Chapter 67 Noble (1)

"...Learning is the only way out for you. Kaios Military Academy provides the possibility for civilians to move up for free. You could have crossed the gap of origin, and learned the same knowledge as the children of nobles here until you surpass them and defeat them. They, with their own hands, will correct the injustices one by one."

After a while, the black-haired youth was sitting in a corner of the classroom with coffee in both hands.

Several stone-like boys and girls stood in front of him with different expressions, either turning their faces, bowing their heads, or pouting.

"But you have lost the chance to fight, crying like a child who can't get sugar, and asking the military academy to optimize all the rules for you to an ideal state."

Jiang Jianming took a sip of coffee and said, "This is wrong. Your cries are worthless now, and no one will hear them."

Kevin twisted his face, staring at the floor reluctantly, his two fists clenched tightly.

The top of the boy's head was suddenly patted, and it was a pale and slender palm.

Jiang Jianming: "If you want to eat candy, please learn to make money by yourself first."

Kevin raised his head sharply, glared at him viciously, and scolded, "Greeder of money."

"You kind of guy, even if you learn knowledge in the military school, what if the nobles throw you a few copper coins, you will get together and lick other people's shoes."

Just after the end of the first round, he lost his mind and knew that the gap between the two was huge, so he shook his head and said no more.

In an instant, an undisguised regret appeared on the face of the black-haired youth.

This made Kevin realize two things like a dead water:

The guy in front of him really wanted to drink coffee.

But he also really didn't want to spend his own money on it.

In the end, Luo Hai couldn't stand it any longer, or he felt too embarrassed—after all, he bought him coffee.

I also made a special trip to order a transport drone, which was delivered directly from the coffee shop next to the Aslan Library.

Jiang Jianming drank the long-lost sweet milk coffee, and now he is in a good mood. He doesn't care about Kevin's bad words at all, and waved his hand to let the children go.

After Kevin and a few students left, Jiang Jianming and Luo Hai were left in the huge tactics classroom.

The sky had already darkened, and the moon was exceptionally bright tonight, and the shadows of the leaves were adorned on the metal casing of the simulated fighter plane, like a delicate stick figure.

Luo Hai greeted him, "Let's go, it's past dinner time. If you go to the cafeteria to eat, dinner will be considered my invitation, but you need to agree in advance, only vegetables and porridge."

"Teacher Luo."

Jiang Jianming shook his head. He didn't move, standing there with his back straight, holding the coffee in his hands: "Now that the kid has left, it's time for you to explain what's going on."

The black-haired youth has serious eyebrows and eyes, "I have been in Kaios Military Academy for five years, and I have never heard of an incident of noble children oppressing civilians."

"Are you angry? For Kevin?" Teacher Luo Hai's serious and old-fashioned face showed a hint of surprise, and quickly turned into a faint smile, "Isn't what you said to scare juniors and juniors beautifully just now? ?"

Jiang Jianming did not change his face: "Just pay the accommodation fee."

He couldn't let these naive boys and girls attack the aristocratic forces, and he couldn't watch them threatening the military school with such a stupid strike.

But after hitting the other end, the problem that should be at this end still needs to be solved.

Kaios Military Academy is considered to be half a royal force, and it stands to reason that no one dares to splash here. The noble's reputation seems to be powerful, but in fact, there are many scruples. Just like Brandon, he did not dare to release the crystal bone in the street when he stepped on his face, precisely because he was afraid of being caught.

But nowadays, there is actually bullying among students in military academies?

Jiang Jianming walked to Luo Hai and whispered: "Teacher, it's the Empire... Will there be any changes? I feel that the atmosphere in Aslan's entire Star City is a little abnormal."

Luo Hai gave him a deep look.

"Let's go to dinner first, then go back to the staff dormitory and talk about it in detail."

...

At nine o'clock at night, the staff dormitory of Kaios Military Academy.

"Stand up."

Luo Hai suddenly said such a sentence without thinking, and then took a mouthful of porridge.

"What." Jiang Jianming was stunned.

They didn't eat in the cafeteria in the end, but returned to the room after ordering two meals, closed the doors and windows, and talked while having a simple dinner.

Luo Hai took another chopstick of green vegetables with a solemn face: "About half a month ago, His Majesty the Emperor publicly promised that he would choose the next monarch for our empire at her birthday ceremony."

"Right now, the nerves of the entire empire are tense over this matter, especially Aslan who is the imperial capital..."

Luo Hai said: "You should have some understanding of the current situation of the nobles and commoners in the empire."

Jiang Jianming returned to his senses after a long while, holding his chopsticks: "...Yes. I know...some."

