Chapter 1467: The Lava That Devoured the Flames

The wedding of Alain and Miss Lias Fell took place in a humble temple to Mara, on the outskirts of Elichar, where the earth goddess Mara ruled over the realm of fertility, fertility and fertility, and was therefore regarded as the patron saint of marriage and love. Although the temple is small and inconspicuous, there is no shortage of bell towers, choirs, statues, and priests who organize oaths and wedding ceremonies. As a result, the wedding ended successfully in such a joyful and touching atmosphere with a touch of sadness but more of healing and hope.

A current couple who can blind people's eyes was born! Since then, the pressure on the lives of the Wang people and the low-level fart people has been even greater, which is really gratifying!

Not far from the small temple is the edge of the Sky Island, where there is a small rowing pier and Yunhai Park, plus a restaurant with a view close to the shore. The terrace of the restaurant is not small, enough to accommodate dozens of guests, and the decoration is very bourgeois, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds while dining, and its characteristic meals are also good. The bride and groom dedicate the entire dining room and the terrace outside for a full day for meals and balls to entertain all the friends and family who attend the wedding – the only luxury in the wedding process, but it is said that it is also paid for by the bride's family. Well, Brother Alan eats soft rice so reasonably, for men, this is also a kind of absolute!

The celebration after the wedding will last until the evening, including lunch and dinner, and a dance party after dinner. Of course, Lu Xi couldn't stay that late, and he was not interested in attending the dance party or anything afterwards - you know, there were already many of the man's friends who were carefully and secretly looking at him with amazing eyes. Many of the brave ones continued to drink, and then they seemed to be ready to come up and talk, but if they just threw a glance or two, they were so ashamed that they drooped their heads again.

…… Tsk, man!

But is this imperfect youth? Besides, don't you small-town youths who don't learn anything read the newspaper? Although my jade photo should not have been on the news, you don't know Seyleu next to him?

Lu Xi decided to sit down and leave in the afternoon, so he looked forward to the quality of Chinese food. Fortunately, since this restaurant dares to open on the shore of the sea of clouds and occupies such a good view, the taste of its food is still good. After a hearty dinner of cheesebird, cold cuts of ham and vegetables, stewed meat and dumplings, and white wine, Lu Xi had asked Sai Xiliu to serve himself a brewed tea. He leaned back on the chair on the edge of the terrace, looked sideways at the sea of clouds, and left his flawless and dreamy side face as a benefit, but he lit the sepiolite pipe left by the old man as if no one was around, and took a deep breath.

Soon, the bridegroom sat down beside him, stretched out, and slowly lit a cigar.

Lu Xi wrinkled his nose slightly, and quickly judged its origin and brand from the breath of smoke: "Well, the Yawu ruby made by the King of Barahan in the Sosnes Continent will cost at least 200 gold mila to buy a box of ten." A mere federal civil servant can afford this thing on a dead salary? ”

"Is this such a valuable thing?" Alan was dumbfounded, and then realized that he had taken half a month's income from his own, and his face turned pale: "This, this is just a gift from Liz's parents, I thought it was ...... No, I have to go back. ”

"Forget it. The gifts given by the father-in-law and mother-in-law, whether it is a serviced apartment in the center of the capital, or a single-family villa on the green island of Neosfia, or even a luxury yacht, are all the love of the elders for their children. If you do go back, it will be too impersonal. Don't worry, there will be no problem. ”

"That's a big problem, isn't it? Either way, it looks like a power-for-money deal, right? Alain said angrily. I hesitated to hold the cigar in my hand, and I didn't know for a while whether I should continue smoking. If you don't smoke the cigar, you will theoretically go out by yourself, but the part that is burned will be wasted, right? Brother Alan probably thought it would be a waste to go on like this, so he took a big sip viciously and spit out even more viciously, probably trying to separate the part of his soul that was a young man in a small town, right?

"Well, I saw the differentiation and birth of classes." Lu Xidao.

The Chief Secretary of State to the Federal FΓΌhrer glared, but he really had no problem with the Admiral of the Central Praetorian Fleet, so he could only hold himself back.

So, what's next? You've been Master Rassell's secretary for over a decade, haven't you? This position is the center of politics, which can cultivate people's pattern and vision, but gradually people will not be able to see the truth. Even if it's to better help the master, you should be sent out, right? ”

"I've definitely talked to the teacher. Whether it's in the department or locally, I should be able to help. However, it is not yet certain. Alan said: "I actually want to go to a newly captured place like Black Man or Tatuga to serve as the military governor. ”

"Well, the military control of the overseas consulate will last for a few more years. The governor has both military power and governing power, and he can definitely be regarded as the emperor of the soil at the local level. This is a good post. In the late period of the Griffon Dynasty in Oakland, there were several 'emperors' who grew up as local governors. ”

"Hey, hey, it's not funny at all. If it were the people from the Gate Valve faction, I would think they were provoking. Alan smiled bitterly: "In addition, how can I get my turn in such an important position as the military governor?" Even if you want to seek local development, you are just a county magistrate. ”

"You can try to stay in Elichar as an assistant to the mayor or something. Now the mayor I remember as a fool, setting him up, or grabbing his handle to blackmail him, and if it doesn't work, I can use illusions to wash his brain. In this way, you will become the mayor of the Shadow Imperial Capital, and you can definitely be regarded as a big man in the political arena. ”

"So, can you not make such a joke in front of a law-abiding national civil servant? In addition, you are now also the highest-level general in the military world, and all your words may be over-interpreted, so you should be even more cautious in your words! ”

"yes, but I don't want to."

