Path of The Dragonborn

Chatting while playing cards, the short time passed quickly. Before noon, the train had stopped firmly in the train station of the Imperial Capital.

Although there have been internships in other big cities in the past, the huge scale of the Imperial City Station still scared everyone. More than a dozen stops and transfer stations, crowds of tides and trains passing through the crowds all reveal the huge population behind this city.

It was originally the most populous city on the whole continent-plus the annual summer solstice festival is coming soon, tourists from all over the world have also gathered here in the last few days, preparing to participate in this rare grand scene in the Western Continent. carnival.

In this situation, the internship must be troublesome-Heliga felt so instinctively.

Because whether it is in Liber or Clos Bell, as long as it is such a happy and lively festival, there will always be people who "associate" out to make trouble.

Although it probably won't be this time...but Olibate's last reminder still had some content that Heilijia felt concerned.

Although it hasn't been fully determined yet-it is said that there are already terrorist groups operating within the empire. In the previous internship in the Nord Plateau, Group A encountered mysterious men who were members of terrorists and used the power of ancient relics to control the monsters to fight with them.

Therefore, since the other party already has the intention to act, and in its words and deeds, it seems to be aimed at the reformers and the "iron-blooded prime ministers"-then this summer solstice festival held in the capital of the reformist base camp will undoubtedly be It's an excellent time to make trouble.

Therefore, when Captain Kleia brought the two groups of members into the conference room of the railway gendarmerie, the mayor of Regnitz who came to announce the task-by the way, this mayor of Regnitz is not only a class VII classmate Macias’s father is still one of the three permanent members of the school, so the assignment of internship tasks is obligatory. When Macias learned about it, his expression became very exciting-his expression seemed very hurried, as if There are important things to do.

"Is there any problem in the Imperial City Hall?" Heliga leaned closer to Kleiya, "I feel he is nervous."

"Yeah...the security pressure has been very high recently. Because the scope of the summer solstice festival has spread to the entire imperial capital, I have to be transferred to the entire imperial capital's defense work." Kleiya did not hesitate to exchange information with Heliga. , "I can't help him too much... But His Excellency Regnitz is very superb. Even without my help, he should be able to do it easily."

"So...the terrorist threat is not groundless?" Kleiya's words confirmed Heliga and Olibate's concerns.

"Yes... You listened to His Royal Highness Olibate?" Kleiya thought a little and came to a conclusion easily, "Hehe...Although I intend to let the students in Group VII know about this... But at least it's still classified as secret information...please keep it secret from everyone, okay?"

"Wait, you won't be..." Heliga heard something in Kleiya's words-is this a hint that Class VII is involved in the security work to prevent terrorist activities?

"You two, what are you whispering about?" Alyssa, who is also a group B classmate and the group leader, looked very upset, "It's time to go."

"...See you later." Upon seeing this, Claire made a military salute and walked aside.

"Cut... the confusion passed." Heliga pouted and didn't get entangled--probably in the hearts of the students, he was just chatting with Claire casually, right? After all, the appearance of the iceberg beauty is really difficult to talk to, so the boys are probably very envious, and the girls' feelings are very complicated.

"It's the same on your side." Group A and Group B took their respective internship envelopes, encouraged each other, and set off along both sides of the Imperial City Street.

————————————————————————————

The content of the internship is much the same-for those students who have had internship experience. It has to be said that those responsible for providing internship tasks are either school directors or high-level leaders in business and political circles around the world-whether it is the selection or intensity of the task, it is just right-and it will not make people unable to persist. , It is not easy to solve. And while completing the internship content, you can always learn something new. After a few hours, everyone was tired, thinking repeatedly about the things encountered in the internship.

But-obviously all these tasks have not considered Heliga's sense of participation. Whether it is to assist in the management of the market, or to help the handicrafts in the handicraft shop, it is not an existential experience for Heilijia. Most of the time, he just stood there doing something.

What really caught his attention was a communication during the lunch break.

"Assemble at the gate of "St. Astellia Women's College"? Five p.m? Okay, I get it. "Sitting in a fast food restaurant on the side of the Imperial Plaza, Alyssa played with the fish and chips in front of her while listening to the communication there.

"Women's College?" Juses frowned. "What are you going to do there?"

"Where is that place?" Gaius was still humbly studying the traditions of the empire, and asking if he didn't understand was his good habit.

""St. Astraya"...is the most prestigious academic area in the Imperial Capital, the old women's college in Sanct District... where most aristocratic women from across the country gather, aiming to cultivate outstanding women who conform to the traditional values ​​of the empire... That's almost it. "

"I heard that the requirements for grades are very high...compared to Tolz." Emma said from the side, she had obviously asked about it.

"However, with the results of the monitor and Alyssa, it should still be easy to apply." Gaius nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Did you not listen to him? "Aristocratic women who conform to the traditional values ​​of the empire." Heliga snorted, "Values... are nothing more than the decadent set of operations of the nobility." "

"...You and Macias are the same?" Alyssa looked surprised. She and Heliga didn't usually communicate much. However, she still knew that Heliga's family had a noble background. It’s just that Heliga seems to have a negative attitude towards the aristocracy.

"Different from him... His prejudice against the nobility has reached the point of being out of thin air." Heliga denied, "I am different from him... I just want to make a case. Whether it's a corrupt noble or a radical reformer. The same idiot. Alyssa, leave it to you to think about it." Heliga's eyes lit up, "For me, women who are always independent and have their own ideas are the most attractive-not relying on With those empty shells cultivated by tedious etiquette."

