Located in the Eastern Cross district of the city of Elichar, Chardoll Avenue is just a half-hour walk from Place Paradiso in the heart of the city. It stands to reason that the housing price in such a prime location is not affordable by the allowance of Lu Xi, a second-generation rural nobleman and a new magician.

Of course, as the residence of the future "godfather of the sex industry", this house is actually a little shabby. On this day, Lu Xi's three servants had already arrived here with their luggage.

The Avenue de Chateaur, which belongs to the residential area of the East End, is not a busy main thoroughfare, but it is large enough for six or seven four-wheeled carriages to travel side by side. On both sides of the road are luxurious townhouse buildings, and the people who come in and out look well-dressed and dignified.

In addition to Primla, who still maintains an expressionless and unwavering mental outlook, the two unlucky children from the countryside, looking at the neat streets, the richly decorated houses, and the gentlemen and ladies who come and go, have lost their momentum.

"Number 118, this is it." Primra said, pointing to a small building.

It was a two-storey villa with a beautiful garden of more than ten square meters. The shape of the whole house is very traditional Nadia style with a flat roof, but the exterior is painted very unconventional sky blue. On the other hand, the upper end of the lintel is also decorated with a lifelike butterfly coat of arms, showing a bit of elegance and gorgeousness. At the lower end of the coat of arms is a metal seal engraved with the words "Butterfly Garden".

"How did the young master buy such a small building?" Looking at the exquisite villa, Grant couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Miss Lim, you know what?" ”

Although Grant is a country kid who has never seen the world, he is a good boy who loves to learn after all. The housing prices in the capital are the object of complaints from major media every day, and he has naturally heard about it. The price of such an elegant and comfortable villa must also be an astronomical amount for a hard-pressed young man like himself who feels that he will be pulled into a terrifying dimension.

Even a country kid like Grant knows that it is not scientific to want to buy this kind of house with Lu Xi's little magician's allowance!

"Strange Stuff ......"

"Huh?"

"It seems to be a partnership with someone else to sell a lot of strange things to make money."

It was probably the longest Primra had ever said in her life, but Grant still didn't get it.

In Grant's tangle, the carriage stops in front of the Butterfly Garden Gate. An old man in a black deacon's suit opened the door and walked out of the room.

"Is it Lord Lucy Berencaster? I am the caretaker and deacon of this house, Delaver. The old deacon introduced himself with a very elegant posture and a calm and relatable tone.

"Lord Lu Xi hasn't arrived yet. We are his servants. Seeing that Primra didn't respond without saying a word, Grant quickly took over the topic.

"Oh," the old deacon nodded with a glance at Primla, "you must be Miss Primla." This is the key to the butterfly garden, please keep it. ”

Without saying a word, the girl put away the key.

Bull and Grant quickly unloaded the luggage from the carriage, and under the command of the old deacon, carried the luggage into the house, and began to clean and tidy up the room again, and everyone was immediately busy.

In this way, it slowly reached dusk, and just when the house was about to be tidied up, Lu Xi, who had returned from the Field Service Department, also appeared outside the butterfly garden.

"You must be Lord Lucy Berencaster. I am Deacon, Delaver of Butterfly Garden, and it is an honor to serve you. ”

"Oh, that's you? Carol's kid is really generous, and he actually transferred a talent like you to me, which is really an unexpected surprise! Lu Xi held the old deacon's hand, and the overjoyed component in his tone didn't sound like polite words. …,

Mr. Delaver, who is an excellent housekeeper, had just signed a ten-year contract with Carroll last year, and when Carroll sold the house at a low price, he also attached a contract with Mr. Delaveau, the caretaker and deacon of the property. In this way, if nothing else, Mr. Old Deacon will probably have to serve Lu Xi for at least nine years.

Originally, Lu Xi thought that this old Mr. Delave must be a lazy and lazy guy who relied on the old and sold the old, so he was driven away by Carol by all means. But now when I look at it, I am immediately impressed by the other party's elegance and calm bearing. Even if it is the head of the court of the royal families in the continent, it is probably nothing more than that.

