Chapter 11 Dismounting?
Sea breeze, seagulls and the ever-changing sea level, these three things constitute the most common scenery in the guard palace. In addition, there are probably only those buildings full of metal texture and few trees in the guard palace that can be regarded as landscapes...
"But... this place looks really tattered..." It is certain that dilapidated, but it is still a bit too much to say that Ye Yu is tattered... You should know that as an abandoned custodian, most of the buildings on this island have been destroyed by time. It is not easy for Wu Ji to restore this place to barely see in just a few years.
You should know that frontline positions like the garrison are all built with steel structures. To achieve the best defense ability with the fastest degree is the only requirement for the garrison. After all, on the frontline where the enemy is entangled with the enemy, God knows when will he encounter attacks from the deep sea... Those guys who are completely unable to communicate cannonballs wash the floor at any time.
But for this world, steel is not only a strategic material but also a necessary resource for cultivating ship girls. It is probably the most expensive resource in addition to the most scarce aluminum. Just repairing such a small guard house made Wu Ji tighten his belt... Even so, the guard house today looks not much different from the abandoned gathering points in the apocalypse. After all, most of the steel used here is recycled after being scrapped, and the rusty traces look like it makes people have no good impression...
"There are no dilapidated people? The admiral's garrison is quite beautiful!" Xiyu, who brought Ye Yu back to her home garrison, retorted quite clearly. In her eyes, the garrison where her admiral is her home. Even if it looks so dilapidated, no one will be allowed to slander... Even Ye Jiang can't do it!
Due to the boss's entrustment, Xiyu took Ye Yu back to his garrison after working overtime to complete the work in advance. The diamonds she earned from Ye Yu by selling intelligence... Of course, Xiyu thought that what she helped bring back was only some local specialties, otherwise it would be strange if this girl was suspicious all the way...
"Yes..." Ye Yu was perfunctory on his mouth. After all, he really couldn't see what's good about this kind of military camp... For those who are used to seeing flowers, birds, and romantic things, it was really difficult to accept this angular layout for a while. Ye Yu could only feel the power from it rather than the beauty...
As the small sampan they were riding slowly approached the embankment of the guard house, Ye Yu also saw the two ship girls who came to greet him and Xiyu.◆Just simply from their figure, the two were probably battleships or battle patrols, but in short, they looked much more mature than Xiyu.●
"Sister Li Yu~~Sister Kui Yu~~" Before the sampan had completely arrived at the shore, Xiyu, who had been seeing her relatives for a long time, jumped out of the direct boat and stepped on the sea water that was enough to cover her knees and rushed towards the two of them, "I miss you so much~~"
Even the ship girl, Xiyu is still a child at such a young age. It is really a bit harsh to have to go to the Governor's Mansion alone in order to temper herself. It is natural for her to be in love with her family if she thinks of this... But I think it is probably because of her attachment to the guardian's mansion that this girl chose to work hard to train herself to develop a strength that can defend everything.
Ye Yu, who was standing on the sampan, shook his head and smiled inconspicuously. After the family got close to each other, he walked up to say hello to the two ship girls.
"Hey, you are the child Xiyu mentioned in the letter~~ It looks...well. It's not adorable at all!" The one who was called Kuiyu is more lively in comparison, and of course it's okay to say it's noisy. After seeing Ye Yu, she ran over and leaned down and put her hands on Ye Yu's shoulders, and began to look at him carefully...
"Kuiyu! You are so rude!" Li Yu, who looked the most elder sister among the three, pulled Kuiyu away with helpless look on her face, then turned her head and smiled apologetically at Ye Yu, "Sorry... Kuiyu is like this, please don't mind..."
"Sister!" Maybe it was hard to say that she was taught a lesson by her sister in front of outsiders. In short, Kuiyu was a little dissatisfied in her tone when she spoke... And when Xiyu saw this scene, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled secretly. ■▲
"Did I say something wrong?" Li Yu slapped his sister on the shoulder, "Or, Kui Yu, you forgot that Mr. Ye Yu is the admiral's guest, how could he be treated like you? You are not afraid of losing the admiral's face..."
