Woo, I'm not done, wait a minute

――――

For Romante, the night is always late.

The glow of magic illuminates the wide central avenue, and the light that comes from the energy plane envelops this avenue that can accommodate eight carriages in parallel in the atmosphere of daylight forever, and with this as the axis, the lights radiate towards the whole city, driving away the darkness and placing half of the city that surrounds the Louvre, the royal palace, in artificial daylight.

Dinners, balls, and aristocrats shuttle through the day like butterflies, enjoying the joyful time that the gods have given them, like an extended, false life.

But the normal may always go hand in hand with the extraordinary, as in the middle of Sriel Avenue in Uptown, an area that is always surprisingly dimly lit.

This is a large aristocratic mansion, but at this not too dark night, except for a few places such as the main hall and study of the mansion, which are still lit, the rest of the building is already completely dark and dark in the environment of the upper town of Romandy. It was as if the high wall was the boundary of a plane, completely separating the inside and outside of the wall into two worlds.

Of course, this is not some ominous mansion as legend suggests, but the whole Romandi knows that the owner of this mansion, the Honourable Sanchez, the military minister in his seventies, is a rigid old man. As a model for the entire Tumenes, his home had always been a regular for decades, so that everyone in the upper town had already seen it as a shadow of the Romanty, a city that boasted of never sleeping.

But on this usual, peaceful night, the residence of the Minister of War, surprisingly, did not fall into a deep sleep.

The spacious study was illuminated by the twelve-lit light of the four lampstands. But this kind of sea beast candle, a specialty of northern Xinjiang, lasts for a long time, but the flame is not vigorous, and the light is only enough to fill half of the room, reflecting the young man sitting next to a desk. and the two faces of the elderly.

"He said that?" "Yes, Grandpa, that's what he said. ”

The old man at the desk pondered for a moment and asked. And he bowed his head respectfully to the young nobleman who was sitting not far in front of him, but his gaze did not leave the old man's face. A thoughtful expression.

What made the old man think?

It's what I just narrated. The young prince, at the court meeting this morning, casually proposed, the so-called education policy?

In recent times. The discord between the Marquis of Sánchez and the Prince of Strands had long ceased to be news, so it became a routine business for the Duke and grandson to recount the recent developments in the court to the Minister of War, who was said to be ill at home. However, even some of the family's subsistence businesses have been uprooted. Whether it was at least half of the pipes that made the finances stretched at once, or a few members of his own family who were deprived of their original positions, or even most importantly, some disturbing rumors had begun to circulate, rumored that His Royal Highness the prince would probably dismiss the old man in the next few days, even if the old man bowed to him. It is also likely that he will also divest the final command of the Knights and the City Guard from the old marquis.

This qiē bad news did not make the old man in front of him show such a long, thoughtful look.

Or because it's just this kind of dù. The damage that can be caused to the family is actually only one-sided, temporary, with the family's roots deeply rooted in the romantic aristocratic circle. and the influence in the military circles, the oppression of His Royal Highness the Prince. In the end, it will only become a source of his troubles, and it will not be long before that arrogant young man will taste the consequences of his recklessness, so all the qiē are temporary problems that do not need to be pondered. ，

But what he just said, why does the old man need to think about it?

What the prince proposed was very simple—to establish some so-called small academies in Romante, to hire the declining nobles or literate mercenaries as teachers, to train the children of the commoners in literacy, arithmetic, or swordsmanship, and then to select the best among them to enter the higher institutions of learning, and to learn more esoteric knowledge, such as accounting and literature. Or it is recommended to enter the knights and become a knight's acolyte.

He was going to build thirty such elementary schools, while only two of the high-level schools were built, and the people employed in them were only some lower-class nobles and idle people, and the budget spent was to vacate some houses in a few lower towns, and replenish them with dozens of gold coins every year, and the rest of the expenses were provided by the tuition fees paid by the commoners themselves, so on the whole, it was only a consumption of several thousand gold coins at most, and His Royal Highness the prince even mentioned that this money was saved from the living expenses of His Majesty the King, and the treasury did not have to pay a single copper。

The plan was announced at today's court meeting, leaving no room for anyone to refute at all, and the young 'Majesty the Prospective Emperor' was left with only a triumphant speech.

