Chapter 502 "Changing the Fate of the Future"
The four judges for this year's First Under Heaven Tournament have been decided. After the announcement, the four judges didn't cause any controversy.
For the Shrines' side, the judge will be an elder from the Shrines' elder council. Reportedly, this elder is a retired Paladin who was also a powerful fighter in his younger days. Of course, at Du Wei's age, it's only natural that he hasn't heard of this elder before. From this, it can be inferred that this guy is at most a level 7 or 8. Obviously, if he had the strength of a Saint, the Shrines would've already pushed him out as a banner. If he had the strength of a level 9, the Shrines wouldn't have sent out a few level 8 Knight to fill up the front.
As for the Royal Family, the judge sent out by Prince Son is the current chief warrior of the palace, a guy named Chick … … Du Wei actually knows this guy! Du Wei remembers when he first met Prince Son. At that time, this guy was Prince Son's personal guard and was said to be a formidable opponent of Captain Alpha of the Rowling family. Alpha was already a level 8 Knight at that time. To be able to become Alpha's opponent, this Chick's strength is naturally not to be underestimated. Moreover, Du Wei has personally seen this guy in action before.
When he first met Prince Son, the two went to the Gold Squandering Den outside the city. On the way back in the middle of the night, they were ambushed and assassinated by the Crown Prince. This Chick used his strength to kill many of the Crown Prince's subordinates. Obviously, this guy is one of Prince Son's direct subordinates.
Originally, the chief warrior of the palace was a guy named Grey Robe Sword Saint, but unfortunately, he was killed by Rodriguez on the day of the coup. As the saying goes, a new emperor brings in new subordinates. After Prince Son ascended the throne, the chief warrior of the palace was naturally replaced by one of his direct subordinates. Now, this Chick is already the chief guard of the palace.
According to Du Wei's inference, this guy most likely has the strength of a level 8 Knight, possibly even reaching level 9.
The third candidate is someone sent out by the Empire. Originally, this candidate should've been Du Wei, but due to Du Wei's participation in the competition, this candidate fell into the hands of Camisiro, who is also the new king of the rookies. Relatively speaking, Camisiro's Knight rank is the lowest, only level 6. Moreover, as the Vice Minister of Military Affairs, there won't be many things he has to do in the future.
The fourth candidate is naturally our Knight Association's President, "Level" Knight Knight Dylon!
After a meeting, the four judges had already discussed the basic rules of the competition.
In fact, it was very simple. In this kind of competition, the winner and loser were obvious most of the time. Only when some special circumstances occurred would a judge be needed to determine the winner and loser. The basic rules are nothing more than not allowing the use of poison, poisonous weapons, and despicable means to harm the opponent … … etc.
Of course, there is also an additional rule added at the end. In order to ensure the purity of the warriors in the competition, the contestants are not allowed to use any abilities other than martial arts! This rule is mainly to restrict the contestants who practice both magic and martial arts. But Du Wei knows that this rule is mainly used by the Shrines to restrict him.
Kami Siro and Du Wei met once, and the relationship between the two newcomer kings of the empire is still very good. On one hand, it's because the two have a good personal relationship. On the other hand, although they are both "newcomer kings", Kami Siro's influence is actually a level lower than Du Wei's. Both sides have no conflict of interest, so they can maintain a friendly relationship.
Camisiro made fun of Du Wei and jokingly asked him why he wants to participate in the competition. Is he really planning to practice martial arts and inherit the tradition of the Rollin family?
Du Wei smiled and casually changed the topic. In fact, as the Regent's confidant, Camisiro only knows that he can't let the Shrines take the limelight in this competition.
The current situation is not bad. At least among the four judges, Camisiro is Du Wei's friend and Chick is a direct descendant of Prince Son. They will definitely side with Du Wei. As for Delon … … Everything he eats, drinks, and spends is all Du Wei's money! If he doesn't listen to Du Wei, who else can he listen to?
The competition hasn't even started yet, but Du Wei has already dealt with the three judges! In such a competition, what is there for Du Wei to be afraid of?
In the following days, news came out from the Tulip Family Mansion. In order to prepare for the martial arts tournament, the Duke has decided to go into seclusion to practice his martial arts! He will be in his best condition to welcome the competition. Therefore, during this period of time, the Duke will not receive any guests, nor will he accept any invitations to banquets.
And that is exactly what Du-Wei did. Every day, he would spend most of his time inside the Duke's Mansion's training grounds. Inside, he would be diligently practicing the special martial skill of the "Flash Arrow of Ketu-Rahu": Moon Bow Dance!
