When Lu Xi came out of the headquarters, the setting sun only left a thin halo in the sea of clouds in the distance.

The general's invitation to him, sincerely, Lu Xi felt a hint of joy. Such an enthusiastic attitude of the dignified commander of the Eastern Army actually satisfied the vanity of the young man.

Doesn't it mean that every boy actually has a dream of being a general in his heart? Commanding thousands of troops and horses to fight on the battlefield, killing all directions, what a majestic face, what a world unparalleled, what a ......

However, this is just a conjecture caused by male hormones, whether he can take the military as a profession, or whether he can take killing as a job, Lu Xi is really not mentally prepared for this.

Then again, if you don't become a soldier, what should you do?

Alain thinks he should go into politics. Indeed, with the connections of teachers and Russell, it is not difficult to enter the political arena. Of course, now that the political barriers of the Federation are clear, the aristocratic forces represented by Turner and the Qing faction represented by Russell are like fire and water, and it is naturally impossible to make a mess of life. He can only stand firmly behind Master Rassell and cheer for him, if he is lucky, in a few decades, he may be able to become the leader of the Qing School.

It's a pity, thinking about the old man's appearance of worrying about the country and the people every day, Lu Xi wanted to retreat. Such a responsible way of life is too heavy for an otaku who just wants to mix up a relaxed daily life and make a good girl.

For Lu Xi, the Federation is only his own country of immigrants. Whether this country and its people are dead or alive, they always feel like something from another world. If you want to take the rest of your life for their well-being, Lu Xi is really not so noble.

So, what about business? The so-called four major killers of the traverser, gunpowder glass brewing plus plagiarism of famous books. The reason why the traversers can spend a lot of money, pick up girls with pride, or simply use money to smash girls, is because in the early days of crossing, they all relied on information beyond the society where they were crazy to collect money. If you really don't understand business management, you can also copy some of Shakespeare's famous works to fool the manuscript fee.

Well, it is said that the income of Colorful Rose Island is a bit not very good, and we have to think of a way, we can't let the teacher and his old man not even have a coffin left.

However, then again, it seems a pity to be a businessman and make more money. If it's just for business and stay in Norda, why do you have to come to the Federation and work hard to be this Rausch magician. At the beginning, he also helped the elves establish a complete set of plans for commercial development of forests in Norda, and also established a group company - although this so-called "group" is a joke compared to some multinational chaebols of the Federation, the Business Alliance, and the Blue City - but he can be regarded as saving a large share of the family business, but he gave up when he said that he would give up, isn't it precisely because of the deep-rooted unruly factors of the traversers that he is making trouble?

On the other hand, becoming a magician, the theory has also become an official official of the central government, and federal law does not allow government officials to do business. Even those nobles who covered the sky with their hands, including the Minister of the Interior and Vice Chairman of the Committee, all found all kinds of vests as commercial agents. Some are relatives such as their brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and some are simply their own domestic slaves.

"I'm just a new magician, even if I want to do business, where can I find a vest?"

If you follow the practice of some traversers, you should be an adventurer. The world is full of princesses waiting to be born or kidnapped, treasures guarded by dragons, and demon kings who stupidly stay in the depths of the labyrinth, waiting to be defeated by the brave. traveled around the mainland, left a few heroic legends that were praised by thousands of people, and by the way, hugged a few beauties back to .........,

Well, it's a very traditional record of the life of a time-traveler. However, the traverser who makes such a choice should have a little bit of a traveler in his personality. But in general, as a believer in the second dimension of the otaku, Lu Xi is a person with obvious otaku attributes, since he came to the Federation, except for the last registration and this exam, his days have basically stayed on the island. It's too hard for a little otaku to be an adventurer who sleeps in the open.

So, until Lu Xi returned to the hospital in a huff, he still couldn't imagine what he wanted to do.

Forget it, let it be. couldn't think of it, so Lu Xi decided not to.

Be at ease with what you encounter, this is probably also the necessary temperament of a successful traverser.

Walking to Carol's hospital room, Lu Xi greeted Primra from Sesilu, who was sitting at the door.

"Yo, how's that guy?"

"The doctor said: Today's treatment is over. If he does this again tomorrow, the dead qi and toxins in his body will be completely removed. Then the second stage of treatment can be carried out. ”

"Oh, it looks like the treatment was a success. Will I be able to see him? ”

"It's better not to. The doctor said: Whether it is detoxification or healing, the most important thing is the body of the person. Now, Carol needs to rest, and I'd better not bother him. ”

"Eh, he's still resting? What about our Shanzhen hot pot? Didn't you say that Lim had already booked us a place? ”

Primra nodded expressionlessly.