"Good evening, Lu Xi. Long time no see. "After everyone had dinner, the former owner of the butterfly garden also appeared. Carol wore a navy blue officer's uniform with a red plum blossom epaulette on her shoulder, representing the rank of lieutenant. His servant and girlfriend, Drow Elvein Elovier, wore a blue female officer's uniform with the rank of second lieutenant and a standard officer's sword at her waist.

"Let's all come in and sit down."

Sitting in the freshly tidied living room, Delavo brought black tea and small biscuits in a timely manner, which made Lu Xi sigh again for the other party's generosity and decency.

"Looks pretty good. I thought it would be nice to be in the army for a few days with your unruly nature. It seems that the small days are still good. ”

"I'm a dignified Lord Carol, either I don't do it, or I have to do my best. Since it has been decided to mix in the army, even if it is a military school with a short-term class, it is better than those so-called military talents. The only thing that was unpleasant was the tuition, because I didn't have a letter of recommendation from the army, so I had to pay out of my own pocket, and Weile and I spent a lot of money on me. ”

"There's no point in you crying poor with me, and I'm not the manager of the military school. You can completely treat this as a business investment, and it is easier for people who come out of the military academy to be promoted, and when the time comes, you can become a supervisor in the logistics department, and you can justifiably embezzle public funds. A business with such a high return on investment, even if your father and brother have been working hard in the mall for so long, I guess they haven't seen it, right? ”

"Well, that's what you're talking about......"

"yes, yes?"

"Ahahahaha, oops......" This pair of good friends with no lower limit on discipline let out a vicious laugh together, and at the same time made a painful sound. Behind them, Primla, the mouthless maiden, and Irovil, the drow maiden, put away their knives at the same time.

"It's your dividend." Saying this, Carol took out a notebook from his bosom again, "The account I opened in the Bank of Saint-Muller in your name has already deposited 10,000 golden miras in it. Just hold your ID and mage badge and you can redeem huàn cash at any bank. ”

"Oh, then I'm disrespectful." Lu Xi took the deposit receipt.

Carol's family business naturally couldn't hide Lu Xi's interest and majestic suit from Lu Xi, and he didn't object. As for how to persuade those conservative medievals to accept this kind of boudoir intimacy, Carol's father and brother were excellent businessmen anyway, so they naturally had their own way. With his own technology patents in shares, the knife does not have to work hard to operate, just sit and wait for dividends.

"By the way, you wrote to say: are you going to take up a post in the government department of the capital? How, what exactly is the position? ”

"Hmm...... It's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs? That's good, eat and drink at public expense and travel, uh...... Aren't you going to be a colleague with that honor puppet girl? ”

"That's what it means."

"Oh, that's fine, you two have a good idea. So, what about the department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? ”…,

"Assistant Counsellor Military Attaché of the Embassy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Auckland."

"Oh, being sent out so soon? But that's fine, Auckland is the most powerful empire on the mainland, and it is also the most important diplomatic country of the Federation, and it is generally not a big deal to stay there, and it is quite easy to cheat merit and promotion. However, the position of counselor military attache should be high, right? Wait, since you're a military attaché, you've joined the army too? ”

"It's just a little talented, I just got the rank of captain," Lu Xi shrugged, "Lieutenant, salute the commander and take a look!" ”

"No kidding. It's not funny at all, really. Carol laughed dryly a few times, only to find that the other party did not react, "It can't be true, right?" Even the top few graduates of the Dugubao Military Academy are only one captain, you and you...... This is not scientific! ”

"So, the wisdom of mortals......" Lu Xi pushed the glasses that were still not there, "I have seen several twenty-year-old marshals, is the eighteen-year-old captain so rare?" ”

After Carol muttered an "unscientific" farewell, Lu Xi sighed heavily. He pulled out an envelope from his bosom, and the sealing clay pressed a small dagger crest.

In fact, you don't need to read it, Lu Xi also knows what is written in this letter. Just now in the Field Service Department, Makanov had already told him in detail.

The senior military attache of the federal embassy in Auckland has been found to be suspected of betraying classified information. Lu Xi, as the new secret imperial historian, also got his first assignment, he will go to Auckland in the name of a foreign affairs official, and if the suspicion of the senior military attache is found to be true, he can be immediately executed.

