At the port, everyone said goodbye to Andrel, who had just become a "good friend". When this mysterious royal sister officer first arrived at the port, he was mysteriously picked up by a carriage.

Sai Xiliu looked a little stunned, as if he realized that this senior sister, who was almost equivalent to his own sister, would not be able to see each other for a long time.

"I don't know what the senior sister is busy with, I haven't seen each other for a few years, and it is said that I haven't even repaired the long vacation. Every time a letter was sent to me, there was no address, and when I wrote to her, I had to send it to her mother. Sai Xiliu said abruptly, and looked at Lu Xi beside him: "If only a certain unmotivated and unconscious guy had half the energy of Senior Sister Andrel, maybe he could be a county magistrate by now." ”

"And then what? There are no prefects and central leaders on their heads, and the central commissioners who occasionally pass by must also serve carefully, lest the black gauze hat be taken off if something goes wrong. Lu Xi said: "It's good to be unmotivated like us, doing private work with the salary of the Federation, and digging a lot of property by dividing five copies by two." Seyliu, the equipment in your hand now is worthy of a magic nobleman who has been inherited for hundreds of years as an heirloom, and his strength far exceeds that of his peers, and a silver 10th-order magician is already qualified to lead an elite battle mage group in the federal army. Is this qiē something that can be obtained by sitting in the office in a stupid way? So, Sao Nu, we need to emancipate our minds and broaden our horizons, so as to adapt to the changes in this ever-changing world. ”

"Okay, okay, you're going to start fooling me with this high-sounding nonsense, do you think I'm going to be fooled every time?" Sai Xiliu gave Lu Xi a vicious look. Then he sighed slightly: "Actually, I just feel that my wealth and strength are growing too fast." I'm embarrassed. The state and the Union have nurtured me, but I have not done much for it. It's really unpleasant to think about. ”

No, no, no, this has nothing to do with the country and the alliance, it's all about the system experience I give to my companions, girl, if you really want to thank me, use your body......

I don't know if Lu Xi has thought about such words, anyway, he hasn't evolved to that point after all, and he still hasn't said it.

"So...... Do you have any plans for the future? ”

"I haven't thought about this either." Sai Xiliu looked at Lu Xi and sighed faintly: "I originally thought that becoming a diplomat would fulfill my dream of traveling around the world. But if you think about it, after following you for a year, I have seen the most magnificent and treacherous scenery in the world, and I have experienced the most exciting and thrilling adventures, and even era-level monsters like the Abyss Lord and the Demon General have been killed...... If you are an ordinary traveler, who would dare to say that they have more experience than me? Perhaps, I should have done some down-to-earth work. Well, thanks to you, I saved a sum of money. I can buy a house in the suburbs of Elichar with the right environment and size, and bring my mom and dad and my younger siblings over. It's time for the old couple to come and enjoy the blessings, and the younger siblings can also receive a better education in the capital. ”

"Gee, if it's a house, why buy it again? I'm ...... here."

"You want me to stay with you?" Sehiru's eyes froze. Suddenly, there were some indescribable ingredients on his face, which seemed a little subtle: "In what capacity?" In what position? What's going on in such a vague way? ”

Lu Xi was speechless for a moment. Miss Student Council President seems to have expected this for a long time, with a "I knew you would be like this" expression. Glancing at each other in disappointment, he snorted lukewarmly.

Seyriku thought for a moment. And again: "That's right, speaking of which." The owner of the Turquoise is Mr. Eugene. I talked to me just now, and he said that he was willing to see little Ellie have a good relationship with us, and in order to thank us for helping him catch the murderer, he hoped to give Ellie to us......"

"It's an old catfish who knows how to see the needle. Is it trying to use this method to demand that we not hold him accountable for leading the wolf into the house? Lu Xi sneered, groaned, and asked, "How is the kid now?" ”

"It's a little depressing. After all, so much has happened...... The person he desperately protects is actually a high-risk vampire, a key criminal of the Federation; It's just safe, and it's been given away by the owner like goods. Even so, she kept smiling in front of me and saying that she could do anything, eat little and be diligent...... Hey, it's heart-wrenching. ”

Lu Xi touched his chin, and then said, "Then, you can take her home." ”

"Huh?"

