Chapter 425 Instructions
After the part-time job was settled, Aldrich sat Kevin down and began to tell 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 do you mean?"
There was a hint of caution on Aldrich's face, "About the issue of His Majesty the Emperor'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 archives are also part of the royal architecture, so they will inevitably fall into these disputes, but as long as you don't take the initiative to explore these things, don't go If you ask questions, you won't get into any trouble."
"I will definitely 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, just do what the teacher said and there will be no problem. You are a foreigner and you still have 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?
He didn't know why, but he became curious for a moment and blurted out: "Teacher, who do you support?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I had made a mistake. The teacher had just told me 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 the room is full of my own people, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Of course I support my student Antonio." , and our entire Maester Tower supports him. , this is not a secret, the whole empire knows this. So, as a member of the Bachelor's Tower, others will assume that you are Antonio's supporter when you walk outside, but if you take the initiative to ask this and that. , you will definitely get yourself into trouble, so I just gave you this special instruction today.”
Kevin nodded repeatedly. In the past few years, he has also understood what kind of existence the Bachelor's Tower is in the Gabeela Empire. To describe it in one sentence, it is a tree with deep roots. No wonder he dares to openly support the second prince, even if he is on the wrong team. The new emperor will not use the people in the bachelor's tower to establish his authority. At most, he will reduce 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 just because of your status as a member of the Bachelor’s Tower.”
"I will definitely remember your instructions." Kevin solemnly saluted his mentor.
"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 only by handing the empire to His Highness Antonio can Gabeira... no, the entire human civilization have a future. ”
Um? 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. "
It’s hard to predict the outcome, Kevin complained in his heart, and after backing up Felix, Antonio’s conditions were too bad, not to mention the rumors that he had a very disgraceful origin—the child of 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, said goodbye to Senior Mond and left.
…
After sending Kevin away, Mond returned to the teacher's study.
"How's it going?" Aldrich 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 he joins our plan, he will definitely grow into a good helper, but he is still so young, and I can't bear to pull him after all. Get into the water."
Mond laughed, "Why did you drag him into the water? You said it so harshly. Teacher, we are here for the future of human civilization."
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know that MacDonald and Alves are coming back?"
"Oh!" Mond responded, but his heart was filled with waves.
Marshal McDonald is a big shot in the military of the Gabela Empire. He once participated in the war against the Nesta Empire with His Royal Highness Antonio. After the victory, His Royal Highness Antonio returned first, while the old marshal stayed at the border temporarily.
McDonald has never expressed any inclination about the competition between the two princes. I don’t know what variables his return will add this time. After all, his influence in the army is too great.

As for Alvis, he is another important senior official in the Bachelor’s Tower. He is a few years younger than Aldridge and is considered his junior. Because Alvis is good at military strategy, he was sent to the border to help Antonio and McDonald after the war. After the truce, he was responsible for presiding over the negotiations with the Nesta Empire and stayed at the border. This time he came back with McDonald.
"I don't know if Alvis has persuaded McDonald. This old guy has always been known for being old-fashioned."
Aldridge stroked his beard, with a trace of worry between his eyebrows.
Mond comforted his mentor: "With His Highness Antonio's outstanding performance in this war, he must have left a deep impression on the old marshal."
"Well, I think so." Aldridge agreed with his student.
Even if he can't be pulled to the side of the second prince, at least the old marshal must remain neutral and must not be allowed to support the eldest prince Felix.
I would like to say sorry to everyone here. I am really sorry for delaying it for so long.
I originally planned to update last week, but after watching the movie "Legend of the White Snake: Love", I was addicted to watching Cantonese opera.
It's amazing. I don't understand it very well, but I am deeply involved in it. I watch all kinds of things as soon as I open my mobile phone and computer. This is probably the charm of traditional culture.
I recommend everyone to watch "The Legend of White Snake", which is really a conscientious work. It's a pity that there are so few screenings, especially Guangzhou, which should have been the main force of the box office, happened to encounter the epidemic during the release period. It's really hard to describe.