“…… I'm curious how you communicate with the people at the restaurant, but forget it. Sesilus, wake that guy up. Wasn't he the one who cried and wanted to eat hot pot when he first came? ”

Sesileu shook his head: "The doctor said that it was best for him not to eat foods that were too strong, or not easy to digest right now. They have prepared nutritious nights and liquid food for him. ”

"That is, he can't eat? Hey, poor Carol," Lu Xi let out a handful of sympathetic tears, and then said, "Then leave him alone, let's go ourselves." ”

The five-star food rated by the most authoritative food magazine in the Federation, "Nadia Cuisine", is indeed worthy of its name. The soup made from the bones of giant beasts in the Namoa Mountains is fragrant and mellow, the variety of wild mushrooms is so delicious that it is reminiscent of the lush forests in the mountains, and the stew of mountain vegetables and animal meat almost makes Lu Xi almost digest his tongue.

It can be said that this is the most delicious meal since Lu Xi's crossing.

The final bill is slightly expensive, but it's not an astronomical amount that you can't afford either. Of course, this also has something to do with the restaurant's location in a remote military fortress, and if this quality food were moved to Elichar, the price would surely make the average working-class person appreciate the depth and mystery of the macrocosm.

After eating, the three of them sent some fruit to the ward and went back to the hotel to rest.

Drow Maiden Elovier arrived at Daroshur on the third day. She was in good spirits, and she couldn't see the sick look she had before as if she could die at any time, which really made people have to sigh about the vitality of the elf again.

Vile soon took over Carol's rescue work, and that kind of meticulous thoughtfulness was more like a lover than a servant...... Oh, they were lovers in the first place.

After the elf girl came, the headquarters had not assigned a task, and the three of them seemed to have nothing to do. I had to spend my time in the library and training ground every day, and this lasted for two weeks.

During this time, the Eastern Legion's military campaign against the Namoa Mountains continued, although it is said that there were no decisive results. Every day, soldiers from the front line are withdrawn and new soldiers are brought up. Lu Xi even saw the high-speed battleship Gonfala withdraw several times to rest, and then go up again the next day. …,

Lu Xi even began to suspect that the Eastern Army was clearly taking advantage of this opportunity to train its troops.

As for why the Black Flag Wingers would attack some small sentry posts on the border, although they captured a lot of prisoners, they collected a lot of nonsense and found no real clues.

During this period, Lu Xi also heard a lot of news more or less. More than thirty of the 100 candidates who came to serve in the Eastern Legion also appeared. In a life-long exam, one-third of the people who fell to the end of the exam, and the candidates who were eliminated from the written test may be luckier than these people.

Time entered November in such a noisy and lively environment. Carol was finally discharged from the hospital, and he finally didn't have to worry about what kind of prosthetic leg he should have, and the actual test for the magician qualification exam came to an end at this time.

"We didn't expect so many dead people, but when you choose to follow the path of a magician, you should be mentally prepared. I declare: your training mission in the Eastern Legion is now complete. Regardless of your grades, whether you can pass the exam or not, I hope that this experience will be a valuable asset in your life. Gary Agroll stood in the harbor and gave the following lecture to the students.

Afterwards, the students boarded the floating boat sent by the school palace to pick them up and embarked on the journey back to the capital city of Elichar.

Lu Xi lay on the side of the ship, watching the Daroshur Fortress get smaller and smaller in his line of sight, and finally turned into an invisible black dot in the sky, his heart was full of complicated feelings.

In just three months, a lot has happened. For a little otaku with a very monotonous life experience, this period of time is so rich that he has to digest it well.

"What, it's still a little reluctant?" A cynical voice rang in his ears.

That's Carol. His arm had healed, but to be on the safe side, he still had a bandage on his arm and ointment in it.

"How do your hands feel now?"

"It's a little inflexible. Probably because the bones and muscles are newly grown. Carol looked at his arm, "The doctor said: The bandage can be removed when you get to the capital, and at that time, even if the arm is truly healed, it is absolutely no different from before." ”

"Oh, that's good."

"By the way, I heard that His Excellency the General personally invited you to join the Eastern Legion?"

"You've heard about that, too?"

