"I'm ashamed to let you come to the door, I knew that I told Brian to pick you up at the docks. Charlie apologized.

Bruce said coldly, "We didn't come by boat. ”

Charlie asked curiously, "Then how did you get here?" ”

"We're here by airship. Bruce replied and looked at Charlie playfully, observing his reaction.

"Oh! Charlie pursed his lips, and did not look particularly surprised, joking, this level of technology has not stimulated him, the use of machinery on the earth has come far to the forefront of this world, and the floating airship is quite backward in design, bulky, and slow is its biggest weakness.

Qian Xue said with concern: "Brother Charles, aren't you angry at all when your people treat you like that?"

Qian Zhu also said: "Yes! Today, a guy named Fred may have seen the movement of the airship platform and came to receive us, and he was very disgusted with his stinky body. ”

"Their father and son have just taken my father's place and mine, and it's inevitable that it's a little floating. Charlie smiled indifferently and said: "It's his right to expel me, what am I angry about, just find a chance to return it in the future!"

To know a person, you don't necessarily need to be introduced by others, nor do you need to know about his past deeds, the most intuitive and effective way is to listen to him say a few words in person.

Bruce has been observing Charlie's reactions, and various details, tone, demeanor, body language, and temperament can peek into a person's heart in many ways.

Charlie only said a few words, and Bruce felt quite right, "That's right, it seems that you are a very sane person." I've heard that the Pavel family has amazing wealth, how did you feel when you lost these things?"

Along the way, Bruce listened to David tell Charlie's story, and he knew a certain amount about him, especially after learning about his changes in the year, he felt quite surprised.

Before Qianzhu could react, Qianxue's face sank, and she asked, "Brother Bruce, are you asking too many questions!"

"It's okay, we're all friends, and I don't have so many taboos. Charlie smiled and explained: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank them for everything they did at the beginning, if it wasn't for this incident to stimulate me, I wouldn't have awakened my bloodline and made a breakthrough in intelligence and strength, otherwise, maybe what you see today is just as annoying as Fred." ”

"Dare to face the past, it seems that you have indeed let go completely. ”

Charlie smiled in return, "People, there are always times when you are young and frivolous, some memories are too heavy, and you will have a hard time carrying it forward." The funny thing is that you will turn them over from time to time and continue to stimulate yourself, maybe others have long forgotten your past, so why bother yourself? ”

Charlie expounded his own feelings, and Bruce listened to it, and he was fascinated......

Next, Charlie led a group of people to visit William's Castle, and it took more than an hour to return to the Orchid Garden, where Brian had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them.

Sitting in the master's seat, Charlie picked up the wine glass, the blue and black stubble was clearly distinguishable, and at that moment, there was the shadow of a man, which made Brian, who was standing aside, feel a little trance.

"Come, everyone, let's clink glasses and welcome you to Fort Wilhelm, and I hope that your time at Kasbah will be the most memorable time for you. ”

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses and clinked glasses to each other.

Qianxue picked up the wine glass, drank it all, the rapid drinking stimulated her throat, the wine turned up, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were a little blurry, "Brother Charlie, this castle is really beautiful, it is ethereal and lonely, far from the glitz and glitz of the world, but it has not completely flown out of the sky, it is still a land in the world, with its own fireworks, and different from the vulgarity of the outside world, I really like it, I really hope to have the opportunity to live here!"

Qian Xue coldly let out such a large amount of emotion, which made everyone stunned, is this a kind of vague confession? As soon as she finished speaking, she tilted her head and fell drunk on the table, which turned out to be a cup of poured wine.

Wine, as expected, is a good thing, it can force out some things that can't come out under normal conditions.

"Oh!" Ophelia shrugged in surprise and smiled, "Is this a confession?"

Charlie smiled and replied, "I like it here, you can stay as long as you want!"

Qianzhu hurriedly got up, probed her forehead and neck, and muttered: "I should be drunk, my sister is too, I know the amount of wine poured in a glass, and I still want to drink." ”

Ophelia laughed, "Maybe she wants to get herself drunk?

Hmm! It was a funny idea, and the crowd burst into good-natured laughter.

Seeing Charlie in an embarrassing situation, David helped divert the topic, "Boss, this castle is beautiful, but I still think it's too lonely, and the taste of being rejected by the family is not comfortable, right?"

