Law of the Devil

For Gabriel. The arrival of the heir of the Luo Lin family. The aristocratic family of the imperial capital. A gesture of welcome was made. Everyone knows that this once young genius among the younger generation of imperial aristocrats is about to step into the most prominent dignitaries on this continent, and nothing can stop him.

Yes. Gabriel is a young genius - and his brother, now the number one celebrity in the mainland, was called an idiot back then, what an interesting pair of brothers!

And the glorious tradition of the Rowling family made Gabriel not excluded by this - the nobles paid great attention to tradition. What the Luo Lin family lacks most is a glorious history.

so. The day after Gabriel arrived in the imperial capital. The dignitaries of the empire gave this young man enough face. A great banquet was held. Welcome the future Earl of the Rollins family back to the imperial capital.

and. look. With Duke Tulip backing him, the Rowling family has regained its glory and is already unstoppable, since it is unstoppable. Then it's better to be a good friend.

The only thing that surprised Du Wei was that before the first dinner, Gabriel rejected Du Wei's proposal: invite his unmarried Miss Qin Aoxi to attend together.

Du Wei took this refusal as a young man's shyness. But Gabriel seemed to have other ideas.

at this dinner party. Gabriel displayed the good manners and manners of a fully aristocratic family. He calmly dealt with the guests at the banquet, and his demeanor was extremely measured during the chatter, neither humble nor overbearing. Faintly revealed a bit of confidence and calmness. There is also the reservedness unique to the nobility. And in etiquette. Gabriel, who was taught by the countess, naturally did not show any flaws.

He is very young. Inherited the excellent lineage of the Luo Lin family, with a handsome and stalwart appearance. A glorious family background, and a promising future—all of this. over the banquet. It has become a fatal attraction for young girls!

Although in terms of brilliance. Du Wei's light is brighter than that of his younger brother. But now everyone knows that Duke Tulip is a cunning man when dealing with women. His escape speed is simply faster than advanced wind magic!! So gradually, the girls also despaired of him—they simply admired him as a distant idol.

And Gabriel... There is no doubt that he is very charming! The young man, with a hint of immature shyness in his eyes, all these make the noble girls who have been immersed in the big dye vat of the imperial capital for a long time feel very fresh and exciting, as if this young man Earth boy. Bringing the simple majesty of the Luolin Plain.

And Gabriel has practiced family martial arts since he was a child. His body is strong and strong, and his chest and shoulders are broad enough. But such a heroic young man occasionally showed a shy smile similar to that of a young lady—it just made a group of noble women drool!

so. This banquet. It can be said that Gabriel fell into the powder pile.

this evening. At the dance, six girls "accidentally" bumped into him. Seven girls "accidentally" dropped their handkerchiefs in front of him, and eight more. "Accidentally" spilled the drink in his hand on Gabriel - who said that only men are proficient in the technique of striking up a conversation? It seems that among the open-minded nobles of the imperial capital, the ladies are equally good at this field.

And the most exciting program that night was the youngest daughter of a local governor's family. "Accidentally" stepped on his own skirt. Then he fell flatly into Gabriel's arms!

"We know he's engaged. But so what? Imperial law allows a nobleman to marry several wives, and... it's not forbidden. For lovers, this kid looks very cute. If you are a lover, yes A very good candidate."

The ladies quickly reached a tacit agreement.

By the way, Sei Ping is too long. The atmosphere among the nobles is very open, not to mention that Du Wei has long known that these guys use ice berries as hallucinogens. And the relationship between men and women. Among the wealthy nobles in the imperial capital, they are also open to the point of corruption.

The lover thing. It's an open secret here. And the guards around some noble ladies often choose some handsome men who are almost like little boys.

And Gabriel, honorably. He temporarily replaced his elder brother Du Wei and became the target of these women.

And Du Wei's mind was a bit unhappy.

obviously. He sees it. My little brother had a great time playing.

Du Wei could see through the "shy and innocent" smile on the little guy's face at a glance. It's acting, and Gabriel seems to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women, he seems to be a romantic boy.

