After leaving the investiture delegation's residence, Sun Fei, leading his Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ], hurried towards the ' Chambord City Civil and Martial School ' with a solemn expression, ignoring the surprised looks from passersby. He was heading to Gordon Brook, the military tycoon of Chambord City, who had been busy at the school recently.
Sun Fei sensed a tense atmosphere at the investiture delegation's residence, feeling a hint of danger. Although he still didn't know what was going to happen, the fact that the Princess of the Zenit Empire was on such high alert meant it was no small matter.
Sun Fei needs to make some preparations.
The ' Chambord City Civil and Martial School ' is located on the site of the former residence of Herald Bazel. Apart from the royal palace, it is the largest stone fortress complex in Chambord City. Like many buildings in the city, this residence seems to be over a hundred years old. Moss grows in the cracks of the white stone walls, and slightly yellowed and withered vines spread on the walls, making it very beautiful from a distance.
Sun Fei could hear the shouts of children coming from outside the school.
Upon entering, one sees over a hundred shirtless children practicing a simple set of boxing techniques with Frank Lampard, their feet planted in a horse stance—a stance required by Sun Fei and included as one of the basic courses at the Chambord City Civil and Martial School.
The kids practiced very diligently.
Beads of sweat slid down their still-childish faces, leaving them drenched in sweat. Some of them were already standing with trembling legs, but they gritted their teeth and persevered. They were all children from ordinary families, aware of the hardships of life and their low social status. To have such a learning opportunity was already an incredibly fortunate stroke of luck, so they all mustered their strength to improve their eyesight and change their own and their families' fate. No one was lazy.
Lampard, carrying his Giant Divine Weapon black sword, the Colossus, swept his gaze over each child, correcting their mistakes at any moment. This taciturn former top expert of Chambord City disliked politics and military affairs, seemingly indifferent to everything, but he was full of interest in teaching these children. Coupled with his ample free time, he became the chief instructor of the Chambord City Civil and Martial School, undertaking almost 99% of the training tasks. Furthermore, with his former reputation as the top expert of Chambord City and his Three-Star Class strength, he was also the most popular teacher in the entire school besides Sun Fei.
"Good morning, Principal!"
Upon seeing Sun Fei, the children's eyes lit up with surprise and admiration. They all stopped training, straightened their backs, and stood at attention, giving a uniform military salute.
Hello, students!
Sun Fei chuckled.
He tried his best to look dignified and returned a military salute in a proper manner.
All of this was the set of school rules that Sun Fei had set for the Chambord City Civil and Martial School. It was a complete copy of the set of rules he had learned during his university military training in his previous life. Such etiquette was not complicated, but Jian Jie and novel. Once promulgated, it was surprisingly popular with the children, which also satisfied Sun Fei's perverse sense of humor once again.
As for the children calling Sun Fei "principal," that's a school rule. Once you step into Chambord City Civil and Martial School, no matter who you are or how prominent your status is outside the school, here, your only identity is either a student or a teacher.
"Keep training!"
Upon hearing Sun Fei's command, the children immediately resumed practicing a simple set of upper body boxing techniques in a horse stance. Each little one's face was flushed with excitement as they shouted and practiced with great effort, all wanting to impress the principal. If Frank Lampard was their favorite teacher, then Sun Fei was the supreme idol and king in each of their hearts. In this world where the strong are respected, Sun Fei's previous performance had completely won over these children who dreamed countless heroic dreams.
"Uncle Lampard, you've worked hard."
Sun Fei was very respectful to Frank Lampard. This Three-Star Warrior was the old King's sworn brother and had always taken good care of Alexander. Like the handsome old man Best, Sun Fei had always treated the two of them as elders.
"Your Majesty!" Lampard nodded, a rare smile appearing on his face.
He could clearly sense that Sun Fei's strength had increased again. Now he had no idea what level Sun Fei was at, but at least one thing was certain—he had definitely surpassed the Three-Star Class level. Otherwise, with his own strength, he would definitely have been able to sense it.
"Uncle Lampard, these little guys are the future darlings of Chambord City. Whatever the school needs, just send someone to Uncle Best and say it's my order..." Sun Fei looked at the back door of the little house, like a rabbit seeing a carrot, and stroked his chin, laughing, "We must make sure these guys grow up quickly."
