Chapter 54 I see

The East Side, home to some of Yorkshire's wealthiest people, is one of the most historic places in Yorkshire, if religious buildings such as St Mark's Basilica and the Victory Bell Tower have become a symbol of Yorkshire's to the outside world.

Especially in a neighborhood located in the south of Dongcheng District, all kinds of old buildings and stone streets still exude an ancient flavor in this era. This is the most central part of Yorkshire, and although there are not many people who can live here, each of them has the ability to decide the fate of countless people.

And this time the destination "Betty" restaurant is located here.

As one of the oldest restaurants in Yorkshire, Betty's façade is small and even a little old, but in this old Gothic building of red brick houses, it is because of the rich historical background of the restaurant itself that it has been able to open until now.

Eating here is not a thing, but a taste, a taste of history.

There are three glasses of cherry-red fruit wine on the table, the faint aroma of wine fills the nose, and the surrounding atmosphere seems to be very quiet, and there seems to be a faint sound of violin.

This is the only closed private room in the restaurant, Wang Yue, Anne, and Zuo Wei sat together, but they didn't say anything, just looked at the two women in front of them with burning eyes and thoughtfulness.

Putting the experiences of the two lives together, Wang Yue doesn't have much experience in dealing with women, especially when he is forced out to eat like today, and he doesn't know what to say. I didn't want to come, but I was reluctant to get close to Anne, not to mention that he still had some questions about this sudden test in his heart, and he didn't figure it out, which needed Anne to explain to him.

After the test, the training camp was arranged in Kandahar City, which is obviously very important for Wang Yue's next move. Sharon is now hiding in the headquarters of the former Harpists' Guild and the current Overseas Business ......Federation.

Therefore, despite the reluctance in his heart, Wang Yue still followed.

"Do you still have some doubts about this test?"

After sitting down, she just ordered a few glasses of aperitif, and Anne handed over the order to Zuo Wei on the side, and then talked to Wang Yue without any discount, and went directly to the topic.

"There's something I don't understand. Isn't the Rookie Challenge scheduled at the end of the year every time, how could this year be so many months ahead of schedule?" Wang Yue nodded.

"To be honest, I was a little surprised when I got the news before Leo came, but when I think about it, it feels normal. In the final analysis, our four northern provinces have been quiet for too long recently, and some people are unwilling to be lonely! Isn't there always such a saying in your Tang Kingdom, which is called "Divide for a long time and must be united, and if you join for a long time, you must divide for a long time?" In fact, this is probably the reason!!"

Anne pursed her lips and suddenly sneered.

"Unwilling to be lonely? So this rookie challenge, there is an inside story?" Although Anne's words were very vague, Wang Yue still heard something unusual from the tone of her voice.

"There's nothing wrong with that. This rookie challenge is no longer a matter of our Iron Cross family, but also includes three other large-scale martial arts schools in the northern region, to put it bluntly, it is actually a special fighting exchange competition. Anne obviously knew some of the tricks in this, so she didn't shy away from it, and explained it very bluntly.

"Oh, it includes the entire northern region's martial arts exchange competition, this is a big deal!" Wang Yue instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this, if it was just a simple exchange activity of a few schools, it would definitely not be carried out in such a hasty .......

"Are you saying that this matter is actually deliberately promoted by someone behind the scenes?" An idea suddenly popped up in his head, Wang Yue's heart was straightforward, and as soon as he spoke, he felt that something was wrong.

Although it was Anne who invited him to dinner this time, in the end, the two of them had only met a few times, and they hadn't even said a few words, and they didn't have any friendship.

"It doesn't matter to you who pushes it, you just have to give me a good expression. Sure enough, after listening to Wang Yue's words, Anne immediately staggered this matter, but she was afraid that Wang Yue would feel uncomfortable, so after thinking about it, she explained a little: "I don't really know what it is, but I can tell you a little bit about some things I know." ”

"Although more than 100 years have passed since the era of the Great Revolution, the country's science and technology exhibitions are changing with each passing day, and the emergence and exhibition of firearms have almost fatal impact on martial arts, but in the end, there are still many people who have been practicing martial arts, and they are forced to break many traditional taboos in order to survive, and begin to promote and spread them to more ordinary people. But this situation is not something that everyone is happy to see...... So some people rack their brains and do whatever it takes to make things happen. ”

"They don't want to see a fighting world without disputes in the four northern provinces!"

"So there is this special exchange competition? Is it to artificially create hatred between schools?" Wang Yue frowned, and it was clear at one point: "No wonder this test was conducted by people from the military! People who practice martial arts are physically strong, and most of them are young people, they are brave and ruthless, and if they disagree, they will cause people to be disabled." In particular, many people are unwilling to be lonely and want to rely on their skills to eat, either joining gangs as thugs, or becoming thieves and criminals, but in a small city like Yorkshire, I don't know how many people die every year. However, no matter how powerful the fighting skills are, people are also flesh and blood, and they are not much stronger than ordinary people in the face of firearms, is it still difficult for the army and the police to deal with them?"

