Tyrant Code

Chapter 23

The girl just now was named Caddy Kellans.

Holding her dirty skirt, she cried and ran towards the center of the banquet hall.There, the lord's wife is entertaining guests from all walks of life with an elegant and decent smile.

"Auntie..." Kaidi ran to the lady of the lord with tears in her voice. Seeing his distressed appearance, the lady of the lord frowned subconsciously, covered her face with a fan, and said sideways: "Katie, are you what happened?"

"Auntie, it's that Gordo! He made my skirt look like this. You must punish him for me." Kaidi said with some resentment.

"..." The lord's wife was silent for a while, and asked, "What's going on?"

Caddy gave a rough account of what had just happened.

"It's okay that he dared to attend this kind of occasion openly, but he still cast some kind of automatic protection magic on his body... It made me look ugly in front of so many people... I absolutely can't swallow this breath." Kaidi twisted own skirt, said through gritted teeth.

When she looked up, she saw the lord's wife looking at herself with an idiotic look.

"Since he was born, he hasn't missed every birthday of the lord." The lady of the lord said, "On the contrary, it's you, Kaidi, this is the first time you came to the lord's birthday party, and you caused me so much trouble... ..."

Caddy Kailance has lived in other places with her father all year round, and this is indeed the first time she has been invited to the lord's birthday party.

Kaidi whispered unconvinced: "But isn't he an illegitimate child? You are the wife of the lord, don't you have the right to dispose of him? Last time you wrote a letter saying that he was locked up for several days..."

The lord's wife was a little annoyed, she hated Kaidi repeatedly revealing her scars - didn't she know that Goldo Moran was just an illegitimate child?But what could she do?

In the end, the lord's wife could only frown and warn Kaidi:

"Restrain yourself, don't be so frivolous. This is in the lord's castle!"

When Goldo and Brian approached the lord's wife, what they heard was the lord's wife's low and stern warning.

Goldo once again affirmed his judgment on the lord's wife. Although the character of the lord's wife is a bit overwhelming, she has a keen view of the overall situation - no wonder Casal Moran chose her as the lord's wife .

During the gap between Goldo's emotions, Brian had already walked up to the lord's wife and said, "Mother, hasn't father come back yet?"

"It's coming soon." The lord's wife complained absent-mindedly, "I don't know what he's doing, he won't even let himself go on a day like his birthday, and he won't come back until all the work has been dealt with... There are still several difficult guests waiting for him to meet—"

Brian asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, Roderick Harris." And Madam Zhu rubbed her brows, "Never mind, your grandfather also told you that the Harris family should not be offended easily... a relative who is a cardinal."

Burrien frowned: "This is my father's birthday, and this is our castle. No matter how aggressive and domineering Harris is, there should always be a limit."

"That's not the point." The lord's wife said impatiently, "People in the Harris family are rarely arrogant and domineering. But there is a saying among the people, 'a dog that bites does not bark'...The Harris family is In this way, they are sinister, vengeful, and aggressive. When you see them, you must remember to stay away."

Burrion frowned and said, "Do we have to receive this kind of people?"

"He is also a priest now, and he is expected to be promoted to the clerk of the vice president of the Holy See." The lord's wife rolled her eyes, "that is, his uncle's clerk."

"..." Brian was shocked by this naked nepotism, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"It's hard for our family to refuse such a person who comes to your door and wants to attend the lord's birthday party." The lord's wife held a fan in her hand and sighed softly, "But it doesn't matter, I still have a trump card. If It's fine for Harris to be sensible, if he doesn't..."

Gordon couldn't help but smiled slightly. He didn't expect Harris' popularity to be so bad. Even the lord's wife was planning to drive him away, as if sending off the plague god.

Soon, a guard informed that the lord had returned.

The lord's wife breathed a sigh of relief and secretly sighed thankful.

Soon, the lord came in wearing a dress.All the clothes on his body conformed to the specifications of his title, so he looked more dignified and luxurious than usual.The most eye-catching thing is still his pair of glacier-like blue eyes - looking at his indifferent but handsome face, many noble ladies present blushed silently.

...even the lord's wife.

The lord didn't look like he had finished his day's work at all, and he didn't feel a little tired all over his body. He walked to the middle of the banquet hall calmly, stood side by side with the lord's wife, nodded slightly, and said, "The banquet is arranged everywhere. Very well. Thank you, Doria."

The lord's wife snorted softly, but her body softly pressed against the lord's chest, took his arm actively, and said, "Who made me your wife?"

The lord's wife has a delicate and beautiful appearance, so even though she is already the mother of a teenage child, there is no sense of disobedience in doing these actions.

One of them has a cold personality and the other a hot one, yet they seem to be incomparably harmonious at the moment.