This is a top martial art created by the God of the Elves! Although Du-Wei only learned the second half of the tune, but how powerful is a God level martial art? Plus, Du Wei has already practiced the Snow Mountain Body Technique and Star Dou Qi Body Technique to a very high level. In terms of physical fitness, it can be said that he doesn't lose to any ordinary expert. As long as he doesn't meet a Saint Rank expert, he is confident that he can deal with them.
As for a Saint Rank expert … would they even participate in this competition?
Of course, Du Wei is looking forward to seeing if the other mysterious Angel from the Shrines will participate in this competition … if that Angel really does participate, as long as Du Wei recognizes him … even if he has to resort to underhanded means, Du Wei will be able to find a way to put him in the same spot as the Angel!
When the time comes, if martial arts cannot deal with him, will Du Wei obediently refrain from using magic?
Du Wei has thought it through! Once he finds out who the Angel is, he will immediately go all out to kill him! What do you mean by using magic is against the rules? What a joke! If he can kill off an Angel, what's the big deal about giving up on the competition?
In addition to practicing the "Dance of the Moon Bow" at home, Du-Wei also specially drew a drawing. Using the shape of the "Flash Bow of Ketu-Rahu", Du-Wei ordered his men to forge an exact replica of the bow using steel and iron.
After all, the power of the Flash Arrow of Ketu-Rahu is simply too strong. If he were to use this artifact to perform the 'Moon Bow Dance', then the power would be too great and would cause a lot of unnecessary deaths.
The exact size and weight of this exact replica of the Flash Arrow of Ketu-Rahu is completely circular. Even the barbs and wind blades on the bow are exactly the same size.
Of course, in addition to his hard work, Du Wei also took out some time. He promised Prince Son that he would take advantage of his time in the imperial capital to take care of the education of the two children in the palace.
Instructing a future emperor … This kind of job gives me a sense of accomplishment!
•
The first time Du Wei gave a lesson to Prince Charlie and Princess Karina, he almost made a fool out of himself. When Prince Charlie and Princess Karina sat in front of the desk and anxiously watched the arrival of their youngest teacher, the two little guys were undoubtedly very excited – after all, Du Wei's fame is so great!
And children are usually very fond of worshipping heroes.
Therefore, little Prince Charlie excitedly asked: "Teacher, what will you teach us?"
"Know astronomy, know geography, be it ancient or modern, be it civil or military, whatever you want to learn, I can teach you!" Du Wei very arrogantly replied – he has this confidence. Compared to his previous world, the level of science and education in the Roland Continent is far behind – similar to the feudal era in Europe.
Therefore, Du Wei boasted.
In the end, little Charlie nodded his head: "Then let's learn arithmetic, teacher. Recently, my other teachers have been relying on me to solve some arithmetic problems. They said that it will be very useful for me to learn this in the future. "
Du Wei smiled very kindly. It's not that he hasn't taught students before – after all, the dozens of magic apprentices in the Decepticon Tiger Squad are all his disciples!
Therefore, after Du Wei wrote down a complete set of four operations for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, just as he was about to carefully test his two little disciples, Prince Charlie suddenly asked: "Teacher, let me ask you … … Why does one plus one equal two?"
Du Wei immediately broke out in cold sweat!
One plus one of course equals two! But why does it equal two … … How can Du Wei answer this question? In his previous life, he seems to have heard that this question is related to the "Goldbach's conjecture"! But in his previous life, Du Wei only went to an ordinary university … … Goldbach's conjecture, he can't solve it!! Chen Jingrun spent his whole life and still couldn't solve it. How can you expect Du Wei to solve it?
Looking at Du Wei's speechless appearance, the two children laughed mischievously – only then did Du Wei know that he was played!
After all, girls are gentle and considerate! Soon, Princess Karina took out the book that Du Wei gave her. She turned to one of the pages and pointed at a few paragraphs of dense notes written between the paragraphs – these were written by Du Wei himself.
The content of that page was an evaluation of some of the simplest history and natural overview of the mainland, and then used a positioning tone to make an evaluation. When Du-Wei first saw this kind of thing, his heart was quite moved, and he wrote a few lines:
"In fact, the simpler things are, the more difficult it is for us to give a deep answer. Our understanding is only on the surface. For example, we all know that there are four seasons in a year, but why are there four seasons in a year? We know that there is day and night every day, but why is there day and black smoke? Well, the church said that this was created by God … … Then why did God create this? Who can answer this? For example, children know that one plus one equals two … … But why does one plus one equal two? This question, even I don't know the answer! "
When little Karina read this paragraph, she was moved by these few words, and then she pondered for a long time. It had to be said that this girl was really a genius. At such a young age, she seemed to be able to vaguely grasp the thoughts that Du Wei had when he wrote these few words.
When the siblings were playing this prank, they did not ask Du Wei "why are there four seasons in a year?" Because in their view, although Du Wei did not say it clearly in the few sentences that he wrote, it was very likely that this teacher knew the answer! And this answer was definitely not "created by God" as other teachers had told them!
