Chapter 324: The Innocent Gothe
The cultural atmosphere of this world is not like the country where Gothe lived in his previous life, where humility is the etiquette and reservedness is the tradition.
In Nolan Continent, it is natural for talented people to show off some things, and they will not be criticized at all.
How can a young genius not be full of energy?
It is only through strong energy that we can be brave and diligent.
Of course, people who are talentless and crazy are disgusting no matter what cultural atmosphere they are in.
In short, after his amazing performance, Gothe's self-confidence as a "genius" did not arouse anyone's dissatisfaction.
The re-examination is still going on.
But for the four examiners, there were no additional surprises.
The performance of the remaining mages was mediocre, and naturally none of them could pass the assessment and join the Sea Sentinels.
Page Even Gothe discovered that the mages who were thrown onto the deck by Paul after he participated in the assessment had more or less suffered some flesh injuries, and were not as safe as before.
——It seems that Paul vented his dissatisfaction just now on these mages.
Gothe silently lamented for them in his heart for a second.
"This re-examination is over. Except for the mage Gaode, everyone else has failed the re-examination and can go back first."
Seeing that all the mages had gone into the water to fight with Paul, Warrant Officer Xilin stood up and announced the final result loudly.
When the mages heard this, a trace of loneliness flashed across their faces, but the result could not be changed.
They could only take another reluctant look at the scene on the ship and the four examiners wearing sea sentinel uniforms, and then retreated in twos and threes.
In the blink of an eye, Gothe was the only one left standing there alone on the deck that was originally bustling with more than thirty mages taking part in the re-examination.
Warrant Officer Xilin took a step forward and said to Gao De: "Congratulations first, you have passed the assessment to join the Sea Sentinel, and you will be a colleague from now on."
Gao De faced the four examiners, bowed slightly, and politely said: "Thank you, all mages."
"I won't beat around the bush with you. Although you passed the examination, your origins still need to be investigated clearly."
Warrant Officer Xilin smiled, but his eyes were a little more careful, "After all, the place of your birth, the Principality of Xi'en, has become the Xi'en Province of the Holy Empire."
"The Holy Empire's influence on We, the Plantagenet Dynasty, have been coveting you for a long time and are very ambitious. Although you have come from the Xi'en Province, although there are no suspicious signs and have passed the naturalization interrogation, it is still possible that you are sent by the Holy Empire. "
Warrant Officer Xilin said while observing Gothe's face, as if he wanted to see any subtle changes in his expression.
If you just recruit Gaode into the sea sentries regularly, it's actually nothing.
After all, Sea Sentinel has many members, and occasionally recruits a few newcomers with vague backgrounds. Even if their origins are not so clean, it actually won't make any big waves.
The problem is that Gaode has shown his amazing potential.
Such a seedling must be cultivated after being recruited.
Under this premise, the origin of Gaode has become a top priority.
It is necessary to find out Gaode's background before making subsequent arrangements.
Gaode was very calm about Warrant Officer Xilin's "reminder".
Because he has nothing to do with the Holy Empire and is not afraid of shadows, so why should he be afraid of this investigation?
"As it should be." He replied calmly.
"Then you go back and wait. After our investigation is clear, we will notify you to report," Warrant Officer Xilin asked: "Is it okay?"
"I have no objection."
The person in charge of the selection of sea sentries is Captain Merrick, a senior three-ring battle mage.
Haiyuan White Tower.
On the second floor, outside Captain Merrick's room, in the quiet corridor, a clear knock on the door suddenly sounded
"Come in." Merrick's clear voice came out.
The door of the room was pushed open, and Warrant Officer Xilin pushed the door open and walked in with neat steps and a thick roll of parchment in his hand.
"Captain Merrick, the moral thing I told you before has come to light." As soon as he entered the door, Warrant Officer Xilin directly explained his purpose, with a serious look in his eyes.
Merick is an old man who looks very kind.
Him He was injured in a battle with sea beasts in the early years, which damaged his origin. Since then, it has been difficult to upgrade the mage level.