...It's just that it's important to ignore that the lord's wife gave Gordon a showy look when she did all this.Otherwise, this beautiful picture will collapse in minutes.

Goldo: "..."

Bo Lien said enviously from the side: "I also want to marry a wife who is in the same mood as me in the future."

Goldo: "How old were you before you started thinking about this kind of problem?"

Burrien argued that after the 12-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, he can start to choose his marriage partner, and it is not too early to start thinking about these.

Gordon twitched his mouth.

Oh, the evil feudal society.

He doesn't know about other noble children, just like Brian, are you sure they are choosing a marriage partner instead of playing house?

He sighed, and sincerely advised: "You should practice for a few more years."

"...Don't look down on me. Although I'm not as good-looking as you, and I'm not as powerful as you, there are still noble ladies who like me." Burrien seriously justified his name, and then he found his own The brother didn't intend to listen to what he was saying at all, and turned his head to look in other directions.

"Who are you looking for?" Brian asked.

"Look for my teacher." Gordon replied casually, although he was not sure whether Atrice would attend.

Yatricia is not afraid of Roderick Harris, but this does not mean that he is willing to take the initiative to bump into each other's head - on the premise that Roderick will attend this birthday party, Goldo believes that his The teacher will not appear here again.

Even Atricia had already given him the gift of congratulations, and asked him to pass it on his behalf.

The lord and the lord's wife went to deal with the guests present, while Goldo and Brian stayed where they were.Adults have adult social circles, and noble young masters and ladies also have their own social circles. After a while, several people of the same age as them came to chat, and their attitudes were at least much friendlier than the previous Kaidi.

They are all children of Casal Moran's subordinates, and some of them are even familiar with Gordo in some of their tones.It's a pity that Gordo has no previous memories. No matter what they said, they just responded with a faint smile, and only inserted a few words when they mentioned schoolwork or swordsmanship——

"Gordo, it feels like you haven't come out to play with us for a long time." A teenager said half jokingly and half complaining, "Are you really determined to become a priest?"

Most of these boys will inherit their father's career, and will either become knights or enter the army for training in the future.Gordo's appearance tends to be feminine. He doesn't look like a strong knight at all, but his swordsmanship is very powerful. Everyone thinks that he will definitely become a powerful knight in the future.

Although Goldo worshiped Attricia as a teacher, these children still did not believe that he would become a priest from the bottom of their hearts.

"...I'm not sure about that." Goldo replied after consideration, "This is because my recent classes are relatively busy, and I really don't have time to come out to play."

The teenagers had long heard of Attricia's reputation for being unkind, and they looked at each other for a while, and asked about Gordo's course schedule with some curiosity...

Then everyone fell silent at the same time.

Even Burrion opened his mouth slightly, and said in disbelief, "No way, Goldo... I thought your classes were only during the day, so you are also assigned classes at night?"

Gordon nodded of course.

"Then you go out so early and come back late every day, how can you still have time to practice sword?" Brian asked anxiously, "Is that how father looks at it?"

"...Every day I go to Mr. Atrium to spar with him for an hour. Although I was basically beaten unilaterally, it's considered sword practice." Goldo said.

Everyone: "..."

"I can't." One of the teenagers muttered to himself, "I would definitely not be able to do it."

"Stop talking about this, let's talk about something happy." Gordon changed the subject, and the teenagers understood and led the conversation in another direction. They were all young and active-minded kids. Not long after, Everyone's topic is completely distorted.

Just as they were discussing happily, a voice suddenly blended in.

"Can I join your conversation?"

The person who came was wearing a dark red robe, his hair was light golden, his appearance was ordinary but he exuded a gentle aura.Gordon turned his head just in time to catch a glimpse of his friendly eyes.

A little light on the other side's chest attracted his attention.

I saw a brooch quietly set on the dark red cloth.It was the cross star badge that Gordon was all too familiar with.It just looks slightly different.

Gordon instantly understood the other party's identity.

"Hello." He also smiled and replied gently, "Of course."

"I heard you were discussing theology courses just now?... Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to show off my knowledge based on my age. I'm just curious, where have you learned theology courses?" He asked.

This man seems to be someone who is engaged in religious affairs, and his status seems to be quite extraordinary.So the teenagers began to answer a certain chapter of "Genesis".Most people are still stuck in the first few chapters. If Brian hires a famous teacher to guide him, he can probably learn more than a dozen chapters.

Only Gordon did not answer.

After listening to the boys with a smile, the man tilted his head and asked Gordon, "What about you?"

Gordon was silent for a moment, and replied: "The Book of Messiah."

"..." The man's smile froze instantly.

"What about The Passion of the Lord, Proverbs, and Portico of the Holy Kingdom?" he asked.

