"For most of my life, I have experienced many hardships. I was framed, poisoned and disabled, and my family was broken up... But for me, it made me understand myself more clearly. Only machines cannot live up to their expectations... "
Tust did not talk about his old feud with Brendan, but instead talked about some of his own views on machinery.
He continued: "I once had a dream, that is, I hope that one day the college can become a purely academic field of mechanics. Now, this dream has come true. Our Lord Ren of Black Dragon City has created a great city. And Black Dragon College is the pure academic field in my ideal... I can guarantee that if you classmates or tutors are willing to come to Black Dragon City in the future, you will get the fairest treatment, the purest academic environment, and the world's top mechanical technology. share... "
The recruitment advertisement hit me off guard.
Even Ren was surprised when he heard this.
It turns out that the old man is here to help Black Dragon City attract people
Omar Royal Academy has a large number of students and instructors with solid foundations. With a little training, these people will be able to understand more advanced mechanical knowledge and will become advanced technical talents.
The development of Black Dragon City is currently in urgent need of such talents.
However, most of the people present remained silent and fell into deep thought.
They were all infected by the aura that Tust exuded at this moment, and saw the sincerity.
They knew that the advertisement was true, but what they saw more was the expectation of a top mechanic who hoped that mechanical technology would develop healthily.
... ... .
In the face of advanced science and technology,
Pure mechanics will study, seek knowledge, and bridge gaps for their own progress with an attitude of humility and reverence for knowledge;
For example, Grandmaster Jurgen.
Others, on the other hand, will harbor resentment.
They will choose to suppress those who are stronger than them.
Because what they see is not technology, but a threat to their status.
After the Royal Academy of Sciences loses its status as a technological hegemon, their status will plummet.
For example, Dean Brendan and those who stand at the top of power.
There were no "foreign enemies" before, and Oma Academy still lived in a world where it was "number one in the world".
There is now too.
A mysterious and powerful Black Dragon City.
Only then did everyone realize that the world had changed.
... ...
Upon hearing Tust's words, Grandmaster Oliver's face changed drastically, because he was the beneficiary of Omar College's current policy.
He also didn't expect that Tust would not talk about what happened back then, but would start poaching the corners of their academy.
At this time, he was not polite and said: "Mr. Tust, although this is an exchange meeting, please don't make some untrue remarks and mislead the students."
"Untrue remarks?"
Tust was interrupted by this guy again and again, and he got a little angry and asked: "Tell me, what part of what I said is untrue?"
Oliver was speechless due to the rebuke, and his face looked a little ugly. He could only say stubbornly: "Hmph, our Oma Academy is recognized as the Holy Land of Mechanics in the world, but we can't help you, a Black Dragon Academy that was newly built less than a year ago, to make irresponsible remarks!"
These words attracted the attention of the entire academy, immediately pulling the shaken students back to the camp line.
These words were harsh to Tust, and he was very aware of the other party's petty intentions. He said coldly: "I never said anything about Oma Academy. The only people I look down on from the beginning are despicable people like Brian." !”
Hearing that his teacher was scolded in front of so many people, Oliver also said angrily: "Humph, don't slander the teacher's reputation! If you continue to talk nonsense like this, we will no longer welcome you at Oma College!"
"Slander? Ha..."
Tust felt angry as he listened to this guy defending his old enemy. "Since it's a slander, why doesn't that guy dare to show up and choose to be a coward?"
After a pause, he said coldly: "Old man, you can say it bluntly, people like Brendan who are just chasing fame are nothing in my eyes!"
Oliver: "You..."
... ... .
The exchange meeting was supposed to end here in an unpleasant atmosphere.
Whether it was Karl's slap in the face with his strength or Tust's speech, they only planted a seed. Before there is no chaos in Omar, it is not possible to pull people away.
For the seeds to really germinate, the old emperor must die.
As for the old man's hatred...
Dean Brendan seemed determined not to show up and wanted to deal with the matter coldly.
After all, as long as he ignores it, everyone will choose to believe the court's decision and him, a highly respected dean. But once there is a confrontation, if Tust comes up with any special "evidence" and things turn around, the matter will become a big deal.
Tust didn't plan to cause a scene in the college, and planned to go to Dean Brendan's door in person.
Back then, when he was a small nobleman, he had no choice but to deal with the powerful Morai family. Now, Black Dragon City is not afraid of a powerful family. Not to mention this Brendan, even the prince needs an explanation!
Unexpectedly, before they could leave the academic hall, a large group of imperial security officers and city guards surrounded them tightly.
Not only the security department, but also the college's guard team, and even the Imperial City Defense Corps, numbering in the thousands.
