Dragon Gate Swordsman

"What do you mean by support or not? As long as we can live a stable life, who cares whether it's the emperor or the parliament above us... Oh, right, aren't you from Dayan? I heard that Dayan is still ruled by the emperor, and life is pretty good, isn't it?"

Chongxiao had not yet been to the heart of Dayan, but Xingxiong nodded in agreement.

On her way from the East Country to Longmen, she had been to several mobile cities in Dayan, so she knew them quite well.

It turns out that taxi drivers are one of the most chatty professions in any world.

Therefore, when they arrived near the gate of the Royal Guard Academy, Chongxiao and Xingxiong already knew the difficulties facing this ancient royal city.

But it's useless, and it's not something they can interfere with. Besides... anyway, with Victoria's foundation, no matter how bad Londinium is, it will just be mediocre and will not be to the point of having no way out.

Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya's taxi arrived earlier and was standing on the roadside waiting for Chongxiao and Xingxiong.

The area where the Royal Guards Academy is located is almost at the outer edge of Londinium, but it is nothing like Lungmen where there is a huge gap between the inside and the outside. It can even be seen as an industrial special zone developed based on the academy.

You can see luxurious internet cafes, high-end hair and keratin care shops, sports experience halls and various specialty restaurants, and even romantic inns... Of course, the Royal Guards Academy pursues semi-military management, and at least one-third of the graduates each year will directly join the various regiments of Victoria to serve, so most of them are clean and self-disciplined and will not go to such messy places.

There is actually some distance between the college gate and the highway, probably because of noise issues. Apart from the wide walking paths, everything else is arranged in the style of Victorian Royal Gardens, and the scenery is quite nice.

Therefore, many civilians and tourists come here to take photos.

"Since there is no fixed reporting day, doesn't the school arrange a few people to welcome the new students outside?"

"…You stumped me."

Shi Huaiya stretched her neck and looked around, but still did not see the person responsible for welcoming the new students.

Something is indeed wrong. Just like Chongxiao said, since the reporting date is not certain, there should be staff from the Student Union or the Admissions Office taking turns guarding the door. Otherwise, wouldn't the new students be completely in the dark when they arrive?

"Then you just wait outside for a while, Chongxiao."

"Hmm...Hmm? WHY?"

"The Royal Guard Academy only allows two people to accompany you as freshmen. Besides, you are a man, so we can't send you to the girls' dormitory."

Chongxiao looked at Xingxiong with regret as he "snatched" his luggage away, wondering why men couldn't enter the girls' dormitory? Wasn't this sex discrimination? And how could they assume my gender?

Of course, thinking about it is enough, but it cannot be done.

As a result, before the three of them had taken a few steps, they saw a stumbling figure running towards them quickly.

"Oh my! Are you here to see off the new students? Sorry, sorry, I just went back to get something."

This was a member of the Waifan tribe, which was not uncommon in Victoria. He had long curved horns on both sides of his forehead, which were completely different from Chen Huijie's. He also had beautiful long orange hair and wore a sash of the Royal Guard Academy.

Seeing this, Chen Huijie took the initiative to greet him and introduced herself in the Victorian language that she had learned fluently a long time ago.

"Hello, senior sister, I'm Chen Huijie, a freshman who just arrived today."

"Ah...um, don't call me senpai!"

The Vaifan girl waved her hands in panic, "I am a freshman this year, just like you, but I arrived a few days earlier, so I came out in place of the senior."

Chongxiao and Xingxiong: What kind of senior is such a worthless person?

"Hello, hello, I'm Fiona Yang, you can just call me Fiona!"

The Vaifan girl who called herself Fiona was obviously full of energy. Although she was a freshman with some recklessness and rashness, she did not show any corresponding nervousness or shyness. She even greeted Shi Huaiya Xingxiong enthusiastically.

As for Chongxiao... unfortunately, because he was standing a little far away, he was not noticed by her.

But after just a few seconds, Chongxiao attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

"what!!!"

A terrified scream broke the silence at the academy gate, and when Chongxiao turned around, what appeared before his eyes was an extremely dangerous scene.

