Chapter 35 - The Narrow Gate of Mankind 06
"I'm just a mercenary, sergeant? www.biquge.info I ask you, General, who saved Yuru when those dogs you had betrayed you? Let me ask you again, who stopped the question after you sent your waste men to kill several members of the Hunters' Division? Who protected civilians under several VTOLs and helicopter gunships? Or me. IMHO, the general ... What the hell do you have to stay here and spew manure all over your mouth?!! get the old lady out there and plant sweet potatoes!!"
Then, with a malicious face, the girl threw her hat in the general's face and raised her middle finger at him.
"You!!"
Unable to stand the girl's abuse any longer, Ennis stood up with a hammer on the table, glared angrily at the girl, and old York immediately grabbed Dior by the back of the collar and lifted her out of the conference room, waving to the people in the room. After pulling open the door of the conference room and dragging Dior out, he added before closing the door:
"That's what Lao Tzu thinks, you fat pig. ”
Poor general, perhaps after this meeting, he will embark on a journey to find his life. Dior shook off Old York's hand and strode towards the dock of "Carlibar", and Old York smiled and followed.
"Young man, well done, Lao Tzu has long been unhappy with that fat pig, do you think so too?"
"I'm not a guy who is good at being inferior to people," Dior snorted coldly, "I also hate this kind of place, and I'll go back to my hometown to get married after this mission." ”
"Hawkers, regarding the task of escorting Yuru, the situation has changed again," Old York took out a pack of cigarettes, "The Ming Empire sent someone, and Sixteen Nights doesn't seem to want to do it, after this incident, probably the mercenary department will still be disbanded." I don't think people like you would want to stay in this kind of place, so I'll help you and Sixteen Nights write a letter of introduction, how about going to work with the First Empire in the future? This is also the last time Yuru will command the fleet as the captain of the "Carlibar", and then the Hunter Department will probably become a more formal organization. However, I won't help you pay the liquidated damages. ”
"Alright, let's go to Old Man Connor for liquidated damages. ”
Dior, who was worried about how to go to Mingguo to find a place to find something about Penglai, heard Old York say this, and hurriedly agreed.
"What are those two commoners? They don't look like Eskimos," asked Old York, lighting a cigarette, "that girl looks so much like Sixteen Nights, can't she be her illegitimate daughter?"
"You've guessed half right, anyway, that little girl is now the daughter of Sixteen Nights. ”
Dio also took out her pipe, but she realized that her tobacco was still left in the camp at the North Pole, and she couldn't help but give up.
"Does she have official identification? It's a bit of a hassle. ”
"Of course not, wouldn't it be nice to say that she was the illegitimate daughter of Sixteen Nights?" Dior rolled his eyes, "She'll admit it herself anyway, what's wrong, I don't believe that you old man didn't have any means to settle us 'veterans'." ”
Dio was right, the elder York had prepared the information as early as when he heard about Dior's contact.
Back at the dock, Sixteen Nights and Dio were summoned with the members of the Mercenary Department and informed them of the disbandment of the Mercenary Department. Of course, the mercenaries were more concerned about the child that the rumored Lily Girl was holding, so for a while, the mercenaries who could still walk around the ship spread the news of the "illegitimate daughter of the Sixteenth Night Moon".
Except for Sixteen Nights and Dior, the others had nothing to do, and a large number of mercenaries gathered in the bar, asking Dior to queue for half a day to buy a tobacco. Later, under the arrangement of Old York, Dior and Sixteen Nights took a photo on Novaya Zemlya, and they could get their passports in a few days, and then the mission would officially begin.
As expected, Saki Saki's identity was designated as "Sixteen Nights' illegitimate daughter" by Old York, and Sixteen Nights, who was busy looking for married people on the ship to learn how to take care of their daughter, had not heard of it yet. She still thinks that the illegitimate daughter everyone is just teasing, right? Dio was smoking a cigarette comfortably, but was met with the white eyes and grimace of Sakuya.
"Don't smoke next to my house Sakiya, you bad girl. Sixteen Nights turned his head and scolded Dior.
"You're a lot thicker than I thought, and the next time I see you touching a bottle, I'll feed Saki to drink whiskey. The corners of Dior's mouth twitched.
"After all, shouldn't you be the father of this child?
"It's your next 'mission', you can complete it yourself, but I'm so busy that I don't have that much time to play family games with you. ”
At some point, the two began to quarrel, and soon, the news of the Lily Girl and Dior's 'illegitimate daughter' spread from the mouth of Sixteen Nights and Moon that the story spread throughout the various departments of "Carlibar" and the hunters. Dio was eager to cram Sixteen Nights into the missile launcher in the base, and she was sure that it was just a coincidence that Misaki had the name.
