Chapter 57 List of Concerns
The colonels who had been prejudiced against themselves now had nothing to say, which was certainly good for Caesar. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But why did General Blue say that it was good for him too?
General Lan stared at Caesar deeply, and slowly continued: "Before, our three generals didn't like you, compared to a considerable number of colonels who didn't like you, the reasons are actually different. Let's talk about myself, your disobedience was an important reason why I was dissatisfied with you, but there was another unspoken reason, that is, your elemental attributes were too pure, almost all of them were thunder attributes, but they didn't mutate into a green god. ”
Caesar frowned and asked, "Is this strange?"
Carefully recalling all the cultivation books he had read so far, Caesar did not remember seeing a similar argument.
General Lan nodded and said affirmatively, "It's strange. Without explaining anything, he continued, "As for the reasons why the colonels don't like you...... Hehe, you must know that the colonels are not only from the military department, they are also members of their respective families. ”
Caesar immediately thought of something, his eyelids jumped slightly, and he asked with a sinking face, "Twelve round tables?"
General Lan nodded, then shook his head again, and sighed a little in his tone: "There are twelve round tables, but there are also a considerable number of people who do not belong to the twelve round tables, but are also people from the first-class big families in the imperial capital. In comparison, there are too few people who are born as civilians and reach the rank of colonel. ”
Caesar couldn't help but fall silent.
In this world, professionals are a minority, and high-level professionals above the fifteenth level are even more of a few, they not only need talent, but also need the support of a lot of resources.
Although the empire has established a large number of teaching institutions, such as the military department behind all military academies, and the military department itself will provide corresponding cultivation resources for all soldiers and school officers regardless of background and talent, there is still an undeniable fact, that is, among the children of large families, the proportion of high-level professionals is significantly higher.
"Caesar, what you did before, including the grudge between you and the Twelve Round Table, simply put, Caesar, the image of you in the minds of the people of the big family is not what they want to see. General Lan's voice was a little leisurely, but it was a little unusual, "Deep down, they don't want to see people like you rise. Of course, I don't mean all of them, but it is true that a significant number of people think so. ”
Caesar was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't want to talk about this topic anymore. After a pause, he shrugged his shoulders and added, "They've all shut up now, anyway." ”
General Lan smiled and didn't say anything. He could see that Caesar was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and he was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to continue the topic.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" General Lan asked with a smile no longer on the subject of the colonel.
Caesar hesitated for a moment before asking, "Teacher Lan, how is she?"
The matter of the phoenix's forced entry that day was completely against the will of General Lan in Caesar's opinion, so he was actually very worried that the teacher would be punished because of herself.
Unexpectedly, General Lan just said lightly: "She's fine, you don't have to worry about it at all." ”
"Oh, that's good. Caesar breathed a sigh of relief, this answer was a bit unexpected, so that he didn't know how to answer, thought for a moment, and asked, "How is Levi?"
Although he was his opponent and almost killed himself, Caesar actually had a good impression of the taciturn young man and admired the opponent's fighting skills.
This time, General Lan said a few more words: "He was injured much more seriously than you, you were in a coma caused by overdraft, but he was almost beaten by you and fell to the level, but fortunately he woke up yesterday evening and is currently in stable condition." ”
Caesar nodded, and said no more.
Overall, it was a good breakfast, and the after-dinner conversation was like casual chit-chat.
After passing the test of life and death of General Lan, when Caesar faced General Blue again, he felt that the other party was a very good person, very similar to the period of Alcana, it seemed that the cruel and iron-blooded General Blue after the disobedience incident half a year ago was just a temporary illusion.
To be honest, Caesar thought that Teacher Lan would be punished more severely this time, but in fact he didn't, not even the slightest influence and implication.
This made Caesar feel a little strange.
"Maybe General Lan is actually a very protective person. Caesar thought to himself. But he looked at General Lan in front of him, and still felt that he didn't know what kind of person the other party was.
After chatting like this for more than half an hour, General Lan suddenly asked someone to bring some spirits, and after the wine was in his stomach, the imperial general, who was a little unpredictable in Caesar's eyes, stood up, faced the early morning sun, and said slowly: "You are probably a little strange, why did I come to you today but only talk about some things......
