Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Pupil of Ruby

"Name." The clerk next to the horse did not lift his head, and the ballpoint pen in his hand drew quickly on the paper.

"Sos Dakota."

"Is this your carriage?" The clerk looked up at this point, "Behind the car in front." Don't overdo it, and don't fall behind. ”

With that, the clerk raised his hand and pasted the sticker with the words written on it to the side of Soth's carriage.

Soth was stunned, and glanced up at the side gang to see that it was his name written on it, and then he calmed down.

"Next!"

Clough and Wolff, one leading the horse and the other holding the hand of the horse-leader, stopped between the two rejections.

"Name."

"Clough-Lawrence."

"And the young lady over there."

"Wolf ......"

"Huh?" The clerk felt a little strange. "Wolf is the name, isn't it? What about the last name? ”

"......," Wolf was silent. It's not that she doesn't have a surname, it's that she doesn't want to say it, and she can't make up a single one that she can pronounce smoothly in a short period of time.

Red eyes.

It looks like an aristocratic appearance. Delicate skin that a cheap burqa can't hide. These were the first impressions left by the legendary figure to the eyewitnesses. And now these descriptions seemed to be specially designed for the girl in front of him, and they shocked his consciousness.

"Are you...... A bachelor with the name 'Ruby Pupil'? The clerk patted his head. No wonder when I first saw this little girl, I felt that something was wrong. When I was working as a transcriptionist in Garcia's royal library, I saw the Ruby Pupil come to the imperial capital to discuss important matters with the people of the Magic Association.

Although it is only a one-sided relationship, the clerk has fully understood. This is one of the famous university scholars, and you can't go wrong.

"What a faux pas, Ruby Pupil...... Miss. Regardless of whether the girl in front of her wanted to admit it or not, the clerk had already determined that she was the "Ruby Pupil" who was well-known in both the circles of Elta magicians and intellectuals.

"I'm not ......" Wolf didn't want to reveal his identity, at least not now. Who are you talking about? ……”

The more Wolf denied it, the more sincere the clerk's eyes became. The government of the New Elta Empire wanted to recruit a few well-known scholars from the old empire to serve as advisors and actual positions, but most of them were unable to find anyone.

"Ruby Pupil" is naturally also the key person in this list. The war destroyed not only Elta's rotten political situation, the corpse of the bureaucracy, the bloated and layered aristocracy, and the useless army of things, but also the dense network of intelligence throughout the country, hidden between human relationships, not information on paper and electronic files.

The Scholars who could advise the lord and use their wisdom to help the incapable of magic out of danger suddenly disappeared in Elta's year-long war.

"Elta's new government intends to invite you to an important position, I wonder if you are interested, Miss Ruby Pupil, if you are interested......"

The clerk, who knew the details of the government, suddenly became agitated, forgetting about the fact that he tore off the sticker with the words "Clough-Lawrence" written on it in his hand and pasted it on the carriage.

However, his excited gaze soon broke off contact with Wolfe, who bowed his head and was silent.

"Soldier, this is my wife. Although we have not yet exercised a real relationship under the light of the double moon, please do not pester her too much. ”

Clough probably knew that "Ruby Pupil" was not only a compliment to Wolfe's unique appearance, but also seemed to be some kind of name that was famous all over the world.

Why didn't she want to tell herself? What the hell is she hiding? No, none of that matters. Clough, who doesn't know much martial arts, carries a two-handed sword from the bottom of his heart, and solves these problems that are more annoying than his demons one by one.

Yes, none of this matters, only Wolf and his own mind are the most important. What was she before, who was she, and are these questions important? It was enough for herself and her to understand each other's wishes.

Clough, reach out! His heart called out to himself. Twenty years have passed in a mess of my life, and there is no reason to let the slightest happiness slip away from my fingers, let alone directly transfer it to others!

"Ah......h I'm sorry, Miss Wolff...... We may have misidentified the wrong person. And grams...... Mr. Clough, I'm sorry for the trouble. Keep up with the carriage before you, and don't get ahead of you and don't lag behind......"

A few minutes later, the mountain road that crosses Mount Vitagore.

Wolf kept his head down and remained silent for the rest of the few minutes. Clough only stared at her, and it took a long time to stroke Wolfe's hooded hair.

"He's not mistaken, is he? The soldier who was in charge of registering his name. ”

Wolf shook his head slightly.

"Then what you said before, the boast of being able to support yourself with knowledge, shouldn't you be talking big?"

Wolf paused, then shook his head slightly.

"I just said you're my wife, are you angry?"

