Edge of the Apocalypse -
Chapter 936: Goodbye, Lily
Oz's kneeling could be considered to have knelt down Alan's identity. Perhaps the people in the academy wouldn't recognize someone as important as Alan. However, everyone in Fenrir City knew that as soon as Oz knelt down, everyone around him knelt down and bowed. The three teenagers who were riding horses with the city guard's son were even more pale. They fell to the ground, their bodies clinging tightly to the ice-cold ground while beads of sweat flowed non-stop.
Alan smiled as he looked at the city guard's son. The dagger in his hand glowed red. Sticking his finger to the youth's broken finger, the sound of barbecue immediately rang out. The teenager was dying of pain, but the blood stopped. "What's your name?" Ellen asked leisurely.
"My name is Lord Laughan. Lord, listen to me …" Just as the youth was about to defend himself, one of his feet landed on the ground and he was unable to shout.
Alan withdrew his dagger and clapped his hands. "You just have to answer my question. If you say any more nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue." Then he said coldly to Laughan's companions, "Go inform his father and tell him to scram over to the academy and see me."
The youths hurriedly ran away and jumped onto the horse like the wind.
Alan gestured to Laura, who understood. He walked over and lifted Ron up like a chicken, threw him to the side and said coldly, "Follow behind. If you dare to run, you can assess the consequences yourself." She patted the big sword behind her back, her eyes cold.
Ron didn't dare to run, he was afraid that his entire body would tremble.
Allen waved his hand, letting the crowd disperse and march alone with Oz. He patted Oz's head and smiled, "Half a year, you've grown taller."
The son of Baron Duruf was surprisingly shy and smiled faintly. Alan looked at the youth with his fingers broken behind him and said, "Originally, a little bastard didn't need to make such a fuss." However, it seemed that some people in the academy did not value the rules set by Edward, so they had to knock on the door. As for him, he could only say that he was unlucky. Who let him hit my hand? But Oz, tell me honestly, is there anyone in Fenris who doesn't want to get involved with you? "
Oz lowered his head and remained silent.
Ellen did not force him to answer, but continued, "A small city magistrate dares to allow his son to flout the rules of the academy. It can be seen that the father and son are still not arrogant enough to go to heaven in Fenrir City? I don't have time to argue with such a powerful person even if he is slightly domineering, but no one in my eyes will say anything else. I know you're not in a good position. After all, you're still young. Some people will not put you in their eyes, and even think of a way to override you. It doesn't matter. After visiting the academy today, I'll meet someone. I'll go with you to Fenrir City later. It seems that I was too gentle to those people before. They seem to have forgotten who gave them their current life. "
He did not purposely lower his voice, which made Laughan, who was behind him, listen to him word for word. Ron shivered. No matter how stupid he was, he could foresee a storm in Finlier City.
He just wanted his father to be smarter.
"By the way, my lord, why did you come to the academy?" Oz suddenly asked.
Ellen shrugged and said, "Come and see a prince."
"Your Highness?" "Could it be His Highness Lily?"
"Isn't that her, Little Oz? Do you know where His Highness is?"
Oz laughed, "I know, she can only be there."
Behind the academy, there was an artificial lake. Originally, it was a place to increase the scenery of the academy, but now, it had become someone's training ground. When Oz brought Allen and the others to the artificial lake, they could see that there were many students swimming in the lake from afar. It was the end of winter. Although the artificial lake was completely frozen, there was a large amount of thin ice on the surface of the lake. It was unknown who had opened a passage on the surface of the ice, and those students were swimming back and forth in this passage.
On the other side of the lake, a young girl can be seen leaning on her hips and shouting at the students in the lake, "Swim faster, you idiots. Could it be that swimming three laps is your limit? That's really embarrassing for your men. You know, our Naga women, even if you swim for a day, no one will cry out for exhaustion!"
Alan shook his head. Who was that girl but Lily? This His Highness is quite good at using forceful words. The Naga race is an alien race in the sea. They are basically living in the sea. Swimming is as natural as breathing to them. Even humans can't catch up on this point. '"When Her Highness and Sir Edward came, everyone was very curious. Princess Naga was not very common, after all. Especially a cute girl like her, but soon everyone realized that they were wrong. Her Highness's paranoia and stern attitude in some aspects were even more terrifying than those old gentlemen from the academy." Auss smiled bitterly.
Alan agreed with this point.
"Her Highness is also very interested in the academy, and with Sir Edward's approval, she has opened a naval warfare class in the academy. She forcefully grabbed a few students to study, and every day her homework is inseparable from winter swimming …" Oswald's forehead was filled with a headache. "If she continues to toss about like this, I'm afraid the students will be scared away."
