Chapter 165 Irrelevant people
After two hours of speeches and the announcement of safety matters, the entire academy and the escorted army, nearly 10,000 teams of nearly two legions headed towards the Trial Forest; and the lower-grade students I saw in the morning were just coming to see off to experience the atmosphere, just like ideological education, not as imagined, they wanted to participate in the training together, and stopped and went back to the city gate with some parents who came to see them off.
Walking on the road, except for the excitement at the beginning, most people soon became listless. Although it was not the first time to take action together, it was really uncomfortable to follow the guards and marching at a constant speed, which was really hard to go down. Moreover, the academy stipulates that all students in the Warrior Department must use their own feet, and only those in the Mage Department will be equipped with carriages for transportation.
Lu Chen almost wanted to go to the Trial Forest with a special identity that the teacher could not control, but because Melissa and Talia held his hand boldly, and had to wait for Delake to come to find him, he could only resist the impulse and leave in the class team. The attitude of the two girls made it a little difficult for him to absorb and understand.
Although they were very proactive in the past, they were still as reserved as a girl until this reward. Since the dinner that day, these two beauties have been touching their skin, and now they are even more close to each other. Sharon turned a blind eye that night, which is also extremely uneasy, and it always seems that something is happening.
I chatted with two beautiful classmates without a word, and it was soon lunch time. Because I had to hurry up, the college asked everyone to bring their own dry food, and the water I drank was provided by several water magic teachers in the college. During this one-hour break, the students' respective family situations were exposed.
Seeing the two beauties shyly handing over love food like sandwiches and having no idea what it was in their hands, Lu Chen wondered. When Parn introduced it, he explained that they were all children of nobles. Although he couldn't say how much he felt about them, he was two beauties who took the initiative to pursue themselves. For this situation, Lu Chen inevitably felt pity.
He took their feelings without hesitation. Both of them took a bite, "They look exquisite, the taste is first-class, but the ingredients are ordinary." After praising their skills, he asked in the happy smiles of the two beauties: "What are you eating? It won't be a better thing than what you gave me, let me try it."
"This..." Melissa got stuck on the spot. Fortunately, Talia's head turned quickly, and she immediately replied, "This is what we girls eat."
The other party was unwilling to say that, and Lu Chen did not bother him, bypassing the topic and asking about the situation at their home.
The two unprepared girls revealed the information Lu Chen wanted. Finally, they summarized it: They are indeed children of nobles, and their families are all very bad Counts, but they were inherited. Their ordinary fathers had no other business except for receiving the salary from the kingdom. In addition, they married many wives and had many children for the sake of the nobles, so their lives naturally became difficult.
After looking at his classmates who were looking at him enviously, he had almost the same food in his hands. Lu Chen had the strange idea of "he was like a prince who had walked into the people."
Looking back on the series of experiences I came to this other world, if I removed the incident of escaping and Sharon, I felt like I was reborn with the "golden key" in my mouth. Although the top teacher did not teach me anything and did not give me a copper coin, the things I gave me were priceless.
Thinking of Sharon taking him on the road for a fourth-level scroll, Red Thorn Flower fought with the army of undead for the five million he gave him, and the thief and the others only spent a few million to build a mine, etc., Lu Chen felt a very uncomfortable feeling.
"If I were still on Earth, I might still be an ordinary person like them." After sighing in my heart, Lu Chen easily snatched the food of the two beauties, and then took out a large amount of delicacies prepared by the girls of the red thorn flowers from the space ring. In addition to letting them choose first, other students in the class also came to taste the taste together, barely treating it as a promotion for the official opening of the store after returning.
But before the two beauties could express their gratitude, the classmates in the class who knew Lu Chen were easy to talk to pounce on the food like wolves and tigers, disrupting the atmosphere between the three. Some boys even deliberately blinked at Lu Chen, making him lose his temper, but even drove away his sorrowful mood.
"Oh, is it that I am almost twenty-eight years old in my heart, I am already old? Damn, it seems that I am really old, and I sigh again." After being depressed by myself, Lu Chen and the two beauties around him had their share, hoping to regain their feelings when they were studying from their vitality. But not long after, such a riot attracted other guests, which forced him to put down the food in his hands.
"It smells so good, Lu Xien, you don't leave me a portion of delicious food. I didn't draw circles on your face last time while you were drunk. You're so sorry for me." With this voice, the girl with baby face appeared in front of Lu Chen.
