Chapter 28 From the Death of Hengduan
Principal Colleen, the head of the year at the beginning of the first chapter, was sitting in Teacher Sally's room at this time, feeling the sadness and heaviness that filled the room, and her mood became very dark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Team leader Colleen looked at Cellly, who was trying to suppress her crying so as not to interfere with the child's sleep, and at the same time she had another child in her belly, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what else to say at such a time.
Ms. Sally's husband was an Imperial soldier, and he served in the military headquarters and in the more dangerous field units, that is, in the Hengduan Mountains, fighting guerrilla and skirmishes with battle mages. He is young and promising, and he is already a third-order soldier when he is just over thirty, and at this rate, it will not be too difficult to be promoted to a fourth-order soldier.
But his age is forever fixed in his early thirties.
Teacher Sally's husband was killed in battle.
ā...... I knew that his job was dangerous, and while it was natural to do things for the Empire, I had vaguely imagined that there might be such a day. ā
Teacher Sailie bit her already white lip and said tremblingly.
"Ordinary people of the empire may not know that the fighting in the Hengduan Mountains never really stops, but I, as the wife of a soldier, know this very well. ā
"My husband is very smart, talent and strength are secondary, the most important thing is that he is brave but not reckless, he often tells me that the most important thing on the battlefield is not to kill the enemy, but to protect yourself, protect your teammates, and keep the team alive is the most important thing, which is the guarantee of victory. ā
"So, although I have been vaguely worried, I still trust him very much. I believe that his character combined with his strength will survive well. ā
"But...... Why did he die?!!"
As she spoke, Ms. Sellie became more and more emotional, and suddenly it was as if she had collapsed. She stood up and stared at Team Leader Colleen, pale and frantic, as if she would not stop until she got an explanation from Team Leader Colleen. But Team Leader Colleen didn't come to convey the news of her death, but worried that Teacher Sellie would come to visit, and just in case, after all, Teacher Sellie is now in a critical waiting period, and Team Leader Colleen doesn't know how to explain it at all.
"You calm down. You still have a life in your belly. Team leader Colleen said in as calm a tone as possible.
Cellly laughed miserably twice and said, "Yes, a child who lost his father before he was born!"
Team Leader Colleen said, "Jace won't die for nothing. ā
Seliha smiled, a little hysterical, and screamed, "Of course I know that my husband did not die in vain, he must have died for the sake of the empire! My husband is not an ordinary person! What I want to know is - how did he die? Why did he die? ...... Why did he die in a zone that was not his own? Why did he appear in a zone that was not his own duty?!!
Team leader Colleen said with some weakness, "I don't know. Even if you know, you can't tell you. You're not from the military department after all. Seli, you better calm down and take care of your body first. Selly?Selly!!"
Caesar stood silently in the doorway, his hand holding the gift box clenched tightly, and his knuckles were a little white.
He didn't knock on the door, he could hear that Sailie in the room seemed to faint, fortunately, Team Leader Colleen had served in the army's medical class, and Teacher Sellie herself was a teacher in the infirmary, and she also had a lot of medicines at home, and Team Leader Colleen quickly helped Teacher Sailie stabilize her physical condition.
Teacher Sellie's child had been woken up and was crying and asking what was going on. Team leader Colleen was a little scrambled for a long time before the child fell back to sleep.
Then there was a dead silence.
The afternoon sun shone in through the stairwell window and sprinkled on Caesar, but instead of feeling warm, he felt a slight cold.
Cassadine and Greeneye also stood in the hallway, their faces cold and silent.
After a long while, the door opened, and Team Leader Colleen walked out with a gloomy face, and saw Caesar standing in front of the door, and couldn't help but be stunned. At the same time, Cassadine had quickly ducked behind the stairs with green eyes.
Team leader Colleen closed the door, looked at the gift box in Caesar's hand, understood his intention, and said in a low voice: "...... Did you hear it all?"
Caesar nodded.
"Don't say it. Team Leader Colleen admonished again.
"Of course. Caesar raised his eyes to look at Team Leader Colleen, his eyes were a little sharp, and he slowly asked, "I have read some of the regulations of the Imperial Military Department, and for Teacher Sally's situation, the Military Department is obliged to conceal the news at least until the third month after the birth of the families of the war dead, right?"
Team leader Colleen raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect Caesar to know about this kind of thing at such a young age. Then she nodded in the affirmative, "Yes." ā
Caesar's voice turned low: "Then why did you receive such a message at such a time?"
