The surroundings were still hot and noisy, making Xu Ren and his team's area seem to be frozen in time. The frozen and subtle atmosphere made Xu Ren pause, "?...Did I ask something I shouldn't have asked?"

?”

Why have everyone's expressions changed?

"No, of course not. It's just Anya-sama, why did you suddenly think of asking about... uh, the emperor's affairs?" Verladi took the lead to adjust and gave a forced and twisted smile.

Kraut and the others couldn't even squeeze out a twisted smile, their faces turned pale.

Before Xu Renwei activated his level 4 power, Verrati was still embarrassed because he was the former chief, and would show off his character by being arrogant from time to time. After Xu Ren launched his level 4 power, Verrati had restrained his words.

Xu Ren was also addressed with an honorific title, and when Xu Ren reached the level of a third-level talisman, Verlady had become the second Anna, completely surrendering to Xu Ren.

Not only Verratti, but also Conn and others changed. At first, it was just because Xu Ren was suitable for that position. But gradually, after Xu Ren's strength exceeded their bottom line again and again, their eyes when looking at Xu Ren slowly changed from admiration to

In addition to being in awe, Xu Ren and the others' position in their hearts has become someone they look up to, rather than someone of the same level.

This is the rule of the Cass continent. Strength is supreme and the strong are respected. Even if they are females, this rule has been integrated into their bones and blood and brought into their lives.

"I heard my former classmate talk about the affairs of the inner court, and suddenly I remembered it," Xu Ren said.

Verladi and others remembered that Xu Renzeng had stayed at the Language Institute for two years. After all, many people from the Language Institute had been admitted to the inner academy. It was impossible not to have met Xu Renzen.

Coupled with the "blame scandal" in the Liliju Challenge, it is impossible to keep it a secret that Xu Ren attended the Language School of the Foreign Languages ​​Institute, although I still can't figure out why Xu Ren, who is so powerful, would go to the Language School.

However, it is not strange to hear people from the outer court talking about the emperor of the inner court.

"So that's it." Verladi laughed dryly, but did not answer Xu Ren's question about the emperor in the inner court.

But Anna said, "Lord Anya, there will be no chance of intersection between you and the emperor, so you don't need to know that person."

Anna has returned to her expressionless expression, but her voice is tight, stiff and suppressed.

"Now it's time for us to have breakfast. After breakfast, you have to have a good rest. When we get to Flenya Iceland, we won't have the time to rest peacefully."

Xu Ren said "Ah", looking at this scene that had happened several times and was very familiar with it, and then stopped talking. He found that whenever Anna didn't want to do something or didn't want to do something, she would always change the subject quickly.

.

Is it not possible for the emperor or the inner court to ban words?

Xu Ren secretly moved his gaze to Dio's face, which had a relatively normal facial expression. The latter understood the meaning immediately after receiving his gaze and smiled helplessly.

In order to rush for time in the morning, the students who boarded the ship basically got up at six o'clock and arrived at the meeting place at seven o'clock. There was no time for breakfast. Of course, there was no need for breakfast.

During every exercise, the hospital on the airship will provide breakfast and lunch as gifts, and both are quite rich buffets.

It seems to be a common practice. The probably reason is that during the exercise, you will not be able to eat a good meal for at least two months. In the later stages, you may not even be able to eat hot food, and you can only eat compressed biscuits or nutritional pills.

However, for such a rich breakfast, Xu Ren somehow thought of the dinner. In ancient times, it seemed that there was a custom of giving prisoners a sumptuous dinner the day before they were beheaded so that they could go on their way.

After breakfast, Verladi and the others sent Xu Ren back to his room to rest. After Anna and the others left, Dio deliberately left and stayed.

Of course, it was impossible for Verrati and the others not to notice it, but they just pretended not to know.

In the room, facing Xu Ren's bright eyes, Dio coughed a little uncontrollably, and then said, "Vellati and the others are more sensitive to the word emperor. Don't mind, Sir Anya."

"I don't mind, but I'm curious why Anna and the others are so sensitive to the word emperor?" Xu Ren sat on the bed and stared at Dio with a curious look on his face.

