Chapter 22 Current State College
Joan of Arc showed a puzzled expression to Audgues' words.
Odygus whispered: "What do you think of these two brothers with very different appearances and personalities?"
Joan of Arc frowned, thought for a moment, and commented: "Travis, the heir to the title, has obviously abandoned the glory of his ancestors. As a descendant of the Dragon Slayer, his mind is full of thoughts and he has a flattering smile like a businessman all day long. In terms of martial arts, he is afraid he is even worse than an ordinary soldier. He actually wants such a person to inherit the glory of the Dragon Slayer. I am sorry I cannot agree!"
Odygus nodded: "What about Alex?"
When talking about his younger brother, Joan of Arc's expression eased a lot: "In contrast, this younger brother is much stronger. He obtained a third-level combat position at a young age and went deep into the polar continent to monitor the seal of the ancient dragon. He is an excellent knight who truly regards protecting the weak as a creed! But unfortunately, I heard that he was a concubine, so he was unable to inherit the title. It was really a fate to make people..."
"And he is also very handsome, right?" Odygus wrinkled an old face full of wrinkles and teased his apprentice. This made Joan of Arc's cheeks flush and explained: "I evaluated it based on objective facts and absolutely did not judge people by appearance!"
"Hahaha, there's nothing to be shy about! If a young man as iconic as Alex doesn't have a good impression of him, that's a problem!" Odygus smiled and patted Joan of Arc on the shoulder, then his face changed: "What's more, he's trying to seduce you!"
"What did you say?" Joan of Arc looked shocked.
Odygus smiled and shook his head: "Silly girl, when this kid returns to the Hanlong collar, his hair is smooth and his beard is shaved. When he first met us, he even wore a very beautiful dress!"
"This is normal..." Joan of Arc looked puzzled: "There is no conditions in the polar continent, so it is normal to go home and take care of it."
Odygus shook his head: "You don't know that men in the Seland Islands regard beard cultivation as their beauty. The beard with beards on the ground is the standard of handsome men. His willingness to shave off his beard is obviously to cater to the aesthetics of the imperial capital. It is impossible for me, the old man, to show me, the only goal is you!"
Joan of Arc thought: "Indeed, when I saw him shaved off his beard, I felt a lit up... But even so, it might not be..."
Odygus smiled: "Even if the outfit doesn't tell the problem, the smell is OK. When you saw Alex just now, did you smell a faint fragrance, and you think this man is more and more pleasing to you?"
Joan of Arc's face turned red again, Odygus smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, that Alex has sprinkled perfume, which contains magical spices from the East. It not only tastes pleasant, but also has an aphrodisiac effect, which is extremely lethal to girls!"
"It turns out to be like this?" Joan of Arc was stunned when he heard this, and Odygus continued: "Of course, if he just likes you, these methods of pursuit are understandable. Do you remember how he reacted when I asked the question of the belonging of the ancient dragon's merit?"
Joan of Arc squinted: "He is the only one who suggested taking away the credit..."
"That's right!" Odygus nodded: "Although he gave a high-sounding reason, he still couldn't hide his purpose. Later, when I arranged for everyone to find the mysterious hunter, I paid special attention to the progress of various people. Compared to the Templars who were not familiar with the place, locals such as Alex were actually less efficient. Obviously, he did not want to find a real dragon-slaying warrior!"
Joan of Arc's thoughts were: "He participated in the dragon-slaying team. If we swallowed the credit, he would be the dragon-slaying warrior... His real purpose is this!"
"More than that!" Odygus smiled and said, "Becoming a dragon-slaying warrior and restoring the glory of his ancestors, he and the surname Dragon Slayer are perfectly matched. If he can win your favor on this basis and form a bond with the female paladin of the Lion Heart Empire, then his status as a concubine is irrelevant, and his prestige in the family will surpass that of the disabled brother, and it will be easy to force him to abdicate his title!"
"I didn't expect that there was such a plot hidden behind this!" Joan of Arc's silver teeth clenched: "These damn nobles, even the major affairs of slaying dragons, can be applied to political struggles by them!"
"Joan of Arc, don't forget when you say this, the noblest blood of the Lion Heart Empire flows on you!"
Joan of Arc sighed: "Teacher, what about Travis? That guy has been the Dragon Slaying Earl who has been the Dragon Slaying Earl for more than ten years, and he is not an ordinary person!"
Odygus touched his gray beard: "Compared with Alex, who is smart but still very young, this Travis is really hard to see through. The Dragon Slayer family has a 600-year foundation. Have you noticed the old housekeeper beside him?"
"How could you not notice..." Joan of Arc narrowed his eyes: "Although it was just a one-time encounter, the aura on his body could not be concealed by strength! There is no doubt that the old man, like us, was a strong man who broke through the limits of human beings and reached the fifth level!"
