Chapter 166: I'm Resigning
Because of Li Gong's "dream interpretation", in the next few hours, Lu Xi had to focus on how to make the arrogant Sai Xiliu regain his mood. The red eyes and heart-wrenching smile in the dream were naturally put on the back of the mind, and it was too late to pay attention to who was on the two sides that were fighting.
Of course, subconsciously, Lu Xi felt that he should ignore something very important, which was definitely much more important than red eyes and miserable laughter. However, it took him a long time to rack his brain, and the rest of his sleep was still chaotic, and he couldn't catch the slightest sign at all.
Hawkers, forget it, I don't want to think about it if I can't think of it, anyway, I used to be like this. This time, it should be okay, right?
Probably......
So, in the midst of such a tangle, the Arras finally arrived in the federal capital of Elichar before the New Year. Originally, as the flagship of the Eastern Mobile Fleet of the Federation, the Arras should have been stationed at the border all year round, but it was just in time for the battleship to be overhauled and maintained, and it was also in time for His Excellency the Commodore to report to the upper authorities about the affairs that had happened in Black Mancheng, so it was just in time to give them a ride.
Aubert? Cass was captured unscathed, and the mission was successfully completed. So, when the battleship had just entered the federal capital, a group of men in black military police uniforms boarded the ship to pick up the prisoners, and the system also celebrated with the music of the long-lost eighth set of broadcast gymnastics, and the A-class mission "Transnational Pursuit of Traitors" was finally declared successful with the highest level of perfection.
(System: The A-Class mission "Cross-Country Hunt for the Traitor" completed with excellent perfection.) Gain 25000 XP. Attribute points 20, skill points 5, and Knowledgeable Alliance opinion +1).
Now that the task has been completed, Lu Xi's command of the mobile team will naturally be automatically lifted. However, when the port and Lu Xi were separated, everyone was still reluctant.
If memory serves, carrying a gun together is also one of the four irons, let alone fighting together.
At this time, Captain Grimmar, who has always been a one-sided and indifferent tough guy, also said in a gentle tone: "As the captain of the mobile team stationed abroad." I've worked under a lot of Shadowy Historians, and you're the youngest and the best. β
"This? Uh, Captain, I'm not your boss anymore, you don't need to pat me on the back, do you? β
"Do you think this is sycophancy?" The captain gave a rare smile, "Then you completely misunderstood me. Soldiers are human beings first and foremost, and to put it bluntly, there are two kinds of income, income to support their families, and the right to be recognized and respected by the public. Well. To put it nicely, loot and a sense of honor. β
"You led us to the task. And let us keep the city of Black Man as a guardian. The honor of the winner, you have brought us. This time, everyone who survived would not be able to run away with a Bronze Meteorite Medal, even if they died...... At least get an extra Guardian Medal. β
"But, after all, someone died. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed behind to defend the city, and if I broke through with you, maybe no one would have to die. β
"You talk like that, a bit like a young man under twenty years old." At this time, the smile of the captain, who was old enough to be Lu Xi's father, became even gentler. It's like looking at an ordinary uncle of his own sons and nephews: "As a military commander, there will inevitably be casualties among your subordinates, shouldn't you have had the corresponding consciousness a long time ago?" β
"Don't you know that there is a hegemon in a world who bullies small countries everywhere, and when he fights a war, he is pursuing zero casualties."
"Then the people in this country must be stupid." The captain said in a categorical tone, and then added, "Also, you have divided most of the spoils. In this way, everyone can actually get a good extra buck. If you were born into such a noble family of magical nobles, but you can be so selfless, in fact, everyone is very touched. β
If it weren't for the system, tell me which ones are the most valuable. I really can't be so selfless. Lu Xi sighed, always feeling that he was being praised red-faced, so he said, "Shouldn't it?" If you were a magician born in a family, you shouldn't be short of money, right? How can you still grab loot with the people below? It doesn't look so ugly, right? β
"The richer you are, the more greedy you are, and this has always been the case." The captain pouted indignantly. It seems that he is not very happy with the ruling group of the Federation. Well, it's weird, now even being a police chief has to go through three generations of ancestral investigations, and he is the commander of an important federal mobile force stationed abroad, hasn't he been censored by the government or something?
Well, that's debatable. However, it has only been four or five hundred years since the founding of the Federation, the gate valve has appeared, and the power struggle between factions has also appeared.
"Also, didn't you notice? After this game, all of us have become a lot stronger than before. Well, at my age, it's really a miracle that I can still have a breakthrough in strength. β
β¦β¦ For this kind of question, Lu Xi could only sigh very indifferently.