But even Du Wei himself admitted that he did not know why one plus one equals two, so the two children deliberately used this question to test Du Wei.
Du Wei was tricked by the two children in the first class, and he immediately threw away the airs of a teacher.
He thought for a moment. Anyway, he would not be in the imperial capital for too long, so he would not have much time to teach the two children. In such a short period of time, it was impossible to teach the two children a complete system of any subject. Anyway, they were taught by the best court scholars, and he was just a temporary worker. Since it was impossible to teach a complete system of teaching, it was better to just "cover it up"!
So Du Wei simply threw away the lessons that he had prepared for the whole day, and casually chatted with the two children.
They could talk about anything, astronomy, geography, and since ancient times, Du Wei did not ask for anything else. He only hoped that his way of thinking could affect the two children to the greatest extent.
Not for anything else, but Du Wei was confident that his way of thinking should be relatively advanced in this era. Furthermore, Prince Charlie was the future Emperor! After living in this world for eighteen years, Du Wei's feelings for this world had become deeper and deeper.
From the bottom of his heart, he also hoped that the future emperor would be a good emperor. If there was another muddle-headed old man like Augustine the Sixth, then this country would really be finished.
Because the time was too short, he could not teach them anything completely. Du Wei's main purpose was to instill a thought in the two children: Nothing is absolute!
He gave the two children an example: Everyone knows that wolves eat sheep. In almost all fairy tales, wolves are described as cunning, cruel, and greedy bad guys. However, if the wolf eats the sheep, the sheep is pitiful, but if the wolf does not eat the sheep … then the wolf itself will die!
Then what about the wolf? What can it do? It also has its own life, and it also has the desire to live.
This kind of truth, in the future world, even elementary school students know. But for this world, Prince Charlie and Princess Karina listened very seriously. Especially Princess Karina, after listening to the end, tears welled up in her eyes. The little girl sighed: "Alas, then when we go hunting in the future, I will definitely beg father not to shoot wolves."
"In fact, there is no right or wrong in this world, only different standpoints. The wolf wants to eat the sheep, but the sheep doesn't want to be eaten. Everyone is just trying to survive, there is no right or wrong. "
Du Wei said so.
Obviously, Du Wei's teaching had a great impact on the two children, especially when they were young!
In addition, the two little guys are very different. For example, Prince Charlie is a typical child of the Roland royal family. He is young, strong, energetic, and likes to move around. He likes to ride horses, hunt, and use swords. When he talks about history, he would always be interested in those battles. This is normal. Children of this age generally have little patience.
More importantly … … Prince Charlie's life is too peaceful! When Prince Son was as young as him, the reason he was enlightened early was because he was in danger. On the inside, there was Augustine the Sixth, a bastard father who treats his son as a competitor, and on the outside, there was the crown prince who always wants him dead!
And now, Prince Charlie is the only son of the regent! No one can compete with him!
In order to grind down this child's impatient temper, Du Wei thought hard for a day and finally decided to bring out the "chess" from his past life!
This kind of war chess is really to Prince Charlie's liking. After the little guy learned the rules, he couldn't stop cheering and dragging Du Wei to play for a full two hours. Although he was young and did not have the opportunity to experience a real war, he could still satisfy his craving by playing chess. Moreover, playing chess was good for tempering one's patience and bearing.
Little Princess Karina's interest in these things is average. She prefers to pester Du Wei to tell her stories. All kinds of stories … … Because Du Wei's stories are different from the stories told by the palace maids and other teachers! Completely different!
For example, the little match girl, Snow White, Peter Pan, and the daughter of the sea. There is also Du Wei's revised version of "Roland Continent's Journey to the West". In this version of Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor becomes the Shrines and the Pope becomes the Goddess of Light. And Sun Wukong is described by Du Wei as a rebellious Knight with a fighting spirit.
However, Du Wei is not a professional storyteller after all. No matter how hard he tries, the stories in his stomach are all emptied out day after day.
In the end, Duwei scratched his head and couldn't think of any other stories to tell … … He couldn't tell an eight year old girl about those YY novels on the internet in the 21st century!
Fortunately, Prince Son came to his rescue in the end: After all, compared to teaching the children, the Knight Association is more important. With the date of the competition approaching, the Regent gave Du Wei an order: Classes will be suspended! Let Du Wei prepare for this competition with all his strength.
Although he doesn't care about the revitalization of the Knight Association, but since the Shrines are also participating, the Regent still wants to take this opportunity to hit down the arrogance of the Shrines!
