Lei couldn't figure out what was going on. Just after he slept happily for four days and nights, and finally got up and ate a full three kilograms of barbecue, things seemed to have suddenly changed. He was so arrogant, Jerry, who casually provoked them, was brought before him, and notarized by the heads of several big noble families. The two of them had a very fair duel, and Lei slashed the trembling Jerry with his first sword. Jerry's father was watching from the sidelines, watching his son being killed by lightning, but his whole body was trembling like a frightened quail, and he didn't seem to let go of his son's tragic death at all. In the heart.
Those Jerry's companions, it seems that their families have also suffered catastrophe and disappeared quietly within the aristocratic genealogy of the empire. In other words, if it hadn't been mentioned, there would have never been these aristocratic families in the empire. Their personal guards The knights, after being deprived of all honors by the big bosses of the Knights Association, were sent to the most difficult battle forts in the north to guard the border, just like those criminal prisoners.
Only Karibouou was a little luckier. After being deprived of his noble status by Shagru, he was expelled from the area where the imperial capital was located by the security department, and was sent back to his father's province by several spy leaders of the security department. , and asked his father to strictly discipline him. As for the knights under Calibeou, they disappeared inexplicably. They could not be found in the border guards or in the prison. It was just a legend that they were somewhere. There are just a lot of strong slaves in the gold mines deep in the mountains.
There are many other things that puzzle Lei. For example, he suddenly has several mansions in his name, a lot of cash and jewelry, etc., and at the same time, several large fiefdoms have been merged into his territory. This Everything made his manager Comoso very happy. Moreover, Sidok ran to his house with a mysterious face and carefully asked about the circulation method of the fighting spirit in his body. Lei calmly circulated his own fighting spirit. After all the meridians were told, Sidok felt as if he had found a treasure. The four scribes who accompanied him worked hard for two hours to copy and asked Lei to proofread it carefully three times before leaving with a smile on his face.
Sidok left with a big smile, and said that Lei had made great contributions to the empire, and that his majesty would definitely reward him with awards in the future. And some other trivial matters were that the four secretaries were there that day. In the evening, they died of alcohol poisoning due to drunkenness. Sidok, who looked miserable, gave the four of them generous pensions to their families.
Well, the turmoil caused by Jerry's provocation has subsided, and Lei has officially become a member of the Imperial Capital's Supreme Military Academy.
Standing in the spacious conference hall of the main building of the college, Lei stared blankly at the dozens of college tutors, deans and other dignitaries in front of him. Lei looked at them with reverence, while these people had cautious faces. He looked frightened and was trying very hard to please him. Lei couldn't understand why these people were so afraid of him. He just brought too many bodyguard knights and he learned a lesson from what happened to Kari Beou. , Lei was ordered by Sidok to bring more than 300 guards with him no matter where he went.
Lorinster asked very carefully and respectfully: "General Lei, your admission procedures have been completed. Now, we are going to test your various skills in order to find the most suitable tutor to tutor you. You see
..."
Jerry, who was sitting on the big chair next to him, said feebly: "Dean Lorinster, you are too polite. Just follow the normal procedures. But I have to remind you that General Lei has very strong martial arts skills.
, the martial arts instructor you dispatch should be the strongest... General Lei's fighting spirit should have reached the level of the strongest fifth-level golden knight, but his tricks are a little unsatisfactory, so, you see
Let’s do it.”
Lorinster smiled: "Of course I understand that Master Lei's martial arts skills are amazing. I will follow Master Lei's habits and his fighting methods and send instructors with powerful sword skills to tutor him... We are now
What I'm talking about is the issue of tactical courses. You see, history, geography, culture, tactical theory, practical tactics, etc., I don't know what level Mr. Lei has reached in these courses. According to His Majesty's decree, Mr. Lei is
Classes need to be held separately.”
Lei Wenyan, who was standing in the center of the conference hall, nodded quickly and said, "These things? Mr. Jerry said that these historical and cultural things are very important."
Lorinster and the instructors smiled. Well, you know the importance of these things, so you should be somewhat competent, right? But Lei's next words immediately broke their dreams: "But I'm sorry, I
I don’t know a single word, and I can’t write. I know nothing about culture, history, art, tactics or anything like that.”
The tutors at Imperial College were stunned. Lei's words were too frank and direct, which they couldn't bear. He was indeed a top-notch person. Even some of the famous fierce warriors in the history of Imperial College, at least
They had read a few books, but the person in front of them, Lei, who had such a powerful fighting spirit, actually didn't know a single Chinese character, which really surprised them all.
