Chapter 605 History of Marriage Bonds

All along, it was this old man who was self-righteous and kept talking.

Finally, Lei Luo, who had initially understood the situation here, finally spoke.

"I heard that there were many people hiding in caves and caves near Fort St. Granville, waiting for rescue. Some of them have even become the safe havens and secret bases of many powerful scholars. Why is the academy..."

"Who did you listen to? You're crazy!"

The old man was startled and tried his best to signal Lei Luo to shut up.

"You!!!"

As if he hated iron, he took out his pipe, rolled his eyes and said, "I've never seen you before. Were you from the academy before?"

"Uh...yeah."

Lei Luo nodded in response.

Scholars are generally divided into two categories, the academic faction and the family inheritance faction.

In the Principality of Glen before the wasteland, although the academic scholars led by the Royal Academician Committee accounted for the main part of the principality, there were still some family-herited scholars who followed the inheritance of knowledge for thousands of years and did not treat scholars as a profession. It's just the interest of the nobles.

"No wonder, my brain is so unclear!"

The old man said in a strange way.

"What's wrong?"

Lei Luo asked still looking puzzled.

"Hmph, don't even think about what happened more than ten years ago! The big devil who was once the Royal Academician Committee of Glen was wreaking havoc on the Principality of Glen. He had the blood of many nobles on his hands. This guy was killing and cleaning up city after city. There are nobles of all sizes, and the three deans are orthodox noble inheritance scholars. It’s too late to hide now, so how can we take the initiative to contact them?”

Smashing his pipe, the old man groaned: "Even Vladik's pioneer disciple, Master Serratos, fell under that man's power. What can the three deans do? Who else can restore the principality now?" ?Why……"

Feeling a little lonely, the old man shook his head.

Lei Luo raised his eyebrows. He was not angry because of the old man's abuse. Instead, he could read the situation here from his body, reflecting the loneliness, helplessness, and fear behind the three deans here.

From the initial fear and hatred of myself, hiding from myself, to now, I am surrounded by loneliness, separated from the mainstream, and gradually forgotten.

"I almost forgot about these inherited nobles."

After learning about the hatred, fear, and avoidance of people here towards him, Lei Luo did not cause any emotional waves, and did not even feel the slightest anger or guilt towards the people here.

Lei Luo never regretted anything he had done.

He firmly believes that everything he does is meaningful, on the right path, and a necessary price for the advancement of civilization, even if it is not understood by most people.

As civilization develops and advances, it must pay a corresponding price!

therefore.

Lei Luo has never doubted his choice, so naturally he will not have any strange emotions because of it.

Just like Ben Nivens on the stake, pioneers must have the courage to chop thorns and vines on the road to explore the truth, and not be swayed by any difficulties and obstacles. Noble people never need to be sympathized with or understood.

"Okay, I see you have seen it, go up quickly, this is not the place you should be, if other scholars see it, don't say I broke the rules!"

The old man urged Lei Luo to leave.

"Oh, I see."

Lei Luo didn't say anything more.

After looking around, he did not choose to go back the way he came. Instead, he came to the elevator and took the elevator in the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Click, click, click, click.

Amidst the sound of metal gears turning, the elevator took Lei Luo across the mountain passages one by one.

There were neatly displayed weapons and equipment, idle people playing chess, and a sealed hydroponic room. After a while, they finally reached the top of the mountain and stopped with a "thud".

call……

On the top of the mountain, a moist breeze full of water vapor caressed my face.

On the top of the mountain but in front of the tall tower, there is a wide square where several seagulls are flying freely. There are even a few idle scholars strolling around feeding the seagulls. Seeing this, Lei Luo can't help but slowly close his eyes. His eyes and every pore in his body seemed to be relaxed, enjoying a moment of peace, as if he had returned to the Moon Lake.

"Are you a new student?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from behind Lei Luo.

He looked back and saw a girl with a little baby fat, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her arms spread wide, enjoying the breeze on the top of the mountain, with a satisfied smile.

"Um."

Lei Luo responded.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the girl smiled and said: "I knew it! Hehe, which family are you from and where do you come from? You can't come up from below, right? I've been here for almost half a month. Yes, you are still the first guy I have seen here who is weaker than me, and you don’t have any energy magnetic field in your body. Could it be that you haven’t generated energy induction yet?”

Um?

In addition to female slaves, it seems that apprentices from other science academies are also being introduced here?

But just now in the heart of the mountain, we clearly saw so many professional soldiers, numbering at least several thousand. Why not obtain a reliable source of enlightened apprentices by cultivating these soldiers?

"The Ridge Family, Vladik."

Lei Luo's voice was short and seemed a little cold. He borrowed Aoun's family and made up a lie casually.

"Wow, you're from the Ridge Family!?"

