"Oh, and the number of applicants for military schools is fifty times more than the number of places admitted? Very good! Very good! ”

The military academy recruitment center, which was originally maliciously slandered, was said to be some kind of cannon fodder reserve, and was so deserted that it had a fight with the birthplace of the supernatural event, suddenly became hot after the wind of public opinion reversed 180 degrees. Rushing to the recruitment site and seeing the lively scene of the crowd of people, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but recall the wonders of the old world of thousands of troops applying for civil servants crossing the single-plank bridge, and when he thought that he had made a big change in the backwater enrollment work with a little means, he felt a little complacent in his heart. As a traverser, you have to have this sense of pride, with a head full of ghost ideas can not bully the soil buns that have not seen the market, that is to the majority of seniors and colleagues to shame it!

With the rapid increase in the number of applicants, the admission standards for new students in the military academy have risen, and the conditions have been relaxed to the point that people can be admitted with a single head.

Not a single illiterate person who cannot read a large number of words will be rejected, and this is a college of higher education, not an adult night literacy class with a blackboard stall on the street. Don't be tall and weight-qualified, too tall, too short, too fat, too thin to kick out, you ask why? The crooked melon and cracked jujube standing in the queue of students is not beautiful, dear! If you are not identified, you will be dismissed, and who knows if you are a spy or not?

This kind of repeated screening of eggs and bones not only did not discourage the enthusiasm of many applicants, but attracted more people to try their luck.

It can only be said that human beings have a strong rebellious mentality, and no matter how good the quality of the things that are almost given away for free, the people who get them will not cherish them, but feel that there must be hidden dangers in them to be so cheap. On the other hand, those selection conditions with extremely strict entry requirements are considered quite reliable by everyone, and they squeeze into it with a sharp head. The core idea of this paradoxical theory is that if the future benefits are not great and the benefits are considerable, then why do many people come to you for grabbing?

"Welcome to join us in the ranks of our glorious Restoration Army, you are cadets today, you will become a soldier or a battlefield commander one day in the future, you are the core force that makes up this powerful army, and the hope of the future is pinned on you...... Goblins are the mortal enemies of our humanity, and recovering the main continent and rebuilding the Bright Dynasty is a difficult and dangerous mission that we cannot shirk unless we are willing to live as slaves of goblins. In this war, some of you will die, some will betray, some will retreat, and some will lose your way in the advance, but please remember the oath of today's enrollment, victory and honor will belong to the great and glorious Restoration Army! ”

At the opening ceremony of the Military Academy, Luo Zhengdao made a rare high-profile speech, expounding his views and plans for the future, and at the same time sending himself to the cusp. Until then, he had done a lot of things and rarely made such a distinct statement, because keeping a low profile would help reduce the hostility of competitors such as Gaud Needham, while also preventing the goblins from attacking without hesitation. Now the situation has completely changed, with the infrastructure of Wake Reef on the right track, the privateer fleet has made up four ironclad ships, and there is no need to worry about these external factors, he simply exaggerates Haikou, anyway, he doesn't need money to talk big, and he doesn't pay taxes if he brags, so what's the big deal if he says two beautiful words?

After an impassioned speech, not to mention how excited the cadets were, Luo Zhengdao himself looked calm as usual, and he walked off the rostrum slowly. Anyone can do this job if they are ruthless in public, and how to fulfill their promises is another matter

"Message? What is the news that deserves your excitement like this? Will! ”

It was difficult to hide the fluctuations in his heart, Luo Zhengdao directly revealed the mystery and said:

"It's the proof of the hegemon!"

In the New World, if anyone says they haven't heard the story of the overlord's testimony, they don't deserve to say that they are a sailor. People who make a living from the sea have told stories from generation to generation to newcomers, not to mention the pirates who ran away from the boats and ate their meals, and most of the children who live in the coastal area have heard this story. Most people have a negative attitude towards such legends, and only the professionals and nobles who hold the knowledge inheritance know best that the legend is indeed a legend, but it does not mean that it was made up out of thin air, but it has only been processed intentionally or unintentionally in the long and tortuous process of circulation.

After the initial suspicions, Vina Dubov calmed down and asked:

"Will, which piece of overlord is it?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Of course, it's the sea of stars, and my power can't extend farther."

Upon hearing this, the half-elf beauty sighed faintly and said:

"Well, go on, the more detailed the better, I wonder if this is a rumor or a conspiracy."

