Chapter IX: The Conferment Ceremony (I)

"And what was the outcome of your discussion with Saber?" Alice asked, tilting her head.

"Optical camouflage is in hand, this is already a miracle of dark chess. With this information, we will be able to treat others in the same way as others, and we can even mislead the enemy in the reverse direction - it is not in vain that we paid so much sacrifice in the first border encounter. Nagisa touched his chin, "As for the recent data transmission, according to the previous efficiency, it should be able to be completed within half a month, right?" But judging from the second half of this news, it seems that there are some more interesting situations. ”

"Huh?" The Moe King has already sent someone to set off, so do you need to be careful? 'Who do you think the Emperor will send?' ”

"On this point, I got word from Saber after contacting her - this time the Moe King sent the sun god and the god of dance, of course, this is only on the surface. Secretly, it seems that a member of a mysterious department directly belonging to the Emperor of Heaven himself has been sent to be able to do it. It seems that the Emperor of Heaven still can't change that problem, and his suspicion is too serious. ”

"The sun god and the god of dance? Aha, those two people you know in the academy, and the dancing god seems to like sticking to you......" Alice smirked.

"Oh, my Alice is very well investigated. What, jealous? Don't worry, in my heart, Shirley's little girl is just a little sister, and she can't be compared to Alice anyway. Nagisa thought for a moment and continued, "Alice, you are not only my sister, but also my right-hand man. ”

Alice's expression darkened, but she immediately covered it up: "Hmph, Evans, you villain, you think of good things in your head." But she seems to be smaller than me, and she must not be as good as me, hmph, she won't pose any threat to me. If you really like it, it's okay to recognize her, anyway, she has to call me sister, and I won't suffer. ”

"Huh? Alice is so open-minded. Nagisa clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, I'll take her to our house too, and when the war is over, I'll find a good husband for both of you in the kingdom, so that you can be good sisters for life, how about it?" ”

"Think beautifully! You can get her over first, you're in a hostile relationship now. Alice gestured and snorted, "Okay Evans, don't make a fuss, what are we going to do next?" ”

"Well, the current situation is that the Emperor of Heaven is suspicious of Shouhe and Shirley, but he is not sure, so he sent the two of them to the front line, wanting to take this opportunity to verify their loyalty. In order to prevent accidents, the Emperor sent his direct henchmen out to spy on them - that ......" Nagisa suddenly thought of something, and lowered his voice as if talking to himself, "Wait, if you want to say that, wouldn't the Emperor send the two of them out for another purpose...... Alice, it's almost time to get off work, you can go back to the apartment by yourself, I have something to do with Saber immediately! ”

"Okay, then Evans should hurry up, remember to go home and make food for others later, hehe." Alice made a mischievous face at him.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Be careful on the road. ”

Nagisa saw Alice leave, and immediately took out the encrypted private communication device from the mind storage system and dialed Saber's contact number: "KingArthur, it's me...... Yes, there is something that must be reported to you, it is about the ...... of dark chess"

Saber didn't know what to say on the other end, and Nagisa breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, then don't worry too much about it for the time being." However, I think that the progress of the plan should be accelerated, otherwise sooner or later there will be variables. Also, you guy, do you really want to hold a conferral ceremony? - What, still in the city of Tolamba? More than half of the Knights of the Star Cup will be in attendance? Hey, hey, saber...... Oh, well, you said so, what else can I do, you can let Jiu Ling do the preparations for the ceremony, I'm very busy here...... Okay, that's it, hang up. ”

Nagisa hung up the communication and suddenly smiled: "Since our knight king is not in a hurry, then do I still need to that heart?" Let's hope everything goes well. Alright, it's time to get dinner for Alice. Hmm, what are you going to do today? Why not have some of Alice's favorite herb basil chicken steak and serve it with a vegetable salad? Nagisa thought as he locked the office door and walked towards the apartment.

On the other side, Jiu Ling jumped up from the office chair as if he had been burned by fire: "What, the conferral ceremony?!" Hey, Saber, can you be considerate of your subordinates? That guy Evans is so busy with his bull high upgrade that all the work is piled up on my side, I'm already too busy, so don't find anything for me to do anymore! ”

"Yes, you told us before! But we all thought you were just talking...... I didn't mean that, but after all, this is a special time...... Such a large-scale investiture ceremony is taking place on the front line, and more than half of the Star Cup Knights will be in attendance, Saber, are you stimulated or impulsive? ”

In the next second, Jiu Ling suddenly stretched out his arm holding the communicator as far as possible, but the roar of a lion was still faintly heard from the communicator. It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no sound in the communicator that Jiu Ling trembled and put the communicator back to his ear: "Yes, yes, yes, since KingArthur is fully prepared, then I don't have to worry, I just need to urge the relevant personnel to complete all the preparations for the ceremony before the specified date, right?" Understood, I will definitely complete the task on time. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ah, yes, the eldest lady has already set off from the royal capital, and it is estimated that she will be there the day after tomorrow...... Phew, we've done our best...... Oh? Interesting, the little brother actually thinks so? Ha ha...... Well, then I'll wait to see the show. ”

After saying that, Jiu Ling also cut off the communication, and the tense nerves finally relaxed, and he sat down on the chair with a sigh of relief.

"Alas, our new KingArthur is really bold - but it's okay, I haven't seen those knights for a while, so let's just have a big party this time, just let the soldiers and the people relax a little, after all, they are always in such a state of high tension, and sooner or later there will be problems."

Thinking of this, Jiu Ling called the adjutant in and gave such and such an order.

"Yes! The subordinates immediately went to do it. If the general had nothing else to explain, his subordinates retired. Jiu Ling nodded slightly, so the adjutant saluted, turned around and walked out of the office.

"I'm really looking forward to it." Jiu Ling seemed to be talking to himself, and continued to deal with the mountain of official documents on his desk.

Although it was wartime and the city of Tolamba was the closest city to the front, the lives of its inhabitants were not disrupted. At this time, the various markets in the civilian area are still full of people, the shouts of small vendors, the shouts of vegetable and meat sellers, and the sound of customers and vendors haggling one after another. It will even give people the illusion that it is still singing and dancing, quiet and peaceful.

"Dilson, how's business going today?" The customer who came to buy seemed to be an old acquaintance with the vendor named Dilson, and they chatted enthusiastically as soon as they met.

"Not bad! Although the distribution of goods has been affected by some wars, it is not a problem to make ends meet, and besides, it doesn't matter if you lose your capital, didn't the royal government have already promulgated wartime regulations? If the economic losses caused by the war are borne by the kingdom's treasury, everyone is not too worried. With that, Dilson dragged a whole fan of pork onto the board and raised the boning knife to chop it vigorously.

"That is, our KingArthur is really a master, he has only been on the throne for a year, and the whole kingdom has taken on a new look." The customer nodded in agreement, his tone full of pride.

"Hey, we're not like sir, who has the opportunity to walk around the kingdom - what are you doing today?"

"I had to run around for businessβ€”that's what I wanted." The man picked out the ribs he wanted and asked Dilson to wrap them for him, "By the way, speaking of which, it's been rare to see that little guy from your family come over to help lately." ”

"My son Rainnes, you say? A while ago, the kingdom organized a test for joining the army, and it was necessary to recruit outstanding talents from it to serve in the army. When the little guy heard the news, he couldn't sit still, so he immediately signed up and ran home to review. But you also know that this kid is still studying very well. This is not the official day of the test, yesterday he went to stay with his uncle in TechnoAlpin City in advance so that he could take today's test. ”
