasted the sweetness, boldly renewed the lease of the No. 17 dormitory, and gave it to an outstanding poor student in the lower grades.

In the evening, Du Chen led back to the hotel in the city, after dinner, Martin went to the academic affairs office to handle the file, and Cassini, who had been busy all day, also came back, casually threw Du Chen more than 20 resumes, and said coldly: "No, this is the intention to come to Durks City today, you can pick it!"

Du Chenchao didn't care about Cassini's attitude, but after flipping through his resume, he was stunned, "Why is it almost garbage?"

Cassini glanced at Du Chen, turned over and picked out a file from his resume and smashed it on Du Chen's chest, "Look for yourself!"

This is a recruitment notice for Durks City, and Du Chen smiled at a few of them: "The lord of our city is the first-class duke of Lanning, a three-star general, the prefect of the Great Triangle Theater of the Holy Alliance, and the law of Yilanning can give his subordinates the title of the highest first-class earl, the rank of brigadier general, and in addition, the lord of our city is the richest man in Lanning...... Seems pretty good, huh?"

"Not bad!?" Cassini threw Du Chen a few more files, "Look at other forces! Don't say anything else, Lanning came to recruit Prime Minister Antoine personally this time, and the price offered is a first-class viscount for ordinary graduates, and the rank of military commander!" And if the graduate students of the Academy of Gods are willing to go to Lanning, Antoine will be able to confer the title of third-class marquis on the spot with twenty blank edicts!"

Du Chen secretly said to himself, His Majesty Balgena is really generous, but it is not too much, what kind of place is that in the Courtyard of the Gods? Although the military ability of Lucy's old grandmother can only lead a team of personal soldiers when she dies, it is at least at the level of a fierce general, right? But she is ranked third in the military formation of the Courtyard of the Gods! If you recruit a continental warrior with only one marquis, no matter how you calculate it, Balgener will not lose!

What was the most valuable god of the thirteenth century?

Talent!

Cassini picked out the resumes that were not considered 'garbage' in Du Chen's mouth, and pointed out: "In terms of treatment, we are subject to the law, and we can't compare with the major powers at all! I can only make up for the title with a high salary, and these are just for the money!"

Du Chen frowned, shook his hand and threw away these resumes that were rushing for money!

"The other few are good, one of them is a fanatical believer in the Holy See, and he is willing to follow you as a godfather regardless of treatment, and the other is a native of Newin, who wants to return to his hometown, and in the end, these people have received the favor of your hypocrisy, and they are not treated well, but they are rushing to repay your kindness!"

Cassini said angrily with disdain: "There are dozens of other people who were also going to repay the favor, as long as the treatment is almost the same, they will definitely be able to come, but as soon as they saw the price you offered, they turned around and ran to Antoine...... Damn ungrateful!"

Du Chen smiled, he had seen too much of the good deeds he had done over the years...... At present, there are still a few people who know how to repay the favor in the end, which has made Du Chen very satisfied! patted his resume, "The last few you said should be left! The amount of money is arranged, I can't give more in the title, don't be stingy with money, just open it casually, don't be too outrageous!"

Cassini nodded, "Also, today's major forces are all big shots in person, and tomorrow you can go in person, with your hypocritical smile, maybe you can attract a few more people!"

Du Chen squinted his eyes at Cassini with a smile, "Hypocrisy, my little junior brother, even if my smile is really hypocritical, but among the billions of human beings in the three continents, more than ninety percent of them say that I smile kindly and kindly, then, my smile is goodwill, you say I am hypocritical, others will only scold you for being non-mainstream...... Understood?"

Cassini was choked up, but he couldn't say anything to refute it!

Du Chen got up and patted the little junior brother on the shoulder, "Learn slowly, when you really understand my smile, you can return to China to be your Yaqin overlord!"

Cassini was puzzled, Du Chen walked to the door and turned his head and smiled, "I'll go to recruit in person tomorrow, you stay here to watch the children, but a student named Martin will come over tonight, you can take an assessment and give me a report!"

