Chapter 42: This Is the Battlefield
Elovier's undisguised anger and hatred made everyone feel a little frightened, and seeing that the topic gradually entered a heavy atmosphere again, Lu Xigan laughed twice and quickly changed the topic.
"In any case, we have made some contributions, and with this and that medal, there should be no problem in passing the exam. Do you have any plans after you get your official qualification as a magician? ”
"Since it's your question, it's up to you to say it first, right?" Sehireu tilted his head and groaned, not answering the question directly.
"Well, me? My friends and close elders advised me to start in politics, starting as a civil servant...... However, the current federal politics is actually not very pleasant, and the research of the teacher also needs help. I haven't made up my mind yet. ”
"So indecisive? It's not like you. Sai Xiliu glanced at Lu Xi with some surprise, and did not deliberately hide the ridicule in his eyes.
"As for me...... Well, when I get my magician qualification, I plan to submit a letter of interest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and try to take up a position there. ”
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Do you want to be a diplomat? "To be a diplomat, just rely on you, a serious honor student, tsundere? Hey, what exactly are the criteria for the selection of materials by the federal foreign affairs agencies? Aren't we afraid that the imprudentness of diplomats will lead to international problems?
"Actually, when I was a child, my dream was to travel the world and become a travelogue writer. Use your own pen to record the passage of time, the ebb and flow of everything in the world, and feel the interrelationship between nature and society. Sehiru said slowly with his chin in his hand. has always been a cold and rigid expression, but at this time it was relaxed, and there was a bit of girlish fantasy cuteness and warmth, and her eyes also changed from their usual sharpness, but with a little fascination and fascination.
Sehiru's girlish expression frightened everyone so much that their jaws almost fell to the ground. I really didn't expect that Miss Sesileu Moore, the perfect honor student, would have such a pink and dreamy ideal.
"What kind of expression do you have, can't I have my own ideals?"
"No, no, it's just that I always thought: you should want to be a policeman or a judge......" Carol finally squeezed out a stiff smile on his face, naturally looking a little reluctant.
"What do you mean by that?" Sai Xiliu's face immediately boarded, and he resumed his style of being an honor student.
"Well, it's not interesting, that's what I think anyway." Carol will hold her head high, completely with the face of a child with non-mainstream problems.
“…… Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you. Sehireu pursed his lips and continued, "I'm not like you rich families, and I've done everything I can to provide for my education at home, so I have to think about reality. Diplomats are well paid and there are plenty of opportunities to go abroad, so why can't I choose that? ”
"Well, I've heard that the threshold for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also very high. It should be hard to get in, right? ”
"It's never more difficult than being the president of the student council at the Central Academy of Magic, right?"
"Well, that's right. So, I wish you success. Lu Xi raised his glass, there was no wine in it, only white water, but it should be better than nothing.
Sai Xiliu saw that Lu Xi didn't raise a glass, she was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you know? Belencaster, in the early days, I actually hated you. ”
"I can see that. Also, just call me Lu Xi. ”
"Okay, Lu Xi. Do you know why I hate you? ”
"Hehe, I'm not a gold coin, I can't expect everyone to like me, right? But if you're willing to sue me, then I do want to hear about it and see what I'm not doing well. ”…,
The girl hesitated for a moment, and when she spoke again, her tone became a little solemn and resentful: "You are all the sons of powerful people of the high-ranking lords, so it is probably difficult to understand." For us ordinary students, the only thing that can change our destiny is to exhaust our family wealth to complete our school education and then prepare for the exam. Your future, your future destiny, and your family's life are all based on the results of this exam! When I entered the school, the classmates born of the nobility and the rich looked down on us who were born of commoners, so I had to redouble my efforts; Because I understand: as long as I do well in the exam, as long as I rank higher than them, it means that I am better than them! I can gain the respect of others, and I can change the fate of myself and my family! Therefore, this exam is the most important moment in my life, and it is the fate of whether I can reverse the trajectory of my life. It's not just me, it's civilian students like me. ”
"Well, I can understand that. Congratulations, you have grasped this fateful junction! Lu Xi remembered the exam in another world, and couldn't help but have a trace of resonance, and suddenly had a little more affection for this self-improving girl, but still asked: "But, what does this have to do with you hating me?" ”
"Do you remember what you said when you took your last exam, when you were the first to hand in your paper?"
