Chapter 27: Training, I'll Teach You
"Your Highness, please stand over here." The guard uncle took Ming Nuo aside. "From time to time, things will fall out from here. It will hurt if you get hit. You must be very careful."
Ming Nuo has such delicate skin and tender flesh that if she were touched, she would probably cry on the spot.
The guard thought secretly in his heart, looking at the little prince who obediently listened to him and moved to the ground, he suddenly wanted to reach out and touch his little head, how could he be so obedient!
He couldn't help wanting to touch His Highness's head!
Ming Nuo had no idea that the guard uncle beside him was engaged in a fierce mental battle in his heart. He focused all his attention on the noisy parliament hall.
There was a fierce noise inside, like a big fight going on.
Ming Nuo couldn't help but worry about his brother's safety, and subconsciously moved closer to the gate. Seeing that the guard uncle had no intention of stopping him, he bravely stuck his little head out to take a look into the hall.
In what should have been the most serious and solemn meeting in the empire, every member of parliament was arguing fiercely with red faces. Several members had even stepped on the round table and expressed their views with reason.
At the same time, he had to keep one hand free to fight with the opponent who was trying to pull him off the table.
"Raise commercial taxes?! If you bring that up again, everyone will run away. Then you'll be pushing carts around the streets trying to sell things to boost consumption! You should just reduce the research and development costs at the research institute. They're producing absolutely no useful results all day long."
"You still dare to touch the R&D funds? When a fight breaks out, will you pick up a bench and smash the enemy to death?!"
"Then tell me what to do. You don't have any useful suggestions all day long. If you have no idea, go back and repeat your studies for a few years before coming back!"
"My brain is empty? You, a fool who's at the bottom of the class, dare to compete with me in intelligence? Let me tell you, you idiot, not only do I have a higher IQ than you, I'm also better than you in terms of my skills!"
After a disagreement, the two old men with gray hair started fighting with agility. In the entire parliament hall, only his brother and sister Finilte maintained the most basic decency.
The others continued to fight, but they all kept a certain distance from Zelphis tacitly. When they threw shoes or smashed cups, they always paid attention to his position to avoid accidental injury.
Zelphis seemed to be accustomed to this kind of chaotic scene. He leisurely drank a cup of tea and waited for the group of people to finish quarreling before having a proper discussion.
Finilte lay on the table, blocking out the chaotic scene around her. She chatted with someone on the intelligent computer with a smile on her lips, and dodged the unidentified object that was heading straight for her head.
Ming Nuo was staring at the scene from outside the door, as if something sacred in his heart was shattered at this moment. He remembered that the last meeting he saw was not like this.
Dillon was used to this. "They're arguing again, huh? Really? If it weren't for the Imperial Current Affairs Conference, these people wouldn't even bother pretending."
Ming Nuo was shocked, "Do they quarrel often?"
"Fighting is not uncommon." The sound effects of Dillon's game would occasionally play, and he explained to Mingnuo, "Those who didn't have enough fun in the meeting would arrange to fight privately. Three years ago, it escalated to a group brawl, and they were taken away by law enforcement. It was your brother who rescued them."
Dillon could never forget the complex expression on Zelphis' face when he heard that the entire parliament had been wiped out by his own law enforcement agency. He was speechless, but he couldn't get rid of this group of idiots.
So when faced with this small scene, Dillon didn't take it seriously at all. "This is all parliamentary tradition, nothing unusual."
What seemed unremarkable to Dillon actually gave Ming Nuo a huge shock. How could he ever look directly at the so-called imperial elites in the future?!
"Lorian?" Zelphis turned his head and saw a small snow-white head peeking out. A smile flashed across his eyes and he waved to Mingnuo, "Come here."
Finilte was sitting next to him. When she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Mingnuo who was standing by the gate with her blue eyes.
Seeing that his brother had discovered him, Mingnuo tiptoed into the council hall, carefully dodging the flying drafts, and walked to Zelphis, "Brother."
Zelphis pulled up a chair and asked Mingno to sit next to him, and asked him casually, "How was the class?"
"Very good, I listened to the class and did the exercises." Ming Nuo sat obediently next to his brother and shared with his brother what happened in class amid the noise.