Charlie said in a deep voice: "It's nothing to be rejected, I can endure loneliness, I'm afraid it's not just rejection, some people don't want me to live in this world, and if these people come from within the family, it's very painful." ”

Qianzhu asked, "Then what are your plans? You can't sit still, can you?"

"Prepare with both hands, on the one hand, resources, and on the other hand, strength. In terms of resources, I plan to do a business with the teacher, but it is still in the preparation stage, out of business secrets, I can't reveal more, I hope to grab some personal capital through this business, get rid of the dependence on the family, in terms of strength, I have some arrangements for the cultivation of my own strength, in addition, I am still thinking about building a team of my own, just ask you, is there any way to quickly obtain the qualification of the 'Pioneer Knight'?" Taking advantage of this opportunity, Charlie asked the question buried in his heart.

Qian Qi paused and responded, "The qualification of the pioneer knight is a relatively sensitive resource for the empire, you should be able to understand that those in power are very wary of some civilian private armed forces beyond a certain limit of power, which is also to learn some lessons from the previous dynasty, so there are so many restrictive clauses, and the city defense forces of major cities are a clear example."

So, trust is the biggest problem, and if you can solve the trust problem, this qualification is almost at your fingertips, and the quickest way is to 'marry', if you can marry a family in the inner circle of the empire's political circle, you can get this qualification immediately, regardless of whether you have a knighthood or not. ”

As he spoke, Qianzhu deliberately glanced at the drunk Qianxue and threw Charlie a meaningful look.

This is quite obvious, the qualification is here, it depends on whether you are willing to accept its provies, in fact, this is a great thing for many people, to make Fred face this choice, he almost does not hesitate, and is even willing to pay a considerable price for it.

Charlie asked, "Is there any other way besides this method?"

Qian Jue glanced at Bruce, who took over, "Another way is to take the orthodox means, join the army, serve for at least eight years, obtain at least three first-class merits, give up all military merits, and ask for the qualification of a knight."

Then, the military will start a review process to review your past performance, your character and your past history, and even some of the experiences of the previous three generations of your family, whether you have committed crimes, whether you have committed anti-imperial behavior, whether your relatives have criminal records, and so on.

This review process usually lasts one to two years, which means that if everything goes well, it will take you ten years to qualify as a 'Pioneer Knight'. ”

The contrast in difficulty is quite obvious, let alone ten years, three years is unacceptable time for Charlie, because those people would never give him such a long time to grow.

Charlie smirked, "Neither way is easy!"

"Yes!" Chiki sighed.

It's really not easy, even if Charlie is willing to accept Qianxue, then he has to pass the pass of their family, but it's not that Qianqi's brothers and sisters support this matter, they can easily succeed, people in the core political circle attach great importance to the marriage of their heirs, and many times it is a political resource that cannot be easily wasted.

At the end of dinner, everyone was arranged in their guest rooms in the Orchid Garden.

Qianzhu and Ophelia sent Qianxue to the room, but when they saw that she suddenly came to her senses, they asked, "Brother, why do you say that it is so difficult to obtain the qualification of a pioneer knight, why do you want to deceive Charlie?"

Qianju was slightly stunned, and it took a long time to react, "You little ghost, you are pretending to be drunk!"

Qian Xueqiao's face was slightly red, and there was still a smell of alcohol on her body, "What about you? Answer my question first! Why don't you want to help Brother Charlie?"

Qian Jue paused, and said in a deep voice: "He didn't pay anything, why should I help him?

Qianxue trembled slightly, clearly blaming her brother, and asked rhetorically: "Aren't you and him the best brothers? Why are you so stingy? Is the brotherly relationship all fake?"

Qianju sighed: "My silly sister! Brother is helping you! Don't you see the attitude of this guy Charlie? He is impeccable in all other aspects, and he is a good friend and brother worthy of deep friendship."

However, he has been avoiding you, I don't know what he thinks, I don't know why he is unwilling to accept such a good thing, since he has this attitude, we can't give him this thing easily.

Moreover, I didn't lie to him! Every word I said to him today is true, it is so difficult to obtain the qualification of a pioneer knight through orthodox channels, you don't think how easy it is to obtain the canonization of a pioneer knight, it is because of my father that it makes complicated things simple.

Actually, the meaning I expressed today is very clear, if he wants to use our channels, it is very simple, just try to become our 'own people', and he also understands this, so he did not continue this topic, maybe ...... He has his own considerations!"