"Don't dare. Caesar said, pausing and adding, "Actually, I think it's good to gossip." ”
General Lan didn't seem to hear Caesar's words, and continued to himself: "In this world, there are not many people and things that can make me care. The guys in the north are naturally at the top of the list. And within the empire, the affairs of the military department are worrying, and there are many problems that need to be solved urgently in the country, but there are not many that I really care about and can't see through. ”
Speaking of this, General Lan pointed at Caesar: "You are one." The gray armor that appeared once in Ryudo and Aoki Castle and then disappeared to this day is considered one. Also, that Master Yi at the Earth Street Masquerade Banquet last winter, hmph, that guy is also one. ”
Caesar's eyelids twitched violently twice every time General Lan said someone he cared about, and he didn't know what to say at all.
It's really uncomfortable to be targeted by a general and put on the "list you care about the most", especially when all three of your identities are targeted!
"I thought you cared most about the female general who had been at odds with you. Caesar laughed, half-jokingly.
General Lan snorted and said nonchalantly, "She just hates me as a person, and she won't really go against me, at least not on key matters." ”
"General, is there anything else you care about?" asked Caesar tentatively.
"That friend of yours, Hughes, is one too. General Lan said with some deep meaning, "He, like you, has a lot of secrets......
Well, Caesar touched his nose and felt that it was better to keep his mouth shut.
It seems that although General Lan accepted himself and had no intention of snooping into his secrets for the time being, he had never relaxed his close attention to himself in his heart.
It feels like you're under a giant searchlight.
And Caesar did not forget, so far said so far, General Lan did not explain his first sentence, that is, why the colonels shut up, but General Blue was happy.
Just when Caesar began to feel some invisible pressure and began to feel uncomfortable, General Lan suddenly said, "After the meal has been eaten, the wine has been drunk, let's go." ”
"Ahh
I saw General Lan put down the wine bottle in his hand, smiled strangely, and said, "I'll take you with me to deal with the things I care about the most." ”
There is one thing Caesar didn't know, and that is that General Blue doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays. Only when something big is coming that really makes him feel uncertain, he will drink to boost his morale.
Familiar places, and even familiar people, after a few days, Caesar came to the Hall of Wind and Thunder again.
The ceiling that had been blasted by itself has been repaired, and everything is as good as new.
Caesar, however, did not have the heart to admire the efficiency of the Empire's craftsmen, for he was completely stunned, shocked and inexplicable by what he saw.
In addition to the two major generals, the colonels of the empire were all present, and unlike three days ago, there were also quite a few lieutenant colonels and major level figures at the scene.
Without saying a word, General Lan strode forward, leading Caesar all the way into the hall, and then led Caesar to the highest seat in the hall and sat down, while Caesar stood beside him, looking down on the audience.
"So there's something big going on today. Caesar was a little confused in his heart, "I was so leisurely eating breakfast with me before, but I didn't expect that I actually had big things to deal with after the meal?!"
What the specific major event is, Caesar does not know.
But he was very sure that the big formation in front of him was definitely not a ceremony for General Lan to announce that he would be his future heir.
No, absolutely not!
Because Caesar saw the person standing in the center of the Hall of Wind and Thunder at this moment, that is, where he was three days ago. Caesar knew that man!
"Shiloh......" Caesar silently read the other party's name in his heart.
At this moment, Shiloh was wearing the family costume of the Twelve Round Tables, and there were twelve people around him, who should be the leaders of the various families in the Twelve Round Table Family Alliance, and at least half of them wore the rank of lieutenant colonel or colonel. Shiloh is at the forefront of these people as the head of the alliance.
He was dressed as well-dressed as Caesar had remembered, but his face was extremely gloomy and his eyes were tinged with anger.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" Caesar felt that his head was completely insufficient, "invited me to a seemingly ordinary breakfast, talked about the people he cared about the most, and brought me here." What the hell is going on here? What is the military department going to do with the Twelve Round Tables? Wait, wait! The general just said that my performance had silenced the colonels, and he was very happy. And a considerable number of the colonels are from the Twelve Round Tables, or other great families in the Empire......"
Caesar suddenly realized something, and a thought in his mind struggled to pop up, but it was always separated by a layer.
I only heard General Lan's majestic voice beside him and in the huge hall: "Sorry I'm late." So, let's get started - the Review Conference on the Dissolution of the Twelve Round Table Family Alliance. ”
Disband...... 12 Round Table ......
Caesar looked at General Lan beside him, looked at General Lan's rock-solid side face, and suddenly, he felt cold sweat on his back!
