Ancient Mai City, Titus Empire commoner Academy.

There is nothing to say about the former. It is an ordinary city in the north, with no special features, neither large nor small in scale, moderate and insipid.

As for the Titus Empire commoner Academy, it's a rather odd thing. Because in the millennium history of Titus, there is only the aristocratic Academy, how have you ever heard of the commoner Academy? But if you change back to the original name of the Academy, it will be easier to understand. In fact, more than half a year ago, it did have another widely circulated name - Dawning Commoner Academy!

As everyone knows , this is a new thing the Grey Cloth Armed Force created when they negotiated a partnership after a long struggle with the Titus Empire. However, as the Grey Cloth Armed Force was defined as a gangster and rushed to the barren land in the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, the name of the Academy, which was personally determined by the bandit leader, would naturally change accordingly.

Of course, the Titus Empire also thought about destroying these commoner Academy and completely removing the traces of the grey-clothed rebels.

But on second thought, this Academy, which was spread all over the city and took a lot of manpower and material resources to finally build up, if it was demolished immediately after it opened within a few months, it would be a slap in the face! And if you really have to do this, the resentment caused by the people is also a big problem...

After some discussion, the Titus Empire asked for a surname to occupy the magpie's nest. The Academy can be kept, but the fame must go to the Empire. After all, this thing is indeed a good thing from a general perspective, and it has a great effect on stabilizing the people's hearts of the empire...

Stable people's hearts! At least in the great character in the eyes of the Titus court, that's enough. However, actually spending money and people to spend a lot of effort to build the various city institutions of the Academy, it is inevitable that some slander.

You must know that this money is not just a one-time investment, the subsequent loss of teaching materials, various supporting facilities and construction, etc., this money still has to be borne by the finance of each city. This also means that other administrative agencies have less money, and the money that used to be greedy for ink will naturally decrease...

But then, when those dreaming about their own children can be decent Identity, people who will not inherit their desperate life when they grow up, have gritted their teeth to spend the money for drinking, a few months of living expenses, and the money they have saved to marry a daughter-in-law for their children in the future... With both hands holding the Academy, most of them entered the financial system and quickly filled the treasury. , the great characters in the city were shocked.

A huge contrast - I thought it was a business that lost money and made a lot of noise, but I don't want it to be a rooster that can lay golden eggs!

Have some fun! Absolutely messed up!

With the change of concept, the attitude of the top management of each city to the Commoner Academy has also reversed in an instant. Advertise it in a newspaper? The most important thing is whether to increase the tuition fee a little more? Then build a few more Academy...

Of course, none of this seems to be the focus right now. The point is that as the sunset in the west gradually dyes the sky red, a group of hundreds of people quickly gathered in front of the rooster that laid the golden egg.

The clothes are very miscellaneous, both young and old, and there is no evil appearance. However, the doorman who was reading the newspaper in the hut by the door looked up through the crystal glass and looked at the various weapons hanging from their hands and waists. He couldn't help but put down the newspaper in his hand, and subconsciously touched the wooden stick that was instructing the students. After a while, he touched the iron rod on the side again, vaguely feeling that this group of people are not good!

"Three walls, one ditch, and the field is large enough. This is simply a natural fighting place... It's decided, that's it!" In front of the crowd, a young man with a Broadsword looked around casually, His eyes finally swept across the gilded characters of 'Titus Empire Commoner Academy', nodded, and said.

"Uh...here? Imperial Commoner Academy?" An old man dressed in luxurious robes like a rich man walked out with his mouth open, hesitating, "Would you like to think about it again? Rhodes? If things get bigger here, it won't be good."

"Influence? The young man looked up and down at the towering iron gate of the Academy, licked his lips, and walked over with Broadsword on his back.

At this moment, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" The sturdy-looking doorman rushed out of the hut with the iron rod in his hand, with a little vigilance and fear, and shouted loudly. shouted.

But the young man didn't hear it, and instead raised his Broadsword at a distance of three meters, "Uh, what do you want to do... Where are you guys? The Shuangdao Gang or the Azure Clothed Gang? I warned. You, this is the Commoner Academy of the Empire, the great characters are very important, and the garrison is personally covering it, don't mess around..."

Before waiting for the doorman who seemed to have messed up to finish his threatening words, The young man slashed his sword abruptly, chi... a golden and silver sword glow appeared out of thin air, and immediately crossed a distance of three meters, hitting the center of the towering iron gate.

Boom...Boom...

The towering iron gate swayed only once, and immediately fell down like a golden mountain, causing the earth to tremble. Dust flew everywhere.

Carrying the Broadsword, the young man tilted his head and touched his earlobe. He stepped on the iron gate and walked straight into the hospital. When he passed by the doorman who saw Ghost God's love with a dumbfounded face, he paused and turned his head: "Excuse me, How do I get to the dean's office?"

"Walk around..." In the trembling voice, bang! The iron rod fell to the ground, unable to roll twice...

Needless to say, this group of people is naturally Rhodes, Byron and the others who came for Tang En.

As for where Tang En is hiding now, the temple side does not know. However, through the traces of the believers' riots, they can roughly delineate a range.