However, because he had a lot of credit and was injured at work, he was later promoted to a captain-level mage.
Merick has retired from the front line in recent years. He is mainly responsible for the logistics of the Sea Sentinel, including recruiting new personnel.
"I have asked people to conduct a detailed investigation, and also dispatched some people lurking in the Xi'an Province. Combined with the information disclosed by Gothe when he was naturalized, all his experiences are summarized here."
Warrant Officer Xilin said as he handed over the thick roll of parchment in his hand.
Merick took the parchment and said, "Give me a brief introduction."
"This Gothe self-reported that he was born in Hogan City under the Bremen area of the Principality of Sien. However, two years ago, there was a new leyline around Hogan City, and the leyline creatures that emerged completely submerged Hogan City."
"Is it such a coincidence?" Upon hearing this, Merrick frowned subconsciously.
This "coincidence" is undoubtedly a stain on Gaode's resume, and it is difficult not to make people suspicious.
"I thought so at first, but later I made other discoveries." Warrant Officer Xilin smiled slightly and motioned for Merrick to open the roll of parchment.
Merick opened the parchment and a yellowed contract came into view:
"This deed is made in Hogan City on this day, the 18th day of the month of Fire, 9655 years in the Norlan calendar, in the presence of Mr. Bellamy." > "The transferor agrees to transfer the above-mentioned medicine garden together with all crops, buildings and ancillary rights thereto to the transferee for 300 sien gold coins. The transferee must pay the transferor in full in gold coins in one lump sum after the signing of this contract."
"Is this?" Merrick's eyes fell on the conspicuous word "Gaode" behind the transferor.
There is a bright red fingerprint above the name.
“A transfer contract for the medicine garden was obtained from the hands of a businessman who narrowly escaped from Hogan City the night the Leyline broke out.” Warrant Officer Xilin explained.
"I asked Anzi to check in detail, and it took a lot of time to confirm that the Gaode above and the Gaode we want to investigate are exactly the same person."
"This high virtue is really not simple!" Warrant Officer Xilin couldn't help but sigh: "Not only is he gifted, but his character and courage are also extremely extraordinary."

"Oh?" Merrick looked away from the parchment again, raised his head to look at Warrant Officer Xilin, and waited for the next article.
"According to what the businessman said, this medicine garden originally belonged to a third-class mage apprentice named Seda."
"This Seda came from the city of Bremen. He bought this garden in Hogan City, took care of it and opened a medicine garden."
"After that, this Seda specially adopted wandering beggars from Hogan City to be his apprentices. They said they were apprentices, but they were actually free labor and medicine testing. That Seda was researching a first-level magic potion formula that required human testing."
"And this Gothe was an apprentice accepted by Seda, and he matched his self-declared origin as a wandering beggar."
According to the businessman, Seda suddenly disappeared one day, most likely because of old age, and the leader of the medicine garden became Gothe."
"At that time, he used coercion and inducement, and wanted to forcibly purchase the medicine garden from Gothe."
“My arms can’t twist my thighs, but my virtue is also wonderful. I pretended to be flattering on the surface, signed the transfer contract with them, and tricked them with a box locked with a secret magic. I didn’t know where to sneak away with the money.”
"Less than a month after Gothe left, Hogan's land line was reborn, and those land line creatures surged out. Hogan City was instantly in dire straits. If this kid hadn't left early, he might have died in the beast wave, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
"Later, Gothe reappeared, already in Naserys College, and his identity was a freshman."
"Based on this information, we checked backwards, and soon found out the whole story. He turned out to be the pseudonym Google, and first went to Bremen City, and then"
"With the letter of recommendation, Gothe was able to enter Sires Academy and officially start his journey as a mage."
"He quickly showed his talent. In just one year, he stood out among the students of the same period. He was the number one freshman in that class and was successfully promoted to a first-level mage."
"What happened next was even more tortuous"
/>
"You are saying that Gothe was originally imprisoned in the mage's prison by the dean of Sires College because of the internal fighting in the royal family, but he was able to escape just in time for the Holy Empire's army to suppress the border, the regime changed, and he was granted amnesty?"