"Sehireu is also a magician, and with your strength, it has only been a matter of the past few months. According to the federal system, it is an absolute aristocracy, and there is always a need for someone around to make people look decent, right? I know you don't care about that, but you can't help it, the vast majority of the superior people in the Federation just care. If you really think that child is pitiful, you should do a good deed and adopt a sister. Follow you, at least I won't worry about that child being abused. ”

"But why didn't they follow you?"

"Who knows...... Maybe it's because I don't dare to meet the child's eyes. ”

Sai Xiliu glanced at Lu Xi, as if she wanted to ask something, but she was empathetic and finally gritted her teeth and held back. She thought about it for a moment and agreed. So, after that, the ability of the commoner born Sehireu? Miss Moore had a little maid named Ellie.

There is no way, the depravity of human nature is always at least 9 times faster than sublimation.

The next day, Lu Xi accompanied Sai Xiliu to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to report on his work.

A middle-level leader of the department received the two men with a smile on his face and spoke highly of their achievements on the diplomatic front in a kind and appreciative tone. Although in addition to swiping the favorability of the Virginia royal family, especially the future empress, Lu Xizhen didn't know what kind of diplomatic work he had done. After that, the cordial leader said that the personnel files of the two had been taken away by the Central Personnel Bureau of the Academic Alliance, and they were no longer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. New jobs must be determined after the festival of dawn at the latest. Let the two of them take the opportunity to go home and rest.

If it weren't for the fact that this fifty-year-old leader sent the two to the gate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his attitude was so affectionate that he could even be a little flattering. Lu Xi almost wondered if he had offended some powerful person inexplicably, and he was framed aside and put to play, and he also affected Sai Xiliu by the way.

Afterwards. Lu Xi himself went to the headquarters of the Field Service Agency alone as a secret traveler, located in the basement of a dilapidated house in the winding alley, which looked like a secret base for the villain organization.

Speaking of which, except for the first time when he accepted his fate, Lu Xi had never come to this place again. As a glorious and great "Jinyiwei" of the Federation, he must also be the most unmotivated "Jinyiwei" in the history of the two worlds. As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xi remembered a tough guy martial arts movie he had watched before crossing over, although of course, although it was a martial arts shell. In his bones, it is a typical realist theme. I don't know if the poor people in the movie who can't get into a hundred positions with embroidered spring knives and fight to death will be ashamed and indignant when they see an atypical "brocade guard" like Lu Xi.

Lu Xi did not meet his immediate boss, that is, the director of the department, Makarov, but met the deputy director of the department who managed all personnel files and human resources, which may be more appropriate in a sense.

So, in front of the deputy director who met for the first time, Lu Xi handed over his resignation report.

"Captain Berencaster, I'm so embarrassed for me. You are a special talent that Master Makarov personally introduced, unless he nods. Otherwise, I would not have been able to sign this resignation report. ”

"So, when will the lower official see the hall master?"

"It's not clear, it's as short as ten days and half a month, or as long as a year and a half." The other party stroked his treacherous goatee. He replied in an insincere manner.

Sure enough, you shouldn't expect anything from the state secret police agency.

"Then, I will find a way to meet with the Minister of War, Master Rassell, and ask him for my resignation. Is that okay? ”

"Of course. Just listen to it. Regarding Lu Xi's behavior, which was obviously a taboo in officialdom, the other party showed an expression of joy to see it. Unspeakable irony.

Coming out of the headquarters of the Field Service Department in a dejected manner, Lu Xi suddenly felt. These guys are really not ready to have fun. A few days later, Lu Xi took everyone to the central real room of the Federation once, and sold the loot with chaotic power in his hand, and the gold coins he bought were even more than Lu Xi expected, more than 8,000 gold mila. He paid less than 100 mira for the commission and sent several crafts and gems to the auction house in Elichar, so that it is expected that by the first half of next year, another 5,000 or so will be credited.