It seems that because they know that Renn has a special status, there are two top fifth-level extraordinarys in the team.
The leader shouted loudly at the door, explaining their purpose.
"Stop! You are suspected of murdering a high-ranking nobleman. Now, in the name of the Public Security Department, I announce your arrest. Please do not resist fearlessly and cooperate with our investigation..."
Before he finished speaking, there were sounds of guns being loaded and knives being drawn.
Not to be outdone, the guards of Black Dragon City all pointed their weapons at the dozens of encirclement and suppression soldiers.
The two sides are at war with each other, and there is a tendency for a fight if they disagree.
... ... .
The change happened very suddenly, but neither Ren nor Tust had much surprise on their faces.
After all, Dean Brendan is a staunch supporter of the Queen's lineage, and it is normal for them to take the initiative at this critical moment of imperial power transition.
But I didn't expect it to come so directly.
When Ren and Ymir came to the Omar Imperial Capital, several princes wanted to win over them.
Although Black Dragon City has high mountains and long roads, everyone knows that Black Dragon City now has invincible rattan-armored flying dragon riders and top-notch mechanical technology.
Moreover, Ymir is the emperor's biological sister and has a strong voice.
At this juncture, Black Dragon City must win over anyone who wants to seize the imperial power.
However, the only thing that cannot be reconciled is the Queen's lineage.
The first is that the personal enmity between Tust and Dean Brendan cannot be reconciled at all.
The second is that when Ymir was forced out of Omar's circle of power, the Lopez family behind the queen was the "first contributor". The assassination of Ymir and the framing of [Storm General] Balon for treason were almost all done by the Queen.
No matter what, there is no possibility of improvement.
Therefore, for the Queen's lineage, Black Dragon City is an enemy that has a negative impact on his failure to obtain the imperial power. The earlier it is eradicated, the more beneficial it will be.
What's more, they also took a fancy to Tust's skills.
With this one person, Omar Technology can take off for twenty years!
In the eyes of those guys, maybe they are still beyond their reach in Black Dragon City; now that they have come to Omar Imperial Capital, can they still let the delicious food escape
... ... .
Seeing that the Black Dragon City group did not move, the fifth-level heavy-armored knight looked at Renn again and urged: "Lord Renn, please cooperate with us to go to the Public Security Department."
There was no politeness in his tone, and he seemed not to notice Renn, a "foreigner" at all.
Renn raised his eyebrows and glanced at the man, curiously asking: "We are suspected of killing a high-ranking noble? Who are you talking about?"
He wasn't surprised that the other party would try to trick him, but he was very curious about what excuse the other party used.
Ren and the others are indeed planning to kill a high-ranking noble, that is Dean Brian. But the guy hid and didn't show up, and he hadn't found a chance to kill him yet.
Upon hearing this, the leader waved his hand, and the soldiers carried out a corpse covered with white cloth.
He said: "You are suspected of murdering Mrs. Alma Garcia. Witnesses show that you had a fierce conflict with Mrs. Garcia and her family members at 'Tingyu Lake'... "
"Mrs. Garcia is dead?"
Ren frowned when he heard this.
He never expected that those guys would actually kill this guy in order to frame them.
But after thinking about it a little, I don’t think it’s surprising.
Only when she dies will there be no irrefutable evidence of what happened back then, and Dean Brendan can completely relax.
Moreover, because the previous quarrel with Phoebe was witnessed by many people, Ren and the others also had a "motive" to commit the crime.
The Public Security Department asked them to cooperate with the investigation, which is theoretically reasonable and legal.
However, Ren knew that these guys had bad intentions.
After all, they didn't kill the person at all.
If you really go to the Public Security Department and go to jail, it will be hard to say anything.
... ...
For Renn, Mrs. Garcia is dead as long as she is dead, and she doesn’t know her anyway.
Anyway, it's just an excuse to "start a war", and it doesn't matter who it is.
But to Tust on the side, she had a different meaning.
Upon hearing the news of Mrs. Garcia's death, Renn clearly felt that the old man next to him took a breath.
The old man slowly walked to the single shelf with the corpse, and untied the white cloth with trembling hands, revealing a bloodless face. There was a bloody hole in the chest of the corpse, and there seemed to be no signs of struggle.
Tust was engrossed in staring at the face of the corpse. Others could not see his expression. Judging from his voice that seemed to be squeezed out from his throat, you could tell that he was suppressing a terrible emotion: "You guys put it down?" Did she kill?"
Naturally, the leader would not admit it and laughed: "Humph! Mrs. Garcia was killed by a thief, and you are the biggest suspects! Please arrest her now, otherwise we will not be polite!"
