As the highest institution of learning in the Hillman Empire, the opening ceremony of the Royal Academy of Demon Martial Arts has always been very grand.

Not only did the celebration attract a large number of people, but even the emperor of the empire would personally attend the ceremony. Naturally, since the emperor is coming, the other nobles can't help but cheer.

In the end, the annual opening ceremony of the Academy of Magic has become almost the most characteristic festival in the city of Cassania.

However, this year's opening ceremony is a little unusual. And the source of that unusual atmosphere came from the small group of envoys of the Oldum Empire in the stands.

The Odum Empire was adjacent to the Hillman Empire, and because it was founded earlier than the Hillman Empire, and most of the land in the country had already been cultivated, it was in stark contrast to the new empire Hillman, where 70% of the land was still uninhabited.

Although there are not many land resources, and the territory is far inferior to the Hillman Empire, in terms of its comprehensive national strength, the old empire Odum is always stronger than the Hillman Empire.

The two empires were at war for eight years over a new Mithril vein on the border, during which soldiers and civilians of both countries were killed and wounded.

Of course, under the conscious guidance of the royal families of both sides, the two empires have almost become that kind of feud-like antagonism. Most of the people are resentful of the inhabitants of neighbouring countries.

It is said that in the immediate aftermath of the half-year war, anyone in a city who was now a neighbor would be beaten to death by an angry crowd of people.

Now, with the precipitation of time, although the people are no longer as crazy as they used to be, the resentment against the neighbors is still passed down by their ancestors.

Therefore, although most of the Odum envoys in that group were handsome and beautiful young men, the eyes of the people around them were all with a faint hatred and anger, and there was no trace of peace in seeing handsome men and beautiful women.

The strong smell of gunpowder in the air even gives the illusion of being on the spot.

And Emperor Hillman obviously knew the situation of these guys, and in order not to cause a popular riot, he made an exception to arrange seats for these foreign guys on a platform where only high-ranking nobles were qualified to sit.

It's just that this group of obviously ill-intentioned guys didn't get grateful for this, and just when the performance below the platform was reaching the highlight of **, an old man in the group stood up.

It was the leader of the group, and unlike the young men and women in the group who looked like ordinary students, the old man was an official of the Odum Empire. He rose from his seat and walked to the throne of the Hillman the Great under the gaze of countless nobles on the platform.

Bowing to Emperor Hillman, the old man said, "Your country is worthy of being an empire with a small reputation in the entire southeast border, and I am afraid that there is no one in the entire southeast who can match the beautiful voice of these excellent dancers, right?"

As soon as these rude words came out, the faces of the surrounding nobles changed suddenly.

The performers below were all self-organized by the students of the Academy of Magic, and everyone was just watching the fun. However, as soon as the old man in front of him spoke, he actually sneered at these young people who were destined to become the mainstay of the Hillman Empire in the future, knowing that many children of nobles were studying in the Royal Academy of Magic!

"Apologize for your rudeness. ”

"Bastard, who do you think you are? How dare you insult our talents like this? What a boldness, do you Odum Empire want to go to war again?"

"If it weren't for His Majesty's order not to move, Lao Tzu would have been the first to pick up a knife to cut you. ”

Among the indignant nobles, there was even a hot-tempered general who wanted to cut people with a knife, but was quickly stopped by the surrounding nobles.

However, unlike the excitement of the nobles, the Hillman Emperor had a flat face, as if he had already expected this, "The Emperor of Odum called you over, is it just for you to seek death?"

As soon as the words fell, the guards, who were already gearing up, swarmed up and surrounded the old man and the young men. As long as the emperor gives an order, it is estimated that no one in this entire mission will live to see the sun tomorrow.

Under the sharp swords of the guards, the old man smiled unhurriedly and said, "There is really no offense in the lower ranks, the reason why I say such a thing is just to admire the high skills of the students of your Imperial Academy." ”

"If His Majesty Hillman feels that my words are insulting to your country, then I can apologize in public at this time. After all, our Royal Academy of Audum is different from your country, our students only specialize in martial arts and magic, and most of them are disdainful of this kind of singing and dancing skills that are not helpful to governing the country and saving the world. ”

"So the first time I saw the students of your country so delicate in singing and dancing, it was inevitable that they would lose their temper. ”

Emperor Hillman lowered his gaze indifferently, looked at the old man who was smiling insincerely, and said lightly, "What do you mean is that we Hillman Royal Academy do not do our business and do not teach students useful things...... Right?"

The old man smiled reservedly and unflatly, "I didn't mean that. ”

Glancing at the old man indifferently, the corners of Emperor Hillman's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, "In that case, why don't you take this opportunity to let everyone communicate with each other? Those young people in your team should be the most talented elites in the Royal Academy of Oldum, right? Let's let the elites of the Royal Academy of Hillman compete with them, and after the results come out, which school is weaker, isn't it clear at a glance?"

The old man bent down and smiled with a bamboo in his chest, "Seconding your proposal, Your Majesty." The warriors of Odum will surprise everyone. ”

As a result, the singing and dancing under the platform quickly tore away, restoring the original appearance of the arena.

And after the people saw the song and dance withdraw, they were shocked at first, and after hearing that the people of the Odum Empire had provoked something, they instantly became surging with emotion. As the news spread, even more people poured into the arena, eager to find out how the bastards of Odum had been taught a lesson by their country's elite.

By the side of Emperor Hillman, Alex frowned, "Father, please forgive me, that Algardello of the Oldum Empire is already a warrior who is about to approach the fifth order. At present, no one in the Royal Academy can deal with him for the time being, and besides, the other few people are not easy to solve, your decision ......"

Emperor Hillman waved his hand and stopped Alex's words, "I have my own considerations. ”

After saying that, his gaze fell on the cute little girl with a gray head in the student group below the platform.

"The provocation of the Odum Empire, I have known since they set foot in the city of Cassania ten days ago. Since they are so eager to send it to the door, it is just the right time to let these vulgar fellows see the power of my Hillman Empire. ”

In the voice, there is undisguised confidence.

So, Alex could only keep his mouth shut and put aside the worries in his heart for the time being.
