Chapter 49 A fateful encounter
Caesar snorted, his face was very calm at the moment, and asked, "So, now that the news is public, right? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Yes. ”
"The colonels who have probably forgotten that I am also known?"
"Not bad. ”
"That's ......"
The courtyard was very quiet, and the slight collision of Hughes putting the washed dishes and chopsticks away could be heard in the distance, as well as the sound of rushing water. Hughes didn't seem to care about anything, but he seemed to be serious about everything, and the dishes he washed were absolutely clean enough to be faulty.
Caesar walked to the window and looked through the glass of the window, which was not very large, at the blue sky beyond the high walls of the small courtyard.
He had lived in this secluded courtyard for half a year, and Caesar had never left, and he could not hear the sound outside the courtyard, but he could already imagine it.
The astonishment, disdain, mockery, and even schadenfrefreude of those who have received the message now!
Looking back on this matter, General Long was impartial and selfless, but after all, he didn't help himself, he just acted impartially.
The colonels are more like the people around them when they were children, they look down on themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and they don't look down on themselves as disobedient little ghosts.
And General Lan, who seems to be the only one who has handed him a goodwill olive branch, did give himself a very good opportunity, but with cruel conditions attached.
It's not so much a chance to give yourself a chance as it is a deal.
Facing an opponent who is stronger than his own teacher, now that he has reached level 12 after half a year of intensive cultivation, he is already far ahead of his peers who can be his opponent, can he win?
Caesar didn't know.
I really don't know.
And, strangely, he didn't care much about winning or not at this time.
All the things of the past six months seemed to pass through Caesar's mind at this time.
The details that were once overlooked, the misinterpreted meanings, and the beauty that were taken for granted were all stripped of the veneer of the decoration at this moment, revealing their true appearance.
It's not very unhappy, is it...... In the end, General Long did not punish himself too severely, and in the choice questions that General Lan gave himself, there was still half of it that was infinitely good.
Those colonels didn't hate themselves from the beginning, but they were disgusted because they were not rational and obedient enough as an important role in the Dragon Dao.
The old woman looked at the young man's back, and her spine was straighter than ever, but it made people feel very lonely inexplicably.
Caesar suddenly asked, "In this world, in such a world, what should I live for?"
He didn't ask why the world was the way it was, or why it was the way it was, but with an attitude of tacit acceptance that the world was like this, and on the premise of that, he asked me what should I do.
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and being able to ask this question showed that the child in front of her was strong enough.
For half a year, the old woman had been observing Caesar, she had actually heard of Caesar for a long time, and before she really met Caesar, and even for a period of time when she first met Caesar, she didn't really care about this young man who was valued by many people in the military department.
But after half a year of getting along, a lot of things have changed imperceptibly.
The old woman had been silently observing Caesar, and it was certain that the young man's talent in combat was simply incomparable, in fact, it was not only Caesar, the child named Hughes, who was also a super genius in combat, was actually no worse than Caesar.
But Caesar had too many things to take for granted in his perception of the world.
The old woman thought for a moment and said, "The longer you live, the more you will find that there are only a few people in this world who are really kind enough. First of all, people have to live for themselves. Those who are not good enough for you are not necessarily evil. General Long lives for the fairness and principles in his heart. General Lan lived to defeat the battle mages in the north, and was ruthless to everyone, including himself, and even sent his most beloved student to the north to lurk...... I don't know much about female generals, but I guess I lived for some creed. ”
"So what?" asked Caesar.
Therefore, the first option, think clearly about what your principles are, and if you can confirm it, stick to living for it, and don't think too much about it. To put it simply, it's about living for yourself. ”
Caesar scratched his head and asked, "You said the first option, then there is a second option?"
The old woman said, "That's a lucky enough situation, and I think I will be happy to find someone who is truly worthy of living and fighting for him/her." ”
Caesar turned around and asked very seriously, "What kind of person is really worthy?"
Without thinking, the old woman said, "For your sake, you can give up the principles of your heart, and you can give up your own people." Or, take you as the one who has the principle in mind. ”
Caesar nodded, didn't ask anything more on this question, and instead said, "Tomorrow is the day of the battle, I want to go out for a walk tonight, is that okay?"
According to the rules, this is actually not allowed.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "Don't go out for too long." ”
Tonight's imperial capital is no different from usual.
In terms of geographical location, the imperial capital is located in the northernmost part of the entire empire, stuck in the only gap in the Hengduan Mountains, in other words, there is no barrier outside the imperial capital, the imperial capital itself is the barrier of the empire, the most solid city wall, giving the entire empire a sense of security at the same time, but also under great pressure.