Hearing this, Tust had no intention of defending at all, but his voice had become frighteningly low, and he said to himself: "Brendan, you are still so shameless! In order to achieve your goal, you will do whatever it takes..."
The hatred that had been suppressed for decades finally burst out when he saw this pale corpse.
He can choose to forgive Garcia, but that doesn't mean others can take her life away!
Tust instantly burst out with anger that no one had ever seen before, and roared towards the crowd: "Brendan, I know you are coming! You despicable and shameless villain, you only dare to hide in the dark for a long time. Are you here? You were hiding behind your father back then, and now you are like a cockroach in the sewer, hiding and not daring to see people? "
The one who knows best is always the enemy.
As if he knew he had a chance to win, at this moment, a man slowly walked out of the crowd.
This is surprisingly the president of the Royal Academy of Omar, Brendan de Molay!
He was wearing a gilded noble robe, a big beard, and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a kind old professor.
If Renn hadn't known about this guy's despicable deeds, he might have thought he was the respected dean of the Academy of Sciences.
"I had some trivial matters just now, so I came late."
The dean stood up with a completely uninformed expression. He looked at Tust with an unfamiliar look on his face and said, "This gentleman from Black Dragon City, there seems to be some misunderstanding between us?"
Tust suddenly raised his head and sneered: "Haha... do you think you can get away with it by pretending to know each other today?"
It was the first time that Ren saw the old man showing such a ferocious expression, and he also raised his eyebrows and looked at the guards.
It seems that there is really going to be a big fuss today.
But it doesn’t matter.
When they first came to the imperial capital "Usenbar", which was surrounded by enemies from all sides, they originally came with the intention of killing it!
At this moment, Grandmaster Oliver opened his mouth and explained: "Teacher, this is Mr. Tust Fuenst from Black Dragon City. He said he was once a teacher in this academy."
"Oh, I remember!"
Hearing this, Brendan looked like he suddenly realized: "There seems to be such a person. He was an ordinary teacher in the college back then, but he is already dead. Although that guy used some despicable means to gain fame, It brought some negative impact to my reputation. But the law is fair, and he finally got the punishment he deserved... I think it was not Mr. Tust, right?"
Now that the most important witnesses are dead, I'm just telling lies. What can you do to me
This is so similar to the scene back then.
However, Garcia did not die when he jumped into the lake, but now he is really dead.
Tust listened silently, showing no intention of arguing. He looked at the body on the ground and said calmly: "Brendan, this is a grudge between you and me. You shouldn't kill her..."
A sneer flashed in Brendan's eyes, but he pretended to be unaware. He pointed at the corpse, turned his head and asked the city guard commander next to him: "What... what is going on?"
The commander said: "Master Dean, we just received a report that there was a murder case. When we came here, we found that Ms. Garcia was murdered. And based on the testimony of eyewitnesses, these gentlemen from Black Dragon City are highly suspected. .So, we are preparing to ask them to go to the Public Security Department to assist in the investigation... "
Brendan said with a hypocritical expression of regret, "Hey... Such a tragedy happened on campus, killing a respected high-ranking nobleman. Please ask the Public Security Department to severely punish the murderer!"
"That's our job."
The commander said: "However, these gentlemen do not seem to intend to cooperate with our investigation. Dean Brendan, you see..."
Brendan: "The imperial capital is about the rule of law. Everything should be done in accordance with the law."
Hearing this, the commander seemed to have taken reassurance, and his attitude suddenly became tougher: "Now, let me warn you for the last time. Please cooperate with our investigation, otherwise..."
Not to mention Tust, even Ren couldn't bear to see the ugly faces of these people.
These guys are blatantly relying on their power in the imperial capital to use their power to overwhelm others and "confuse right and wrong."
Ren asked coldly: "If I don't cooperate with you, why are you so rude?"
After saying this, the guards in Black Dragon City also understood what their city lord was planning to do, and they squeezed the weapons in their hands tightly.
Even if they face dozens of enemies, they are not afraid.
The commander said with a face: "Our security team has the power of life and death granted by the imperial constitution. For the safety of the imperial capital, you can kill first and then show off. If you resist, you will be shot without mercy!"
At this time, another deputy commander also said: "Huh! You don't know life and death, what really matters to Usenbar is that a foreigner like you can come and run wild! No matter what kind of city lord you are, you must guard this place when you come here. The law!"
Ren's expression didn't change as he listened, "Oh..."
He glanced at the guys in front of him and said calmly: "Then you guys... try 'shoot to kill'?"
