Chapter 375: Old Friend
"Alright, Ballot, don't pout, Greenfell doesn't have a heart. ”
In a certain low-grade restaurant, Su Wen and his entourage, together with their old friend Greenfell, who had just met, were sitting at a table by the window, enjoying snow castle food.
"The number of snowshoes is classified!Generally not allowed to be revealed!" Barrot seemed a little stubborn on these matters of principle.
"Miss Ballot......" Greenfell smiled and apologized again and again, "I really didn't mean it, and I didn't say it!"
"You definitely recognize me!"
"No, no!" Greenfell denied.
"Don't say it, let's order food first?" Su Wen played the role of a peacemaker, interrupting the two of them: "Then although the number of horses is confidential, it is also the fifth-class secret with the lowest level of secrecy, right? It's not like Greenfell didn't say it, and besides, he's the hero who escorted your sister back. ”
"What?!" Barot was taken aback and looked at Su Wen: "He escorted my sister back!?"
Greenfield covered his face in pain: "Mr. Su Wen, this is a second-class secret ......"
The operation to escort Marlena back was secretly arranged by Warrent, and only a small part of it was known. Greenfield's identity and position are also kept secret.
Barot embarrassedly took a sip of her teacup and fell silent.
After all, if you can get a second-class confidential information for nothing, no matter how you think about it, you can earn it.
"Anyway, there are no outsiders!" Su Wen finished calming the two and looked at Ellie next to him: "Have you finished ordering?"
"It's over!" Ellie put down the menu in her hand and nodded to Su Wen.
Su Wen called the waiter, and Ellie said the name of a table of dishes, which made Greenfell, who was about to pay for a treat, tingle.
This dish...... Isn't it a bit much?
Due to the climate, the restaurant's signature dishes are stews and cold dishes with snow castle characteristics. Mia and Ellie are immersed in food, and Su Wen communicates with Greenfield about what has happened recently. Barot was caught in the middle, worrying on both sides.
After talking, Su Wen knew some things that happened in the snow castle, but they were not big deals, and the two things that happened in the academy were relatively influential. One is the matter of Lucia and Phyllis, and the other is the terrorist attack carried out by Magellan not long ago.
Most of the other people in the restaurant discussed this matter of Magellan.
As an eyewitness, Su Wen wanted to tell Greenfield some details, but Greenfell quickly shook his head and refused, and diverted the topic. Of course, this clever scout knows that sometimes the more you know, the more you don't know. What's more, that level of intelligence, if you know it, you can just watch it lively, but it will only add some unnecessary psychological pressure. In comparison, it's better to not know.
So the content of the conversation became Greenfell's own business.
Although he made a contribution to Marina's affairs, after calming down, life still passed like this.
As an excellent scout of the Snow Eagle Knights, in addition to the usual training, Greenfield also has task indicators to train newcomers. Although he is good as a scout, as a teacher, Greenfield is not good. The performance of the work is not considered to be among the best.
According to Greenfell's age and rank, in a few years, he will probably retire from the first line of the army, right? When the time comes, whether he will take a back seat or return to his hometown with a severance pay of several thousand silver, that is uncertain.
Greenfell was a little melancholy when he said this, and seemed to be a little reluctant to live as a soldier.
"And have you ever considered becoming an adventurer?"
Greenfell shook his head and sighed: "I still know what level my strength is, and adventurer is not a suitable profession for me." Probably, I'll go back to my hometown and start a small business......"
A good scout like Greenfell, a team of adventurers is in demand. However, once you encounter danger and do not have enough strength to protect yourself, then the first person to sacrifice will be like Greenfield. Greenfell was not afraid of "death", but felt that it was too embarrassing to die in the mouth of a monster.
If there is an accident during the mission, he still sacrifices his life for the country with honor. Greenfell believes that such a death is an honor.
In this world, in this country, there is still a large part of the people who believe that fame and glory are more important than monetary interests or even life.
"If you're quite an adventurer, I can introduce you to the Sword of Longjiang......" Su Wen remembered that Hank, after all, he still owes others favors, and Su Wen still has to pay attention to the things he asks for from time to time.
"Good intentions, if I change my mind one day, please don't be surprised by Mr. Su Wen......" Greenfield didn't say anything to death, what if he figured it out one day?
"Even the Snow Eagle Knights aren't that easy......" Su Wen sighed.
Barot also felt the mood of the grassroots soldiers, nodded and said: "Yes, the army is only so big, and there are only so many positions...... Only a very small part of them were able to take root in the army. ”
"Iron-clad battalions and flowing soldiers. Su Wen added.
“...... What are you talking about?"
"Oh, there is an old saying in my hometown, which means that the barracks are fixed, and every year the veterans leave and the new recruits come, like flowing water, to illustrate the hard work of the soldiers and the change in the position of the commander. ”
"That's ......"
It's not the first time that Barot has heard Su Wenbiao speak Chinese, but she hasn't reacted every time, and this time it's the same.
Greenfield sighed and agreed, "That makes sense...... Well, it's still early from that time anyway, it's rare to have a holiday, and you must relax in your mood~"
"yes. ”
Only then did Greenfell focus his attention on this table...... Eh, what about the dishes? Why are the plates and bowls empty???
Su Wen beckoned the waiter and asked him to serve the food he had just served again, and before the waiter showed an embarrassed expression, Su Wen took out two ten-silver bills and handed them to the waiter, letting him leave with peace of mind.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Greenfell took a sip of water from his cup.
"That's right. Su Wen suddenly said again: "If you have time, do you want to go north with me for a walk?" Ellie...... Hey, don't eat it, have you thought about it?"
"Uh-huh, Gollum. Ellie swallowed a mouthful of food and said casually, "Shall we go then?
A turn in the north?
Greenfair's eyes widened, and he suddenly had some strange premonitions and anticipations.
In the end, Greenfell smiled, nodded earnestly, and said yes.
