Benjamin spent the next few days enjoying a rare peaceful life.
He got up on time, ate on time, asked Jeremy to run errands on time, and he never went out again. The continuous events seemed to have stopped all of a sudden. His father, Claude, had not returned from an inspection of the territory, and the few remaining people in the house were in peace, and they only said hello every day and could not say a few words.
After reading "Introduction to Divine Magic", he put the book back on Grant's desk very early. The episode in Grant's bedroom that night was treated as if it had never happened, and neither of them mentioned it.
Benjamin hides in his bedroom every day, pretending to sleep, and then practices in the conscious space. Sometimes I would "meditate" to strengthen the triangular characters, and sometimes I would accelerate the cohesion of new characters, and I didn't encounter any problems in between.
Everything is developing smoothly and moving forward steadily just like in the news broadcast. Benjamin was satisfied.
But he also knew that this peaceful life would not last long.
But what he didn't expect was that the first person to break his peaceful cultivation life was his father, Claude.
Claude came back from the territory, and the first thing he did after coming back was to call Benjamin to the study early in the morning.
"Your thoughts are getting more and more wild. If you continue like this, will you start dueling with other nobles with guns?" As soon as Benjamin entered the study, Claude, who was standing with his hands behind his back, scolded him.
It seems that Claude must also have heard about the farce of the "war simulation game" of the aristocratic teenagers.
Benjamin was a little speechless.
He is obviously a victim, okay, why are you scolding him? It’s not Benjamin who brought the gun. If you want to blame it, it’s Dick. Why should you blame him? Are you still being unreasonable
But of course he doesn't show it on his face. He knew very well that in this situation, all he had to do was keep silent and accept the scolding. When Claude had enough scolding and was satisfied, he would naturally let him go. This incident will only be a small episode and will not have any impact on his life.
However, he guessed the process, but not the result.
After giving enough lectures, Claude was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Benjamin: "You have been enjoying happiness all day long and have never suffered much since you were a child, so you are like what you are today. I have already contacted my friends in the army. From now on, you can follow them to train every morning, so that you don’t have to stay in bed early every morning and refuse to get up!"
Benjamin was confused now.
what's the situation
Before he could say anything, Claude couldn't help but call a servant in. It was the maid who took him to solitary confinement last time. She seemed to be named Jessica or something.
"Take Benjamin to the military camp in the city and say that General Gray arranged it and hand Benjamin over to them." Claude ordered, and at the end he specifically added, "Watch Benjamin and don't let him escape. !”
The maid replied with a poker face that was as expressionless as Master Jue's: "I understand, sir."
Then, she looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin's hair suddenly stood on end.
"Well... I don't think I've had breakfast yet..."
"Master, please come this way."
The maid interrupted Benjamin mercilessly and escorted Benjamin out of the study.
Claude looked at Benjamin's leaving figure and shook his head with hatred.
In this way, not long after he got up, Benjamin, who was still in a daze, was taken to the military camp stationed in Havenright.
On the way to escort.
"Um...your name is Jessica, right? I remember correctly."
The maid replied coldly: "Yes, Master."
"Jessica, can you stop for a while and let me get something to eat? Don't worry, I'm definitely not trying to run away. I really just got up and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. I'm already very hungry now." Benjamin said. .
Not that he really wanted an excuse to escape. If he really ran away, Claude would be so angry that he might be kicked out of the house. Therefore, although Benjamin wanted to stay in the room and practice by himself, he did not dare to have any objections.
Benjamin really wanted to get something to fill his stomach. In his current situation, he is basically about to be sent to military training. Who knows what programs the military training here will prepare for him? He didn't dare to take it lightly. From the look on Claude's face, it was obvious that he was serious about it.
Military training was just that, he had not experienced it, but going hungry was a bit inhumane.
What can he do if he does one hour of military posture, two hundred frog jumps, three hundred push-ups, etc.? Before Michelle's curse could kill him, he died of starvation and exhaustion.
Therefore, his request for food was the simplest and most reasonable request he could make in this situation.
Jessica’s answer is also very simple:
"Can't."
“…”
Benjamin couldn't help but complained to the system in his mind:
"This woman is simply more difficult to communicate with than you."
The system was very angry: "Don't compare me with this kind of passerby. Believe it or not, in a few chapters, no readers will remember her name at all. You put me together with her, you are simply insulting me as a golden person." The dignity of fingers!”
"...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Benjamin was even more speechless, "It's much harder to communicate with you than with her. I underestimated you."
Hearing this, the system said proudly: "That's pretty much it."
Benjamin vomited blood and died.
Just like that, with the maid in front of him and the system in his mind, Benjamin had no choice but to be taken to the military camp in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps because the royal capital has experienced several civil strife, the location of the Havenright garrison is in the inner city, not far from the church, the aristocratic district, and the royal palace. In terms of combat effectiveness, this army has always been hailed as the elite among the elite. It enjoys a high status in the minds of both the common people and the nobles.
Claude was able to bring Benjamin in, even though it was only for military training, which showed how strong his relationship was with his "friend in the army" - you know, the army never buys into the nobles' account.
After handing over to the guards at the gate of the military camp, the maid completed her mission and left. Benjamin was taken to a camp by a soldier who was completely covered in armor and could not see the real person.
During this process, Benjamin tried to chat with the soldiers escorting him to see if he could get something to eat. As a result, the soldier ignored him at all, causing the system to gloat again.
When he finally reached his destination, the soldier opened his mouth and uttered the only sentence:
"arrive."
When Benjamin heard this, wasn’t he just a child? The milky sound is so milky, I'm pulling my hair...
Just as he was about to say something, the soldier turned around and left without hesitation.
“…”
The little soldier left just like that, and his attitude made Benjamin realize that this military training day might not be easy.
really.
"Hey, that kid over there looking around is calling you, come here!"
A voice like a broken gong immediately reached Benjamin's ears. Benjamin turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform with an unshaven beard in the camp. At this moment, he was looking at him impatiently.
