Episode 16 Who is the protagonist
.
(Haiwen's own story did not end because of this, and her daughter still doesn't know what he has experienced. But when she asks this now, she seems to think it's not the time.)

The family packed up their things and left the wooden house that day while Sberd was just injured. According to Haiwen's own plan, he would first gather the previous forces and prepare to clean the continent like seven years ago.
"It seems that my retreat was a wrong decision." Hawen said as he held Seidel, who was unable to exert all over his body.
"Yes. And the most wrong thing is that I never forgive me." Seidel had not forgotten to complain about him.
Hawen said nothing about this. "For the sake of his daughter, we can't be lenient this time. Since Sberd dares to come and cause trouble, it is probably difficult for us to find him."
"I'm not because of you and Sarah. Now I have another reason to be slutty..." Seidel turned to look at his daughter who was following him.
The little girl was still very sensible and immediately smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. If I throw it on this continent, no one will find me again. Think about it now, I don't even have a name, it should be for this, right?"
Haven did not give any explanation. "The Thor League is now in name only, and your Uncle Burundi is there. He is a big man now, and the stall that needs to be taken care of is too big. It is impossible to make a grudge against others for me. Let's go find Tus first."
Seidel smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, I couldn't kill him back then, otherwise you wouldn't even have a trustworthy helper now..."
"Forget it. Those things have passed, and it doesn't make sense to discuss who is right and who is wrong. All you need now is to heal the injury first." Haiwen didn't let her think too much.
But Seidel was a little confused. "Will Tus hate me?"
"Maybe I've hated it. But with his wisdom, he will definitely not be worried about this matter." Hawen knew Tus better than anyone else, and expected that the matter had gone with time.
The little girl asked curiously: "Did you know about Uncle Tuss's experience?"
"Of course. Do you want to hear his story again?" Haiwen knew what she was thinking.
The little girl nodded and asked her father to tell her something. "Didn't you tell me about Uncle Tuss going to the Qingliu Kingdom? I don't know what happened next."
"I know a little about this, but I also learned it from the Soul Scroll. Unlike Burundi, he will not talk about his past. Anyway, there is time on the road, so I will tell you his story. Let you understand that my father is not a frivolous person." Hawen temporarily put down his story and began to tell his daughter about Tus's past.

Tuss returned to the Qingliu Kingdom with Nathan. With the recommendation of Nathan, the real power faction, he was preparing to enter the Royal Academy in the Kingdom's capital, Tianzhi City. This is also the environment that Tuss dreamed of, and only such a place can develop all his potential.
Nathan arranged the adopted son very well. In his office, he said to Tus who had just entered the door: "Child, the life of Royal Academy will be a turning point in your life. People who can enter there have backgrounds, and it is not a powerful person. Building a good relationship with them is a very important lesson."
"Tus understand. I won't let you down."Tus replied humbly.
Nathan stood up and came to him. At the height, Nathan was a whole head taller than Tus. "I'm not scaring you. There are a few guys there who like to make trouble, especially the son of the Prime Minister. The Royal Guard and the Palace Mage are actually theirs, so it's best not to mess with him."
"Court Mage? Does the Royal Academy also teach magic, which is almost lost?" Tuss really heard the news this time.
"Not taught. Those court mages are all weird people with special family blood, and others have no chance to learn it. You should learn to practice some swordsmanship. I always feel that you are weak." Nathan took this opportunity to point out Tus' weakness.
Tuss just smiled. "Now I start from scratch, I feel that it's too late. It's better to give up exercising and only exercise my mind and mental will."
"It's right. Maybe I want you to be perfect. Haha. You can report to the Royal Academy tomorrow. The courses for this semester have not started yet. Remember to make them look at them with admiration, Tuss." Nathan took out the recommendation letter and handed it to him.
Tuss reached out to take the recommendation letter. "Sure."
The next morning, he appeared alone at the gate of the Royal Academy. Seeing this majestic gate gives people a feeling of awe, let alone the two rows of samurai standing in front of the gate.
"How do you go to the teaching department?" he asked carefully to the warrior in front of the door.
A samurai who was asked answered him without moving. "Go straight, go to the fountain and turn left. The teaching office is in that building."
"Thank you." Tus immediately expressed his gratitude. Although he didn't know which room he was, he didn't want to ask the same question to someone again.
When he was about to walk in, the warrior moved. "Wait. The Royal Academy is a sacred place of education. You are not a student here and you cannot enter."
"I was recommended. This is a letter of recommendation." Tuss quickly took out the letter of recommendation.