He remembered that night in the small starship.

Bedside lamps, quilts, pillows... Garcia was lying beside him, staring at his profile with deep eyes, hooking his legs with his feet intentionally or unintentionally.

The prince's curly hair is slightly messy, like an elegant and lazy big cat.

"The current imperial nobles are roughly divided into three categories."

Jiang Jianming stroked his back with his hand and thought of what to say at random: "One type is the so-called Zhao'an nobles, also known as the old nobles. When the emperor overthrew the old empire, he promised to reserve a certain position for the surrendered nobles, so that they would be better off. This has attracted a large number of forces."

"The second category is the meritorious nobles. Those who follow the emperor to conquer the world and establish a new empire will naturally get the rewards they deserve. Those with outstanding merits will receive additional honorary titles."

"The last category is the honorary aristocrats who were entrusted by our current majesty. The emperor gave the title of nobility to the commoners who made great contributions. These people are also called new aristocrats."

On this night at his alma mater, Jiang Jianming fell into contemplation in the face of the former teachers, and said to himself: "The new nobles... and the old nobles."

The meritorious aristocrats have real merits, and at the same time, the number is small, and they belong to the group that "generally do not cause trouble" and "generally no one dares to provoke".

So over the years, the main contradiction of the empire has been the confrontation between the old aristocracy and the new aristocracy.

And the formation of this confrontation situation has something to do with the current emperor.

It was the first year of the new emperor calendar. After personally destroying the dark and chaotic old empire, Kaios the Great did something that no one thought of, nor dared to imagine.

Without any warning, at his coronation ceremony, he adopted a female general under his command as the righteous daughter, and then established him as the second prince.

The funny thing is that the Great Emperor's young talent was too young when he was crowned, only twenty-five years old. The nominal "righteous daughter" general was actually two years older than the emperor.

The female general's name is Lin Ge, Song of Songs. Born in the abandoned old blue mother star, don't know his biological parents, and he is still blind in one eye. Even before meeting His Majesty, teenage girls didn't even know a few big characters.

Later, under the command of General Aslan, he followed the emperor to fight. General Lin had a rebellious temperament, and his words and deeds were vulgar and casual.

In truth, it is a pariah among pariahs.

The emperor abruptly put such a pariah in the most honorable seat of the empire.

With this move, the old nobles were all dumbfounded.

They are still waiting to rely on the new emperor's promise to continue to be a blessing. As a result, the young emperor fulfilled his promise, but at the same time put a lowly born woman on the throne.

At the coronation ceremony, the female general walked in front of the emperor, the red robe and iron armor were extremely beautiful, like a blood-stained peony.

She smiled at the emperor and said, "It's okay to be His Majesty's righteous daughter, but don't want to change your name and surname. Your Majesty forgives the sin, your surname is too unlucky.

Kaios means chaos.

To say unlucky, indeed a little unlucky taste.

The audience was so silent that no one dared to breathe.

Until the Great Emperor nodded and said with a smile, yes.

With such a mad prince in words and deeds on his head, the old nobles did not dare to be presumptuous, just wait and see for a few years.

Unexpectedly, the Great Emperor died in Ying Nian, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Instead of putting the guillotine on the head of the old nobles, he changed his strategy and sealed off a large number of new nobles from commoners.

The old and new factions of the nobles restrained each other, and the emperor exerted pressure from high places, and the empire maintained its stability for decades.

The stability continued into this winter.

Luo Hai: "Although His Majesty the Emperor is ninety years old, he doesn't even have a spouse, let alone an heir. No one can predict who and what status the next prince will be."

The winter night is desolate, the moon is bright as a jade, and the staff dormitory is so quiet that you can hear the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves outside the window.

Jiang Jianming shook his head to express his disbelief, and he said softly, "If it is completely unpredictable, how could it be like this."

Luo Hai looked at him: "...what if you know it? This is not a level we can reach."

Jiang Jianming: "Teacher, at least I want to know."

Luo Hai then smiled bitterly: "No one dares to speculate on His Majesty's imperial intentions, but looking at the various situations, there are indeed two who may be candidates for the crown prince."

"Prime Minister, Your Excellency Lauren."

"The young head of the Lance family, Audrey Lance."

"..."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips, thoughtfully.

Luo Hai: "Both of them are from old noble families, but the factions they represent are opposite."

"Prime Minister Lauren was the first group of old aristocrats who took refuge in the emperor. He is a populace. He has repeatedly shouted in public that the aristocratic system should be completely abolished and real equality for all is realized."