"Except for "The Portico of the Holy Kingdom", I have finished all the others." Atrium complained that the book was too political, and he didn't know how much it had been tampered with by the Holy See, so he didn't let him focus on it.

"It's amazing to have such an achievement at your age... But learning theology needs to be done step by step, and you can't just take it easy... Have you memorized the two classics mentioned earlier?" The man said slightly He asked a little reproachfully, "Memorization is the most basic learning requirement for these classics."

Nonsense.Atrium said that these two classics can be regarded as the teaching materials for the previous year's courses in the seminary, but even the top students in the seminary, few can memorize these tomes literally and verbatim. In the end, most of what they memorized were relatively famous selections.

But Goldo is more honest.

He has a system of classics, so he simply memorized them all.

So Goldo nodded confidently: "I have indeed written it all down."

The man chuckled: "Really..."

So he randomly reported the beginning of the two paragraphs, and Goldo continued smoothly without blinking his eyes.

Under the man's gradually cold gaze, Goldo smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to recite the beginning for me. You can directly test my page numbers and paragraphs. I remember them all."

The corners of the man's tense mouth hooked, and he was willing to test him after hearing the words.So he smiled and asked, "Oh? Then try page 130, the second selection of your Proverbs, the fourth selection."

"...May I ask if this is a paragraph you chose at random?" Goldo glanced at him and asked curiously.

"No." The man said, "This is a paragraph that I found very meaningful after studying and reciting it."

Goldo: "Are you sure it's page 130 of Proverbs?"

Man: "Yes."

Goldo gave a meaningful "oh", called Ma Xiao who was standing aside, and whispered to him a few times, but he did not continue to endorse.

The man sighed, and then said earnestly: "I have said that it is impossible to learn theology overnight, let alone learn some miscellaneous works. What is the "Book of Messiah"? It has just been translated. , has not been verified by the Holy See, how can it be used as a textbook to learn..."

The Book of Messiah is one of the ancient works deciphered by Atrichia.

"No, you stop for a while. Wait for my guard to come back." Goldo said.

After the man was interrupted, a trace of displeasure finally appeared on his face: "What? What are you waiting for your guards to do?"

"I asked him to take out the "Proverbs" in my study for a pair." Goldo said calmly, he blinked at the man, and his eyelashes fluttered like a butterfly's wings with a smile For a moment, "I remember that page 130 of "Proverbs" is the preface of the new chapter... There are only two paragraphs, and there is no fourth paragraph at all."

The man's face froze for a moment, as if he was trying to remember, then he twitched the corner of his mouth and said quickly: "I was careless, maybe the layout of the books we use is different, I chose the original version... "

What I said is really ignorant enough.

If it is a derivative treatise on a theological masterpiece, of course there may be different page numbers due to different printed editions.But "Proverbs" is only one level lower than "Genesis". This kind of book has strict regulations on printing and editing. The position of each line and page is the same. When theologians write treatises Sometimes it is directly stated that some of the sentences they quoted are on several pages and lines of these works, which is convenient for readers to check.

... It seems that the man has never written any serious study related to Proverbs.

Perhaps he had learned this knowledge in the seminary, but after all, he had graduated from the seminary for many years and had forgotten all about it.

"So that's how it is." Goldo didn't intend to expose the lie that anyone with a brain knew was a lie, and gave the other party a step down in a good-tempered manner, "That's really a coincidence."

Everyone onlookers: "..."

"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet." Goldo asked as if he suddenly remembered something, "I have benefited a lot from the conversation with you today... If I hadn't held my father's birthday today Banquet, I probably haven't had the chance to meet someone like you yet."

The man frowned slightly, but still squeezed out a smile to respond to Gordon's compliment, but even Burrien could see a little displeasure and annoyance in that smile: "I'm glad to hear you say that. I'm from the imperial capital Roderick Harris."

"Gordo Moran." Gordon bowed slightly, as if he was really happy to meet Roderick today.Like Harris, he drew the sign of the cross reverently on his chest, "It's an honor to know you."

"Me too." Roderick Harris said, "Although I graduated from the seminary and just received an invitation to teach from the seminary not long ago, I have to say, Mr. Moran, you are One of the hardest working students I've ever met."

The two started blowing rainbow farts to each other.

But Goldo got a more important piece of information - Roderick Harris is going to teach at the seminary? !

... The temple is probably going to be finished.

Goldo thought so, and the other party began to praise his talent again.

Goldo replied somewhat absent-mindedly, oh, so-so, actually not as good as my teacher, Mr. Atrichia.

Roderick Harris: "…"

Roderick told Gordon with an expression that couldn't hold back any longer, that he had taken the initiative to chat the sky to death.
