"You have to be mentally prepared, it is destined to be a tragedy, I can't guarantee that the blueprint inside the academy will make you a shadow forever," Li Yi patted Cassius on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Don't be too limited in your heart, haven't you found it?" You've been following the academy's script, and what if, the finale of this play ends in your tragedy? It's time to execute your own script. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If you have the opportunity, kill him, so that there will be no nemesis of you in this world, and from the time when the three spirits of the Bruce contract were the nemesis of your spirits, you were destined to kill him." Li Yi whispered this bloody sentence into his ears.

Cassius shuddered, not because the suggestion was terrifying, but because he was really tempted. Bruce also has an identity as the fourth prince of the Holy Pompeii Empire, and he is a resident of an ordinary place, because he awakened the talent of explorers, was sent to the Imperial Academy, and was found to be talented, so he was valued. At that time, he was still young and ignorant, and from his own perspective today, he was a rough child without etiquette, who developed this temperament after learning etiquette for more than ten years and understanding the truth.

When he saw Bruce at that time, although he was still young, he remembered the atmosphere of a noble ruler from his bones, which was his natural temperament.

I remember the feeling at that time, I was completely shocked, and the thought of being ashamed of myself rose in my heart, like a mole that had lived in the crypt for a long time, and suddenly saw the sun.

"Well, maybe the tradition of the royal family is like this, in fact, it is useless, you use the time of training etiquette to improve the perception of spiritual power, to train the spirit, to find opportunities, and now it has long surpassed Bruce, you are ashamed of yourself, it can only mean that your heart is not strong enough, or you can't be strong enough to support your self-esteem." Li Yi commented.

"Later, I was jealous, but I gradually found that such a temperament can also be cultivated the day after tomorrow, so I am spotless now, tall and noble." Cassius looked down at his luxurious attire, but his expression was a little lonely, this was not the change he wanted, just to be able to stand upright in front of the man.

"Is it all you need to surpass Bruce, or even replace it?" Li Yi suddenly asked, "You haven't thought about what to do after you pass?" ”

"After that, my life will be much simpler, I can cultivate quietly, become the top explorer in the mainland, and live happily ever after."

"Don't you think this goal is too vague? Don't have a bigger goal? Li Yi was a little surprised, the other party completely planned his life with the goal of surpassing Bruce.

"Well, maybe in the future, but that's it for now."

Cassius arranged accommodation for them near his villa, and in two days, the race for the top of Olympia would begin.

As soon as Paul entered the room, he exclaimed, "This new dress is so tight, it is so uncomfortable to wear it, if it weren't for the big plan he talked about, I wouldn't have tormented myself like this, and that big plan was that he was competing with others for the so-called face, and he stirred us in." ”

"So, what do you mean? Whether we want to win this game, or just let Cassius fail, his treasury is ours anyway. Li Yi asked quietly.

"Well, first of all, since it's a game, why lose? Isn't it just about winning when you compete with others? Secondly, although the guy Cassius is a bit too dignified, he still doesn't want him to die like this, maybe we will become good friends, these will be things for later. Paul glanced at Li Yi and asked with some vigilance: "I have always been unable to see through you guy, but if you deliberately let Cassius lose, I will definitely not let you go!" ”

"It's very childish intimidation, and besides, you don't need to doubt me, because the game is to win, otherwise I wouldn't have participated, and besides, if you can't see through me, it means that your wisdom and experience are not enough, don't be wary of others because of your ignorance, it's very rude." Li Yi didn't care about the other party's intimidation.

"The most terrible thing about you is that you can talk nonsense, anything that is not good for you will be dismissed as a fallacy by you with so-called logic, maybe it's really that I don't know enough and don't know people like you, but it's always good to be vigilant, I hope you don't mind." Paul bowed slightly to Li Yi and apologized.

Being vigilant and wary of others is commonplace, Li Yi didn't care, anyway, others are either wary of you, or they just want to calculate you, so there is also a certain deterrent.

