Chapter 286: A Good Life II
The maid who is a full-time clerk prepares the reply document according to the new format, slowly pulls the thumb of Lord Jiao Ming and dips it in red clay, and then gently prints it on the signature column on the document, and then wipes her fingertips with a handkerchief and plumps her lips to dry the red ink on the paper, and then turns around and goes out.
However, Evan was not a talkative boss, so he soon came in person, and as soon as he entered, he waved his hand and threw out the scantily clad maids in the room, leaving only the maid Chang Dieda, who was counted as a translator, and the maid Chang Luohua, who was not in his charge.
Lord Jiao Ming was still lying on the table, squinting at his boss, and said with a smile: "I remember that you kid is quite colorful, why don't you like this? Every time I come, I pick people up, do you know that I can't see my thighs and feel uncomfortable??, as the so-called emperor is not a hungry soldier, he wants the horses to run and doesn't give the horses grass, where is there such a beautiful thing in the world." Isn't it one of the lord's compulsory courses to consider the mood of your subordinates, just look at your expression and know that you haven't learned, so there is a problem with your noble education, and you don't teach such an important thing......"
As he spoke, he sat up, Lord Jiao Ming shook his head slightly, with a deliberate expression of regret, as if he was not facing a top boss at this time, but a weak and incompetent junior who lacked a tutor.
"Don't waste time on nonsense, I'm here to get down to business. After a few words, Evan, who was provoked by a few words, tried to maintain an elegant demeanor.
"Do you want to change people?" Master Jiao Ming put on a mocking smile: "Who to change? Is it okay to change your classmate Jiao Ming? Otherwise, I should have reminded that stupid boy, hey, what are you doing staring? It's useless to stare at you. Or if I'm talking, it means that the boss doesn't have time to see you, and it's annoying for you to be embarrassed to take out this kind of, and you should know with your toes that the boss won't care about this kind of thing. Oh...... You wait. ”
Speaking of this, Lord Jiao Ming rolled his eyes again and made a look of listening intently, and then said to Evan in great astonishment: "I actually agreed!"
"Really?" Evan frowned in doubt, after all, with his knowledge of the 'Silent Man's personality', it was to be expected that he would not bother to pay attention to the crucial conditions until he heard about them.
"It was your classmate Jiao Ming who agreed. Master Jiao Ming's face was filled with a smile again, and Evan just twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't respond. Of course, if you go to the advanced magic academy of the Blue Python Kingdom to participate in the competition, you will meet the ice lotus, and it is normal for Jiao Ming, a weak personality who can only be a spectator, to agree at this time.
"It's a shame that I can't bluff you. It turns out that I also planned to take a look at your expression after being played, and when I was in a happy mood, I might be able to go and play with you. As long as the two of us show the ring number level on the field, wow~!" Lord Jiao Ming shouted, and at the same time raised his arms to make an exaggerated explosion, "I have five rings of qi and six rings of water, and you have five rings of water and seven rings of fire, so you can scare off the opponent without using your hands at all." It's said that a nameless passerby character in his student days, after disappearing for half a year, he returned to his alma mater to kill all sides, and then received a wave of girls, this is simply a royal routine, think about it, there is still a little expectation, not good, not good, if you think about it, maybe you don't need to persuade me, I will take the initiative to go out and pretend to be 13 waves. ”
Resisting the urge to slam the door away, when this section was over, Evan said: "I've thought about it carefully these days, in this generation, there are many abilities that are quite good, if you roughly make a ranking, the young lord of the crocodile leader, Ice Lotus, can definitely enter the top ten, plus the talent of the water magic warrior, his life is worry-free, and when he takes power in a few decades, he should be able to enter the top five." ”
"What do you mean? want to marry her? Great, I'll approve of it with both hands and feet!" Master Jiao Ming smiled and lay back on the table, really raising his limbs, like a shelled turtle.
"No, no, no, I mean, although there is some misunderstanding, but as you said: it is better to settle the grievance than to be the enemy, and it is better to be her friend. A smile finally appeared on Evan's face, only because the smile on Lord Jiao Ming's face disappeared, which was undoubtedly a turning point in grasping the initiative.
"Hey, hey, it's dangerous for you to make a statement! Are you trying to betray me and sell me back?"
