Since the carriage had already been driven away by the girls, Carol and Lucy had to go on foot, but they could talk while walking.

"In a month or two, you're going to graduate from your short-term class, right?"

"Eight weeks, to be exact. Tsk, when you think about it like this, it's really an unbearable time! Others would have taken five years of coursework, but I had to complete it in a year, from morning to night, all training and classes. Breaks can only be used to catch up on schoolwork. Because of this, Wei'er almost turned her face with me. ”

"You must have spent all the effort on paying the public rations, Vile thought you went out and messed around. Hey, who made your black history so much? ”

"How can I have any black history? It's clearly her own race. Don't you know that the Drow Elves have always been a particularly suspicious race? ”

"If it's cheap, it's cheap, and I'll treat this as if I'm basking in happiness and destroying you." Lu Xi glared at the other party with the gaze of a class enemy, "Be content, you." Others have to stay for five years to have a diploma, you only need one year to do it, what else is not satisfied? Don't you hate school the most? ”

"Well, that's what I said......"

"Since they are all about to graduate, there should be other ways to say about the future arrangement, right?"

"You have to look at the final results to decide, right? However, it is certain that the best jobs are expected for the regular five-year graduates. Our short-term classes have always been the ones that my grandmother doesn't love and my uncle doesn't love. You know that, right? In the officer system of the Federation, there is a distinction between the so-called professional and non-professional groups. ”

…… Is it really a statement full of immediacy, is it my delusion?

Carol didn't care about Lu Xi's face full of entanglement, and continued: "The so-called professional group refers to the high-achieving students who graduated from the Nadia Sky Military Academy, and the top ten all have the rank of captain, and the last one will be a lieutenant. The average age at which these people graduate is twenty-five, and most will become school officers before the age of thirty. ”

"The so-called non-professional group refers to those who have not gone to military schools and start from grassroots soldiers. A veteran soldier who has worked hard step by step, and can only be promoted to the next level by an average of half a liter of blood per drain. Lu Xi added casually.

Captain Grimmar is that kind of person, right?

"Eh, so you know?"

"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess. Are graduates of short-term courses like yours the so-called alternate occupational group? ”

"Look. Don't you know all about it? ”

There really is......

"You're a magician. Moreover, during the trial period, there was a first-class military merit in the account, and he was no longer an ordinary person. The above division of egg pain doesn't affect you at all, right? ”

"That's what I said." Carol annoyed: "I have indeed received the letter, and I am still in the staff position of the headquarters of the Central Praetorian Guard. You know. There are not many good things in this kind of local treatment, and they are faced with the big names of the Federation every day, and there are more opportunities for promotion, which has always been specially prepared for those high-achieving students. Hehe, I can't imagine that my dignified Young Master Carol will one day be able to enjoy the treatment of a high-achieving student......"

"So what. You still refused? ”

“…… How do you know I've refused? ”

"That kind of place is not so much the military world, but the officialdom that serves tea and water to the boss every day, and sooner or later you will go crazy with your character. Besides, you don't lack money, and you don't have any power, so you shouldn't run over to lick the chrysanthemum for the leader as soon as your mind is hot, right? ”

"Hehe, you still know me. Actually, I also received a letter from the Eastern Legion. The Legion has been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Black Flag Wingmen during this time, and it has expanded again. The soldiers are fine, but the officers are completely insufficient. If I go. can immediately become the commander of the three centurians...... Hehe, there are 300 people who want to stand honestly and listen to me, as long as they think of that scene, they feel that the suffering they have suffered before is worth it. ”

…… A scumbag captain whose combat power has just reached 50 geese, it is estimated that this is all there is to it.

"When the battle really started, I went to the front. You might regret it. Looking at that smug face, Lu Xi still couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"Don't worry, isn't it just a bunch of bones? It's not that I haven't fought with them, which time is not a big victory? Without the protection of a dark canopy. Maybe even Kazan's old zombie has been torn off his bones. ”

Well, what a very optimistic revolutionary romanticism! As far as I know, though. All those who carried out the revolution with romantic feelings died miserably, and I hope this guy is just an exception, and not the general idea of the whole Union army.

The two walked and chatted like this, and it took more than half an hour to finally come to the business district. Lu Xi also learned a lot about what had happened in the Federation recently from the other party.

As Lu Xi expected, the alliance between the undead and the orcs was unknown to even Carol, a military cadet in a rich family, let alone ordinary people. Although they knew that the Federation was expanding its military, most of them thought it was just a normal military expansion, but none of them considered it from the perspective of all-out war.

Oakland, the world overlord, even when the Sun King was in poor health and poor spirit in recent years, often sent troops across the sea to expedition to the continent of Sothness. Almost all the countries on the northern coast of the Southern Continent that were rude to the Holy Spring Empire were ravaged by it, which also raised a large number of generals who were capable of conquest and battle.

