“Because there are no opponents!”
“That’s why Ace doesn’t care about wasting time!”
Saying this, everyone looked at Lugh.
Lugh was very surprised. Why are you looking at me while talking?
He was listening to this information very seriously. Although he wasn’t very concerned about these things, it could help him better understand this world and better integrate into this world’s life.
That was why he was listening to them so carefully.
Rexton asked, “Thirteenth young master, you are the thirteenth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire. What do you think of Ace? Have you met him?”
Finally, someone brought up this matter.
Lugh pretended to be surprised.
“The thirteenth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire?”
Lugh looked at Rexton blankly. “Rexton, why do you think I am the thirteenth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire?”
Everyone was stunned when they saw Lugh’s stunned expression.
Rexton was also stunned. He asked in surprise, “Aren’t you the thirteenth Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire?”
“No.”
“Rexton, why do you think so? I don’t think I’ve ever said that I’m from the Xi Zhao Empire, right? Do you think that I’m the Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire just because I’m wearing the Xi Zhao Empire’s clothes?”
Lugh’s tone was very sincere, and there was also some surprise.
The others looked at each other in complete disbelief.
“Young master thirteen indeed did not say that he was from the Illumination Empire, much less that he was a prince of the Illumination Empire. Celt had asked young master thirteen if he was from the Illumination Empire. I remember that young master thirteen answered ‘h.e.l.lo, Celt’, but he did not answer.”
“Celt asked the thirteenth young master what his name was again, and the thirteenth young master’s answer was ‘thirteen’.”
“Then, it seemed that we all mistook the thirteenth young master for a Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire. We were indeed mistaken. The thirteenth young master has never directly said that he is the thirteenth prince.”
When these words came out, everyone was a little speechless. So they had made a mistake! It was a joke.
Lugh had a helpless look on his face. He sighed softly and said, “So that’s how it is. No matter where I go, no one talks to me. So they have mistaken me for a prince. I’m sorry. I’m really not a prince. I’ve disappointed all of you.”
“What kind of words are those?”
Rexton smiled and said, “It’s good that you’re not a prince. That way, we don’t have to worry and can chat more freely.”
Although they knew that Lugh was not a prince, no one dared to look down on him.
No matter how they looked at it, Lugh’s bearing and demeanor did not seem like those of an ordinary person.
“Rexton is right.”
Lorca smiled and said, “If you were a prince, there would be a lot of pressure for us to talk to you. After all, the Prince of the Xi Zhao Empire is incomparably n.o.ble and would never look people in the eye. He’s very proud. “It’s much better now. We can say whatever we want to say. We can get along as friends.”
“By the way, where are you from, Thirteenth Young Master?”
Hearing this, Lugh smiled and said, “I can only say that this is the first time I’ve come to the nine countries. Don’t ask anymore. It’s really not convenient to reveal it.”
As soon as Lugh said this, the scene immediately became quiet.
He wasn’t a prince, so everyone let out a sigh of relief.
But they never expected that.
Lugh’s ident.i.ty was even harder to imagine.
This was the first time he had come to the nine nations, and this was already very obvious. In the entire runic world, other than the nine great empires, there was only the heavenly battlefield.
In other words, Lugh had come from the heavenly battlefield.
Who were those people who could live on the heavenly battlefield?
At the very least, they were powerful rune-masters or the clansmen of these rune-masters.
Everyone who came out of the heavenly battlefield was extremely powerful.
The rune-masters of the heavenly battlefield were even more powerful, especially the twelve guardian rune-masters.
Seeing that Lugh’s temperament and image were so good, he wasn’t like the other people who had come out of the heavenly battlefield. They had all been filled with killing intent.
They guessed that Lugh’s background was definitely not simple. It was very likely that he was a powerful rune-master or an elder. It was terrifying to imagine.
Even the king of the empire had to be respectful to such a figure.
As for them, they were not even qualified to inquire about it.
That was why Lugh had been very tactful in saying that it was inconvenient to reveal other things.
“No worries, no worries.”
Rexton quickly smiled and changed the topic. “Since it’s the thirteenth young master’s first time here, he won’t be very familiar with many things. Lorca, aren’t you known as a know-it-all? Quickly explain the situation in the nine great empires to the thirteenth young master.”
They very consciously did not mention Lugh’s ident.i.ty.
After Lorca heard Lugh’s words and learned that it was his first time in the nine countries, he already regretted what he had said before, now, he could not wait to change the topic and say something else. “The nine countries are actually not that different, and there’s nothing much to say. If you want to talk about it, let’s talk about the rune academies.”
“Every empire will have a rune school. The most famous and powerful one is the Rune School of the Xi Zhao Empire. “Each year, it will recruit no more than 500 students from the rune world, accounting for half of the total resources of the nine nations’ education. “On average, each student will spend more than a million gold coins a year on education, and it is publicly recognized as the number one school of the human race
“The enrollment method is very fair. As long as you can pa.s.s the examination, you will be admitted to the rune school.”