"You're a big living person, and with qi magic, who can catch you. Evan smiled sincerely, and after seeing Lord Jiao Ming nodding, he continued: "What are you planning, it's obvious, although you don't know the specific goal or timetable, you seem to be in a hurry." ”
Lord Jiao Ming raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, but tilted his head as if to speak to the transparent person hiding behind him: "Hey, boss, do you know too much about this thing, do you want to kill it, but I don't seem to be able to beat him, what should I do?"
"There's no need to perform, you don't care about these things at all, just listen quietly. This sentence was obviously said to the 'mad personality' who was in power at this time, and Evan's eyes moved, and Butterfly, who had been standing on the side for a long time, immediately moved a chair and placed it behind him. Evan sat down calmly before continuing: "As I said earlier, I've been thinking a lot about it these days, and the core question is what I really want.
Changing the fate of exile with a safe environment?
I really want to dominate the mainland, but it is a long-term goal. After all, I'm still young, and although the situation is good, there are many internal problems waiting to be solved, and this game can be played slowly.
As for the possibility of being beaten back to its original form as you mentioned last time, it does exist, but it is obviously not an imminent crisis. This is not to regret the Ming canonical punishment of the Nine Rings powerhouse, this matter has brought me a lot of benefits.
So my conclusion is that there is no need for 'my' tro to go on at 'your' pace. And if you want to continue with the original plan, it is best to make some contributions, such as this branch school issue. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll leave directly?, looking for other kingdoms?" Lord Jiao Ming's serious expression seemed to have changed his personality.
"I was scared some time ago. Evan is quite calm, and such a simple acknowledgment of fear is a quality that is rare for men of this age. "But as I learned more about the industrial zone, the more I understood the importance of the number of people. After such a long period of absorption, there are not many magic craftsmen left in the rest of the country, and they simply can't support another industrial zone. ”
Lord Jiao Ming raised his hands, applauded lightly, and praised: "Clever! What about the other two theocratic states?"
"The situation on both sides is more complicated, and under the constraints of various doctrines, development is more hindered, and I bet you won't go. And I need to remind you that I originally needed you, but now you need me, and even if you leave now, I have nothing to lose. The dominant position of the Tro Leader will not change, and I will still be the winner in the game of continental hegemony after all. ”
Lord Jiao Ming listened quietly, and did not show a panicked look as Evan hoped, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Come prepared." ”
"So about the competition of the High School of Magic......"
"Conditions?"
"Soldier Folke. ”
"Then I'll play with you. ”
Evan finally showed a victor-like smile, and reminded before going out: "Regarding the attitude of the young lord of the Ice Lotus of the Crocodile Leader, what I just said is also the truth, and soon the Tro Leader will establish friendly diplomatic relations with the Crocodile Leader. As for your own personality issues, we will not provide any assistance unless you demonstrate other values. After all, I also have a teacher-student relationship with him, a friendship between classmates, and I am very unhappy to disturb his marriage, and it is unbearable to help you lock him up again. ”
"Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge? is very statesmanlike, plus three points. ”
"Just offer a more reasonable wage. Evan nodded and left.
"What should I do? Boss, is my maid group about to disband? And this big house, hundreds of times bigger than my old house on Earth, is going to move out? But I'm used to living there! If I go back to a small room with a ceiling of less than two meters and a half, I'm going to get depressed. ”
... The economic crisis will make him obedient, and the real enemy will make him kneel back...
In Dieda's opinion, after Evan left, Master Jiao Ming said a few words to himself in a panic, and then raised a mysterious smile and couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, of course it's okay, my boss has already figured out a way to deal with Evan's, though I don't know what it is. ”
Before lunch, the details of the competition with the qualification for the construction of the branch of the Advanced Magic Academy as the final reward were placed on the desk of Lord Jiao Ming. And just glanced at the first page, Lord Jiao Ming was dizzy by the full text, and had no choice but to throw it to Dieda to listen to.