Team leader Colleen sighed heavily, and said a little tiredly, "It's bad luck too." Jace was temporarily transferred to another defense area that he was unfamiliar with, and he would have only needed to temporarily replace him for three days before he could return, but he happened to encounter a squadron of battle mages, and Jace was killed on the spot, and only two of his team survived...... The news was originally strictly sealed, but when Sellie went grocery shopping yesterday, she overheard the two survivors who had come to Aoki Castle to heal about it. Those two wounded soldiers had just arrived at Aoki Castle yesterday, and the results were ......"
Caesar hummed when he heard this, and did not ask any more questions, but said, "Teacher Sailly, please ask you." ā
Team leader Colleen said solemnly: "This is the responsibility and obligation of Aoki Academy. ā
When Colleen left, Cassadine and Greeneye came out from behind the stairs, and Caesar asked, "Is it normal to temporarily adjust the defense zone?"
"Do you suspect there's something wrong with this?" Cassadine smiled and said calmly, "Unfortunately, this kind of temporary adjustment of the defense zone is uncommon, but it is completely normal. Adjusted the defense zone but happened to be bumped into by the battle mage squadron, this kind of thing is indeed too bad luck, after all, even if someone does something, it is impossible to control the battle mage in the north to appear in the adjusted defense zone. ā
Caesar nodded, turned and went downstairs.
After not going far, Caesar met March, who was in a hurry, and when he asked, he realized that Luo was impatient when he was practicing, and he actually went wrong while practicing, and now he is lying down.
March had come out to buy some medicine for Lowe.
This time, Caesar behaved calmly, recommended a few good pharmacies to March, and then stopped bothering and went to a blacksmith shop on Earth Street to prepare to start blacksmithing.
Cassadine was a little surprised by Caesar's calmness, and asked with a smile: "Just ask, I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask, and I must know more than you do." I told you last night, your current situation is very bad, and all kinds of troubles will definitely come to your door to disgust you. ā
Caesar smiled and said, "Will you tell me who you are?"
Cassadine shook his head: "No." ā
Caesar also shook his head: "Then everything is not to be discussed." ā
In fact, there is no need to ask more, Caesar knows very well in his heart that these things encountered today are definitely not coincidences!
If it's just one thing, it can be said to be a coincidence, but on the same day, I heard three things one after another: food poisoning in red, the death of Teacher Sally's husband in battle, and Luo's cultivation, which can't be a coincidence.
But everything was not directed at Caesar.
Moreover, every event, if taken out in isolation, seems to be a very accidental accident, not deliberately planned or promoted by someone behind it.
Because of this, Caesar now looks calm, and his heart is actually very suffocated.
The other party did not attack himself directly, but it was more disgusting than directly targeting himself, in comparison, Caesar preferred that the other party would directly plot against himself and blow up his virtual body once like before the start of the first round of the unified examination.
Taking a deep breath, Caesar silently walked into the blacksmith's shop, and soon, a heavy blow sounded in the private room, as if he was venting something vigorously.
Cassadine listened carefully to the blow, turned back to the green eyes and smiled: "This kid is very powerful, he knows that the twelve round tables are doing something, but he is still so calm." Hehe, I'm starting to understand a little bit why Phoenix is taking him as a student. It's a very interesting kid indeed. ā
The green eyes asked softly, "Young Master, have we been following him like this all the time?"
Cassadine laughed, "Of course. Isn't that my usual style of tracking and observing objects of interest? ā
Greeneye shook his head and said, "I mean, should we help do something......?"
Cassadine was silent for a moment and said, "We're not going to do anything. Whether it's the red dress, the pregnant woman named Sally, or that Luo, it's all going to be fine. At such times, we can only endure what we do wrong, because there is no direct evidence. Caesar also knew this, so he came to strike iron to adjust his mentality. ā
In this way, Caesar was striking iron in his room, while Cassadine wandered leisurely around the blacksmith's shop, looking no different from the second ancestor who had been loitering all day.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was evening, and the sound of striking iron in the blacksmith shop was still ringing intermittently.
Cassadine was a little impatient, and shouted to the inside: "Hey, Caesar, let's vent a degree, I've been playing for an afternoon, how about we stop and go to dinner together?"
The sound of the hammer is still there.
Cassadine frowned, and his tone became even more impatient: "Hey, everything has a degree, I praised you for being calm before, don't hit me in the face." ā
The hammer stopped, but there was still no Caesar's voice.
Cassadine suddenly realized that something was wrong, and despite the dissuasion of the owner of the blacksmith shop, he opened the door and rushed into Caesar's rented room, and then froze on the spot.
