Chapter 19 The King and His Ministers
It was night, under the quiet moonlight, Bing Zhixie stood on a roof outside the college from a distance, looking at the roof standing in the center of the college The big blue crystal tower between heaven and earth. Tomorrow is the time for the results to be released. There should be a chance to enter that tower again in the academy.
Not far to the north of Kurantin is the palace of the Demon Moon Empire. The palace where the palace meeting is held is still brightly lit. The gorgeous side palace king Otillet XVII, who is also the 61st king of the Demon Moon Empire, is sitting in front of a long table with several important ministers, still discussing something. Among them are the current Duke of the Christian family, Christine Schiavallo, and the current president of Curantine College, Edith Chilam.
Xiavalo handed the information compiled in front of him to the guard and handed it to the king: "Your Majesty, this is the information that the spies sent to various countries have found out in the past few days. The theft case of the Great Blue Crystal Tower This is not a special case. Cases of theft have occurred in important departments and the residences of princes and nobles in other countries. What was stolen was all priceless treasures or It is very precious information and information, and even the military defense map of the Demon Battero Kingdom has been stolen. The information collected by the minister is the most significant theft case in recent years, with 104 cases recorded. "
“Since 104?” The Seventeenth Emperor pondered for a while: “Have you found out who did it?”
Xia Valuo said: "There are 42 cases that have resulted in results. They were all committed by spies from the enemy country and some famous thieves. Several cases were committed by the family."
The seventeenth generation nodded and said : "That is to say, Kurantin's theft case may also be one of the above situations."
Dean Qilam immediately said: "It is unlikely that the guard committed theft. I can see clearly that the person who fought with me is a child, and there is no other accomplice inside or outside the tower. He should be a lone thief."
The captain of the Royal Guards suddenly said: "Could it be someone from the Gale Theft Group?"
Hearing this, several people's faces changed color.
The Gale Theft Group is a theft group that emerged four years ago. It has been particularly popular in the past two years. Their members are very mysterious and can steal anything. Two years ago, there were crazy thefts in several countries in the west of the mainland, which caused the entire country to be in turmoil. Even the princess of a certain country was stolen. It was really shocking. It is said that there are not many people in this group, but they are all very powerful. They usually like to commit crimes alone, and there are no more than three people at most. At present, many well-known thieves in the world want to join this theft group, but they don't know how to join.
A minister expressed concern: "If it is the Gale Thief Group, it will be in trouble. Although they have made mistakes sometimes, no member has been caught so far."
Guards Army The chief said: "You are worrying too much. I just said that the Gale Theft Group only raised a possibility. Although the Gale Theft Group stole He has visited the palaces and palaces of several countries, but they are all small countries. Even the countries with some strength will not let them succeed. Is it true that they have failed several times? If he dares to steal the palace of the Demon Moon Empire? Come, I will make sure they never come back."
Xiavalo also agreed: "Captain Kasha is right, don't you. How could the Tang Empire be afraid of a small group of thieves? This matter may have been done by an enemy country. In short, these are just speculations at the moment. The Guards and the Royal Guards are more suitable for solving the case, but they have not been caught yet. Man, I don’t have any clues. I’m afraid it’s not easy to break.”
Kasha nodded: “We are now. We still don’t know what the thief wants to steal, and we can’t make any further speculations without knowing his purpose. However, it’s not like there are no clues at all. He is a child... Dean Edith, the college is recruiting students recently, if the thief is. If you really want to get the things in the Blue Crystal Tower, will you pretend to be a candidate and sneak into the academy?”
"I am also worried about this." Chilam said.
The Seventeenth King had been sitting at the top of the table with a calm face. At this time, he said: "Okay, this matter is neither big nor small. Kasha, I will leave this matter to you. It’s done, Duke Christian is solely responsible for it. Dean, let me tell you what to do. It’s about this year’s candidates, didn’t you say you have something important to report?”
Chilam picked up the two paper bags beside him: “Your Majesty, please take a look at these two papers.”
A guard took it and handed it to the king.
Xiavalo asked: "What happened to the test paper?"
Chilam said: "The question of this paper is also related to the Duke. The college is worried about how to grade this paper."
"Is it related to me?" Xiavalo immediately realized: " Is there the paper of my grandson Bimoye in it?”
