158. Night Watch
Rohr finally made this difficult decision after careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons.
Although this errand pays a lot of money, it can help the village build roads, and it can also gain a certain amount of power and status, so that it can better protect the people around him......
But this is still not a decision that can be made casually, and Rohr will inevitably face the corresponding dangers and responsibilities, and even bear some grievances and infamy.
It's just that Rohr feels that for the sake of his daughter and the people around him, he is willing to carry the weight forward.
Alas, I'm a man who has to carry everything by myself after all......
Rohr sighed in a low voice in his heart, and a long-lost plot of heroism poured out.
But he didn't tell his daughter and students about it.
Because it is a secret agency, similar to the intelligence agency on Earth, judging from the various plots in the movie and the movie, working in this kind of place, the real identity must be kept secret from the family.
And he has always been a tall, bright, and majestic image in the eyes of his daughter and students, and now he has run to be the head of the secret service, which is a bit inconsistent with the personality, so I can't say it.
So just like that, after dinner, Klee hugged the little milk cat and curled up on the sofa to listen to the radio; Rohr sat at the dinner table and continued to discuss the good intentions of the Empire with Jeanne.
He gave Jeanne some advice, the most important of which was not to rely too much on the Empire's aid, and to be prepared to repay.
At the same time, no matter who the empire sends and what they say, don't let their people participate in the decision-making of major matters, you must maintain the independence of the sect, and don't become puppets of the empire.
As for the military mutual assistance, let's talk about it depending on the situation when the time comes, if it is some small-scale and small-scale conflict, you can be active and help if you can; But if it is a wrestling between major forces, don't blindly participate in it, and be clever.
A small force like the Guangfu Sect that has no climate can really only be shameless in order to survive in the cracks of the big forces.
In fact, he originally wanted to persuade Jeanne, suggesting that she wait until the general situation is complete and the situation is stable, and retire in advance, so as not to be involved in the various complicated whirlpools that follow.
The Restoration Sect will one day grow to the point where he, as a keyboard politician, can't control it, and then he really won't be able to give much useful advice, and it will be difficult to protect his students.
And the armor she wore came from the 'Savior Saintess' Fiona in history, but her final fate was really miserable, not to mention the ruin of the country and the family, and she was also called the 'witch of trouble' by outsiders, and even became the 'Saint of Burning' in the end......
No matter how you look at it, it's unlucky......
But he still didn't say it in the end, because it was tantamount to asking Jeanne to give up the fame and power position that was at his fingertips, and give up his long-term efforts and persistence, so even if he was worried about her safety in the future, he couldn't say it.
I can only take one step at a time, and if there is really any bad omen at that time, I will find a way to pull her again.
"So let's do it first."
Rohr finally said.
Jeanne nodded, and put away the densely written notebook.
Rohr looked at his pocket watch again, and it was ten o'clock in the evening, so he suggested again:
"It's so late, don't go back, stay here tonight, the security outside is not very good these days."
"Huh?"
Jeanne was slightly stunned.
Coincidentally, Klee on the sofa was also slightly stunned.
"Huh?"
This apartment is not big, there are two rooms and two beds in total, and usually Rohr and his daughter live in one room each.
If Raul had stayed with Jeanne for the night, it would have meant ......
Are you going to sleep with your teacher tonight?
Can I sleep with my dad tonight?
The two girls each had a reverie in their heads.
But Rohr stood up, took out an overcoat from his left hand, and said:
"I have to go out to work all night, and I will live in the dormitory of the meat factory at night, and see if I can get some meat back."
"You two are at home, please pay attention to safety."
In fact, he is not very worried about safety, the neighborhood where he lives is the place where he focuses on rectification, and it is very safe.
And her daughter's swordsmanship has not regressed, which is enough to protect herself.
"I know, Dad, you have to be careful at night."
Klee nodded sensibly, although she wanted to keep her father, she never coquettishly at such an inappropriate time, and knew that her father was going to do more important things.
She just quickly got up from the sofa, ran to Rohr with her little short legs, hugged his waist hard, and rubbed her head against his belly.