"Although the head of the Lance family is of integrity, he attaches great importance to the honor and tradition of the family, and is an uncompromising supporter of the aristocratic faction."

"Now, both the old and the new factions feel that the situation has reached a 'match point'. Your Majesty's will and the future direction of the empire depend on who the next prince will be."

"Unfortunately, the Amorphous Race Protection Association is also going to take advantage of the chaos to bring up the rights of the disabled... ahem, Amorphous people's rights. The above is probably the reason why you feel the abnormal atmosphere."

Luo Hai let out a long sigh.

"Trouble, big trouble. No matter whether the second prince is Lord Lauren or Lord Lance, their prestige can't hold the other faction. Someone is bound to make trouble. According to His Majesty's temper, most of the methods will be adopted, and bloodshed cannot be avoided. already."

"unless……"

Snapped.

Luo Hai's voice paused, the teacher lowered his head and looked at the chopsticks that fell to the ground in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Jianming bent down and picked it up, his black hair covering his face: "Sorry, my hand slipped. Please continue."

"..."

Luo Hai was silent for a second, then continued what he just said:

"—Unless our former crown prince, His Royal Highness Leankaios, can come back to life from the dead."

Inside the starship at the Black Shark Base.

The leader's figure sank in the darkness, and the silver-haired and blue-eyed elderly man slowly raised his hands in a welcoming gesture.

"Please go to the Empire and return to the throne in the name of Leankaios."

With her movements, the black long gown made a unique sound when the cloth rubbed, which was swallowed up by the silence together with the leader's tail sound.

Behind her is the bridge, and the black universe flows on the glass porthole, like a huge, huge and desolate vortex.

Prince Garcia stood in front of the leader, he held his head slightly, and the vortex mixed with starry sky and darkness was sinking deeper and deeper at the bottom of the pair of emerald eyes.

Boom... Boom, too quiet, he could hear the pulsation of the organs in his chest in a trance.

"I'm curious..." Garcia suddenly chuckled.

"Even if I agree here, do you really dare to let me stand before the people?"

The prince took two steps forward, he stared at the leader, his right hand clenched his shirt tightly.

"You don't have to be afraid, I am at the ceremony of the establishment of the reserve, at the emperor's birthday banquet, in the hall of the White Jade Palace or anywhere—"

His eyes were violent and sinister, and he said slowly, almost maliciously: "Tell me what your Black Shark base is, and what am I that you 'created'?"

"It doesn't matter."

The leader was unmoved, and she repeated: "Please go to the empire and return to the throne in the name of Leankaios."

"If this is really unacceptable to you, then please take the first step - go to the Empire and meet your Majesty."

Garcia: "What if I say no?"

The leader bowed slightly and made a "please" gesture: "The Black Shark Base will never, nor have the ability to force you."

"Three years ago, you were able to leave us and go to the first fortress of Yin Beidou. The same is true now. If you refuse, the Mecha Comet is on you, and you can go anywhere at any time."

Garcia turned his head and walked away, the cloak on his shoulders raised an arc.

He didn't look back and didn't look at the leader any more.

Boom... boom, the blood seems to boil through the eardrum.

The demon's minions climbed up quietly, uttering bewitching ravings.

In the name of Lyonkerios...

He strode down the bridge and passed through the passage inside the starship. There was no one around, and the induction lights above and under his feet were emitting a soft faint white light.

Garcia's face didn't move, but the corners of his lips were tense, as if he was suppressing his emotions. In the depths of his pupils, the flames of rage burned more and more vigorously.

In the name of Rianchios...!

His pace didn't stop, his fingers flexed suddenly, and the crystal bones stabbed out of his shoulders, sweeping and smashing, crackling and shattering the sensor lights all the way.

Woo-woo... The siren hummed, the aisle flickered, and it was completely dark.

Only the starlight after the explosion was shining, and the faint black smoke was blowing forward from the back.

Garcia closed his eyes. He listened to his footsteps and stroked the small machine on his wrist in the chaotic darkness.

……Do not.

The prince opened his eyes, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

He removed his fingers from the wrist phone.

Why do you think of ginger at a time like this?

No, you can't call the communication at this time.

He can urge the other party to reply countless times during the day, he can pull down his face to apologize and coax people, or he can stare at the crippled human beings in the communication and trample the wicked people on the ground before giving up.

In the final analysis, it was only his obligation to ensure the safety of his subordinate officers.

But he must not contact Jiang Jianming when his emotions are out of control.

Because if so, wouldn't it be like

A subtle look flashed across Garcia's face.

It's like I miss him and miss him.

Even vulnerable to seeking solace in him?
