Chapter 48: Returning Home (3/3)
In November 1508, Nikola Tesla, who returned from the Great Voyage, and the Red Banner · X. Drake has finally returned to the North Sea Division of the Navy.
No one knows what happened that day, no one knows why Tesla was taken to the Supreme Commander's Office as soon as he returned to the branch base, and no one knows why all the sailors who participated in that operation, even the Captain Navy, showed a respectful attitude towards Tesla.
All in all, for the Navy, they welcomed two special recruits; The best news for the pirates is that the purgatory passenger ship roaming the North Sea seems to have disappeared quietly.
But for Tesla, he is in real trouble at the moment.
Drake looked at Tesla, who was in a hurry and at a loss, with an unbearable smile on his face, and finally held back his laughter.
Who would have thought that the guy who used the most violent means to terrify the pirates of the entire North Sea would actually be defeated in front of a petite and cute little Lori.
9527 Branch of the North Sea Division of the Navy.
Holding the black and white cat Xiaonin, who is no longer a milk cat, the little Lori Xiaobud who was rescued by Tesla, after three years, gradually grew up, no longer a Lori, but a, uh, big Lori.
Time is indeed the most terrible and unforgiving thing in the world.
Xiao Ya, who was eager to stick to Tesla's side all the time, now hugged one of Canty's hands tightly, staring at Tesla timidly, obviously afraid to approach him.
Tesla, which has experienced countless life-and-death struggles, can basically maintain a calm state no matter what happens, but at this moment it is obviously nervous.
Especially when he saw the slightly frightened look in Xiao Ya's eyes, an inexplicable frustration suddenly rose in his heart.
What Tesla never expected was that in this very embarrassing situation, it was the black and white cat Xiaoren who was tightly held in Xiaoya's arms who broke the game.
Maybe it was because Xiao Ya was hugged too tightly and wanted to jump out to stretch his body, or maybe there was some other reason, anyway, Xiao Ren struggled a little in Xiao Ya's arms and ran down.
"Meow ......" After Xiao Shinobi, who fell to the ground, let out a lazy sound, his limbs opened slightly, and his body pressed down, as if he was stretching his body that was curled up in Xiao Ya's arms to a little uncomfortable.
"Little Ninja ......" looked at the cat's sudden staring, and Xiao Ya shouted at the cat in a crisp voice.
The cat looked back at his owner, and after making a lazy cat meow again, he slowly walked to Tesla's feet, sniffed, and then crawled along Tesla's pants all the way to Tesla's shoulder in Xiaoya's curious eyes, spit out his pink little tongue and licked Tesla's face, and then lay on Tesla's body.
After such a small episode, Xiaoya soon began to stick to her big brother Tesla as she did when she was a child.
Because no one knows her proud kitten better than Little Bud.
The entire 9527 branch, except for Xiao Ya herself and Canty, even Jie who often comes to accompany her, don't want Xiao Ren to make such an intimate action.
The only person who can make Xiao Ren feel this kind of attachment is the original big brother Tesla.
At first, Xiao Ren didn't dare to approach Tesla, except for time reasons, and more importantly, because compared with her big brother Tesla in her memory, Tesla has changed too much now.
Whether it's height or appearance......
"Big brother, you also deceived Xiao Ya......" Because the sense of estrangement brought by time was eliminated by Xiao Ren, the little elf, even Xiao Ya, who has become a big Lori, still holds Tesla's hand and says coquettishly.
Of course, Tesla knew what Xiao Ya's deception was, but he didn't expect that he would spend three full years of training on Mr. Zefa's side, plus most of the half year of the classified training camp, almost four years had passed.
Kissed Xiao Ya's forehead, put his face against Xiao Ya's face, and felt the warmth and healing brought by Xiao Ya, Tesla didn't intend to explain anything, but admitted his mistake very neatly.
Under Drake's stunned witness, Tesla made a lot of unequal treaties, which finally amused Xiaoya.
After finally getting Xiaoya to go, and then watching Jay take her to study, Tesla had a chance to talk to Captain Canty, oh no, Canty, who is now a major.
"Sister Canty, recruit Nikola Tesla is back! By the way, I helped you kidnap and bring back a super strong person! Tesla smiled and gestured to Drake with his eyes.
"Recruit Red Banner · X. Drake, reporting to you, Major Canty. Compared with Tesla's impropriety, Drake is obviously much more disciplined.
Canty was naturally very welcoming to Drake's arrival.
In particular, in the entire training camp, except for Tesla, that is, Drake was the most outstanding.
However, when it comes to distant relatives, Canty's relationship with Tesla is obviously not comparable to Drake's.
Therefore, after a few words of greeting in a more official atmosphere, Drake went back to the dormitory first, leaving only Canty and Tesla.
After Drake left, Canty took off his sunglasses, then extinguished the cigar in his mouth, stared into Tesla's eyes and said word by word, "You need to explain something to me!" Follow me! With that, Candy turned and walked towards his office.
Tesla, who looked confused and didn't know what was going on, could only obediently obey and follow Canty into her office.
……
That afternoon, Canty had said something to Tesla, and no one knew about it except the two of them.
However, after Tesla left Candy's office, he first went to the dormitory to talk to Drake for a while, and then went to Xiaoya to spend a pleasant evening with her, and finally left the 9527 branch on a Navy warship at night.
Standing on the deck of a warship, looking at the crescent moon hanging high in the air, Tesla felt a little melancholy in his heart.
The coastline, which could be clearly seen by the moonlight, now disappeared from the end of sight as the warships departed.
Similarly, some things, for some unavoidable reasons, were also chosen to give up by Tesla.
Sighing silently, Tesla appeared on the lookout with a moonshot step.
In the North Sea at night, the wind and waves are calm, except for the sound of warships and the sound of rolling waves, the whole world seems to fall into boundless silence.
I don't know how long it took, but Tesla, who was standing on the observation deck, seemed to see the horizon in the distance.
A heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
Non-Chieftain, I'm back!
