Captain Kalki, who was wearing a long "Sherwani" ceremonial uniform, greeted him enthusiastically. A tall man wearing a uniform of a senior manager of Plato's logistics department walked quickly from the official ship surrounded by several entourages.
When he walked out, everyone could tell at a glance that this elderly man had the unique arrogant demeanor of the White Tiger Knight.
"Oh my God, Kalki, you have grown so big!" Namoshiro, the top administrator of Ulustiva, looks younger than his actual age. His blond hair has not yet turned white, but his temples are gray. He is slightly
He held the regiment leader's arm excitedly and looked at him carefully, "Almost 18 years have passed, and you have simply changed into a different person... I never thought that my student would eventually become the grand commander and get the title of 'First Samurai'
The supreme honor has created a brilliance that no one in history can match."
"I always remember your teachings. You are my flight instructor. Without your dedication and teachings, there would be no achievements for me. In this sense, you are more important than the biological father who gave me flesh and blood." Kalki said with a smile.
With his youthful enthusiasm, in front of his former instructor, it was like going back in time.
"Ah, you can talk more than before. At that time, you were really a troublesome boy, unruly and self-centered." Namashira looked at the leader's blue eyes full of pride, "
You can now wear ceremonial uniforms. In the past, you didn’t even like to wear daily student uniforms. You only liked to wear robes. You always said that this was the most comfortable."
"I know that you will definitely dress formally for the banquet. I respect you very much."
"Kalki, you have really changed. It's amazing that you can become the grand leader in charge of Tra Yestera Mausoleum..."
“Plato’s armies and knights shaped me.”
The two were chatting while walking on the spacious and bright stairs of the "Amber Palace". Everything was hidden in the green shade and tall oleander flowers in white, pink and pink purple.
In the evening light, the blue lake water shimmers like shining gems in the rippling blue waves. The light shines through the water outside the unique palace restaurant, letting the pillars that support the entire hexagonal pavilion-like beautiful building
They are all shining brightly.
"I didn't expect to meet my instructor here. Please sit down!"
Kalki warmly greeted the local top official to take his seat. Behind him was the table where the dinner was about to be held. Everything was decorated with utmost elegance and splendor.
On the dining table with a white tablecloth are placed crystal candlesticks with beautiful and unique shapes. The table flowers are made of freesia, alyssum, cymbidium and other gorgeous and elegant orchids. They are as fresh as if they are still in the garden.
Like blooming, the elegant fragrance of orchids spreads throughout the restaurant. All kinds of exquisite wine glasses and tableware shine like a dream under the candlelight and the light of the setting sun.
"This place is so magical, Urustiva, it's like being in a fairyland..." Even Kalki, who is rarely moved by luxury and beauty, stared at it for a few seconds, "I have never heard of the existence of this place, Naloshi
Mo, tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"'Urustiva' is an asteroid that does not exist on any star chart. Of course you would not know it." After the top person in charge of the healing planet sat down, although his body was upright and elegant,
Looks laid back and relaxed.
"Its history is a long story and involves some secrets that I cannot tell you, but I can tell you the original intention of building this place." Narashimo talked eloquently while the servants were serving appetizers, "We are in the predatory interstellar world.
During the war, in addition to a large amount of strategic energy and materials, we also received a lot of precious luxury goods. They were all used in exchange for prisoners of war at the beginning, but over the years, they accumulated too much. According to the teachings of our religion, even the palace should not be so luxurious.
, the decoration of Foch Palace in Dialogue is mainly solemn and simple, so 'Urustiva' was selected to house these priceless luxuries. This planet does not exist in a sense, so it is not subject to Plato's law
constraints.”
"That's it." Kalki looked at the appetizers placed on the unique and exquisite transparent glass plate in front of him. The plain milk potato pie was placed with purple pansy petals and emerald green sorrel. Everything was so pleasing to the eye.
"This place is more luxurious than the White Peacock Restaurant." The group leader exclaimed, "Look at the crystal glass dinner plates that make the food look like art, and the gold-plated tableware, everything is sparkling."
"No, Kalki." Narashimo said with a smile, "There are no fakes on Urustiva. This dinner plate is carved from natural white crystal. The knives and forks are all made of pure gold, made of special craftsmanship.
gold."
This made Kalki almost gasp.
"Have I been using gold tableware this week? God, this is against doctrine and my code of conduct as a human being. Almost all of my men have been killed or injured. How can I live such a luxurious life in this wonderland?
!”
"You have changed a lot in some places, but in some places, you are still you." The supreme commander said calmly, "There are only a handful of senior generals who have come to 'Urustiva' for recuperation. This is a privilege, to be sure.
It is said that the emperor's grace is so great. As for the young people, it is better for them to be locked up in Bukhara and know nothing about the outside world."
These words made Kalki a little uneasy. Not long ago, he was such an ignorant young man. He looked at his flight instructor. Narashimo was extremely smart. Maybe this was the reason why he could be promoted from an instructor to a senior officer.
Secrets of a Supervisor.
"I cannot accept it, nor can I understand it. Our ancestors just hated the stinky and outdated thinking of earth civilization. The lowly people supported the noble people, so they created a heaven on earth where everyone is equal."
"This is not Plato. Every planet and every civilization has its own uniqueness." Narashimo said profoundly, "Plato is becoming an empire. Whether you are willing to accept it or resist it, this trend will not be reversed."
The leader wanted to retaliate immediately, but he restrained himself. The banquet held by Narashimo was not only to reminisce about old times, but also for other purposes.
"Try the Amber Palace's fine wine bar, Kalki. There is a peculiar island on this planet that is rich in grape wine. The Amber Palace's fine wine cellar is extremely rich. You must taste such fine wine!" Narashimo tried his best to show.
He didn't look happy, and he didn't want to have a conflict of opinion with the other party. The atmosphere today was so beautiful. The two old friends reunited in a fairyland far away from the training ground. It was best to have a drink and talk.
A valet professionally poured amber liquid into the crystal cup in front of the top executive, and an alluring sweet citrus fragrance spread in the dusk air.
"It does not contain alcohol and does not violate doctrine. This is the best wine in the entire galaxy. It is called 'Magic Gold Wine' in the alien market, but it is priceless."
"No, I never drink." Kalki put his hand on the open mouth of the crystal glass to express his refusal, "I only drink natural spring water."