Alantis tensed his stiff smile, constantly reminding himself that he must be calm, anyway, even if he can't help but move, he is not an opponent at all, it is better to calm down. Yes, the world is not perfect but it is still good, and I am so grumpy, so bad!

"In short, cough cough cough, the most likely thing now is to go to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as the director of shipping affairs, managing the nation's passenger and freight network."

"Oh, that is to say, the whole country except for the warships will be under your control. Fat shortage! If you can find a way to detain a few more large cargo ships, modify them and decorate them with weapons, you can become a warship. Lu Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, Brother Alain, do you have any plans to fight against the Central Fleet under my command?" ”

"Who's going to do that? Moreover, the armed merchant ships that have been refitted have fought pirates at most, so how can they fight against war ships? He held his forehead and said loudly, realizing that the relatives and friends who were playing poker, playing board games, drinking afternoon tea and chatting next to him seemed to have seen it, so he couldn't help but shrink his head and lowered his voice: "This position is responsible for the planning, deployment and overall planning of national shipping. You know, shipping trade is the lifeblood of the Federation, and if anything goes wrong, it's that the citizens can't meet the minimum food needs. In recent years, the bureaucrats of the Shipping Service Department have indeed become more and more disagreeable, and the country's important grain ships have been diverted to transport luxury goods. It's really time to get it in order. ”

"That's not bad, as long as the shipping network is regularized, public confidence in the new government will probably be restored. You can't expect too much from the lower limit and character of the bureaucrats, so be ready to kill people at any time. ”

"Well, I'm not just a mage. It may not be easy for a high-ranking disciple like Duyd to understand, but I am not stingy with those few human head sacrifice flags. The groom in the dress sneered a few times, and the murderous aura flashed. Although he has a down-and-out civilian face and has been the state secretary of Master Rassell for ten years, his strength is actually not strong (by the standards of Lu Xi's side), but when he was a student, he was a tough guy who entered Mount Namoya, fought hard battles with Black Flag Winged People and the Undead Lord, and killed strong enemies with serious injuries. The master who has seen blood is a little more decisive than the pure bureaucrats who are flies and dogs.

"After I take office, if the Central Fleet is preparing to sail for training and exercises, you will also need to coordinate, so please give me a lot of advice when the time comes.

"Don't worry...... Hey, don't act like I'm sure I'm going to take office! That's a real shortage, and now there are three or four people vying for that position, including Duyd Wielambat, the eldest son of His Excellency the Speaker. Hey, don't look like that! That guy is really a great competitor, and there is no shortage of connections and qualifications. Probably ......"

"No, I just heard the name of the seaweed head for a long time, and I actually have a nostalgic feeling, it's really subtle!"

"Maybe you've already discovered that he's the most pleasing of the sons of the Gate Valve Sect." Alain laughed. He has been fighting with Seaweed Head for so many years, and it seems that he has inexplicably developed some feelings.

"Anyway, I'm here for the time being, don't worry, how are you there? It's you, who completely took over the two big (meow) troubles. Alan lowered his voice and said, "Whether it is the principal of the Dugu Fort Military Academy or the admiral of the Central Fleet, they are just glamorous positions now, but in fact, they are completely a crater." ”

"Well, I've guessed that. Otherwise, Squinting Uncle, well, I mean Admiral Halda Dandylane, and our current supreme commander, Field Marshal Mentius, the Chief of Military Orders, would not have lost these recognized positions of great importance to me. Lu Xi sneered, and then said, "However, I don't know exactly what kind of volcanic method it is." ”

Alan couldn't help but be stunned: "Then, why do you want to come back?" ”

"What else should I do? Hold on to the military power of the Fourth Army and disobey the orders of the central government, oh yes, Brother Alain, you are letting the warlordization be! Does this look like the words of a country's State Department? Besides, since there is a volcano, there will always be an explosion one day. If you don't feel the heat of the lava up close, how can you use it to devour the flames? Lu Xi looked at Alan and showed an impeccable smile.

Arantis couldn't help but swallow a little saliva. Beneath the darkness of his eyes, which were like the night sky, he could clearly see the boiling crimson, but he didn't know if it was like lava devouring flames, or blood.