Because the time to complete the Quest is extremely tight, Rhodes and the others naturally waste their time on the search. As soon as they enter the edge of this area, that is, Gumai City, they simply stop and look for Grey. Cloth Armed Force's secret intelligence agency.

It has to be said that the temple has dispatched a lot of experts in order to successfully clear the root cause of the unrest this time. This naturally includes experts who track and detect news. Under the means of coercion or inducement, they quickly determined the location of the secret agency from various channels in the city. Immediately, with the strength of Rhodes and the others, naturally as easy as blowing off dust, they successfully captured the people inside.

Then the team dispersed and traveled around several cities, and it was logical to catch some more people. Gathering in Gumai City until the evening, Rhodes chose the commoner Academy as the battleground...

A series of actions are like as the autumn gale sweeps away the fallen leaves, and no outsiders are allowed to react at all. Chance. It must be said that although this Rhodes looks a little crazy, the use of many methods is very cold and abnormal, which can be called decisive old man.

......

"Who, the explosive crystal we brought, bury it here at the main entrance, and just bury the other three walls around a little bit, whoever steps on it will be unlucky... Ladies and gentlemen, don't be idle, you are not Magicians, it shouldn't be a problem to get a few magic traps... Alas, clumsy, it's better for your own people... Forget it, forget it, the rest are with me Let's go in and clear the field..."

Hundreds of people quickly divided into many squares to disperse in the cry of Rhodes carefree, with a clear division of labor, and built a defense prototype according to the Academy's terrain. It can be said that in addition to Byron and other Bishops, even ordinary Light God Knights are all true combatants.

"Wait!" Just as Rhodes carried Broadsword to the courtyard, the white-bearded old man Bishop hurriedly grabbed him, "Put a trap here now? People in the Academy, how do those students get out?"

"Go out? Why go out?" Rhode turned his head in amazement and looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, "Don't you think such a game is destined to be a classic? Will the battle be boring without the audience?"

"Eh?" The white-bearded old man was stunned when he heard the words, and opened his mouth, "You, you, you...you are making a fool of yourself. "You know very well that once an expert fights, a random Battle Qi overflow can cause countless casualties. Do you think the temple will bear this huge crime and countless infamy because of you?"

Indifferently shrugged, "Actually, it's you who have made the temple bear so many crimes and countless infamy now! Isn't it?" curl one's lip, Rhode brushed aside the pull of the white-bearded old man and turned to leave , murmured, "I want to be a bad person, and I want to be a good person...Bah! If it is bad, it will be a pinnacle, and I still respect you as a person. I still think about what archway to set up, hesitating, cowering, destined for this life. No future!"

The murmuring was not loud enough, but it was enough for the people around him to hear clearly, "You..." The white-bearded old man shivered and pointed, the old face instantly flushed red, as if next Moment can vomit blood.

When Byron saw this, he hooked the head, stepped forward and patted the old man on the shoulder: "Forget it, don't lower oneself to somebody's level with this guy. And... well, with our current situation, it's no longer true. I need to think too much."

The white-bearded old man opened his lips a few times when he heard this, and finally let out a sigh, unable to lower his arms.

That's the truth. If Tang En can't be killed within a week, the result of waiting for them can be imagined. As a result, there is really no need to think too much now...

After the little episode, the Rhodes entire group strolled in the Academy, walking towards the pointed roof not far away. Go, there's the Theology Hall. According to the guard, the dean was not in the dean's room at this time, but was leading the students to pray in the evening.

It should be precisely for this reason that there is hardly any silhouette in this huge Academy, it seems very quiet.

Walking and going, accustomed to touching his earlobes, Rhodes seemed very interested in the structure of the Academy. From time to time, he pushed open the wooden door beside him and looked inside, where rows of easels, tables and chairs were placed in the studio. A neatly arranged study room, and an etiquette room with mirrors hanging all over the walls...

Of course, it's more of an outdoor study area. For example, the wide circular racecourse, the archer training ground where a row of archery targets is erected, the Martial Training Stage where various weapons are placed, and the red-tiled library looming in the distance...

From the scale of the facility Looking up, this place is naturally inferior to the academy of the aristocrats in the city. But don't forget, this is just the Commoner Academy, a commoner learning place that has only officially appeared in the Empire after thousands of years of existence. So this configuration has actually far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Of course, this is also related to the standard specifications given by Grey Cloth Armed Force at the beginning of the Academy's establishment. Otherwise, if the cities are allowed to build their own, I am afraid that it will be like a slum.

He smacked his lips, "tsk tsk, what an interesting place, after the boring and boring temple of Knight... ...I said earlier, I only know that blind cultivation has no future, and most of the cultivators are high-strength, low-IQ junk!" Looking around, Rhode shook the head, and suddenly exclaimed with emotion.

"hmph!" Although it seemed to be from Knight Hall, Byron and the others on the side felt awkward and harsh, as if they had been insulted in person.

Before the attack, "Hey, who are you?" A middle-aged man in a scholar's robe turned around in the front corridor, full of bookish flavor, like a teacher or something.