In fact, Xu Ren was just curious at first. If he was told the result directly, I'm afraid he would just remember it and wouldn't ask any more questions.

However, Verlady and Anna behaved so abnormally, and Xu Ren became curious. In his mind, Verlady and Anna were both the kind of people with strong self-control, except for Verlady when he first entered the inner courtyard.

Apart from having convulsions, he can act as a perfect diplomat regardless of his likes and dislikes.

But when they talked about the emperor of the inner court, both of them showed gaffes at the same time, and it was hard for him not to be interested.

"How should I put it?" Dio's expression was a little tangled. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Lord Anya, can I ask, how much do you know about the emperor of the inner court?"

"I just heard from my former classmates that there is an emperor and six stars in the inner courtyard. The six stars control the influence of the six students in the inner courtyard and control 90% of the students in the inner courtyard. However, the six stars are all under the orders of the 'emperor'.

They also say that the emperor has the blood of ancient mythical beasts." Xu Ren said truthfully.

"It should be true that they have the blood of ancient mythical beasts, but it is not very accurate to say that the six stars are dispatched by the emperor." Dio smiled, "You may not know that, except for the six major stars in the inner courtyard,

In addition to the power, there is actually one person and one department explaining the truth."

"The leader of the first department is naturally our Lili department. Our Lili department has always been self-controlled, and we are all female. The six major forces cannot and will not put their hands in, so we can also be said to be the inner ones.

Apart from the six major forces, there is only a seventh force that can rival them, and as for that person, it is Emperor Lei."

Is the emperor's name Lei? Xu Ren silently wrote it down, while Dio continued talking.

"The Emperor and the Six Stars entered the inner courtyard before us, so I also heard what Senior Zeng said." Dio paused and his voice sank, "Without the help of external force, in terms of physical combat alone, Master Lei's strength is

No one among the Six Stars can compare. This is said to be based on evidence. The Six Stars once had a competition with Emperor Lei, but the result was that even the close combat skills of the Six Stars, Mr. Ganglas, could not be mastered by Mr. Lei.

Go through ten moves."

"No way?" Xu Ren was shocked. He didn't know how strong Glass was, but he knew a little bit about Tosri, and Glass was stronger than Tosri. Then, Glass couldn't move even ten times in the hands of the emperor.

Recruit? How powerful is that?

Dio realized that his statement was wrong and hurriedly made up for it, "I don't mean that the gap between Lord Glass and the emperor is that big, it's just the difference in blood. Orcs are different from us females. They have a characteristic, the advanced bloodline beast state.

When the orcs are fighting in close combat, they can suppress the opponent by releasing pressure."

Xu Ren said "Oh" and nodded in understanding.

Dio continued, "Actually, Master Glass's animal state is already close to the divine-veined mutant animal state, but he is still suppressed by the emperor's thunder and unable to move. There is only one explanation. The other party is of an ancient bloodline that is even higher than him."

"This is why there will be an emperor in the inner court. The inner court has always only had the word 'star'. Star means stars, and it also means the guardian star of the inner court. It's just that there are more and less 'stars' in each term. For example, in the previous term

There are only five 'stars', and the word emperor only appeared after Lord Lei entered the inner courtyard."

"But it is a bit unreliable to say that the six stars all obey the emperor. The two are different in nature. The six stars control the six major forces. The emperor is used to doing whatever he wants and has no control over the interests of any forces. The two sides can only say

We have reached a balance point, and we are not in conflict with each other, but Emperor Lei's request for peace will make Liu Xing take it more seriously."

Dio didn't finish what he said. It's okay if Six Stars don't pay attention to it. The emperor's violence and destruction index are unmatched. If Master Lei is angered, no one knows what Master Lei will do. Six Stars have scruples. They

Everyone has a group of forces behind them. Sometimes these forces can be a help, but sometimes they are a hindrance. This is a typical example of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

But the topic has returned to its original point.

"Then why are Verladi and the others so sensitive to the word emperor?"

