Chapter 22: A Generous Reward
Reminded by Lei Long, Nan Bo paid attention to the woman at the main table, but today these adults obviously covered up when they spoke, most of the time they used the titles of Mr. and Young Master, Nan Bo did not connect the woman in front of him with Helena, the director of the Royal Ancient Machinery Research Institute, for a while, and he didn't expect that he was already a golden egg in Helena's eyes at the moment, and even moved the idea of directly absorbing him into the elite class of the Royal First Military Academy, which is a place where all Chinese young talents are crazy about it, Even Lu Kui and Gu Gu Ke didn't dare to hope for a beautiful home.
Just as Nanbo and Helena looked at each other, the atmosphere at the main table had dropped to freezing point because of Abate's words.
"What the president said is that the folk customs of the Western Wilderness are indeed different from those in Zhongzhou, Leng Er is the first time to the Western Wilderness, and he is not familiar with the customs of the Western Wilderness where everyone is martial, lying down and not removing the armor, and not being able to untie the sword, so he will offend the president according to the rules of the Central Capital, fortunately, the president is open-minded just now, and he doesn't care about us juniors, how about coming to me to give the president a cup." Just when everyone thought they were going to tear their faces, Jiang Baiyuan raised his wine glass and smiled.
"Young Master Yuan laughed, it's the old man who doesn't understand the rules of Zhongdu, and he offended the majesty of the young master, the old man is a reckless man, and I hope that Young Master Yuan will forgive me, here I will do it first as respect." No matter how much Abate relied on the old and betrayed the old, he didn't dare to attack Jiang Baiyuan directly, so he was "admitted" by the other party's hidden needle, so he had to quickly put down his posture.
"It doesn't seem to be an embroidered pillow, the second generation of straw bales, they are all old foxes and little foxes, it's not easy to fool." Nan Bo, who was listening on the sidelines, thought about it psychologically, this young man changed his words, and even beat him, which not only eased the atmosphere, but also did not weaken his momentum, and also stabbed the other party a little, and looked up to this young man called "Young Master Yuan" a lot.
Nan Bo sat on the high chair, leaning his elbows against the bar, thinking about the origin of this young master who was quite generous, but he didn't expect this young master's eyes to suddenly fall on him, and Nan Bo, who was caught off guard, quickly sat up straight, like an unlucky student caught in a daze by the teacher, a little embarrassed.
However, with Nanbo's petite body and childish face, it will not make people feel out of shape, but some children are stupid and cute, and the young man couldn't help but smile, although this smile is full of kindness. But in Nanbo's eyes, it was naked ridicule.
At this moment, Jiang Baiyuan is not familiar with Nan Bo's character, if it was a few months later, Jiang Baiyuan would definitely not make such a doomed smile to Nan Bo. I don't know if "trouble" Jiang Baiyuan and Su Zhe next to him said: "He still looks like a child?" How do you apply for guidance? ”
Su Zhesheng was afraid that Jiang Baiyuan would look down on Nanbo with his appearance, so he hurriedly said: "Young Master Yuan, I said just now, this kid has worked in my shop for a while, I don't know about others, I still know him, don't look at others as small, in fact, they are 11 years old like a few little ghosts here, and they are clever, the shadow area and misty area in the area of Sanye Port are all familiar with this kid, and he has helped me a lot before, but I haven't seen his kid come out to do this business recently, I began to think about whether to find his kid and recommend it to Young Master Yuan, I didn't expect him to come by himself, this is also fate, hehe. ”
"You're only 11 years old?" Jiang Baiyuan looked at Lu Kui again with some surprise, Gu Gu Ke is here.
"Of course, after the age of 12, how do you do whistle pigeons." Su Zhe was a little surprised by Jiang Baiyuan's reaction, so he had to explain.
