"Hey, Claude, are you going back now?" A lieutenant wearing a navy uniform and a beard standing across the street waved a bottle of wine in his hand to say hello to Claude.
It was already dark at this time, and Claude had just come out of the simple three-story office building of the Normandy Real Estate Development Company. A security guard wearing the company's black uniform was helping him hitch the carriage to the black horse Jamie.
"Hello, Lieutenant Nuit, I just worked overtime. You know, there are too many things. Your Lord Viscount has a lot of requirements, and they often change, which brings great challenges to our design and planning work.
There have been a lot of difficulties." Claude shrugged, showing helplessness: "You know, things always become more and more troublesome. You are not on duty tonight? This is to find your little sweetheart.
Miss Miniles?"
This naval lieutenant named Nouit is one of the heads of the naval base construction department. His immediate boss is Viscount Venisque, the naval officer in charge of the White Deer City base construction that Claude complained about, because he often comes to Novotel.
Manly Real Estate Development Company liaises with and supervises community projects. Lieutenant Nouit and Claude are already old acquaintances.
Over time, Claude has become a good friend with Lieutenant Nouit. He knows that the thirty-four-year-old naval lieutenant has not married. He has always claimed that he is an anti-marriage person and believes that family will become his
But his unwillingness to get married does not mean that the navy lieutenant is an ascetic. On the contrary, what he likes most is to get involved with women everywhere. No, after arriving in White Deer City for only a few months, he has become a street
A frequent visitor to the Land of Love, he also hired a young woman named Miniles to rent a house as his love nest in White Deer City.
"Oh, damn, I've been on night shift for two days in a row, and it's finally my turn to have a rest today. That's right, I'm going to find my little wild cat tonight and spend a wonderful, passionate night." Nooyi
Lieutenant Lieutenant Special came over and said, "When are you going to Cape Town? In fact, if you want, you can join the navy, so you don't need to go to the battlefield and become a target."
The news that Claude had received the conscription order had already spread. When Caifuni heard the news, she immediately went to Claude and cried a lot, saying that even if Claude came back with a broken arm and leg, she would not
I will despise Claude, and I guarantee that Claude will live the rest of his life comfortably...
Claude was so angry that he almost kicked her out. Can't you think of a better place? Who will come back with a broken arm and leg? Isn't this a curse on me? But Claude is very grateful.
Kaifani was so passionate about her that she couldn't help but press her against the wall on impulse, and pressed her against the wall for a long time, then touched her all over, and then let her go out with a blushing face.
It was only then that Claude came back to his senses. Was the matter between him and Kaifuni finally settled? He could only blame his habit of being an old driver in his previous life, plus Kaifuni was pretty and pretty, with a good figure.
, after she expressed her affection for him, she couldn't hold back her words and hands, and took advantage of her and was trapped by her...
"Join the navy and go to sea to be a gun target. No need to discuss it." Claude rejected the navy lieutenant's proposal: "Maybe I can be saved if I get shot, but if I get shot with a cannon ball, even the God of War can only wish me rest in peace."
Oh. Besides, if the battleship is destroyed, all the people on the ship will be lost if it sinks. I will not be so stupid as to join the navy."
Anyway, the Army and Navy of the Kingdom of Ovelas do not like each other, and they are both competitors for military funds. Claude is now being recruited by the Army, so of course he will not look good on the Navy, as he is usually used by those naval bases to supervise the project.
The officers had laughed at him enough.
"Thank you, Paul." Claude thanked the company security guard who helped him hitch the carriage, and then turned to the Navy Lieutenant and continued to say: "Today is only the 11th, and it will take about ten days before I can leave for Kafei.
Leicestershire, you must at least finish what you are doing. By the way, what kind of wine are you holding in your hand? Cabbage? There is only half a bottle... My poor Lieutenant Nouit, what are you talking about?
Is this the bad wine used to entertain you and your little wild cat during the passionate night?"
"Well... Hehe... Last month I spent a lot of money, and I haven't received any salary subsidy this month, so I'm a little tight on money. It's good to be able to afford this bottle of kale. Some of my colleagues went to the infirmary to steal alcohol.
Add water and make it a strong drink." The naval lieutenant was not ashamed of Claude's ridicule. Instead, he was proud that he could still afford the kale. In addition, the bottle in his hand was not full.
Only a small half is still dazzling in front of Claude...
"So, why don't I ask you to help me..." Lieutenant Nuit said without blushing: "Look, I'm lucky, you haven't come home yet..."
"You, you know it's not good for you to greet me. Come with me, I can only give you one bottle at most, and I won't be able to explain more." Claude immediately understood what this guy meant, and he was helpless.
He shook his head and led him towards the office: "Paul, help me look at the carriage. I'll be out right away."
"Okay, Master Claude." The company security guard replied loudly.
There is a box of fine whiskey in Claude's office. This is the company's hospitality drink. Every time Lieutenant Nouit comes to contact business, he always finds an excuse to have a drink or two. Just now this guy waved it in front of Claude.
Wearing a half-filled bottle of kale, but staring at Claude's office, the meaning is already obvious, brother, you will never let me go with this half-full bottle of kale.
"Bring me an unopened bottle," Lieutenant Nouit said.
Claude shook his head: "No, you should know that Butler Lutheran is very careless. He comes here every day to take stock. I opened the bottle for you but only drank a little bit. In fact, it is almost the same as the unopened bottle.
