Chapter 35: Graduation
Soon, the time came in the spring of 1512 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Leo had been training for more than a year at the headquarters of the Navy, Marin Fando.
"Teacher, this time it only took me three days to reach the new training requirements, and my life level has successfully reached the seventh stage!"
Leo and Green Bull excitedly came to Zefa to show off.
Zefa is a very good person to get along with, and in the past year, he has made Leo feel what family affection is.
More than 40 years of experience in the two worlds let him know that Zefa was really good to him, although he didn't say it, he remembered it very clearly in his heart.
Seeing Leo coming over, a smile quickly appeared on Zefa's face: "I originally thought that it would take you another month to break through the seventh stage, but I didn't expect that it only took you three days!" ”
As always, while being harsh, Zefa did not skimp on his praise at all.
Whining!
At this time, the little short legs underground kept jumping up, wanting to prove their existence.
Uninformed people will think that the green cow is going to hit them in the knee.
"Hahaha, good!" Zefa bent down and picked up the green cow. "And you, a manatee genius, the future general manatee!"
Hearing Zefa's praise, the green cow immediately touched his smooth head with satisfaction, as if he was a little shy.
Zefa put the green cow down, and then looked at Leo: "Leo, the life level has reached the seventh stage, and you are about to graduate, is there a place you want to go?" I can arrange it for you. ”
There is no doubt that Zefa wanted to arrange an errand for Leo.
"Teacher, I have decided not to join the Navy for the time being!" Leo replied quickly.
For Leo's decision, Zefa only briefly confused and asked, "Why?" Joining the Navy is the best option and will be of great benefit to your future. ”
Leo certainly knew how good it was to join the Navy.
If you want a domineering cultivation method, if you want a better life essence, if you want more resources, you must join the navy to get it.
"Teacher, even if I don't join the navy, I can accumulate military merits as a cadet in exchange for resources!"
"But then you can get a lot less, and there is no way to get a promotion!"
The bounty for killing pirates in the navy is very small, and most of them become war merits, which can be exchanged for resources on the one hand, and promotion certificates on the other.
For the Navy, killing a pirate gives you nearly double the value.
For ordinary students or pirate hunters, the value of killing pirates can only get seventy percent of the bounty.
Even if Zefa helped Leo go through the back door and gave Leo ten percent of the benefits, there was still a huge gap between the two times the benefits of the real navy.
Leo has his own reasons, in the past year or so, Zefa has paid too much to him, and even gave up his face to ask the great swordsman of the navy to guide Leo.
Leo saw all of this, so Leo always wanted to do something for Zefa.
It's a pity that because of the sacrifice of his family and his lack of ambition in the navy, Zefa's heart has long died, and he doesn't care so much about his declining strength, and there is no way for Leo to do anything he wants.
Therefore, he set a goal for himself, to become a strong admiral early, and let those high-ranking naval officials know that Zefa's ability lets people know that Zefa is not old.
But becoming a general is not something that can be done in a short period of time, and even if he is confident that he can do it, it will take enough time.
So in addition to this goal, Leo has another thing in mind, and that is to find that Whitebeard II.
Kill him early so that he doesn't have a chance to attack Zefa.
In this way, although nothing can be changed for the time being, at least Zefa will not end up in the tragedy of being killed by students in the future.
"Teacher, if you want to go further with my current realm, you must find a supreme fast knife that suits me!"
Zefa quickly reacted: "Is it the Mo Shangyue Song that you have been thinking about before?" ”
"Yes, I want to spend a year or two in Chambord to find a suitable knife!"
Also in search of Whitebeard II, Leo thought to himself.
Zefa quickly understood that becoming a navy naturally had benefits, but what he lost was freedom, and it would be difficult to find Mo Shangyuege.
The navy's intelligence is the best in the sea, but who will help Leo find a knife?
It may be possible if Leo becomes an important figure in the navy, but Leo is just a newcomer with potential.
"Teacher, I'm not even eighteen years old this year, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to join the navy! As long as you have strength, you will be promoted very quickly! ”
Zefa nodded, as a former general, he naturally understood this.
In fact, Zefa itself is a late-blooming type, and Zefa, who is in his twenties, is even just an ordinary sergeant-level minion.
"Okay, since you've decided, then I won't persuade you more, I'll keep your status as an elite battalion student, and I'll graduate you when you want to join the navy!"
"Thank you, teacher!" Leo said gratefully.
"Silly boy, say thank you to me! As a teacher, of course, I will fully support my students! Zefa waved his hand absently.
"By the way, that place in Chambord is not very peaceful, and those Tianlong people will have something to do if they are fine!"
"Don't worry, teacher, I will try to avoid conflicts with them!"
The relationship between the navy and the Tianlong people is actually very complicated, not a simple relationship between the bodyguard and the employer, but there is one point, there is no absolute superior-subordinate relationship between the two.
"I mean, try to endure as much as possible, if you really can't bear it, as long as you don't kill Tianlong, your teacher and I can save you even if I give up my old face!"
Leo opened his mouth, but suddenly choked up, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, teacher, I know how to measure!"
Zefa patted Leo on the shoulder, and then nodded: "Be careful, remember to discuss with me when you encounter something, I still have some connections!" ”
Leo listened to Zefa's words and immediately gritted his teeth: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely become a general-level powerhouse as quickly as possible, and let those guys who are in the corpse position know that General Zefa is not old!" ”
Zefa was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he spat deeply: "You have done a good job, don't put too much pressure on yourself, how can an old guy who has stepped into the coffin with half a foot in the teacher care about this bit of cheekiness?" Your life has just begun, don't do anything dangerous for me as an old fellow, it's not worth it! ”
"But this breath, my disciple must fight for you back!"
Zefa didn't speak, just turned around and waved his hand, his figure full of loneliness: "Safety first!" ”
Leo didn't say much, just quietly looked at Zefa's back.
"Hehe, no matter what world it is, good people are always the ones who are bullied! Even if it is as strong as Zefa, Teacher is no exception! ”
He Zefa is known as the general who does not kill, but fate seems to think that Zefa is easy to bully, first let Zefa's entire family die in the pirate trouble, and then let Zefa be looked down upon in the navy.
Then he was cut off by Whitebeard II, and the students of the whole ship were almost wiped out, and what is even more ridiculous is that this murderer became a collaborator of the navy and became the king of the Seven Martial Seas, and the navy not only could not sanction the murderer, but also had to protect the murderer.
In the end, the ending was even more bleak, and he died at the hands of the student he was proud of.
It can be said that Zefa is the saddest character in the pirates, and there is no one.
"Since I, Leo, have come here, then I will definitely not let the tragedy of Mr. Zefa continue. Edward Wilbull, wait for me! ”