As soon as the admiral was mentioned, Kuiyu, who originally wanted to say something more, suddenly closed her mouth... However, the eyes that looked at Ye Yu were still full of resentment.
"Okay. Mr. Ye Yu... the admiral is already waiting for you in the dojo. Please come with me."
"Daoist? Is there any place to entertain guests? Or..." Thinking of his purpose of coming here and the statement that Wu Ji didn't like Europeans at all, Ye Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth... "Hey, hey, what a threat..."
————————————————————
It is called a temple, but for this dilapidated garrison, there is not enough money to build a qualified training ground. Moreover, if it is eroded by the sea breeze, the wooden temple may also require frequent repairs... Who would have so much time on this frontier position? So the gym that Wu Ji devoted herself to building is just a relatively empty big house, with the floor and walls all made of steel plates. ◆▲ This means that if you fall, it will be quite painful...
"Are you Ye Yu?" When the group came to this so-called dojo, the woman named Wu Ji was sitting there cross-legged. Maybe because she had undergone a rigorous enough training, her face looked a little flushed, but her breathing was not messy at all, as if she had been fully trained.
After seeing Ye Yu and the others come in, Wu Ji suddenly turned her eyes on Ye Yu... She insisted on saying that she didn't want to waste her time on this young master. However, whether it was the letter sent to her by Zhuyu or the twenty bags of diamonds, she had no reason to refuse, at least she had to act like she was perfunctory.
After seeing Ye Yu herself, she became even more determined. For Wu Ji, who was born in a famous family, she could clearly distinguish the grace of Ye Yu's every move with just a glance. This is the result that can only be achieved after receiving strict etiquette education from an aristocratic family. In peacetime, such behavior may add a lot to him, but now it is a war era!
At such a time when you may encounter attacks and die at any time, are there any other possibilities for wasting your precious time in this way besides the useless little face? Besides, you want to get into the navy or something at this age. How could you have any positive combat power? Maybe you want to gain some political reputation through this? For these newborn guys, Wu Ji has always been willing to guess with the most malicious intentions.
When the other party looked at her, Ye Yu also secretly commented in her heart about the guy in front of her who was not talented but still climbed to the top position of the Pacific Front with his efforts. "Well... I feel that it is not much different from Yi Ji. He is both a soldier and is good at martial arts. His muscles are tight but not bloated. There is a thick layer of cocoon at the tiger's mouth, probably he was a knife? But it seems that she is so hostile to me..."
However, after a meeting, both of them defined each other in their hearts. Just as Wu Ji didn't like Ye Yu's aristocratic style at all, Ye Yu was actually quite good at Warrior Ji. Knight Ji had no choice. After all, their profession gave people a feeling of stubbornness, but Ye Yu was not a tough person, so it was difficult to reach a consensus after the two met.
"I am Ye Yu..." Ye Yu nodded in response to Wu Ji's question.
"Then you should have heard of Miss Zhuyu. If you want to become my apprentice, you must pass the test I set, otherwise I will not accept it no matter what you do." Wu Ji's tone was tough, obviously she was too lazy to deal with even perfunctory work. Maybe she had already decided that Ye Yu would definitely lose the election.
"Apprentice? No, no...I think you misunderstood. I'm just here to seek cooperation." Ye Yu shrugged and retorted flatly. He had never considered it. In Wu Ji's opinion, his statement was a little ignorant, so the expression on this woman's face became cold. "Okay, okay, I know that I really have no sincerity to say this, so why don't you make a bet~~"
As he spoke, Ye Yu released a slight breath to lock the woman in front of him. Ye Yu, who was originally harmless, immediately became as terrifying as a prehistoric beast in her eyes... Wu Ji had only encountered that feeling when facing the deep sea...
"Since your name is Wu Ji, I think I must be very knowledgeable about martial arts? So should I try to fight me once? If you can last for 5 minutes under my hands, I will lose to you 2o bags of diamonds. On the contrary, if you can't hold on... I'll give me a construction drawing~ by the way, let me use your construction machine~~"