,Here, this is the bottle. Although it has been opened, I only poured a little bit to taste it. You see, the bottleneck is a little lower."
"Okay, just this bottle, thank you, Brother Claude." Lieutenant Nuit took the bottle of whiskey and left with satisfaction, but he didn't see the strange flash in Claude's eyes.
gaze.
Taking another bottle of whiskey and putting it into the backpack on his back, Claude then closed the door, left the office building, thanked the security guard Paul, and drove the carriage to the forest farm.
In the cabin at the forest farm, mother had already prepared dinner. However, because Claude came back too late, mother, sister, brother, and the little snow dog had already eaten, so they left a portion of dinner on the table waiting for them.
Claude is back.
"In ten days, you will leave this home..." My mother had been sitting at the dining table watching Claude enjoy his dinner, her eyes reluctant to leave Claude for a moment.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm just going to receive sergeant training. I'm not going directly to the battlefield. You don't have to be so worried. The war has not broken out now and it is still peacetime. Maybe in three years I will appear in front of you wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant. Then
Then I will be an officer of the kingdom." Claude swallowed the food in his mouth and comforted his mother.
After his father passed away, although his mother had recovered her health, her personality became a little sentimental. She was worried about this and that. Sometimes something suddenly occurred to her and she would sit alone and cry silently. Claude was very glad that he brought his mother to live in the forest farm.
, otherwise, if she still lived in that big red brick house, my mother's body and mind would definitely get worse.
"By the way, mother, I opened an account for you in the National Bank. This is the account book. I also transferred the rent of the big red brick house to it. There is also a thousand gold crowns, which I paid in Norman.
The shares of the real estate company are divided into dividends. After I leave, you will have to take care of the rent there. If you are not in good health, you can ask Anna to find Uncle Thomas, and he promises me to help. "
Sure enough, the mother's attention was attracted by the account book. She covered her mouth in disbelief: "How can there be so many dividends? Gram, Claude, there is no money, is it okay?"
Claude said in his heart that if I tell you that this dividend is actually 10,000 gold crowns, I don't know if you will faint on the spot. But he still nodded affirmatively: "Of course there is no problem, it is legal and legal, don't worry, mother,
I will not do anything illegal, nor will I let Madam Maria suffer losses. In fact, she earns a lot more than I do..."
"That's good," the mother finally felt relieved: "Mrs. Maria has been very kind to our family. Not only did she help us pay off the debt of five hundred gold crowns, but she also made you earn so much money.
.Claude, you must remember her friendship. It is a pity that you are leaving soon and cannot continue to work for her in her company..."
Claude smiled and shook his head. He was indeed grateful to Madam Maria, but it was definitely not about repaying debts and making money. If it weren't for Madam Maria's guidance, he might still be an ignorant mage who had left the country and had no knowledge of the continent and the kingdom.
I don’t understand the current situation of the magician at all. I am grateful to Madam Maria mainly for her selfless teaching and not having any evil intentions towards Claude who possesses forbidden magic.
In fact, even if Madam Maria gave Claude a cabin and three hundred acres of mountain forest, it was only an equivalent exchange for the four basic spells Claude gave her. Until Claude planned a real estate development plan and assisted
Butler Lutheran established the Normandy Real Estate Development Company, enclosed the land, planned and designed a new community, and sold it to the Admiralty as a whole, earning Madam Maria a huge fortune. Only then did Madam Maria realize that Claude was
He took the initiative to pay off the debt of Claude's younger brother Booker, and hoped to obtain a pardon for Claude exempting him from military service.
If Claude hadn't let Madam Maria see his talent and value, then based on their status as magicians and pharmacy master-apprentice between the two, Madam Maria would never have been able to do such a thing for Claude.
Many. The strongest foundation for human relations lies in the entanglement of interests between the two parties. Mutual benefit and win-win are the best insurance for lasting friendship.
This is also the reason why Claude was somewhat conflicted after receiving the letter from Madam Maria. After receiving the pardon order exempting from military service, in a certain sense Madam Maria became Claude's guarantor, and also allowed Claude to
With his identity as a civilian tied to the emblem of the Normanry family, Claude would naturally be regarded as a retainer of the Normanry family, just like Butler Lutheran.
Perhaps this kind of treatment is something that no one else can ask for. This is not hugging Madam Maria's lap, but directly boarding the ship of the Normanry family. But the pride of being a time traveler made Claude feel vaguely.
Feeling of resistance, traveling to this different world is not to be treated as a dog leg. Madam Maria is a very good person, but who can guarantee that her family is also very good? If Madam Maria’s children are allowed to come and drink,
If you give instructions, then Claude will really become a shame to the time traveler.
It's okay now. The conscription order given to Claude by Chief Felidos saved Claude from the trouble of rejecting Madam Maria. After deciding to apply, Claude felt as if he had put down a big stone in his heart, and he felt much more relaxed. Maybe.
, I should have left this small town long ago to see the world. Joining the army is not just about being cannon fodder, there are also opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the war.
People, sometimes there are such contradictions. Claude thinks that as a time traveler, he should not be tied to Madam Maria's big tree and lose his personal freedom and become a retainer of the Normanry family. But he doesn't want to think about him.
Being drafted by the kingdom also means losing his freedom in life, and he has to risk his life to face artillery fire. The only difference is that he succumbed to the power of the kingdom, and maybe he still has a chance to succeed...