"Okay, this soup has been drunk, the song has been listened to, and now that everyone is here, let's not waste time chatting and start early. Otherwise, we have been delayed for a long time, and those tourists who have come to the Western Wilderness so easily and want to see the 'legendary bar' that they can't see us will not run in vain. I have been observing Nan Bo Helena, suddenly stood up, interrupted the topic of the main table with some impatience, and said to myself, of course, I didn't forget to help Jiang Baiyuan knock Abutt and Lu Lang, after all, whether it is identity or seniority, she is the only one here who can steadily crush the two opposite.
"Since the dean said so, let's get started." Jiang Baiyuan originally wanted to say something, but since Helena spoke, she had to show enough respect, after all, with Helena's transcendent status, even if she saw her father, she didn't have to kneel and salute, and her identity as a prince didn't have much effect in front of her. This time she is willing to help herself, maybe just for the sake of the queen mother's affection.
"Oh, the dean said this, I am ashamed of Lao Lu, but the dean can rest assured, how can I say that Lao Lu is also a parent here, how can I bother the tourists." Sure enough, as soon as Lu Lang heard Helena's words, he didn't sit as stable as he did just now, after all, this woman is a person who even his brother is trying to win over, and if he offends her now, it will be more than worth the loss. He quickly turned to the person sitting at the door and said, "You guys go and have a look, if anyone dares to harass the tourists and the crowd, they will all be brought back to the police station for me." ”
"Ah Le, you also go with you, and do as Lord Lu instructs." Abate followed suit. After all, Helena herself doesn't want to offend, and since the recruitment test has begun, it doesn't matter who else is allowed in.
"Hmph" Helena snorted disdainfully, and then said, "Okay, you three come here." ”
Nanbo picked up the orange juice given by the thunder dragon and drank it in one gulp, then gave a thumbs up to the thunder dragon and pointed at himself, a little bit saying "look at me", I don't know if it was an illusion, although the thunder dragon didn't say anything, but Nan Bo always felt that the sunglasses that the thunder dragon never took off seemed to be flashing in response to himself.
Su Zhe, who is familiar with everything about the thunder dragon, naturally knows very well that the thunder dragon is indeed responding to Nan Bo, he has always been curious, why the strange combination of Nan Bo and the thunder dragon has an indescribable tacit understanding, Nan Bo only occasionally looks like a child in front of the thunder dragon, but the thunder dragon is less and less like himself in front of Nan Bo.
"Dean? Royal First Military Academy? Four Leaves Academy? The Legislative Yuan? Civil Affairs Yuan? Senate? I don't seem to have heard of a female dean, who is this woman? Could it be the vice president? But how can a vice president have such a great deterrent effect? Just a few steps from the center of the bar hall, Nanbo has been pondering the origin of such a woman, but he has no clue. It's not that Helena is not famous, but in the public's perception, what is more known is her name of "Huaxia's First Mecha Division", even if the news mentions, it is generally called Duke Helian or Mrs. Helian, after all, the Royal Ancient Machinery Research Institute is a secret organization, so it is not well known.
"Okay, before I start, I'll explain that this guide is dangerous, so if you want to quit early." Helena said to Lu Kui, Gu Gu Ke and Nan Bo who were standing in front of her.
Although the words were said to the three people, Nan Bo felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be just staring at him all the time.
"We wind chasers never knew what fear was." Nan Bo was still puzzled, and Lu Kui preemptively said in a proud tone.
"Windchaser? The tone is really not small, but the Lu family has always been like this, don't lose the face of the Lu family later, the consequences, you should know better than me. Helena replied playfully.
The reason why the Wind Chaser was able to develop into the largest hunting regiment in the Western Wilderness was because it was itself a minion of the Lu family, so Lu Lang would personally go out and recommend Lu Kui to apply for this guide. Helena, of course, is clear about what is in this. She is not interested in the dispute between the Imperial Party and the Democratic Party, and she doesn't want to get involved, but she hates Lu Mang very much, so she doesn't even have a good face for Lu Lang and Lu Kui.