...... Early the next morning, Du Chen and Xue Ji were walking on the way to recruitment, Martin ran over in a panic, timidly handed Du Chen a sealed dossier, bowed his head and whispered: "Big, my lord, this is from Chief Cassini for you, about, about my appraisal ......"

The dossier was well sealed, Du Chen smiled slightly, and opened it after taking it.

Martin's palms were sweating, he lowered his head and followed behind, not daring to look at the lord who was reading the appraisal certificate, and explained in a low voice, "My lord, I was too nervous during the interview last night, and I may not have performed well, you ......"

Du Chen looked at the file and smiled, as a student of Leah, Cassini's appraisal is also very similar to Leah's style - the sixth-level fighting god Martin, excellent loyalty, good internal affairs ability, good military ability, excellent planning ability, and diplomatic ability...... Disaster!

It is recommended to serve as a staff officer of the staff headquarters of the City Lord's Mansion, a first-class viscount!

He handed the file to Martin, "Alright, Your Excellency Viscount Martin, follow me to the recruitment!"

Martin exhaled with relief...... The recruitment of the Doushen Academy is actually very simple, ask the servants to hang out the banner and recruitment conditions in the Doushen Square, and the students can refer to it by themselves, and Du Chen only needs to sit in the viewing attic of the Hot Spring Mountain, waiting for the assessment of the graduates who are willing to come to Ducheng, and the details will be handled by the faculty of the academy and Martin, the new staff officer.

Although there are hundreds of people in the attic of the university, it is orderly, and in the hall on the first floor, several rows of seats are full of students waiting for the assessment and interview, and the examiners are sitting in the private rooms on the upper floor of the attic. Du Chen had just come to the private room and sat down, only to hear a loud laugh not far away, "Your Excellency Duke, I heard that Your Excellency is engaged, is this your fiancée?"

Du Chen turned his head to look, frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Prime Minister Antoine, you are next door to me?"

Antoine said with a smile: "This private room is divided according to the region, and our major lords of Lanning are nearby!"

Du Chen looked left and right, and sure enough, the neighborhood was full of old friends who were familiar with Lanning's political arena!

Antoine's door lined up in front of a long line, and after a few polite words, he began to get busy, while Du Chen was deserted in front of the door, and no one came to the door for half a day, time passed little by little, from morning to afternoon, and then to evening, Antoine's door was replaced like a marquee, but Du Chen's door was deserted, and there were only seventeen or eighteen resumes on the desktop, and the transcript inside was opened...... Disaster, great disaster!

For a whole day, Du Chen only sent two mediocre, but good character students to find Casini for assessment, at night Du Chen really couldn't bear to see Xue Ji suffer with her, so he asked her to go out for a walk, but as soon as Xue Ji left, Antoine beckoned through the window and led Du Chen to a secluded place.

Antoine looked sad, "Francis, do you have any news of Avril?"

Du Chen was stunned and said: "I haven't seen Avril for three years, you are her grandfather, don't you know her news?"

Antoine nodded in disappointment, "Avril told me two years ago that she was going on a study tour, but she never returned...... Alas, I thought she would come to you for this graduation recruitment, but you don't know!"

The old man's face was sad, and all his worries about his granddaughter were written on his face!

Du Chen sighed in his heart and reminded: "Prime Minister, you can go to Anne of the Batuk family and ask, she may know!"

Antoine's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you!" His expression became serious again, and he lowered his voice, "But Your Excellency, private affairs are private affairs, and official affairs must not be delayed...... I didn't find you yesterday, now I will accept His Majesty's secret edict - the major lords of Lanning will cooperate with Prime Minister Antoine to recruit talents, submit all the resumes they receive to the Prime Minister, and keep copies for themselves!"

Didn't Antoine mean that the good people should let him pick first, and I, Francis, could only eat leftovers!?