First of all, the contestant must be a current student, which is why Evan came to the door. Evan is on suspension, while Jiao Ming is too lazy to go through the formalities and is in a state of 'truancy', but theoretically he is also eligible to compete. And this competition, the biggest opponent on the surface is the crocodile leader, after all, not long ago, Binglian has officially been inaugurated as the president of the student union, and he knows the advantages and disadvantages of the students in the entire academy well. As for the secretly, no one can predict what the situation can turn into for the sake of the right to build a branch school, and the few kingdoms that have no lower limit on their own means.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that because of the suspension of foreign wars, the aristocratic students in Huapao are no longer 'protons', the binding force of the academy on them has been reduced, and the pressure from Vice President Sassu has also been greatly reduced, so the original team in the competition was broken up and changed to a voluntary group to voluntarily sign up.
However, in this way, it makes the fight more exciting, after all, the end is full of fighting spirit. At the same time, the strategists who started in the student council have also spread, and collecting information about opponents and using them to develop tactics for their own teams is only the basics, and even doubles as coaches, psychological counselors, and logistics officers, which are more busy than the players on the field.
After such a long time of competition, on the basis of Jiao Ming's suggestion at the beginning, after the discussion and attempt of a group of smart people, the competition system has gradually improved. The latest version of the competition system is as follows, divided into two divisions, Huapao and Gray, and each division is divided into two levels, with ten teams in Division A, and there is no upper limit on the number of Divisions. When the two divisions compete for the top eight, the 16 teams will be randomly matched to determine the champion in a knockout round under the witness of the principal.
According to Evan's plan, the newly formed halfway team will start from the qualifying tournament of the second division team in the aristocratic division, and win more than a dozen games in a row to win the right to build a branch school.
"Sounds a little exciting. ”
"Lord Evan will be glad you have that. Butterfly smiled as she set aside the finished paperwork.
"Have we all got the team together? Evan is so important, it shouldn't be that he hasn't gathered enough manpower, right?"
"Because we value it, we have to be selective. Butterfly picked up another document unhurriedly and muttered a few names for the candidacy. "Want to hear more?"
"Of course not, let's talk about the specific time. Lord Jiao Ming touched his stomach again, and reminded Luo Hua, who had been standing behind him like a vase: "It's time to eat, hurry up and start eating, you don't want to starve this body." Then he turned his head and asked Dieda in a joking tone: "There is no such clause in the document as 'no meal until you finish reading', right?"
"Not really, sir. Dieda smiled slightly. Luo Hua didn't want to answer, but after glaring at Lord Jiao Ming hatefully, she still began to set the table to prepare lunch. While the maids were serving, Butterfly read the schedule of the fight, and added at the end: "The winning team will play a battle with the team of the master-apprentice inheritance faction as a school team." ”
"Haven't played this yet?" Lord Jiao Ming said in surprise, remembering that in the autumn, the team for the competition was almost decided.
"This will be the fourth from the time you and Lord Evan enroll. ”
"How fast, what is the result?" Jiao Ming was surprised from the other direction.
"The second and third games were both disastrous victories, and they were all gray-robed students. ”
"Hehe, those noble lords' faces must be very good-looking. I will go to the intelligence department to rummage through it, and I will see if there is any news that the aristocratic family will not beat the younger generations to death. Lord Jiao Ming was eating, but he still couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Yes, sir. ”
This matter came to an end, and in the afternoon, Lord Jiao Ming took a few maids who were shivering in the cold winter wind because of their cool clothes to the depths of the industrial zone, the most strictly kept secret: the Tro Ling Mofa Research Center. This is a gathering of elites from all walks of life in the kingdom union at this time, and it is not the same as the grass platform team that was set up in the crocodile at the beginning, but because of the rigidity of thinking, the research results are not satisfactory.
After all, Master Jiao Ming, as a traverser, could not lead the research direction, and could only solve some small problems by offering rewards, and I have to say that Evan was a little angry in this regard after all.
And what Lord Jiao Ming came to accept today is still very rudimentary, that is, the ammeter. At the beginning, in order to measure accurately, I struggled with my brains and used mechanical methods to do it, but the accuracy was also limited, and the measurement object was limited. It wasn't until the end of Jiao Ming's inner 'coup' that the silent personality released a lot of knowledge, but in terms of measurement, using the ammeter as the basis and metal components sensitive to various external conditions can directly improve the accuracy and breadth of measurement.