"It's not just me, it's all over the place. You haven't noticed that these days, other people look at you a little weirdly. ”

"Really? Well, the stranger's gaze, I didn't pay attention. ”

"Oh, yes, you haven't been to school, and the other candidates are really strangers."

“……”

"By the way, what do you think of the general's invitation?"

"It was so sudden. I had never thought of the military as a profession before, and maybe, I would have refused. ”

"Wouldn't that be a pity?"

"Pity? Why? ”

Carol was silent for a moment before she said, "You know what? I've never served anyone, but in the past three months, I've really convinced you. I think: you're a guy who was born to fight. ”

Lu Xi just wanted to refute a few words, but was interrupted by Carol: "Don't tell me any clichés like coincidences or everyone's strength." All I know is that if it weren't for you, we'd all be doomed by the time we met that Crypt Lord. Although everyone survived the battle along the way, it was you who led everyone. You can't deny that! I thought: the general invited you, and it is for this reason! ”…,

"That being said. But why do I have to force myself to make a career out of something I don't like? ”

"And what do you like?"

"I don't know. So, before I find it again, I should go home and have a few days of easy life. ”

"Well, that's really like your style."

"Hey, don't talk like you know me well. Two big men are disgusting like this, do you know? ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, anyway, with your goblin-like face, few people will think of you as a man."

"Oops? I think I'm hearing something like 'forbidden'. Does anyone want to meet the goddess so soon? ”

"Aha, aha, oh, a man doesn't rely on appearance, but on the heart of a pure man."

"Wouldn't it be nice to know each other like this earlier?" Lu Xi withdrew his murderous staff and asked again, "By the way, you are so eager to persuade me to join the Eastern Legion...... How? What benefits did the general give you? ”

"Not really. It's just that I've decided. After getting the qualification of a magician, you will go to participate in a short-term class of a military school, and then you will officially apply to serve in the Eastern Legion! ”

“…… That's a surprise. You've always been one of the most out-of-the-box, and I really didn't expect to choose a place with such strict discipline. ”

"There's no way around it. Although I have obtained the qualification of a magician, if I want to enter the officialdom, I really can't stand the atmosphere of stepping on others to climb up. As for going to school to do research, well, do you think I'm possible? ”

"Then you can also go into business?"

"The alliance doesn't allow magicians to engage in business, well, besides, I ran out of my house because I didn't like business."

"Well, then you can also take Vile to travel around the continent and become a traveling mage. It's actually quite interesting. ”

"Do you think that little allowance for a new mage will allow us to travel the world? When the time comes, I don't want to ask my family for money, so what am I working so hard for? ”

"In this way, it seems that you really have the only way to join the army."

"Besides, wasn't Vile's mother's sword taken away by the Crypt Lord? She is my woman, and I am naturally obliged to take back her mother's relics, otherwise I will be a man in vain. ”

"Hey, yes, I didn't make you a friend for nothing. It's a gentleman. ”

"Of course!" Carol looked up proudly, "So, I hope you can join the Legion as well." Our partner has even taken care of the Crypt Lord and the Lich, and in a few years, we may be able to take out the Demon God. ”

"Well, every hot-blooded protagonist of the shonen manga says something similar before embarking on the journey. But the reality is that the guys who learn these protagonists basically die in some unknown corner, becoming nutrients for weeds. ”

“…… Hey, I've said so much, don't you feel your heart at all? ”

"I'm really moved by your words, what else am I messing with the world?"

The conversation between the two men ended up inconclusively either. After returning to the capital, the examination hall of the Palazzo d'Orfa has been converted into an auditorium. The surviving candidates all participated in the ceremony.

As the president of the student union of the Central Academy of Magic, Seyleu won the first place in the written test, and the result A in the actual test, became the candidate's representative on the rostrum.

Lu Xi's actual test is also A-level, but after all, he is not a "descendant" who graduated from the Academy of Magic, so naturally he does not have this opportunity to show his face in front of the leaders of the Federation. Of course, he would also like to give this opportunity to others.

The ceremony ended with a lengthy and uninspired report by the leaders, and Seyleu approached Lu Xi after the meeting.

"I heard Carol say, are you going back to the country?"

"Well, yes, everything that needs to be done is done anyway. By the way, how are you? ”

"I just spoke to a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He had promised me to go there to work, but of course, I had to start with chores. ”

"Congratulations. One step closer to the dream. ”

"You should find your goal quickly, or I will soon surpass you."

With that, Sesilio departed without looking back.

Lu Xi looked at the girl's back, and finally could only turn around and make a helpless expression to Primra behind him.