"She will leave soon. Don't worry." Alan comforted the little baron, took a deep breath, and shouted to the other side, "Your Highness, I'm back."
The girl who was shouting at the students in the lake was stunned when she heard this. Then, he narrowed his eyes and raised his head. As expected, the silver-haired man was smiling and waving his hand. The girl sneered and did not answer. Instead, she released her Qi and raised her hands.
"Not good." Ellen smiled bitterly, "Your Highness wants to settle the score with me. Little Oz, hurry up and go behind me."
Oz hurriedly ran behind Alan, while Laura walked silently in front of Lucy. Following that, the artificial lake produced a series of rumbling sounds. The ripples in the lake spread out, and the surface of the lake was split into pieces of ice. The students in the water screamed as they swam desperately towards the lake bank. But before they could swim to the shore, a pillar of water suddenly rushed up from the lake. The water column twisted and charged at Alan like a dragon in the water.
Alan smiled helplessly, and his aura suddenly rose. He took a step forward, inhaled, raised his hand, and punched out from afar.
The tip of his fist lit up.
The people on the shore of the lake saw Alan's shore suddenly shine with red light. A ray of fire broke through the sky and blocked the water column on the surface of the lake. The fire and water collided, causing the air to be filled with water vapor. The two forces cancelled each other out. The water vapor rose, and a seven-colored rainbow hung obliquely under the refraction of the sunlight, causing the people on the shore to be dumbfounded. However, the students in the lake did not have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rising water mist and rainbow floating in the air. When they climbed ashore, they felt as if they had lived for two generations.
The mist dispersed and the rainbow disappeared.
Lily had already bypassed the shore and arrived at Alan's side. The young girl chuckled coldly, "Haven't seen Sir Alan for half a year?"
Alan smiled and said, "This is no longer amazing, but it is also amazing, Your Highness Lily."
Lily was still a half-grown child. Ellen's flattery made her feel very disappointed, and the resentment in her heart immediately decreased by three points. "I'm still thinking that if you don't come back, I'll take it as a breach of contract. At least you haven't forgotten what you promised me," he snorted.
Ellen said seriously, "If it weren't for the fact that I had to, I would have already rushed back. If I hadn't rushed back to see His Highness, I would never have reneged on my promise. Without delay, where is the person His Highness Lily needs me to save?"
"It's right here, but there are many people here. Let's go back to Dawn Castle."
"It'll take us a long time to get there. Why don't we go to Fenrir City? We'll be there in an hour, and Baron Oz will provide us with a place to hide."
The little baron didn't know what the agreement was between Alan and Lily, but he also knew that it wasn't a small matter to make the two of them so cautious. "This is just a small matter. It's on me," Xiaolian said solemnly.
"Well," said Lily, "I'll go prepare first. Wait for me at the gate of the academy."
Alan agreed.
The group of people walked back and learned that more and more people were quietly appearing in the academy. As they walked back, Hu Li Gao, the dean of the academy, brought a group of lecturers to meet them. Dean Hu Li Gao's hair was already gray, but he was in good spirits and his face was red. This person had once competed for teaching in an Imperial War Academy, but he was too upright, offended the nobles, and was kicked out of the academy.
He met Roger at Ark Harbor, and Roger was in the same boat as him. Although Hurigao did the same thing again, with Roger's help, he got to know a lot of local rich men and became a private lecturer for some wealthy merchants and nobles. It was Roger who recommended him to Edward and Edward personally took charge of the completion of the Glorious Light Academy before sending him to the position of Dean.
When the old man saw Alan, he did not kneel down like the others. Instead, he asked, "There is something I have been keeping in my heart for a long time. I have to take the liberty of asking him a question when I see you, my lord."
Ellen waved his hand and got the lecturers up. He smiled at the dean and said, "I'm listening."
'"I was fortunate enough to have been chosen by Sir Edward for Mr. Roger's good fortune that day, and made me dean of the academy. I asked him at that time why the academy was such a thankless affair. Lord Edward said that you should ask him yourself when Viscount Allen comes back." Hu Ligao smashed his lips and said, "The first thing to do in running a school is to have financial support." I've seen a lot of big shots these years. They have money, but none of them have such thoughts. In the end, running an academy would only earn them some fame, but the actual benefits were pitifully small. But for them, there are many ways to earn fame. No matter what, they don't need to touch the school. "
Alan shook his head and said, "I don't know how to tell the truth. The original purpose of setting up the academy was to nurture useful talents for myself. This is just my own selfishness. However, in the process, I can also benefit the citizens. I'm afraid this crude answer will disappoint the dean."
Hu Li Gao was indeed stunned, but he said, "Although the answer is different from what I thought, it is still much better than those words that desperately put gold on his face."