"What if I say, what you see is still a cover-up?" Odygus smiled and said, "At least, I saw something different..."
"Didn't it be..." Joan of Arc looked surprised: "His he reached your realm?"
"It's hard to say..." Odygus shook his head: "Looking at the loyal butler's appearance, this seemingly weak Travis may have a stronger control over the family than we imagined!"
...
"What? Escort the Yellow Beard?" Zhao Qiankun scratched his head, but he didn't expect that Duke Travis would make such a request.
He hopes that Zhao Qiankun and Alex will escort Huang Beard back to the imperial capital for trial.
"This pirate was extremely guilty. He once murdered an imperial official. Although it was my territory, the imperial capital had to personally inquire about his case. But this guy now has the strength of at least a fourth-level combat position. No one in my territory can suppress him. I can only ask you to accompany your son to the imperial capital. I don't know..."
Zhao Qiankun thought for a while and slapped his thigh: "Okay, I haven't been to the imperial capital yet, so I'll help you!"
"That's so thankful!" The duke thanked him deeply, and then said to Alex beside him: "When you arrive at the imperial capital and take the prisoner to the verdict, you can just go to the Imperial Carent Academy to report directly!"
Hearing this, Alex's already unnatural expression suddenly turned a little pale again.
"Carent College?" Zhao Qiankun said curiously: "Is Ling Ge still a student?"
Travis laughed: "I almost forgot that Mr. Zhao came from the far east and might not know much about the national institution of our Lion Heart Empire. It is not an ordinary school that teaches people to read and write. It teaches various advanced skills in different categories. Politics, business, medicine, metallurgy, magic, military, martial arts and even magic... are all within the teaching scope of the Carent State College of the Lion Heart Empire. If you want to ask for learning and don't have a suitable tutor to teach, the National Academy is definitely the best choice!"
As he said that, Travis looked at Zhao Qiankun: "Mr. Zhao, you look very young, this year..."
"Nineteen!" Zhao Qiankun agreed casually. He is only about twenty years old now, and it is just right to get this age.
"This is the good age to study!" Travis clapped his hands: "I see that Mr. Zhao is young and extremely powerful, so he must be determined to learn martial arts. Although I don't know where you are studying, if you can receive a formal education in such a comprehensive higher education, you will definitely get a great improvement!"
"Go to school..." Zhao Qiankun had a headache. He had been studying all his life in his previous life, and finally he was about to enter society, but he was traveling through time at the internship site. He finally had to be free in this life, so he had to go to school again?
"Oh my god, I almost forgot that Mr. Zhao is determined to take risks and does not like to restrain himself..."
"That's right!" Zhao Qiankun took advantage of the situation, but Travis immediately continued: "The Lion Heart National Academy is the best choice. This academy is jointly sponsored by the Lion Heart Royal Family and several grand dukes. It has strong financial strength. Compared with classroom teaching, it attaches more importance to the practical ability of the students. Every year, there are extracurricular teaching and field inspections. The venue is spread across five continents and three regions. For you who like to take risks, it is simply a free car and boat ticket!"
"This is interesting..." Zhao Qiankun nodded. After so many days of coming here, he also had a rough understanding of the overview of the world. This place is only larger than the earth, and the transportation is far less convenient than the earth. It takes a pair of legs to travel around the world. Moreover, the relationship between various ethnic groups here is extremely complex and sensitive, and the procedures required to enter and exit various countries and regions are extremely troublesome. If such a free super tour group helps to get everything done, it would be a good choice.
"Xuelian, what do you think?" Zhao Qiankun felt that he had to ask the opinions of the indigenous people of this world.
The bard girl took out her notebook and said, "Entering the academy to express her youth is very suitable for the beginning of the heroic epic! Lionheart National Academy is indeed the world's leading higher education institution... But the admission conditions must be very harsh!"
"Indeed... to enter the National Academy of Lion Heart, you need to go through strict tests!" Travis looked embarrassed: "But it doesn't matter. Our Dragon Slayer family is also one of the directors of the college. With my recommendation, Mr. Zhao... and Miss Xuelian, you can definitely be admitted without the exam!"
"I've heard of it..." Xue Lian tapped her pink cheek with the tip of her pen: "The board of directors of the Lion Heart National Academy is composed of five major families, including the royal family. Among them, there are five recommended places for the royal family every year, and the other four noble families, each family has only two places per year. If we are given two, what will your brother do?"
"Oh, ah... Although my brother is clumsy, he is still hardworking in his studies and has a good foundation. I hope he can pass the entrance test with his own strength..." As he said that, Travis looked back at Alex with his pale face: "If he really didn't pass the exam, it means he still has shortcomings now. Let's work harder next time!"
