Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes

"Out of touch? I really can't deny that."

With a slight nod, Mondolo sighed.

"So what about you? Roach, Matt, what do you think?"

"We... don't know much about the Xinghuo organization, captain, why do you ask?"

The duo who were halfway through the excavation turned their heads and looked at the captain pretending to be puzzled.

Since the mysterious person who claimed to be from the Xinghuo organization invited them to join Xinghuo, they have never been contacted again.

This made the two of them doubtful, and at the same time gradually put it behind them, thinking that the other party might not contact them again until they graduated.

Mondoro keenly noticed that when the knight girl said "resisting the rule of the high-ranking nobles of the empire", Matt's expression suddenly became a little strange, as well as the profound eyes.

Although the boy immediately concealed it, he would never mistake that look. Only the most unforgettable hatred can make a person show that kind of beast-like eyes.

"It's nothing, just like Miss Alyssa said, the Starfire Organization is an organization created by professionals from civilian backgrounds, with the goal of resisting the rule of the imperial aristocracy.

As far as I know, both of them, like me, seem to be born in the common class. "

With a strange smile on his face, Mondolo looked around, suddenly blinked his scarlet eyes, and opened his mouth slowly.

"So, as a member of the Starfire organization, I sincerely hope that the three of you can join us—"

When Mondoro said this, both of them were taken aback.

"Captain Mondolo, it turns out that you too...!"

Matt immediately looked around vigilantly, for fear that their rebellious conversation would be overheard by outsiders.

"also?"

Seeing the reaction of the two, Mondolo also froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"So that's it, I should have guessed it... don't worry, Matt, I just saw that the last person left this cave besides us."

With that said, he shook his head, dispelling Matt's worries.

"Captain, is there any order from the organization? What do we need to do next?"

Roach couldn't help asking.

"No, there is no instruction. In fact, until we graduate, I am afraid there will be nothing we need to do. This is the special protection of the organization.

The invitation to you just now is completely my private behavior. "

Mondolo waved his hand, denying Roach's guess.

"Captain, you didn't even know our identities before, so you revealed your identities to us so simply, aren't you afraid that some of us will report you to the higher-ups?"

Wanting to understand this, Roach couldn't help being a little surprised.

"It's natural to be afraid, but if it's just out of fear of risks, it's a pity to let the three possible future backbones of Xinghuo lose before my eyes, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Smiling, Mondolo shook his head.

"What's more, on the way here, I have observed for a long time, you are not the kind of people who put their interests first, nor are you the kind of people who fanatically support the rule of the empire.

For the development of the rebel army, so what if you take some risks? Can it still be dangerous, those companions who are being hunted down by the lackeys of the empire?

From ancient times to the present, where has there been no change without bloodshed? "

As Mondoro's voice fell, Roach and Matt couldn't help but feel a little awe.

"Wait... So you are all... But, why?"

At this time, Alisa, who was left aside by the three of them, was already a little messy, and quickly interrupted the three of them.

After hearing so much what should be heard and what should not be heard, she has begun to worry that if she doesn't want to join in the future, she will be silenced directly.

"Why join the Resistance?"

Mondolo glanced at Alisa, who was a little nervous, and gently spread his hands.

"I understand that in the eyes of most nobles and 'smart people', we are just a few people who cannot be understood with common sense.

Maybe they don't understand why we have to make such a choice, why we have to do some futile attempts to hit stones with bird eggs, which can see the results at a glance. "

Shaking his head slightly, Mondolo showed a helpless look and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"This empire has oppressed us for too long. Emperor Gloria is indeed very great, but she has been away from us for more than two thousand years——

And in the past two thousand years, how have those aristocrats treated us? "

"Miss Alisa, I understand. I haven't seen it before. It may be difficult to imagine those scenes. But as the son of a mercenary captain, I have seen too many injustices and tragedies before I entered Pamir Academy. .”

Speaking, Mondolo took a deep breath, as if he couldn't bear to recall those memories.

"I come from Frey Province in the northwest of the empire, a small city named Meyer, the ruler there is Baron Meyer.

When I was twelve years old, I once passed the city gate with my father, and saw Uncle Ken, who was in the caravan, arguing with the city guard at the gate of the city.

Since my father was a well-known mercenary captain nearby at that time, he had cooperated with Ken's caravan many times. I know Uncle Ken has a daughter named Bessie.

We used to play together and she was beautiful with beautiful big brown eyes. "

"But the dispute at the city gate finally alarmed Baron Meyer. Accompanied by his guards, he looked at Ken and his caravan from a distance, and then left. From the beginning to the end, the baron didn't say a single word."

Having said that, Mondolo sighed.

"Afterwards, Uncle Ken's caravan never appeared again. But in an accident, I saw Bessie again in the red light district of the city.

She was wearing heavy makeup, wearing revealing clothes, and stood at the corner of the street with dead and numb eyes. Ten silver pieces a night, like most of the other women there.

And the behind-the-scenes master of that red-light district is Baron Meyer himself. "

"This...but it's impossible. If you treat caravans from afar like this, which caravan will dare to pass through this town in the future?"

After hearing this cruel story, Alisa couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her mouth, her golden red eyes were full of disbelief. This is completely contrary to the way she learned in the academy to govern the territory.

"Oh, yes—so, there are fewer and fewer caravans there, and the city has become very impoverished. But Baron Meyer has become richer and richer. Not only has he paid full annual taxes to the upper-level rulers, but even himself The strength is getting stronger and stronger.

And because the business was getting worse and worse, my father finally led the mercenary group to leave there and became a mobile mercenary group, accepting missions throughout the northwest province of the empire.

But it is precisely because our footprints have passed through more cities, but we have seen more such and even more tragic facts. "

With a mocking sneer, Mondolo leaned on the stone pillar, showing a mocking expression.

"The high nobles can't see all this because they stand too far away. Just like a person who sees an ant under the weight of fallen leaves, even if he notices it accidentally, he won't take it to heart.

At most, when you are in a good mood, you can remove the fallen leaves and release the ants.

But for more ants that have never been seen, the fallen leaf in the eyes of humans is an unbearable mountain in their lives—"
