Chapter 625: Give Me a Reasonable Reason
For ordinary soldiers, the battle ended with a brilliant victory, and naturally it was time for cheers and celebrations. But for the big guys, ordinary people rest is often their busiest and most tired moment, otherwise why call themselves big guys?
Sure enough, it's still like me, or Mr. Orucello, his old man, who has the best chic lifestyle, if you want to brush up your reputation, you can brush your reputation, if you want to save the world, you can save the world, whether it is body or soul, it is free, and more importantly, after you have enough prestige points to get the benefits, you will not be dragged down by paperwork and open guns and arrows in the workplace. The "trip that they said they would go" in their hometown was nothing more than a whimsical idea.
A pure person like Master Russell, who is full of social responsibility, class mission, and low-level interests, and wants to make the world a better place by himself, although we admire him, we really don't want to take him as an example at all! Martyrs can go down in the ages and most become cannon fodder for the new world. Even if there is a person who really has the talent to swallow mountains and rivers and the aura of the protagonist, he really pushes the door to the new world by himself, but unfortunately there are those ungrateful beings who are enjoying the shadow they have left behind, and insulting and hating themselves on the other - either despicable people with ulterior motives, or simple fools.
But it's a pity that this world is full of vulgar beings, and fools who will be fooled and used by despicable people.
I really can't become a great man who pushes open the door to the new world, hiding behind the scenes to be a hidden boss who gets real profits, which is more in line with the dark character setting of a technical nerd, right?
Maybe that's because of this idea. In Commander Halda? In Major General Dandy Lane's office, when Lu Xi saw the priceless messenger crystal, Master Russell seemed much thinner than last time. He didn't feel strange at all, and looked at the other party's gaze with even a little more pity and sympathy.
"I thought there was going to be a big crowd waiting for me to pick a thorn when I made a presentation. It's a good opportunity to brush up on the prestige value and the old bureaucratic man who has a sense of zĂ i. Lu Xi said.
"This happens every day in Congress, but in reality nothing can be decided." The commander, whose temperament and style were very close to that of a gold medal year on the Cowherd, showed a cynical smile: "The things that can be discussed at the meeting of more than ten people are decided before the meeting." Of course, as long as you can convince the attendees that their opinions do make a big difference to the final decision, the game can continue. â
"Well, you really understand. Such a masterful wisdom is really beyond the reach of the lower officials. Lu Xi looked at the image of Master Rassell in the crystal ball. The appearance of the Great Demon Mentor and Minister of War in the Transmission Crystal is a little distorted, but it can also be seen that the other party complained about the undisciplined politics between Lu Xi and the commander. As if he hadn't heard it at all, he was completely indifferent.
"So, now this is the secret video conference that can 'decide the big thing'? It's just a lot of fashion, right? Some of the occult props have effects that would make my proud technology so humiliating that I sometimes wonder if what I'm doing is taking off my pants and farting. Lu Xi said.
"Every minute of communication with the Messenger Crystal consumes a lot of resources and energy, so let's get straight to the point. Lu Xi," replied the Minister of War of the Natya Federation.
Perhaps because of the fact that they are separated by a crystal ball, the two people, who are actually thousands of kilometers apart, did not even have a personal greeting or greeting, so they went directly to the "main topic". But. It is interesting to note that Master Russell is addressed as "Luxi" rather than "Colonel Berencaster". With the relationship between the two, he can certainly use this casual and affectionate name, but it should be in an informal setting. But it shouldn't be in such an official meeting, especially when there are "outsiders" nearby. And what we need to know is that no matter how colorful this "outsider" is. After all, the surname is Dandy Lane, after all, he is a member of the Dandelion family. Master Rassell's congenital political enemies.
An old politician who has been in the officialdom for so long to get into the top position in the military defense system, even if it is a martyr of the so-called Qing School. You wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, would you?
Nima: There's so much information about it, I'm about to be scared to pee. Lu Xi looked at His Excellency the Lieutenant General next to him with inexplicable eyes, but he only got a cynical smirk, and immediately had to roll his eyes vigorously.
"First of all, as Federal Secretary of State, I must thank you on behalf of the country. Captain. Master Russell glanced at Lu Xi deeply, and Lu Xi finally saw the official gratitude in the other party's eyes, as well as the well-hidden affection and vague pride.
This archmage really regarded Lu Xi as his son and nephew, and when he saw that the other party had made such a feat, he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he actually had a somewhat unwarranted sense of pride like "our family's XX is a cow break".
But in any case, Lu Xi saved the battle and set up a great feats that could not be questioned by the faction and the aristocratic sect, as well as the group of well-known parliamentarians.
"Soon you will receive your second platinum six-pointed medal...... and the Order of the Blue Sky, the highest honor of the Union. Hehe, even Mr. Orucello was almost thirty years old when he received this medal. â
Yes, yes, this medal is amazing! It is said that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the total number of winners has only been more than 200, but it is still the same sentence, this thing can't be tax-free, isn't there a little affordable?
