Chapter 138 Knight School

"In this way, I can rest assured that no one can upgrade his strength to two levels in such a short period of time, unless he is really a martial arts genius.【】" After listening to Vatel's words, the man said with relief: "In this way, this Roger We won’t be able to get the title of nobility until three years at the earliest, and by that time we don’t have to worry about even if there are a few more barons in Hamilton’s camp!”

In fact, this person also expressed Vettel's thoughts, but just to be on the safe side, he still ordered: "Pilke, you are in charge of the knight school, you should pay more attention, if there is any problem with that Roger, immediately take him out of school." Get kicked out of school!"

"Don't worry." Pirk promised, "I'll keep an eye on him!"

The Secretary of State for War, Vettel, and the head of the Privy Council, Hamilton, have been fighting for many years, and it has always been Hamilton's side that has the upper hand.It wasn't until Vettel received help from some mysterious forces in recent years that he gradually gained the upper hand, but the advantage was also extremely limited.If Roger of Hamilton's faction is allowed to get the title of hereditary baronet, it will easily offset the advantage Vettel's hard-won gains.In addition, some of Roger's previous actions on the Lund Peninsula made Vettel very dissatisfied, so the Minister of Military Affairs could not allow him to graduate from the Knight School no matter what.

Roger still doesn't know that he has become an important link in the struggle between the two major factions in the kingdom. He just wants to get the title of nobility and fiefdom smoothly, and enjoy the life of a landlord happily.So the next morning, Roger headed to the knight school in high spirits, hoping to devote himself to his studies as soon as possible so that he could graduate and obtain the status of knight.

The Kingdom of Thorne started with force, and has always attached great importance to the training of warriors.The knight school is the only military academy in the country, and anyone who wants to become a new nobleman must graduate from the knight school, so the Kingdom has always attached great importance to the knight school.

The knight school is just north of Mandos City, and there is a wide road leading directly from the gate of the city.This road is big enough for six carriages to travel side by side, and it is about the same as the widest street in Mandos.Being able to build such a road specially for a school shows just how much the kingdom attaches importance to the knight school.

The knight school was built like a huge manor, with a tall archway at the entrance.Behind the arch is a giant statue of Lawrence the Lionheart, the greatest human king in history, wearing a full suit of armor and pointing forward with a sword in his hand, as if commanding thousands of troops to attack.But Roger knew in his heart that the legendary invincible elite army under Lawrence's command was actually not human beings, but created by the castle hub.

Although the huge empire built by this great king has fallen apart, almost every human country that splits out claims that they are the direct descendants of this great empire.For example, Fernando Alonso III of the Thorne Kingdom is said to be a descendant of an offshoot of Lawrence the Great, so it is reasonable to erect such a statue in the Knight School.

Lawrence's statue is as lifelike as the best sculpture in the great museums on earth, but many times bigger.It was the first time for Roger to see such a large statue, and after looking at it with interest for a while, he wanted to go to the school, but at this moment he found that there were many names engraved on the arch.

Looking at the densely packed names on the arch, Roger couldn't help muttering to himself: "Why are there so many names engraved here?"

"These are the names of knight school graduates." A cold voice sounded behind Roger: "They have bravely sacrificed their lives for the country in battles over the years, and the school engraved their names here to commemorate these heroes. "

"I hope my name will never be on this door." Roger responded instinctively, and then turned to the person behind him who was talking to him, which was really surprised.

Roger knew it was a woman when he heard the man's voice, but he didn't expect it to be such a beautiful woman.

This woman was in her twenties, with a slender figure that seemed to be only a little shorter than Anna. She had short brown hair and dark eyes, with a sharp look flashing from time to time.Although her facial features are not so delicate, and her straight nose and tight lips are not sweet, they have a special bright and charming charm.

This woman was wearing a swordsman's uniform, and the slightly tight clothes were tightly attached to her body, which set off her vigorous figure just right.The tall and plump chest, the slender but powerful waist, the plump and round buttocks and the straight and strong legs make this woman look like a female leopard ready to go, her whole body is full of explosive energy. strength.

"Tsk tsk... so she is still a sporty beauty!" Roger admired in his heart, and then said to the woman with a smile: "Hello, my name is Roger Li, and I am a new student. What is your name?"

When the woman heard what Roger said subconsciously just now, she didn't have a good impression of him. She didn't tell Roger her name, but said coldly, "Since she is a student, why don't you go to class? Is it the first class?" Do you want to skip class when you go to school?"

The woman's tone reminded Roger of the former dean, and his face sank, and he replied coldly: "Can you control it?"

The woman obviously didn't expect Roger to change her mouth. She frowned and was about to speak, but Roger turned around and left.Seeing the back of Roger leaving, the woman frowned even more, and whispered to herself: "Another dude!"

Roger didn't know that he had left such a bad impression on others. He went to the school teacher's office to identify himself, and a teacher immediately took Roger to his classroom.

Roger came to the knight school to study because the king personally asked him, so the teacher was naturally very polite to him, and explained a lot of school rules along the way.These school rules are complicated to say, but in fact the most important ones can be summarized as no salute to teachers, no private fights between classmates, no graduation if you fail the exam, etc.

Roger kept these regulations in mind one by one, and soon went to his classroom.It is said that the classroom is actually a big martial arts arena. After all, this is a knight school, and it is reasonable to regard the martial arts arena as a classroom.When Roger arrived in the classroom, there were already more than a dozen people inside, but the teacher hadn't arrived at this time, so these students stood and chatted in groups.

The teacher who brought Roger into the classroom introduced him to the other students and hurried away.Roger felt that the teacher didn't seem to want to stay here for a long time, and he seemed to be running away when he left, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Just when Roger was guessing what made the teacher so scared, a young man with a horse face brought several guys around his age to Roger, looked him up and down for a while, and said in a frivolous tone: "You Is that the Roger Lee who claims to be the hero of the kingdom?"