"Hmm......" Lu Xi struggled to scavenge his memories in the ravines of the cerebral cortex, but finally shook his head, "I can't remember." ”
"Can't remember?" Sai Xiliu's voice couldn't help but raise an octave, "You say: Anyway, you are not going to take the first place, just pass guò!" ”
"Oh, so that's what I said. What, what's wrong with this? ”
"You guy, do you know: just because of your words, wouldn't I be like a clown when I got the first place in the exam! And your childish attitude. What do you think of such a sacred qualification exam? Those civilian students who work hard every day to study and practice, just for the sake of this exam, what has become of their efforts! ”
Alah? That's the reason...... Uh, the Holy Grace is on the top, I am not wronged!
Lu Xi let out a long sigh, and then looked at Sai Xiliu with a resentful look of "I am more wronged than Dou E", and said, "This ...... All I can say is: everyone has their own way of dealing with life. No matter what kind of results I get in this exam, of course, the consequences will be borne by me. So, isn't it my freedom to do what I should do and what kind of attitude I should adopt? If you feel hurt for such reasons, I can only express regret, but it is impossible for me to apologize! Oops, Lim, what are you hitting me again? ”
Primra put away the knife with a blank face, and after a long time, he said slowly, "...... Sehireu is a girl. ”
"That's right, Lord Lu Xi, a personable boy can't be so careless with a girl." Eloville said with a smile as well.
"Eh, why? It's obvious that this woman is making trouble. Carol said unevenly.
"Young master, boys must be open-minded and generous, are you~~Ming~~white~~?"
"Uh, I understand, I understand." Carol switched sides in an instant, and the rebellion was swift.
"Well, you're right." Lu Xi nodded, then turned his head to Seyriliu, and said solemnly: "Miss Sesileu Moore, I am deeply sorry for the harm caused to you by my imprudent remarks and attitude, please accept my apology." ”
"What do you mean by that, giving me alms?" Sehireu said loudly, his face flushed.
"But isn't that what your attitude means?" Lu Xi said helplessly: "Reason with you, you want me to be decent, and apologize to you, you are insincere, what do you want me to do?" Sister, give me a way to live. ”…,
"You! …… Hmph, you're right, there's nothing wrong with you, and naturally you don't need to apologize. But like you said, it's also my freedom to hate anyone. ”
Lu Xi couldn't help laughing: "So, do you still hate me now?" ”
"Hmm......" seemed to be a lump of mud suddenly stuffed in his mouth, and the second half of Seyleu's sentence was blocked in his mouth like this; The flush on her face was even more pronounced.
After a long time, she adjusted her breathing, and her face finally returned to her normal complexion. She sat up straight and sat upright and said, "I hate those aristocratic gentlemen who only know how to eat, drink and be merry, and I hate self-righteous people. However, although you are a nobleman and have the potential to get carried away, in fact, you are not a very annoying guy. If you're in school, I'm afraid I won't be able to take the position of student council president. Well, it's weird, you and we are both in the same year, why didn't you go to school? ”
"Who knows, maybe it's because our whole family is in trouble with the school." Lu Xi replied with a smile, and then said to Carol, "What about you, what are your plans?" ”
"Me? Actually, I really didn't think about it. When I first went to school, I just wanted to be angry with my family. ”
"Angry?"
"Well, our family is a businessman. But I have not been interested in business since I was a child, so I have to be scolded by my father and lectured by my eldest brother every day; In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I secretly ran out of the house and signed up for the entrance exam to the Central Academy of Magic. My dad and eldest brother didn't know, in fact, even the tuition fees were my pocket money, and my mother secretly gave me some, so of course they didn't find out. By the time I officially became a student, it was too late for them to object. ”
"Oh, so your father and brother are actually against you becoming a magician?"
