"Ha, I would like to know what the people in Borden think of me?"
Xiuge sat down and lit the cigarette in his hand. At this time, a vehicle carrying army doctors and various medicines and equipment happened to pass by.
Several glances immediately came over.
Alfred was obviously a habitual offender. He put out the cigarette in his hand very quickly, picked up a document and pretended to be working seriously.
Xiuge's reaction was a little slower, so he saw three familiar faces riding in the same car.
Elan, the alchemist doctor accompanying the army, glanced at Alfred and Shuge with some displeasure, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned his head to pretend to be looking at the scenery on the roadside.
As a physician's apprentice, Sally held a heavy alchemy book in her hands. She was originally discussing something with the female mage sitting next to her. However, now, both parties involved in the discussion looked over, and their eyes were fixed in unison.
On the cigarette in Xiuge's hand.
There was a slight distance between the two cars, so Shuge didn't hear clearly what Sally turned to say to Wei Lin.
But the next second, a mage's hand suddenly appeared at the window. It reached over gracefully, snatched the cigarette from Xiuge's hand, and then threw it into the snowdrift by the roadside.
Shuge, on the other hand, looked out the window seriously. Whenever the Fifth Chasseur Regiment began to march, all the soldiers would fall into silence. Just as it was rumored, the Votel soldiers always made people laugh when executing military orders.
Thinking of those magic puppets made by mages using materials such as soil, rocks, and metals, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, a group of people who strictly execute orders in silence are indeed no different from lifeless cold creations.
Just when Shuge was thinking about the whole thing, Major Alfred suddenly made an invitation: "By the way, do you remember what we said before? In the army, there are some things that every man will like."
, how about it, would Mr. Ernst be interested in taking a look?"
Xiuge took a sip of water with some difficulty, finally suppressing the greasy taste of canned meat in his mouth, and then nodded.
Weilin can cast spells normally, which means that she no longer wears the magic-suppressing silver shackles used to suppress magic power - just as Alfred had promised before, Weilin has obtained the skills required by being a lake-level magic scholar.
deserved treatment.
Major Alfred picked up his lunch box, drank the vegetable soup made from dried vegetables and simple seasonings, and then wiped the oil stains on his mouth: "Here, before everyone finishes eating,
Come on, I'll take you for a walk."
"When I left the Dream Sanctuary, Theseus asked me to hurry up...could it be because of this?"
"I don't want to care about them, but judging from the current situation, they might care about me."
"You care about this?"
Shuge had doubts about the conclusions he had derived.
Alfred's words were obviously very relaxed, but there was not much smile on his face.
In fact, for a long, long time in the past, this was also the reason for the death of many military mages. It is precisely for this reason that the armies and legal committee branches of various countries will include physical training and the use of cold weapons.
Among the important training courses for military mages.
As long as he was a little more enthusiastic about this kind of activity, he would not have been struggling in an industry for nearly ten years and was still diligently figuring out scripts and planning projects. Even the plot director position he held before his sudden death was
They were even forcibly carried up.
The seemingly gentle kiss brought a shiver of coldness at this moment. The stimulating feeling coming from the palm of his hand made Xiuge couldn't help but clench his fists. So under the action of body temperature, these white fragments
The crumbs immediately melted into clear water.
Xiuge stretched his palm out of the window, and soon, snowflakes fell on his palm.
The carriage fell into silence.
"It seems that most of the people who have 'commented' on me in front of Alfred are members of the Ernst family, and are most likely my 'peers'."
Xiuge chatted casually with him for a few words, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Major... you just mentioned that I am far from the image described by others, so I would like to ask who made these comments.
Who are they?"
"If the inference is not wrong, then the Ernst family is most likely using certain activities and decisions within the family as a cover this time, but in fact it is to let me, or let's let 'Suge Ernst'
Returning to Bolden... Maybe I should be careful. If the managers of the Ernst family are really related to the Black Sun Society, then I will most likely fall into a new round of bad situations."
Alfred stared at the document in front of him, as if he was trying to pick out a few typos among the rigorous words.
"Looks like some kind of crystal gun?"
After thinking about it this way, Xiuge's thinking became clear.
"Also, I would say you'd better choose the lively one... After all, no matter how beautiful the mage is, he may use magic to teach you a lesson at any time, and you basically have nothing to do in this situation, but if you
If you really like this, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
The rations of Votel's army are as rigid as their discipline and rules. Shuge carefully observed and found that the lunch of each Votel soldier probably consists of large pieces of black bread, canned smoked pork or beef,
and dried vegetables used after soaking in hot water.
Moreover, Shuge did not think that the issue of succession required the Ernst family and the "Three-clawed Falcon" to use their power and influence to allow a team like the Fifth Chasseur Regiment to take the risk to support him.
"It's normal to not be able to finish eating, Mr. Ernst... It's very difficult to do this with your physique."
…
"What problem would involve a 'corrupt' illegitimate child like me? And judging from Alfred's words, I actually have to face many 'competitors' of the same age. It can't be a family inheritance issue, right?
"
Shuge picked up a magic ink pen from the table and slowly played with it in his hand: "Alfred said that he was unwilling to get involved in my family affairs, so as of now, it seems that the Ernst family is looking for me.
One of the reasons for going back is most likely to deal with some internal issues within the family..."
Xiuge gently shook his palm twice, shaking off the melted snow water from his hand.
"I don't know if there is anything in the Dream Sanctuary that can directly strengthen the physique and change the physical condition... Or, can I quickly achieve this goal by hunting more descendants of the Dark Abyss?"
