Chapter 20 Someone from the Capital

"Lu Lu, it's been almost a month since you left, and I feel a little lonely without you by my side. Everyone misses you so much, so come back more when you have time. Don't forget, Noorda is your home.

During this time, my sister and teacher were busy with something. Le Grasse and Hardier held a large number of inexplicable reports and essays every day, and their faces were sad. It seems that what you said is right, the company will definitely lose money this quarter. But didn't you give me all the shares before you left? Is it possible that I still have to pay upside down? Lu Lu, you must give me an explanation!

At this time, everyone is busy organizing various activities in order to win back customers, but the effect is not very good, without you, everyone seems to know how to run the company. Sure enough, my Lu Lu is the best! So, did you say that the new business was found?

PS: The Crypt Lord who attacked us last time has not been found, but the monsters in the forest have been almost cleared. However, my sister and teacher seem to have encountered some troubles, and they have been worried for two weeks. But they refused to tell me, in fact, I have always wanted to share some worries for them.

Ps and Ps: This year's fresh holy moss and pure fruit are ripe, and I sent them together. Don't forget to write me a reply and maltose.

Ps3: I heard that "Song of the Dawn" has come out to the fourth volume, but when we can buy it here, at least next year, Lu Lu, you must help me buy it and send it. I want to see how humans write the stories of their teachers, my sister, and Brother Parn.

Your Nicole. ”

The letter was apparently written by Nivea a month after Lu Xi's departure, but it was already the first week of September when it reached him, and it had been less than half a year since he arrived on Rainbow Rose Island. In this regard, Lu Xi also had to despise the postal efficiency of the current medieval world, and it is no wonder that a historical novel of Nadia will have to wait more than half a year for Gloren to be listed.

At this time, he was sitting on the grass by the lake. A carriage-free path winds its way through the woods right in front of it to the castle on the hill.

Lu Xi folded Nicole's letter and put it in the pocket of his shirt, and decided to write a reply before going to bed at night, and now he should finish the homework in his hand. He opened the book and took notes carefully.

According to Orucello's philosophy, a great mage should not only fight using arcane methods, but also master the knowledge of naturalism, alchemy, engineering, and so on. Connecting the power of arcane law with human life and promoting the progress of civilization in a real sense. Otherwise, it is no different from a barbarian who fights bravely.

The reason why the Learned Alliance has become the only ruling group in the Sky World is not only because of the arcane power they possess, but because they hold the most cutting-edge scholarship and knowledge.

After returning from the garrison, Orucello's training for Lu Xi did not stop at magic training, but also began to increase the learning of the above knowledge. As a result, Lu Xi suddenly felt that his life seemed to return to the vast sea of questions from his middle school days before he crossed over.

Orucello may have cultivated Lu Xi based on himself, but the latter really can't appreciate it. Alchemy, engineering, and Shenma, in fact, is just chemistry and physics with a different name, and because of the consideration of more magical effects, its complexity is even higher than the former, but he has not been interested in science and engineering at all since he was a child.

If it weren't for the system to help upgrade, I'm afraid I would have drowned in these cumbersome calculations long ago.

But even if he smashed all the experience points earned from the bandit suppression mission to the "Alchemy Foundation" and "Engineering Foundation", and upgraded them to level 4 and 3 respectively, it was only the level of an ordinary graduate of the Central Academy of Magic, and it was still far from Orucello's requirements. …,

"Experience can't be used indiscriminately, otherwise it's a bottomless pit." Lu Xi watched the experience he had just gained clear again, and couldn't help but hug his head and wail, and finally honestly gnawed on the book like an ordinary student.

After patiently reading the arranged materials and taking notes carefully, Lu Xi took a long breath. He clipped the book and notebook together, and as soon as he stood up, he noticed that there was already a person on the path next to him, looking at him with a smile.

It was a young man of twenty-five years old, dressed in a modest silver-gray summer dress, with an intricate and elegant red dragon badge on his chest. He has a pleasing flaxen hair, a delicate and elegant bookish atmosphere, and a smile on the corner of his mouth, which looks generous and decent.

In terms of the theory of same-sex repulsion, Lu Xi, who is still a pseudo-mother, should be very unpleasant to the rich and handsome who looks like an elite at such a glance, but I have to say that this young man's temperament is really too elegant in the sun, and anyone's first impression of him should be very good.

"What's the matter?" Because the other party's smile was so refreshing, Lu Xi had to squeeze out a particularly friendly business smile on his face and asked.

"Excuse me, how is Master Orucello's house going?"

"It's the castle that looks tasteless, just follow this path...... Forget it, I'm going back anyway, so you can come with me. ”

"Oh, thank you so much."

The two of them walked side by side on the path, and after a while, the young man suddenly asked, "You should be Master Orucello's new disciple, right?" ”

"It's just an assistant, not a disciple yet." Lu Xi replied.

