Section 119 Floating Fortress 3
After about ten seconds, or ten minutes, the sorceress finally broke free from Lu Wu's arms. She covered her face with one hand www.biquge.info as if she was still suffering from dizziness. But at least, she stood on her feet.
"Sorry, it seems that I have a little low blood sugar because I didn't eat breakfast. Diemon gave a poor explanation. "Then, if Your Excellency Lu Wu wants to go over there, can you take me with you?"
"Ah, that, you're not ......"
"Oh, I happen to have something to do and want to go to Nice City. There are only two people on my side, so it shouldn't be a burden for your team, right?"
This kind of lie can't even be fooled by a fool, right? Lu Wu felt the corners of his mouth twitch. However, precisely because it was an obvious lie, he did not dare to refuse. What are the consequences of refusal? if you really off a high-level warlock...... Although they are from the same camp, Lu Wu remembers it very clearly, and he didn't hesitate at all when he was bald and wanted to kill.
"Well, then, just go and see your Ombudsman, and I'll go back and pack up a bit, and meet at the stop. β
Lu Wuwen and his party left, while Diemeng walked to the side and leaned against a wall. Thankfully, the city is barely occupied, even in broad daylight. So for the time being, there are no suspicious eyes, and no one comes close to investigate the truth.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you!" the attendant caught up from behind, and at this time, she was sure of what had really happened to Diemeng.
"Eyes...... I can't see with my eyes!" said Butterfly Dream softly. "How's my eyes?"
She removed her hand, and now the female attendant could notice the mistress's eyes. Two strands of bright red seeped through her closed eyelids, as if their sockets had cracked.
"Your Highness, your eyes ...... It bleeds. This time, even the entourage panicked, not knowing what was going on.
"Did it bleed?" Butterfly said softly. She opened her eyes, and they were blood-red and covered with red threads. "Ah...... Fortunately, the eyesight is still ......"
"Your Highness, you were ...... just now"
"What a fool I am...... It had occurred to me just now that I wanted to see the fate of this man......" she moaned softly. "Someone must have guarded him. β
"High Warlock, but who has the power to do you harm?"
"It's not that simple in terms of magic......," Butterfly Moaned for a moment, "It's not about power, it's not even a contest of power...... In this regard, the first mover has an absolute advantage. It feels unfair, but it's actually reasonable, otherwise a high-level warlock can kill anyone at will...... Of course, the one who can protect him is at least the warlock of the second law. There is another possibility, his fate does not exist...... so much so that it is impossible to observe ......"
"Why do you want to follow him?" the attendant ignored the last half of the mistress's words, for it was evident that the mistress did not believe it either.
"Hah...... ......The fake female scholar suddenly burst out laughing, and there was no pain or anger in the laughter, but on the contrary, it was full of joy. "I thought I might have found my goal...... I can't say for sure yet, but it's worth taking a closer look. Maybe fate is so strange! It will always surprise you when you are completely unprepared. β
"Maybe fate is so strange......" Ivan muttered softly. "It will surprise you when you are completely unprepared. β
Emerging from the hovertrain stop is a familiar figure. Yes, Ivan thought that he would never see this figure again in his life. At first, he told a lot of lies to the man without blinking - maybe most of them were not lies, but the distorted truth was actually more dangerous than a lie.
Ivan, of course, did not feel any guilt about this. Because it's one thing for you to say something, and it's another thing for people to listen to you or not, and how to make a judgment. In fact, it's not so much that Ivan is lying, it's better that he's following the other side's intentions. In this case, if there is a division of responsibility, Ivan is by no means the main person in charge.
But in any case, embarrassment is still a bit inevitable when you see this person.
"Aki...... Lieutenant Colonel?"
It was none other than Aqi who showed up at the stop. The former Supreme Commander of Gasher (albeit temporarily), then, as everyone knows, was beaten by wishful thinking in the battle against Kechagoat, using completely wrong tactics. If it weren't for Lu Wu's rescue, she and her army would have been wiped out. When she returned to Gashe, as in all such cases, as in all such cases, she was reprimanded as the Supreme Commander, and was called to the rear. Everyone no longer cares about Aqi's next fate, because no matter how many people want to protect her, according to convention, after such a defeat, her ability will definitely be questioned by many people. And as a soldier, once you are deemed to be unqualified in terms of ability, there is no possibility of a comeback.
Even an old experience like Ivan never expected that Ah Qi would change his identity and come to Gasha City again.
Of course, the current Aki is not the Aki of the past. The flamboyant, arrogant, confident, or ambitious things that used to be completely invisible to her at this time. She looked depressed, and there seemed to be an indescribable self-deprecation on her face. Not only that, but the clothes on her body are completely different.
If you pay a little attention, you can see that what Aqi is wearing is not the uniform of the regular army. Her hat, chest, arms and shoulders and other places have completely lost the symbol of her rank of "lieutenant colonel". It's not that she's been demoted - because even if she does, these things are just replaced, let's say from lieutenant colonel to major or captain or something - but they disappear completely. Unless Aqi is jerked to the end, this will not happen.