Du Wei saw him having a drink with a certain baron's daughter a while ago, and a while later he saw him dancing with his arms around a certain viscount's widow, and in the middle of the night, this boy actually quietly took a girl to the garden There was a heart-to-heart talk, and a classic scene of jumping over the fence and jumping into the garden to pick flowers for the girl!!

And that girl... Let Du Wei press his forehead hard, that girl is actually a cousin of Gabriel's unmarried Miss Qin Aoqian!!

"Why is this kid so careless..." Du Wei moaned deep in his heart.

Obviously, in this regard, my younger brother is not the same as myself. He is more like a young nobleman according to the standards of this era! Handsome. Has the capital of popular girls. And very good at using this capital!

As a result, Du Wei was dissatisfied.

It's not that he doesn't understand this young and lustful feeling of admiration, but. Unknowingly, Du Wei has consciously integrated into the role of "elder brother is father". Of course he wants his younger brother. He is an honest and honest boy.

In fact. Gabriel did exactly what Dewey asked -- most of the time. When it comes to serious business. This kid has already shown a bit of maturity, but when it comes to matters between men and women... he seems to be very experienced!

As an older brother, you can't stop your younger brother from picking up girls?

The dinner party arrived in the middle of the night. Du Wei finally found Gabriel—this kid suddenly turned into a butterfly tonight. Walking back and forth among the girls.

In the end, Du Wei caught him back from the fence of the terrace - at that time, this boy was hugging a young and beautiful girl whom Du Wei didn't even know and kissing passionately! If Du Wei went a little later, Du Wei was very suspicious. The younger brother probably took the girl to some bushes in the garden to roll around!

"Okay, brother. Why do you look unhappy?" Gabriel watched the girl go away, and seeing Du Wei frown, he tidied up his clothes casually. .

"You like these girls very much?" Du Wei smiled wryly.

"Why not?" Gabriel blinked: "They are young and beautiful. And I like young and beautiful girls. Oh. Don't worry. I know my identity, but these are not big things."

"I understand what you mean. With your status, it's not surprising to have a few women." Du Wei shook his head: "But. You seem to have too many prey tonight. Let me count. One, two, three ...Oh, the girl who kissed you just now is your fourth prey tonight, yes!" Du Wei rubbed his temples.

"It's the fifth one." Gabriel's smirk made Du Wei feel very depressed: "Before the ball started. A lady quietly gave me her handkerchief. You didn't notice it at that time."

Du Wei: "..."

He looked at his younger brother for a while. Cai whispered: "Do you know? One of the girls you provoked tonight is your maiden Qin's cousin."

"I know." Gabriel didn't seem to care.

"and you……"

"Brother." Gabriel's voice is still very respectful, but his expression is also very calm: "I know what you want to say. But I think... In fact, many times, I think your actions are very strange. You are the Rowling family. He is the eldest son of the eldest son. Now he has his own family. He is the Duke of the empire. It can be said that he is under one person and above ten thousand people, but... in the eyes of many people, you are really an outlier. Young people like you. There are not many Lover? But your private life is really...too boring."

Gabriel looked at his brother and sighed: "Like you, like me. Young people like us. Almost all of them bid farewell to virgins before they reached adulthood. But you are very strange. You never need any beautiful maids around you. You only want Made to be by your side, and you never attended any noble gatherings a few days ago, and you never chatted up any girls... These things make me very strange."

Du Wei was speechless.

Actually Gabriel was right. Among the nobility. Youngly male. It is often said goodbye to the virgin life very early. Many of them were before the age of thirteen or fourteen. I have enjoyed the taste of being a man in my personal maid. And when he grows up, he is not stingy with his energy when it comes to women.

The nobles of the empire have always been like this, whether it is looking for a lover, or marrying more wives, or occasionally acting on the occasion. These are very open secrets. Even in many noble families. Husband and wife respect each other's "rules of the game" (because many marriages are the product of political marriages. The two parties have no feelings. They don't mind each other looking for some private fun,)

In contrast, Du Wei's private life. It's as clean as a blank sheet of paper!