Zelphis listened attentively, and Finilte asked a question or two from time to time. The two of them listened patiently to Mingnuo's story of these trivial matters.
Only when the parliamentarians were tired of fighting and their voices were hoarse did they calm down a lot and finally sit in their respective seats, waiting for His Majesty to make the final decision. At the same time, they glared at their political enemies.
Suddenly, they discovered that there was another person beside His Majesty.
"The little prince is here."
The first person to notice Mingnuo was a congressman who was about the same age as Grandpa Fudi. Half of his hair had turned white, his eyes were full of wrinkles, and he looked particularly kind when he smiled.
It was the congressman who was thrown out of the hall just now.
Before Mingnuo could say anything, Finilte placed her hand on his shoulder and stared at the councilman with her pale eyes, "Well, he came to see me. After all, I am his sister."
The smile on Councilman Edmont's face froze. Mingnuo felt that he was about to cry, but Councilman Edmont held back, smiled at Mingnuo, and turned back to his seat.
Ming Nuo looked at Finilte blankly: "Sister?"
Finilte pinched his cheek and said, "Don't mind him, he's just an old bastard."
This was said in a low voice, and Ming Nuo was frightened, fearing that the two would fight.
But Councillor Amont glanced over here angrily and angrily took a big gulp of water.
Mingnuo's sudden appearance attracted many people's attention. The parliamentarians secretly cast a glance at him. Most of them had attended the funeral more than ten years ago.
Although I now know that His Highness Lorian is not dead, the person he mourned for before is sitting next to me, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially those old men who cried their hearts out at the funeral, they could see the embarrassment in each other's eyes when they looked at each other.
But the young parliamentarians did not have this awkward mentality at all. Their eyes were clearly on Mingnuo. This little prince was different from the other Perseus princes. He did not have the oppressive feeling brought by the high-level mental power.
He was so harmless and docile that he didn't seem like Perseus at all, and it made you want to poke his soft cheeks.
Ming Nuo noticed the gazes of the people around him, his cheeks flushed as he silently lowered his head and moved his chair closer to his brother.
After more than ten minutes, this meeting that was comparable to a farce finally ended. Ming Nuo couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he lay idly on the table and watched a silent movie with Ti Lung.
After most people in the council hall had left, Zelphis patted Mingnuo on the shoulder and said, "Let's go."
Mingnuo paused the movie amid Dillon's protest, and looked around with his aqua-blue eyes. Only Finilte remained by his side.
Finilte stood up and touched Mingnuo's soft hair. "Come home for dinner when you have time. Mom misses you very much."
Ming Nuo hadn't seen Aunt Dilina for a while, so he nodded and said, "I miss Auntie too."
After saying goodbye to Finilte, Zelphis brought Mingno to the training room. This training room was previously built specifically for the Perseus royal family. The walls have been specially treated to prevent the risk of collapse.
But even so, the walls still had scratches and damage of varying degrees, and the powerful and murderous mental power remaining in them was enough to make people of lower levels feel uncomfortable.
Ming Nuo changed into a light combat uniform, revealing his snow-white skin. He looked around in confusion, and finally his eyes fell on his brother opposite him.
Zelphis was a full head taller than Mingno. The incandescent light above illuminated his sharply defined features. His golden eyes gazed calmly and indifferently at his overly young brother. "I'll teach you the practical lessons from now on."
Ming Nuo couldn't help but think of the duel between him and his brother in Anka Garden. His arms trembled slightly, as if he still remembered the shadow brought by the disparity in strength.
"You are too weak now." Zelphis swept his limp arm, "Lorian, you must be able to protect yourself."
Ming Nuo certainly knew this. His family members could not be with him all the time, and he was the weakest among his family and friends, so he always needed someone to protect him.
When Ming Nuo thought of this, his eyes dimmed for a moment. He didn't want to be a burden to others forever.
"I know, brother."
Mingnuo secretly made up his mind and mobilized the lazy mental power in his body. The small tassan stone bell on his wristband instantly took shape into a long sword. He gripped the hilt tightly and looked up at Zelphis.