It's hard to imagine what the daughter of Sixteen Nights will be like when this guy teaches her, maybe in two years she will be robbing passers-by with an RPG.
However, if you decide to settle in the Ming Empire, you will not have this doubt, and civilians in the Ming Empire, who have strict weapons control, are not allowed to possess weapons.
Jacqueline, Dr. Craigwen's replacement, was released after some cross-examination. Dio asks her again about the contact with Penglai Island, this double has all the knowledge and memories of Dr. Craigwen, as well as her own memories, and it is difficult to say who she really is. In the end, Dio got the news that she had already known.
The red-haired travelers of the Ming Empire, the origin of the red-haired travelers is unknown, and at some point, they began to travel around the world, and the only thing they had in common was that they all had red hair. They may be anywhere in the world, like omnipresent spies, but they are not an intelligence organization and do not know why.
Jacqueline is convinced that Craigwen had seen the Red-Haired Traveler on Penglai Island, and that the Doctor had been in contact with them, and knew that the Red-Haired Travelers had regular contact with Penglai Island, and that the Red-Haired Travelers were from some race on Penglai Island, and that the Redheads were only 'disguised'.
After knowing that Jacqueline only had this information, Dior didn't care about her. As for whether Jacqueline wanted to follow her or do something else, it was none of her business.
Dior, who had nothing to do, had nothing special to do except practice marksmanship every day, there were no books to read in the dockyard, a few days of inaction passed, and his passport and temporary residence permit were also done. On this day, Sixteen Nights and Dio were summoned together, and she remembered what Old York said, 'the people sent by the Ming Empire'.
"First time meeting, Liao Xueqing, as you can see, a native of Dali in the Ming Kingdom. ”
A beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes, she looks as big as Sixteen Nights and Moon, shorter than Sixteen Nights, holding a ceremonial sword and wearing Hanfu. Honestly, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the military, Dio thought to her and nodded.
"Dio Connor. ”
"Sixteen Nights, this is my daughter, Sakiya," Sixteen Nights happily hugged Sakiya, took her hand and raised it, "Come, Akiya, call Auntie." ”
“......”
Dio clearly saw that the corners of Liao Xueqing's mouth twitched. It's really easy to understand when I'm angry, but only Dior thinks so.
"This operation is in charge of Sergeant Dio Connor, Company Commander Liao, although I know that you are a member of the Shenji Battalion, but your mission is only to escort and lead the way," Old York reminded, "Please take these little guys to meet Zhu Yuanfang's old immortal in the future... Oh no, Emperor Ming. ”
Old York, who had said that he had leaked his mouth, immediately changed his words. This surprised Dior a little, it sounded like old York and the emperor of the Ming Empire knew each other.
"Yes, sir," Liao Xueqing bowed slightly, completely different from the etiquette in the army, "However, with all due respect, there is no need for bodyguards to escort in the Ming Empire, and we have a special reception plan for this." ”
"It's not a bodyguard, Company Commander Liao," Old York explained, "In the future, the mercenary department of the Hunter Department will be disbanded, and the two of them, one is preparing to settle in the Ming Empire, and the other is just a trip after retiring from the Ming Empire." ”
"Retired?"
The dark-haired girl was taken aback and glanced at Dio and Sixteen Nights' youthful appearances.
"I forgot to mention, Sergeant Sixteen Nights, although he is only 16 years old this year, he has grown up on the battlefield at the age of 12, and this year is exactly four years," Old York coughed, and then glanced at Dio, who grinned and took out his pipe and lit it, "Sergeant Dio Connor, 22 years old, was forced to retire due to the disbandment of the mercenary department, to be honest, they are all extremely good subordinates, if they hadn't made a decision, I would have left them behind." ”
Maybe it was to show off, Old York deliberately didn't have the time to say it when Dior served, but Dior seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in Liao Xueqing's heart, maybe he was disappointed in the guys who retired from the battlefield like them, the girl held on to the wall and didn't say a word, and Old York was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
"See, you don't look like a soldier at all, and other people's dreams are shattered. Dior said with a laugh.
"You're also thicker than I thought. Sixteen Nights glared at her.
“... Sorry, sir, a bit of a gaffe. Please also give us more advice (Chinese). ”
The brunette girl quickly recovered and held out her hand to Dior.
Dior smiled and shook her hand.