"Thanks to the blessing of your ** masters, the magic academy they built has allowed us to have the most mages on the big 6 today, but I am convinced that these small academies will allow us to have the most accountants, clerks and knights on the big 6 in more than ten years, whether the kingdom can stand at the peak of the big 6 in a hundred years, it has been decided on the desks of these children today!"

How arrogant?

"Anyway...... What will happen a hundred years from now, or no one knows, but maybe within a year, His Royal Highness the prince will have to face the trouble brought by his own arrogance. The young man commented cautiously, but did not hide his contempt and hostility.

"It's not just arrogance, it's a particularly dangerous signal. ”

The old man raised his gaze from the brief silence and looked at the successor he had deliberately cultivated, and the expression on the young man's face made him shake his head slightly.

After all, I'm still younger...... Some things can be easily conveyed without being taught by words and deeds, for example, the intuitive judgment of things can only be cultivated by decades of experience.

And for this matter...... The most important thing was the hostility of the young man.

Although not specifically aimed at their own family, this practice is undoubtedly challenging the whole tradition of the Tuminis, nay, the whole Big 6.

Rich and poor, rich and poor, whether it is the Empire, or Tuminis. Even the Golden Horde of the Krurodians, or even the former elven kingdom that has been expelled by the humans, the gap created by these two differences is almost insurmountable, and for any commoner and poor person on this big 6 who wants to climb the narrow upper end of the pyramid. Or be born with the favor of the goddess of magic. Feel the subtle pulsation of the magic web, become a genius that a lot of mages are willing to collect, and work hard for thirty or fifty years, and you will be able to overlook all living beings on the horizon. At worst, you can become the personal mage of a nobleman, and the glory and wealth are just around the corner, otherwise, you can only try to exercise and join the ranks of mercenaries and beasts. Warcraft fights for their lives, or under the hands of a certain lord, relying on the war to make meritorious deeds, of course, the premise is to come back alive. In addition, you can only hope that some shops can value your dexterity of hands and feet, and give you a chance to learn to settle accounts or stand at the counter, and spend decades of work to climb from work to shopkeeper, if you don't have any of these three abilities. Congratulations, you're ready to look up to the aristocracy and the rich for the rest of your life.

This chasm is the king, the duke, the marquis. Earl...... All the nobles came out together in huge sums to protect their things.

Or, the aristocracy always liked to laugh at the stupidity of the commoners, however behind the scenes. A truly intelligent aristocrat would never despise the wisdom and strength of commoners, because many generations ago. Their ancestors, most likely, did not have any aristocratic bloodline, and relied on a little credit when they were under the command of the founding emperor.

Once the commoner children in these schools are successful in their studies, they will soon become the target of the servants hired by the petty nobles, and the salary of the servants will be enough for their families to escape the poverty of their daily lives.

But what about the best of them?

"You...... Have you ever seen those pigs? Do you know how they're fed?"

The elder's sudden question was too jumpy, which made the young man dumbfounded for a while, but in the end he shook his head honestly, so the old man sighed lightly, but he didn't reproach, just said in a deep voice: " The general method is to graze like cattle and sheep, but it takes two or three years for such pigs to grow, and pigs have some very bad problems, such as digging grass roots and rolling on the pasture, often a pig will waste a pasture as big as a sheep, and the grass that is damaged by them often has to wait for two or three years before it can be completely restored. So, the merchants who were the best at making money in Yilei County came up with a way to keep the pigs in small pens and give them only room to stand and lie down, which would prevent them from running around and consuming their bodies and growing up as much as they could. ”

The young man nodded as if he understood, and listened to the old man continue

"It's a good way to keep pigs that can be fattened for a year to eat, but there's a problem with the fact that pigs that can't move around can easily get irritable, and sometimes they hit the pen like crazy and try to get out, or they go on a hunger strike. So they came up with a clever way to put one or two ordinary pigs outside the pens and let them walk around unfettered, so that the pigs that saw them would be quiet and no longer go wild. ”

"The commoner servants who are now with the nobles are the free pigs?" the young man asked, frowning, thoughtful, and after a moment.

The wrinkles at the corners of the old man's mouth wrinkled into a satisfying arc.

Motivated by this small compliment, the young man quickly followed his train of thought and thought further.

In this parable, the nobles are sheep living leisurely in the pasture, and they may not mind that one or two pigs are just as leisurely in their distance, but now His Royal Highness has done so by digging a large hole in the fence and putting the pigs in the sheep's pasture. Once these rampaging filthy monsters enjoy the same treatment as sheep, will the sheep be able to keep their leisurely lives?