But a hundred years of relative peace have made too many people forget the horror of war, even the people of the imperial capital.
People should go out on the streets, they should eat, they should play, they should go on dates.
As for the battle between Caesar and Levi, even the vast majority of lieutenant colonels and majors in the empire did not know, let alone ordinary residents of the empire?
The imperial capital also has Earth Street, although it is not as brilliant as the Earth Street headquarters in Phoenix, but it is much more powerful than that of Aoki City, and it has more of the unique grandeur and atmosphere of the imperial capital.
At this time, at the beginning of the moon, the earth street was crowded, and in front of a well-known snack bar, several teenagers and girls and a young man who looked quite calm were eating.
The boys and girls were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and at first glance they looked no different from the ordinary residents around them, but if you look at some of the details of their behavior, you will find that they are fundamentally different from the others.
They are all young and promising professionals. And unlike ordinary wind and thunder mages, these teenagers and girls are all students in the dragon awakener class of the three major courtyards of the imperial capital.
The so-called Dragon Awakener is a wind and thunder mage who has awakened the ability of dragon awakening in the ruins of the dragon clan.
There are also outliers among the Dragon Awakeners, and that is the people who have gained abilities in the Dragon Path, the number one dragon ruins.
These teenagers and girls in front of them are such people.
Same with Caesar.
"Thank you, teacher, for inviting us out to the party every week to eat delicious food. A young girl who looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, but who already had a little charm between her eyebrows, said to the calm young man with a smile.
"You're welcome, it's fine anyway. The young man said lightly.
"Tomorrow weekend, why don't we find a place to get together again?" A chubby young man next to him rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "Teacher, the elders in my family have always been looking for a chance to meet you......
Before he finished speaking, the charming girl who spoke before laughed: "Hey, it's good if you have something to say, people like our teacher, the big family in the imperial capital actually wants to get acquainted, right?"
The chubby boy didn't deny it, he happily admitted it, and then continued: "To be honest, I was a little dissatisfied with the military department for sending a person who had never been to the Dragon Road and was not even a Dragon Awakener, to be the teacher of our group of people. Of course, now it's convincing. ”
These teenagers and girls are all arrogant people, but there is an unconcealed admiration for the calm young man in their words.
What's more, there is no excessive flattery, but sincere praise and admiration, which is remarkable and rare.
I saw that the calm young man hesitated slightly, and finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, let's do it another day, not tomorrow." ”
"Oh, not tomorrow? Why? Teacher, didn't you say that you are usually idle on weekends, and you have nothing else to do except go reading books or finding a place to practice?" asked another young man with a very pale face.
The calm young man said lightly: "Tomorrow, there will be some official business." ”
Several teenagers and girls looked at each other, and they could see the surprise and doubt in each other's eyes. Smart and sensitive like them, they can naturally hear that this is a little unusual, but the calm young man didn't mean to say much, and a few people didn't ask much.
Several of them were the best of the young generation of the empire, except for a few people such as Long Qiqi and His Royal Highness Nono of the Forest Clan, the rest of them were not even qualified to be compared to them.
And the young man beside them is the first person in the young generation of the empire, perhaps only the mysterious Phoenix Major of the military department, who is comparable to their teacher......
But Phoenix has already determined that it is from General Blue's side, and there is no possibility of wooing.
This young man is different, as we all know, he doesn't have any military rank at the moment, regardless of his strength or title, he is only the teacher of the Dragon Awakening Class of the Three Great Academies.
The group changed the subject, talked casually, and wandered around Earth Street.
Until a certain moment, the charming girl and the slightly chubby boy suddenly stopped, staring at a certain place in front of them with different faces, to be precise, staring at a figure walking in front of them.
"What's wrong?" the white-faced boy looked at strangely, and caught his eye on a tall boy who looked about his age, maybe a little smaller, but rather strong.
The young man was wearing some shabby clothes, and he looked like he hadn't changed into new clothes for a long time, and there was a little sullenness between his eyebrows and eyes, and even some loss that didn't fit his age.
The white-faced boy didn't know the boy.
But looking at the faces of the two companions next to him, they obviously knew each other.
At this moment, the young man on the opposite side happened to look over, and the moment he saw the charming girl and the slightly chubby boy, he was obviously stunned, and then nodded slightly and said, "Coincidentally, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
The charming girl didn't say anything, and the slightly chubby young man said with a slightly complicated face: "Yes, I haven't seen you since Long Dao said goodbye...... Caesar. ”
