Claude strode to the podium, stood at attention and saluted.
General Michelich returned the same greeting, then took two steps forward, reached out and took off Claude's three black star epaulettes, and replaced them with a silver moon epaulette. This meant that from this moment on, Claude had already
He crossed the huge gap between lieutenant-level officers and colonel-level officers, and became an official major officer in the Kingdom of Ovelas.
In peacetime, it takes at least five to seven years to go from captain to major. You also need to perform well and win more than three outstanding job awards in the military. But Claude is only twenty-five years old, and he has only been in the army for seven years.
, has been promoted to major without receiving formal training from any military academy. Just like being promoted to the front line for making great contributions on the battlefield, this has almost become a legend in the royal army.
This is the big promotion at the end of the year. Only seven of the twenty-six students in the advanced seminar have been promoted to the next level. One lieutenant colonel was promoted to colonel, and five majors were promoted to lieutenant colonel. Then Claude was promoted to major.
, his promotion made the senior seminar finally worthy of its name and became a school-level officer seminar.
In addition, more than ten school-level officers who participated in the establishment of the Ranger Division and were not trained in the military academy also received promotion opportunities. Major Skerry was among them and was promoted to lieutenant colonel. This was actually compensation for him. He was forced to leave Canner
The principality withdrew its troops and preserved the effective strength of the first ranger battalion. After returning, he was falsely accused by the noble officers of the frontline headquarters for losing the country and was imprisoned. It was not until Claude wrote a letter asking Lady Maria to pass the message that the prince returned and returned.
Be free.
It's just that the meritorious service of the Ranger Battalion who went deep into the Principality of Karnas for more than a year alone cannot be recognized by the 6th Military Headquarters. After all, that territory has been lost, and nearly two years have passed. The war has ended. Like
Such unconfirmed achievements can only be regarded as bad luck. The only comfort is that the soldiers who died were evaluated as heroic and received double pensions. This is why the soldiers who retreated from the 1st Ranger Battalion did not leave any
What a pity.
This major promotion is a compensation provided by the Stirling royal family to these civilian officers who were wronged and suppressed during the war like the officers and soldiers of the 1st Ranger Battalion. Basically all the officers and soldiers who originally belonged to the 1st Ranger Battalion have been promoted.
Military rank. Like Mike, he was promoted from non-commissioned officer to sergeant major, while the big man Germi was promoted from staff sergeant to non-commissioned officer. In addition, both Murray Ed and Diavid were promoted from second lieutenant to lieutenant. As for Belklin
, more unlucky, he was in the 2nd Ranger Battalion, and because he escaped from the Karnas Prairie, he was not promoted this time.
Today is November 30, year 582 of the Holy Light Calendar, and Claude became a major officer.
This year is a very important and meaningful year for Claude, because Caifuni, who was ten months pregnant, gave birth to a healthy boy to Claude on the night of August 25th.
This different world has its own descendant. But Claude didn't know the good news that day, and on September 2, he was ordered to lead a mobile field group of the newly formed Ranger Division with his classmates from the advanced seminar class.
, marched a long distance to the border of the Karrnath Prairie, received the third batch of war horses compensated by the Principality of Karrnath, and returned to Kalebun Village in mid-November.
After returning to the military academy, Claude received the letter from home that had been on hold for nearly two months. He was overjoyed to learn that he had become a father. He immediately booked a hotel in the village that had just opened six months ago and held a banquet that night.
A banquet was held for his classmates and friends. Although Claude wanted to take leave and go home immediately to see his son, he restrained this idea. The journey was too far, and he could only take a month's leave at most. Hurry up.
It takes more than half a month to go back and forth from Malaysia. It is better to take family leave together next year, so that I can have two months of leave and stay at home for a longer time.
A letter from sister Anna told Claude that Kaifani and the child were safe and there was nothing to worry about. In addition, the child's name had been agreed upon by Claude before he left home, which was Tesore Field, Guherz.
The word means sunshine of hope. In addition, because of the birth of her grandson, the mother's body recovered quickly and she was surrounded by the baby all day long...
There was also a secret message in the letter. Claude took out a bottle of healing potion and applied it on the inside of the envelope. A large paragraph was revealed on it, which was about his younger brother Blovik. This little Booker is also fifteen years old this year.