After listening to Warrant Officer Xilin's account, even though Merrick was well-informed, he had never seen such a bizarre and ups and downs experience as Gothe's.
"Yes, this Gao De has a very strong bone. Facing the oppression of these nobles, he would rather die than give in. If it weren't for his amazing luck and the opportunity of such an amnesty, he would still be suffering in prison at this moment, or he might have died long ago." Speaking of this, Warrant Officer Xilin's tone was full of appreciation.
The Plantagenets were an ancient dynasty that regarded the classical teachings of justice, honor and responsibility as the supreme norms.
Hence, most people of the Plantagenet Dynasty admire people with excellent character.
"After the amnesty, he left the city of St. Sean. He must have been hurt by this incident and did not want to stay here anymore. It was the 23rd of the Frostgold Month, 9656 in the Noran Calendar."
“After that, there was no trace of him. When he reappeared, it was already on the 1st of Frostgold Month, Year 9657 in the Nolan Calendar, one year later.” Warrant Officer Xilin continued to tell. "Twenty days ago, Bard, a resident of Holder Town, was attacked by earth-line creatures in the Sword Mountains and was rescued by him."
"According to what he said, he was working as a wandering mage during this period. It should be that after leaving Saint Sean City, he passed through the waterway and then crossed the Green Teeth Mountains. The Pulse and Sword Mountains have only entered the territory of our dynasty. "
"This is why no trace of him has been found during this year. After all, he is basically in the uninhabited primitive mountains."
"All the clues and information are correct." Warrant Officer Xilin spread his hands.
“The background of this Gaode couldn’t be more pure. He is a mage who came from the bottom of a small city in a small principality and rose to prominence with his own talents.” Finally, he gave his own summary.
"This guy is not only talented and courageous, but also extremely lucky. A first-level mage, he was able to cross two mountain ranges safely and come to our Dorne."
Merrick couldn't help but sigh after listening to Warrant Officer Xilin's story about Gothe's "inspirational" and "legendary" experience.
He also believed deeply in what Warrant Officer Xilin said about his innocence.
How could a local first-level mage who was framed and imprisoned by the nobles become a secret spy of the Holy Empire the night before the Holy Empire occupied Saint-Sion City?
"In the past hundred years, the situation of our Sea Sentinel has not been ideal. Those who can enter the Light Sentinel are already at the bottom of all regions." Warrant Officer Xilin's words were full of worry, and then said:
"With such a decline, everyone in the Sea Sentinel is very worried, hoping to change it. This Gaode is indeed a talent, with this kind of background, this kind of experience, and this kind of performance, it can be said that He has a great future. If we recruit him, I think he has a good chance of joining the Sentinel of Light in the future. "
"And," he said with a smile, "Maybe it's more than that. It's not impossible for us to directly recruit a future big man who can influence the pattern of the Plantagenet Dynasty."
"You dare to think." Merrick chuckled.
Hence what Warrant Officer Xilin said about Gaode being able to enter the Sentinel of Light, he did think it was slightly possible.
After all, Gaode’s talent, character and luck can already be seen through his resume.
But to say that he might become a big figure affecting the structure of the Plantagenet Dynasty in the future, Merrick didn't believe it at all.
It's not that he looks down on Gothe's potential, but that Merrick is well aware of the situation in the dynasty.
Different from the meritocratic Holy Empire, in the Plantagenet Dynasty, family background was very important.
It does not mean that one has a high enough status just by being born.
But without family background, it is definitely not possible.
Plantagenet is an ancient dynasty, but the other side of being ancient is often decadence and serious class consolidation.
The older generation of aristocratic families firmly hold the core power of the dynasty. It is too difficult for people at the bottom to break the shackles.
"Okay, since there is no problem in confirming his identity, let's recruit him into the Sea Sentinel." Merrick made the final decision and neatly signed his name on the document confirming the recruitment of Goude.
"He might be the most outstanding newcomer among the newcomers who enter the Sea Sentinel through my hands. Then, I can still get some credit." Looking at the newly signed paperwork, Merrick said casually.