At the moment when the sword blades wrapped in spiritual power collided with each other, Mingnuo almost couldn't hold the hilt. His fingertips turned white and his eyes were stubborn as he swung the sword at Zelphis again.
This was the scene Seren saw when he arrived.
When he opened his eyes in the study room, everyone around him had disappeared, which left Seren stunned for a long time.
…It seemed that he always felt sleepy when he was with Lorian.
Without time to think, Seren hurried to find Grandpa Fodi, only then did he know that Mingnuo had followed Zelphis to the training room.
Seren did not disturb them, but just stood in front of the training room door, quietly watching Zelphis patiently instructing and correcting Mingno's movements.
Teach Mingnuo how to protect himself and how to kill his opponents with one blow.
Zelphis is a very good teacher, perhaps because he once lived in a very loving family, and his emotions are also rare in the Perseus family.
Seren couldn't help but think about what it would be like if their father, Mingnuo's grandfather, came to teach Mingnuo.
Probably on the first day, he was thrown onto a deserted planet to survive in the wilderness.
"Raise your arm a little higher, and keep your sword hand steady, don't shake it."
Zelphis guided Mingnuo and demonstrated the correct method to him. In just half an hour, Mingnuo made rapid progress and at least he could hold the hilt of the sword for more than ten seconds.
But the gap in strength between the two was too big. Even if Zelphis didn't use his mental power at all, Mingnuo was powerless to resist. He was so tired that he was panting, and sweat wet the loose hair on his forehead into clumps.
Nearly an hour later, Zelphis put away his sword and sensed Mingnuo's mental power. It was still surprisingly steady, without any fluctuations.
Zelphis lowered his eyes to hide the expression in them, and led Mingnuo to sit on the bench. "Rest for a while."
Ming Nuo instantly lost all his strength and leaned back in his chair. Because of the excessive physical exertion, his fair cheeks became red, as if he had put on blush. He took a moment to calm down before asking, "Brother, am I useless?"
The disappointment in his tone could no longer be hidden.
Ming Nuo was like a lamb whose fur was wet by the rain. He lowered his head in frustration and suddenly felt so useless.
——Studying is useless, physical fitness is extremely weak, and mental strength is useless and dispensable.
Suddenly, a warm hand gently touched Mingnuo's head and rubbed it. Mingnuo was stunned for a moment and looked up at his brother. His eyes were still slightly red, and his blue eyes were watery, making him look pitiful.
"I don't think you're useless." Zelphis lowered his eyes and looked at Mingnuo, telling him seriously, "Ankh Garden has only been attacked twice since its establishment, and you were there in both attacks."
"He was taken away from us when he was just one year old, but he has lived happily until now. Then he met human traffickers and was taken back to Ephir..."
At the end, Zelphis sighed, looked at Mingnuo with appreciation, and told him, "Lorian, you've been great."
For Mingnuo, it is a great blessing to be able to live safely until now.
Ming Nuo rubbed his eyes and snorted, "But, but I still can't learn physics and chemistry well. Although Brother Zhining didn't scold me, I know I can't meet his expectations. He didn't call me stupid because of Dad's face."
In fact, Mingnuo knew everything in his heart, but he didn't tell anyone. Today he just told his brother secretly.
Zelphis held onto his wrist and wiped his tears with a clean tissue. His voice was low and gentle, and he patiently coaxed Mingnuo, "You've only officially started learning today. Wouldn't it be nice to give yourself some time?"
Seren handed Mingnuo a glass of his favorite grape juice. His face was expressionless, but his eyes showed his concern for him. "Don't worry, we will protect you anyway."
The reason why Mingnuo is asked to learn to protect himself now is simply because they are worried that they will die before Mingnuo. By then, Mingnuo will be alone and can only grit his teeth and swallow his anger if he is bullied.
That won't work.
Ming Nuo also knew that he was a little too impatient, so he said thank you to his uncle and sipped the juice in small sips. His anxiety gradually dissipated in the sweet juice.
At this moment, Grandpa Fudi suddenly appeared and called out "Your Majesty" outside the door, "The patriarch of the Flynn family requests an audience."