The girl seemed to have heard of the Shanji family, and said excitedly: "I come from the Lanling Huihua family, and my maternal grandmother once came from the Shanji family, so I heard a lot about the glorious history of the Shanji family. I didn't expect that we are still distant relatives. Maybe I’m still your cousin! By the way, how old are you and why did you come here from Vladik Academy of Sciences? It is said that the conditions there in Vladik are much better than here! "

Lei Luo was not surprised at all that after Lei Luo mentioned the Shan Ridge family, the girl's family actually had a marriage relationship with the Shan Ridge family.

For thousands of years, the nobles of the Principality of Grant have married each other, forming an almost airtight and huge network of relationships. Under this power, not to mention the scholars whose resources were subject to imperial power, even the Saint Grant Castle Even the Cathedral of Light can hardly shake the interests involved.

It looks like a huge spider web.

Through nobles with different titles, the power is extended to every corner of the principality.

Everything from the fertile farmland of each village to the principality's mineral veins, mountain roads, airports, and the power center of the Academy of Sciences are all firmly controlled by nobles of all sizes.

As for the other party not seeing Lei Luo's age, it was natural.

Lei Luo is accustomed to wearing a simple bachelor's uniform, which is very common in other science academies, but in the Science Park on the other side of the Blue Lake, it seems that only the lowest scholars do so.

Here, the higher the scholar, the more exquisite the academic uniform. The academic uniform is decorated like a noble dress, and is even embroidered with the traditional family emblem. In this way, Lei Luo, who is wearing a simple academic uniform and wearing an X mask, the other party It makes sense that he can't recognize Lei Luo's age.

Lei Luo sighed: "The greenhouse cultivation shed of Vladik Academy of War Sciences has suffered from radiation contamination, and food production has dropped sharply. I was afraid that it would be difficult to survive this year, so I came here."

The girl suddenly understood and began to talk about her previous life at the Corleone Institute of Biological Specimen.

More than ten years ago, after Lei Luo suddenly raised a revolutionary butcher knife against the nobles of the principality, some scholars who identified with the concept of this terrible scholar actually established mysterious organizations and began to assassinate nobles from various places.

Suddenly, the nobles who once dominated and lived a prosperous life were in danger, until the battle between Corleone and Lei Luo.

Few people know the outcome of that battle, but most people tend to believe that Corleone lost.

the reason is simple.

The terrible devil was still alive and even started to rebuild the Gran Academy of Natural Sciences with great fanfare. Corleone never pursued him again.

Even so, the Corleone Institute of Biological Specimen Science has become the safest refuge in the hearts of many nobles, and they have migrated there to avoid the assassination of ubiquitous scholars. The Lanling Huihua family where the girl belongs migrated and took refuge at that time. One of the family.

"Why."

When talking about why the girl came to the Academy of Sciences on the other side of the Blue Lake, the girl sighed.

"He is the child of the evil devil. He returned to the Corleone Institute of Biological Specimen Science with his wife. His wife is the granddaughter of the Corleone pioneer. The family is worried that something will happen to the Corleone Biological Specimen Laboratory in the near future, so they let him I came here to take refuge first.”

Unconsciously, the afternoon sun became no longer so gentle, and the dark red of the sunset was full of anxiety, telling of the coming dangerous night.

The girl seemed to have forgotten her troubles because of the afternoon chat.

"By the way, what is your name and where do you live now? Let's go back together."

What an innocent girl.

"My name is Ornn, Ornn Ridge."

Lei Luo responded with a smile, borrowed Aoun's name, and shook his head to reject the girl's proposal to go back together.

"I have to attend the auction for a while, so I won't go back together."

"Hello!"

After the girl looked stunned, she said angrily: "The Ridge Family is an ancient family with a long and glorious tradition. Even if it is in decline, you can't just buy a female slave and leave a family heir, right? If you need to marry, , I can introduce you to a few of my sisters. Although their family is far inferior to the Ridge family, it is still better than those female slaves who polluted your bloodline and degraded your status."

Lei Luo was not surprised by the girl's innocent words without any disguise.

Bloodline and history are the important links that the nobles have maintained with each other for thousands of years. They govern the power system of the Principality of Gran. Even the faith of the Holy See cannot have an impact on this.

It was not until after the doomsday catastrophe that Lei Luo used scientific exploration of beliefs and violent methods to unite some radical scholars and create a new order system, and then gradually destroyed this deep-rooted interest relationship.

A civilization system based on truth and scientific knowledge as a belief in exploration is completely replacing this traditional bond of interests and becoming the new support for human civilization in the radiation wasteland.

Seeing Lei Luo's indifferent look, the girl groaned.

"Hmph, I thought you were very interesting at first, but now I don't like you at all. You are another degenerate guy. You have ruined the glory of the great Ridge Family!"

After saying that, the girl turned and left.

At this moment, Lei Luo suddenly understood the true meaning of the motto of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences, respecting teachers and passing on the legacy from generation to generation.

Scholars must use the concept of knowledge inheritance to separate themselves from the traditional aristocratic marriage and interest ties and become a brand new interest group.