Du Chen's face immediately became gloomy, and he sneered: "Prime Minister, the forced talents are not the right way after all, let's rely on our own abilities!"

Antoine snorted, "Don't be angry at me old man, I'm just acting on orders!"

"Yes, Lord Francis, in fact, only those who the lord has obtained are invited to His Majesty first, this is a secret rule for many years!" Several Lanning lords on the side also came over, with more or less reluctant expressions on their faces, but they were also very helpless!

As soon as they came over, they immediately stood beside Du Chen and surrounded Antoine.

But before they could speak, Antoine glanced coldly, "You are all here, don't say anything, I understand what you mean, I know that you are not satisfied with this secret call! So you are all waiting for Francis to lead the disobedience, and then be a follower, both to reap the benefits and to wear the hat of not being accountable to the people, right?"

A few lords blushed, and a few of them stood firmly behind Du Chen!

Antoine was right, the lords were not satisfied with this secret summons, but no one dared to disobey the order, and they were all waiting for the brave Du Chen to make the first bird!

Antoine's face turned cold, and he pulled Du Chen away a few steps, and said seriously: "I'm just an old man who is about to retire now, I just want to find my granddaughter back, and I don't have the strength to fight with you! I know that you have the courage and strength to disobey now, but why bother? Look at the team in front of my door, and then look at your door...... Even if you compete fairly, you will never be able to compete with Your Majesty, so why bother to fight with Your Majesty for the impossible!?"

This is a big truth, the two of them are indeed clearly distinguished, one is busy, and the other is crowded!

Antoine said again: "Now that you are the strongest lord in the country, and the other lords are staring at you, anyway, the treatment you offer can't attract many talents, why bother to be a bird and find Your Majesty's bad luck?"

Du Chen rubbed his nose hard, what Antoine said did make sense, but it sounded ...... Why the fuck are you holding your breath so much!?

In terms of strength, he is not bad! In terms of prestige, he is far superior to Bargner, the king of Lanning, but in terms of how much benefit he can give to others...... Du Chen gave people gold coins at most, and some fictitious titles, but Bargener could easily shoot a large piece of territory! On the one hand, wealth and fictitious positions, on the other hand, real land and slaves, and power, there is no doubt how graduates choose!

Seeing that Du Chen was a little moved, Antoine was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "That's it, I'll give you water in private, you accept His Majesty's secret call in your face, don't give those lords a chance to make trouble, and after the conference is over, I will privately divide a few good young people with you, isn't this okay?" patted Du Chen on the shoulder, "Say something that is not afraid of offending you, I believe you yourself understand, accept my conditions, and the talents you get afterwards are better than those you can recruit yourself...... Much more!"

Du Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, Antoine is really interesting!

Alas, that's it!

Du Chen was about to open his mouth to agree, but at this moment, there was a sudden uproar in the hall on the first floor, "Oh my God, why did they appear here together!......?

"Oh my God, the commander of the Third Army of the Sauber Empire that I fancy can't be saved......"

"Damn, what are they coming to rob us ordinary graduates!"

"It's over, what chance do we have!?"

"Forget it, let's go, it's not our turn to be a good position, let's go to Francis's booth and have a look, at least he gives ...... more money"

On the second floor, Du Chen's face was pale, and he almost kicked his 'stall'.

The lords couldn't help but laugh, but when they thought about themselves, they couldn't laugh anymore - we weren't even as good as Francis!

Antoine wanted to laugh too, but he couldn't help it, and at this time, 'Knock, knock!!' A civil official came to Antoine with a hurried running voice, looking very anxious, "Prime Minister, it's not good!"

Antoine was shocked, "What's going on!?"

"The top 10 graduate students in the overall score of the Seminary of Gods appeared together, and ...... Everybody's holding resumes!"

At this time, I only heard the big people in the major private rooms on the second floor walked out one after another, although they were dignified on the surface, and walked to the first floor carelessly, but the hurried steps under their feet betrayed them deeply!

