If Mr. Qiu knew what kind of changes the so-called "seed" of power he gave to Rody would bring to Rody—and even the world, then he would definitely not do that!
Many years later, there is a proverb circulating in the world: A finger changes the world, and a seed collapses an empire.
Of course, the famous wise man Seth did not know where he found a philosophical saying left by the Dandong sage, which can better illustrate its meaning:
A nail is lost, a shoe is broken;
A shoe is broken, a war horse is broken;
A horse was broken, a knight was wounded;
A knight was injured, a message was lost;
A message is lost, a battle is lost;
Lose a battle, lose the entire campaign;
The entire battle was lost and an empire was destroyed.
This passage is very interesting - often an extremely small and insignificant thing, in the end, can produce unexpected results!
That's the "seed" of power that Mr. Qiu gave to Rody!
Roddy didn't wake up until he accepted Mr. Qiu's finger. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Mr. Qiu's finger, but subconsciously, he understood that there seemed to be something different about him.
However, he couldn't tell what the difference was.
Nicole had no intention of letting him contact outsiders. After meeting Mr. Qiu, he was immediately taken to Nicole's small laboratory building.
"From today on, you will live here!" Nicole said lightly and prepared to leave.
"Wait... please wait!" Seeing Nicole about to leave again, Roddy mustered up the courage and couldn't help shouting.
"Huh?" Nicole turned back and looked at the big boy.
Roddy slowly took off the mask on his face and sighed: "Miss Nicole... um... Master... um... I want to know, why is this face of mine...?"
Nicole looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Roddy continued: "I know that this face is exactly the same as your brother's. Why did you turn me into your brother's appearance?"
Nicole frowned: "You will know when the time comes! Now you just need to listen to me!"
"No..." Rody said cautiously: "In fact, I can already guess a little bit..." At this point, Rody hesitated for a moment, and then more carefully and gently probed: "You... you want me to Impersonating your brother...is...is it?"
Nicole's face changed slightly and she said calmly: "You know?"
"Of course..." Rody curled his lips: "Just look at my face now, can't you guess it?"
Nicole sneered a few times and asked: "Aren't you dissatisfied? You know, my brother is a famous handsome man in the imperial capital. This face now is more than a thousand times more beautiful than your original face!" "
Rody shrugged his shoulders and just said lightly: "It's a pity that no matter how good it is, it's not my own!"
Nicole was stunned for a moment. She had never thought that Roddy could have such thoughts at such a young age.
Nicole took a few steps closer, took a deep look at Roddy, and said slowly: "You know, I asked you to pretend to be my brother to do me a big favor! Since you guessed it, I won't hide it anymore! We You must know the identity of the family! If this thing is successful! I will never treat you badly! Look... you can't go back to the academy anyway! Then you can become an officer in the future! Will this be my compensation for you?"
army
officer
Roddy was instantly stunned!
willing
Of course! ! !
Who doesn’t know the status of the Tulip family in the military? Theirs is the home of the Imperial Marshal! If Nicole comes forward to arrange for him to join the military, then as long as Rody does not do too badly in the future, a bright road will be in front of him! !
No matter how you calculate it, it is much better than staying in the imperial capital and being an unknown warrior!
Even if you become a warrior, what can you do? Unless you become a top player - like Mr. Qiu! There are more than hundreds or thousands of ordinary warriors in the imperial capital? Most of those who are doing well are just working as bodyguards for the nobles, and some who are doing worse are just working as thugs on the streets - just like what Roddy and the others did last time!
Rody's eyes were already shining!
Who doesn't want to be a young man who wants to be successful in the future? Especially a civilian-born person like Roddy
Although Rody didn't speak, the expression on his face was clearly revealed.
"Then..." Rody thought carefully and said solemnly: "Okay, I promise you! But... I have one more request! It's just a small request!"
"What?"
"That friend of mine..." Rody said softly: "Miss Nicole... I know that having one more groom and one less groom means nothing to your family. You... can let my friend go." Just let him go back to the academy!"
Nicole smiled: "This is not a big deal, but I warn you, although I can agree to your requests, you'd better be careful! The most important thing about this matter is keeping it secret! Regarding pretending to be my brother, you You can’t tell anyone! If others find out, hum…” Although Nicole didn’t say what would happen, she just hummed twice, but Rody immediately closed his mouth and didn’t dare to say a word again. .
Hell, she even conjured up a pair of bunny ears for herself! God knows what else this woman can do!
"Okay! From today on, you play the role of my brother! From today on, you are Seth! Because you don't understand my brother's habits yet, I will come over every day to train you! You must keep it a secret at home! You can't. Let others know your identity! I will tell the public that you were caught by me because you escaped from the family for fun, and you are now being held here for reflection! This will prevent you from contacting outsiders!"
Rody nodded: "Then...can I read those books?"
Rody pointed to the huge bookshelves around the room, those densely packed classical books.
Nicole secretly sighed: Growing up, her younger brother Seth had been imprisoned here because of his mistakes and reflected on it countless times, but that guy who didn't know how to make progress always came in with the front foot and figured out how to escape with the back foot. I won’t give these books a second glance!
Although the boy in front of me is a little silly, he is a very motivated young man!
What a pity... If the heir of my Tulip family is really like this, it will really save me a lot of worry!
Nicole sighed and said: "Okay! It's just that you can't touch those things on the second floor! And the medicines in these bottles! But I have placed a magic ban on them, so you can't touch them anyway!"
After saying that, Nicole waved her sleeves, turned and left.
Seeing that Nicole was indeed gone, Roddy finally breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes flashed with joy, he cheered, ran to the bookshelf, and looked greedily at the huge bookshelf, his eyes full of excitement!
That night, Roddy didn't rest at all. He excitedly took down a high pile of books from the bookshelf. Later, he was too lazy to run to the table and simply sat cross-legged on the floor with the books in his hands.
At night, he simply moved the candlestick in the room next to him, sat next to a pile of books, and just leaned on the bookshelf to read.
Frankly speaking, Roddy has never been so comfortable in his life! Although he likes reading and the weird things in the world, it is a pity that he has never been able to satisfy his requirements in the Imperial Academy - you know, civilians are not allowed to enter the libraries that contain precious books - those are the exclusive rights of the nobility. !
Just when Rody was immersed in the emotions of satisfaction and joy, he faintly heard a slight sound of footsteps outside.
As a warrior, Rody immediately became nervous because of his vigilance. He jumped up from the ground and listened attentively.
Sure enough, the gentle footsteps were getting closer and closer - Rody was sure that the person coming was deliberately walking on tiptoes and walking softly!
Rody ducked and ran behind the door, waiting sideways.
After a moment, someone knocked lightly on the door, and then a delicate voice said timidly: "Master Seth... you... are you here?"
Rody was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
The door was slowly pushed open, and a weak figure flashed in.
Rody stared at the visitor, but was startled.
It was the pretty little maid I saw in the room during the day! At this moment, she walked in the door with a shy and nervous expression on her face, and her face was even redder. He didn't dare to look directly at Roddy, but he couldn't help but glance at him from the corner of his eyes.
"Master Seth... I... I heard that you were imprisoned here by the lady again... so... I... will... give you... some... food... um... food."
An Qi's voice was trembling, and her face was so red that it almost bled. He timidly handed over a basket. Although Rody didn't look carefully at what was inside, he already knew what was inside from the aroma that hit his face.
Angel looked at Rody's handsome face, her eyes flickering, but she always showed a bit of obsession in her eyes unintentionally. Those eyes were fluttering, but they were always tied to Rody's body.