When it comes to the mysterious Cheng dù being able to fight with the Dragon Ball that fulfills a wish in the old world comics, and the proof of the Seven Seas Overlord in the new world, this legendary rendering seems to have far more elements than reality, and it rarely appeared in Luo Zhengdao's thinking in the past. You know,Before the crossing he was the kind of person who never bought a lottery ticket,Calculated the probability of success between input and output,A person with enough sense will not pin his hopes on a small probability event,So in the old world there is a very sarcastic slap in the face,Called "Lottery is essentially an IQ tax",Just imagine how can people like him like to take a senseless risk of luck?

The biggest meaning of the bottom limit is to break through, just as the lower limit is used to refresh, Luo Zhengdao has been cursed by the Aragami for a long time, and he has to change his concept when he can't see the hope of solving it, and he begins to hope for those things that are originally ethereal.

After some careful consideration, Luo Zhengdao felt that the opportunity to find the proof of the overlord was worth trying, after all, he was well aware of the power of the Aragami curse, and if these gods in the current new world came to prevent the disaster, their appearance would not be much stronger than the end of the demon card master who had already been destroyed. In a certain way, Luo Zhengdao's predicament is similar to that of those terminally ill, knowing that his time is running out and he can't find a way out. If a person is forced to this job, he must be sick and rushed to the doctor, no matter how slim the method is, it is worth trying, it is not difficult to choose between the bleak future of certain death and the first-line turnaround, it is better to grasp the life-saving straw than to sit and wait for death!

In the days before, Luo Zhengdao had never taken active action, and was only immersed in collecting intelligence, which was due to the fact that the basic security issues had not yet been resolved, and he had no time to distract himself from thinking about other things.

If it is said that under the premise that you have strict worries about your own family, you rashly run to find a mysterious treasure that has no clue at all, so that it is not brain-dead, what kind of behavior can be considered brain-dead in the sky? Recently, the operation of Wake Reef is on track, and there is no need for Luo Zhengdao to do everything himself, and the senate-consul system he established can also well avoid internal chaos, and leaving in a short period of time is no longer an obstacle.

Before leaving, he called the consul who was elected this year, Faul Chopin, to talk, and Luo Zhengdao admonished him in a cautious tone:

"Fowl, you have to be cautious in dealing with emergencies, no matter what goes wrong, don't send a fleet to take the initiative, wait for me to come back."

I didn't approve of the lord leaving Wake Reef because of that kind of rumor-like clue, but as a retainer, his duty was to serve the lord's family, and seeing Luo Zhengdao's resolute attitude, the preparation could not be said to be insufficient, Faure Chopin had to bow down and say:

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do my best to ensure that there are no problems, and I hope you can come back soon."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao patted the old retainer on the shoulder, then turned around and walked to the springboard, he stepped on the deck and shouted:

"Alright, set sail!"

The latest No. 4 ship of the "Gold" class ironclad ship, the Lanjin, was launched and began outfitting, and it was still a few months before it was completed. Accompanied by the Yaling Overseers Salyl Byrne and Vina Dubrev, as well as Drake King and other henchmen, the nature of this treasure hunt is different from that of combat operations, the combat effectiveness of the ironclad ship is not useful, and the Yangwei, which has a moderate tonnage and fast speed, is more suitable. As a result, the sail battleship, which had lost its status as the capital ship, was requisitioned by Luo Zhengdao and its captain Zora, and the Yangwei set off together with four accompanying cruisers to embark on an adventurous voyage to find the evidence of the Star Sea Dominant.

The treasure hunt will never be separated from the treasure map, just as cooking cannot be done without salt, the chart in Luo Zhengdao's hand has been poorly kept due to its age, and there are a large number of traces of mildew and defacement, the most stringent is the hole that a few rats gnawed out, fortunately, it can roughly see the meaning, according to the map, it is better than having no clue.

"Will, are you sure it's here?"

The half-elf beauty had been pitted by the treasure map more than once, and she stared at the chart suspiciously, her sharp gaze as if she wanted to poke it out. Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Rumors say it's around here, and the analysis from the treasure map is also the most likely here, and there is nothing big about it lately, so it's okay to try your luck!"

The New World developed banking and vault business, and the furthest in this regard was the Elven Federation, whose financial industry was developed to a level where it was possible to complete the exchange of deposits and exchanges, even in overseas colonies, with non-negotiable bearer bank bills. Despite such convenient conditions, pirates would never go to a certain bank to book a safe to store their loot, and those famous pirate kings were all unruly and strong, expecting them to follow the ordinary path like ordinary people, and the possibility was that some young people couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and simply went out and stood in the courtyard at a forty-five degree angle to look up at the starry sky, hoping that the meteor would appear and make a wish.
