Chapter 35 Military Training
The exam results came out, and the situation was exactly as Lu Xi expected: just 10th place. The ranking is good, and it is not as conspicuous as the top few, and it will not have a negative impact on my future career choice.
Lu Xi knew that in the magician qualification exam, the actual combat test was much more important than the written test, so there was no need for him to stay in that oppressive examination room for an extra hour or two for the sake of a so-called "first place in the written exam".
The first place was the name of "Sehireu Moore", which made Lu Xi quickly recall the girl he met in the examination room.
Although I knew that she must be an honor student, I didn't expect to be so good.
Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and squeezed out of the crowd watching the list, waiting for the actual test to start in a few days.
Three days later, the messenger from the Palazzo Offa arrived at the hotel where Lu Xi was staying.
"I ask Lord Berencaster to report to the Personnel Department of the Ministry of War at 6 Byron Shipp Street before ten o'clock in the morning on August 5. Here are your transcripts and appointments, please keep them. In addition, each person can only bring one attendant, please be careful. ”
Lu Xi put away the two copies of the text, and after sending the messenger away, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Go to the military department to assemble, and it's also the personnel bureau. Could it be that if you win the jackpot, you will be followed by the most troublesome and most problematic "one month of service in the army" in the legendary trial mission?
Well, should I ask Master Russell to help me and ask him to send me to a richer place to spend some time, and then come back after a circle......
Even if I think so, I really can't pull down to embarrass others to open this kind of back door for me. So, after struggling for half a minute, Lu Xi finally decided: the soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth.
In the early morning of August 5th, Lu Xi carefully checked his outfit and magic weapons again, and then walked towards Byron Heath Avenue with Primla.
The so-called Personnel Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs is composed of a long courtyard wall, a huge courtyard square and a building several tens of meters high. It looks much more imposing than the official residence of the Minister of War that Lu Xi went to last time, if it weren't for the federal military emblem composed of two dragons and six-pointed stars hanging in front of the door, it would be hard to imagine that this is just a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
After asking the staff inside for directions, Lu Xi finally found his destination in this labyrinthine huge building - a staircase conference room that can accommodate more than 200 people. It was close to ten o'clock at this time.
The room was already full, and Lu Xi looked around for a week, and finally found two seats at the back of the classroom.
Sitting on Lu Xi's right was a girl with long hair, her head down, her face could not be seen clearly, she was looking intently at a book at this time, and she was still taking notes seriously.
What a hard girl. Lu Xi was suddenly a little awe-inspired, so he decided to say hello to her.
"Hello...... Yes? ”
"Is that you?" The girl raised her head and looked at Lu Xi with a surprised expression.
This girl is the girl I met in the examination room, and she is also the first place in this written test - Sesileu Moore.
Sai Xiliu looked at Lu Xi's friendly smile, hesitated for a moment, and finally returned a salute to him, but there was obvious detachment in his tone and expression.
"Hello ......"
This obviously cold tone made Lu Xi a little excited, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then felt that someone had knocked him heavily on the head again.
"It hurts, Lim, what are you doing?" He turned his head and watched inexplicably as Primra put away his knife.
"......" is expressionless and does not squint.
"Forget it, I knew you were going to do it." Lu Xi pursed his lips, and finally focused on the front of the conference room.
At this time, two men had already walked in. The two men, one older and one younger, both wore military uniforms, but the older one wore a robe over the uniform. …,
Isn't he hot in this big summer?
The older officer frowned as he looked at the meeting room, which was as lively as a vegetable market.
"Silence!" He opened his mouth and snapped into a snort.
The classroom fell silent for a moment.
Lu Xi covered his ears, closed his eyes, and recited the incantation silently, and finally expelled the trills in his head.
"Is this old man mistaken, he still needs to use coercion to speak. Hungry for dissatisfaction?! ”
The only one in the entire classroom who wasn't affected was Primla. She neither wailed like those who were completely tricked, nor did she hurry to exorcise the curse like Lu Xi, still expressionless and sitting upright.
"I should say: what a Lim! Or is it because he lamented that he might as well run to the corner of the wall to draw circles in depression because he was not even a girl? ”
The mage looked around the room, his gaze pausing for a moment as he made contact with Primla, but he was generally satisfied with the results he had made.
Then, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "I don't care what kind of elite students you are in school, and I don't care which master's proud disciples you are; However, if it is on the battlefield, just now, you are all dead! “
Nonsense, it's not on the battlefield, who knew you would suddenly give us a strengthened version of the coercion technique?
