Chapter 23: Flesh and pit
Zhao Qiankun and Xuelian left the castle, Travis and Alex stood in the attic, looking at their backs from afar.
"You seem to be dissatisfied with me and I'll send you to the National Academy?" Travis suddenly said, there were only two brothers in the room. His flattering smile and nervous tone had disappeared. At this time, Travis looked like a strict elder.
Alex didn't speak, but his expression could also read the unwillingness in his heart.
Travis turned around and said in a deep voice: "The entire Lion Heart Empire, all the nobles above the earl, including me, all come from Lion Heart Academy. If there is no diploma there, do you think you can become the only noble in the future?"
Alex snorted coldly: "But as a duke family, if I fail the entrance exam, even the nobles will have no shame to do it."
"Why do you think about failure before you try?" Travis glared: "Even if there aren't these two people, I don't plan to give you the recommended quota!" As he said that, he touched his disabled leg: "I was the first person in the history of the Dragon Slayer family to enter the academy by referring. I don't want you to be the second!"
"In addition, this time, you have a task in addition to escorting prisoners and applying for the academy!" Travis pointed back at the direction where Zhao Qiankun and Xue Lian left. That Zhao Qiankun must pull him to our Dragon Slayer family!"
"Why is this? Who is he?"
Travis sneered: "A strange young hunter with the ability to easily defeat the yellow beard, but he appeared at this critical moment. What did you not expect?"
Alex is also a smart person. When his brother reminded him, he immediately reacted: "Is he the one who brought back the ancient dragon meat?"
"It's very likely!" Travis squinted his eyes: "He could be seriously injured by the yellow beard, obviously not as powerful as the Paladins guess. Although he could not be a real dragon-slaying warrior, he may be the only one who has seen those dragon-slaying warriors!"
Travis sighed: "It's been six hundred years since the Dragon Slayer family has long been gone. This time, once Dagulas dies, we can't even play the role of surveillance of the dragon. The next thing will be the bleakest time of the family. We must firmly grasp all the resources that can be used!"
"How is that possible..." Alex shouted: "Our great Dragon Slayer family actually has to rely on a little hunter who popped up from somewhere... This is simply a damaging to the glory of the family!"
"How many times have I told you, don't underestimate anyone!" Travis suddenly said sternly: "Or what if you really think of yourself as a dragon-slaying warrior? Do what I said!"
Alex nodded tremblingly. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he knew better than anyone how terrible his fat brother, who looked stupid, was!
As Travis said, the Dragon Slayer family is in the most difficult time now. If you want to survive, obeying the instructions of this Dragon Slayer Lord is the best choice now!

"You are really a casual person!" In the lively market led by Hanlong, Zhao Qiankun and Xue Lian were walking leisurely. Xue Lian suddenly said: "Ask arbitrary agree to someone else's request, and you can be led by the nose."
"You mean to go to the college?" Zhao Qiankun picked two ice nuts in front of a fruit stall and handed them to Xuelian: "Didn't you say that studying there is good, and why does college life start with the standard of heroic epic?"
"Of course I can't refute in front of me!" After taking Bing Xinguo, Xue Lian looked at the crystal clear and beautiful appearance. After all, she couldn't help it. She bit her mouth and said, "Besides, Lion Heart National Academy is indeed the best institution in the world. It is indeed very suitable for you, a young man who knows nothing!"
"Will it be a knot!" Zhao Qiankun also took a bite: "It tastes really good!"
"Then you promised too well," Xue Lian said angrily: "I also accepted Travis' recommendation quota. Do you know what this means? Do you know Travis' purpose?"
Zhao Qiankun looked at Xue Lian, who was a little angry, and said with a smile: "With the recommendation quota that even his younger brother Alex did not get, we must have been deeply imprinted with the Dragon Slayer Family. The academy is filled with children of nobles from all over the country, and they are all in groups, which is like a microcosm of the political situation of the Lion Heart Empire. The purpose of the fat duke is nothing more than to let the nobles in the country know that we are from the Dragon Slayer Family. Although we are not voluntarily, we have already stood invisibly and got involved in the political struggle of this country!"
Xuelian said in surprise: "Since you have seen it all, why are you still..."
"I ask you, how big is the Lion Heart Empire?"
Xuelian thought for a while: "Of course it's very big. As the largest and strongest country in Sikaro, it has more than three million square kilometers of local land. Including the Sailan Sea, its sphere of influence is more than five million!"
“How many countries are there in Sikaro?”
"If it is not counted as the Holy Church and those unowned areas..." Xue Lian thought for a while: "It consists of six major empires in total. What are you asking about this?"
Zhao Qiankun finished eating the ice pistachio and spit out a small fruit core. Then he took the fruit that had just bitten in Xuelian's hand and placed it with the fruit core.
"This fruit core is the Lion Heart Empire, this fruit is the world. I have so many flesh to eat, why do I have to chew this fruit core that is only the size of mung beans?"
Zhao Qiankun smiled slightly: "There are six continents in this world, and the Lion Heart Empire is only one-sixth of one of them. I am a hero who wants to explore the whole world. Even if I get involved in the political struggle in such a small place, what can I do? If I stay here comfortably, I will go to school for a few years. If it doesn't go well, who can stop me?"
As he said that, Zhao Qiankun patted Xuelian's shoulders, who was a little stunned: "Girl, remember, what you want to write is the freest and most unrestrained story in the world!" As he said that, he ate Xuelian's ice porridge and vomited it on the ground.
Looking at Zhao Qiankun's confident smile, Xue Lian suddenly realized that she didn't understand this hero of unknown origin. The powerful Lion Heart Empire was like a fruit core that could be spit out at any time. The problems she had been worried about could not even catch his eyes!
Those who are determined to be the world will not be frowning just because they lose a battle; those who are rich will not be unable to sleep or eat because they lose a business. I am willing to give up and let go. Many people are saying, but how many people really have this kind of mind?
Looking at the fruit core on the ground, Xuelian suddenly felt that she was no longer worried, and her heart became much brighter, as if nothing was wrong! Looking at the fruit core, Xuelian suddenly felt that there was no difficulty to defeat herself, and there was no problem that could not be solved! Looking at the fruit core, Xuelian suddenly felt...
"Wait, what the big reason is that you just want to steal my fruit, right?!" Xue Lian suddenly reacted and pointed at Zhao Qiankun and shouted!
"What are you saying, I'm just giving you an example!"
"Nothing is just to steal food. I don't care. You have to accompany me!"
"But I have no money!"
"Isn't there a bounty of three hundred gold coins?"
"Didn't you take it all away?"
The two of them were playing and disappeared into the crowd on the long street.
