MTL - StarCraft In the Palm of Your Hand-Chapter 722 Duke Zuma
Igor has become a man of the empire these days. The major media did not hesitate to use all kinds of gorgeous words to praise him to the sky. The achievement of inventing a new type of awakening potion made him easily obtain a high status in the academic circles of the empire. Now he is a professor at the Pharmacy Branch of the First Royal Academy.
Although there are always some people in the college who think that he is too young, he is only lucky enough to make achievements, and he is not good enough to be a professor, and there are quite a few criticisms in private, but generally speaking, Earl Igor's life is still very good. not bad.
Of course, the small actions against the new awakening potion have never stopped. Dozens of prominent families in the upper echelon of the empire have resorted to various means to spy, some attempting to lure, some attempting to intimidate, and some even found out Igor's There is a problem with his identity, it is likely to be forged, and he used this to threaten Igor to reveal the formula and production process of the new awakening potion to them, otherwise he will report.
After all, how much scrutiny can an identity certificate forged by a few low-level people withstand?
It's just that these nobles were disappointed after all. Igor didn't care that his identity was forged. He held an epoch-making new awakening potion formula in his hand. Even if they are accused of using false identities and harboring ulterior motives, can they still ban the spread of medicine?
This is simply impossible, the spread of the new awakening potion is impossible to stop, and as long as the potion is spreading, Igor, as its inventor, will be invincible.
Nowadays, the royal family legally monopolizes the right to manufacture and distribute new awakening potions. The basis is that Igor has granted these two powers to the royal family alone. People, then the queen has no reason to refuse in front of the Senate.
Even if it is confirmed that Igor's identity is forged, as long as he asks for an amnesty from the royal family and puts forward a plausible reason for using his false identity, the royal family will not refuse to issue an amnesty permit in order to continue to monopolize the new awakening potion.
Therefore, the nobles from all walks of life resorted to various methods, but none of them succeeded.
But even so, the nobles from all walks of life still maintained restraint, and no one directly robbed people in the First Royal Academy.
For one thing, this academy is a palace of knowledge, a field of wisdom, and has always had a transcendent status. Any disputes by force are not allowed to involve this place. This is the tradition of the empire, and it is in the long-established real human empire. The power of tradition is extremely strong, and most nobles dare not go beyond the rules.
Secondly, Duke Zuma, the headmaster of the First Royal Academy, is a fourth-level extreme existence. Apart from his own strength, his disciples and former officials are all over the empire. Although he usually devotes himself to research and doesn't care about political affairs, no one can ignore his influence, and no one dares to play wild in his academy.
By the way, Duke Zuma is also one of the dozen or so old guys with the highest status in the Senate, but he is different from those elders who were recruited by Sandover.
Duke Zuma's political stance is not obvious, and he hardly speaks in the Senate, but those who are familiar with him know that he is on the side of the royal family, so the First Royal Academy is generally considered to be the talent pool of the royal family. Both Queen Limia and Langton had studied in the First Royal Academy.
Not only that, during the reign of Bai Bai's great-grandfather, Duke Zuma became the dean of the First Royal Academy. Except for the queen, Bai Bai's grandfather and father had studied under him. Duke Zuma can be regarded as the third generation of emperors. division.
During the period from Bai Bai's father's death to Bai Bai's return to the empire, at least three-quarters of the members of the Senate did not take the royal family seriously. Although Duke Zuma did not reveal anything during this period, he was very protective of the royal family in many subtle ways.
This made the royal family very grateful, and the royal family's trust in him can be seen from the fact that the two supreme beings planned to send Bai Bai to the First Royal Academy for admission.
Or from another point of view, the royal family allowed Baibai to enter the First Royal Academy in order to show this trust to Duke Zuma and further deepen the relationship between the two parties.
In the past month or so, several major earthquakes have occurred in the upper layers of the empire. First, the Sandvor Group returned from the solar system, and the eldest princess returned to the empire; Duke Ke was brought back to life, and Yang Ying took out a large amount of resurrection agent materials; there was also a series of events such as the emergence of a new type of awakening agent, and the inventor Igor exclusively authorized the royal family to handle it, all of which greatly increased the royal family's prestige.
However, although the royal family took the opportunity to make many elders fall to them, they still failed to control the majority of the Senate, which made it impossible for the two Supremes to take back Sandover's military power.
In this case, a heavyweight like Duke Zuma still needs the royal family to spend their time maintaining it.