"It's also biased." Euses put forward his own opinion. Heliga is obviously not the kind of stunned Macias. In terms of quarrels, Euses can't use the way to deal with Macias. Press, "There are also good parts in the traditional etiquette of the nobility... I know that your family probably doesn't pay much attention to these, which is nothing... But it cannot deny its full value."

"A person's character and ability are determined by his experience, growth environment, and acquired education-in this respect, the increasingly cumbersome etiquette education is indeed a drag on the development of the empire." Heliga smiled. Said, "At least simplify it a bit."

"Well, there will be an internship in the afternoon..." Emma said weakly. Although Heliga and Uss appeared restrained and calm when communicating, Emma still felt a little worried.

But in fact, her worries are unnecessary. In Heliga's eyes, Euses was simply an innocent elder brother—he hadn't experienced those things about himself, so he couldn't understand what he said. As for Juses...I believe that the students who have seen Cedric's fear of Heliga will not take the initiative to provoke such a strong person who does not know where to go.

"Squad leader--in fact, this question also involves you." But Heilijia didn't mean to end the topic. "It stands to reason that as a student with excellent grades-the Women's College has better teachers and hardware facilities. . Of course I know that you will definitely say that your experience in Tolz is irreplaceable-but objectively speaking, the problem of your background made you screened out by them in the first level, right?"

"..." Emma was silent.

"Of course, even so, the monitor can only accept this, because in any case, she cannot subvert this class gap, even if it sounds unfair. What about you, Alyssa?"

"Me?" Alyssa obviously didn't expect the muzzle to be turned to her suddenly, looking a little surprised.

"Yes-although it is not as good as the class leader, your admission score is definitely high." Helijia nodded, "It should be enough for you to apply here. But there is no doubt that even the "RF Agency" It is an emerging modern group that has a huge influence on society, because of the identity gap-you will also be rejected by them outside the door, do you understand this? "

"Yeah...what?"

"——Although I know you chose to escape from the house by yourself." As soon as Heliga said this, the other two people besides Gaius, who looked blank, couldn't help laughing. "But you have to admit that if someone and You are in a situation where you might be outraged by this unfair situation, right?"

"...Well, yeah... and unlike Emma, ​​if it were me, I could... ah..." Alyssa instantly understood what Heliga meant.

"Yes..."RF Club" is rich, has social influence, and can actually shake the basics of the country-if the situation just now occurs, and another lady who has the same conditions chooses to resist- -This is called "class struggle". And the example we are talking about is that emerging capital is fighting the old and stale feudal aristocracy-in the final analysis, it is because the development of guiding technology has improved the productive capacity of the entire society. "

""Class struggle" and "productivity development"..." The others tasted this sentence and pondered the meaning behind it.

"Class solidification-the core of this kind of thinking is to do what kind of people do. In such a society, there will be regrets that people are not met, and there will be idiots who are obviously incapable but have to be in a high position-in the long run, The weakening of national power is inevitable. In this sense, although I also think that Macchias is sometimes too radical...but indeed, the empire is a real aristocratic structure. Even if there are honest people among the aristocrats— —I can’t deny this, can I?"

"..." Juss was silent, obviously falling into deep thought.

"However, if you just have money, you won't necessarily be able to overthrow the noble class." Gaius raised his own question, "If I remember correctly... nobles all have their own private army."

"Yeah... The army is a violent organization used to maintain stability. So unless the whole country is in turmoil, it will be difficult to change such an increasingly locked structure. That's why I don't like reformers... I don't like Oss. The prime minister’s reason. He deliberately created disputes and riots, incited such antagonistic emotions, and tried to bring the empire out of the vicious circle of aristocratic rule--but in the end, many people were harmed by him. The empire was very important to neighboring countries and autonomous prefectures. Are all kinds of aggression really good things?"

"So it seems that the civil war...seems to be inevitable." Emma said this conclusion softly.

"Yeah... now it seems that the form is not quite right." Heliga nodded, Emma's reaction was still very fast, grasping the main point Heliga wanted to express, "When will it happen...I will not Clear."

"You actually understand this...Have you studied political science?" Uses was not talking to Heliga in an arguing attitude at all now. Although he knew that if he changed his elder brother Lufas, he might still be able to argue with this guy, but he couldn't help but he didn't have this ability, and he was almost convinced. He hit the point of the problem very accurately.

"Forget it... It's mainly personal experience." Of course, what Heliga is talking about here is Bernardo's experience of dealing with the rulers of Tamriel. "My father and a mentor of the Imperial College of Political Science used to have correspondence. , I also read a lot of it. It’s a bit regretful to speak of it. My father said that from some time a few years ago, he no longer had correspondence with his father."

"It's a pity...but I seem to understand...Politics is really complicated." Alyssa thoughtfully, "Thank you, Helika...These words are very enlightening."

"Just talk about it." Heliga scratched his head.

"Huh... I should let that guy listen." Juses snorted coldly, with a smile on his mouth. "If you can learn a one-and-a-half trick, you won't be choked by me every time you debate. "

"Haha... The relationship between the two is really good. Even during the internship, don't you forget Macchias?" Emma chuckles, somehow her cheeks are reddish, as if she thinks of something exciting.

"Huh... no one." And Juses's reaction stimulated Emma's reaction even more.

"What's the matter...?" Gaius, who was originally thoughtful, looked at the strange expressions of his classmates and fell into a state of doubt.
