The old butler put his hand on the table, his fingers intertwined. He www.biquge.info quietly stared at the veins that were swelling with age. Next to it was a neat pile of papers, stamped with a bright red seal, unprocessed, and a thick stack.

Then he spread his hand, his fingers still bulging, and his fingers began to tap rhythmically on the tabletop, making a "thump" sound. Looking back at the large bronze clock on the wall in front of him, until the second hand approached the "twelve" scale on the dial one by one, and then saw that the second hand and the minute hand coincided. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sound of fingers ceased.

The old butler reached out and picked up the listening tube, adjusted the frequency to the unique frequency, pressed the button to apply for communication, and waited quietly in the silent room for it to be connected.

As time passed, the old butler's face became more gloomy, and at last there was no luster on it, as if it was hidden in a black shadow. He wanted to hang up this application, but his body was already condensed, and he was getting older.

"Hey, old butler. The usual sound sounded over there, almost retelling it by a machine, and a faint echo could be heard, as if it were in a large empty room.

"Yes, sir、、、、" The old butler hurriedly replied, and there was still a word to say, but he was interrupted on the way.

"Good news, the cargo is over?" said in a faint questioning tone.

"It was on time, but it seemed like something was wrong in the middle. The old butler's head raced, thinking of everything that would not provoke the other party, but who could calmly accept the words of the words.

"I don't want to hear about the process, what happened to the results. Did it go smoothly, or something else? I don't have any time to spare. ”

"The retrain departed smoothly, but a little earlier. The old butler said, his tone calm, "It's just that Norentel can't be contacted on the other side, and it's also on the relist、、、 probably because of the weather, the heavy snowfall here hasn't completely stopped." ”

"Do you think it's possible? There was a mocking laugh, and then it quickly turned to anger, "Everything is according to my orders! You must know what the consequences will be if you do not obey orders! I will be back in two days, hoping that what will reach my ears at that time will be a perfect good news." ”

"Yes、、、、"

"Also, tell Norental that he doesn't have to come back. Here the communication was hung up, and a murmur poured out of the listening tube.

The old butler was still stunned, and the words "he may not be able to come back" were also blocked in his throat, and there was no chance to say it again.

After thinking about it, the old housekeeper contacted another person.

"Old butler, I haven't seen you for a long time. Didn't you follow the commander to the Vethya Fortress?" was a rather majestic man's voice, probably on the edge of the shooting range, and he could hear the sound of violent gunfire, "What's the matter?"

"Someone has to deal with things here, and you can't leave. The butler laughed, hesitated, "Norentel is dead, I need some men." ”

"Old butler, I still have something to do here, I'll come and talk to you later. The gunfire was too loud to hear. "The sound over there is really getting quieter and quieter, and in an instant, the gunfire takes up all the communication space.

"About a year ago, I remember that there seemed to be a supply at the base of the volcano, close to fifty wagons. Later, I encountered an accident on the way, saying that there were more than a dozen sections of things that encountered heavy water on the way, and all of them were scrapped. The documents are very complete, and the military department doesn't care about it, and the volcano base doesn't seem to have made detailed storage records、、、、"

"Old butler," the voice returned, with a smile, "this side just happens to be training, they are all strong soldiers, and they have no place to use their strength, and the shooting range is too boring for them." I don't know if there's any good place to exercise them over there. ”

"Absolutely. Thank you in advance, it's a small thing, and it's right to help each other. The old housekeeper exchanged a few words again, and then hung up the communication with a gloomy face.

"Whew、、、" He always felt that something in his chest couldn't spit out, and his fingers unconsciously pounded heavily on the table. I took a document and opened it, but none of the lead words on it were put into my eyes.

He stood up, picked up the cup beside him, and drank the water in one gulp. By the time he put down the cup, he was already standing in front of the filing cabinet next to the table. There is a cassette inside the cabinet, which is very small, and it belongs to the kind of concealment that cannot be seen without smashing the cabinet open.