This can explain why his invitation letter is signed by the Privy Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This task is clearly the result of the joint actions of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

To be honest, Lu Xi has no good feelings about this inexplicable new job: the dark and deep base, the sneaky boss, and these anti-system orders and positions. Listening to Makanov's introduction, Lu Xi knew that this so-called field service department had long gone beyond the control of the law and the state system, and was completely in the hands of the highest power of the state. You can kill people without trial and conclusion, what is the difference between this and the factory guards who have plagued the world for 200 years in the Ming Dynasty?

Fortunately, the launch of this "Jinyiwei" system is not a dictator, but a multi-person coalition governing council. And now, the members of the committee actually don't like each other, and there is finally a check and balance on power. However, because the hostile relations between the powerful are probably no more powerful than the sandy castles on the beach, if one side fails completely, this field office may become the most terrifying weapon of dictators and careerists.

Thinking of this, Lu Xi suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the Field Service Department. Alantilis's close relationship with Makanov, and Makanov's admiration and admiration for Master Rassell in his words......

Hehe, I guess I'm thinking too much.

Lu Xi smiled a little reluctantly. He looked up and saw Primla's worried eyes.

I don't think I'm looking good right now. Lu Xi thought so, but tried his best to calm his mood.

"What's wrong? Lim? ”

"Sesileu is here."

Did they discuss it? As soon as Carol left, Sesileu arrived. It's like the front foot touching the back foot.

"Yo, Sesilus, long time no see." Lu Xi sat on the sofa and greeted the girl who walked into the living room, and then ordered, "Mr. Delavo, please go and get us some refreshments." ”

After the old deacon left, Sesilio sat down in front of Lu Xi. She was obviously not in a good mood, and her face was covered in a layer of frost. However, such an intellectual beauty showing an angry expression actually has a different kind of beauty. …,

"You sue me, what's the matter with this order!?" Seyleus took out a piece of coated paper from his bosom and slapped it heavily on the crystal coffee table in front of him.

"Miss Sehiliu Moore:

In view of the Minister's excellent performance in the Secretariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you will be officially assigned to the Embassy in Auckland as Principal Secretary to the Counsellor and Military Attaché, Lucy Berencaster, and hopefully continue to excel in your new role.

Department of Personnel, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Central Government of the Federal Government of Nadia

July 4, 532 in the federal calendar"

TNN, what the hell are those guys trying to do?

Lu Xi secretly scolded his current bosses, he looked at Sesilyu who was waiting for an answer, thought for a while, and replied, "Well, even if you want to ask me what's going on...... However, I can only answer you: this is the literal meaning. ”

"Hmm...... I was very happy to be transferred to a foreign country to take on a full-fledged foreign affairs job. However, why did you suddenly become your subordinate, obviously my work experience should be older than yours. Also, what's going on with this counselor military attaché? I don't know of anyone who has just joined the company and can hold such a high position. ”

"Haven't you heard about it now?"

"Less boring jokes like that!" Sesilyu glared at Lu Xi fiercely, "You tell me honestly, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Well, calm down, my little mi...... Well, don't take your staff out, I'm not going to call you that. You see, that seaweed head just got the magician qualification certificate, and his father got him to the Ministry of Engineering to be the director of the transportation bureau, that's the director! In comparison, I am just a captain and an assistant counselor military attaché, and I am not a fat shortage. What's so incomprehensible about this? ”

"Lu, Xi Bei, Lun, Ka, Si, Te!"

"Okay, okay, so I said calm down. Well, even though we are comrades-in-arms who share weal and pain, it stands to reason that there shouldn't be anything to hide from you. However, I really can't say anything about this question. Lu Xi looked directly into Sesilu's eyes and said solemnly, "At least we can't say it until we take office." ”

Maybe it was because Lu Xi's appearance of sitting upright was too deceptive, Sesilyu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but slowly regain his composure. She pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is it a matter of being strict?" ”

"Well, it is strict to the point that once the secret is leaked, the water meter will definitely be checked."

"It's again......" Sehireu's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, but he didn't think too much: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you want to talk about it...... Well, but there is one thing I want you to remember: when you enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I hope that you must work well, and as your assistant, I will always supervise you. Be conscious! ”