Clough could see Wolfe's face under the hood quickly turn crimson, only to see her awkwardly shake her head.

"Would you like to be my wife, then?" Clough stepped in, using the tips of his fingers that ran between Wolfe's fingers and began to play with the delicate back of his hand.

Wolfe's face was completely red, redder than the apples she had picked from the trees in the orchard near Garcia. Clough didn't get a reply from Wolf this time, but just watched her head go even lower, so low that she couldn't see her face.

But he already knew it, and his Wolf answered the question in his own way.

And in the jeep more than 100 meters in front of them, the clerk just now had a serious expression, and next to him sat the battalion commander who had unbuttoned his tweed coat.

"Are you sure she's the 'Ruby Pupil' that the administrative committee of Namendong City is looking for?"

"Yes, battalion commander, I can confirm. I used to do a book copying job in Garcia, and she felt like I could recognize it without words, or even without her opening her mouth......

"You shouldn't have fallen in love with her at first sight, right?" The battalion commander laughed. How does this description sound like falling in love? Clerk, you have a bright future now, but don't make a big mistake because of a girl, like that corporal in the Eastern War Zone. ”

The Elta Army was really flawless during the war, but the situation was different after the war. Just exactly a week ago, all the Elta armies stationed in the four directions of the south, east, and west received an army-wide notification. The "bad" content and harsh language are unique in the history of Elta.

A corporal of the security forces stationed in a town near the port of Hilzi went to the tavern after talking to the girl in the street. In the end, he got drunk and went to the shaker with the girl, and before he went to the shaker, he had a conflict with someone, and beat the other party with the fighting skills taught in the army in three or two strokes.

Now that's good. After being beaten and bruised, the master came to the door, and the pickets with special armbands closed up the soldier who did not return to the camp at night. The soldier with the smell of alcohol was naturally vague, but the picket was not a vegetarian after all, so he went to the city in casual clothes to find out the evidence of the soldier's drinking and shaking bed.

This was just about to be reported by the military region, but it was unfortunate that the owner of the matter came to the barracks to complain after crossing the pontoon bridge over the river with a lime leg and a cane. In that scene, the owner of the incident had a handful of snot and tears, and he couldn't wipe it with his bandaged hands (the family members wiped it with facial tissues provided by the army), which was really unbearable.

The leader of the military region, that is, the current regiment commander, was furious when he heard the ins and outs of the matter, and he almost learned to throw a teacup at the wall with his bald head.

As for the roast chicken that made this soldier who was more daring than Garcia almost used as a monkey, that's another story.

"No, no, no, battalion commander, I don't have the courage to be a thiefβ€”" Speaking of which, the clerk found that he had used the introduced colloquialism in the wrong place, so he had to make a slight modification under the strange gaze of the battalion commander, "and I don't have this thief's heart." I, I'm just thinking about the happiness and future of the people of Elta......"

"Okay, okay, you have to remember anyway, we can't afford anything to go wrong when it comes to discipline." The battalion commander from the former Xinjiang garrison relaxed his tone slightly, and leaned his back on the imitation leather cushion that was not soft. But the clerk could hear it completely, and this sentence was not relaxed at all, but what was hidden in the cotton was a sharp blade that made a decision to kill.

"Yes!"

"The new Elta Army is the people's soldiers." In the mouth of the battalion commander, a hammer floated out of the sound. "Well, but the 'Ruby Pupil' you mentioned does need to be checked, after you arrive at the camp, you will go back to the camp headquarters first, and I will personally take over all the affairs of the ridge camp."

At this moment, the walkie-talkie, which was plugged in front of the passenger compartment of the jeep, was not willing to be lonely and lit up a red light.

"Here's the reconnaissance platoon, here's the reconnaissance platoon...... (gasping), our army has defeated all the remnants of the road fighter bandits who are fleeing on the gentle slope of the northeast slope of Mount Vitagore, the enemy immediately gave up the escape and surrendered after being killed by the platoon, the reconnaissance platoon is now counting the number of people, please brother troops, all companies, each platoon quickly give escort and suppression support......"

The battalion commander was a little sleepy by the heating in the car, and the good news that came faster than expected just became a refreshing medicine to keep him awake. I saw him stretch out from the back seat to the front seat with one hand, grab the walkie-talkie and press the button and shout:

"Well done, reconnaissance platoon! All of them are good! Go back and I'll apply for a collective first-class merit for you! The commanders and fighters of the whole battalion have listened well, if in the future, if you can break one person into two, or even ten, like the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds! ”
