Chapter 425: Instructions
After the part-time job was confirmed, Aldrich asked Kevin to sit down and began to ask him some things.
"Kevin!" the instructor said with some seriousness, "You have been coming to Gabeira for a while, so you must have some understanding of the current situation in the Imperial Capital."
Kevin was a little confused. , "Teacher, what are you referring to?"
A trace of caution appeared on Aldrich's face, "About the issue of His Majesty's successor."
Kevin understood that he had always heard about the secret rivalry between the two sons of His Majesty Emperor Bartley Griffin, the eldest prince Felix Griffin and the second prince Antonio Griffin.
“Listen!” Aldrich explained to Kevin, “The Royal Document Library is also part of the Royal Building, so it will inevitably fall into these disputes, but as long as you don’t take the initiative Explore these things and don't ask questions, and you won't get into any trouble."
"I will keep it in mind." Kevin nodded honestly.
Oh my God, the plot I had only seen in novels and on the stage was about to happen around me.
Seeing that he was a little scared, the senior Mond Landon on the side quickly comforted him and said: "Don't be afraid, Kevin, you will not have any problems if you do as the teacher said. You are a foreigner, how can you resist?" With the aura of the Bachelor's Tower, as long as you don't get involved, others won't do anything to you."
I don’t want to get involved, Kevin complained secretly, but judging from your previous appearance, you seemed to have a good relationship with the second prince Antonio Griffin, and he also studied with Mr. Aldrich, so he can be considered me Where is the senior?
I don’t know why, but he became curious for a moment and blurted out: "Teacher, who do you support?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake. The teacher just said I told myself not to take the initiative to explore.
Aldrich glared at him first, then stroked his beard and said: "Don't ask so casually in front of outsiders in the future, but now we are all our own people in the room, so it doesn't matter if I tell you, of course I He supports his student Antonio, and our entire Bachelor Tower also supports him. This is not a secret. The whole empire knows this. So, as a member of the Bachelor Tower, others will acquiesce when you walk outside. You are Antonio's supporter, but if you take the initiative to ask this or that, you will definitely get yourself into trouble. I just told you today."
Kevin nodded repeatedly. He has been doing this for the past few years. I also understand what kind of existence the Bachelor's Tower is in the Gabela Empire. To describe it in one sentence, it is like a big tree with deep roots. No wonder he dares to openly support the second prince. Even if he is on the wrong side, the new emperor will not take advantage of the Bachelor's Tower. If someone wants to establish their power, at most they will lose some financial support.
After thinking about it, Aldrich said: "Okay, Kevin, take some time to go to the Royal Archives to get familiar with the new environment. Get along well with the old people there, and ask for advice when you encounter something you don't understand." ——Except for what I just said, don’t look down on others because of your status as a member of the Bachelor’s Tower.”
“I will definitely remember your instructions,” Kevin said solemnly to his mentor. A gift.
"Let me take you down." Mond Langdon led Kevin out.
"Kevin, do you know?" Senior Mond said to Kevin as he walked on the stairs, "I think the only way is to hand the empire into the hands of His Highness Antonio, Gabella... No, it's Only the entire human civilization has a future.”
Huh? It seems that Senior Mond is a loyal supporter of His Highness the Second Prince.
"Alas, it's a pity that even though he has our support, the eldest prince also has more than half of the local lords and the Gabela Church supporting him, as well as a mother who is a queen and a grandfather who is the prime minister of the empire. The outcome is unpredictable. "
How can the outcome be unpredictable? Kevin complained in his heart, carrying Felix on his back. Antonio's conditions are too bad, not to mention the rumors that he has a very dishonorable background—— A child born to a witch. well? Wait, Antonio won a big victory before. For Gabella, who values military merit, there might be a chance.
Although he was secretly comparing the two princes in his mind, Kevin did not say a word. He kept the teacher's instructions in mind.
Senior Mond Langdon on the side was talking non-stop.
The two of them arrived at the door unknowingly, and Senior Mond glanced at Kevin with satisfaction.
"It seems that you have remembered what the teacher said. From now on, you will do this. Regarding the two princes, no matter what the other party says, don't interrupt." It turned out to be a test. Kevin breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Meng. De Xue Zhang later left.
……
After sending Kevin away, Mond returned to his teacher’s study.
"How is it?" Aldridge asked.
"Very good," Mond said with a smile on his face, "Kevin has listened to your instructions."
"Alas," Aldrich shook his head, "With this kid's talent and wisdom, if Joining our plan will definitely help him become a good helper, but he is still so young, and I can't bear to drag him into the water."
Mond laughed, "Why drag him into the water? It's such an ugly thing to say, teacher, we are doing this for the future of human civilization."
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore, you know, McDonald and Alves are coming back."< br>
“Oh!” Mond responded, but his heart was filled with waves.
Old Marshal MacDonald was a big shot in the Gabela Empire's military. He had participated in the war against the Nesta Empire with His Highness Antonio. After the victory, His Highness Antonio returned first, while the old Marshal temporarily stayed at the border.
McDonald has not expressed any preference for the competition between the two princes. I don’t know what variables he will add when he comes back this time. After all, his influence in the army is too great.
As for Alves, he is another important senior member of the bachelor's tower. He is a few years younger than Aldrich and is considered his junior. Because Alves was good at military strategy, he was sent to the border to help Antonio and Macdonald after the war. After the truce, he was responsible for presiding over the negotiations with the Nesta Empire. He also stayed on the border, this time with Mike. Come back with Donner.
“I don’t know if Alves persuaded Macdonald. This old guy has always been known for being old-fashioned.”
Aldrich stroked his beard, and frowned. Showing a bit of worry.
Mond comforted his mentor: "His Royal Highness Antonio's outstanding performance in this war must have left a deep impression on the old marshal."
"Well, I think so." Aldrich Agree with the student.
Even if he cannot be brought to the side of the second prince, the old marshal must at least remain neutral and must not be allowed to support the eldest prince Felix.
I would like to say sorry to everyone, I am really sorry that it took so long.
I originally planned to update it last week, but after watching the movie "White Snake: Love", I became addicted to Cantonese opera and couldn't help myself.
It’s amazing. Although I don’t quite understand it, I’m deeply involved in it. As soon as I turn on my mobile phone and computer, I can read everything. This is probably the charm of traditional culture.
I recommend everyone to watch "The Legend of White Snake: Love". It is really a conscientious work. It is a pity that there are so few films scheduled, especially in Guangzhou, which should be the main box office, but the epidemic happened during the screening period. It is really It’s hard to describe in one word.