Lampard smiled and nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the school lacks nothing except teachers and cultivation manuals. Several of these children are indeed very talented, with a full range of attributes, basically possessing all five major Dou Qi attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There are also a few promising candidates for magic. Unfortunately, the Chambord City royal family currently has limited Dou Qi manuals, only four or five one-star and Two-Star Class water and fire Dou Qi manuals. Moreover, Brook and I all practice Water-Element Dou Qi, so..."
Sun Fei understood.
The quality of teachers is indeed a problem.
The Azeroth Continent is diverse in its professions and cultivation methods. Each person has different physical constitutions and innate attributes. Only by cultivating a Dou Qi manual or magic path that is compatible with one's own innate attributes can one cultivate successfully. Otherwise, if one cultivates a manual that is incompatible with one's innate attributes, not only will one not increase one's strength, but one may also damage one's body and develop chronic illnesses.
"I'll figure something out!"
Sun Fei bid farewell to Lampard and found Gordon Brook training a group of girls in the distance. The girls were physically weaker, so Sun Fei, the headmaster, didn't require them to undergo the same high-intensity training as the boys. Instead, they received some basic military theory education from Brook, which was one of Brook's strengths. Although he himself wasn't particularly skilled in this area, it could at least provide some basic education for the children, right?
However, this situation also made Sun Fei realize the importance of finding teachers for the school.
Among the girls, Sun Fei spotted Pierce's daughter, Louis. After a simple wash, the little girl looked even more beautiful and ethereal. Her cool and elegant demeanor made Sun Fei spot her immediately among the forty-odd girls. Surrounded by the girls and pestered for a few stories, Sun Fei finally had a chance to call Brook aside and arrange some things.
Brook's expression changed after hearing what Sun Fei said.
"Your Majesty, it really is..."
"Whether it's true or not, from now on, you have soldiers intensify their search for suspicious individuals throughout the city. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, no matter who they are, lock them up in the [ Little Black Room ] first... Remember, especially those special faces who have recently arrived in the city, investigate them thoroughly, and if they don't obey, expel them from the city."
Sun Fei was truly determined this time.
The tense atmosphere he sensed at the Zenit investiture division's headquarters gave him a very bad feeling. Chambord City might be facing a huge danger, one that Chambord City could not possibly withstand on its own, and one that might even far exceed the disaster caused by the Black Armor Army's siege of the city.
Brook agreed and turned to make the arrangements.
"Wait..." Sun Fei suddenly called out to him again, and after a moment of silence, said, "Also, order all soldiers in the city to strengthen their vigilance for the next few days, with round-the-clock duty. At the same time, notify the residents of the city to prepare for the worst. If the situation becomes unfavorable, immediately evacuate them from the city to take temporary Avoid."
Brook's expression changed; only after hearing this order did he truly realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Go away, I hope I'm just overthinking it."
When we left the Chambord City Civil and Martial School, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets.
Sun Fei rode the Black Whirlwind slowly toward the palace. The Big Black was intelligent and moved very slowly. Sun Fei frowned as he thought about everything that had happened that day, trying to piece together some clues, but he felt he had no way of investigating. He could sense a shadow looming over Chambord City, but he had no clue where the danger came from or why it was coming.
As he walked, Sun Fei's brow suddenly twitched.
He sensed a dangerous aura, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast in the shadows. A chilling aura locked onto him, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns.
"Someone was following us?"
Sun Fei's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained expressionless as he gently patted the Big Black beneath him.
This beast was practically a genius; it instantly understood Sun Fei's meaning. Without uttering a sound, it quietly changed direction and headed towards a secluded alley in Chambord City.
This squalid alley was located near the garbage dump in Chambord City. It reeked and was infested with cockroaches and rats. Sun Fei rode [ Black Whirlwind ] to a depth of more than 30 meters in the alley, jumped off the Big Black's back, patted its head, told it to go to the side and die on its own, and then stopped where he was.
A dozen seconds later.
A bright orange flame flashed across the slightly dark path. Wherever the flame passed, the soil, walls, and stones seemed to melt and become viscous. Then, something magical happened. A human-shaped outline of yellow mud slowly emerged from the wall. As the flame dissipated, the mud outline changed, and a tall, strong man appeared before Sun Fei.
"Did you deliberately lure me here?"
The burly man wore a mocking expression. In the dimly lit alley, his tall figure seemed to isolate Sun Fei from everything outside. His body exuded a powerful aura without any concealment, locking onto Sun Fei with a chilling killing intent.
My head hurts so much.
Xiaodao 'm ashamed to say thank you for the red tickets and tips, brothers.
First update.
