James shook his head, "How difficult is it for a Sword Saint to break through to become a Sword God? This is no longer a matter of hard work and training, but a clear understanding of the rules of the world. Only then can one use the rules and become a demigod. There were countless Sword Saints throughout the ages, but those who managed to reach the realm of the SemiGod were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns. Right, that Nicholas isn't simple. His foundation is very solid, and even though he is breaking through a bit slower, it is easier for him to improve as he goes higher. His teacher, Victor, is indeed not ordinary. Kathleen and Bridget are also rare talents. Their future accomplishments are limitless, so you have to keep working hard. Otherwise they will be left far behind. "

After a silent night, the next day, Werther woke up from his meditative state. His ears were filled with clamorous noises, so he asked Alan who came to deliver washing water, "Why is it so noisy outside?" Alan pursed his lips into a smile and said, "Young Master became famous in the palace last night. The entire capital knows about you now."

Werther didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It seemed that the celebrity effect in this world was also not small. He decided not to go out and instead meditate in the secret room. After making a ruckus for a few days, James could not bear the disturbance any longer. In the end, he told the nobles that his son was still too young to discuss marriage.

As expected, what happened in the palace, especially Nicholas' '' dragon among men '' assessment, had already spread throughout the entire continent in just a few days. There was even a rumor that Emperor Adolf of the Kaiser Empire said to a group of officials at a meeting, "I heard that Klein has an additional little Roland, and he is also a future genius personally evaluated by Nicholas. When will our Kaiser Empire have a new young hero?" However, Werther merely smiled in the face of all this, not caring in the slightest. Until James called him and told him he had to go to the Military Academy.

He had first gone to the library for three months, then he had gone into seclusion for more than a year, and now he was a teenager who was almost twelve years old. Werther was only ten years old, and as a rule, he could only hire a few teachers to teach him, but James had used some connections to force him into the academy, so even if he had been absent for a year, no one would question him. But now it was different, after Nicholas' explanation, Vet's name had already resounded throughout the entire continent, and his identity as a student of the Imperial Military Academy had been revealed to the outside world. This way, even Duke Rhonda had to pay attention to him, and when he found out that Nicholas had skipped classes for more than a year, he immediately ordered, "Have Roland immediately resume his studies!"

There was no helping it, Werther could only pack his bags and obediently go to school. In fact, this was also a good thing. In the short span of a year, Werther had perfected his fleshly body to the maximum, although it was not unrelated to his aptitude and fortuitous encounters, in the end, he was still too fast, and needed too much time to consolidate his realm. Furthermore, it was not easy to infuse zhenqi into all of his acupoints, and he had to be very careful even when absorbing magical elements to convert them into zhenqi. Going to the military academy to start a systematic study would help them increase their experience, as well as sharpen their mentality. They would be able to kill two birds with one stone.

The moment Werther stepped into the academy, he looked at the statue of the first emperor and smiled bitterly. Although he was a student of the academy, he had only come twice in less than two years. It was truly ironic. Just as he was about to enter, a surprised voice suddenly shouted, "Big Brother Werther!" Turning around to look, it was actually the granddaughter of the Right Premier, little girl Luna. She was still dressed as a cute little princess, and in her hands was a small staff. She stood there smiling sweetly.

Luna, why are you here?" Luna smiled, revealing her two canines. "Big Brother Werther, you don't know, right? I am a student of the Magic Martial Academy. I am a fire mage! " As he spoke, he waved his staff in a threatening manner. Werther slapped his head. He remembered that Luna's father, Kroll, was a Water Mage, but he had given birth to a daughter who had fire magic aptitude. At that time, it could be considered a joke, and the Mage Academy was right next to the Military Academy.