Even... Before Du Wei had little Vivienne, some people in the imperial capital even doubted whether this young master Du Wei was a rabbit who liked masculinity? Fortunately. After Du Wei had Vivienne. This rumor was broken. But his private life is too clean, in the eyes of many nobles, this is simply the life of an ascetic monk!

"I...I just think you are too young now, you..." Du Wei didn't know how to convince his brother.

"I'm not a virgin anymore." Gabriel's sudden words made Du Wei stunned for a moment.

"You...not anymore?" Du Wei opened his mouth.

"It wasn't last year." Gabriel said lightly: "Last year, my mother took the initiative to match me with two very young and beautiful maids to serve me. I know this is a tacit consent, so... I did it, and it feels good."

Du Wei: "...Last... last year, you were under fourteen years old."

"Brother, I think you're really weird." Gabriel sighed: "Sometimes. I really don't think you look like a nobleman, and even...you don't look like a person living in our world! Look around you. All men. As long as they are capable and powerful, they will try to possess more women. This is not to satisfy their own animal desires. It is not only to satisfy their physical needs, but more important reasons. This is A reflection of one's own status and ability! You are stronger than others. You are entitled to enjoy more! Possess more resources. Possess more wealth. Possess more power. Possess more women—our The world is like this, is there anything strange?"

Du Wei nodded. He didn't object.

Intellectually. He is very clear. This is Roland Continent, an empire. It was a feudal era. Don't pay attention to gender equality. It is a world where men are superior to women. Here, the man is the master. The more powerful a man is, the more wealth and resources he has to occupy, while women... are considered a kind of "resources".

This has nothing to do with morality. It's a cultural norm. social rules.

Just like the world of Du Wei's previous life. He once studied ancient Greek mythology. In the mythology, Zeus, the father god, is an extremely lustful stick, even his own sister. Still showing mercy. But people in that era. Just think that this is a "powerful" embodiment!

The more resources and wealth you possess. It proves that you are very strong!!

It's not like Du Wei himself. Cultivated by the environment of the one-husband-one-Qin land in the previous life, in this world. There is always some inseparability between men and women.

Although he already has a pair of sisters in his family...but compared to his status, in the eyes of others, this is already a "strange news"!

people around. For example, the Earl of Villa, such as Delan Mountain Warcraft, whose family is not full of beauties? Even Camishiro, who married the grandniece of the old Prime Minister Rob Schell, has many women in his family, and he also has a few ladies outside. Some dew relationships - these are open secrets, no one will say anything about him.

"Our father, when he was young, was even more flirtatious than I am now." Gabriel smiled, and he came over and put his arms around his brother's shoulders: "Brother, I know you are worried. But don't worry, I'm not that kind of lecher. Life guy. These are just games to me. Once the game time is over, I will lose the mentality of these games. When it’s time to do business. I won’t get dizzy.”

This is the difference... Du Wei sighed inwardly.

If in the previous life. When the mother of a family knows that her son is so caring, she will be very worried.

And in this world... a mother like the countess actually took the initiative to find a woman to make her son lose his virginity?! Because in the countess' opinion. His son is destined to be a big shot. Is a strong, is a power. Then he should have more! This is the rule of this world, as it should be!.

Du Wei sighed and was speechless, he knew that he really couldn't say anything about his brother. Because in the eyes of people in this world. It's normal for my brother to do this. But he himself is not normal.

The banquet that night allowed Du Wei to see another side of his brother—he was no longer the one who was covered in mud. The boy lying in the yard digging up earthworms.

And the next morning. Another performance by Gabriel. Only then did Du Wei feel relieved about him! He was indeed not obsessed with women and became dizzy.

At the banquet last night, Gabriel was messed with. Apparently after the banquet. He immediately resumed his role as the calm young heir to the earl. Even when he was in the morning, Du Wei hadn't gotten up yet. He got up first!

Gabriel started practicing martial arts in the yard. He was shirtless and only wore a pair of training pants. Start practicing fencing in the yard.

