Chapter 5: A Brief Reunion
"Speaking of which, you guys are really ...... Well, it's a little radical, isn't it? Garcia took a sip with a smile, "Just come to the door like this?" β
"Fei insists on seeing you, of course I can't refuse her. But we're not completely unprepared. Heliga gestured out the window, "The Wind Blademaster is waiting outside the door." β
ββ¦β¦ Is it. His face sank, and then eased slightly, "I see...... Is it an acquaintance of the guerrillas? β
"Sort of...... I'm kind of friendly with Arios. Of course, that's not all, I have one more thing that will guarantee that I won't be threatened by you. β
"What is it?" Garcia's face grew more interested.
"This." Heliga took out the unused object from his bosom and placed it on the table, the gold-bordered coat of arms clearly visible.
"This is ......" Garcia was well-informed, and recognized what it was at a glance, "Is it ......"
"That's right...... I was born into the nobility of the Empire. Heiliga nodded, looking at Garcia's performance with satisfaction, "As far as I know, your president is working for Speaker Harutman, and Harutman's backers are the nobles of the Empire. In this sense, "Rubacher" at least won't take the initiative to trouble the nobles of the empire......"
"Huh...... I kind of understand the head of the regiment. Garcia smiled instead, "No wonder he will feel free to hand over Fei to you...... But just in case, I'll make sure. β
"Huh? What's the matter? Heiliga looked at Garcia, who was gradually becoming serious, confused. Seeing this scene, Fei on the side covered her eyes helplessly.
"You kid...... Do you want to make a move on the Philippines? Garcia's face turned cold, and the good atmosphere just now disappeared all of a sudden, "Then I have to tell you......"
"......" Heiliga couldn't cry or laugh, he forgot the last thing he should forget - the favor of this group of Zephyr people! No, not ...... yet."
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that your kid is injured now, I would have to have a good deal with you." Snorting heavily, Garcia said again: "It seems that the head of the regiment has indeed found a good home for Fei." Looking at Fei's puzzled eyes, Garcia smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look at me like that, Fei, you know what I'm talking about." The line of hunters...... There is always a danger to life, and among the people we deal with, there are the most vicious and difficult to deal with. You were young before, so you can leave nothing behind, and Zephyr's strength is not bad, so even on the battlefield can take care of you...... But when you grow up, you will realize how troublesome and difficult it is to do a lot of things that you didn't need to do before...... It wasn't until I came to Rubacher, and together with the president, and came into contact with all kinds of people, that I realized that the world was much wider and more complex. From this point of view, going to an imperial nobleman is really the best choice...... Besides, since he can go out and hang out so casually, he can still have the idea of going to the hunting regiment to have fun and have no scruples...... I don't think it's a big name in business or politics, right? β
"yes...... Just ordinary frontier aristocrats, who, as you say, are not too involved in political and commercial issues. Although you can't live a luxurious life, if you want to, you can live a happy and stable life. β
"So ......"
"But." Helriga accentuated his tone, "Faye is different from ordinary children. The environment in which she grew up has determined that she cannot have the same thinking and habits as ordinary children. Even after half a year since she left the hunting regiment, she still retains a lot of habits that she only has as a hunting soldier, which is something that has been carved into the bone marrow, and it is difficult to change with it. Besides, in any case, she is also an independent and complete person, and she has the right to choose what she wants - and whatever it is, I will firmly support her. β
"Heliga...... Faye said with some emotion, while Garcia sat down on the big sofa: "Alas...... I didn't expect to be dumbfounded by a little ghost...... It's just that you're young people anyway, so you can struggle for yourselves and find your own path. There is a certain helplessness in the tone, but it is also full of a certain expectation.
"Thank you, Garcia." Faye looked at Garcia kindly, a little embarrassed, but in her mind it was still what Helliga had just said.
ββ¦β¦ I'll confirm again. Seeing that Fei was obviously still immersed in the words just now, Garcia's face sank again: "You really didn't make a move on Fei!" β
"Plus...... Garcia! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ-
Happy times for reunions are always short-lived. It didn't take long for Garcia to realize that it was time for President Marconi to return to the headquarters, and he knew that the two of them shouldn't stay any longerβand Arios had apparently been waiting outside for a long time.
"Garcia...... Bye. The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be. I wish you all the best...... I think that everyone who is missing now, and the head of the heavenly kingdom, will also miss you. β
"Heh, sure enough, I've grown up, and even my speech has become delicate and mellow." Garcia pinched Fei's cheek affectionately, "You too, although I'm still a little worried about handing you over to that kid, but I can only believe that you can forge your own way...... The kid over there. When he turned to Helliga, his eyes were still so fierce, "When you come next time, remember to pick a healthy time." I, Killing Bear, will teach you a few tricks. β
"Okay, okay." Heliga was perfunctory on the surface, and at the same time complained in his heart - he couldn't fight him and couldn't use skills such as dragon roar, but under normal conditions, he did have average combat effectiveness - in the face of the former captain of the elite hunting regiment, wasn't he pressed to the ground and rubbed? Besides, the other party is as strong as a cow and has a lot of experience, and he is just a little ghost whose body has not yet grown......
"You're a little slow." Not long after saying goodbye to Garcia, Arios came out of a bar near Rubacher's headquarters, "Almost kept me waiting for an afternoon." Looks like we had a good time, right? β
"Hmm...... Oh, yes. Fei said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Arios. β
"Ah, you're welcome." Arios waved his hand casually.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, for keeping you waiting so long." Heiliga also scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "You have delayed a lot of commissions." β
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's out of the way for an afternoon." Arios said magnanimously, "But I have received a commission here...... It has something to do with you. β
"What commission?"
Crossbell Police Academy student Lloyd Bannings...... I want to have a mock battle with you...... I wonder if you want to say yes? β
