The next day, Elena got her wish and went to the Royal City of Skarre with Lu Cheng for a "trip", but Elena's plan to go out alone with Lu Cheng fell through.
Because Lu Cheng received a petition from the Shadow Sage in the morning, she hoped to take Mishu and the child's father to sit down and have a good talk.
Mishu should have informed the Shadow Sage that Emperor Peisif was also in Skare.
Judging from the previous family situation, even though the Shadow Sage is a sage of the Secret Society, he cannot resist Persif, the Emperor of the Far South.
But now Persif is not in the Far South...
Before agreeing to the Shadow Sage's request, Lu Cheng directly contacted Feng Zheng by phone to inquire about Emperor Peisif's recent situation.
"Captain, do you believe in the word enlightenment?" Feng Kite's first words made Lu Cheng a little confused.
"Have you suddenly realized that you want to become a monk?" Lu Cheng asked.
"What if my sudden realization is to get married?" Feng Zheng said speechlessly.
"I'm the first person to complain about himself. Okay... What did Teacher Peisifu suddenly realize? Has he studied Buddhism during this period?" Lu Cheng led the conversation to the main topic.
“I haven’t seen him read Buddhism, but I have seen him read Selected Works of Mao Zedong!”
"???"
"I mean he's been living a peaceful life lately." Feng Kite was looking for a way to describe Emperor Persif's recent lifestyle. "Captain, didn't you tell me to be careful of his actions? Although he seems willing to be a teacher, he is essentially a ruthless emperor. But these past few days I haven't seen him trying to make any dirty money. Instead, he's learning Chinese with Tiehuan, and after each class he spends a lot of time in the library of the National Primary School."
"This is the spirit of Pid I. However, it is normal for him to learn from us. The key is whether his attitude towards us or his personal thoughts have changed."
When Lu Cheng asked this question, he was actually quite unsure, because Emperor Peisif had only been a teacher for a week after he woke up.
What changes can one week bring to a person
"I think so. He has been reading Selected Works of Mao Zedong recently, the original Chinese version." Feng Zheng said uncertainly, "He asked Tie Huan for help on the parts he couldn't understand. Do you think Comrade Peisif has been successfully transformed?"
"I think I understand."
After communicating with Feng Zheng, Lu Cheng hung up the phone. Standing in front of Lu Cheng was the Shadow Sage and Michel who was being examined by two soldiers.
Michel had changed into a military green coat. The climate in Scarre had recently entered spring, but the temperature was still not high, and Michel's clothes from the Far South were not warm at all.
"You can go meet Persif now, but... no buts, your meeting time is one hour. Remember, this meeting was not arranged by us, but you just happened to meet Persif."
This was the only thing Lu Cheng asked them to pay attention to, but it didn't really matter if they were exposed.
It is impossible for the Celestial Empire to let the emperor of the Far South go, and Persif is a smart man. Judging from the current situation in the Far South, even if he goes back, he will only be assassinated again.
Both Shadow Sage and Mishu agreed to Lu Cheng's request, so the off-road vehicle that originally only needed to seat two people was replaced with a bus.
The first stop of Elena's tour route to the Royal City of Skare today was changed from the castle to the Skare National Primary School.
"Skare is still under construction, there are not many entertainment facilities, it will take another year or two to develop." Lu Cheng stared at Elena who had been silent all the time and said, "How about we just go to the school together this time?"
After getting on the bus, Elena kept her eyes on Michel who was sitting next to her, which made Michel feel uncomfortable.
At first, Lu Cheng thought that it was because Michel had ruined Elena's travel plan that she was staring at someone else's princess.
Elena did not answer Lu Cheng, and Lu Cheng did not continue to ask. Although Lu Cheng was good at making girls happy, he did not like to do it deliberately.
But Elena was not unhappy now. What she was thinking in her mind was... the girl next to her really looked like a chicken leg.
The bus was stuck in this weird atmosphere, and finally it stopped in front of the gate of Skarre National Primary School.
This primary school, which was converted from two aristocratic manors, can definitely be described as luxurious just from the appearance. On the playground, one can see the four-winged black eagle flag of Scarre and the five-star red flag of the Celestial Empire.
It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning, so as soon as Lu Cheng entered the door, he saw a field full of primary school students doing the first set of radio gymnastics for primary and secondary school students in the country...
"Are you... holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony?"
The Shadow Sage was shocked by the huge scene on the playground. Nearly a thousand elementary school students were doing the same movements that were not very uniform.
The sage could only think of some horrible priest ritual... The music played on the playground radio was also quite weird, at least to the Shadow Sage.
"I'm just doing morning exercises for the purpose of exercising my body." When Lu Cheng was in elementary school, he thought that morning exercises were useless at all.
But this is only if you don't do it seriously. If you really do it seriously for a period of time, you can clearly feel the changes in your body.
"Exercise...the body?" The Shadow Sage was very unfamiliar with the word exercise.
Whether in the Secret Society or other countries in this world, children around ten years old simply don't have the time to spend their energy on such boring things. Children from farming families need to follow their parents in the fields, and even higher-level aristocratic families... who would pay special attention to their own health.
"Skare is now promoting motivational education. If parents send their children to school, they can receive rewards every once in a while. Their childhood should not be spent in the mud of farmland or in street fights. Learning enough knowledge and establishing correct life ideas in school will be of great help to the future development of Skare."
Lu Cheng explained while leading everyone into the teaching building.
China's compulsory education is completely impractical in Skare. Neither the native residents of Skare nor the immigrants from the far south are willing to hand over their children to a stranger. Only by giving these irresponsible parents some rewards will they be willing to send their children to school.
"Aren't you afraid that they will break free from your control after they know more?" Princess Mithrou looked at the famous quotes in the corridor, such as "Freedom is gained through knowledge" and "Books are the ladder of human progress", and couldn't help but ask Lu Cheng.
"We have never controlled them, so how can we break free?" Lu Cheng responded with a smile.
