Chapter 3: Lieutenant Colonel Drake
Beihai, the 143rd Division of the Navy, in front of a majestic gate made of steel, Roy carried a black knife on his back, a package in his left hand, and a piece of white paper in his right hand, with a somewhat complicated expression. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, Captain Kate summoned him to the captain's room, and the gift to him was the blank piece of paper he now held in his handβa letter of recommendation to his nephew.
At that time, Kate said to Roy with a proud face: "My nephew is a lieutenant colonel, you go to him with my letter of recommendation, and with your skills, you will definitely become a good naval soldier!"
Roy originally planned to refuse, after all, once his identity was revealed, there was no way to escape in the navy, but when he thought that his combat skills urgently needed to be honed, and the navy was definitely the best choice, Roy gritted his teeth and took it.
Now, Roy is at the 143rd Division that Captain Kate is talking about.
After a moment's hesitation, Roy finally approached the Navy soldier standing in front of the porter, and he squeezed out a hint of an embarrassed smile and asked:
"Is Lieutenant Colonel Drake at this base?"
"Are you?" the soldier asked, turning his head to look at Roy.
Roy replied, "It was the lieutenant colonel's uncle who asked me to come to him." β
"Are you a relative of Lieutenant Colonel Drake?" the soldier asked curiously.
"Uh... Sort of!" Roy reluctantly admitted, for he didn't know how long he would have to be questioned if he denied it.
"Then come with me!"
When the soldier heard Roy's affirmative reply, he replaced another guard in the gatehouse and led Roy into the base through the small door next to the base.
After winding through countless paths, filled with naval soldiers, Roy realized that the naval base was heavily guarded, and it was not as vulnerable as it was in the anime in his previous life. Of course, maybe those protagonists are too powerful, so that they can enter and exit the base as if they were in a no-man's land.
Before Roy could sigh further, the soldier leading the way in front of him stopped and said, "It's here, this is where the lieutenant colonel works." β
Roy couldn't help but follow the soldier's finger and look ahead, only to see that there was only a simple room in front of him, the room was simply furnished, and the only decoration was a naval flag on the innermost wall.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you have relatives coming to you!"
The soldier knocked on the door and spoke respectfully.
A somewhat surprised male voice suddenly came from the room: "Is it Uncle Kate? Please come in, we haven't seen each other for a year......!"
But when he saw someone coming, Lieutenant Colonel Drake's voice suddenly choked back into his mouth, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed, realizing that he had let people take advantage.
And the expression on Roy's face was also a little exciting, because he found that the Drake in front of him was actually the fallen Navy in the anime in his previous life, X-Drake, and the X-shaped scar on his chin was clearly visible.
After a while, Roy first came to his senses, he was afraid that Drake would ask about impersonating a relative, so he hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand.
And Drake also took the letter, hiding the embarrassment on his face, and read it word for word.
As he read, Drake's expression became more and more serious, and Roy actually saw the majesty on the face of this young man in his twenties.

Drake put the letter on the table and said in a serious tone, "This letter is indeed written by my uncle himself, but he asked me to appoint you directly as an officer, but I could not agree. β
Speaking of this, he touched his chin and said, "Uncle said that you are very strong, I believe this, but the rules are the rules, if you want to join the navy, you must take the navy assessment!"
Roy couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he really didn't understand why such a person who insisted on his heart was forced to defect from the navy.
After pondering for a while, Roy asked, "Then when will the naval assessment start?"
Hearing Roy's words without hesitation, Drake showed an appreciative expression on his face and said, "This afternoon is the latest Navy enlistment assessment, and if you get the first place in the assessment this time, there will be a special reward!"
"Oh, then I must attend!" Roy said without thinking.
"Hahaha! good!" Drake laughed, stretched out his finger and pointed at the soldier who led Roy's way, and said, "You go and sign up for Roy, and you say that I recommended it!"
"Lieutenant Colonel!" the soldier looked at Roy with a hesitant expression, as if he had something to say, but finally sighed, turned around and left with Roy.
And after they left, Drake's face showed a childish smile, "Taking advantage of me, I have to make it a little more difficult for you, but ...... If what my uncle said is true, you should be able to easily get selected!"
β¦β¦
Roy looked at the soldiers in front of him who were constantly wailing and sighing, but after all, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "Uh... Excuse me, what's wrong?"
The soldier had a look of pity on his face and replied, "This naval assessment is different!"
"You mean that special reward?"
Roy interjected.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Roy to be so self-aware, and he actually coveted the reward of the first place, his face suddenly turned a little cold, and said: "This special reward is certainly rich, if you can get the first place, you will be directly awarded the rank of second lieutenant, but the personnel who participated in the assessment this time are also extremely strong, if you can get the first place, then the second lieutenant rank is absolutely deserved." β
Speaking of this, he glanced at Roy disdainfully, and then said: "Most of the people who participated in the assessment this time are the children of naval officers, and I heard that some people have learned the legendary six styles!"
Hearing this, Roy's eyes lit up, the six styles were definitely a must-learn skill for him on this trip to the navy, and if the six styles were absolutely powerful if they cooperated with the domineering, he couldn't wait to fight that person.
"Here we are!" the soldier said, pointing to a table in front of them, and said nonchalantly.
A veteran with whitened sideburns behind the desk glanced at Roy and the others, "Sign up?"
"No, Lieutenant Colonel Drake asked me to sign him up! he!one!sure!very!strong!," the soldier said with some arrogance.
"Oh?" the veteran was interested, and couldn't help but look at Roy twice, and also noticed the huge black cross knife behind Roy.
The veteran casually pulled out a registration form: "Swordsman, good! β
Roy's outstretched hand suddenly froze in the air, and his face stiffened as he found himself with no money.
50 Bailey is definitely not expensive, it is more of a symbolic meaning, after all, a newspaper in the pirate world costs 100 Bailey, but Roy is penniless at the moment.
The two soldiers also seemed to see Roy's predicament, and their expressions were suddenly extremely exciting.
The guard wanted to be sarcastic, but the next moment his words were held back in his mouth.
Because at this time, Roy had already opened the package in his hand, with a harmless smile on his face, and said:
"Is it okay for me to pay with this?"
"Goo Dong" "Goo Dong"
Two swallowing voices rang out at the same time, as they saw that the item in the package turned out to be a human head.
And the two soldiers who knew the bounty pirates by heart had already recognized the human head:
Bounty of 9 million - Jack the Ripper!