Later, his sister Anna found an opportunity to test his magic talent. It turned out that his younger brother Blovik also had the qualifications to learn magic, but his magic talent was not that outstanding.
Master Landers said in his diary that an elemental affinity of seven to eight and a mental power of seven to eight represent excellent magical talents. However, the result of the test given by his sister to Little Booker was that the earth element affinity was seven and the mental power was six.
It is a number between excellent and qualified. Considering that Master Landers took the magic talent test at the age of twelve, while his younger brother Little Booker is already fifteen, it is obvious that if Little Booker is also twelve years old
, his magic talent test result will only be between five and six, which is just passing, not outstanding.
Her sister Anna said in the letter that if her brother Little Booker is not interested in magic, then he should pretend to know nothing. Anyway, it will be very difficult to learn magic with his magical talent. Unfortunately, she found that his younger brother Little Booker has magic talent.
Shi was a little excited and let her brother know that she knew magic, and now she was pestering her to learn. But she was worried that her brother was too out-of-touch and would go out to show off after learning magic, which would cause a huge disaster to the family. So her sister Anna felt
I was very embarrassed and asked Claude in the letter what to do and whether he should let little Booker learn magic.
Claude put down the letter and closed his eyes in deep thought, thinking of his dead father, Mr. Morsan, and his mother, who was in poor health. What is certain is that his father, Mr. Morsan, and his mother should actually have extraordinary magical talents, so they were born
The children also have their own talent for learning magic. Unfortunately, the father and mother do not know this, and the eldest brother Albert, who has not been home for several years, also squandered this magic talent.
Claude once saw a document in the cave library left by the mother of the young mage Sheila, to the effect that if both husband and wife are magicians, then most of their first children will have magical talents.
It’s just that it’s hard to say whether this talent is good or bad. If they continue to have children, it’s hard to say whether the second and third children have magic talent. The better the magic talent of the couple, the better the magic talent of the first child.
The better, but the magical talents of subsequent children will gradually weaken.
According to the description of this document, Claude can be sure that both his parents in this body have extraordinary magical talents, so Claude, his sister Anna, and his brother Little Booker all have magical talents. You must know that Gram
Lord and his sister Anna are still only the second and third eldest children. Although their magic talents have not been tested, they are definitely very good. Only the magic talents of younger brother Booker have begun to weaken.
If my eldest brother Albert had also learned magic, maybe his magic talent could be called a genius. But he didn't have the opportunity. At his current age, his magic talent was of no use and he would never be exposed to it again.
Without this hidden magical world, he can only live an ordinary life without doing anything...
In fact, there is no shortage of geniuses in any world, but they do not get the opportunities they can use, or they do not realize their genius at all. In the vast world, they can easily have their edges erased and become countless
One of the mortals.
Claude decided to give his younger brother Little Booker a chance to learn magic. He also replied to his sister Anna in a secret message, telling her that she did not need to teach Little Booker meditation for now. Instead, he would give the magic recipes and the two orchids to him.
Master Des's diary was handed over to him, and Little Booker was asked to first translate the magic recipes and the contents written in the ancient Hertzian language in the two diaries. Give him one year, and if his character becomes calm and good at thinking,
, then it’s not too late to teach him magic.
My younger brother Little Booker's magic talent is not very good, so the key to learning magic lies in his perseverance and perseverance. If he can endure loneliness, then no matter how long it takes, he will one day become a five-ring mage. As for
Going one step further, Claude has never thought about this. It is not a question of persistence, but a matter of requiring massive magic resources and taking great risks to become a sixth-ring mage.
The mother of the young mage Sheila wrote in a handbook that since magicians were driven out of Farea Continent more than 600 years ago, no one has been heard of being promoted to a sixth-ring mage.
Even the knowledge of how to be promoted to a sixth-ring mage is unclear to many magicians. Even on Shigros Island, many new magicians have always believed that a fifth-ring mage is the pinnacle of magicians.
