"It's only eighteen?!" Zach and Pheren looked incredulous, "Isn't it......"

"Hey, hey." Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Jiu Ling and Catherine couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How? Didn't expect that, right? However, don't underestimate Alice, although her personality is a bit natural, foodie, and slightly road idiot, her military attainments are far beyond your imagination. She is now Nagisa's exclusive lieutenant, but if something big happens, she has the same say as the knights. Catherine smirked.

"If that's the case, then why is there such a loss this time......" Faeron couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, yes, Alice wasn't involved in this fight." Jiu Ling hurriedly picked up the conversation, "Previously, because Nagisa was studying at the Dark Sanctuary Academy, KingArthur temporarily transferred Alice to the royal capital to assist her in completing various arrangements for daily military affairs. Until the end of this border operation, in order to stabilize the situation on the front line, Saber personally escorted her from the royal capital to the front line by the silver demon in the king's ****, and also brought follow-up supplies of soldiers and materials. ”

"Silver Demon? The legendary general who repeatedly overthrew the rule of the old government? Zach asked.

"That's right, it's him, but it's a pity that Brother Lu can't see him this time. Because after escorting Alice over, he had to rush back to his station to take charge of the local military command. However, he deliberately left some of the soldiers who came with him, including 4,000 mecha troops, which can be regarded as making up for the loss of troops here a little. ”

Fei Lun and Lu Qing nodded, "I see." Do you have anything to say to us? For example, some wartime precautions and so on. ”

"It's nothing, anyway, the relevant wartime regulations have been sent to your respective communicators through the system, so you can take a look at it for yourself when you have time. But I have a piece of advice, that is, don't talk to Alice casually, otherwise, hehe......" Jiu Ling showed a strange sneer, which made Zach and Faeron instantly break out in a cold sweat, and quickly cut off some of their evil thoughts.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Brother Jiuling, we know what to do. Then we'll go back and rest first. Goodbye. After saying that, the two turned their heads and walked away quickly, not even daring to turn their heads back.

"Poofha." Catherine finally couldn't bear it anymore when she saw them leave, and she clutched her stomach and laughed, "Jiuling, you are really bad, they scared you like this on the first day they came, it's really unfriendly!" ”

"Well, how can this be considered scary? What I'm talking about is basically whether the facts are good or not. If anyone messes with her, it's okay if Nagisa doesn't know, Alice's personality is still very friendly, and she usually doesn't do things like making small reports. But if the matter reaches Nagisa's ears, hehe, then there will be a good show. ”

"It's not that serious, if it's a joke or something, Nagisa won't do anything if he knows it, at most he will comfort Alice, and then the matter will be laughed off; But if things go wrong, then ...... Don't say it, don't say it. Catherine stuck out her tongue, "By the way, Nagisa is embarrassed to ask, and he can't ask in front of Alice, so I'll help him say hello: Is there any news from Lotharina lately?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes, but I didn't find a chance to talk to Nagisa alone about that situation just now." Jiu Ling sighed a little helplessly, "Hasn't Linna been traveling back and forth between countries to learn cutting-edge technologies related to the body?" She had already returned from abroad last month. After the Desert Empire declared war on the kingdom, Saber immediately withdrew all the technicians sent abroad, and she was one of the first to be withdrawn. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Catherine frowned, "I'm worried about Nagisa ......"

"You see that, too?" There was also a little worry in Jiu Ling's eyes, "I really don't understand what this kid thinks." It stands to reason that he has lived with Alice for so many years, and it is not impossible to say that he will fall in love for a long time. But I looked at it coldly, and he didn't like Alice like a man and a woman, but more like a family member. He seems to have a special affection for Linna, but he doesn't say anything about it. ”

Catherine shook her head: "No, I don't think Nagisa is the kind of person who will be emotionally ambiguous. I talked to him about this before I left the academy. Although he didn't say why, I always felt that he was worried and even scared of something. Beneath his seemingly perfect exterior, something must be hidden from us. ”

"How is that possible? We grew up together! ”

"Yes, but don't forget, he's been missing for a while. What he did in those years, no one knows. Perhaps, he really has some unspeakable troubles. And I always feel that Saber knows about this, because between her and Nagisa, I feel a very subtle tacit understanding. But she didn't even hide it from me. Catherine let out a long breath, "I only hope that his concealment won't hurt innocent people like Lina and Alice." ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Jiu Ling shook his head, "After all, the eldest lady is not a free and easy person, she can act willfully. If no one takes the initiative to take that step, this kind of thing will only hurt more people. ”

"So the more I look at Alice and Nagisa now, the more worried I become."

"A Lotherina Klein and an Alice Aramis are both famous beauties in the Middle Kingdom, just beautiful and talented, why do they all fall in love with him?"

"Yo, you're jealous."

"How is that possible!" Jiu Ling immediately retorted, "But right now, there is indeed a chance. ”

Catherine immediately understood: "You mean, Niu Gao's upgrade? ”

"That's right. About a month ago, this guy sent me a text message saying that he was going to give his body a big upgrade, and asked me to help him contact the eldest lady to see if she was available to help. Now, I'll find a way to get Lina tomorrow - hey, man, I'm going to have to get you here. ”

"This guy is really ...... Why don't you go and tell the eldest lady yourself, and I want you to tell you. Catherine couldn't complain, "But if you pick her up so suddenly, will Alice ......?"

"After all, they are also good friends, so they will never see each other again? Moreover, the current patriarch of Aramis mentioned in front of Saber repeatedly that Nagisa had reached the age of engagement, and the implication was that Nagisa wanted Nagisa to find the right family as soon as possible to consolidate the family position. Saber remained noncommittal, saying only that he would wait until he came back from graduation. Now that he has returned, if he is undecided, the patriarch of Aramis is likely to ask Saber to marry. ”

"Phew, then we can do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." Catherine sighed, "Forget about the nine spirits, let's not talk about this yet." You invite me to eat, I'm hungry. ”

"How can this be? Did you exploit me when you first came? Jiu Ling hurriedly protested.

"Hey, hey, you're a Knight of the Star Cup. What about your chivalrous demeanor? What about your knightly code? Don't you know that you can't just refuse a lady's request? It's ...... for you to invite me to dinner."

Jiu Ling really couldn't stand her broken thoughts: "Stop! STOP！ Am I wrong? Catherine, please, but at this time, it is wartime, so there is no way to prepare a dinner that is too rich, so please forgive me. ”

"Ah, don't be so formal, just find a place to eat some home-cooked food. I've been in the academy for more than half a year, and although the food is also very good, I still miss the food of our kingdom very much. ”

PS: Chapter 5 (below) may be a little less word-counted.,It's mainly the plot needs.,I hope you'll forgive me.。 However, each large chapter, the upper, middle and lower chapters together will still be guaranteed to be between 7500 and 8500 words