But if she gets to the end, then how could she come to be a supervisor under Lu Wu? You must know that although the inspector of a local army corps can be said to be a humble position, he is also an officer. It is obviously inappropriate to have an ordinary soldier who does not even have a position in it. In addition, as a nobleman and a member of the Evening Star family, unless Ah Qi makes that principled and unforgivable mistake, she will never fall to this point - even if it really comes to this point, it is estimated that the Evening Star family will mobilize its influence in all aspects and directly let her retire from the army.
Lu Wu couldn't believe it at first. But whether he believed it or not, it was only Aqi who came out of the dock anyway. In other words, either the news of the so-called Ombudsman's arrival today is fake, or the person in front of him is the one in front of him.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, report to you!" Archie gritted her teeth and finally said this. "I'm your new ...... Ombudsman ......"
She remembered the man in front of her. Well, the first time the two sides met, Aqi didn't really care about him. That's right, she personally ran to the other party's camp to arrest people at that time, but it was not so much that she valued Lu Wu, but that she valued her authority. She didn't allow such a mere squadron leader to refuse her orders.
Then, by chance, when she recruited a team to go deep into the area controlled by Kecha Goat, Lu Wu also joined the team. Although everyone didn't say it on the surface, everyone knew that Ah Qi was the commander, the two warlocks were the main force, and the rest of the people, except for the driver's professional skills, were all cannon fodder for consumption. Moreover, even among the cannon fodder, Lu Wu is also an inconspicuous one.
Although it was somewhat unexpected, both warlocks were killed, but the scheduled cannon fodder all came back alive. But anyway, the whole thing turned out to be good. Because of this credit, Aqi embarked on her most glorious moment, so that she finally had a stage to show her ambitions. Lu Wu also got his reward - it was a great joy for all.
However, the world is unforgiving, and time has changed. Now the former superior has become a subordinate. And the subordinates who used to seem insignificant and needed to use themselves as cannon fodder to get a few exoskeleton armors have now become bosses. The taste of it is not that the parties concerned estimate that it is difficult to imagine.
"Aqi?" Lu Wu finally came back to his senses, and now there was nothing wrong with him, this was indeed his new supervisor. It was unexpected, but it was true. "You ......" He also noticed the other man's clothes.
"I've been stripped from the regular army and transferred to the Banshee Gate local army sequence. Aqi said. An indescribable sense of humiliation rose from her originally proud heart, and she was about to suffocate. However, she knew she had to face it all. "Your Excellency, I will be your Ombudsman from now on. β
This accident made none of the words that Lu Wu had prepared be able to say. It took a while for him to answer.
"Welcome, Aki...... Pavilion...... Lady. Let me introduce you to this ...... Ivan, my staff officer. He made a pointless introduction before he realized he shouldn't have said that. "This is the red...... Since everyone knows each other, I won't go into details. In short, welcome to join ...... We'll go back to the city and get you some accommodation. β
If on Earth, and especially in China, the welcome ceremony reported by the newcomers would certainly include a feast as sumptuous as possible. But unfortunately, the world doesn't pay attention to this. Here in Kasha City, everyone, including Lu Wu, eats the kind of compressed canned food that is terrible in taste despite its high nutritional value. Throwing a party or something out of this stuff is like a joke. Therefore, Lu Wu can only follow the local customs and simplify the welcome ceremony.
Of course, after meeting the new Ombudsman, it turned out that a banquet or something didn't seem to be necessary. If you really want to do that, it will probably only make each other more embarrassed. The feeling of watching a table full of delicious food and not being able to eat it only gets worse.
Aki's carry-on luggage is very limited. But then again, theoretically speaking, since she is Lu Wu's supervisor, then Lu Wu should be responsible for everything in her diet and daily life.
A car was already waiting on the side. Ah Qi noticed that although the car was empty, only Lu Wu was on the bus, and Hongyi and Ivan obviously did not plan to leave the stop.
"Your Excellency, Commander...... They ......"
"Just call me Lu Wu. Lu Wu said. After all, he is not a local, and he is not a soldier, and when he is called "Your Excellency", he only feels embarrassed, "They are here waiting for us to come back." β
"Come back?"
"Well, I'm going to go to Nice City, and even the train has been booked with the public trade network. Lu Wu said. "As an ombudsman, you're going with us. However, if you are too tired, you can stay here. β
"However, you are the commander of Gasha City, what if you are not there, and Kaicha Goat attacks this side?"
"Kecha Goyat won't attack. Lu Wu replied casually. The next moment, Ah Qi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to shout something, but in the end she calmed down and swallowed all the words back into her mouth. Now, she is no longer a commander. Or maybe she's proven that her judgment isn't good. She can only obey the judgment and arrangement of others now.
ββ¦β¦ Is this my first mission?" asked Aqi for a long time.
"Ah, sort of. Lu Wu replied casually. It couldn't have been easier to arrange accommodation or something, and there are many empty buildings in the city of Gasher nowadays. Therefore, Lu Wu's thoughts turned to another thing in a blink of an eyeβthat is, Butterfly Dream.
What the hell is Diemon doing here? I guess there is some kind of special purpose. Why is she following me?
I'm going to go to my mother-in-law's house tomorrow, and I guess I won't be able to update it in the next three days
I apologize first