Aunt came to see him? Ming Nuo subconsciously thought it was Dilina who came when he heard this.
Just when Mingnuo thought he could meet his aunt, Zelphis indifferently refused the meeting, "No."
Ford seemed to have anticipated this result and was not surprised. He turned around to inform Chief Flynn.
"Aren't you going to see Auntie?" Ming Nuo asked in confusion. He looked at Zelphis's expression and said, "Brother, did you have a fight with Auntie?"
"It's not my aunt," Zelphis told him, "it's the rest of the Flynn family. Lorian, only my aunt and Finilte are our relatives in the Flynn family. Don't worry about the others."
Ming Nuo was stunned. Although he didn't know why, he nodded after his brother said so. "Yeah, I understand."
After more than ten minutes of rest, Mingnuo's strength recovered. He stood up and said to his brother, holding the hilt of his sword, "Let's do it again!"
In the next few days, Mingnuo studied theoretical knowledge with Wen Zhining in the morning, and went to the training room to practice actual combat after class.
Sometimes his brother would accompany him, but when his brother was too busy to take care of it, his uncle would take over. Archer originally wanted to take on this glorious task, but was directly rejected by Mingnuo.
He didn't want to be knocked unconscious by his second uncle's slap.
Uncle Birdwin is better than Uncle Two.
At least Uncle Birdwin just said that he was a bleating lamb, and when he was angry he only got a little angry. His words were not very aggressive and were still within Mingnuo's acceptable range.
Under the guidance of his elders, Mingnuo's strength has increased dramatically. Although the role of his mental power is really limited, he is no longer the little loser who falls down with a single poke.
Of course, in Fodi's eyes, the little prince is obviously already super good. In the ranking of mental power, Perseus should be singled out and placed at the top of the pyramid.
Mingnuo's mental lethality cannot reach the level of Perseus, but it is obviously already A-level. In addition, he is not yet an adult. If he were in the outside world, he would probably be a little genius that everyone is chasing after.
But in the eyes of the Perseus elders in Minno, he was as harmless as a newborn lamb.
Alas... Grandpa Fudi shook his head. In a sense, the little prince was also quite miserable.
On Friday night, Ming Nuo was eating and thinking about the questions his teacher had given him when he suddenly heard his brother say, "You don't have classes tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It's your rest time."
Ming Nuo was immediately surprised when he heard this and asked, "Really? Really? Then can I go out and play tomorrow?"
Zelphis glanced at his AI and nodded readily, saying, "Well, go ahead."
Mingnuo couldn't wait to call Sedwick out to play, and suddenly he asked his brother for his opinion: "Can I take Baimian with me? Sedwick hasn't seen Baimian yet. I want to bring Baimian to him to see. We will definitely take good care of it."
Zelphis couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Although he had long known that Mingnuo and Sedwick had a good relationship, he was very unhappy that Mingnuo was going to bring his favorite lamb to Sedwick to see him and take care of the lamb together with him.
Not only Zelphis felt uncomfortable, but the other three, Birdwin, also looked at Mingnuo silently.
Aqir snorted directly, "Why bring it to him? Can't he walk over and see it himself since he has no legs? Why do you have to go through the trouble of carrying the sheep to show him?"
"Because he is my good friend, I want to share my favorite lamb with him." Mingnuo didn't understand why his second uncle was so hostile to Sedwick, but he explained seriously.
Then he looked at Zelphis, "Is it okay, brother?"
Zelphis met Mingnuo's hesitant blue eyes and couldn't bring himself to refuse. "Well, take it with you."
Ming Nuo was overjoyed, "Thank you, brother!"
Then he couldn't wait to send a message to Sedwick: "Can we go out together tomorrow? I can also bring Baimian out to show you. It's really cute. When you see it tomorrow, you will definitely like it."
Sedwick responded quickly, "Okay, where are we going?"
Ming Nuo thought about it, but he had been to too few places to make up his mind. "You decide."
After the two of them agreed on where to go, Ming Nuo smiled. As soon as he raised his head, he saw four pairs of golden eyes staring at him.
Ming Nuo was silent and looked at them in confusion. He felt that the way his brothers looked at him was... strange.