At Glacier Central College, when the royal family and the Sandvor Group were confronting each other, Igor and Yang Ying met once, so they met on the road and did not pretend not to know each other. Igor came up to say hello: "Your Excellency Yang Ying, long time no see."
"Count Igor, have you been doing well recently?" Yang Ying didn't deliberately look indifferent or affectionate. Although the person in front of him was his avatar, but Igor's identity hadn't been exposed yet, he didn't want to let him The people of the empire knew about the emergence of new awakening potions. It was he who pushed behind it.
Igor's avatar is a fourth-level existence. Although the spiritual power condensed on his body is only maintained at the level of the third extreme limit, but with the protection of Yang Ying's body, even another strong man as strong as Sandover can't See through Igor's past and future.
In order to cover up this, Yang Ying also made a pretense. In front of the empress and empress dowager, he drew several protective runes on Igor to block the prying eyes of other fourth-level existences.
Because of this experience, Yang Ying and Igor are relatively familiar to outsiders, but that's all, no one found anything unusual.
"Count Igor, go get busy if you have something to do. Let's walk around the campus by ourselves." After a few words, Yang Ying and Igor ended their conversation.
"Then, I wish you all a happy day today." Igor nodded to everyone, and passed them by.
When Igor was far away, Yang Ying turned to Bai Bai and said with a smile: "The main reason we came here today is to take you to meet Duke Zuma. When I visited the nobles, I didn't have time to visit the old Duke. , just make up for it today.”
The mansion of Duke Zuma was built on a hill to the east of the campus of the First Royal Academy, which is different from other professors' mansions in the college. The hill and the surrounding land of nearly ten hectares were assigned to the old duke as his territory, in recognition of his contribution to the education of the empire over tens of thousands of years, and it is also the only noble private territory on the campus.
After Yang Ying and his party entered this territory, they first entered a botanical garden. Although the garden occupies a small area, the various plants planted are all treasures. The market price of a seedling is tens of millions of imperial coins. There are a lot of them, and they are all things that have a price but no market.
Yang Ying and his group have no special feelings for these rare plants. Although a botanical garden of this level is of great value, it is not uncommon in Capital Star, a place full of high-ranking nobles.
And no matter Yang Ying, Katerina, or Bai Bai. Langton is still a frequent visitor to the garden on the ninety-ninth floor of the palace. He has seen many flowers and plants that are ten times and a hundred times rarer than here. Of course, he will not feel anything when looking at the botanical garden in front of him.
A group of people walked out of the botanical garden, only to see a gazebo standing by the roadside, and an old man was sitting in the gazebo, who had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"Old man Zuma, I have met Her Royal Highness." The old man stood up and bowed to Bai Bai.
"Duke, please forgive me." Bai Bai is always very polite in front of outsiders. She has already mastered the etiquette of the royal family, and immediately stepped forward to return the gift, "You are the teacher of the emperor's grandfather, father and sister, and my elder. I dare not accept your gift."
Seniority and inferiority are also part of the empire's tradition. The long history of the empire has inevitably led to the emergence of strict and meticulous etiquette rules, and the more the rules develop~www.novelbuddy.com~, the more complicated they become. Every aspect of the empire.
Duke Zuma is an old man with a strong academic temperament and aristocratic temperament. His eyes are sunken, his forehead is full, his complexion is ruddy, he has a long snow-white beard that extends to his knees, and his eyes are full of wisdom.
Of course, these are just the images he shows. The existence of the fourth level is a little bit more advanced, and it can change in a thousand ways. It is too easy to change the appearance. It only needs one thought, whether it is to rejuvenate or become red. Skeletons and the like are nothing to worry about.
Yang Ying once heard from Langton that Duke Zuma was only known to have fifty-three images, and the image of the bearded old man was the most important one. , this image appears.
In addition, Duke Zuma often leaves the capital star. He went to various parts of the empire to find talented, hard-working, but lacking opportunities, and brought them back to the academy for further studies. At that time, he would use other images to avoid being recognized.
Duke Zuma's foresight is well-known in the empire, plus he has the fourth-level extreme predictive ability, it is not difficult to see through a person's life, as long as the other party has not reached the fourth level, it is rare to hide it from the old man. Duke's eyes. Many of the students he had a crush on later achieved great success.
There are many stories spread all over the empire, telling how some lucky people were discovered by Duke Zuma and made a career. The oldest of these stories are tens of thousands of years old, and they still inspire people today, pushing them to study hard, be kind to others, and wait for the day when good luck strikes their door and they can hold on to it.
