Chapter 496: Prayer

St. Andrew's University.

Daily prayer is ongoing.

In the evening, the students go to the cathedral on campus, and no one is allowed to be absent without an excuse.

Before the red moon rises, the students will be led by the professors to praise God and have peace of mind before the prayer ceremony begins.

The first is a confession of sins for the actions of the past day, which has nothing to do with the law, and the student is only responsible for the teachings.

The second is gratitude, in the propaganda of the church, [the scarlet moon] is the last ray of light to block the eternal night, representing the ultimate bottom line of life and reason, under the red moon bath, people will be free from the erosion of weirdness and sin, and realize the freedom of will.

Then there is the prayer, in which one will have the opportunity to communicate with God and tell him what he needs, and although God will not answer, He knows everything.

In the spacious and ornate cathedral, the dome is engraved with a beautiful fresco of the ascension of angels, a variety of expensive pigments are applied to make the frescoes look real, and the evening afterglow can be seen through the colorful glass, and the undulating dust can be faintly seen.

In the crowd, a silver-haired girl folded her hands and bowed her head to remain silent, her black navy improved uniform set off her tall figure, her appearance was exquisite, but her eyes looked extremely indifferent.

Before the last ray of light fades, the prayer ends.

On the wooden booth in front of them, two rows of candles were lit, and the principal, who was leading the whole ceremony, turned around, his wrinkled face solemn and grim.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all outstanding cadets of St. Andrew's University, most of whom come from the squires and aristocracy, military families, and wealthy merchants, and you should know another name of the school, the Classical Naval and Colonial Pioneer Academy.

To be honest, due to the recent upheavals in the upper echelons of the kingdom, we have encountered political influences, and the school is the bridgehead of the voice of politicians, and your future is intimately linked to the sea and the New World from the moment you step through the gates.

Salute to the Great Pioneer Lord Andrew, I hope that you have already possessed professional knowledge, and the opportunity to practice and serve the Kingdom is at hand, and at the beginning of the new year, the Royal Fleet will set sail for the New World, for the specific reasons I cannot tell, but applicants will directly obtain real power positions according to their daily performance and ability. ”

The subtle but dense discussion spread, and the direct acquisition of a position of real power means that the road of life is a few years less, or even more than ten years, which is simply unreasonable, because there are not so many vacancies, as a giant armed organization second only to the kingdom fleet, the royal fleet is nominally subordinate to the royal family, and the Whitehall Sea Secretary and the Colonial Secretary only have command power, and the welfare package is quite generous.

"Applicants leave student nameplates on their seats." The old man said briefly, due to the high cost of higher education, these talents in front of him are the types that can be used, he himself is a second-class captain of the Royal Navy fleet, and this notice is only to relay the king's request.

Many students are moved, but there are also many people who have recently received orders from their families, the situation is chaotic, and the situation is not yet clear.

Mie left a nameplate on her seat, and in the two months since her arrival, she has become a trainee knight and an apprentice of a mystic, the two systems with different focuses have been in contact before, and the process is not difficult, as for the trickery, she can only choose between the three adjacent paths of demons, hanged people, and death, so that a guy who occupies the uniqueness of demons can take his power in the future.

With more than five hundred of the cadets leaving the camp and preparing to join the colony with the Royal Navy fleet, it was clear that the scale of the operation would not be a small one in the near future.

"Miss Reinhardt."

At the door of the church, a young man with gray eyes blocked Miy's way, and he slowly slipped his snuffbox into his pocket and took out an invitation instead.

"I remember saying that I can't interfere with his affairs." Miy frowned, the member of the Fallen Monks had been pestering him since a month and a half ago, asking for a referral to Anzel Reinhet.

"How so." The young man shook his head and smiled, "You're his sister. ”

Mi Yi is noncommittal, partner, monarch, brother-in-law, father and daughter, her relationship with that guy is so complicated that it is difficult for a sister to be nothing.

Seeing the other party's cold and hard attitude, the gray-eyed young man had no choice but to put the invitation next to the exhibition vase on the side, and politely said goodbye:

"This is the ticket to the New Year's Festival Hunting Ball, the event is hosted by the royal family, once a year, when the major nobles and industry giants are present, and the contemptible people want to see His Excellency Ansel."

Miy watched the other party leave, if Reinhurt was just an ordinary squire, then this invitation was definitely a great opportunity, but the reality and the situation were a little different.

"Your reputation seems to be good."

Suddenly, a familiar cold tone sounded, and the visitor picked up the invitation directly, and the surrounding students were accustomed to the attitude that people approached "Miss Silver Rose" one after another, and since the other party won the championship with his rose-like swordsmanship, he suddenly became a hot star.

"Long time no see." Mi Yi greeted someone perfunctorily, and then said: "I won a championship, so I took a loan from the bank, and leased a factory on the verge of bankruptcy for a short period of time to produce rear-loading rifled guns, there are already five hundred finished products, fixed ammunition is a new thing in this era, I got three thousand rounds, and it was matched to solve the shortcomings of the slow firing speed of rifled guns, and at present, the things have been given to the chief of the Whitehall Cavalry, and the order is estimated to come down soon, but I think Wang Du is not a suitable production area." ”

"What about the factory?" Jiang Yuan asked, the accuracy and firing distance of rifled guns are above the current mainstream smoothbore guns, but the cost and speed of fire make rifled guns can never be replaced, once the problem of rate of fire is solved, the industry will usher in changes.

"There was a fire." Mi Yi grabbed the other party's arm, "I am going to set up the production area in the port fortress, set up an arms company, and then list it on the stock exchange, the growth process does not need to be explored, it is expected to be completed in a year, and I can collect knight resources and intelligence potions for the trick system for you." ”

"Knight Resources?"

The two walked out of the church and walked towards the student dormitory, where the tuition fee at St. Andrew's University was as high as 1,000 gold dollars a year, and the corresponding accommodation conditions were at least a single room.

"The Force Gun and the Constructed Armor, the latter requires a lot of gold stone support, and it is said that it can increase the strength of the knight by three to fifty percent, and I haven't gotten the real thing, but the gray-eyed young man behind the invitation has an unknown purpose, from the Sinking Monks Association, it shouldn't be that I fell in love with your appearance, after all, I am not much worse than you."

"Maybe it has something to do with the guy I've killed." Jiang Yuan speculated that Deacon Nina was in charge of the organization of the port fortress, and whether it was the later investigation or the transmission of information to the organization before the death of the person concerned, it was expected to attract the attention of the Sinking Monks Society.