"Those who hold the Order of the Blue Sky are called 'Heroes of the Federation' and receive a special congressional allowance of 300 kimila per year, free admission to the Elichar Grand Theatre, free travel on all state-run infrastructure, and a three-month travel ......abroad at public expense every five years."
"As a member of the Confederacy, as a member of the Confederation, this is what I should do. Hey, hey, hey......"
"In addition, as the head of the military and political system. I also sent your application for promotion to Congress. You know, in the Federation. All generals' confessions require congressional approval, which takes a certain amount of time. However, it is estimated that you will not have to wait too long, and if you complete the task that will be given to you soon, maybe when you return to the capital, even if you immediately hang two stars on your shoulders, no one will dare to object. Hehe, twenty-year-old Major General. It's already a living legend. â
I've seen all the twenty-year-old marshals, what is a major general? But if I really become a marshal at this age, I will definitely hang up before the age of twenty-five, right? This is a curse, I didn't run...... No, that's not the point at all!
Lu Xi was silent for half a minute, his eyes widened as if he didn't hear clearly, he muttered for a few seconds, tilted his head, and showed a confused expression: "Mission? â
"A request, to be exact." Master Russell said earnestly.
"You want to say it as an order. I wouldn't be so thrilled. But you say it's a request...... Now my stomach is starting to squeak and the alarm is going off, and I'm about to cramp, you know? â
"Because I'm more entangled than you are, Lu Xi." The Minister of War looked at Lu Xi and said with a smile: "From the position of the Federal Minister of War, of course I eagerly hope that you will take on this task; But. From my personal standpoint, I found that neither the country nor me. There is no right to ask you to risk your life again. You've done enough. â
Lu Xi didn't know if the old man was telling the truth, or if it was just a simple art of language. Persuasion tactically detoured, but he preferred to believe that it was the former.
ââŚâŚ Up to now. I've been through life-threatening many times, Master. There are those who die by myself, and there are those who I will, but there are also many who do it for others. Lu Xi stared at the vague influence in the crystal ball and pondered for a moment: "As long as it is a reasonable reason, I am naturally willing to accept it." â
Master Russell didn't speak for a moment, but Lieutenant General Halda, who seemed to have a lot of information on him, had already stepped aside and poured two glasses of wine for the silver cup Li. It's still the ale that the two of them drank last time, the kind of dwarf ale that tastes very masculine.
"You've captured the Lich once, and the Image, right?"
ââŚâŚ Remember, the first boss who almost wiped me out, right? Remember that guy was still a member of the Council of the Dead, right? "Actually, it was the cold Lei Guang captive, and it really has nothing to do with me. Speaking of which, after this guy's life box was taken away by the top, he really took it and was SM? But I haven't seen any big moves from the Federation for so long, and I guess I haven't plucked any reliable information out of that guy's mouth.
As for the fate of the scathing and eccentric Mr. Lich now, it must be a sad story, and Lu Xi is not prepared to know.
"It's just a peripheral member. Strictly speaking, all liches are members of the Council of the Dead, but most are actually Sandrus guys. â
It took Lu Xi a minute to remember that the so-called Desandru was the name of the lich who almost wiped out his group.
"This time, however, our captive lich is Tiahr, a member of the Council of the Dead, the decision-making body of the Council of the Dead, and one of the most trusted aides of the Ring Leader Githil, otherwise he would not have served as an overseer and lieutenant marshal of this size." Speaking of this, Rassell paused: "Lu Xi, thank those young ladies for me, and please sue them, the federal government will quickly pay the bounty that should belong to them in full...... Originally, it stands to reason that they have made such a great achievement, even if they are mercenaries, they are enough to get a medal. But you know, their identities are a bit special after all, and it's not good for me to come forward directly. â
There's no way, the teacher of the three sisters, that is, the old man of the uncle, is still a wanted criminal. If it weren't for the fact that the Wind Girl Paper has laundered the organization to do all kinds of "chivalrous tasks" in the past few years, and the prestige value has been brushed up, plus they are also extremely powerful, and they also have a private army with not weak combat effectiveness in their hands, the federal government may have directly detained them, let alone bounties or something.
ââŚâŚ I get it in general. Master, my colleagues must have learned some very useful information from the lich named Tiahr. Lu Xi looked at Lieutenant General Halda, who was sitting on the side without saying a word: "Then, the task I have to do now should be to transform this intelligence into an action of strategic superiority on the spot." â
The blurry image in the crystal ball and Mr. Lieutenant General outside the crystal ball glanced at each other, and Lu Xi suddenly knew that he had guessed correctly.
He narcissized himself for a few seconds for his wit, and then said in a narrow tone, "Let me guess...... It would be for you to make such a solemn request: it is not for me to secretly infiltrate the heart of the Henas Peninsula and destroy the dark canopy so that the Federation and the Knights of the Sun plus the Dragon Knights can descend from the sky? â
Then, the increasingly subtle expressions of the two people in the room made Lu Xi understand that he had guessed correctly again. (To be continued......)