"Mr. Ernst, you are different from most... people of your age that I have met. There are also obvious differences between you and the members of your family. If possible, I would really like to talk to you. Become a normal friend."
Combined with the information revealed by Wei Lin before, Shuge has every reason to believe that the actions of the Ernst family are most likely related to the unrest in Salem City and the plans of the Black Sun Society.
Because they were on the road, all members of the Chasseur Regiment used the rations to complete the meal.
Alfred's words were very cryptic, but they revealed enough information.
"Well, from a classification point of view, it has not yet broken away from the crystal gun weapon category, but compared to those stupid and expensive things, this is the most elegant and slender noble lady."
At this time, he also heard Alfred's voice.
Alfred's words seemed a bit messy, but Shuge heard something from them, so he asked: "Ordinary friends?"
"Yes, we usually drink, chat, or play dragon teeth together. You may not know that I am even an honorary member of the Borden Dragon Teeth Club."
The two cars separated quickly, and then Shuge heard Alfred let out a strange laugh. Then he put down the document in his hand and took out another cigarette: "Theoretically, you are still a patient. No smoking allowed.”
"The foundation of this body is really bad. With this kind of physical foundation, even if I obtain magic that can be used for close combat, I will still be at a disadvantage in the battle... As for escaping, it is even more difficult. Forget it."
It's not shabby to just eat a lot of food.
He was really overstretched now, and although he wasn't too interested in the "things that men like" that Alfred said, he really needed a walk to eat.
"It's the past, it's just the past."
He was obviously only about thirty years old, but when Alfred talked about these topics, he acted like a veteran who had experienced many relationships and marriages.
Although this magic steam vehicle still uses magic crystals to convert power like other vehicles, its shape is somewhat similar to the military trucks Shuge has seen.
"I see."
As for the competition for heirs and the struggle for status, Xiuge really has no interest at all.
Shuge nodded gently.
After all, the original owner of his body has always been an existence that is better than nothing in the Ernst family. For most members, there is no need for them to care about a poor guy who barely survives by writing third-rate literature, even if No matter how influential those words are, no matter how many fans and readers admire him, he will never be able to achieve elegance.
The snow on the road has been swept to both sides of the road under the magic of the military mages, but at this time, snowflakes are still falling from the sky, and these soft white elves continue to sweep among the marching team with the breeze. Then, they kissed everything in front of them, the faceplates of the soldiers, the books of the mages, the heads of the war horses...
"Mr. Major, you are very experienced. Have you experienced this before?"
Soon, under Alfred's command, two soldiers came over and took out two long pole objects wrapped in oilcloth from the carriage.
Soon, Shuge followed Major Alfred to a row of simple yet extremely sturdy transport vehicles.
Shuge narrowed his eyes. He knew that this should be what Alfred wanted to show him.
After giving his advice very "sincerely", Alfred hesitated for a moment, and then changed his words: "However, it seems that the other one is also a doctor's apprentice now, either a mage or a doctor, tsk tsk, what do you think?
None of it is right."
Shuge followed Alfred. The major looked thin after putting on his coat. However, once he took off his coat, his strong body under the military uniform was revealed. Shuge had seen this before.
The muscle lines on the guy's arms are very amazing. Xiuge is sure that when facing this kind of enemy, if his magic makes a mistake, he will most likely be killed by the opponent on the spot.
Alfred smiled and untied the oilcloth, and a slender weapon made of wood and metal as its main parts appeared in Shuge's sight. As he described, compared to those inlaid with magic crystals and engraved with
A heavy long-tube crystal gun with complex magical rituals, this weapon appears to be lighter and more flexible.
Xiuge's expression froze for an instant, and Sally, who had witnessed all this, showed a bright smile. She covered her mouth with a book, her eyes almost narrowed into a line, and beside her, the person who had just been entrusted with the action
Wei Lin, who put out her cigarette, also showed a faint smile, but when Xiuge's eyes moved over, the smile quickly disappeared.
At noon, the marching 5th Chasseur Regiment took a short rest by the road, while Shouge, along with Major Alfred, had a simple lunch with the soldiers of the 5th Chasseur Regiment.
Shuge heard the officer continue: "I'm serious, Mr. Ernst. After you return to Bolden, if you want to play cards with me, drink or whatever, you can do it. I will be happy to participate in such activities.
But other things are exempt. You can probably see that I hate getting involved in other people's family affairs."
Not only that, this behavior of the Ernst family is very likely to be kept secret from most family members. It is precisely because of this that his "peers" will not know about his return to Bolden.
He takes it so seriously, because only in the eyes of those who are really prepared to participate in family competition, will he become a threatening target.
Although it is simple, the weight is very solid, especially that kind of can. With Xiuge's current body, there is no way to eat it completely, so the remaining half of the can was taken by Duden, a young soldier who had been following him.
Go, not wasting food is also an important rule in Votel's army, and Duden, as Shuge's current temporary guard, needs to solve this problem for Shuge.
Behind the slender metal barrel is a metal runner with nine bullet chambers, and behind it is a metal hammer inlaid with magic crystals.
Shuge quickly figured out the principle of this new firearm. He was very surprised because this weapon was very similar to the old-fashioned revolver rifle in his memory.
However, in this weapon, what is used to fire the bullets is still a crystal containing magic power and a special magic ritual engraved on the wheel and hammer.
With this new firearm, Xiuge clearly felt the confusion of time and space.
