Chapter 11 Dismount?
The sea breeze, seagulls, and the ever-changing sea level are the most common sights in the Castle, and the only thing left in the Castle is the metallic buildings and a few trees......
"But...... This place looks really tattered...... "It's definitely dilapidated, but it's still a little too much to say that Ye Yu is in tatters...... You must know that as a once abandoned town guard, most of the buildings on this island have long been destroyed by time, and it is not easy for Wu Ji to restore this place to a barely visible appearance in just a few years.
You must know that the front-line positions such as the town guard mansion are all built with steel structures, and the best defense capability is the only requirement for the town guard mansion to achieve the best defense capability as quickly as possible, after all, on the front line of entanglement with the enemy, God knows when it will encounter an attack from the deep sea...... Those guys who can't communicate at all, but they wash the floor with cannonballs at every turn.
But for this world, steel is not only a strategic material, but also a necessary resource for cultivating ship mothers, probably the most expensive resource in addition to the most scarce aluminum, just repairing such a small town guard mansion has made Wu Ji tighten his belt...... Even so, the current town guard mansion in Ye Yu looks not much different from the abandoned gathering point in the last days, after all, most of the steel used here is recycled after scrapping, and the rust does not look good......
"Where are there tattered, the Admiral's town guard mansion is quite beautiful!" Xi Yu, who took Ye Yu back to her home to guard the mansion with her, retorted quite clearly, in her eyes, the town guard mansion where she was the commander was in was her home, and no matter how shabby it looked, no one else was allowed to slander it...... Not even Ye Chan!
Due to the entrustment of the proprietress, Xi Yu took Ye Yu back to his town guard mansion after working overtime and finishing the work ahead of schedule, along with the diamonds that Zhu Yu had earned from Ye Yu by selling intelligence...... Of course, Xi Yu thought that what he helped bring back was only some souvenirs and the like, otherwise this girl would be strange if she was not suspicious and suspicious all the way......
"Yes...... yes" Ye Yu said perfunctorily in his mouth, after all, he really couldn't see anything good about this kind of military camp...... For people who are accustomed to seeing flowers, birds, and moons, it is really difficult to accept this angular layout for a while, and it is too tough and direct things, Ye Yu can only feel strength from it, not beauty......
As the small sampan that the two of them were riding slowly approached the embankment of the town guard mansion, Ye Yu also saw the two ship ladies who came to greet him and Xi Yu. Judging purely from the figure, those two are probably battle columns or battle patrols, in short, they look much more mature than Greek language.
"Sister Liyu ~~ Sister Aoi Yu ~~" Before the sampan fully reached the shore, Xi Yu, who had not seen his relatives for a long time, jumped down from the direct boat and stepped on the water that was up to his knees and threw himself towards the two, "I miss you so much~~"
Even if she is the ship's mother, she is still just a child. In order to sharpen herself, she had to go to the Governor's Mansion alone or something, and it was really harsh to say it, so it was natural that she would love her family...... But I think it's probably because of her attachment to the town guard mansion that this girl will choose to hone herself desperately to exercise the strength to defend everything.
Ye Yu, who was standing on the sampan, shook his head and smiled imperceptibly, and waited for the family to get close to each other before he stepped forward to say hello to the two ship girls.
"Eh, you're the kid that Greek mentioned in the letter~~ It looks like ...... Kindness. It's not cute at all! "The one who is called Aoi is more lively in comparison, and of course it is okay to say that it is noisy. After seeing Ye Yu like this, she immediately ran over and leaned down, put her two hands on Ye Yu's shoulders, and began to look at him carefully with burning eyes......
"Aoi language! You're so rude like this! Liyu, who looked the most eldest sister among the three people, pulled Kwai Yu away helplessly, and then turned her head and smiled apologetically at Ye Yu, "I'm sorry...... Aoi Yu, she usually looks like this, please don't mind......"
"Sister!" Probably because I felt that it was a little difficult to talk about being taught by my sister in front of outsiders, anyway, Aoi Yu was slightly dissatisfied in her tone when she spoke...... And Xi Yu, who saw this scene, couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker.
"Did I say something wrong?" Li Yu slapped his sister on the shoulder lightly, "Or did you forget that this Mr. Ye Yu is a guest of the Admiral, how can anyone treat guests like you?" I'm not afraid of losing the face of the Admiral......"