Dio looked a little embarrassed, "Maybe it has something to do with Mr. Lei's personality. Mr. Lei's personality is quite..." He thought for a while and finally found an adjective, "Unrestrained."

Unrestricted? What is this description? A big question mark flashed above Xu Ren's head.

Dio sighed and said with a bit of frustration, "Because Master Lei treats females and orcs no differently. In addition to not attacking females, once a female offends him, he will also retaliate mercilessly."

"Furthermore, I don't know if it's because of his beastly appearance. His appearance and height have always been relatively small, and he has no tendency to grow up. He himself has a taboo, that is, he is too self-conscious about height and appearance. At that time, we didn't know this

No, Verrati and Anna just violated Mr. Lei’s taboo, and then..."

Dio didn't say the rest, but Xu Ren understood and said, "Are you being retaliated?"

Dio smiled bitterly and nodded, "That was when Verrati first took over the position of chief. The emperor is a volatile person, and like Purple Star, he never participates in inner court exercises. We have never had contact with each other before, let alone understand.

I don’t know what kind of mentality the seniors have, and they haven’t told us about the emperor. We only vaguely know that there is such a person that even the six stars are taboo about.”

"It wasn't until Verrati took over the position of chief, gave a routine speech, and went to various courtyards for exchange activities that he saw the legendary Emperor Thunder for the first time. Anyone who sees a young orc appearing in the inner courtyard will be surprised. The result

Verrati and Anna were in trouble. Kraut and the others were completely implicated, but I only escaped because I entered the Golden Sword Class the following year."

No wonder only Dio's face didn't change particularly. Xu Ren understood it a little bit, but he was also a little curious about what the emperor Lei did to make Verrati and the others change their faces at the mention of this name after so many years?

Dio refused to let go. He just said, "You are lucky, Mr. Jinlei is not in the inner courtyard. Otherwise, your takeover ceremony may have something to do with it. But you can rest assured that we will do it."

We will not allow you to come into contact with the emperor, but just in case, it is better to tell you, after all, you and Mr. Lei live in the same villa area."

"But please remember, if you see a man no more than 1.5 meters tall in the inner courtyard with red eyes and orange hair, don't call him "little brother" or check his height. Just pretend you didn't see him.

good."

The poor little monster had no idea that he was being given eye drops by Dio.

Xu Ren wrote down Dio's warning and asked, "Which type is the emperor? Isn't it the mecha type?"

He heard that the conditions for entering the mecha class were very strict. According to Dio, Emperor Lei should be a very powerful orc, so why hadn't the mecha class seen him before?

"Master Lei is the only dual-department student in the inner college. He majors in the Department of Medicine and minors in the Mecha Department. Although he is a minor in the Mecha Department, Master Lei already has the strength of a special mecha unit, so he often goes there.

When I receive some special missions from the military department, the time in the inner court is abnormal. Sometimes I disappear for a month or two. Speaking of which, this time I haven’t seen Mr. Lei in the inner court for three months."

"Can I study in two other departments?" Xu Ren asked, "Then besides the Li Department, can I also choose another department?"

"Well, I don't know about this either. Mr. Lei is quite special. We don't even know his full name. His personal information has been greatly modified. Mr. Anya, do you want to choose another department?" Dio asked the latter sentence.

He was cautious because he was afraid that the dean would have a stroke if he found out.

"No, I'm just asking." Xu Ren shook his head, and Dio breathed a sigh of relief.

After explaining, Dio left. Xu Ren let the little monster out of the space necklace to breathe, and carefully placed it next to his pillow. After thinking about it, he took off his coat, raised the temperature, and lay down on the bed.

Xu Ren slept soundly until twelve o'clock, when Verladi and the others came over to ask him to go to the cafeteria for lunch, and told him that they would arrive at Flenya Iceland in about two hours.

Xu Ren nodded to express his understanding.

Lunch was richer than breakfast, and Xu Ren found that most of them were very portable. He nodded with satisfaction. Verladi and the others thought that Xu Ren was satisfied with lunch, and smiled and recommended Xu Ren a few good ones.

The food, everything was enjoyable, and the few of them had no idea how "horrifying" things would be waiting for them next.