He also returned to his room, and suddenly remembered that it was rare to come to Pompeii, and he had not taken a good turn to see the traces of history, and the scenes of human activities, and what a joyful thing it was to discover and understand! He had forgotten all about the duck noodle soup before.

The next morning, the sky fell drizzly, the cold weather did not hinder Li Yi's interest, he found a red paper umbrella in the closet, and was about to call Paul to go with him, but this guy slept very hard, so he went out.

The Imperial College has a classical feel to the extreme, every plant is trimmed into a conservative shape, the lawn is fine and neat, the dark green brick paving, although elegant, is too gloomy, and the buildings are rarely embossed, all arched windows with gray marble walls.

The students in the academy are obviously very polite, walking on the right, and meeting each other with a very formal greeting, as if this has become a habit.

This is not the same as the completely indulgent education of Sky Academy, but if you think about it, good work and rest habits are also conducive to people mastering their own bodies, and when they are healthy, their hearts will be stronger.

In the past, when he was in the Sky Academy, Li Yi also slept regularly every day, full of energy, self-confidence also increased, and his body became stronger.

No matter what the city-state is, in the early morning we will always smell the fragrance of bread, and the grain will become golden and swell in the hearth, and it will exude that ripe fragrance from the inside out, which is the delicacy given to us by the earth, so that people can enjoy the joy of the harvest, so that the grain smells of rain, the smell of the sun, the smell of the moon, the smell of dew, the earth, the sweat, the smell of fireflies, and maybe a little nightshade and gardenia, which is the fragrance of flowers left by the maiden when she walks through the field.

After buying bread and sitting in the café, Li Yi's mood was a little better, and the green-level explorer badge on his chest was very useful, and his status was noble all of a sudden.

Suddenly, his heart sank, a tall young man wearing a purple-black scarlet trim toga walked in, this person looked very handsome, the corners of his eyes were hanging high, his eyes were like paint, black and white, although his clothes and expression were eye-catching, but not aggressive, his manners were decent and rigorous, and the flamboyant atmosphere could not be suppressed, and it could be seen that this was an excellent person with good control.

"Who are you?" Li Yi suspected that this person had some kind of relationship with Bruce, and he guessed correctly.

"I'm a lobbyist, a lobbyist for Bruce, ah, and of course on behalf of the Imperial Academy and the entire Pompeii Empire." The young man showed his identity, and that kind of restrained pride did not anger Li Yi, from this point of view, he was a very good lobbyist.

And he conveyed a meaning, Bruce is the orthodoxy of the Pompeii Empire, this is the opinion of the upper echelons of the Empire, and it also shows that this battle for the top of Olympia itself has no fairness at all, although Cassius is not bound to lose, but Bruce's victory has been written in the blueprint designed by the Empire.

", I'm not interested in negotiating with the enemy, before I want to kill you." Li Yi waved his hand.

"Do you think it's great to be a green-level explorer at such a young age? People like you, grab a lot of them in the Imperial Academy, I am just formally transmitting the information of the upper echelons of the Empire to you, don't be ignorant! There was obvious anger on the lobbyist's face, "It seems that Cassius has no choice left, even something like you who doesn't know whether to live or die." ”

"The words are very sharp, but you are an ordinary person at best, an ordinary person without spiritual protection." Li Yi didn't care, asked Felder to detain the young man, and then fed him some medicinal powder brought out of the miracle.

"What do you want to do to me? Tell you, if I am killed by you, the upper echelons of the empire will not let you go! Don't make a mistake about yourself!! As he spoke, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and the young man who angrily scolded Li Yi for not knowing whether he was alive or dead turned into a mouse.

"Lobbyists are too ridiculous, and the funny thing is that they often don't know their own situation, and they think that the forces behind them can deter all the negotiators, but unfortunately, this is the end." Li Yi smiled and threw the mouse on the ground.

The lobbyist had not yet adapted to the body of the rat and wanted to walk upright, so he fell several times in a row.

"Boss, you're provoking the upper echelons of the Imperial Academy, isn't it inappropriate to do so?" Alger asked with some concern, with Li Yi's strength, he was not yet able to go head-to-head with the Imperial Academy.