"Good evening, teacher." Rhode looked up and waved hello with a big smile, "Haha, I respect the teacher the most, and I like to deal with literate people the most. "

"Uh...I'm a librarian..."

"That's not the point, it's enough to read books and be literate. Well, take the liberty to ask, is this the Theology Hall?" ?"

subconsciously nods her hand, "yes..."

"Ha, thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day." Raising his hand, Rhodes walked away from the middle-aged man. Passing by, in front of you is the building with a pointed roof, which looks like a large area.

"Uh, no need... Wait, who are you?"

came back to his senses, the middle-aged man looked at the dozens of weapons in front of him. Man, finally realized something was wrong. But at this moment, a big man walked past him with a blank expression, and with a knife in his backhand, he simply knocked the librarian unconscious to the ground.

"Don't... ah, how do you say you are good, respect the literate people. One by one, Light God make a move can't be saved..." He pouted and turned his head, and Rhode took it. Pushing open the thick reddish-brown door in front of you, stepping in with one step, then stomping down.

"...In countless dark nights, I used the stars to draw you, and your tolerance and fraternity accompany my sweet dreams. In my singing, I praise you with musical notes, your wise sage makes me The most beautiful time in my life is to know you, my Lord, God the Father..."

The soothing, gentle, yet solemn and elegant sound of the piano keys is drawn out like water, echoing in In this tall and vast auditorium. On the steps on the left, there are rows of boys and girls dressed in black robes, holding their hands in front of their chests, with pious expressions, and singing the praises of Light God in unison. The scene is spectacular and solemn.

It goes without saying that this is naturally the evening prayer that the doorman speaks of. In fact, when Commoner Academy was founded, although theology was also set up here, with the surname of Grey Cloth Armed Force, it was naturally impossible to make it complicated and solemn. In fact, most of them are just a formality, and if there is a morning prayer on Sunday, it will be over.

But after Titus took over the Academy, it was naturally impossible. Theology has become a compulsory course for every student, and the important Surnamed Ling is above all subjects, and various ceremony appear accordingly, so there is this solemn evening prayer in front of you.

It's a pity that Rhodes pushed the door too easily, and the creaking sound of the heavy wooden door instantly inserted a discordant sound in this solemn scene, and the smooth piano keys suddenly stagnated, even with neatness. There was also a little confusion in the hymn of the piano, and finally the sound of the piano stopped, and after a while, the large auditorium fell silent.

Touching his earlobe, Rhodes had a slightly embarrassed look on his face and waved his hand: "Uh, sorry, I'm sorry... continue, you guys continue..."

This situation Naturally impossible to continue, the emaciated old man sitting behind the piano stood up and looked at Rhodes who suddenly broke in and several silhouettes with weapons behind him, frowning slightly: "I am the president of this hospital, who is your Excellency?"

"I said I was just passing by, do you believe it?" Rubbing his eyebrows, Rhode shook his head and walked into the auditorium, waving at the suspicious-looking boys and girls, "Hello everyone, really I'm sorry, uncle interrupted you to sing the hymn... Well, in order to express my apology, will my uncle lead you to sing the next hymn?"

Walking up to the stunned Old Dean, he bowed politely. He saluted and pointed to the black piano behind him, "Excuse me, can I borrow it?"

subconsciously backed away, "Yes, of course."

"Thank you." Smile nodded, Rhodes sat in front of the piano, snapped his fingers, squinted at the sheet music, and looked a little distressed, "Hey, I haven't touched this thing for many years, and I almost forgot about it... Forget it, let's make do with it, Where did you sing just now. Oh, I remember..."

This guy went crazy again... Following Byron and the others who walked into the auditorium hall, the corners of his mouth twitched, full of Face blank.

As a Cleric, the light hymn this thing is naturally familiar, and the score is also have the words at hand. After all, these are required courses before they officially debut. But when is this now? We're here to kidnap, okay? Even if it's a bit embarrassing to break through the hymn as a Cleric, you won't be able to do it yourself! Can you do a little more proper work, bastard...

In all kinds of thoughts, "My Lord, God Father...One, two, three, prepare, get up!" Ding ding dong dong, the slightly jerky piano sound mixed with soft humming, "Please listen, listen to my call. And please have mercy on me and answer me. I did not intend to offend, you can forgive me. Your fault, you can be tolerant..."

The qin song is indeed right, and so is the hymn. Therefore, some unidentified students opened their mouths subconsciously, and the sparse chorus sounded again. After that, as the Old Dean waved his hand in relief and beat the rhythm, the uniform hymn from before sounded again, and the scene became solemn and solemn again.

On the other hand, Byron and the others are a little awkward and a little funny. They are not crazy, and of course they will not go crazy with Rhodes. But in the current situation, it seems very abnormal for them not to sing along, and it is redundant... In the end, they had to watch Rhodes sing loudly, with an embarrassed and strange look!

The existence of these discords did not affect Rhodes. At this time, he was squinting and shaking his head, playing the black and white keys with his hands.

"Ah, Praise God, praise your kindness, praise your fraternity! Ah, believe in God..."