"All in all, it was a very enjoyable mission, and although there were many dangers during the process, it was nothing compared to the gains. Master Berencaster, if you are willing to come to the military world to develop, you will definitely become the most dazzling one soon. Hopefully, in the near future, I will have the opportunity to play under you. Captain Grimmar finally solemnly saluted Lu Xi.
Lu Xi was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly returned the salute with a not-so-standard military salute.
In any case, a young man can still satisfy his vanity when he sees a fierce and arrogant military uncle saluting him respectfully.
As the nominal military attachΓ© at the embassy in Auckland, Lu Xi should theoretically have reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but a man who is said to be from the Ministry of Military Affairs was on the pier early. He seemed to have known Lu Xi for a long time, and immediately greeted the group when they just got off the boat.
"The carriage is ready, Captain Belencaster." The public-faced staff member handed Lu Xi a warrant, and then pointed to the carriage parked not far away, with the logo of the Ministry of Military Affairs engraved on it.
It's really timely, and I have to find a way to explain it to everyone.
Lim accompanied Sehiraeus to the embassy to report on his duties, and Grant and Bull returned home. Well, as for Liszt and Sid, hey, you're not my subordinate, just do whatever you want. After leaving these words, Lu Xi didn't wait for the reaction of others, so he followed the staff member into the carriage without saying anything.
Before everyone could react, Lu Xi had already stepped into the carriage quickly, and the staff took the position of the royal hand and drove the carriage away.
"Really, that guy must have something to hide from me!" Seyleu said angrily.
"Hmm...... Anyway, I don't think the senior sister is an ordinary diplomat. Liszt's face was full of curiosity.
"The mysterious appearance of the god may be a secret police or a spy or something." Sid replied with a smirk.
"Ha, that guy who lazes all day long, how can it be." Sesileu couldn't help but be stunned, but then shook his head again.
"Torture?" Lim tilted her head to look at Sehiru.
"We can't torture him, we can't beat him anymore. If he tries to escape, we won't be able to catch him. Seyleu said helplessly.
Not to mention what direction the conversation on the dock would develop, Lu Xi in the carriage felt that his expression now must be very exciting. He waited for his eyes, staring straight at the elegant young man sitting opposite with a painful gaze, and after a long while, he finally couldn't help but sigh in a helpless and light tone, and then took out a small box from his arms and handed it to the other party: "Blood Banyan Fruit Sandwich Chocolate, a native product of Black Man City." I brought it to you, thank me. β
"Eh, I don't have a sweet tooth, didn't you already know that?" Although the young man said this, he smiled happily and took the box.
"The blood banyan fruit is candy-free, and I also chose sugar-free dark chocolate for the chocolate wrapped outside. Rest assured, it's sweet at all, and it's also a little bitter, and it's a taste that is especially suitable for men. β
"Well, that's a good fit for me, and I'm really bothering you. However, the blood banyan fruit ...... Well, maybe I'm mistaken. That thing should be the fruit of the Black Blood Banyan, right? β
"It's really worthy of Brother Alain, I don't know how many generations of former student council presidents. You remember it right! The Black Blood Banyan is said to have been transformed from the body fragments of the Queen of Plague and Decay, and the Blood Banyan Fruit is its fruit. Using them as ingredients may give you a god-killing thrill and sense of accomplishment, and the lawless mercenaries and adventurers in Blackman City like to do such unobtrusive and rebellious things. β
"Then I'm sure I'm going to have to take a good look at it." The young man put the box away with an eager expression.
"But then again, Brother Alain, are you really that idle as a secretary to a dignified military minister? Every time I come to Elichar, you will appear, and it will be a pick-up and escort, and it is really ...... Let my generation ** silk flattered! β
Naturally, it is the current Minister of War of the Federation, Arantis, the secretary of the Grand Magisher Rassell, and an elite student who was also born in the Central Academy of Magic in Nadia.
"I'm also here for work, because the teacher wants to see you as much as possible, don't we have to break our legs?"
"Master Russell, who has a lot of opportunities, actually has time to meet me? Didn't you hear that there was going to be a war? β
"It's precisely because of the war that the details of the group of undead in Black Man City are very important. You're the one who knows the situation best. β
"That's fine, I'd like to visit the master sooner, but my resignation report hasn't been written yet."
"Report of resignation?"
"That's right! What kind of Lao Shizi's secret history or brocade guard or something, Lao Tzu really doesn't want to do it! The Department of Field Service should also be under the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs, right? I'm looking for Master Rassell to resign, is there any problem? β