The warrior only read the recommendation letter twice. "Sorry. My duty is to prevent ordinary people from entering the sacred Royal Academy, not to identify the authenticity of the seal. I will not allow you to enter until you get the school badge. Unless I get a more direct order from my superior."
Tuss took back the letter of recommendation and said with a smile: "You are really a responsible royal guard. Which one is your superior?"
"I'm." An old man watching the fun next to him suddenly got in.
Tuss has never had an idea about this old man. "It's true that he can't behave like a person. I dare ask why you can manage these royal guards?"
The old man's hunched waist gradually straightened up and immediately looked much younger. "I am the vice president of the Royal Academy. When I'm fine, I like to stay at the gate. Don't ask me why, I won't tell you."
Tuss quickly saluted. "It turns out that he is the vice principal, it's really rude. I'm a new student who was recommended, Tuss."
"Actually, before you arrived in Tianzhi City, I had heard that you had turned the war into vain. But those were just rumors, I didn't see it with my own eyes or ears." The vice principal stroked the gray beard that was not much on his mouth and looked at him.
Tuss understands that he is trying to test himself or give himself a warning. "So how can I get you to agree?"
"You are indeed very cognitive. Since we, Qingliu, build a country with culture, please write a poem, and use what you see here now as the title. I will judge whether you should enter the Royal Academy." The vice president asked the question.
When Tus heard that he was writing poetry, he just smiled faintly. "Then I'll be ugly." He took a deep breath and slowly recited: "The green mountains fall among the stars, and the willow leaves fly in memory of when I have been remembered. If you win without martial law, you only need wisdom to reach the sky."
After hearing this, the vice principal basically understood the meaning. "I have to admire your talent when I actually wrote a hidden poem in such a short time. I just don't know if you have the wisdom mentioned in your poem."
"At least Lord Nathan is very confident in me." Tuss did not show off himself anymore, but carried Nathan out.
"Okay. Just come in with me." The vice principal's first threshold has been passed.
The vice-principal told his name on the way in. "Just call me Principal Ryan. This Royal Academy only has the vice-principal, no principal. Haha."
"Is it the struggle of power that no one dares to sit in this position?" Tuss thought of the reason.
Principal Ryan nodded. "This is not a secret at all. As long as you sit in that position, you are forcing yourself to choose to stand in the position of a certain family. Of course, even if someone wants to sit, they will be killed secretly. The students in the academy gave the position an image name, the guillotine."
Tuss began to suspect that Ryan and Nathan were all in the same group, and tentatively said: "Haha. You said this to me, and it seems that you have expressed your position."
Seeing that he was indeed smart, Ryan would not say secret words. "Those royal guards who blocked you at the gate are all the eyeliners of the Prime Minister Dakawi. I have to give you a legitimate chance to come in. Otherwise, these dogs that rely on their power will not let you in."
Seeing that he had already agreed, Tus immediately expressed his respect again. "I'm really embarrassed to let you go there."
"Stop talking about this. The academy is not safe and I can't really take care of you. If you encounter any student, you have to solve the problems yourself." Ryan said, bringing him to the teaching office.
There were only two people sitting in the room of the teaching office, one man and one woman. Ryan said to the man: "This is a new student. Please see which class has an available seat." He was obviously very polite to this person. Tuss suspected that their relationship was not very good, and it might even be hostile. It seems that Ryan could not say the same thing in the academy.
The man didn't check at all and answered him directly. "The first grade is full. Can he go to the second grade directly?"
Tuss already knows some of the Royal Academy and knows that this year is just a first-year enrollment. The college recruits students from the age of twelve to twenty, and has been studying for five years. He always wants to do something difficult, and now it is an opportunity. "It doesn't matter. Let me start from the second grade."
Seeing that he was so confident, Ryan just happened to destroy the other party's majesty. "Did you hear it? Which class in the second year has free seats?"
The man answered him with anger in his arms. "Second Five."
Ryan suddenly stopped moving. "..."
Tuss didn't know the reason, so he had to find some face for Ryan first. "As long as there is a book to read, it will be the same for me in any class. Principal Ryan, take me to see it."
Ryan came to his senses and coughed dryly. "I'll come over if I have something to do." He took Tus away from the teaching office.
When they left the house, the man grinned and cursed, "This old guy is really ignorant. I'll see how this new boy died."
The woman who had never made any sound or moved suddenly laughed a little. "Interesting things are about to happen. Haha." The voice was so fake.
Ryan, who was walking outside, reminded Tus: "That second-year class is not simple. The Prime Minister's son and successors from several other big families have been watching."
"There are important people in that class? It's not a princess or something?" Tuss guessed casually.