Then he lowered his head and said to the little milk cat who was hanging on Rohr's trouser leg and trying to climb:
"Xiaomi, you must take care of Dad!"
The kitten meowed twice, and nimbly and skillfully burrowed into the pocket of Rohr's chest.
Rohr couldn't help but show a crying and laughing expression, and gently rubbed his daughter's head.
"Don't worry, your father has always been cautious, not the kind of brainless and reckless man, where does he need a kitten to take care of?"
Seeing this, Jeanne on the side hurriedly followed and said:
"Huh? Does Xiaomi want to go on a night patrol with you? Why don't you let me take care of it? ”
When she came over this time, she was going to pet this little furball, but the little milk cat was a little afraid of her, and she was always held in Klee's arms, and she couldn't get it.
Klee helped Rohr explain:
"Xiao Mi is very powerful, she can help Dad catch the bad guys!"
Jeanne was stunned when she heard this, wasn't it just a little milk cat?
When Rohr's footsteps faded away, Klee spoke again:
"Miss Jeanne, you can stay in my room tonight, my sheets and quilts are very clean."
As she spoke, she also took out the fluffy hammerhead shark puppet from the bear's satchel and held it in her arms.
Klee likes furry things, so if you can, you must hold one in your arms.
Jeanne subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly realized something.
If I sleep in the same bed that the teacher usually sleeps in, isn't it the same as sharing the same bed with the teacher?
So she hurriedly said:
"Don't bother, right? I just slept in the teacher's bed. ”
Klee shook her head resolutely:
"Uh-huh~ No, no, no, Dad often goes to bed without taking a bath, it's all the smell of Dad, or I'll sleep."
It's all the taste of the teacher......
That's not ...... Is it better?
Jeanne's eyes flashed, and she thought of a solution:
"That's right, after I slept tonight, I can help wash the sheets and quilts tomorrow."
Klee still stubbornly shook her head:
"No, no, no, you're a guest, you can't let you do these things."
Jeanne still refuses to give up and wants to fight for it.
Klee said that she couldn't help it, so she had to move out of the village rules.
"In that case, let's settle the dispute the way I did in my hometown."
As she spoke, she took out two training swords from Little Bear's satchel and threw one at Jeanne's feet.
Jeanne could only coax......
You can't put on a beautiful girl indoor fencing in the middle of the night, right?
Where is she Klee's opponent?
So in the end, I had to reluctantly climb into Klee's small bed with a faint body fragrance.
Miss Klee is so well-behaved and cute, and the teacher is so knowledgeable, why would she like to use force to settle disputes?
Jeanne lay on the bed, looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, and her mind was full of cranky thoughts.
If you want to realize your dreams in the future, there may be some opportunities to get the approval of your teachers, but it is too difficult to get the approval of Miss Klee......
------------
Rohr, on his side, was riding a small donkey and leading a patrol of eight enthusiastic citizens, taking advantage of the light provided by the magic guide's portable lamp, strolling slowly through the quiet streets.
Originally, the night of the imperial capital was very lively, with the atmosphere of a city that never sleeps, which formed a sharp contrast with the dark and quiet environment around now.
"Captain Luoer, when do you say the imperial capital will recover?"
A young man on a bicycle next to him asked.
He is also a student of the First Academy of the Imperial Capital, and is considered an alumnus of Klee, but he is from the engineering department.
The young man was hardworking and enthusiastic, and was one of the first to join the civilian patrol.
Luo Er liked him a lot, and tried to teach him a little introductory swordsmanship, but unfortunately the young man was good, but his talent was ridiculously poor, and he couldn't learn it at all, so Luo Er had to give up.
Luo Er didn't speak, but another middle-aged man on a bicycle next to him said:
"It's much better now than it was at the beginning, and I believe it won't be long before it becomes as lively as before."
This man was originally a bank clerk, but in order to protect his family, he also volunteered to join the civilian patrol.