Of course, these are not all of Lu Xi's inventory. Except for some Lu Xi who he likes to stay and play, the rest he is going to find a time to go to the auction of Neosfia, and the profit he will get should exceed Elichar.

Even on an average basis, Sehireu was able to obtain more than 1,500 gold coins, enough for her to become a rich little rich woman with a large dowry. After that, Lu Xi took her to the suburbs to pick a small three-story mansion, and there is a very elegant garden and lawn behind the house, which is enough for a large family of more than 10 people to live comfortably in it.

Under the bargaining of Lu Xi's level 10 famous eloquence, the final transaction price of the mansion was about 900 gold coins. After that, Sai Xiliu took little Ellie to live in it, and then Zhang Luo took the whole family from the countryside to take over the matter.

Lu Xi originally wanted to find a chance to get together with Carol, but suddenly remembered that he had already said in his last letter that he and Eloville had graduated from the short-term class of the military academy and were now in a three-month internship training for newly promoted officers, and should not be able to return to Elichar after the New Year.

By the time Lu Xi met the Federal War Minister Rassell again, it was already the fifth day since he returned to Elichar.

The same inconspicuous small building, the same simplely decorated office, the same majestic old man, the difference is that at first glance he seems to be a little older. The hair is completely white, and there are more wrinkles and age spots on the face. The only thing that comforted Lu Xi was that his spirit seemed to be much better than the last time they met, although there was still a certain gap between him and his spirits.

The old man took the report handed to him by Lu Xi. But he didn't look at it, but just threw it on the table casually: "So." Do you really want to quit this time? ”

"Well, I mentioned it at the beginning of the year anyway. When I mention it again this year, I believe that the leaders must have carefully examined my situation, and also have a candidate and plan to replace me, and I will definitely give understanding. Well, maybe there is no need for such a plan...... There is no way, Xia Guan is really a waste with no sense of responsibility and honor, Yu Gong has no consciousness and spirit to fight to the death for the country, and Yu Private does not have the ambition of a high-ranking official to seal his wife and son. To put it more ugly, it's a salary thief. You see. I've been on my way to Virgia since I received your order, and I've been doing official business honestly for only a month or two, and then I've been accompanying my sister on adventures all over the world. It's not so much a federal civil servant as a complete adventurer. That's it, I still get my salary every month, and even I feel like I'm a bit fucked. In the end, if a black sheep like a subordinate remains in the system, it must be the greatest insult to those colleagues who work diligently and conscientiously. ”

After finishing the above unscrupulous and undisciplined self-blackening with a serious expression, Lu Xi blinked his eyes slightly. said: "Look, how about writing the resignation report like this?" ”

"Hey, Andrel has presented your form of the operation in the form of a written report. Among them, there is a lot of praise for you, and Makarov even mentioned it to me. It is hoped that you will be transferred to the Executive Directorate of the Field Support Service, where you will be able to plan and direct major missions. Looking at it like this, he really wants to train you to be the successor. Russell looked at Lu Xi, whose expression suddenly showed signs of stiffness and paleness. A smile appeared on his face: "I thought his idea was too taken for granted before, but now I see you." But I can't help but feel that my old guy is still old. The mind is rigid. ”

"The last time we met, I was appreciating the progress of your strength, but this time, I was amazed that the goddess was so kind of favored by you." Russell showed a look of relief: "Now, even if this old guy of mine takes action himself, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you down 100%, right?" ”

This, indeed, is hard to say. Although your archmage is also a legendary, it is definitely much worse than the legendary element of our old man, and I have also fought against the same legendary snake demon general in the dungeon...... If we do fight, although we do not have the confidence to win, we will not even have the courage to confront.

