In the courtyard, Reyaz reunited with his mother and told her everything that had happened recently.
Reyaz had many questions in his heart. He did not dare to tell others, but since it was his mother, he did not have to worry.
"… Mother, what is the truth about father? Did father really treat me well back then? "Reyaz finally asked his mother.
Kaiya had been listening calmly the entire time.
Only now did she reach out and stroke Reyaz's face, "Mother will find a way to find out the truth … Reyaz, before that, you just need to protect yourself."
"But … I've now become the prince of Underwater City for no reason!" Reyaz stood up excitedly.
Kaiya looked at him and signaled for him to calm down.
She pressed her hands on Reyaz's shoulders and said softly, "Reyaz, do you still remember what I said when I left you a message last time?"
Reyaz nodded and subconsciously said, "You said it was inconvenient for you to answer phone calls in the camp. You said you would find a way to deal with father."
Kaiya shook her head, "I told you to take good care of yourself."
"Mother?"
Kaiya said seriously, "Listen, Reyaz. Only if you can take good care of yourself can I be at ease. Since the emperor wants you to be the successor, then you should use this identity well … Learn whatever he wants you to learn, be it knowledge or skills. Don't lose interest in these things just because they're boring. Sooner or later, you'll be able to use them. "
"That big brother … said something similar," Reyaz subconsciously said.
"Are you talking about the two who live here with you?" Kaiya asked thoughtfully.
Reyaz nodded.
At this moment, Kai Ya sucked in a deep breath and said, "Alright, Reyaz. His majesty has allowed me to see you. You know that I'm a soldier of the underwater city. I can't leave my post as I please. This is the responsibility of an adult."
"I understand," Reyaz nodded heavily.
"Remember what I said," Kaiya hugged Reyaz in the end, "You just need to take good care of yourself. Only then can I be at ease."
"Mother!" At this moment, Reyaz suddenly said, "Say, can I request His Majesty to let you meet with my father? I feel like His Majesty might agree. "
"I've already met your father." Kai Ya did not look into Reyaz's eyes. "But he can't come to see you now … and you, don't ask about your father."
"Why is that?!"
"He has more important things to do at the moment." Kai Ya said slowly, "During this time, he can't be distracted … Reyaz, don't you trust me?"
Reyaz could only shake his head, but he had doubts in his heart … But in the end, he chose to believe it and buried his doubts.
"Remember, remember what I said just now. Remember to take good care of yourself. Learn whatever the people in the palace teach you." Kai Ya exhorted, "You have to imagine yourself as a sponge, absorbing as much water as possible."
"Okay!" Reyaz nodded, then asked, "Mother, when can I see you again?"
"I will come and find you."
…
The reunion between mother and son did not last very long … Very soon, Kai Ya and Reyaz left the room where they met alone and appeared in front of the hall in the courtyard.
The emperor and Boss Luo were leisurely enjoying the black tea that the maid had brewed. Of course, Professor Kim Kailun and the young Kong Hai also had a share, but the professor seemed to be rather absent-minded.
The girl, Riku Ge, was not here either … Ever since they left the library, she had not been seen.
"Your Majesty." Kai Ya led Reyaz out and bowed in front of Louis XXXIX first.
Reyaz could only imitate his mother. Come to think of it, this was the first time he had used such formal etiquette to face the emperor of Underwater City.
"I hope this meeting can put you at ease," the emperor smiled. "Madam Kai Ya, if you want, you can come and visit Reyaz at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Kai Ya said calmly. Kai Ya said calmly, "But I'm a soldier of the underwater city. I can't just leave my post."
"I'm truly happy that the army has such a responsible soldier like you, madam Kai Ya." The emperor smiled. Afterwards, he pointed at Professor Kim Kailun to the side and said, "This is one of the most renowned scholars in Underwater City. He has also been Reyaz's teacher recently. Madam Kai Ya, the professor wishes to have a simple chat with you. "
Professor Kim Kailun immediately looked at Kai Ya.