A luxurious carriage appeared on the sidewalk at some point, heading straight for a little girl, and it looked like she was about to cause death.

Given the distance between Chongxiao and the little girl, unless he broke the sound barrier immediately, he would not be able to catch up anyway. However, at this moment, he felt a certain power bursting out from his body...

An extremely obscure dark light flashed, causing Chongxiao's figure to disappear from the spot in an instant and appear next to the little girl.

He picked up the little girl with one hand and turned to the safe side. He raised his other hand slightly and aimed it at the cart which was only a few centimeters away. He released the power in his body... but not in the form of kinetic impact. Instead, he formed an invisible shield.

Immediately afterwards, a heart-pounding crash was heard, and the cart tilted to the side and fell heavily on the lawn.

The whole place was silent, and then...

"Granny!!!"

A Kuranta woman ran over in panic and took the little girl away from Chongxiao.

However, what was funny was that the little girl broke free from her mother's arms, ran to Chongxiao in two steps, her eyes full of stars.

"Uncle you are awesome!!"

Uh... can't you just call me brother? I think you are definitely over ten years old...

Chongxiao touched the little girl's head with a helpless look, then looked towards the cart, or rather, towards the two people who were getting off the cart.

Unlike Da Yan, which has fully integrated with modernization, Victoria still retains her aristocratic status and treatment after the failed revolution twenty years ago.

For example, on this section of the pedestrian path, any vehicles of common people are not allowed to enter, but it is not very practical for nobles, and only carts as a symbol of etiquette can enter...

"Hey! Didn't you see there were children here just now?"

As expected, Xiaolongnu, who ran over first, took the initiative to attack, and at the same time carefully checked whether Chongxiao was injured.

This girl is usually a bit taciturn, but she is very considerate at critical moments.

The two people who got off the cart were obviously a master and servant. The frightened boy should also be a freshman of the Royal Guard Academy. The Kalipuni who was standing in front of him was dressed as a butler and was... taking out an Originium staff?

Are you a tough guy who doesn't talk much? Hey! I'm here to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction!

Chongxiao was too lazy to read his thoughts. He raised his hand and a sword energy whizzed past, creating a hole in the lawn next to the housekeeper.

This trick was indeed effective, and immediately froze his arm that had just picked up the staff.

"...You dare to attack Baron Muan Cavendish!?"

Chongxiao didn't know the value of this name, nor did he know that the descendants and nephews of the Duke of Victoria could be awarded the title of baron after their coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen. But even if the Duke of Cavendish was present in person, he would not be timid.

"How dare you drive your car and hit an innocent child?"

"She was the one who showed up where she shouldn't have been."

Black Originium energy surged through the butler's body, but he placed his staff very low, so it was more like a deterrent.

Unfortunately, Chongxiao was not intimidated. The same went for Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya who had already run over. Even the little Kuranta girl named Grani stuck out her tongue and made faces at him... but she was punished by her own mother the next second.

At this moment, Fiona suddenly rushed out and stood between the two groups of people with open arms.

"What are you doing? You can't quarrel here! The seniors from the student council will be here soon!"

She was right. We could already see several people coming out of the academy gate and running towards this side.

"Well...if everything is alright, forget it."

Miao An nervously tugged at the butler's sleeve, "Anyway, nothing serious has happened."

It’s okay. He’s not the kind of playboy who will take revenge for any slight.

Chongxiao gave the little baron a gentle smile. He still liked this attitude.

But the butler's expression remained cold. He only put away the staff after the student union members arrived.

"This is Lord Muan Cavendish, reporting in today about a minor incident."

"Please go in first, we will take care of things here."

Chongxiao originally thought that he would have to argue with the student union, but the other party just listened to Fiona's description of what happened, then took the initiative to apologize and started cleaning up the scene of the accident.

To be honest, this made Chongxiao feel like he had punched the air.

……

Grani Siegfort has dreamed of becoming a police officer since she was a child, because where she lives, whenever something terrible happens, the people who stand up are always uniformed mounted policemen with rifles.