At this time, Rassell suddenly said: "Marklov has been sitting in the position of director of the field service department for seven years. We all know the peculiarities of this sector, and it is impossible for a person to stay in this position for ten years. At the rate of progress you are making now, it is not impossible to sit in his position in three years' time. ”

"A state secret police mind less than twenty-five years old? As far as I know, precedents like this don't end very well. Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, not only was he unmoved, but there was even a hint of disgust that was not so obvious in his words.

Russell frowned, and then let out a long sigh, and there was more of a distinct sigh on his countenance, which looked older than the last time he saw him: "This operation was all planned by the Field Service Department, and it was not until three days after the start of the operation that I was officially reported...... I didn't approve of it, but at the same time I didn't stop it. ”

In Rassell's sight, Lu Xi, who heard this, did not have any emotion and fluctuations in his expression, at least on the surface.

"Master, you don't think that I blame you for this fishing operation, do you?" Lu Xi shook his head with some distress: "I am not a fourteen or fifteen-year-old rebellious middle school child, nor am I an extreme human rights activist, although my previous experience makes my feelings not very acceptable to this way of action, but I understand very well the choice you and the Logistics Department made at that time." Whether you approve or acquiesce, at least in terms of results, this is the best option for the Federation. To put it mildly, a moral model does not mean the greatness of a person, but in a sense, having the consciousness and determination to do cruel and despicable things for the sake of faith may be more worthy of admiration. ”

Lu Xi raised his hand and gave a military salute seriously. Not as a junior to a close elder, but as a member of the Union as a member of the Union to the highest military commander of the Federation.

"Master! In this life, I am destined to not have the courage and conviction of you, and I do not even have the consciousness of Andrel's predecessors. This time on the floating ship, although I made a certain contribution by mistake, I have self-knowledge, and I am destined to be unsuitable in a position like the secret imperial history. ”

Rassell leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands, his expression was calm, but his tone was a little distant: "That's just because you yourself haven't realized your own abilities, but I believe that this day won't make me wait long." At that time, without anyone pushing you, you will naturally come to where you belong. ”

Without waiting for Lu Xi to refute again, Rassell nodded, opened Lu Xi's resignation report, and lifted the quill beside him: "I can approve your request to resign from the post of inspector, but I will not let you leave the army." Captain Berencaster, you must know that due to the perfect resolution of the attack on the floating ship, the federal government has decided to officially promote you to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and a platinum ruby six-pointed star medal for your top military merits. You must know that this medal is second only to the Order of the Blue Sky for outstanding contributions to the country in the Federation's military merit system, and in the first five hundred years of the establishment of the federal army, there were not more than 1,000 people who received this medal. Neither the government nor the army will allow the recipients of this medal to leave the army. ”

"That...... If according to the system of the Lighthouse Nation, if I get this kind of medal, shouldn't I be transferred to a civilian position to go around the catwalk and sell war bonds? I'm okay with that. Lu Xi muttered quietly.

Fortunately, Master Rassell didn't seem to hear Lu Xi's words, and continued, "I will temporarily transfer your position to the reserves. However, you will always receive a warning order from the federal government. ”

"What? Do you think that now you can still go to the countryside to become a squire and a rich man? You will never be a pure born person like Mr. Orucello. Seeing Lu Xi's constipated expression, the old man smiled like an old fox who had succeeded in his tricks.

"Lu Xi, your strength is a very important asset to this country. When your robes and friends are in danger, you must go to their rescue; When the people are in danger, you also have to protect these powerless people; Of course, if one day, when the country is about to be turned upside down, please be sure to protect the country. ”

The other party's words were calm but with obvious exhaustion, which made Lu Xi have to be moved. He groaned for a moment, raised his head, and tried to make his smile look healing, "If you, Brother Alain, and Senior Andreel are in danger, I might fly over to protect you." ”

"Oh, that's pretty reliable." The Minister of War of the Federation looked up, and there seemed to be something more profound in his smile of relief. (To be continued......)