"Hehe, it's okay," the young man smiled, "and everybody knows what's going on?" ”

Lu Xi's heart sank, and Olivier's reminder to himself suddenly came to mind. Wouldn't this guy in front of him also be one of the people who coveted Orucello's disciple status and envied and hated him.

As if he saw Lu Xi's thoughts, the other party quickly shook his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand." I already have a teacher, and although Master Orucello is my idol, I don't want to betray my teacher because of this."

He paused and held out his hand: "My name is Arantis Narciss, and I am a disciple of Master Rassel. Nice to meet you. ”

Lu Xi pondered for a moment, and Rassell's information quickly turned in his mind.

Rassell Clement, Doctor of the Learned Alliance, is one of the four to hold the title of "Grand Magister", the highest title of magician, and is said to be a student of Orucello when he was a lecturer at the Central Arcane Academy in Nadia.

Of course, none of the above is important, the key thing is that Rassell is now the Federal Minister of War, the highest commander of the 300,000 standing army of the Natya Federation.

"Wow, count it out, this guy's teacher is at least a deputy prime minister and defense minister, so isn't this guy a complete second-generation official?" When Lu Xi was thinking like this in his heart, he didn't think that he was more or less a member of the "second generation of officials".

"My name is Lu Xi, please take care of me when we meet for the first time."

"Lucy? That's the right name for you. ”

Some time ago, someone said that this name was not for me, but that guy's head was blown off in half by me, which is really not a good example. Lu Xi secretly rolled his eyes and ignored it.

"It is said that you wiped out the remnants of the Black Fist Brotherhood without much effort? He is truly a disciple of Master Orucello! ”

Lu Xi couldn't help but think of his experience of exterminating those winged bandits, although the result was brilliant, but the process was really not worth mentioning. …,

"Hehe~~" Lu Xiqiang smiled, "It's just a group of down-and-out thieves, it's really nothing." ”

"But a lot of formal magicians can't do that." Alantis shook his head and sighed, "Although this proves that the current magicians are becoming more and more unworthy of their name, it also shows your ability. With this merit, when you pass the official exam, I don't know how many government and military departments are rushing to ask for you. ”

"Formal exams?"

Only then did Alandis explain to Lu Xi that after graduating from the Academy of Magic, all magic apprentices will accept a formal exam mission, some are to destroy wanted magical beasts, some are to serve in the army for a few months, and some are to escort treasures or dignitaries, etc. Of course, non-school students can also take this test, but they need to be a registered magician with the federal government and the Scholarly Union, and have an official letter of recommendation. Once the exam is completed, the Magic Apprentice will automatically be promoted to Magician and officially become a member of the Learned Alliance. As for the losers, they can only go home to review and wait for the exam next year.

"Brother Ke's profession has long been a magician...... Well, maybe there is no such thing as a magic apprentice in the eyes of the system. Could it be because all magic apprentices are pseudo-mothers? ”

According to federal regulations, the League's current magicians are equivalent to having an iron job bowl of the Federation, not only with an annual stipend, but also with a position assigned to you.

Of course, if it is an excellent talent, there will naturally be a lot of important people, and the key departments of the rich and flowing oil are rushing to ask for it, and if the table is mediocre, they will have to go to the Qingshui Yamen to eat and wait for death.

"It seems that after the promotion, the job choice is also very important." Lu Xi thought, he looked at Alantis and asked, "It may be a bit rude to ask such a question, but I sincerely hope that you will give me some advice." Excuse me, what kind of work are you doing now? ”

"Actually, it's nothing." Arantis replied with a smile, "It's the teacher's chief lieutenant." Although I am a little suspicious of nepotism, as long as I can help the teacher, I am satisfied. ”

Well, the typical cronyism! Federal government, don't you really matter?

"So, Master Rassell should have something important to tell the teacher. Otherwise, why would he let his disciples make a trip in person? The adjutant of the Minister of War must be very busy, right? ”

"Actually, it's nothing. But the matter is a bit urgent," said Arrantis with a modest smile, "in two months, the Federal Assembly will begin, and all important bills will be discussed at that time, and the teacher hopes that Master Orucello will be on time." ”

"Oh? It's not that important. ”

"Of course not," Arantis was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "However, Master Aurucello hasn't been in parliament once since ten years ago, which is the longest absence from parliament since the founding of the Federation. No matter how much he hates politics, as a lifetime honorary member of the Federation, he has to behave, otherwise wouldn't he make the whole country's parliamentarians look like fools? No, this year, even the teacher couldn't stand it, so he sent me over. ”

Lu Xi recalled his teacher's face, and couldn't help but pat Arantis's shoulder sympathetically, "I think you have to run for nothing this time." You know, once a scientist is a creature that enters the state of research, and the house is the manifestation of the goddess Nadia, he will not ask. And the boss of our family is more or less in this state now......"

