Chapter 23 It was Caesar
Phoenix fainted this time and slept for a day and a night before waking up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She had a lot of dreams.
In her dream, she seemed to go back to a year ago, when she had just returned from hiding in the north, and because she had not been in the south for a long time, she was not well-known, and few people in the military department knew about her. And she herself was injured in the process of escaping back to the south after her undercover identity was exposed, and because of her personality, she was not in a hurry to do anything earth-shattering as soon as possible after she came back.
She asked General Lan for a three-month vacation, and asked to go to the most famous tourist recuperation holy place in the empire, recuperate for three months, and then return to the imperial capital military headquarters, which is Qingcheng.
General Lan agreed very happily, and only said that she would look at herself during the vacation, and if three months was not enough, she would stay a little longer, and if she was tired of resting, she could return to the imperial capital early.
"However, I know that you can't be idle, if you have time when you go to Aoki City, help me find some candidates, for the opening of the Dragon Road next year. At that time, General Long said.
"Okay, I will. Phoenix nodded.
General Lan chatted with her for a while, and asked her if she had any other requests, but Phoenix just shook his head.
Although she didn't ask for anything, she was warm in her heart, she knew that General Lan had not changed, as always, he was a strict boss when talking about work, and he was usually her most respected teacher, and even ...... Father.
"Okay, then you can leave tonight, I will arrange the airship to Aoki City, the military department is express, and you will be able to arrive early tomorrow morning." General Lan said, gently rubbing the corners of his forehead.
Phoenix saw a trace of tiredness between the other party's eyelids, and thought that the affairs of the imperial capital were too busy, and he still had to recover from his injuries as soon as possible in Aoki City, so he came back to help the teacher share some of it.
Thinking so, the man quit the office. When he went out, a female school officer passed by Phoenix and entered the office, the person was middle-aged, but his appearance was very beautiful. Phoenix vaguely remembered that the female officer had a relationship with General Lan, but later she was unwilling to marry General Lan as one of the many wives and concubines, so she separated. But she has not married yet, and she has always been working by General Lan's side.
Phoenix was a little funny in his heart, thinking that the teacher's romantic temperament had not changed, although he didn't marry into the door, but if he really broke up, Phoenix didn't believe it.
I only heard General Lan ask, "What do you say over there at the Twelve Round Table?"
Phoenix was stunned, although she had not returned to the imperial capital for a long time, she also knew that the Twelve Round Table Family was a family alliance composed of twelve big families who had made great contributions to the founding of the empire.
Then he listened to the female school officer: "It's still like that, calm on the surface, but in fact they are still making trouble about the first heir of their family being killed by Caesar, who is also a trialist, in the Dragon Road. ”
The first heir of the Twelve Round Table family was beheaded for rebellion in the latest Dragon Dao trial, and Phoenix knew about it, but the details of the process were not clear.
But the name Caesar, the phoenix heard it for the first time.
I wanted to listen to it again, but the door was closed, and I vaguely heard someone inside, "...... Rebellion is a capital offense...... And it's already ...... Relegated people back to Aoki Castle...... What else do you want to ...... Over the years...... It's getting more and more rampant......"
The phoenix couldn't hear it really, sighed, and turned to leave.
It was the first time that the phoenix crossed paths with Caesar in the true sense of the word.
I went back and tidied up, and in the evening I got the airship. The strategic airship of the military department flew through the clouds in the night and headed towards Aoki City, and Phoenix did not sleep, but spent the night reading through the stack of thick materials that he had brought with him before setting off, all about the recent Dragon Dao trial.
It's not that Phoenix has any interest in the feud between Caesar and the Twelve Round Tables, but what she is really interested in is the survivor's mouth of the person who repelled those battle mages who infiltrated the Dragon Dao Interference Trial.
The man's identity is unknown, his origin is unknown, and the military department gave the man his code name: Gray Armor, based on the confession of the surviving trialists.
Phoenix's personality is actually relatively calm, even a little cold.
She rarely has particularly strong likes and dislikes, and rarely has a strong interest in people or things.
But......
"Gray Armor...... This armor ......"
The phoenix muttered in a low voice, looking at the pattern of the armor in his hand based on the description of the survivors, his eyes flashed with a strange light, "How do you look at it, this is a set of armor of the battle mage clan." ”
Of course, there was nothing to do in one night's research, and Phoenix was not in a hurry, so he arrived at Aoki City early the next morning and went to Aoki Academy as planned.
Her plan is to be a teacher while enjoying the youthful atmosphere of the academy while healing and recuperating. And General Lan has already arranged and informed him in advance, and Phoenix can go directly.
Aoki Gakuin on that day...... It doesn't seem to be very peaceful.
It seems that someone hit the teacher and the classmates, and later when they were punished by the school law enforcement team, they also beat the members of the law enforcement team.
Phoenix saw the troublesome student in the office of the head of the age group, it was a very strong young man, his face was also very tough, his physical fitness was very good, and there was a very strong cultivation aura of dragon vein spells in his body...... With just one glance, Phoenix could almost read out the other party's information.
But these are not the main things, what really makes Phoenix feel strange is the eyes of this student.
He had dark brown eyes that were almost black, as was his hair, a close touch of the black-haired, black-eyed battlemages of the North. His eyes were full of indifference, slightly sneering, but the phoenix saw that it was indeed a little sad loneliness.
Some people are sad when they are lonely.
Some people are lonely and autistic.
Some people are lonely and hide themselves.
But this person's loneliness has not been transformed into those things at all, he is very lonely, and he also has the sensitivity brought by loneliness, but he has no concession in his eyes.
He looked at the world, and the invisible flames of battle in his eyes were burning all the time.
Then Phoenix sat silently on the side, looking at the video data recorded by the elemental crystal of this student beating the teacher and beating her classmates, she was silent on the surface, but she had already set off countless waves in her heart.
She finds herself finding a genius in combat.
A lonely but undiscouraged person, always in a fighting state, the key is to really know how to fight...... Talented!
He's strangely slow, but he's a man who really knows how to fight—just like the battlemages of the North.
The phoenix's heart turned upside down.
Then, I heard the silver-haired old man sitting on the sofa opposite—a representative of the family of the beaten student, who seemed to be some Roy family—only to hear the old man ask coldly: "You dare to beat our family, you are not a little cowardly, you are Caesar?"
Phoenix was stunned and couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
The young man's lips pursed slightly, and he paused word by word: "Yes, I am Caesar." ”
What happened after that, for Caesar, was a turning point in his life and a turning point in his state of mind. On that sunny afternoon, in the warm sunlight shining through the office window, a man pulled him out of the abyss with the phrase "Would you like my student?"
But for Phoenix himself, those don't matter.
She looked at the rebellious young student in front of her at close range, and there was only a smile in her eyes, thinking: "It turns out that you are Caesar, that Caesar." ”