Antoine's expression changed abruptly, "Francis, let's talk about it later!" After speaking, he quickly joined the team of the big shots, and the impression of Corporal Lixian must be made first!

Du Chen looked at the big men and pouted, is it ridiculous? But this kind of thing is staged every year, and now these big people may be ridiculed, but tomorrow, they will be able to return to their country with a future famous general of the three continents, and the day after tomorrow, this famous general will be able to lay down a big territory for him!!

It can expand its territory, enrich the city-states, and be invincible in the changes of the three continents...... That's talent!

For all of this, what about being ridiculed for two sentences!?

Ten people, old and young, male and female, came together to the staircase leading to the second floor, just in time to install the big shots!

The old prime minister glanced at ten people, chose the first one who was about the same age as him and smiled, "This old brother ......"

"Hehe, this old man!" the old man interrupted him with a smile, "I'm just a bad old man who has been repeating a grade in the War Artifact Section of the Courtyard of the Gods for more than fifty years, and I just want to earn some coffin books while I can still do it, so I won't bother you...... Will you give way?"

The muscles on Antoine's face were a little stiff, and he had repeated a grade for more than 50 years? You are lying! You have clearly studied the weapons of war for more than 50 years, and you are an expert in the decisive battle of weapons on the battlefield...... Dodging past the old man, Antoine smiled at the second middle-aged woman. Before he could speak, the woman smiled and said, "It's Prime Minister Antoine, right? I'm just a peasant woman who farms the land...... Let's give it a go, okay?"

As soon as Antoine gave way to the woman, a queen-like figure immediately pounced on her and held the lady's hand tightly, "Sister Colin, last time there was a three-year drought in our country, thanks to you who saved my people with the ice crystal array that led the water from all over the world, please give me a chance to thank me today anyway, let's talk here?"

Antoine turned his gaze to the third person, the third was the appearance of a young bard, he was even more straightforward, and pushed Antoine away, "Little guy let go, I'm in a hurry!"

Antoine's beard is all white, little one, how old is this young poet!?

In the kind words of 'let go, sorry' all the way, ten people passed through the staircase crowded by the big people, finally squeezed up the second floor, determined the direction, and walked with their feet up, as if they had already determined their goal.

The big guys sighed secretly, knowing that they had no chance, so they stopped doing these embarrassing things, and returned to their private rooms to assess other students, but their eyes were aimed at ten people!

Antoine had planned not to join in the fun, but the ten people were walking in the direction of his private room, and he could only follow cheekily, at the end of the corridor...... Du Chen grinded for a day, he was already impatient, and he didn't care about his image at the moment, squatting in the open space of the corridor while there were few people. The other Lanning lords saw him squatting, hesitated for a while, and also squatted down with Du Chen, and several people gathered in a circle.

Du Chen squinted and said, "I squatted down when I was tired, what are you squatting down?"

"Brother Francis, we are both lords of Lanning, and we are all neighbors, so I won't talk to you about anything else......"

"That's right, it seems that the situation today is still the same as in previous years, and we can't get any good goods! But I just heard the noise on the first floor...... There are a lot of money-hungry students this year!"

Du Chen raised his eyebrows, "Looking for me to borrow money?"

"Brother Mingjian!"

Du Chen touched his nose and sighed, "Alas, everyone is a difficult brother, and I haven't caught any good goods on this trip......"

Syllable!

Someone in the back patted Du Chen's shoulder, Du Chen turned his head and glanced at it, it was an old and bad old man, barely maintaining his image and smiled: "Old man, is there something wrong?"

The old man pushed away the lord beside Du Chen, and squatted on Du Chen's left, "Little brother, didn't you find any good goods?"

Talking is better than nothing, Du Chen squatted and raised his left hand, "Take a resume first!"

Bang! Bang...... Under the incredible eyes of the big man in the room, ten resumes in a row smashed into Du Chen's hands!
