The Spirit World

Chapter 530 Game of Thrones
"It's meaningless to stay here every day and think about the meaning of life, don't you think?" Alice shook her head, probably thinking that what she said was quite funny. She drank another glass of wine: "We just met for the first time, and it's not okay to talk about these things. It's too weird."

"Not strange." Milan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He was a little afraid of Alice's appearance and dared only stare at Chang Yufeng: "Only when we are drinking, it doesn't matter even if it's the first time we meet. He is already drunk, and Sir Alice is still responsible."

"After drinking, no matter who you are, you will want to talk. It's human nature." Milan took a sip of the wine and then exhaled deeply.

"I think that might be the case." Alice stood up, threw her long dress aside, and hailed her carriage to leave.

Chang Yufeng looked at the wavy hem of the skirt, and tried carefully to recall whether such a person had ever appeared in his world.

She also wants to control me when I drink. What's the meaning of coming here to say these things to me?

Alice walked with a breeze, and the domineering aura emanating from her body was revealed at this moment. She stepped onto the steps of the carriage and climbed up in one step, not looking delicate at all.

She looked back at Chang Yufeng, who was just looking at the wine in the glass, eagerly waiting.
"Find a target, just find a target. My lone wolf. You need a target, let's talk again when we have time. I'll look for you, just like today."

Alice's smile was as beautiful as a flower, but to Chang Yufeng it seemed even more like a dream and he didn't understand why.

Alice Victoria, in her memory...

She doesn't understand.

Alice Victoria, in his world?
Probably not here.

And this woman who suddenly appeared in his world was like a guiding light, helping him to find his goal and not be muddle-headed.

Well, actually, the confusion was just his imagination. No one knew why Alice came to him at that time and told him that he was a lone wolf.

A lone wolf is destined to be lonely. It travels thousands of miles to eat meat. It will die without meat and will never compromise.

Perhaps he had never observed such a woman appear, and in his own world, he still had no idea about Alice.

Until now, Alice had never come to see Chang Yufeng, and they didn't know each other when they met. Although Alice would smile at him.

That day, Chang Yufeng drank a lot of wine. Although he didn't get drunk, he always felt his head buzzing.

The Great Purge has been going on, but it has spread from the capital of the Principality of Arlan, Fran. Although Fran has settled down, Fran Academy is in turmoil.

Since she is the Duke's adopted daughter, she would not appear innocently. He learned from Milan that the Flying Eagle Team had basically been replaced by all members. Milan was demoted from the team leader to the patrol team. The replacement of the Flying Eagle Team meant the replacement of the leader.

The peaceful life in Fran would not last long. Chang Yufeng guessed that his background had been thoroughly exposed in Fran. He was linked to Longxu Gong, which meant that during the next big purge at an unknown time, his and Erica's heads would be hung on the wall of a small town for public display.

Alice's appearance may be a warning or a precursor to being wooed.

Because Fran has a song that is banned from being sung but is widely circulated.

[Become a king and be reincarnated for a hundred generations, become a duke and prosper forever]

The new King George openly provoked Duke Victoria at the investiture ceremony at the Church of Light. What King George said was not made public because there were basically no outsiders at the ceremony, only all the knights attended. All we know is that Duke Victoria was very angry and left the ceremony on the spot.

As per tradition, King George will soon become the next king.

But this process also needs someone to carry it out.

Usually a homeless person passing by threw a dagger at the king when he was patrolling the streets, and the king unfortunately died.

Or perhaps an unknown vendor accidentally frightened the king's horse on the roadside, and the king fell off the horse and was trampled to death.

If you think these are too low-level, then it is not impossible that the king is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

Alice has a special identity, and no matter what she does, it will have a big impact. Although she is a nobody, it is not impossible for her to be "helped out" in difficult situations and obtain a title.

This is equivalent to an opportunity to join the Duchess of Victoria's camp, and the other side is also recruiting troops.

His dilemma came from his own incompetence. Duke Victoria wanted a person who could not perform magic and who was a potential danger in the Dragon-Crossing Sect's purge. He could not figure it out no matter how hard he tried. This was considered a small episode.

In two years they will leave Fran. This year is the first year, and today is the first day.

Apart from Shikash, they had hardly ever come into contact with any disgusting people.

The two siblings had never thought of getting involved in the political struggles of Fran. They would just leave as soon as they were done with their studies. They clearly wanted to go to Lastal to make a living, because Lastal was still the pilot city of the [New Testament] and every ethnic group had a place in Lastal.

After all, we will eventually come back to the most mundane questions.

eat.