"If you are a soldier, you are all unqualified defects. If it's usual, I don't care what kind of birth you are, what kind of education you have, no matter who you are, you have to pull you to the new barracks to give me a year and a half of training! ”
In other words, the boot camp won't accept a group of magicians. Do you have common sense?
"Now, Lao Tzu must make it clear to you! You are not welcome in the barracks! I also look down on your pampered bear Baojin! If you want to be looked up to, give Lao Tzu a few bird looks. ”
Uh, there's a girl here, right? How do you look like a bird? By the way, are you really a magician?
The silence lasted for a few minutes, most of the people were dumbfounded, and a few girls who couldn't stand the stimulation sobbed quietly. However, Sai Xiliu, who was sitting next to Lu Xi, straightened his back, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire. As for Lim, uh, Lu Xi is now looking forward to seeing the expression on her face other than expressionlessness.
The Violent Mage didn't seem satisfied, he raised his head, almost with his nostrils in contempt, as if he were looking at a stray dog in a roadside alley.
"Within three months from now, you will be part of the infinitely glorious Natya Federation Army!"
Trimester? Isn't it a month?
There are no longer a few people who have the same doubts as Lu Xi, and many people have begun to talk to each other again, muttering.
"Silence!" The Violent Mage let out such a snort again.
Many people subconsciously covered their ears, and those who were vigilant quickly concentrated their mental strength to resist the spirit. In this regard, Lu Xi just raised his head and looked at the ceiling and kept rolling his eyes.
Lao Tzu won't be fooled for the second time. Father? Oops, unconsciously affected.
Sure enough, this time the ferocious mage didn't use spirit magic, at most it was just a little louder.
"According to Federal Parliamentary Decree No. 1083: Whereas, the Black Flag Wingers of the Namoa Mountains have recently become more and more active. The Federal Government has decided that a definitive settlement of the Namoa problem by force will not be ruled out no later than the following year. Therefore, in order to prepare for large-scale military operations in the future, starting this year, all the actual tests of the mage qualification test will be changed to three months of regular military training and missions! If there is a withdrawal, it will be regarded as a waiver of the exam! How, anyone willing to give up can raise their hand now. ”…,
(System prompt: The host triggers the A-rank quest "Trials of the Alliance.") Quest content: The host will serve in the Guò military camp and officially become a mage in the Learned Alliance. Victory Condition: Successfully complete the Trial. Failure Condition: Unable to pass the Guò Trial. Victory Rewards: The higher the final ranking, the better the rewards you get. Failure Punishment: As the grand mage Orucello, if you can't complete even a small trial, you should be an NPC for the rest of your life. Obtain the talent "I Love Civilians", the character will automatically transform into a civilian, and the attributes, skills, spells, and martial arts will all be cleared, and there will be no chance of changing jobs in the future. )
This is the first time Lu Xi has received an A-level mission, but it makes the little otaku want to hit the table with his head. What kind of mission is this? The reward for success can't be determined, but the punishment for failure can't be more vicious, do you really want to force my brother to use real kung fu? Nadia is on top, the jingle goddess is merciful, and Goko has always wanted to keep a low profile.
Lu Xi glanced around, and naturally no one raised his hand to give up. Nonsense, it's all come to this point, seeing that the glorious future of the seat, ticket, house, and car is just around the corner, as long as you grit your teeth, you can get through, who will quit stupidly!
"Excellent! This time, there were a total of 527 candidates for the written exam. And 100 of you here, congratulations. For the next three months, you will serve in the eastern airspace of the Federation! Get to know the people next to you, and it is very likely that you will become comrades in the same room in the future......" He was silent for a moment, and smiled a little grimly, "Of course, it may also be buried in the same cave." Aha......"
Bad taste! This guy is completely hopeless.
However, although this guy is hopeless, in the next three months, Lu Xi and the others will have to absolutely obey his orders, even if it is an order to send him to death.
Lieutenant General Gary Agrol, currently the commander of the Eastern Legion of the Federation, is also a four-star mage of the Learned Alliance, and is one of the most formidable generals in the Federation Army. However, looking at his fierce achievements, he always felt less like a magician, more like a barbarian warrior in ancient Vegia.
In the year 510 of the federal calendar, he had just obtained his qualification as a magician, and decided to officially join the army and received the rank of second lieutenant. In October of the same year, while patrolling in the east, he met the Black Flag Wingmen, who were twice as strong as him. In the melee, the enemy army broke up, 48 people were captured, 32 days were annihilated, and 17 of their own casualties were killed.