Inside there is another pocket-sized communicator, covered with anti-static plastic, neatly wrapped, and it has not been used since it left the factory. The old butler turned him on and pressed the button, and soon someone on the other side was connected, but no one spoke, only the faint sound of breathing could be heard.

"In the coastal area, don't we have a place to live there? It won't be long before the military department has a long vacation here, I'm going to go over, you go and live first, just a few days, it's good to hurry up in time, I'll do an airship over, the speed is much faster than you, don't wait for me to arrive, you haven't gone yet. ”

There was no talk there, and then the old butler hung up. He picked up the large briefcase on his desk and placed the pocket machine inside. There was a knock on the door, and he tucked his briefcase under his arm, walked over and opened the door. A woman in military uniform stood there and saluted the old butler with a standard military salute.

"Hello sir, I'm 、、、、"

The old housekeeper waved his hand: "Just lead the way ahead, this time it's an urgent task, I'll personally lead the team over." ”

In less than ten minutes, dozens of airboats rose steadily from the airport. The wind whistled high in the air, and the airboat began to shake violently. I wanted to apply for a military airship again, but in non-war times, even the highest commander of the volcano base needs a series of cumbersome procedures to dispatch, and all documents have to be handed over to the Imperial Military Department and stored in the super analysis machine as a file. He didn't have the power at all, and he didn't have the right way, and the ship they drove away from Norrental had already consumed too much of their energy to deal with.

、、、、、、

Sorting out the processed documents. One was set aside, and he picked up the document and threw it into the shredder, watching as it was churned into powder. Just as he was holding a bag to pack the powder, there was a knock on the door. There was only one ring, and before he could respond, the door was opened.

Himia walked in, closed the door, and threw the latest notice on the table.

"It's supposed to be time off at school. She said, pulling over the chair in front of her and sitting down, watching as she poured the powdered paper from the shredder basket into the bag, crumpled it up, and put it in her trouser pocket.

"What age? Still thinking about this. He replied, flattening his swollen trouser pockets.

"Adult women under the age of fifty. Himia said, "Don't you know that you are tired, and the day is about to pass again, and it feels like a burden to live longer." He sighed indifferently, but his eyes glanced at his trouser pockets.

"Based on the age of the person who operated on you, you're still an energetic young man. He picked up the paper that Hemia had thrown on the table and looked at it.

"It's been so busy at this time, and that's how it used to be?" asked two questions in succession, and Hemiah looked at him.

"I don't know, the last time I was a soldier running around on the battlefield, and it was only a few decades ago that I went to the military academy. What was the situation at the military school at that time, I don't know at all. Let's just take the current state as normal. "The people in the extreme region are coming back, and the time seems to be a little earlier, I thought it would be at least after this New Year." Manoma is in chaos now, and the people above really want to add a little more energy to this place?"

"I don't know, no matter how chaotic it is, it won't affect their level. It's just us who are in trouble, you see that last bit of stuff. In their eyes, what exactly is the positioning of the military school?"

Skimming through the cumbersome instructions in the middle, he flipped to the end of the document, which was an annex with the title "Resolution on the Placement of Personnel," which began with a series of procedural instructions. Naturally, he ignored it, and finally fixed his eyes on a few lines.

"The first batch of personnel totaled 150,000 people, and in view of the loss of students in the military school, the dormitories that had been left vacant were used to house these personnel. "This document says something so important, and the results will be given in a week." ”

"Simple things, just leave it to the super analyzer to distribute it yourself, a small calculation in less than a minute. "I didn't care.

"If you deal with it so simply, maybe the military school will be a little more lively than Manoma in the New Year. Hemiah didn't understand what he meant, "Be serious!"

"Don't worry, the dormitories of the military school are mostly empty all year round. "But our own detention building has more empty space inside." Whether there will be enough space or not, there is no need to think about it at all. Just stuff someone inside, and no one will beat you. ”

Himia smiled and shook her head, speechless for a moment.