Jerry sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Okay, Dean Lorinster, you should appoint a mentor. Just two or three martial arts instructors, as long as they can train Master Lei's martial arts skills."
As for cultural courses, you may need to send ten to eight tutors."
When Lei heard Jerry's words, he nodded quickly and said, "I think it's more or less the same. I don't know anything about culture. Anyway, you just have to figure it out."
Lorinster frowned and smiled bitterly: "Jerry, there will be a holiday soon this year, and all the instructors are very busy. This..."
Jerry leisurely fiddled with a small gold button on his clothes and whispered: "But according to His Majesty's wishes, Mr. Lei must be tutored by you with all your strength and dedication. And Mr. Lei has the right to make the decision
Where and when will the classes start... Of course, I don’t think Mr. Lei will be harsh on you on purpose. This year’s winter vacation will not be difficult for you. However, at least there are still ten days before the vacation.
In about a day or so, can you at least let Mr. Lei learn a little bit of the basics of writing?"
Lorinster laughed quickly: "That's natural. If it's just a little bit of writing foundation, I can transfer a few of the best tutors from other specialized vocational colleges nearby, and I'm sure there will be no problem...
After school starts next spring, Mr. Lei can take tactical courses together with those academies."
Lei frowned: "Do I want to learn tactics with them?" Although Lei is not a hypocritical person, he also knows that he is the commander of the army now. If he is with a group of children who have not officially joined the army,
Learning tactics together would be a very shameful thing.
Lorinster looked at Jerry helplessly, and Jerry sighed and explained: "Lei, there is no other way. In the tactics course, we must conduct large-scale sand table deductions, so that you can deeply understand every step and every action.
What is the purpose? Everyone must refute each other and find the most reasonable tactics. Therefore, everyone must discuss it together... Of course, I will ask them to arrange for you to study with the most advanced students. You
You can go to class in the name of selecting subordinates and trusted generals, then who would dare to laugh at you?"
Lei grinned and waved his fists excitedly: "Then, let's make a decision. When school starts next year, I will take a refresher course on tactics. This winter, I need a few tutors to teach me writing courses...
"Well, I'll give each tutor a fee of 10,000 gold coins, Jerry, what do you think?" After fooling around with Jerry for a while, Lei began to understand that if you have money, you can buy a lot of things.
Jerry showed a smile and said slowly: "Teachers, you should take a break in winter, but that's why martial arts instructors need a longer rest, and those instructors in liberal arts, it's better to take advantage of the winter to make some money.
Wouldn't it be nice to get a little extra salary?" Jerry's eyes flashed strangely, and he said with a smile: "If Mr. Lei passes this winter and still doesn't know a word, maybe His Majesty will be angry.
.”
After a period of coercion and inducement, Lorinster ignored the excuse that the holiday was approaching and the college was busy, and simply arranged for three of the best liberal arts tutors to accompany Lei to spend this winter. At the same time, there was also a sword
The big guy with the most destructive power in the entire academy was arranged to live in Lei's mansion and accompany him to exercise this winter.
When he walked out of the college gate, Jerry spat heavily on the ground and cursed: "Damn old guy, I get so much funding from the empire every year, but I still want to kill you, what a damn old guy...
.Also, I guess those tutors are not willing to teach you, so they all look a little reluctant."
Lei asked blankly: "I didn't find that they were unwilling?"
Jerry sighed, looked at Lei helplessly and said: "Lei, study carefully, you can tell what the instructors' wishes are just by looking at Lorinster's expression. Yes, you are the emperor
If you are a popular person in the Ministry, teaching you will be of great benefit. But interests and risks coexist. If there is any deviation in what you teach, they will definitely be punished by His Majesty, so...
.”
Lei sighed: "I see, I asked them why I offered ten thousand gold coins, but they still seemed a little reluctant. I also said that resting in the winter and recuperating in my mansion are not as comfortable as returning to their own nest."
Right? At least where I live now, everything is available, right?"
Jerry shrugged his shoulders and shook his head silently. Ray still thought too simply. However, if he thought simpler, he would at least live a happier life. The only thing that made Jerry feel a little strange was that Ray was really too smart.
Is it simple? Didn't he react at all when his mother was killed by the Dak? Ever since he chopped Jerry into seven or eight pieces of meat during the duel that day, he has never noticed that Lei
Any unusual behavior?
