Chapter 487 Rebirth From the Ashes: The Governor's Successor

For 14-year-old Jack Jonson, there are two places he dislikes the most in the world. One is the sewage room under the Governor's Palace, and the other is here, the study room. Perhaps compared to the former, he would rather Go into the sewers.

Young Jack was sitting in a large chair, resting his elbows on the table and turning his pen. There was a book in front of him, and his eyes were looking around boredly.

He was taking classes here to receive training as a "future governor". This was the arrangement given to him by Aunt Olivia. As her heir, he had the obligation and necessity to learn these things, but he didn't like it at all.

Not only because the content in the book was too boring, but also because of the teachers. The previous teachers were all old-fashioned and boring. They couldn't even stand Jack's little jokes and went to complain to his aunt, then resigned and left.

Didn't he just put thumbtacks in the chair and a bucket on the door? As well as lubricating them in the corridors and making them slam around in front of the entire mansion's servants.

But later, after another long chat, Aunt Olivia promised to find herself an interesting tutor and said she would be satisfied.

Then she found him.

"Okay, kid, have you seen enough of that bust? Don't worry, you will have many opportunities to see it in the future. Now tell me, what do the Holson family do?"

He spoke, and Jack looked across the table at the chair that had been raised so high that he could lean out from behind it.

Jack originally thought that his aunt would find him a more severe teacher, such as the archbishop of the Anglican Church, or one of those boring technical priests who were not afraid of pain or tickles, but she found another person for herself, who was equally interested in these things. Someone for whom tricks don't work.

His name is Morgrim Bronzebeard. He is short but strong and powerful. His thick arms are as thick as Jack's thighs. A thick beard hangs on his thick head, which is made of several golden copper rings. braid.

It was a dwarf, a space dwarf, Jack had heard they were quite rare already, but apparently not rare enough or his aunt wouldn't be able to find him.

"Okay, boy, tell me, if you want to see a woman's body, I can take you to the city later to have a good look." He grinned, and his beard swayed accordingly.

He was indeed very funny, Jack did not argue with this, he could make him laugh more than the previous tutors, and he enjoyed staying with Morgrim, provided that he was not in class.

"Mr. Morgrim, I should have remembered, I swear."

"Think again, kid, just like you just looked at that statue. Whose statue is it? Your fiancée's?"

"No, I'm not that nasty."

"Come here, it's not like I haven't read the books you hide in your kid's bedroom, and they are in really bad taste. You should read something good. I will find you some as a reward later. Now, tell me."

"The Holson family is mainly in the aviation industry, right?"

“The aviation industry there?”

"On the surface, I mean, ocean routes, not space voyages, they don't have a Rogue Trader license."

"Not yet, but maybe in the future they will want you to award one to them, remember kids, it will be useful." He smiled in his chair, "And besides, you get an award, you always need a little reward and motivation You can remember it, right?”

Jack smiled, he really liked Morgrim Bronzebeard.

He stroked his beard, leaned back in the chair and tapped the armrest, "Okay, now let's go to the next one, um, tell me Badavelka"

"Badavelka." Jack corrected his pronunciation.

"Yes, that's it. This family is really weird, isn't it? The name sounds like a devil. Now tell me, what does his family do? As a reminder, it's also related to the sea."

"This" Jack thought hard for a while, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mogrim, I really don't remember this."

"It's not surprising, his family's property is very rare and weird." Mogrim puffed his beard and stared, as if he was amused.

"They're in the sea monster business!"

"Sea monster?"

"Yes, sea monsters. The Badavelka family is engaged in space navigation. They will hunt the cruising void whales from the universe and drag them back to the dock for dismantling. The dissection of those big guys will take weeks. They will dig up Take out its internal organs, cut them open, and let the bile and bitterness flow to the ground. The taste is like "

"Eh! Stop talking, I'm about to vomit." Jack protested. Just thinking about that scene made him sick to his stomach. If he became the governor, he would never visit their place.

Mogrim laughed heartily and loudly, "Yes, a bunch of freaks, right? But their business is very valuable. The void whale's internal organs will secrete a chemical mucosa, which is an extremely Efficient power generation materials can provide bioelectricity for that big thing to fly across the star sea, so as to capture the changing trajectories of stars and choose the best route to migrate. "

"Often in a whole pod of whales, only a few leading whales have these substances, so the Badavelka family will spend a lot of time hunting them and then dissecting them."

"Who would be interested in this? From a group of dead bodies?" Jack asked curiously.

"Of course, the secretory mucous membrane of the void whale is quite valuable. It is the most efficient material for subspace navigation detectors. It can sense the subtlest spatial transformations and help sailors avoid storms. It is in short supply for merchants and navies, so Ba The Davelka family always makes a killing."