"Huh?" Arantis's handsome face couldn't help but show a bitter expression, "The teacher said that if I don't bring Master Orucello back, I won't have to go back." ”

"Oh, that's pathetic, you must have done something to offend your teacher lately, right?" …,

"Yes, maybe." Alantis really frowned and thought about it, and after a while, he suddenly said, "But I will definitely complete the task given to me by the teacher, and it's a big deal that I'll spend it here with Master Orucello, and I'll talk about it until he changes his mind." ”

Suddenly, Lu Xi had to be in awe of this persevering "second generation official".

"Master Russell must be a great man." Otherwise, how could he teach you such a two-pole apprentice?

"Hehe," Arantis still had that big smile on his face, "he just taught me that a man cannot stand without faith." No matter how difficult things are, as long as you set a goal, you must do it against all odds. Otherwise, they are untrustworthy. ”

"That's it, as for rising to this height?"

The teacher also said: Now, the biggest problem of the federation is that the officials have no faith in the people, and the people are naturally unrighteous to the country. In this case, as one of the supreme rulers of the Federation, we must start with ourselves, otherwise how can we change the country? ”

It sounded like this Master Russell was still an enterprising reformer, and Lu Xi couldn't help but feel more sympathy for the military minister of the Federation.

As expected, the first thing that Arrantis and Orucello got when they met was that.

"You tell SΓΉ Rassell that my research is now at its most critical juncture. I didn't go to the meeting. ”

"What a cow!" Lu Xi couldn't help but think. I have grown so big, and I have never heard of a people's congress deputy or CPPCC member saying to the vice president of the state and chairman of the Central Military Commission: Lao Tzu will not go to this year's two sessions. ”

"But Master, several important bills are going to be passed at this meeting. Without your support, the teacher would be isolated in the council. Alantis said eagerly.

"There's no way to do that, I'm just a researcher, not a politician, and I don't understand politics," Oluseiro shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression, "Besides, even if you add me, Rassell won't have any advantage." ”

"You also receive a hundred golden milas a year from Parliament. Why isn't it a political family? Lu Xi, who was sitting on the side, still couldn't stop talking.

"I'm an honorary councillor for life, remember, it's honorary for life, when have you ever seen any honorary professors, honorary mayors, honorary advisors, etc., really taught students, managed government affairs, and consulted?" Orucello tilted his head, his head held high.

For such a cheeky old man, Lu Xi was really speechless, so he had to tear tears of sympathy to Alandis.

"But, Master, aren't these reform bills the result of your discussions with Master Rassel? Doesn't this entrust your own political philosophy and enthusiasm for the country? This meeting is the perfect time to get these bills passed. If you miss ......"

"Young man, you are so naΓ―ve." Olucello waved his hand, his tone was very heavy, "Politics is not a bloody game. Not to mention how these bills will be harassed in Parliament, if we take 10,000 steps back, even if they are passed, how can we guarantee that they will be implemented at the local level? How many people will attack your teachers? His title of Grand Magister can only deter foreign enemies and monsters, but not those moths who are hungry for profit in the Game of Thrones. ”

Even so, the teacher decided to have a good fight with those guys. His temper, master, don't you know best? ”

"Yes," Orucello sighed slightly, revealing a look of nostalgia, "That guy has been a second-pole since he was a child, and that's why I fell in love with him like that." ”

That's right, that's right, only a two-pole master can teach a two-pole apprentice! Lu Xi couldn't help but add in his heart. …,

"Go back and tell your teacher that what I am doing now is the same as what he did in the court. We are all changing this country and the world in our own way. Please understand! ”

"Master!"

"Okay, okay," Lu Xi hurriedly said, "Teacher, it's really not good, your old man will run for a big deal." Anyway, it won't take much time, and without this two or three months, your research will be in vain. In addition, no one is sure what the results of scientific research will be useful, but the changes that the government decree will have on society will always have an immediate effect. ”

Orucello picked up his cane and knocked it on Lu Xi's head: "Stinky boy, who are you, rebel against you!" I think you kid just want to play. ”

"Isn't there anything I see your old man living in the real room every day, and persuade you to go out for a walk? You see, it's easy to break your body when you're an otaku, and you're so old......"

"Stinky boy," Orucello slammed his staff again, "and I'll cast a gag spell on you if I say more." ”

Don't have such power to oppress people. Lu Xi covered the bag on his head, and squatted in the corner to draw circles with tears in his eyes.

Orucello pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since you want to go so much, then run for me." ”

"Huh?" Lu Xi raised his head.

Ignoring him, Orucello said to Alantilis, "I will write a letter to Lassell, and I will beg you to give it to him, and tell him to think twice. In addition, I have to trouble you to take care of my little assistant. ”

"This is what should be done below, then, Master, you ......"

"I'm old, I really don't want to wade into this troubled water," Orucello refused without saying a word, and then said to Lu Xi, word by word: "When you get there, you give me a good look with your big, godless eyes: see what the current Federation has become!" ”

"Is this homework?" Lu Xi looked at Orucello's solemn expression and asked involuntarily.

"Yes, that's homework!" Orucello replied solemnly.