"There's no need," Kai Ya said indifferently. "I've heard of Professor Kim Kailun's name. It's Reyaz's fortune to be able to receive a lecture from you. As his mother, I have nothing to say. I'll leave Reyaz to you, professor. He's naughty and mischievous, but he's not a bad person. "
Professor Kim Kailun nodded without batting an eyelid. "Don't worry, madam Kai Ya. I will do my best."
"Then, your majesty, please allow me to return to camp." Kai Ya performed a military salute in front of the emperor now.
"Go." The emperor waved his hand with a smile.
Professor Kim Kailun suddenly said at this moment, "Your majesty, madam Riku Ge will be teaching in the afternoon. I'll return first and prepare for tomorrow's lecture."
"Please go ahead, professor," the emperor agreed.
Before long, the hall became slightly emptier. However, Reyaz seemed to be in much better spirits after seeing his mother.
"I'll have lunch here." The emperor smiled, "It'll be livelier with more people."
The servant girl did not say anything. She only nodded and left her seat, walking towards the kitchen. Over the past few days, the servant girl had been in charge of the meals in Tian Chen Courtyard. The servants of the palace had nothing to do.
Taking advantage of this, Reyaz went to Louis XXXIX. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your majesty, I agree to that woman's morning exercise!"
The emperor did not mind at all, "You can talk to her about this yourself. Do you not even have the courage to become a qualified emperor?"
"Alright." Reyaz was helpless. He thought about it and said, "But as for the matter of being the successor, I … I hope I can think about it. I hope you can think it through, your majesty."
"I've been thinking about it since you were born." The emperor smiled, "Since I allowed you to come here, I've naturally thought it through. Don't mention this matter again."
Reyaz opened his mouth and looked helpless. He could only make an excuse, "I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to rest. I won't be eating lunch, but I'll be back for the afternoon class."
The emperor did not mind this and allowed Reyaz to go upstairs. Only then did he look at Boss Luo and say, "There should be some time before lunch. Do you want to play a game of chess with me? I saw a chessboard outside the corridor."
Boss Luo agreed.
When he rearranged the chessboard, the emperor suddenly asked, "By the way, when did this Titan civilisation appear? Before us? "
"In another era."
"That's not a useful answer." The emperor shook his head but did not pursue the matter. Now that the chessboard was set, the emperor made the first move without asking any questions.
…
…
Only when they were about to leave the palace did Professor Kim Kailun quickly catch up with Kai Ya.
"Madam Kai Ya, please wait," Professor Kim Kailun called out softly, "Madam, how did you come to the palace?"
"Of course it's because of His Majesty's summons," Madam Kai Ya said expressionlessly, "Professor, is there anything else?"
A hint of doubt flashed through Professor Kim Kailun's eyes before he shook his head.
Kai Ya directly boarded the Serpent provided by the palace. She did not stop at all. Looking at the Serpent that was gradually disappearing, Professor Kim Kailun could not help but frown even more.
"What exactly happened?" The young Kong Hai went up and asked softly.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
On the way back, Professor Kim Kailun calmly returned to his residence. The guards who had escorted him back to the palace had already left.
After the professor entered the door, as usual, he went to the garden to water, read for a while, and then took a nap … It was almost four o 'clock in the afternoon before he woke up and continued to work in the study.
After having dinner with Kong Hai, he and Kong Hai took a walk on the street as usual. At nine o 'clock in the evening, the professor and Kong Hai met with a friend at a teahouse to discuss academic issues.
They returned home at eleven at night and took a bath. Just as they were about to return to their room, the professor bumped into Kong Hai in the corridor and whispered to him.
"The stronghold has been destroyed by the military. I wonder how many of them escaped. Kai Ya should be the real one. She's not a random impersonator."
"She didn't say anything to you."
"Perhaps she's being watched as well," the professor said quickly. "You don't have to go to the palace with me tomorrow. Go take a look. Be careful."
Kong Hai nodded. Afterwards, he took out a folded piece of paper. "The route. I drew it in the past few days."
Professor Kim Kailun returned to his room and did not sleep for the entire night.
…
…
The next morning, Professor Kim Kailun dressed up early and boarded the Serpent that had come to pick him up. He entered Tian Chen Courtyard.