Mogrim Bronzebeard smiled and stroked his beard, then shrugged his broad shoulders, "Of course, we dwarves told them, otherwise how do you think these human brats know these things? He should It’s only right to pay us!”

"Teacher Mogrim, I heard that the hometown of the dwarves has been destroyed, right? I thought you had all been destroyed." Jack hesitated, but Mogrim still smiled.

"Been eaten? Indeed, those stinky Tyranids ate our homeland, as well as many dwarves. That's why those guys from the Bardavelka family were able to make huge profits like this."

"Of course, but there are still many dwarves who were sailing out at that time and were not eaten, such as me." He smiled, and there were several shining golden rings on his fingers, "But that is another story, I will I'll tell you, don't interrupt now, let's ask the next question."

"Hey, why do we have to learn these boring things here?" Jack complained, "I thought that as the governor, I should learn gun skills and sword skills, as well as mechas!"

Just thinking of those tall Titan Jack makes his eyes light up. There is nothing more romantic than this for a man.

"Mecha? Ha! I never thought that you would like to be one of those engine guys. Believe me, my son, Titan pilots are not that comfortable." He stroked his beard, "Sword and martial arts are important, no one can deny this. But they can’t fight those cunning guys for you.”

"Just like the Badavikar family, how are you going to use lasers or chain swords to deal with them? You need these things." The dwarf said and patted the book on the table, so hard that the table shook.

"Knowledge! They will arm you and let you know how to fight against those cunning poisonous snakes, just like your aunt did." He said seriously, "Just like guns need bullets, the passages in these books are what you need." of ammunition.”

Jack was still muttering complainingly, folding his hands and lying on the table to fiddle with his pen. Mogrim did not continue to scold him like the previous teacher, but smiled and leaned back in his chair and laughed.

"What's your girl's name? Wendy?"

"It's Wen Yanal, not that maid Wendy you always say has a big ass."

"Hey, what's the difference? Her butt is just as big. You have really good taste. Hey, that's a good one!" Mogrim patted his thigh and said. Jack raised his head in displeasure. He naturally He wouldn't like someone talking about his lover and fiancée like that.

Mogrim looked at that look and continued. He smiled and stroked his fluffy beard, "You don't like what I said, right? But what if someone not only said that, but also prepared to touch her butt or even hurt her? ? Jack, what should you do then? "

The dwarf smiled slightly, "This is why you have to learn this, child, arm yourself from the outside to the inside, so that you can protect her and yourself, do you understand what I mean? ?”

"Understood." Jack nodded and replied after a moment.

The dwarf also nodded, "Now, tell me, what does the Lassenia family do?"

"Wen Yaner's family is engaged in aerospace vehicles and aircraft in the atmosphere. It has been in the industry for hundreds of years." Jack replied. Naturally, he knew a lot about his fiancée's family industry. His first motorcycle, Even if it was given by Wen Yanar's father Watkins.

"A hundred years is not enough, Jack. The Wenyanale family is not prominent among the Victorian aristocracy, but now their little daughter has climbed to the top and will become the wife of the future governor, and even the mother of the future governor."

The dwarf said, "This has caused dissatisfaction among many people. Extremeness and resentment are dangerous. Jack, boy, now do you know why you have to remember this?"

Jack nodded.

"Very well, use your knowledge to make your wife's family business work for you and carry it forward to the point where no one can criticize her. Then no one will dare to talk about her ass again."

Morgrim laughed, and Jack couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Please, Mr. Morgrim, could you please stop talking about my future wife's butt?"

"Then you have to answer the next question." Mogrim said with a smile, but suddenly a knock on the door interrupted his words. Mogrim turned around and cursed with the vicious curse words of the dwarves.

The person outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then spoke again, "Teacher Mogrim, Governor Olivia invites you to go to the conference hall. She has something to ask you."

"Hmph." Mogrim patted his arms, and then jumped off the high chair. He landed solidly on the ground, spread out his hands, and smoothed his clothes.

"It seems that I have left for a while, so you can just read here, okay? I will test you again when I come back." He grinned, "If you get the answer right again, I will take you to the city for a fun trip. Before you get officially engaged and go to the grave of marriage!”

"That's enough, don't play tricks on me." Jack said with a smile, and stood up. Mogrim looked at him and smiled, then opened the door with slow but solid steps and walked out. After a moment, Jack threw Dropping the book, he stood up and walked to the door.

He twisted the door handle, as expected, but almost immediately Jack cast his eyes on the window of the study. He climbed out from behind the window with floating curtains, and climbed up the upper layer of the wall by stepping on the window sill.

Sounds like nothing? But if I tell you that under his feet is the height of the hive city, maybe you will change your view.