At the mention of the Admiral, Aoi Yu, who originally wanted to say more, suddenly closed his mouth...... However, the eyes that looked at Ye Yu were still full of resentment.
"Alright, alright. This Mr. Ye Yu ...... Admiral, she is already waiting for you in the dojo, please come with me. ”
"Dojo? Is there any such place to entertain guests? Or ......" Thinking of the purpose of his coming here and Wu Ji's statement that he didn't like Europeans at all, Ye Yu couldn't help but show a wry smile at the corner of his mouth...... "Hey, get off the horse or something......
—————————— Dividing Line ——————————
It is said to be a dojo, but for this dilapidated town guard, there is not so much money to build a qualified training ground, and if it is eroded by the sea breeze, the wooden dojo may also need to be repaired quite frequently...... Who would have wasted so much time on this frontier, so the gym that Wu Ji had worked so hard to build was just a relatively empty big house in the end, with the floor and walls all made of steel plates. This means that if you fall, it will hurt a lot......
"You are Ye Yu?" When the group arrived at this so-called dojo, a woman named Takehime was sitting there cross-legged. Maybe it's because of a rigorous enough training that her face looks slightly flushed, but her breathing is not chaotic at all, as if she has been fully trained.
After seeing Ye Yu and them coming in, Wu Ji immediately set her eyes on Ye Yu...... Speaking of which, she doesn't want to waste her time on this son-in-law at all. But neither the letter from Zhu Yu nor the twenty bags of diamonds gave her no reason to refuse, at least if it was perfunctory.
And after seeing Ye Yu himself, she became even more determined in her own idea, for Wu Ji, who was from a famous family, as long as she looked at it, she could quite clearly distinguish the sense of grace that Ye Yu brought from her every move. This is the result of a strict etiquette education that can only be possessed by a noble family from an early age, and in peacetime, such behavior may have given him a lot of points, but now it is a war age!
At such a moment when you may be attacked and killed at any time, is it possible to waste precious time on such a useless little white face? Besides, at this age, I want to blend in the navy or something. How could there be any frontal combat power? Presumably trying to gain some political fame through this? For these aristocratic newborn guys, Wu Ji has always been the most malicious to guess.
And when the other party looked at herself, Ye Yu also secretly commented in her heart about the guy in front of her who was not outstanding in talent but still climbed to the top position of the young generation of the Pacific Front with his hard work, "En...... It feels like it's not too much like Yiji.,It's also a soldier and the same good at martial arts.。 The muscles are tight but not bloated, and there is a thick layer of cocoons at the tiger's mouth, which is probably made with a knife? But she seems to be so hostile to me......"
However, the two of them have defined each other in their own hearts, and just as Wu Ji doesn't like Ye Yu's aristocratic style at all, Ye Yu actually has no way to take Samurai Ji and Knight Ji, after all, they give people a stubborn feeling from their professions, but Ye Yu is not a tough person, so when the two meet, it is difficult to reach a consensus.
"I'm Ye Yu......" Facing Wu Ji's question, Ye Yu nodded as an answer.
"Then you must have heard it from Miss Zhuyu, if you want to become my apprentice, you must pass the test I set, otherwise I will not accept it no matter what you do." Wu Ji's tone was hard, obviously she was a little too lazy to deal with even the perfunctory work, probably she had already decided that Ye Yu would definitely lose the election.
"Apprentice? No, no, no...... I think you misunderstood, I'm just here to ask for cooperation. Ye Yu shrugged his shoulders and retorted categorically, he had never considered it when he lived under people, and his statement was a little unbelievable in Wu Ji's opinion, so that the expression on this woman's face turned cold, "Okay, okay, I know that I really don't have any sincerity when I say this, so I might as well make a bet~~"
As he spoke, Ye Yu slightly let out a trace of breath and locked on to the woman in front of him, and Ye Yu, who was originally harmless to humans and animals, immediately became as terrifying as a beast in her eyes...... That feeling Takehime had only encountered when facing the deep sea......
"Now, since your name is Wu Ji, you must be very interested in martial arts? So why don't you try to fight me once, if you can survive 5 minutes under me I'll lose you 20 bags of diamonds, and if you don't...... Just give me a construction blueprint~~ By the way, let me use your construction machine~~" (To be continued.) )