"Daddy said that if he was just a simple magician, he wouldn't object. However, in the current federation, once you become a magician, you will inevitably have something to do with politics. It's a world where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and if I fall into it, with my character, sooner or later I'll be eaten alive with my belt and bones. ”
"Well, in a way, your father was a wise man."
"Maybe. But since I've chosen this path, I have no choice but to go on like this. Anyway, if you really encounter a problem, it's a big deal. ”
"Well, you're a great guy in that sense."
"That's not going to work, young master, I'm your servant," said Eloville with a smile, "and all your wages depend on your income. If you don't know where to go, I'll be bothered. ”
"Woo......" Carol rolled her eyes and couldn't speak for a long time.
"Haha...... Uh, Lim, what are you doing here" Lu Xi just laughed twice, only to find that Primra also raised her head, an indescribably complex light shot out of her emerald pupils, staring at her face with determination, and immediately gave goosebumps all over her body.
"Do you need to talk about that?" Sehireu smiled disdainfully, "Lim is also your servant. If you don't think about what to do in the future, she will be very worried. ”
"Well, Lim, I don't remember that our relationship was to be held together by something as vulgar as money."
“…… Jock, Mary, and everyone else need a lot of money to go to school. ”
"Uh......"
"Lu Xi said: Your resentment against money is more stable than the stellar structure of the macrocosmic universe. So, money is not a vulgar thing......"
“…… Hmm, I'm desperate, I'm completely desperate for this world that is complained about by a natural stupid monster mother! ”…,
At this time, Lu Xi didn't expect that it would be the last time to be able to look forward to life and the future with friends of the same age so easily.
The time had already entered the night, the sun had already set, the moon was shrouded in a thin mist, but the silver splendor seemed extremely hazy.
A young soldier stands on the watchtower of Job No. 1. He was dressed in leather armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and on the edge of the watchtower, there was a crossbow with good arrows.
At this time, most of the soldiers of the entire Job One had gone into hibernation, but the eyes of the soldiers standing guard were still bright and their ears were still keen. As a sentry, his eyesight and hearing were often excellent, and as soon as he felt something stirring, he was able to ring the bell on the watchtower, and the entire Job's soldiers were able to immediately wake up from their sleep and go into battle.
The young soldier scanned the night warily in the hazy moonlight. Even though he had excellent eyesight, he couldn't see much with such visibility.
He sighed, turned his head, and heard a faint flutter.
It was probably no louder than the fluttering of a chicken's wings, but it was enough to alert the soldiers. His sword was already unsheathed, and he turned his head and shouted, "Who! ”
At this moment, a feathered arrow flew silently from behind the dark abyss-like night sky from another direction, and struck the soldier's throat like a hunting viper.
"Enemy attack!" The sharp pain in his throat and the growing weakness made the soldier aware of it, but he was unable to make a sound.
"Bump!" The sound of a landing reached the ears of the soldiers. It was supposed that the enemy had already climbed the tower, but the soldier ignored it, and with all his strength he climbed up and jerked the rope of the alarm bell.
"Ding, ding, ding!" The bells rang out in all directions.
"Enemy attack!" More and more boiling and footsteps came out of the barracks of Job One, lights were constantly lit, and heavily armed soldiers appeared in the hallways.
"In the end, there was no dereliction of duty...... the soldier lay on the ground, feeling his life slowly dissipate as blood flowed out, this was the last thought in his mind. He didn't hear the angry screams of the enemy in front of him, and naturally he didn't feel a sense of oppression as dark and terrifying as death and hell.
More and more Black Flag Wingers landed in Job One, accompanied by a black-robed man riding on a giant dragon-like creature.
"Master, the assault begins, please give the order." A black-flag-winged man respectfully asked the black-robed man for instructions.
"it, in order to give my old friend a bad breath. Then let's bloodwash here, remember, not a single one! ”