The ancestors of the Siegfurt family were Casimirs, so the family tradition was influenced by many traditional chivalric ideas. After moving to Victoria, although they were not a prominent family, they were respected by their neighbors.

This time, Grani's parents brought her to Londinium for a trip, and one of the main purposes was to see the Royal Guard Academy...but who knew that they would encounter such a thing.

"Thank you so much for what happened today, Mr. Xiao."

My last name is not Xiao...

With a somewhat forced smile on his face, Chongxiao silently complained in his heart.

Grani's father is an engineer who seems to have a very simple personality. After learning what happened, he dragged Chongxiao to a restaurant.

He originally wanted to invite a group of four people, but after Chen Huijie put his luggage in the dormitory, he followed Fiona and put on the ribbon to welcome the new students. Shi Huaiya said goodbye and left alone, saying that he wanted to visit several elders of the family who stayed in Londinium on behalf of his grandfather.

Therefore, Xingxiong was the only one who came along to eat.

"Nothing, just very simple things."

What Chongxiao actually wanted to say was that it was just a piece of cake, but his current level of Victorian English was a bit difficult...

"No way! What big brother did today was very cool! It was great!"

"Ahaha, you got it right after all, little Grani!"

Reaching out and stroking the little girl's head, Chongxiao felt extremely comfortable... It would be a waste not to stroke the furry ears and heads of races like Filin, Wolper, and Kuranta!

As for Grani himself, he closed his eyes and seemed to be enjoying it very much.

"By the way, what does Mr. Xiao do for a living?"

"Me? I'm a policeman."

"What! Is this true!?"

Before Mr. Siegfort could react, little Grani suddenly threw himself forward into Chongxiao's arms, looking up at him with his eyes almost shining.

"Indeed I am... and my colleague Xingxiong, she is also a police officer and my boss."

"..."

Xingxiong, who was already feeling a little embarrassed, immediately raised his foot from under the table and kicked Chongxiao when he heard this.

Then, she became the target of little Grani's "harassment".

"This child?"

"I'm so sorry, Grani's dream is to be a mounted police officer."

Chongxiao nodded slightly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the little girl was a little different.

The peace and stability of the Terra continent is only on the surface. Most countries have their own problems that are difficult to solve, so forces like the police that maintain law and order are more likely to encounter various dangers.

At Grani's current age, he must have understood what danger is, but he still insists on such a dream. It has to be said that it is very commendable.

What's even more rare is that the Siegforts seem to support their daughter's ideas.

"Aren't you afraid... I mean, Londinium is in this state now..."

"That's nothing. We don't plan to have her come to Londinium. At most, she will live in the Royal Guard Academy for a few years."

Mr. Siegfort suddenly laughed sheepishly, "Of course, if my Grani can pass the exam."

Seeing that the couple seemed to have their own ideas, Chongxiao didn't want to say anything more. After all, he only heard about the situation of Londinium and Victoria from hearsay.

Judging from Grani's innocent and energetic character, Chongxiao didn't think she could be a good police officer in a seriously corrupt ruling system...

"Brother Zhongxiao, Sister Xingxiong! If you have time, please come to Karaton to play!"

Before leaving, little Grani looked reluctant and waved his hand for half a minute before being forcibly dragged into the taxi by his mother.

Their family's original plan was to leave Londinium by off-road bus in the afternoon after visiting the Royal Guard Academy gardens. However, because they had to treat Chongxiao to dinner, they had to look for a place to stay.

When the taxi gradually went away, Chongxiao breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to call Xingxiong to go find Shi Huaiya... Just kidding, with the young lady around, it's impossible for him to pay for the hotel himself.

However, Chongxiao discovered that Xingxiong was looking at him with a rather strange look...

"What do you mean? I have a bruise on my face?"

"No…it's worse than that."

"what?"

"Chongxiao, you're not... a lolita complex, are you?"

Xingxiong deliberately emphasized the tone of some words.

She remembered that when they were in Longmen, Chongxiao seemed to have mentioned a little girl named Xueer, and he was so...if this guy is really a lolita complex, then the most important thing to do is to get rid of this harm to the people.