Rohr nodded, and reminded:
"The more times like this, the more we can't let our guard down, and now maybe there are fewer people making trouble on the streets, but there are a lot of enemy spies mixed in, so we have to be more careful."
Everyone nodded, and someone followed:
"As long as the captain is around, those spies are nothing."
Others chimed in:
"Yes, yes, the captain is the best!"
"I will always remember the scene when the captain single-handedly overturned the dozen people on the other side."
"If it weren't for my age, I would have liked to learn the captain's swordsmanship."
Luo Er has a very high prestige in the patrol team, not only by his appearance and temperament, but mainly by his excellent strength and hands-on style.
The rioters who take to the streets are often in large numbers, armed with all kinds of weapons and even firearms, and their attacks are particularly brutal, and it is difficult for ordinary patrols to deal with them, and even military squads have a headache when they encounter them.
But with Luo Er here, these are not problems, and they will be solved after two or three swords.
However, he generally kept his hands, did not aim at the vital point, and just made the other party incapacitated.
Only occasionally meet the kind of person who wants to hurt someone's life, will he start harder and give the other party a chance to be a new person.
So he quickly made a name for himself and made the neighborhood a lot safer.
The patrol continued to walk down the street, and as they were approaching the end of the patrol, someone in the team suddenly stopped, pointed to a dark alley on the side of the road, and said:
"There's going on over there, I'll go over and take a look."
"Bastard!"
Rohr let out a loud cry and taught:
"How many times have you said that you should not do such a dangerous act and forget the rules I have set?"
When he was first elected as the captain by everyone, he set a lot of rules.
In addition to the foundation that you can't use your power for personal gain and can't take a stitch from the masses, he also set a few strange rules.
For example, you can't go back to your hometown to get married, you can't celebrate anyone's birthday, you can't walk alone at night, and you can't go over to see any movement.
The team members didn't quite understand, but they still complied with it, and coupled with Rohr's combat effectiveness, the patrol team has not suffered any casualties so far.
Rohr looked at the dark alley, reached out and scratched the little cat's head, and patted the little donkey's head.
"Meow meow!"
The little milk cat barked a few times, and it sounded like it was emotionally stable.
Rohr bowed his head slightly, pursed his lips, and then spoke:
"Okay, it's okay, there's no danger, it should be a wild cat somewhere."
With that, he left with the patrol and soon arrived at the meat factory.
Rohr watched the team walk through the gate, then waved.
"Alright, you guys have a good rest, I'll go back to sleep."
The team members asked puzzledly:
"Huh? Captain, didn't you say that you would live in the dormitory of the factory tonight? ”
"That's right, we've all discussed it, and we'll find a way to help you get two big steaks tomorrow morning."
"Captain, you don't have to worry about the lack of beds, I can squeeze in with them."
Rohr waved his hand and explained:
"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that my daughter is home alone tonight, I'm really not at ease, after thinking about it, I'd better go home and sleep."
Hearing him say this, the others naturally didn't say much, and said goodbye to Rohr one after another.
When everyone was gone, Rohr patted the little donkey on the head and motioned for it to go back.
But the little donkey did not take the nearest route, but took a long detour, in the direction of the alley before.
And in the alley from before, in the darkness, there was a small cracking sound, like some wild beast, chewing something.
When the chewing sound died down, I heard someone say in a strange voice:
"You've already eaten half of the frozen meat in the cold storage, and you haven't eaten enough?"
But it is not the imperial Chinese language.
A low roar sounded in the darkness, and the owner of the voice was expressing displeasure.
"Then I can't help it, bear with it, in the hinterland of the empire, we must be careful."
"If you want to blame, blame the team just now for being alert enough and didn't come in, right?"
"Although they are just ordinary people, they are very clever, and the Imperial Yankees have always been so cunning."
With that, there was a surge in the darkness of the alley, from which a humanoid creature and a giant hound-like thing slowly emerged.
But as soon as they appeared on the street, they saw a beautiful little donkey standing across the street, with a middle-aged man riding on his back, holding his hands and looking at them with a smile.