After thinking silently for a while, Jerry suddenly remembered the ferocious smile on Ray's face when he was in Turk Canyon. He couldn't help but shiver all over. Looking at Ray's big head swinging from side to side to admire the street view, Jerry felt chilled from the bottom of his heart.
Can a person's anger be stored so deeply?
When the first snowflakes arrived in the 'Crazy Battle City', three old men with fluttering beards were already tutoring Lei in Lei's study. Three scholars who were very famous in the entire Fante Empire came to teach Lei.
For such a student who doesn’t know a word of Chinese characters, I think this is something that many tutors have given up on. It would be too embarrassing to say it out loud. Especially if Lei is a fool who only knows how to wield swords and guns but cannot learn culture.
If so, the risk of accepting such a student would be too great.
Fortunately, at least Lei is not that kind of stupid person. To be honest, Lei is still very smart. The reason why he doesn't know a single big Chinese character is simply because of his background. How many civilians in the entire empire know writing? Only
A few lucky ones can enter various professional colleges and learn some knowledge about finance, management, etc., only then can they have access to cultural courses.
"Lei...Is this how my name is written?" Lei grinned, looked at the word 'Thunder' he had written on the parchment, and laughed. His handwriting was very ugly, because his
The strokes are all straight, going straight back and forth, like a blade, but there is also a bit of a battlefield atmosphere in them.
The three instructors looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It seemed that this student was not too stupid. On the morning of the first day, Lei learned his own name, the name of the country of the Vante Empire, and the names of each province.
How to write. Lei's memory is very good. He wrote down so many nouns without making any mistakes.
Afterwards, there was an hour-long course on the overview of the mainland. For the sake of quick learning, these old guys did not explain the history of the mainland to Lei at all. They directly started to talk about the current situation of the mainland. They also focused on analyzing the economic situation.
Lei knew that it was very important to occupy an important position in the entire war. Without money and supplies, how could you go to war? Didn’t you see that the Bicester Empire even had to use cattle and sheep to replace their armor from the Vante Empire?
?
When Lei finished his morning class and ran out of the study door in a daze, Comoso came in. He said in a dull tone that was very consistent with that kind of conservative aristocrat: "My three gentlemen, your room has been
Ready. According to Lord Jerry's instructions, everything is the best on the market in the imperial capital. I hope you will have a happy stay here. At the same time, each of you is equipped with three personal maids. I hope they can make the three of you happy.
Your Excellency is satisfied... By the way, your rewards have been sent to your homes, and the situation has been explained to your families. You can stay here with peace of mind until next spring."
The three old men nodded with satisfaction, and over there, Lei had already had lunch. After taking a short rest, he began to spar with the martial arts instructor.
This martial arts instructor is known as the most lethal Karub in the entire Imperial Military Academy. He is nearly 1.90 meters tall. Compared to the average Vante burly man, he is already surprisingly strong. However, at this moment, standing in Lei
In front of him, he still looked a little dainty.
The two of them were holding huge long swords in their hands and wearing light leather armor, standing in the back garden like a bullfight. Three old men tutoring liberal arts were holding wine glasses and standing on the balcony of the main building blankly to watch.
Hold them.
Karub's face was filled with caution and a bit of respect. He was not easy to teach students like Lei. Lei's own fighting spirit might have exceeded his own, but what about Lei's identity?
It made Karub very uneasy. Karub also wanted to find a good position in the army, but due to various reasons, he could only be a martial arts teacher in the academy. Therefore, he was not interested in being able to teach Lei
Such students are taken very seriously.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to teach Lei well and gain his favor.
The figures of the two people moved, and the two afterimages collided fiercely. A ball of bright light exploded, and Lomat, who was watching the battle, closed his eyes suddenly. For the first time in a completely head-on collision, Kalub
His body was completely knocked back fifteen steps, while Lei's body only swayed slightly.
There was a look of approval on Karub's face, and then his figure suddenly turned into countless afterimages, surrounding Lei. Zai Lei's eyes widened, unable to find his physical form.
At that moment, Kalub kicked Lei hard on the butt, sending him flying three meters away.
Karub smiled and bowed, and said: "Master Lei, your strength is unquestionable. All you need are a few tricks and some sword skills that can bring out your powerful fighting spirit."
Lei laughed loudly: "Hey, I'm going to trouble you, Master Karub." Lei felt happy. After fighting for so long, this was the first time someone could give him a hard blow on the butt.
of.
The two were laughing and talking when Comoso came over seriously, bowed and said: "Master, here is your invitation..."