This is also the main reason why Sheila's mother insisted on excavating the magic ruins that had never been discovered on the continent of Nubisia. For this reason, she would rather leave the young Sheila to live alone in the witch forest. Only becoming the fourth
After becoming a five-ring mage, the magician will have further hope to pursue and explore more magical mysteries...
This is the end of the matter about his younger brother, Little Booker. Perhaps Claude can take a closer look at his younger brother, Little Booker, during his next family visit to see if his temperament is suitable for learning magic.
Claude watched as the writing on the letter paper disappeared one by one. After the letter paper became blank again, he placed another blank piece of letter paper on top of this letter paper, changed a bottle of ink, and began to formally write to his family.
write a letter.
First, he told them that he had just returned from a mission, and now he had received the letter. He was happy that he had become a father. He cared about the health of his mother and Caifuni, and wished them a happy new year. At the same time, Claude also told them that he
He has been promoted to major, and now his mother, sister and brother can also enjoy the benefits of national status.
As long as the younger sister is not married and the younger brother is underage, and he is still the surrogate head of the Field family, then his immediate family members who are blood related to him can enjoy national treatment. For example, the family tree farm can be exempted from tax by one-third every year, and new members of the family can enjoy national treatment.
The tax on the street-facing shops in that row of two-story buildings can also be reduced by half. Although the tax-free money is not much, it is also a symbol of status. At least if anything bothers the administrative power departments of Bailu City, no indifferent civil servant will do it.
Just as casually as you would treat civilians.
As for the banquets and dances held by the well-known upper-class people in White Deer City, they can invite their mother, sister and Kaifuni to attend. Of course, this is just talk. As Claude's wife, although Kaifuni
She has national status, but she never likes to attend these banquets and dances. However, Claude hopes that her sister can attend. After all, she is in her twenties. Maybe she can meet an outstanding young man by attending these banquets and dances.
, so as to solve her lifelong issues...
Claude told his family in the letter that he would not be able to take leave at the end of this year and go home. He didn’t know if he could get two months of family leave in the second half of next year to go back and see. But the military academy training will be completed in the first half of next year and he will arrive soon.
As he served in the newly formed Ranger Corps, he wondered if he could spare this holiday. Claude said that he missed his family and his precious son whom he had never met. He just joined the army and was not free. He could only silently wish his family well.
Be happy and healthy, don’t worry about yourself...
After being promoted to major, the salary will be improved. The logistics department of the military academy will send people to Bailu City to handle the procedures for Claude's family to be upgraded to national status. This will be the time to send this checked letter from home directly to Claude's family. 10
At the end of February, the dispatched officer came back and brought Claude another letter home.
This letter home said that I was very happy to receive a letter from Claude. Everyone was worried that there had been no news from Claude for more than two months. The only consolation was that the letter sent home was not stamped and checked.
This person's seal was returned. Now I know that Claude was out on a mission and did not receive the letter, so I am relieved. Especially knowing that Claude was promoted to major made the family happy...
The family letter also contains a secret message from her sister Anna. She said that she will do what Claude said about her brother Booker. She will keep a close eye on Booker and let him learn the ancient Hertzian language well. If he even does this
If he couldn't do it, he would give up on learning magic as soon as possible.
At the same time, the sister was happy in the letter that she, her brother and her mother all had national status, but she was dissatisfied with what Claude said in his letter at home, asking her mother and Caifuni to take her to some banquet and dance to meet some young talents and solve a lifelong problem.
Da Shi was very dissatisfied. She had never thought of getting married. She even said that if possible, she would prefer to be single so that she could devote herself to exploring the mysteries of magic...
Claude could only smile bitterly, and his sister expressed her anger to him in a secret letter. This was because if she dared to write it openly in the letter home, her mother would nag her for three days and two nights, so she could only use this method.
way to express his annoyance at Claude's meddling with dogs and mice. But considering that my sister is only twenty-one years old, there is no need to worry about her life-long events, and it won't be too late in a few years.
On December 30, the military academy held a grand welcome night party. General Michelich attended the party and welcomed the new year with all the officers and soldiers of the military academy. Lieutenant Colonel Skerry quietly told Claude that the training at the military academy was over.
Afterwards, General Michelich will step down as the chief instructor of the military academy and become the first division commander of the Ranger Division...