Erica, who has learned magic, and Chang Yufeng, who has learned some miscellaneous knowledge, where should they find a job after leaving the Carolingian family? What kind of job should they find? Can they afford the rent? Should they settle down? Should they find a wife? Should they get married? Who should they marry? Who should they marry? Who will pay for the cost of living? What quality of life can they achieve? What should they do if they encounter unrest? What should they do if they are purged? What should they do if they are exiled? What should they do if they are hunted down?
How to do?
Chang Yufeng is still suffering from a headache. What should he do if he becomes a burden to Erica?
How to do?
Chang Yufeng was thinking about these questions all day long. What should he do? As a brother, what should he do?
In the world of magic, everything he learned was meaningless. Having magic was fine, at least he had the ability to hunt ferocious beasts, and it would be profitable to dig out the crystal cores of ferocious beasts and exchange them for money.

The pressure was so great that his whole body was shaking.

The savings were less than 1,000 gold coins. Even if we ate at Fran, we would need at least 10 gold coins per person per week. When we were not at Fran, we would need 15 gold coins per week to buy vegetables and meat. There were 53 weeks in a year. Forty weeks at the academy and 13 weeks at home, two years, 1,000 gold coins were not enough.

There are not many spare time in Flandre, as the time for physical work cannot be overlapped with the time for classes. Flandre Royal Academy has never been a place for children who need to do physical work to earn money, so there are regulations on closing the school. If you are not in school, you will be warned by the dormitory manager and expelled.

If there is a "bad record", the Carolingian family's funding may be cut off at any time.

The Carolingian family paid the two siblings up to two thousand dollars a year for free, and these fees did not include the cost of the equipment for the cheating students, who were not allowed to use the equipment.

The same rule applies to the Flandre Royal Academy, which is not open to students who need external places.

Magic, what does it mean?

It means fame and fortune.

There is a world of difference between a person who can do magic and a person who can't. No, it's the difference between gold and shit.

Not everyone has the talent to be a magician, and not everyone with the talent to be a magician can become a magician. Not all magicians can become great magicians. People who can't do magic are called "Mackies", which is a derogatory term because in front of a magician, they are just chickens that can be slaughtered by magic.

This rule is totally unreasonable from the perspective of cheaters, but from the perspective of the knights of Fran, this rule is reasonable and even legal, because the law is set by them.

It is a big deal for a person who cannot do magic to be granted a knighthood, because one night he may be blown to pieces by an unknown magic bullet of unexplained cause.

It is worth mentioning that there have only been two No-Maj knights in history. One was blasted into pieces by an unknown magic bullet of unknown cause during a festival, and the other was chopped into pieces by a magic blade.

The famous law, the No-Maj Lords Protection Act, was established to prevent No-Maj Lords from being blown to pieces by unknown magic bullets.

The No-Maj Knight Protection Act clearly stipulates that no one who is unable to use magic will be granted any title or appellation above the rank of Knight, but important military personnel may be granted the title at the discretion of the court.

In other words, in order to protect No-Maj, as long as you are a No-Maj, you will never become the target of political struggle in your life, and No-Maj will be completely deleted from this understanding. Power has nothing to do with No-Maj anymore.

A Muggle Chicken is just a smarter chicken.

One interesting thing is that this law treats No-Maj people the same as political prisoners in prison.

Chang Yufeng was considered a No-Major by everyone. But he was not a complete No-Major. He knew a little magic, such as setting fire with his fingers, water flowing with his palms, and creating wind under his feet.

Fire can burn clothes, and clothes can burn people to death, but Chang Yufeng must keep burning clothes for an hour. Water can drown people, so if Chang Yufeng keeps filling the bathtub with water in his palms for an hour, the bathtub will be almost full.

If he did, he could also be hilarious.

That can also be considered lethal.

Magic is cruel, political struggle is cruel, and bleeding and losing heads are cruel.

Hunger is a human instinct, keeping warm is a human need, and there is no reason to suffer from hunger and cold.

Life in Fran is good, but the cost of living in Fran is very high. If Chang Yufeng still had to pay rent in Fran, the two of them would have signed a contract to sell themselves long ago.

Therefore, Chang Yufeng's anxiety was like a nightmare every day and night, and he was also disturbed by splitting headaches from memories. He was able to hold on only because he thought that Erica would have a harder time living if she lost him. For the sake of his sister, who depended on him for everything, he was almost on the verge of collapse, but he remained indifferent.

He was depressed because he could not laugh no matter what. He was not trapped in a predicament, but in the quagmire of life and survival.

money.

It can clear up most of his quagmire, but it is of no avail. Some things cannot be solved even with money, such as his headaches. The pain of fragmented memories is getting worse and worse. He has difficulty falling asleep, and every time he falls asleep is a torment.