When those civilians also have the right to read and write, and have the conditions for learning, their huge base will inevitably cause considerable changes...... No matter how much the aristocracy has a congenital advantage, they will eventually be drowned in the tide of ordinary people under the shock of numbers.

In the long run, where will the blood of the nobles be placed? When a commoner of His Majesty's Majesty meets a viscount or even an earl who is idle at home, how will they observe each other, and in what capacity will they treat each other?

What will be the final outcome? A hundred years from now, will the division between the so-called aristocracy and the commoners still be as clear as they are today?

This terrible idea made the young man tremble uncontrollably.

Could it be that the young emperor really planned to do so. Shake the foundation of Tumenis, no, this 60,000-year-old, aristocratic rule?

The light on the table suddenly shook slightly.

The sight of two nobles. With the light of the lights. The shadows that fall in the corners of the study are then tightened.

In their eyes, the shadow shook violently like a strong wind blowing on the surface of the water, and then. Three pitch-black figures melted out of the shadows.

"It's coming...... Lacking patience more than I thought. ”

This sudden change did not make the old and young people in the room feel the slightest fear, they just raised their eyes and looked at the black shadow that was constantly approaching.

It looks very simple. Black, matte clothes, with specially treated black scale armor on the outside of the clothes. All three wore metal helmets, with only a narrow slit at the eyes, faintly radiating a dark red sheen that did not resemble a human. When they made eye contact, the young nobleman shuddered - the two red lights made the other's eyes unusually strange and lifeless. It's just a momentary look at each other, but it seems to be able to sink the soul into a cold touch......

“”――

Whether it is an auxiliary government or a minister of military affairs, in this city. No man's mansion is as calm as it seems, and the various mechanisms and the guards who spy on the shadows are enough to make anyone with bad intentions pay, and some of them are cautious and timid enough to put a ridiculously strong force in the mansion. Even a fully staffed brigade of Imperial knights could resist.

They lowered their hands, and their fingertips evolved into long, blood-colored claws.

"Demons?"

The old soldier's pupils suddenly tightened.

The translucent red blood claws immediately made a grinding sound with the sharp blades. The third assassin silently passed under the two of them with the help of the gaze of his companion body knight, raised the long knife in his hand and plunged straight into the head of the old man at the table!

Lightning!

Seeing that the tip of the claw was about to penetrate the old man's eyes, the smug light in the assassin's eyes turned into panic in the blink of an eye, accompanied by a sharp cracking sound, a white light, coming from the side, swooping down like a wave, snorting and cutting off his body with a soft sound!

The monster writhed silently, its blade-like claws making a slight hissing sound in the air! The knight struck upwards with both swords, trying to unload the blow with a hard touch, but the truth was then told that it was impossible, and the powerful impact pushed his entire body out of the air, hitting the corner of the room with a thud! He struggled to roll and dodge the ensuing pursuit. But his trembling wrist made him barely dodge, and he couldn't attack for a while!

"When the new thing comes, the old thing can only be replaced, slowly submerged in the dust of history, if you still plan to block it, it will naturally be smashed by the speeding wheel of the times, and dissipate without a trace. ”

The twisted corpse on the ground had wide open eyes, still glaring at the enemy who had taken his life, and the constantly beating candlelight immediately reflected a slightly animalistic purple light in his eyes. When their eyes met, the old soldier's face couldn't help but distort.

As a soldier, he has long been experienced in a hundred battles, in the early ten years of service in Hayman City, he has seen too many deaths and killings, even if he has not been on the front line in the last ten years, but the experience is indelible, let alone such a corpse, even if it is disemboweled, blood flowing everywhere is no different from garbage and waste water for him, but at this moment, in the eyes of that guard, when looking at the dark death intent. In the old man's heart, a chill inexplicably rose.

His body was surrounded by three layers of divine arts, arcane weapons, but he didn't have the slightest sense of security, and he had a strong thought in his heart, no matter how powerful the spells and magic items were, they might not be able to save their lives from this opponent.

And when he finally considered another fact—why was this gaze so close to them...... A dazzling flash of light has burst around!

The edge of the blue moon in the sky was quietly dyed with a blood-like color. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