"It's not as simple as you think. Before Anne could speak, Zuo Wei on the side suddenly interjected: "A master who is famous for martial arts will definitely not be willing to be lonely, whether it is to make a living or what it is for, in short, he will teach many people the skills of martial arts, and he can practice martial arts well, and most of them will not be obscure, so that after a long time, if several generations are entrenched in a region, it is natural to form a force centered on martial arts, intertwined, forming a variety of relationship networks." And this kind of force is actually a fighting school, just like you Iron Crossers, once a school is formed, there is a centripetal force, and it occupies one side, and it will soon form a huge influence in the local area. ”

And this kind of influence, yes, is very difficult to restrict. This will disrupt the local social order in a certain way......"

Wang Yue thought about it and couldn't help but nodded, deeply impressed by Zuo Wei's statement.

He turned out to be the Federation's biggest pirate leader. Before he was integrated, the Wansha galaxy was a paradise for pirates, but the various forces, large and small, there were hundreds of them, just like a mass of scattered sand, each doing its own thing, and it was actually not a big ...... for the huge federal government.

It wasn't until he was born out of thin air, with the power of the ninth-level spiritual master, that he formed the Wansha Alliance, and nearly a million ferocious pirate warriors were completely united, holding 100,000 warships and sitting on 43 planets of all sizes.

I compared my own experience, and in this world, the truth is actually the same. Not to mention that the level of science and technology exhibitions in this world has just started, and there has not been a century since the decline of cold weapons, only to say that the people who practice martial arts, nine out of ten are people of blood and strength, and in order to better inherit and survive, the threshold for teaching martial arts has also been lowered, and there are almost no classes, no matter how many of them can really get the true transmission, but if there are more people who practice, the unstable factors in society will naturally grow.

They are all young men and young people in their twenties, and when they encounter something, can you expect them to only be reasonable? Jokes, just reasoning, what is the use of practicing martial arts! Exuberant qi and blood, a little temper, if the matter is really coming, who can control it?

What's more, it is also a big trouble to practice martial arts well. Those masters are bent on this, practice to a certain extent, they must go out, all over the world to find people to learn and confirm, in order to improve the level of technical attack, shoot mercilessly, mercilessly, kill a handful of people, it is really a common thing.

Then, you killed someone's son, and their son and daughter came to take revenge, and they took revenge, and there was no end to it. Such a group of people have been together for a long time, and if there is no control, it is strange that they cannot become an underworld.

To paraphrase a famous saying of the ancient Tang Kingdom of the Oriental Great 6, this is a typical "chivalrous martial arts ban", which is the most incompatible with the mainstream society in the era of peace.

The simplest example is the Iron Cross itself, which was formed from a few knights who had survived the original Church Crusade, although it had a close relationship with the government's military and a good basis for cooperation in the following centuries.

But then again, you are a fighting school that only circulates among the people, and so many students under your door are sent to the army to exhibit, even if only a small part of them can stay in the army in the end and have certain powers, but after so many years, if you do the math, the result is already very amazing.

With so many students in high positions and military power, what are you going to do?

Even if the Iron Cross itself does not have this meaning, but who can really rest assured? Such a long-established school really has other thoughts, and when the time comes, it will be a naked mutiny!

Although this is only a possibility, after all, no matter how much, this possibility is based on zài.

"The four northern provinces, covering a vast area, have always been a battleground for soldiers, so some people above are not very comfortable with us...... ”

"Then artificially create contradictions and hatred, and make us several schools kill each other? This means, obviously, most people can see it, right? Then you still want to participate in this exchange meeting?" Wang Yue frowned.

"No, that's not going to work. Anne smiled, her smile seemed to be a little cold: "This time it is the military that takes the lead, making a fuss about our rookie challenge, it is clearly an exchange, and it is voluntary to participate, but if you don't participate, you will try, naturally there are small shoes for you to wear." Now everyone wants to live a good life, no one wants to face the above, and even if there is, they don't dare to come out, for fear of shooting the first bird. But even if you participate, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, our schools are almost the same in strength, and the relationship between them is intertwined in their respective regions, and they all have official articles, just follow their rules, so that nothing will happen, otherwise those people will catch the handle, and it will not be so easy to get out. ”

"So this test, you want me to represent the Iron Cross to join this exchange competition?" Wang Yue groaned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Anne.

"This test is just the first test, and then the training retest, and finally the headquarters can select the final candidate, so you don't have to worry now, the final result is not known yet? ”
