Chapter 69: The Banquet Ends
Lufas, the chief of the "Iron Blooded Son", only said the second half, and the first half would not be said until the "Star Cup Battle" two months later, when Jusis personally asked Lufas.
Li En didn't mean to ask in advance, and followed his words and said, "Transcendence, isn't it?" It seems to me that you have accumulated enough strength to try to achieve your goals. ”
"Isn't that a little inappropriate for you, the true 'Son of Iron Will'?" Lufas squinted his eyes and asked rhetorically with a smirk.
"Nothing out of place. Whether it's company time or their respective philosophies, you fit this title better than I do. ”
This sentence, Li En is absolutely sincere.
It's not just these two, it's the same for all else.
Osborne and Lufas are both all-round talents, martial arts, military strategy, governance, and communication, so that people can't find shortcomings.
In contrast, although Li En is also considered to be talented, his excellence is only one aspect of martial arts, and the driving mecha and teaching and educating people are only three aspects, which cannot be compared with the above two at all.
Regardless of appearances, Lufas is indeed more like Osborne's son than he is.
"Hahahaha. To hear you say that is the greatest compliment to me. We may be your substitute for you, but even so, I will keep going. ”
Lufas laughed, a little ruinous in his image.
"But if you go beyond it now, my strength is not enough, and many of the ones you see were given to me by Your Excellency, and they do not belong to me. In addition to that, I was missing the most critical thing. ”
Lane knew very well that he was talking about the Golden Rider El Prado, but this time you will never have a chance, and I will not give it to anyone.
He sneered in his heart, but he didn't understand the tone on his face, and waited quietly for Lufas's next words.
"It's a test. Your Excellency is a person who understands human nature very well and will take different measures according to different people.
I, Major Rykert, Major Claire, and Miriam, different people have different ideas, and Your Excellency will give different 'assignments', and only by completing this will you be eligible to access the true core, the secret of the 'Black Workshop' and your true plan.
Maybe you don't want to admit it, but you're also within the scope of the test, cheer each other on, Dawn Schwarzer. ”
"yes." Although the way of refueling was different, Lane nodded and stood up.
The words have been spoken, and in the process of narration, Lufas also began to tidy up his appearance, and even if he wanted to continue, he did not have the time.
Both Lufas and Lane knew that these words could never be said in public, otherwise the mere revelation of their identities would set off another round of political turmoil.
At 19 o'clock in the evening, the dinner officially began.
All the dignitaries of the mission, as well as the leading figures of the invited Cross Bell, were present.
These are either in high positions or groups of wealthy people, talking gracefully and decently, and the scene seems to be extraordinarily harmonious—even if it is only superficially harmonious.
The people who can come this far, every one of them is a master of superficial articles, even if they wish that you would die in the next second, they still greet each other with a smile on their faces.
This kind of communication is too early for the vast majority of students to feel it at all, and they don't have the heart to feel it—because they are also enjoying dinner.
Lufas did what he said, although it was in the side hall next to the main banquet hall, but he really entertained all the students according to the standard of a VIP dinner, except for the fact that he did not drink alcohol, everything else was exactly the same.
The students are either eating or chatting, and few people are really looking at the big screen in the center, and the few who are watching are also looking at cute girls.
Her Royal Highness the princess is so cute.
The brunette girl next to me is my dish.
Sure enough, the ideological education of students is very problematic.
Rien confirmed this again, but this time there was no need for a special report, the instructor corps was all present, and Michael himself heard it clearly, and had complained more than once: "The students should not be allowed to eat so luxuriously." ”
Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to eat alone. Like Ryan, Randy, and Tova, he didn't take his eyes off the screen the whole time, and he always took a little bit of food to ensure that his combat effectiveness would not be affected by hunger, nor would he be lowered by eating too much.
However, not everyone has such self-control as the instructors, and for immature students, an overly comfortable environment will make them let their guard down, which is not in line with the Empire's philosophy of "always on the battlefield", and the regular army will sometimes lower their dietary standards with similar considerations.
Both Lane and Randy agree. Tova thinks it's good, after all, the students usually work hard, and it's not bad to have a rare opportunity to relax, and without this invitation, Randy can only stay in the camp, and now he can at least come out and see the changes in Crossbell on the way to and back.
As soon as they said this, the three male *** didn't say anything more.
The Governor's Mansion assigned the security task to the Second Branch School only until the end of the dinner, but not to leave immediately after that, but to stand by the Orchid Tower until the Governor's Palace to bring the guests safely to the State Guest House.
During this period, you can move relatively freely, and you don't necessarily have to be on call in the side hall, such as going to the corridor to look at the night view, and finding a quiet place to sit for a while, as long as you don't step out of the designated place.
The instructors finally stopped watching, and Randy and Tova continued to stay in the side hall and keep an eye on the students, lest they get too happy and cause trouble.
Michael went to deal with the group of reporters who were not very peaceful, the ones who were taken away before the dinner began.
Li En also followed, because he knew that Wei Wei was inside, for Li En's sake and Wei Wei's identity as a graduate of the school, Michael only reprimanded a few words without too much punishment.
Although Li En also reiterated the rules of the Orchid Tower and played the card Linde, seeing that Vivi still wanted to contact Speaker McDowell and the Speaker's granddaughter, it is estimated that she didn't listen.
Come to think of it, you won't come to Crossbell if you listen to it. Originally, this kind of thing couldn't be the turn of Weiwei, a rookie reporter, so she played a little trick to run over.
The male reporter who was with him seemed quite reliable, calm and sophisticated, and had been telling Weiwei not to mess around since just now.
"It's rude, I'm Reynz, a reporter affiliated with Crossbell Time, and because of my partnership with the Imperial Times, I'm coming in with Miss Vivi this time, this is my business card, and I hope to do an interview with the famous 'Grey Knight' if I have the chance."
Lane took the business card politely at first, but when he saw an inconspicuous mark in the corner of the card, his eyes lit up.
This is the code number of the R&A investigation company established by Richard, a former colonel of the Kingdom Army in Lieber, and this one is obviously the secret line sent by Liber to Crossbell.
"If the exercise is over, there is still time to spare."
"Wait, wait." Wei Wei quit, "Shouldn't you think about me as an old classmate first in the interview?" We had an extraordinary—"
"Don't say that adjective." Li En took the first step to block the words, "Otherwise, I will go to Linda to complain, including everything you did tonight." ”
"I was wrong, Lord Rien."
Vivi clasped her hands together in a gesture of please. Tonight's behavior is indeed a bit out of bounds, and Linde knows that she will definitely be angry, and Linda is not much better than Emma to be angry.
Then he lifted another eyelid and looked at Rien pitifully.
"That's, the interview thing-"
"How about we publish it jointly?" Reynz proposed.
"I think so." Dawn clapped.
It's just an excuse for matchmaking, and if it is really published, Reynz's own hidden identity may not be preserved.
After the Gray Knight went to be an instructor, he didn't give an exclusive interview again, how could you not arouse suspicion when you have nothing to do with the reporter Cross Bell suddenly got an exclusive interview?
But the relationship with Weiwei is different, comrades-in-arms and old classmates, or reporters, Li En is emotional, and it is normal to give face.
