Doomsday Code

"Okay, kids, we should go home. Otherwise, if Adolf, that mean old man, keeps watching me for too long, he'll start talking about me in the academy again."

"It just so happens that the Earl has prepared a banquet for me. You little guys should come with me to take a look."

Penbes's somewhat vulgar words made some of the noble children feel uncomfortable, but thinking of his current strength and the Earl's attention to him, these guys who had received aristocratic education since childhood all smiled on the surface.

And Penbes also knew that his character made these self-righteous guys despise him, but who knew whether he, a platinum-level strong man, took them seriously in his heart.

They behaved unruly in front of them because they were all ants in Penbes's eyes, but he did not treat ants in a condescending manner like other strong men.

In his mind, ants are just air. Who would pretend to be anything in front of air?

Then the bald old man Peng Beisi actually took Chen Cheng and a group of young students to the banquet.

While in the Earl's castle, when everyone was already drunk, they saw Penbes really coming here with a group of students.

These noble lords laughed when they saw this, and Huidun also felt that this professor was really out of touch.

However, Huidun quickly adjusted his expression, smiled happily and stepped forward to greet him:

"I'm so sorry, I can replace it right away if necessary."

Huidun's tone no longer had the humility it had before. After all, he was still an earl, and Penbes's previous behavior was a big slap in his face.

However, Penbes did not care:

"Hey, what's new here? I see these foods haven't been touched, and the little ones I brought are enough to eat.

But you have to give me a few bottles of good wine, I like to drink wine."

As he said this, Peng Beisi laughed and patted Hui Dun on the shoulder.

In fact, what he hated the most were those people who were servile and fawning. The first reason he lost face to Huidun was that he didn't want to get involved in the royal family's affairs, and also because Huidun, the Earl, actually came all the way to the city gate to greet an old man like him.

In terms of subordinate relationship, he is a professor at Huidun College, but Huidun is the owner of Huidun Territory, so he is Huidun's subordinate. When he returns to the city, the first thing he should do is to visit Earl Huidun and explain to him the results of this academic exchange.

Just now, Huidun didn't give him any face. His words and deeds were neither soft nor hard, which stung him. He also knew the right measure and didn't offend him too much as he needed to recruit his subordinate.

And he still admired such an Earl. At least if he was allowed to ascend the throne, a sensible king would not lead the entire kingdom into the abyss.

At this time, Chen Cheng, who was following the crowd, did not care about the intrigues among the people inside. He stood at the entrance of the banquet and stared at the guards at the door.

The armors worn by these guards and the swords at their waists are all magic weapons. Chen Cheng recently started to study these magic weapons because he had problems with the magic patterns in his body.

At this moment, he was observing these armors, and while watching, he would occasionally utter a few professional magic terms.

This is also the magic weapon he has come into contact with recently, and these professional magic terms are also compared with the magic patterns on this armor.

Soon his strange behavior attracted the attention of others.

After all, this was the first time for them to see someone looking at the magic armor on the guards and uttering professional terms.

I don't know whose son this is. Once I know his identity, I can mock his father. His family is so poor that they need to run to the guards at the banquet to learn from him.

But when those who paid attention to him saw the collar around his neck, they showed contempt.

The look in his eyes was as if he was expecting some treasure, but what he actually took out was a lump.

Some people who paid more attention to the outside world thought about who the slaves were who could wear the school uniforms. Then these people showed not only contempt, but also a sense of regret.

At this time, Finier came to his side, stretched out her hand and pulled him, saying:

"Brown, what are you doing? Don't you know this is a noble banquet?"

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded:

"I know about the banquet, but there are too many rules and you can't eat enough. I was just looking at the magic engravings on the guard's armor. This is the first time I've seen a magic weapon that I can understand."

However, Finier rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Okay, stop doing this weird thing. If you really want to see the real thing, I can write a letter to my father and ask him to send some low-level magic weapons. Now just stay with me."

However, Chen Cheng showed a look of being unsatisfied, because he just discovered that although this armor was made according to the book and was very conventional, due to the size of the armor, the magic on it actually still had a lot of room for improvement.

Of course, this is just his guess, and he would have to experiment before he could actually do it.

While the master and servant were talking, Chen Cheng soon attracted people's attention because of his talented master.

Seeing so many students coming, Huidun also wanted to meet Finier, whom he had only seen briefly before.

When his eyes turned to Finier, Huidun discovered Chen Cheng standing next to Finier.

When he saw Chen Cheng, he remembered what happened in the tent in the camp that day. This little slave said a bunch of incomprehensible words in front of him in such a careless manner, and also began to comfort himself inexplicably.

Huidun felt funny when he thought of this.

When Peng Beis saw Huidun looking at Finier and Chen Cheng, and a smile appeared on Huidun's face, he was also a little confused.

At this time, Chen Cheng was explaining to Finier the magic on the armor she had just seen, and then he told Finier about his improvement plan based on the actual object.