Sometimes he would wonder, why himself?

To face this quagmire of life?

I am poor and sick, and I am really sick. I am stuck in the quagmire and cannot extricate myself.

He is still young, how long does he need to live? Worrying about money every day? Worrying about illness every day? Will there be an end to such days?

Chang Yufeng was feeling upset and wanted to talk it out. Only an outsider like Milan could confide in him.

Milan could only say that everyone is suffering, but everyone’s suffering is different, to comfort Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng didn't believe it.

Because Milan is not a No-Maj, Milan is an unknown team leader of the Eagle Team. How bad can the magic and swordsmanship of someone who can join the Eagle Team be?
It is almost impossible for everyone to feel the same way. Such things are simply written for children.

As the song goes, kings come and go, and dukes are passed down from generation to generation.

In the final analysis, in the mist of history, it is nothing but reincarnation, reincarnation, reincarnation. In whose hands is this reincarnation?
They don’t have anyone in particular.

The only thing they have in common is power, money, and a pen.

Chang Yufeng looked at the book "Who Rules the War". Its author was Pylos, the man who had disappeared for seven years. Pylos's thoughts were so profound that he felt awe-inspiring.

On the last page of the book, Pylos signed his name.

I also wrote the last paragraph.

"This book was indeed written by me, Pylos, but it's not something I should write. I study history and look for the truth about the meaning of life in history, but I don't think I've found the answer. The book's view that the world is always dominated by money, power, and pen owners is not necessarily correct. If you have a different point of view, you are welcome to find me or mail it to Building 202, Charles Street, Fulan City. To: Pylos I Phoenix."

[Building 202, Charlie Street] is the house where Chang Yufeng and Erica have lived for nearly seven years.

"This book, Who Rules the War?, is not my masterpiece." Pylos put his cowboy hat on the table and looked at Chang Yufeng, who was concentrating on the book. He crossed his fingers and said with interest, "The theory in this book is outdated. To be honest, historical research requires logic, but reality does not. A person does not need logical thinking to do anything. The only logic is that his brain tells him to do it, and he does it. In order to analyze his behavior, we researchers will create a term, logic, to describe this phenomenon, which is nothing more than an addition of logic."

"Teacher Pylos." Chang Yufeng closed the book and pressed it with his palm. Seeing that Pylos was not arrogant at all and was even looking at him happily, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Actually, I take a shower pretty quickly. I was wondering if I should come to see you soon. I just went to see Erica. She was practicing water magic. I came to see you because I have something important to tell you. Come with me." Pylos stood up, took the cowboy hat and put it on his golden hair, then covered it and pressed it down.

He turned around and motioned Chang Yufeng to follow him. He was as confident as ever, even his big white teeth were so bright.

Chang Yufeng nodded and stood up: "What's the important matter?"

He doesn't get close to anyone, so how could anyone come to him with important matters?
"Have you heard of Wenti County?" Pylos shook his white shirt and walked in front.

Wenti County.

"Of course, that's where I'm from."

"That's it. Someone sent you a letter. The address is Wenti County, to Jack Nieman in Wenti County, with Principal Philip." Pylos looked back at Chang Yufeng, who was half a head taller than him, and said to him angrily: "You guy, are you waiting for the principal to personally deliver the letter to you? I heard from the principal that this letter has been with him for a long time. Didn't the Carolingian family notify you to pick it up?"

"No." Chang Yufeng shook his head, his brows furrowed, with an indescribable weirdness in his expression.

"That's bad. Maybe the Carolingian family has forgotten about this matter." Pylos touched his chin: "For example, someone suppressed it."

Chang Yufeng looked at Pylos' back, surprised at his guess.

"Here's what happened. I talked to the principal about you, and then he suddenly said that you had a letter with him. The letter was given directly to the principal to give to you, but because he couldn't notify you directly, he passed it on to the Carolingian family. The Carolingian family told the principal that you knew about this matter, but you didn't come, so it was put on hold."

"What do you mean? Mentor?" Chang Yufeng listened to Pylos' words in shock.

No one had ever told me that I had a letter with Principal Philip. He nodded.

there has never been.

"That is to say, you may have been tricked by someone." Pylos walked quickly in the corridor of the academy. Those exquisite murals looked ugly in Chang Yufeng's eyes. There was still a long distance from the principal's office. He seemed very angry and needed to be angry, but he was surprisingly calm and seemed to have no expression.

"Have you offended anyone?"

Pylos stopped towards Chang Yufeng.

Chang Yufeng nodded.

Shikash.

Pylos patted his shoulder seriously and continued walking. Chang Yufeng was a little dazed and followed him.