Ryan thought he had heard it a long time ago. "Yes. It's the princess there. As long as you marry her, these people can be justified in usurping the throne."
"No way? Does the Qingliu Kingdom have not even a prince?" Tuss felt that this was a bit strange.
Ryan gave a positive answer. "Of course there are princes, and there are three. Unfortunately, they are all fighting for the throne, so they are united with these big families. The king has no choice, they are all their own sons. He doesn't want to see them end up fratricidal."
"It seems that this princess is indeed important. By the way, how many princesses are there in total?" Tuss was just curious because he thought that the king had a problem with his reproductive ability.
"There were four before, but now there is only one left." Ryan's answer almost made Tus fall.
"What's going on? Is there anyone assassinating the princess?" Tuss couldn't imagine any motivation for this.
Ryan shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's hereditary. Although the four princesses were not born to the same mother, they all looked very beautiful. Unfortunately, once the most beautiful flower season comes, they will suddenly wither. The cause of their death is the failure of organs in their bodies, just like life has been squeezed out by something."
"It's so terrible. It seems that there have never been many strange things in this world, and even the princess can't escape." Tuss couldn't understand.
Ryan continued, "Now the little princess has grown up, and it is the time to be graceful. She is also at the age when her three sisters die. And these wolves and tigers don't even let go of the poor little princess, treating her as a pawn of power struggle. Since Lord Nathan has no children, he cares the most about the lonely little princess. Do you understand now? We are on the side of the little princess."
"So that's what it is..." Tuss immediately outlined this relationship diagram in his mind.
Ryan directly brought him to the so-called Class 5 of Year 2. Why is it called? It is because there are very few people in this class, with only a few male and female students waiting for class.
Tuss glanced briefly and immediately determined which one was the princess. Of course, the most beautiful one, otherwise how could she be surrounded by her?
Ryan did not introduce him to anyone anymore. "You wait for the teacher in this class to come. He is very strict, but he has not joined any force because of this personality. Be careful." After that, the principal who did not match his name left.
Tuss approached the princess under the eyes of almost everyone. "Hello, beautiful princess. My name is Tuss, and I am Lord Nathan's adopted son. I hope my appearance did not make you feel bad."
This princess is indeed as Tus said, extremely beautiful. She has long golden hair like waves, and there is a little vigilance in her eyes that is not easy to detect. "Hello, Tus. No one in the academy calls me a princess, and no one uses a honorary title. You can call me Alice directly."
Tus smiled at her. No matter how the princess evaluated herself, her evaluation of her was already high enough. "Since you don't have the airs to stay away from me, I will introduce myself again. I am Tus from the Kingdom of Starlight. My hobby is to guess the hearts of others and help others solve problems."
"It's not a good thing to guess other people's hearts. But helping others solve problems is not bad. So what problems can you solve?" Alice responded to him with the same smile.
"All." Tuss boldly praised this Haikou.
Not only Alice, but no one else believed it. Alice changed from smiling to covering her mouth. "You are so funny. No one in this world can solve everything. Even if she has that ability, she doesn't have that energy. In the end, she will only solve part of it."
"You are right. But as long as the problem appears in front of me, no matter what it is, it will be solved. If you don't believe it, just say it. I will tell you directly when to solve it." Tuss just wanted to fool these people, and the meaning is to make others not believe that they can do it. Once he solves the problem himself, the effect will increase exponentially. In the end, it will be impossible and will be passed on as possible.
However, Alice's response was a bit beyond Tus' imagination. "My problems are not left to you to solve. You will slowly find that you are just a supporting role, and I am waiting for the protagonist to appear."
This is the first time Tuss has been told like this, and he feels very uncomfortable. "Since I am a supporting role, can you ask who the protagonist is? Where is he?"
"I don't know who he is. But I feel like he should know you. Now this person is south of us." Alice also pointed at the south-facing wall.
Tuce had to doubt that what she said was true this time because he knew who would be in that direction. Of course it was Havan.
A girl next to Alice smiled and said to Tus: "I'm afraid you don't understand the princesses of our Qingliu Kingdom at all. They all have eyes that see through the essence of things and can see through all opportunities."
Seeing that Alice didn't stop the girl, Tuss laughed. "Then I guess you must have heard of people who can go against the will of heaven. If I say I am a supporting role, then I will turn it around."
"The Heavenly Master?" Alice looked at Tus in disbelief.
Tuss saluted her, picked a seat in front and sat down with her back. Alice closed her eyes and felt it for a moment, then slowly opened her eyes. "How can you be connected to the sky?"
Tuss slightly turned his face and answered her. "Zhike Tongtian." However, his thin back seemed much taller.