"Let me tell you, although the basic magic above is engraved in a standard way, the person who engraved it was too concerned about balance, and the links between the various magics are not consistent, so there will be a sense of blockage when the warrior uses it..."

Finier, who seemed indifferent at first, became interested after listening to a passage. After all, she was a genius girl who had entered the sea of magic on her own. Naturally, she had an extraordinary understanding of magic and was fascinated by it immediately.

Then, when Huidun and Pengbeis walked up to the two of them, they heard the two little guys having a discussion about the magic armor on the guards.

At this time, Peng Beis felt a little sorry when he saw this, because this was a banquet after all.

Although he can ignore the rules, it is because he has the ability and the people here will not do anything to him.

But these two little guys are nothing, and the owners here have come, but the two little guys don’t even know to stop and say hello.

After hearing Peng Beis cough a few times, the two little guys finally came back to their senses. Then Chen Cheng looked up and saw that extremely familiar face.

After seeing Chen Cheng's entire face at this time, Huidun confirmed that he was not mistaken.

This talkative little slave was indeed the little slave he saw in the tent in the camp a few days ago.

And looking at the two of them, this little slave might be the servant of the daughter of the Kekebo family. However, seeing the equal communication between the master and the servant, Huidun also knew why Chen Cheng had such courage in facing him.

If it were before, he might have scolded Chen Cheng and punished him, but after what happened last time, he began to admire Chen Cheng a little.

Then, a cry of surprise was heard in the banquet hall where people were just whispering:

"It turns out to be you."

Chen Cheng's exclamation attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.

While these noble lords were getting angry, Penbes and Huidun took the lead in apologizing to everyone, and then Huidun invited several people to his reception room.

After seeing Huidun and a few others leave, the banquet hall returned to its previous cheerful atmosphere.

At this time, Coles, who had been paying attention to this side, was also a little curious. He didn't know why Huidun didn't deal with Chen Cheng just now, but it didn't matter anymore.

At this moment, he was holding a crystal photo-taking piece in his hand, which contained all the photos he had secretly taken of Chen Cheng and Melinda's unintentional intimate contacts over the past few days, and many of them were deliberately taken by him from angles that would cause people to misunderstand.

To be honest, with his photography skills, it would be a shame if he didn't come to modern times to be a paparazzi.

God really helps me in this banquet. Let’s see what you, a damn lowly slave, will do this time.

Coles thought hatefully in his heart, and then sneaked out of the banquet hall. He wanted to give the photo crystal to the Earl so that he could see him for the first time after the banquet.

In the reception room, the servant Tru brought in tea and set it aside, and Huidun invited everyone to take a seat.

After sitting down, Chen Cheng said excitedly:

"I didn't expect that the person I saw last time was you. Please don't take offense at what I said to you last time."

Perhaps because he was not blamed for his unintentional words last time, this time when Chen Cheng knew his identity, he still spoke to him in the same careless manner.

But Huidun also smiled and said:

"I don't even know your name."

Perhaps it was some kind of mysterious connection that Huidun was able to accept everything Chen Cheng said last time.

This time when he met Chen Cheng and saw that he was just a slave, he actually didn't want Chen Cheng to behave like a slave in front of him.

"Oh, name, just call me Brown."

Chen Cheng said his original name in this world.

Huidun nodded, then looked at Fini beside Chen Cheng and said with a smile:

"This lady should be our genius student Miss Finnel. The situation last time was special, so please don't be surprised, as a genius student. It just so happens that you are here today. You haven't applied for the magic wand awarded to you last time, so today I will give it to you in front of all the guests."

And Finier thanked her very politely.

The main reason why Huidun invited several people to the reception room this time was Peng Beis.

"Professor Penbes, my mentor Achilles has passed away in the last incident. I hope you can be my next magic teacher."

Huidun's words were quite straightforward, because the power around him at this moment was really too empty, and he also saw from what happened today that Professor Peng Beis was really as straightforward as the outside world said.

So he didn't want to beat around the bush with Penbes, otherwise the old professor might not understand the meaning of his words.

What Huidun didn't expect was that Pengbeis had been waiting for him to say this for a long time.

When he returned to the academy, Dean Adolf had already sent him a message, hoping that he could help Huidun, but he did not agree at that time.

But later Huidun's attitude towards him made him realize that Huidun was different from other princes, and he would fight back.

He had also seen other princes in the royal capital over the past six months. Those princes always looked servile when facing a strong man like him, and dared not express their anger even if they were angry.

However, Huidun seized the opportunity and fought back in a measured way, and this was the reason why he admired him.

When Pompeius heard about Achilles' death, he was also sad. Then, when he heard that the Earl's magic course had not yet been completed, he nodded and said:

"Of course, that's no problem. You can come to the academy to register tomorrow, Lord Earl. I'll be waiting for you there."