"Dean, rest assured, although I am a girl, I have also experienced some training in this Western Wilderness, and the president has also taught me a lot of things, although it is definitely not worth mentioning compared to the elders, but I am still somewhat confident in self-protection in the dense forest of this Western Wilderness." Just when Lu Kui didn't know what he looked like, his face turned a little green, Gu Gu Ke said respectfully.
Of course, Gu Guke's words were much more decent than Lu Kui's, and Abate smiled proudly and gratifying after hearing it, but Helena just said noncommittally "um", and then turned to look at Nanbo, as if he had said that they had finished speaking, don't you make a statement.
"If it's dangerous, does it mean that the reward is good?" Under the gaze of Nanbo Zaihelena, he said something strange.
"You kid is poor and crazy? Come up and ask for money? Su Zhe couldn't help but say.
"Ask what's wrong with the money, isn't it just to make money to apply for a guide, of course, you have to ask the price code first, I also want to be reserved, but I wondered, why didn't they ask in front, did they already know? Or are they not here to make money? Not for money, what are they trying to do? Nanbo said with a pretending innocent face.
"As far as you kid talk a lot, don't be wordy and take the exam." Su Zhe put on a reprimanding face on his face. But looking at the embarrassed expressions of Lu Lang and Abate next to him,
In my heart, I can't wait to pick up Nanbo and kiss the two, this kid is gagging, and he understands that the ability to pretend to be confused is really good, and he gave himself a bad breath when he came up.
Lu Kui, who already had a bad face, turned green when Nan Bo said this, and Gu Guke, who was decent and generous just now, was also a little embarrassed, and glanced at Nan Bo.
Even Wu Yu, who was a little blocked just now, felt a little more comfortable in his heart, while Lu Lang wondered in his heart whether this kid was a bastard who told the truth, or was he instigated by Su Zhe behind him? Of course, there is still a smile on his face, but his eyes, which are almost invisible, seem to have become smaller.
Nan Bo said this on purpose, but he didn't expect Su Zhe to cooperate so well, the reason why he did this was of course not to stimulate the two major forces of the Wind Chaser and the Chasseur Association, and find a few enemies for himself.
Is this to appropriately improve the employer's favorability, anyway, whatever you say today, the hatred will definitely be counted on Su Zhe's head, and it will not be the turn of the other party to remember it.
The main thing is to test the woman in front of you who seems to notice something about herself, and see if she will help yourself or harm yourself.
"Hmph, interesting," Helena said with a smile, "The remuneration is naturally generous, and it is so generous that you can't even think of." ”
After Helena finished speaking, she took out a golden envelope from the bag behind her, and said directly without giving Nanbo a chance to ask: "If you win, this is your reward, a letter of recommendation from the Royal First Military Academy." ”
"Royal First Military Academy!" Lu Kui couldn't help but repeat, although Gu Gu Ke next to him didn't speak, his eyes also released a fine light.
The Royal First Military Academy is an academy that specializes in training senior officers, generally only recruiting extremely outstanding young officers, or soldiers who have made great contributions to the country, and very few will also recruit some excellent noble children, but they must be very top nobles, and the threshold for the examination is also quite high. For civilians, unless you are like Hei Muzhe who has made a name for himself in the World Armed Mecha Competition, or has a letter of recommendation written for you by a big person, even if you are a potential talent like Gu Guke and Lu Kui, you will not be able to enter, and you can only consider joining the army first to seek opportunities.
So when the woman took out the recommendation letter from the Royal First Military Academy, Nanbo said that she was completely unmoved, which must be a lie.
However, Nanbo is still reminiscing about the woman's words, "If you win, this is your reward", this is just for me? Or are all three of them the same, and their own files ......
As if guessing what Nanbo was thinking, Helena continued: "Don't worry, as long as you don't commit treason, with my letter of recommendation, no one will dare not let you in, but well, you still have to pass the entrance exam." ”
"Sure enough, they investigated me, that's why they said such things." Nanbo immediately came to such a conclusion, and the original feeling of heartbeat was quickly replaced by this haze of being targeted.