"No, that's right, this lobbyist, oh, it's this rat that clearly represents Bruce's personal will, and you think the Empire is officially behind Bruce? In that case, they don't need to send so-called lobbyists at all, but instead add to the problem and show their feet. Under the influence of the will of the strong group, I personally have little effect on the reversal of the situation, Bruce is just a fox and a fake tiger, the so-called bloodline, it is not important, the stronger the strength, the purer the bloodline, it is very simple, the Imperial Academy needs a strong junior? Or is it a waste that is good for nothing but pure blood? Li Yi pondered the meaning of the Imperial Academy, and the words were very sharp, and it seemed that this game had a certain fairness.

Bruce sat at the long golden gilt table, and a waiter presented a lobbyist who turned into a mouse, in a glass box, and the mouse held a pen in his hand, drawing some words on the glass, to the effect that Li Yi had fed strange medicine, and it became the current appearance, and there were some incitements, such as such an act was an insult to Bruce, Yunyun.

His master, frowning and seemingly disgusted with the filthy thing, took a step back and covered his nose with a silk scarf.

"So, he refused without even listening to my terms? What makes a Green-level explorer so daring? Cassius, what exactly are you planning? This green-level explorer is also very suspicious, whether he is hiding his strength, and turning people into rats is obviously the usual method of the Chosen One, it is really doubtful," he muttered to himself.

Then he waved his hand in disgust, "Get this mouse out and bury it." ”

"Buried alive?" The waiter shuddered for a moment, saying that this is a big living person, and it is terrible to be buried alive with his own hands.

"Is it hard for you to let it stay here? It's almost buried! ”

"Yes."

Not long after, another lobbyist also turned back and reported: "Dear Lord Bruce, Paul of Kurosawa College rejected your offer, he said, he said he didn't know you well"

"What kind of messy reason? Well, well, since you don't know how to lift, then the Olympia Mountain Race will let you know what horror is! You will be familiar with my methods, and by that time, you fellows will come to your senses and cry and beg me to let you go. ”

Li Yi finally knew why Edmund mentioned Bruce in an extremely disdainful tone in the past, that little trick that didn't make the slightest sense didn't play any role in the situation, all of this was under the scrutiny of the academy's top management.

"One more cheese and eggs." He's in a good mood.

When he returned to his lodgings, Paul looked at him like a thief, and after a while, he said, "Have those people looked for you?" What do you say? ”

"If you doubt me, you will tell me, can't you trust others? Anyway, in Dark Rock, I saved you. Li Yi shrugged, sat on the sofa and enjoyed the rain outside, opened the window, and the damp moisture and earth, the fragrance of grass all entered his nose.

"But you also stole all my sister's money, that's almost all the wealth of a red-level explorer!"

"It's a good deal, don't you think?" Li Yi flicked his sleeves, "If you don't want to, then I can return those spirit crystals to you, but you have to eat this kind of rat-turning powder again, I never force others to trade with me!" ”

"You! What a sinister villain! ”

"Oh, my brother is the same as my sister, I am neurotic and inexplicably suspicious, you are so suspicious, anyway, I still go my own way, and others can't change it." Li Yi smiled and said to Paul: "But I like people like you very much, straightforward and cute, come to me if you have any difficulties in the future, but remember to bring enough spirit crystals." ”

"You're a man! Simply a hooligan! ”

And so another day passed, and Cassius fed and drank well every day, and now it was time for the race.

It was another rainy day, three consecutive days of cold rain made Li Yi feel comfortable physically and mentally, and it felt very good to walk in the rain with a red paper umbrella, and the three of them walked through the Imperial Academy together, and entered Mount Olympia from behind, there were already many red-level explorers waiting, most of them knew Cassius, and called them teachers, it seemed that the relationship was not bad.

"Paul from Kurosawa Academy can be regarded as a top genius on the road, what is the origin of this kid with three green-level spirits? We don't have any information about him, so can he be as gifted as Paul? A teacher asked. (To be continued.) )