What surprised the professor was that Reyaz was unusually serious in class today. His intuition made him feel like he was a different person.
"Why didn't I see Mr. Kong Hai today?" Boss Luo asked curiously during the break.
"Oh, I asked him to find me some information, so he didn't come today," the professor replied casually.
Boss Luo asked, "Professor, do you know a scholar named Leeds in the Lemurian era?"
Professor Kim Kailun was startled. Of course he knew about Leeds. He had a job on hand to compile the biographies of this famous scholar from the Lemurian civilization named Leeds.
"How do you know about [Leeds]?"
Boss Luo smiled and said, "Yesterday, when I was in the library, I saw one of his works on astronomy. I found it interesting, so I wanted to know more about it."
Professor Kim Kailun thought for a moment and said, "Leeds, a thinker and astronomer of the Lemurian era. He was also one of the last seven great sages of the Lemurian civilization before the age of the underwater city … What do you want to know?"
"It's in this book." Boss Luo raised the book that Miss Maid borrowed from the library yesterday, turned to a page, and said slowly, "It mentioned a place called the land of reincarnation, the end of death. I wonder if the classroom knows about this land of reincarnation? "
Professor Kim Kailun took the book and quickly glanced at the front and back pages. Then he fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "According to my research over the years, after this book was published at that time, it caused a great sensation. Especially the matter of the land of death, it even attracted the attention of the government at that time. They also sent people to investigate. "
"Is there a conclusion? This book doesn't have much explanation."
The professor shook his head and said, "No, I can't find any information about that exploration. The collection in the royal library is the essence of the previous era. It's really valuable knowledge. Since there is no record of this so-called land of reincarnation, the government at that time obviously didn't think it was important. Why are you interested in this matter? "
Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "I just think it's interesting."
"Interesting?"
Boss Luo said, "If life can be reincarnated … What do you want to do, professor?"
Professor Kim Kailun instantly opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But when the words came to his mouth, he realized that he didn't seem to have thought about what he wanted to do.
"I've never thought about this problem." Professor Kim Kailun couldn't help but shake his head. "Besides, if life can really be reincarnated, the Lemurian civilization may not have gone to the point of extinction. It must have prohibited the erosion of the Lemurians' bodies before the start of the Magic Era. Naturally, there wouldn't be the underwater city now, and you and I wouldn't be here discussing this problem, right?"
"Indeed." Boss Luo nodded, then put away the book … The recess just ended.
At this time, Reyaz came back with a pile of books. Professor Kim Kailun glanced at them and found that most of these books were books about the structure of the human body, the foundation of movement, and fighting techniques.
"Why are you looking at these books?"
Reyaz said unhappily, "Of course it's to give Liuge a good beating!"
Oh, this child seems to have another layer of gauze wrapped around her today.
Professor Kim Kailun shook his head and directly put away the miscellaneous books.
Then he looked at Boss Luo and said, "In the library, there are many books about the Great Sage [Leeds]. If you are interested, go look for them … But don't expect too much. This Great Sage did indeed have many irreplaceable contributions to the Lemurian civilization, but in his later years, most of his theories were basically unfounded and pure fantasy. "
"Since it's fantasy, why do you still want to study the deeds of this Great Sage?"
"I said that fantasy only happened in the later years of the Great Sage [Leeds]. In the first half of his life, he still had many contributions and even the deeds of influencing the decisions of the government at that time. Of course, it's worth studying." Professor Kim Kailun said unhappily, "Besides, we are in the field of history. How can we deny all of a person's achievements just because of his mistakes in history? If you ask this, aren't you afraid that the road will be too narrow? "
"That's true." Boss Luo smiled casually.
Professor Kim Kailun suddenly frowned, took out a book from the books he brought, and threw it in front of Boss Luo. "Young man, you have to be down-to-earth, don't bite off more than you can chew … Learn more about the basics. Read this general history of Undersea City first, then think about the Lemurian era! "
The maid next to him suddenly picked up a pen at this time and wrote something in a small notebook.
Probably thinking like this.
If one day this professor also became a customer, then this small notebook would be useful … Maybe.
