Chapter 122
Bo stood silently in front of this new world, his divine eyes seeing that this world was also a cartoonish rendering: "Character proportions are normal... no huge eyes occupying one-third of the face... and... what is this!" He saw something that excited him, "A spaceship like a flintlock gun! This isn't... this can't be!!" He saw one of his favorite science fiction novels from back in the day.
Just as he was about to rush into this world, a bespectacled intellectual beauty appeared in front of him, wearing the same uniform as the alliance in the animation. She stood in front of him and said to Bo Fu: "Traveler from the endless void sea, what do you want to do?"
Bo Yu said solemnly and seriously: "I am a man who wants to go home, Miss. Your world is also a must-see on my journey. Please allow me to stay in your world for...". Bo Yu calculated for a moment, "It should be forty-eight years."
"Your supernatural powers will bring unpredictable variables to this world..."
"I solemnly swear that I will absolutely not use supernatural powers, and besides, my powers have been severely depleted now, even if I wanted to use them it would be difficult. Moreover, I like this world, it's one of my favorite fantasy works, I absolutely won't mess with it! I swear on the name of the Devouring Bird of Calamity!" Bo Fu made a solemn oath for the first time.
"As long as I don't use supernatural powers, this world is free for me to develop, right? Beautiful and intelligent lady." Bo Fu asked again.
"Let it be, let it develop on its own, after all, that's life... See how you can make your life a magnificent and turbulent one." The girl said, adjusting her glasses.
"Lonely? Solitude?"
"My name is Tanaka. I can see through people's hearts and human nature... No matter how much time passes, no matter how society develops, humans are still humans, regardless of what form they take."
"The author of 'Everyone Dies' seems to have some ability after all. By the way, miss, what is 50 billion divided by 90 and then divided by 500 million?" Bo Fu's serious face lasted for less than 5 minutes before he asked a question with a silly smile.
"What's wrong with one point one tons?"
"Originally, everyone could eat a ton of food every day...... China produces 500 million tons of grain per year, which is enough for 1.3 billion people to eat and drink their fill, and there are also sufficient by-products. However, 700 million tons of grain is not enough for 30 million troops and twice that number of civilians for several months. Miss, who taught you math and biology? Was it your physical education teacher?"
The intelligent beauty's face turned bright red, "Can't it be? Can't it be?! Mustn't one be allowed to make a calculation mistake?!"
Bo Yu burst out laughing, and with a flick of his wrist, a dazzling flame-like object appeared in the palm of his hand. "Lady, I was just joking, please don't mind. Now, this is the gift I should give you according to the rules, please accept it."
"What a powerful stabilizing force! Are you really of human origin? Sorry, I forgot that you are the devouring bird, the fierce bird at the top of the food chain. Alright, which side do you want to go to? The Empire or the Alliance?"
"According to my personality, since the supernatural powers can't be used now, I'll just go and mix with the imperial nobles for a while, and when the time comes, I can also take a look at the Golden Lion's live drama." Bo Fu said with a snap of his fingers.
"Alright, I'll write a backstory for you and you can live your life as a noble who eats and waits for death."
In the year 458 of the Imperial Calendar, June 6th, 767 of the Universal Calendar, the sole heir to the Viscountcy of Fafnir was born in the Imperial capital of Odin. The boy was named Rudolf von Fafnir. In the year 460 of the Imperial Calendar, the current Viscount and Viscountess of Fafnir perished in a spaceship accident, leaving their only son to be raised by the elderly steward of the household, with the title and annual income being held in trust by a special committee of the Imperial Heraldry Institute - due to the rarity of both the Fafnir family line and that of his mother's.
The Fafnir (Dragon) family was a newly promoted noble family in the Imperial Court, elevated from imperial knights only 35 years ago. In the year 360 of the Imperial Calendar, the current Baron of the Fafnir Palace successfully took sides in the struggle for the throne and obtained a hereditary barony. This family has a peculiar habit - they rarely intermarry with other nobles, but instead prefer to associate with commoners. As a result, they are often ridiculed and looked down upon as "new nobility" in imperial salons. The family also produces many prodigal sons who indulge in lowly pleasures that go against the traditional tastes of the imperial nobility. Fortunately, whenever the family is on the verge of bankruptcy, they manage to turn their fortunes around, and although the heirs are often absurd, they have never taken sides incorrectly. Therefore, when Emperor Friedrich IV ascended to the throne, they once again took sides correctly and were promoted to hereditary viscounts. This family, like its name, has a weak reproductive capacity, almost going extinct several times, with only one heir per generation...
The ninth generation of Viscount Favoniel is now this infant, also the incarnation of Bavor when he came into this world with his name and appearance during World War II. However, without using supernatural powers, he grew up like an ordinary child, and his memories were restored bit by bit. By the year 465 of the Imperial Calendar, according to the tradition of the imperial nobility, 7-year-old Rudolf von Favoniel entered the Imperial Nobles' Youth Military Academy.
The life in the military academy is regular but dull, however, the nobles always have privileges, they have commoner students as servants, even high-ranking commoner students do not dare to be rude to lower-ranking noble classmates.
Fafnir silently and quietly graduated from the juvenile military academy, during which he also recovered all his memories. He fully grew up in this world, and although his body couldn't use supernatural powers, it was originally an extremely robust body. Therefore, Fafnir's physical abilities far exceeded those of children of the same age, but due to the arrangement of the world's ruler, the physical examination was completely undetectable.
In the 473rd year of the Empire, Favniel entered the Imperial Military Academy. The fifteen-year-old boy had just entered the military academy and was given a warning.
"This world of Legend of the Galactic Heroes, everyday life on the Empire's side is so dull. Damn Imperial Cultural Inspection Bureau, can't you just let go like the Alliance? It's so annoying that even to watch a porn video, we have to smuggle in an Alliance-made one, and the educational videos made in the Empire are basically things that were specifically made for those German guys... watching them will make you blind!" complained young Fafnir.
