Doomsday Code

"My Lord Earl, I will use blood sacrifice to open a passage for you later."

Achilles waved his staff, blocking the vines that kept whipping at him while turning back to speak to Wisdom Shield.

"Disciple, we are the ones who failed this time. When you return, the strength of those around you will be greatly reduced. Disciple, you must learn to be patient. I believe that with your talent, you will soon surpass that old guy."

Achilles used a burst of fire to repel the vines swung by the vine dragon Deadwood, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

“But I still have to tell you that you still have to be patient. That old fellow dared to murder you, his disciple. There must be someone behind him instructing him.

Don't think about revenge for your master, your mission is to survive and reach the highest position.

Only then will you have the strength to challenge him and the guys behind him."

Looking at the vines that were attacking again, Achilles said with a determined look.

Then Achilles, who was wearing a wizard robe inlaid with gold thread, looked at a knight with a broken arm beside him and said in an unquestionable tone:

“Torre, wait a minute, I will open the passage, and you must take the Earl away from here safely.

Old man, I still remember that just outside this forest these days is the practical class of the noble class led by Melinda and Isabel. You can make some noise to attract these two.

I believe that the two of them will come immediately when they notice the movement. With their protection, you can retreat safely."

Torre tied up his severed hand with strips of cloth torn from his tattered cloak, and then nodded.

At this moment, tears of anger, regret and pain flowed down Earl Huidun's handsome face covered with sweat.

"No, Master Achilles, you can't do this. There must be another way. Master, you can't use the blood sacrifice."

As the earl spoke, the wand in his hand glowed faintly again, and then a beam of chaos magic struck the vines that were constantly waving and striking in an attempt to break through their defense boundaries.

However, Achilles showed a loving smile and said:

"Don't cry. This is the last lesson I will teach you. From now on, you will no longer have tears. You will only become an iron-blooded king."

He did not look at Huidun again, but turned to the Earl Knight Commander Torre beside him and said "Get ready", and then he began to chant an extremely obscure, dark and terrifying spell.

As the spell was recited, his old body began to emit a red light. However, only those around him could see that the so-called red light was the blood evaporating from his body.

………………

At this time, in the camp outside the Nanmu Forest, after three days of simple training, Ishabel had already passed on the troubles encountered in hunting outside the forest and some solutions.

Of course, what she taught them were just some basic common sense, but the real problems encountered in hunting still had to be solved by themselves.

The hunting trip that is about to begin, and the results of this hunting trip will also affect their future studies.

The most important reason why the academy trains them is to cultivate magicians who can truly fight and use them to enrich the strength of the kingdom.

Naturally, this hunting activity close to actual combat can test whether they have combat talent or not. Students without talent can switch to other paths such as potions while they are still young.

The academy did not give up on some students who had not yet successfully engraved the magic pattern corridor.

Instead, they were each given a number of magic crystals and materials for engraving magic patterns in the past few days. They would need to use the magic crystals they had engraved to deal with problems during the hunting process.

Then the two teachers announced the start of the ten-day hunt.

Most of these little ones are children of the nobles here, and some are the first in line of heirs.

He had been educated in combat since childhood, because the main force of the kingdom's foreign wars was still the army assembled by small nobles like them.

Chen Cheng looked at these pampered little guys holding the bows and arrows in their hands, with an excited look on their faces as if they had easily caught them, but he kept shaking his head in his heart.

He has lived in these mountains and forests for countless years. Given their age and strength, even if they were given a bow and arrow engraved with magic patterns, it would be of no use if they encountered magical beasts.

Fortunately, the academy did not prohibit the servants from following along this time.

Chen Cheng also saw the reason for offering this hunting course, which was to test students' awareness of crises and their own strength, as well as their ability to deal with danger.

However, the so-called hunting points are not that important.

Because no noble would become a hunter when they grow up. They belong to the ruling class of this world, and they learn magic to gain power in order to better rule the talented people under them.

The practical skills they need to master are to deal with problems calmly, objectively and effectively.

Chen Cheng also took an ordinary bow and arrow, but the iron sword on his waist was enough.

After Isabel announced the disbandment, Coles was carried away by his own servant and disappeared.

The other students also formed teams with the descendants of viscounts and barons who were close to them and familiar to them.

However, only Finier's place seemed quite deserted, with only Chen Cheng and her.

This is also because of the special nature of Finier's noble status.

Her father's status as a second-class baron is somewhat related to Chen Cheng.

Fifteen years ago, the year when Chen Cheng was born in this life, the identity of Chen Cheng's father in this life was exposed, causing alarm in all kingdoms of the human world.

The entire continent responded with calls for punishment against the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The Kingdom of Como was naturally also one of the voices calling for the crusade.

By the time the news came back that the remnants of the previous dynasty had been wiped out by the Kingdom of Kermo, all the kingdoms on the entire continent were in a frenzy.

It was at this time that Kekeber used money to pave the way and got in touch with the prime minister of the time, Homeis. He almost spent all his savings to buy the title of baron. Overnight, his social status changed from a lowly businessman to a high-ranking aristocrat.

Naturally, he was not the only such nobleman. There were many people who took advantage of this opportunity to spend money to switch from business to richer status. Even some of the noble children here obtained their status in this way.

But no one knew what was wrong with Baron Kekeber. He was originally a merchant who became a nobleman, but he actually began to distance himself from those merchant nobles.

Then, in order to integrate into the real aristocratic circle, he followed the traditional aristocrats to pretend to be cultured, but was then looked down upon by those old-fashioned aristocrats.

So this also leads to the fact that now Finier has almost no real good friends in the academy.

The reason why I use the word "almost" is because there is a special person in this class - Acasto.

This is a chubby little boy who usually smiles at people, but in fact, this guy has the potential to be a profiteer at a young age.

He had previously bought out the method of making glasses from Chen Cheng. It can be said that this business has made him a lot of money recently.

His father was also a very wealthy businessman, almost the richest man in the Kingdom of Como, but this rich man was different from other businessmen.

His wealth was enough for him to operate in the royal capital, and the prime minister in the court would be able to push him to the noble title of a third-class earl.

But these were not what he pursued. On the contrary, this wealthy man had an obsessive love for money, and he was also keen on making money, rather than yearning for a pretentious aristocratic life.

The money he made from his previous business with Chen Cheng also made him look good in front of his father.

So when this guy saw Chen Cheng and the other man were alone, he came to Chen Cheng happily.

"Hey my good brother Brown, why are you alone with this young lady? It just so happens that I don't have a team either, how about we form a team of three?"

This guy ran like a rolling ball of meat. Finier frowned when she saw his fat appearance.

Then, thinking of the large sum of gold coins that this guy had taken out as a reward, the young lady did not say much.

However, Chen Cheng really liked dealing with this guy. Perhaps it was his dishonest business behavior that made him see the shadow of his previous life. So when he knew that the gold coins this guy took out were not enough to equal his huge profits, he still sold the method of making glasses to him.

"Well, my profiteer friend, the great sales of the glasses should make your father very happy."

"Hey, Brown, don't say that. We have already agreed that we can't go back on our word after signing the contract. But if you have any other ideas for wonderful products, you can tell me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price this time."

Looking at the little fat boy's eyes shining when he talked about money, Chen Cheng shook his head speechlessly.

During this whole process, Chen Cheng did not see the kind of scene described in the novels of his previous life where someone would come up and step on them. After all, Finier was also the first heir to a baron.

Although they looked down on Finier's father, Finier did grow up in an aristocratic family, so there was no need for them to show off in front of her.
