"This invitation was delivered to your residence in the City of Radiance by the Embassy of the Virginia Empire in Auckland a month ago. However, you were already gone when the letter arrived, so you had to pass it on to our embassy and then to me. ”

Because Lu Xi had been crushed by the grass and mud horses he had used in his heart, he didn't think about why the invitation received by the embassy would come to the hands of the military governor.

"I know you don't want to be a patrol envoy anymore, but there's no reason to quit after a year of service, so I'll keep this position for you for the time being." Rassell sat behind his desk, his elbows propped up on the table, his fists clenched over the bottom half of his face. If it weren't for the narrowness in those eyes, he couldn't hide it, but he really looked like a certain undisciplined middle second commander.

"I originally thought that the position of diplomat was just a façade, but you did a strange job, not only did you get along well with the rulers of Auckland, but even Virginia also formed such a good relationship, it is better to make a cameo appearance for a while. Since it was an invitation sent by the Nord royal family in person, we have no reason to refuse, you say? ”

Lu Xi couldn't help sighing, tore open the envelope and took out the letter from the middle, and glanced at it quickly, Juanxiu's font made him suddenly in a trance: "This is a private invitation letter written to me by Artoria." Master, should I visit as an emissary of the Federation, or as a private person? ”

"There is no difference in this, judging by today's facts, even if you only think that it is a friend visit in your heart, it will never be simple!"

Those dark green eyes that were majestic and majestic, but did not contain any impurities and darkness, flashed in Lu Xi's heart. The future Nord Empress, her gaze may never linger for a second in the dirty and filthy shadows. Such a person must be able to become a qualified idol, right? But can you really be a qualified leader?

Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh: "At least I can be sure that when Artoria wrote to me, she didn't contain any utilitarian meaning, she just invited me. ”

But her father and brother would never be so simple. Lu Xi. You have to understand that even if His Majesty Otto dies and His Royal Highness Artoria succeeds to the throne, the real rulers of Virgia must be the other three Highnesses, because their sisters are knights. And they are all mature politicians. ”

"For the political family. Even if it's a sister control, she will definitely find enough political interests from all kinds of undisciplined stupid things, right? Tsk, although I expected it for a long time, but when I thought of that big bad egg, I could also ruthlessly play all kinds of political conspiracy. I always feel like the characters are collapsing. ”

"Big Bad Eggs?"

"Don't worry about it, it's just periodontitis caused by undisciplined stomach pain."

“…… All in all, like you just said, the Federation needs allies. The small states of High Court, Milan, Vicker, and the Five Fingers Alliance diverted at most some of the military power of the Undead of Henas. Although it is cruel to say this, for a large country like ours. To put it bluntly, small countries are just cannon fodder, and their allies are not qualified enough. ”

This statement is really cruel! Although I have to admit that he has a point.

"The so-called allies should at least be able to help us draw and even destroy the enemy's vital forces with sufficient weight. Virgia is a giant bear that has been dormant on the plateau for nearly half a century, and its strength cannot be ignored. In addition, due to the problems left over from history and the control of the Great Lakes, there is a fierce war with the orcs every year. If this country is willing to form an alliance with us to participate in the war, the main force of the orcs should not dare to act rashly. At least for a long time, we'll just have to deal with the undead. Fortunately, we still have a lot of experience in this area, and we shouldn't be too out of control. ”

"We already have allies. O overlord of the world under the Sun King, the eternal Holy Empire! If we were so reckless in having an affair with Virginia, wouldn't we offend this old friend? ”

"If the Sun King had been ten years younger, this conversation would not have happened today. If there is no problem with the royal lineage of the Holy Spring, I will also abandon the olive branch thrown by the Nords. But. Now I can't judge the direction of the Oakland Empire's politics in the next ten years, so I can only use the most realistic method to make decisions about the future. Today's giants may suddenly die of illness tomorrow, and they will become nourishment for others. ”

"The older the country, the more hidden hole cards and monsters beyond common sense. Be careful not to eat mutton and make a fuss. Lu Xi pursed his lips and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.

"Why me? Anyway, I, as a diplomat, made a cameo. With such a big thing as a national alliance, I, a non-professional, am not afraid that I will mess it up? ”

"The giant can die of a sudden illness, or maybe heal suddenly, and then he will smash the clowns who bared his teeth from him one by one. Because of this, it is impossible for the Federation to send an official mission to Virginia, and you with the friendship of the Nord royal family and a personal invitation are the best choice. If Otto and his sons were not fools, they would have understood what we meant. ”

To put it bluntly, I'm just a façade, right?