At this time, a senior noble student came to the dormitory door and asked Fafnir and his peers to go sweep the dormitory, polish shoes, etc. for the seniors. The military academy is a strict class society, and it is natural for lower-ranking students to do this for higher-ranking students. Fafnir was no exception, and he also completed his work with high standards - polishing boots for senior students.
But when some senior students who had returned from a trip and were drunk asked Fafnir and several junior students they met to perform a lewd dance, this guy punched them. Before his classmates held him back, those senior students had already been beaten sober.
After a few days, the senior students came back to pick on him. From then on, the most enjoyable sport in Fafnir's three-year high school career - having a big fight with a group of junior and senior students - began with a bang.
Gustav von Schlachtenburg, the only son of Baron Schlachtenburg, was born in Imperial Year 458. He attended the Imperial Noble Elementary School in Imperial Year 465 and was sent to the Imperial Military Academy in Imperial Year 473 due to his father's inability to discipline him. However, Gustav continued his old ways at the academy, where he discovered that many noble students had a strong demand for narcotics and other illicit substances. He utilized his connections with underground elements from his elementary school days to smuggle these substances into the academy, opening an underground pharmacy. During a brawl between lower- and upper-class students, Gustav met Rudolf von Fauvern, the most skilled fighter among them. The two unexpectedly got along well, and soon, in every subsequent brawl, Rudolf would charge forward while Gustav provided cover from behind.
Finally, the school authorities took action. The military police from the Training Department dragged Fafnir to the military academy's detention center. A bald lieutenant colonel looked at the young man in front of him and said: "Cadet Fafnir!"
"Arrived!"
"You're quite good at fighting! Why don't you transfer to the Marine Corps? General Ovresha, the armored grenadier, welcomes a young fellow like you. How about it? Want to switch majors?"
"Reporting to the instructor! I don't want to transfer!"
"Is this the kind of attitude you should have as a commander?! The army is a thorough class society, do you understand?! It's absolutely not allowed to disobey superiors! According to what I said, just expel or shoot this trash directly! Is this the kind of behavior expected from a military academy student?!" the lieutenant colonel thundered.
"Sorry! Instructor! I was wrong!" Fafnir immediately stood at attention and apologized very sincerely.
"Lock yourself up for a week! Strengthen your health for a month! And then you'll be going on double shifts every day until I say 'good'!" Spit flew straight onto Fafnir's face.
"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!" Then the constable dragged Favniel away to the guardhouse. Shutekhov was a fast runner and managed to slip away successfully. He kindly took over Favniel's night watch duty, and their friendship deepened from then on.
Although the school authorities strongly suppressed the gang fights between lower-grade students and upper-grade students, the military academy was a place of fiery passion. In the end, the school authorities simply turned a blind eye as long as it wasn't a massive brawl involving hundreds of people. Fafnir earned a great reputation, earning the nickname "Dragon" in both his own grade and the higher grades - after all, the meaning of his surname was also dragon.
The tactics teacher and grade supervisor of the first-year students is Major General Melquiaz, who due to physical reasons needs rest, so the Military Command arranged for him to teach at a higher military school. Fafnir in simulated command of the fleet was just like his teacher - not seeking merit, but seeking no fault. This was completely opposite to his solo battles in the past, and it was very similar to Bao Fu's personality when playing chess games in the original world.
In the 474th year of the Empire, in a military school, behind Favniel and Shutukehaojian's buttocks, another tail was added - Dick von Karl, the youngest son of Baron Karl, who was one year younger than them. This kid had been fond of gambling since childhood, and due to his family's relationship with Gustav, he often borrowed money from him but never paid it back. This little problem child also followed in the footsteps of his older brother Gustav and joined the military school, where he began to pester Favniel for loans shamelessly. The Favniel family had been a family of spendthrifts for generations, so they got along well with this gambler and quack doctor. In the summer of 474 in the Empire, the three guys finally lost their virginity during a night out after climbing over the wall... Karl was fond of gambling but not women, so he usually hung out in the underground casinos of the Imperial Capital Odin; the other two guys, Favniel and Shutukehaojian, from then on frequented the lower-class brothels of the Imperial Capital Odin...
In the year 476 of the Imperial Calendar, Favniel succeeded to the viscountcy and graduated from the Advanced Military Academy together with Shuttkalf. Both of their grades were barely passing, usually ranking after 1800 among over 2000 classmates...
Fortunately, the Empire valued titles after all. With the title of Viscount, Favner successfully rose to the rank of Captain and became the captain of an Imperial destroyer, while Lieutenant Shuttkal was his deputy captain and chief of staff.
In the 479th year of the Galactic Empire, Captain Favner became the commander of a destroyer squadron and followed the main forces to participate in the battle against the Allied El Facil star system. This small team added a Lieutenant Dick von Karl grenadier, who was assigned as the landing commander of this squadron.
They witnessed the birth of the Alliance's legend together. Although the El'gorothian Empire occupied the El'gorothian star system, they gained nothing except for annihilating most of the Alliance fleet stationed there. Later, under the counterattack of the Alliance fleet, they were even driven out of the El'gorothian star system. The Alliance gave birth to a hero... Fafnir also fought bravely in the battle to annihilate the stationed fleet, using his destroyer's orbital cannon to successfully destroy the Alliance's command system, making great contributions to the annihilation of this fleet. In Imperial Year 479, Fafnir was promoted to lieutenant colonel and became the captain of a cruiser, while his three friends also followed him in the transfer - these three people were all headaches for their superiors, examples of disregard for military discipline, and just happened to be nobles, so their superiors' way of dealing with them was: get out together!