Luna laughed, "That's right, I'm going to class. Big brother Werther, do you know that you're a celebrity now? Even my grandfather talks about you all day! You sure are amazing. It's enough as long as I have your ability! "

Werther forced a smile. "I'd rather not be that famous. Now, even this silly little girl knows about it." Smiling, he asked, "Oh right, where's your aunt? Why haven't I seen her running to my house in the past few days?" Luna gave him a strange look. "Aunt?" Isn't she right behind you? " Werther's heart turned cold. As expected, he turned his head and saw a beautiful face covered in frost staring at him. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hello, Aunt Sophia!"

Sophia said coldly, "Why do you want to know? "Could it be that you want to watch me make a joke out of it?" Werther's heart thumped, "Not good!" This woman has fallen in love, but my cheap dad didn't know how to react, and he threw a coquettish glance at the blind man. A woman in love is the most unreasonable, and once she decides that I'm mocking her, she won't be able to live a good life in the future. "

He smiled: "Aunt Sophia, I was wondering why you didn't go to see father these few days. I didn't want to see you so I asked about it." Sigh, my mother died early. All these years, my father took care of me by himself, and I really hope to have a new mother. However, my opinion isn't that important, so it still depends on my father's own opinion. Hehe, Aunt Sophia, you'd better hurry! " He waved at Luna and ran away.

Sophia listened to his words. Her face first turned red but then became gloomy. She mocked herself: "Little thing knows a lot. But when is your father going to be enlightened? "Am I, Sophia, really that unbearable to let him see?" Luna walked over and took her aunt's hand. She whispered, "Auntie, don't be discouraged. I heard from dad that the Emperor nodded in agreement to the matter between you and Uncle Roland. You don't have to worry, hmm." The little girl wouldn't persuade him. After repeating it over and over again, she just said that she didn't need to worry. Sophia was touched. With a flip of her hand, she held her niece in her arms, but two streams of tears were already flowing down.

Werther trotted all the way to the dean's office. There Rhonda was waiting for him. Duke Rhonda was still dressed in his military uniform, and his white hair was carefully combed. He smiled when he saw Werther coming in and said, "Baron Roland, please take a seat." His tone was actually quite polite. Werther said with a smile, "There's no need to be polite, Grand Duke. Please speak your mind."

The grand duke sighed and said slowly, "I am an important official of the empire, so I have some secrets that I have the chance to know." Your father, Lord James, is a man I admire a lot. When we were at the northern border, he was very brave with his army. And you, Sir Werther, will probably do better than him in the future, especially after what happened to Nicholas. I called you here today to ostensibly reprimand you, to order you to continue attending school, but in reality, I need your help. "

Looking at Werther's puzzled expression, he smiled self-deprecatingly. "I've been a follower of His Majesty since I was a child, and I'm indebted to His Majesty's perseverance in sending me to this military academy to study, which gave me the opportunity to build my career. After that, His Majesty ascended the throne, he also relied heavily on me. My Lundas have served the Empire with all their might, and Bridget's parents have been sacrificed at the frontlines of the battle. Therefore, Bridget was raised by me since he was young, and couldn't help but to be a little doting on him. As you have seen, Bridget really likes the Grand Princess, but the Grand Princess … Sigh, that day, he actually lost his composure in front of everyone in the great hall, it really disappointed me. This child was very obedient when he was young. Why did he make me worry so much when he was young? I do have some reputation in the army, but that was earned through decades of fighting and killing. After I die, they might not be able to help Bridget, and this kid doesn't want to join the army either. "This is what I have asked you to do today. I hope you can promise me that after my death, you will take care of Bridget in my stead."

Werther was still only a twelve-year-old kid. Duke Rhonda actually said such words, which really made him a bit helpless. He smiled bitterly and said, "Duke, you really overestimate me. Master Bridget is already over twenty years old and has a master of the Sword Saint. How can I take care of him before I'm of age …"

Duke Rhonda made an 'oh' sound and suddenly said, "Looks like Sir James did not tell you about this. Then, forget it. I've been rude today." The old man's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and a wry smile appeared on his face. "Sir Werther, I was wrong today. Please keep it a secret for me and don't tell your father. Otherwise, this old man's days won't be good."