Qilam told the king and the ministers about the situation of the two papers: “Since the establishment of Kulantin, we have never encountered anything like this. thing if If I give full marks to all of them, I think I should report it to the king for 1,200 points and let you make a decision."
The Seventeenth laughed: "This is a good thing. There has never been anything like this since the establishment of Kulantin. Good results, although this is not a graduation exam, but he is a genius even in the entrance exam. Xia Valuo, your family has produced a good grandson.”
“Thank you for your praise.”
Others also expressed congratulations, but some looked envious and some were jealous.
Xiavalo thanked them one by one. The seventeenth generation looked at the names on the two paper bags: "There is actually someone who can be compared with the number one genius in the imperial capital. Who is this Celeste Bingzhixie?"
"I don't know either." Chilam said, "I checked his report. The application form he filled out when he was famous was very ridiculous. In short, there was no information about his life experience."
An adult said: "Then why does Kurantin Academy let people who don't know their identity so easily. People take the exam?”
Chiram's face darkened: "What do you seem to be accusing?"
"Now it is very likely that thieves will enter the school as candidates, and your college's supervisors are so lax, which is really poor management. , It’s suspected of dereliction of duty!” This gentleman’s name is Schwager Mordochiweiser, who has always been resentful because he failed to compete with Chilam for the position of Kurantin Academy.
Khilam knew that he was deliberately looking for trouble, so he was not polite to him and retorted sternly: "I am in charge of the academy, not your intelligence department. Kurantin has always been responsible for recruiting Students from various countries, because of this, have trained many outstanding talents for various countries, even if they are ignorant and unknown in remote areas As long as he has the ability to pass the exam, Curantine College will definitely teach him! Therefore, the empire has always had good relations with neighboring countries and has won good diplomatic relations. This is also the policy set by His Majesty the King of the past. The childish one is just a ten-year-old child. It is difficult for a child who has ideals and wants to learn. Do you want to check his identity like a spy?"
Modo Ziweisel didn't show any weakness at all: "Then you can't just admit an unknown person into the academy. What if he has ulterior motives? ? What if he is from St. Bikeya?"
"Wouldn't that be better? What will people from other countries think of the people from St. Bikeya who are trained by us? It will only give our empire a better image! And even if someone from St. Bikeya wants to take advantage of the academy, this It seems that your intelligence department should be responsible." Chiram shook his white beard and stared at him menacingly.
Modozziweise was stunned and immediately speechless.
"Okay, okay, please stop arguing, my dear friends. This is just a child. Will the heart of my majestic empire be disturbed by a child?" The Seventeenth Emperor said to them. Emotions calmed down.
Modo Chiweise was still a little unconvinced after thinking about it, and said: "I feel that the handling of this matter by Kurantin College is still a bit sloppy. At least the teacher who agreed to this candidate's entrance examination must be held accountable."< br>
Another adult next to him advised: "Oh, Mr. Schwager, This is just a small matter, why do you need to make it big?"
Chiram knew that he was not strictly investigating because of the student's affairs, but he was angry because he had to deal with himself, but his heart moved. Suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, then you can pursue it, I won't stop you."
Modozziweiser was startled again. He didn't expect him to agree to this nonsense so easily. He couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
Chilam said: "Let me make it clear to you first, the teacher It’s not that I haven’t asked about the student’s identity, it’s just that Bing Zhixie said he was an orphan and didn’t know the identity of his parents.”
"Then you shouldn't just let this candidate take the exam. Do you believe it if you just spread panic? Such a teacher is too unvigilant."
"Then you should be held responsible. "Chilam said calmly: "Chen Sufina"
"Of course I want to..." Modou Qiweise was stunned and couldn't speak anymore.
Everyone around him laughed, even the seventeenth generation laughed. Kasha laughed and said: "Hahaha, it turns out to be Mr. Schwager's niece. Dean, your move is so powerful."
Modo Chiweisse was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Xia Fuduo said: "Okay, you have to quarrel every time you meet. Your Majesty will really be angry if you quarrel again. Schwager, fortunately this is a small meeting between His Majesty and us. Everyone It's just a joke, but if it gets to the meeting hall and all the ministers know about it, it won't be easy for you."
Seventeenth Generation. While watching their liveliness, these people were not only his courtiers, but also his fighting partners when he was a prince, so he could watch their nonsense like this. He also knew that these people seemed to have some differences with each other. People have conflicts, but once they come to the real king's council, they are all strict and capable ministers.