And so, more than a month of classes came to an end. At the end of the class, the two children were obviously reluctant to part with Du Wei. After all, Du Wei's classes are much more interesting than the boring education methods of those court scholars. Moreover, Du Wei's various whimsical ideas are also very much in line with the children's taste.
Before the end of the last class, Du Wei took out the two gifts he prepared. After a month, Du Wei has become very familiar with the two children. He sat on the chair while Prince Charlie and Princess Karina sat on Du Wei's lap. Du Wei took out the gifts and handed them to the two. He gave Prince Charlie a short magic wand! Although this magic wand is half shorter than the ones used by ordinary magicians, it is made of authentic walnut wood! On the magic wand is an expensive water orchid magic gem! It is very good to use it to cast water magic. Du Wei smiled at Prince Charlie and said, "Your Highness, you know very well that you won't become a magician in the future, but since you are interested in magic, you might as well read books in this area. Many things in magic are often not as beautiful as imagined. There are also many useful truths. Earth can restrain water, for example, water can restrain fire, fire can restrain metal … If you can understand these truths, it will be more meaningful than learning any real magic!"
And Du Wei's gift to Karina is a book called "The General History of the Continent". Of course, last time Du Wei gave her the first volume, this time he gave her the second volume! This is an old book, and there are also notes added by Du Wei in it.
In fact, compared to Charlie, Du Wei likes this smart and lovely little girl more. She is too smart! Astonishingly smart! In fact, Du Wei often feels that compared to Charlie, this little girl is the one who can accept his way of thinking the most.
If she is a boy … she will definitely become a great emperor!
Unfortunately … Du Wei sighed. He looked at Karina and sighed silently in his heart: It is a pity that you are a girl. Your future destiny is to become a princess, marry a noble, and live a peaceful and mediocre life …
"This is the second volume." Du Wei smiled and handed the book to Karina. "My dear little highness, you are still too young. There are many things in this book called" The General History of the Continent "that are not suitable for your age! Therefore, I will temporarily give you the second volume … the whole set has a total of ten volumes! From now on, I will give you one volume every year on your birthday. En, you are eight years old this year, so there are still eight volumes left. In other words, until your sixteenth birthday! You will be able to get all ten volumes, right? "
After saying that, Du Wei kissed Karina's face and patted her head with a smile.
"Teacher, are you going to leave?" Karina tightly clenched the old book in her hand and whispered, "Are you going to leave the imperial capital?"
Du Wei smiled. "No, I will not leave for the time being. However, I may not have time to teach you. I still have a lot of things to do … en, if there is a chance, I will come to the imperial palace to see you. "
After saying that, Du Wei released the two children. He stood up and saluted the two children.
Before leaving, he looked at Charlie and said with a smile, "Charlie! Quickly grow up! I promise you, when you are fifteen years old, I will give you the best horse in the continent! It will definitely be the best in the continent! "
Watching Du Wei walk out of the imperial palace, Prince Charlie's face was filled with deep disappointment – he knew that starting tomorrow, he would have to face that group of white-bearded old court scholars.
He glanced at his sister and saw that Karina had turned around and was sitting on a chair, calmly reading the book Du Wei gave her.
"Karina, don't you feel sad that teacher is leaving?" Prince Charlie frowned as he looked at his sister.
"Why should I feel sad?" Karina raised her head and blinked. Despite her young age, her tone seemed to have a trace of calmness. "Teacher is one of the most important ministers of the empire and also the smartest person in the continent! A talent like him should not spend so much time with us two children – he should have a lot of more important things to do! To be able to have him teach us for a month, I already feel very happy and satisfied. "
Prince Charlie was stunned for a moment. His wisdom could not keep up with Karina's, but he was still a child after all. He quickly recovered from his depressed mood and took the magic wand left by Du Wei, happily running out to show off to the court magicians who were protecting him.
As for Karina, she quietly leaned against the chair and naturally found the most comfortable position to curl up. With a calm face, she quietly flipped through the book left behind by Du-Wei, "General History of the Continent – Volume 2" …
Du Wei did not know that this one month of education was not simply to accompany the children to play … this one month of education, in the days to come, would affect the fate of the empire!
Interestingly, in Du Wei's previous life, he would often read some extremely vulgar sentences like "the wheel of history is turning" in novels, which would often cause him to curse out in dissatisfaction.
But this time … he personally pushed the wheel of history and even inadvertently changed the trajectory of the wheel! However, he himself … was still completely unaware of all of this …
•
As the days passed, the new year was approaching.
Caravans from the south and the north came from the imperial capital, bringing new and interesting goods from all over the continent, satisfying the preparations of the people of all classes in the empire to welcome the new year. At the same time, in order to welcome the new year, orders came from the imperial palace and countless people were mobilized to decorate the imperial capital.
And at the same time … the day of the "First Under Heaven Tournament" had finally arrived!