When Du Wei got up. Gabriel was already drenched in sweat. There was no slack look on his face. His eyes were shining, and a long sword in his hand danced like snowflakes.

And such a cold early spring morning. Gabriel is not afraid of the severe cold. He was sweating profusely. After practicing swordsmanship a few times, he picked up a giant epee and chopped fifty wooden stakes in one go. This completes today's homework.

Du Wei stood at the gate of the yard and watched for a long time. When Gabriel wiped off his sweat with a white towel after training. Du Wei walked over with a satisfied look on his face: "You got up early?"

"Yes." Gabriel put the sword back on the shelf: "I have to practice for an hour every morning. This is the most basic homework. But because I came all the way from Luolin Plain, the time on the road has been wasted for a few days Yes, I have to make up for the homework I owe. So starting today, I have to practice for half an hour every day."

As he spoke, he carefully took off a brand new long sword from the weapon rack. The scabbard was made of high-quality shark skin. Also set with two gemstones - not for aesthetics. Instead, there is a careful blessing magic on this gem. It can make the sword avoid rust and moisture corrosion when it is stored.

This is a first-class sword. The value is more than 30,000 gold coins. It is the work of a famous swordsmith in the northern part of the empire. This is a gift, and it was given to Gabriel last night by the monster of Mount Delan.

The gift Count Villa gave Gabriel was a young and beautiful maid who was just fifteen years old, with skin as smooth as satin. Thin lashes. certainly. She is still a virgin, a concubine cultivated with a lot of money from Count Villa's property.

Gabriel also accepted it with a smile - of course, he didn't just throw the quadruplets into the store like Du Wei did, but took them back to his yard to serve his daily life - this is a normal Live aristocratically.

Du Wei was relieved, at least Gabriel didn't become obsessed with sex after getting that beautiful concubine, and he could still persist in getting up in the morning to hone his martial arts. It shows that he is very self-disciplined!

"You go take a shower." Du Wei felt that he didn't need to say anything more: "This afternoon, I'll take you to visit the Chancellor's mansion. By the way, you can meet your maiden Qin..."

"Eh? Brother, don't go." Gabriel frowned.

His expression is very serious, not pretending.

"do you have any opinion?"

Gabriel took a deep breath: "I don't want to get married so early."

Du Wei didn't understand for a while: "What did you say?"

"I said. I don't want to get married so early." Gabriel's tone was very serious: "Brother, I think you are too anxious. The men of our Luo Lin family. Few people get married as soon as they are adults! For example, our father...he is He married our mother when he was in his twenties. When he gave birth to you, he was already thirty-six years old! When he returned from Nanyang triumphantly for the last time, you were three years old. He was already thirty-nine at that time!"

Gabriel's attitude is very sincere: "I know we have talked about this topic, and I am willing to listen to your opinion. Don't go to the Storm Legion in the north. Don't take risks, and follow your arrangement. First hone yourself, accumulate some experience and qualifications, In the future, I want to be a general like my father. But in terms of marriage. I don’t want to be too early, I’m still young, and I still have a lot of colorful life. I don’t want to tie myself to a rope too early, you saw last night... I I think I can hang around for two more years...Brother, I’m not joking. I think there are indeed many nobles who marry as soon as they reach adulthood. But those are second-generation ancestors with no skills. They rely on the family background of their parents and ancestors to dabble , but I am different, I still have ambitions to display. I have my own future, I want to make a career first! So now... for women. I can play games when I have time to spare. But if I Seriously marrying a woman as a wife...I don't want to spend energy on this now, at least for a few years!"

"But in a few years..." Du Wei wanted to say that the situation would be different in a few years.

"I know too." Gabriel nodded earnestly: "But this war will last for decades. This is what you said, and it may not even be completed in one generation. I will not die immediately. The matter of marriage , let’s wait and see.”

Seeing that Du Wei still wanted to object, Gabriel took a heavy breath. Looking at Du Wei, he said sincerely, "Brother, this is my decision, please support me."

"I..." Du Wei looked at his younger brother with serious eyes: "...OK."