Growing up on the plateau, the descendants of the Nords have been fierce since ancient times, and the situation of being attacked on all sides may seem dangerous, but in fact, it also means that they have accumulated a wealth of experience in warfare. Once they are given a chance, the muscular hunks who have grown up in the glacier will surely set off a storm of conquerors, right?

In contrast, only the Federation, a country built in the sky, hardly felt the pressure of foreign enemies, and in this medieval world, there was no need to bear the so-called "obligations of a great power". Although the low-intensity conflict and fighting between the Black Flag Wingers of the Namoa Mountains and the Undead of Henas has never stopped, most of the people of the Federation have enjoyed peace for many years. So peaceful that even when supplies are scarce and prices are skyrocketing, ordinary people seem to lack the necessary sense of urgency.

Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that the country gives the powerful the opportunity to play the power game in the name of democracy and the republic.

"During this time, prices in the federation have risen sharply, and food in the capital is also in short supply. You won't have any problems with Vile's life, right? ”

"Prices have gone up dramatically, but most of the time we eat in the free cafeteria at school. It doesn't taste great, but at least you won't go hungry because you can't buy food. Carol complained with a bitter face: "But the prices during this period are really outrageous." Thanks to him, our business is not as good as it used to be. ”

Indeed, even the general necessities are in crisis, who is in the mood to buy condoms and sex toys?

"That's why we have to open up new markets! Guarding such an acre and three points of land in the Federation is a dead word. Of course. An unfamiliar market, we to develop our own is half the effort, this is to choose and support a reliable agent. ”

"Well, this, I really don't understand business things. That Mr. Mu also looked weird. But since you brought it. I think my dad and brother will definitely look at him differently. ”

"Don't worry. The character of the black-bellied beast is definitely very problematic, but the strength and ability of him and the boss behind him are definitely not a problem. Maybe by next year, we will pay two or three percent more dividends every month. ”

"How could there be so many?" Carol's eyes lit up suddenly, he just didn't like business. But at least he can count the money, "Didn't he come to talk about Neosfia's agency business?" I know that city is quite prosperous, a city with a population of more than 5 million, which is indeed quite exaggerated when you think about it......"

Indeed, it is very unscientific for a city with a population of more than five million to appear in the Middle Ages. But so what? In my previous life, my brother even stayed in a city with a population of 20 million.

"But no matter what, it's just a city, can there be such a big market?"

"A small island with a population of only five million, but it handles almost half of the world's shipping cargo every year. How much wealth do you think is there? Wealth is not the bed of gold and jewels that the dragon keeps in the cave...... Well, forget it, economics is too high-end for you. All in all, you just need to know that our business is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Hehe, I didn't dare to be interested in making money."

"Who told you that economics is just a science to make money? Tut. True mortal wisdom. Lu Xi pushed the glasses that didn't exist at all with disdain, and then looked at the bright road in front of him. He has been taken by Carol to a relatively high-end luxury business district, and the consumption required by each store is an astronomical amount that can make ordinary ** silky immortals want to die, and because of this, he always doesn't see the mighty queue at the door of the store. The décor is overflowing. The resplendent storefront still flashes with a rich and handsome aura that makes the best silk retreat, like a symbol embodied in luxury. As long as you still have a soul, I'm afraid you won't be able to find any sense of reality in it.

The bustling window in the shop window, that's what you mean here, right?

"Are we going to eat here?" Lu Xi asked with a sigh.

"No way. Other restaurants now have quotas, and it's hard to get a number. At least we don't have to worry about a missed shot here. Carol spread out her hand and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Besides." You finally came back once, and found me such a big fortune, why should I treat you to a good meal, right? ”

"Take your affection." Lu Xi finally squeezed out a difficult smile on his face.

In fact, eating is not only for deliciousness, but more importantly, to eat in a good mood, right? But in this kind of ghost place where even if you drink a sip of coffee, you have to pay attention to the order, and the people sitting around are well-dressed and dignified, what kind of good mood can you have?

However, seeing Carol's enthusiastic appearance, Lu Xi really didn't want to raise objections.

"We're here." Carroll pointed to a tastefully decorated three-story restaurant in the foyer.

Lu Xi hadn't paid attention to the restaurant yet, but he was already attracted by the coat of arms of a carriage parked at the door. It is a family crest decorated with violet flowers as the main body, elegant vine patterns, and six star symbols on the top of the coat of arms, representing the six great mages of this family in history.

If I'm not mistaken, well, this should be the seaweed head, that is, the sworn enemy of Master Russell, the head of the federal gate lord nobles, and the coat of arms of the Wilambat family.

ps: The alien's inhalation optical drive disc can't get out when it goes in, and I went to the Zhongguancun Dell maintenance point to repair it for an afternoon. I bought Alien to play games, but now I don't have time to play 55555 for many games I want to play

In addition, I have to go out on Saturday and Sunday, and I will try to code words if I can code words......