Knowing that there was nothing to say to her, I took out a plate of food and put it in front of her, and Lu Chen stood up to meet Rossell and others who were walking towards him.
As for the classmates around them, they hid as far as they saw Leni. At the celebration a few days ago, they were tortured by Leni and Sharon.
"Biography of Jules, Master Digren." Lu Chen only greeted the two old men and brought them with a smile to the others. There was no way, there were too many people.
"Haha, when we parted last time, I didn't expect you to become the Marquis. What a congratulations. Unfortunately, we didn't bring gifts this time, but we wanted to ask you for something delicious. You won't be surprised." Digren said straightforwardly regardless of his identity.
"You are joking, um... let's sit here." After looking at the students who were very sensible in the space next to me, I greeted him and sat down first, then took out an arrow and lit the bonfire, and distributed food to the people who came over.
When I got the food and followed Lu Chen's appearance, I heated up a little on the fire. When I started eating, Digren, who saw that Lu Chen had something to do, said first: "Lu Xien, it's okay to call you that way. Haha, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask directly, don't worry too much."
"It's good to call it easily. I don't like the word "marquis" at any time." After a polite look, looking at the people who were hot around the bonfire, Lu Chen paused and continued, "Then I'm not polite. If you don't want to answer, just ignore it. Bishop Jules, you are a member of the Holy See, can you tell me about the sacrifice?"
"This~" I didn't expect Lu Chen would ask himself, but he would directly have questions related to the real purpose of the training. He looked around habitually, and then said, "You would ask this, who should have revealed it to you... In fact, there is nothing wrong with you, the high-ranking people, just to dedicate your faith to the gods above. Whenever there is something, most people will subconsciously pray to the gods they believe in, which will produce a lot of faith."
"I heard that there was a living sacrifice before, is it true?" Lu Chen asked.
"Yes, this is recorded in the history books of the Holy See, and there is nothing to hide. The initial sacrifice was to burn the evil necromancers to commit evil deeds, then to the pagans who attempted to subvert the Holy Court. Later, the sacrifice of the saints turning into angels by means of guidance. No matter which one would make people pray to the gods in their hearts." Jules, who thought the other party was just curious, said without hesitation.
"In other words, if the faith is not enough, a few people will die, and let other living people pray to the gods?" Although Jules did not explain in detail, Lu Chen could already understand that compared to a single living sacrifice, such a collective training method can make more people pray to the gods. The most basic thing is that the students pray for their success and parents pray for their children's safety. If the faith is still a little bit short, just die and then pass the news back, except for the family members of the deceased, all other families will also thank the gods for their children's safety. Moreover, this is not considered a dark prayer between competitors, which is really a huge power that cannot be imagined.
"...It's true, but you don't have to worry. When the superiors start, they usually only pick some irrelevant people, and even if they die, no one will care about them. It is even more impossible for the royal family to be selected. The belief in negative emotions is not what our gods need." Jules said in a little detail and hinted to reassure Rossel.
"I don't matter... Haha, sorry, I have one last question, how did the gods make accidents happen? Or did they cause natural disasters?" Jules' words made Lu Chen particularly harsh, because the girls around him, the girls with many brothers and sisters belong to this type. In addition to their parents, it is estimated that everyone in the family regards excellent people as thorns in their eyes.
"I don't know this. It shouldn't cause natural disasters, but someone should be appointed to take action." Jules replied unconsciously. He was in a high position and naturally would not care about the life and death of ordinary people.
After that, the conversation between the two sides had nothing to do, it was just a normal chat. During this period, Rossell also asked Beaumont's character. Lu Chen said perfunctorily, "It's OK" and revealed it.
On the other side of the brigade, in the red thorn flower team that was also entrusted by Lu Chen to protect the girls, Sila, who was raising her head, looked at the lofty sky with a little confused expression, and was silently chanting something in her mouth.
An hour passed and the team re-dragged. However, because of the "insignificant people" in the previous conversation, Lu Chen no longer hesitated to make it special. When he passed by a village, he bought a carriage and asked Melissa and Talia, two people who have been nice to him since school started but had nothing to do with him, sat on them together. He had decided to let these two follow him. Although the possibility of their selection was slim, Lu Chen couldn't let go of it for some reason.