In 515 A.D., Gary, who had been promoted to captain, was transferred to the south to monitor the realm of the dead on the Heras Peninsula. In June of the same year, the undead attacked the surveillance post, killing all the defenders, except for Gary. When the Federation reinforcements arrived, Gary, who had fought hard, had already run out of magic and used brute force to strangle a necromancer to death.
In 518 A.D., the Federation attacked Heras in a big way, and Gary was the vanguard and the Legion of the Undead. In a great battle, the Federation was defeated and retreated, but Gary's unit captured the flag and made great achievements, including a powerful lich in the Council of the Dead. At the same time, Gary also created a story that made the whole continent creepy. When he was struck down by a ghoul, he used his last weapon, his teeth, to bite his opponent's throat alive.
Predators who hunt and kill with their teeth and claws die under the teeth of their prey......
In 524 A.D., Gary was transferred to the post of deputy commander of the Eastern Legion, and since then has been a nightmare for bandits. He relied on a small number of troops to continuously clear the border bandits, making the rock wall in the western part of the Namoa Mountains a real no-man's land. When the Black Flag Wingers scare children, they will say "If you don't obey again, let Gary, the ghoul, take you and eat you" and so on......
That's right, since he made a sensational record of biting and killing ghouls in Heras's realm of the dead, he has gained the murderous nickname of "Ghoul King". …,
Although, for the cultists of the arcane who are the sworn enemies of the undead, this title is really not very popular......
"So, Lord Gary is a very good soldier, and if you stay with him for a few months, you will definitely benefit for life." Alantis said this to Lu Xi afterwards.
"However, I didn't think about developing in the military world. No matter how good he is, if he learns from him as a veteran ruffian, the mother of heaven will definitely cry. ”
"Hehe, if you don't want to now, you won't be sure in the future." Arantis said meaningfully.
"Can you not say half every time?"
"Think about it: you are now a disciple of Master Orucello, the heir to the name of Belencaster and the Isle of Rainbow Roses. I don't know how many people are staring at you, so your future life is destined to be uneventful. Even if you don't want to, there are only two ways left for you - politics! Or pass guò army accumulation of political zhì capital, and then still engage in politics! In comparison, I think the barracks are more simple, maybe more to your taste. ”
“…… Has anyone ever said that every time you put on such an unfathomable style, it's actually quite annoying. ”
"Ale? Isn't it? ”
"Yes or no, the order has already been given anyway, and I have no choice, do I?"
"Eun, if you go with the flow now, you will definitely add fuel to the fire in the future. Little Luxi, this is your fate, don't run away, accept him bravely! ”
"Excuse me, as long as I think that in a few decades, I may become the chairman of the oil drum committee and the chairman of the Chai He, and I already have a clear understanding of the glorious future of politics."
"You can also follow the example of your teacher."
"Isn't it pleasing to be tired half dead and half alive every day? Come on, I'm a small person, so I'll leave the work of saving the Federation and maintaining world peace to you great men. ”
"It's really not good, there's Turner's kind of ......"
"Aren't you afraid that you and my teacher will join forces to clean up the portal?"
Alantis and Lu Xi looked at each other, and after a while, they sighed at the same time, and then came to a conclusion. Politics, in fact, is really not fun......
But no matter what, life has to go on.
On the day of departure, Lucy and Primra waited at the port early. He and his 100 fellow examiners and their followers, about 1780 men, were to go east on the floating battleship Bavaros, which belonged to the Eastern Legion.
While assembling at the port, the young officer who had come with Gary pulled out a roster.
"In view of your special status, we have divided into groups of three people based on your abilities and achievements, and have gone to different stations in the eastern airspace to take up posts. Of course, the members of the same group as you are your comrades-in-arms and partners who have been with each other day and night for three months. ”
"Group 1, Fabio Cannavaro......
"Group 2, Leonar Messi......
……
……
"Group Twelfth, Lucy Berencaster!"
Hearing his name, Lu Xi hurriedly walked up with Primla.
"Same group, Carol Rodisut."
It was a young man who looked a little frivolous, and the robe he was wearing was obviously adding a lot of gorgeous lace, and he walked staggeringly, which was a bit of a non-mainstream feeling. Behind him was a silver-haired drow elf girl, dressed in soft scale armor and carrying a thin sword, which should be his servant.
Is this my partner? Lu Xi looked at this young man and was somewhat disappointed.
"One group, Sehireuk Moore!"
The name suddenly struck Lu Xi like a thunderbolt, and the young man raised his head, and the eyes of the girl who had just come out of the crowd met, and they both read the meaning from each other's gazes.
"Why are you again?"
Bad fate~~ Lu Xi raised his head and sighed.