"Miss Ossie, I will marry her. After all, this is a marriage arranged by my father. I will not object. I know what I should do and what I should not do." Gabriel smiled: "But it's not yet Time. So. Brother. In the afternoon. You take me to the military headquarters to see. I care more about this!"

It has to be said that compared with Du Wei, Gabriel is more like a descendant of the Rollins family. More like the young nobles of this world.

For example, Du Wei generally doesn't like to ride a horse when he goes out. Because he likes comfort more than just being a carriage. I also like to spend a lot of energy modifying the carriage to make it extremely comfortable! I even put a few magic circles on the carriage to reduce the bumps at any cost - although in the eyes of many magicians, such a waste of magic. It is simply a boring and extreme move.

Gabriel prefers to ride horses! Probably the blood of Earl Raymond flows in this young man's veins. He is extremely martial in his bones. He likes to ride tall horses, wears high-end warrior uniforms tailored for nobles, and wears sharp long swords. Riding the horse on the long street. Mighty and heroic. Undoubtedly!.

Du Wei satisfied his younger brother's request - he really loved this younger brother to the bottom of his heart, just like all brothers in the world. Du Wei's request for his younger brother. As long as it's done properly. Can't wait to be satisfied.

So, in the afternoon, Du Wei took Gabriel to the Imperial Military Command.

Now the old Prime Minister Rob Schell rarely comes to the military headquarters, although he still holds the title of Acting Minister of Military Affairs. But the main thing. It has all fallen on the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs Camisiro.

Camisiro and Du Wei have a good personal relationship. Seeing that Du Wei brought his younger brother to visit the military headquarters, he warmly received Du Wei, threw the official documents in his hand to several clerks under his command to deal with, and personally took Du Wei and Gabriel to visit the military headquarters of the empire. .

The military headquarters of the empire was established by His Majesty Aragorn, the founding emperor, when the empire was established a thousand years ago. Du Wei sighed: It looks like another self. Very good at playing!

This is a military headquarters that imitated the modern military system of the world of the previous earth. In the command headquarters, several departments have been refined, including those responsible for ordnance. Responsible for logistics. Responsible for publicity. There is a responsible personnel file management place. certainly. The most important thing is the combat command department, which is a place imitating the staff department in the previous life. For all large-scale wars, some simulated military plans will be made.

Although Du Wei knew that he was not a military expert, it was only a prototype when Aragon made it in his previous life. However, after thousands of years of self-improvement, the Roland people have further improved this system. It's already pretty good.

For example, large-scale military maps and sand tables. Model. Military drills, blah blah blah.

also. By the way. Inside the imperial military, there is also a small academy. In other words, this place can be called a "training course" within the imperial military.

In order to provide a steady stream of fresh blood to the imperial army. There is a tradition in the empire: periodically, some low-level and middle-level officers with excellent leadership will be drawn from various local armies. Report to the headquarters of the imperial capital. Then take this mini-ground training class.

it's here. There will be some veteran generals of the empire to come forward. Specially come to bring these young juniors and teach them some military experience. Tell some examples of past wars. And make a specific analysis of some battle cases, including the performance of martial arts. And military deduction on the sand table and so on.

This is almost the prototype of a military academy, unfortunately. Aragorn back then. That is, after Du Wei himself created this prototype. There is no time to promote it, but it has been a thousand years. Nor did the Empire expand the training class into a military academy. On the one hand, it’s because people in this age of the world don’t realize how positive a formal military academy will be to the empire. On the other hand, this is a feudal era! All the high positions are people from wealthy families You know, it's very hard for a person from a civilian background to climb to a high position—even if you go to a military academy!

Look at the empire, which army general is not a nobleman??

So, this way. Even if the military academy is established, it may become a place where noble children are gilded, and it is of little significance.

But even so. This small-scale training class. At least it can guarantee to provide the empire with some excellent and qualified mid-level officers-this is already very rare.

Du Wei's first step plan for Gabriel is to hope that he can enter this training class first to learn!

after all. It's one thing for you to be good at martial arts. But leading troops to fight is another matter! .