Looking at Lu Xi's expression as if he was constipated, Rassell smiled: "Don't worry, the real transactional work is naturally handled secretly by professional people." All you have to do is go to this big festival as a friend of Artoria, and you should give yourself a big vacation. You're a representative of the young people in the league, so just show off your style, but don't let the Virgians underestimate you. Well, that's my only request. ”

Under the pretext of the country's sacred diplomatic career, going abroad under the banner of the leader's order to have a lot of fun, and even eating and taking and even spending time and wine can be reimbursed with the state treasury, it will definitely be a long-awaited good thing for many people, anyway, this kind of thing is not once or twice in the Federation.

But in this way, isn't it the same as the group of officials who are full of brains and intestines and sanctimonious after crossing through a certain democratic federation before and after crossing through a certain democratic federation, and a certain brain cell and intestinal knot are full of male thieves and female prostitutes? Although Lu Xi felt that his discipline had already been squandered, he really couldn't overcome the psychological pressure of being in the company of those people.

So, Lu Xi, who had a "beauty difference", walked out of Rassell's mansion with his head down, and then heard a loud greeting.

"Wow! It's been a long time. ”

This is a familiar voice, and the owner of this voice is also a familiar person. He was about twenty years old, standing on the side of the road in the residence, dressed in a neat military coat with the rank of lieutenant pinned to the epaulettes of his collar. Standing straight, like a tall pine and cypress, just standing like this, actually caused a lot of turning heads, of course. Mostly hungry and thirsty.

The appearance of the other party should still belong to an acquaintance of Lu Xi. But his temperament in memory should be more hanging, a little more non-mainstream, belonging to the kind of purse in his hand and the fullness of the content in the brain is inversely proportional, and the next day he will be dragged to the corner of a dark alley to the corner of the chrysanthemum to death of the non-mainstream rich second generation.

Now this young man who is full of the hearty temperament of the handsome man in the army is swollen? Could it be my delusion?

Well, it must be an illusion......

"I'm sorry. Who are you? ”

"Oh, it's rude, it's Carol down there, Carol? Rossiudit ...... You're big! Why do you want me to introduce myself? I said how long it had been! We've carried guns and fought together, lived and died together, and we're still partners who make money! Is it that so many dividends every month to be sent to the dog's belly? Why are you so indifferent to putting on an expression that you don't know me at all? ”

"Well. I haven't shown up for so long.,Accidentally became a pure master 2.0 upgraded version.,Even it takes me a certain amount of time to get used to.。 How's it going, how is life in a military school? Have you soaked two black silk long-legged heroic uniform girls, this should be very in line with your taste. ”

"There are still a lot of beautiful women in black silk and long-legged uniforms, from instructors to health care doctor sisters to senior sisters." Carol licked her face twice, and then sighed sadly: "It's a pity that Wei'er watched too closely and didn't have a chance at all." ”

"Opportunities are all created by themselves. Look at me, now I am almost inseparable from the two girls all the time. It's not the same that the red flag at home does not fall, and the colorful flags flutter outside? ”

“…… In other words, who is the red flag in your home? ”

"Who the hell is this?" Tsk, just a rich second generation. They can actually ask me, this world has really evolved so much that I can't recognize it.

Lu Xi knew that Carol must have lived a hard life in the military academy for a long time, not only in the change in temperament. It is also reflected in the increase in strength. I haven't seen him for a year, and his strength has actually broken through the silver position. He can already be regarded as a qualified battle mage. He is not a genius, and the fact that he has made such progress is enough to show that he has put in the effort he has put in this year, and as a rich man who grew up with a golden soup spoon, he has indeed made a lot of determination.

"I know that I can't match you in terms of talent, but as a partner, you can't lag too far behind. If you don't work hard, the distance may get farther and farther in the future. Carol was embarrassed, but then sighed: "But now it seems that the distance is not shortening, but is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"The distance between people is not due to brute force, but because of entanglement." Lu Xi pursed his lips angrily: "You have already seen Sai Xiliu and them?" ”

"I've seen it! They were picked up by me and Weier, and I was expecting to pick you up, but I didn't expect the military department to arrive first. ”

"Mr. Mu, have you seen it too? What do you think? ”

"Well, I just think it's a weirdo. Anyway, the old brother has already come over and picked up the person in person. Carol spread her hands and said, "I don't know anything about business, but it seems that my father and brother are still quite interested, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?" ”

"Eh, even if you don't understand it, you have to understand it." Lu Xi shook his head hatefully: "You also have a large share of the business there!" I don't even care about my own money, and I am careful that I will be cheated by my partner and even lose my wife. ”

"Then will you trap me?"

…… Well, you guy has really evolved a lot, just a gentleman, and he actually stopped me for the second time.

"By the way, where's Vile?"

"I've asked her to take the Chairman and Lim to the dining room to reserve a seat. We haven't seen each other for so long, we have to get together, right? ”
