Twenty-Eighth World War Glasses and Crystal Balls
After a few days, Bai Lingche can be regarded as having figured out the rules in this squad with the highest force value in the army. In fact, it is nothing more than some inconspicuous little things. For example, Lovett must not disturb him when he is working in the study, and he must finish his daily duty on time. Although he was inexplicably assigned here (Bai Lingche was wondering if there was a problem with the main plot line again), as long as he followed these rules, Bai Lingche found that he could still survive in this place. Edith and Avino were also in a rosy situation, with Lovett giving them only one training session and saying that it would be a complete waste of time to impose unnecessary training.
On this day, when he and Betsy were there to take stock of the supplies distributed to them from the capital, he noticed a detail.
"Strange, where's your glasses?" he asked, pointing to Betsy's face, which she had always kept on her face in the most inconspicuous place in her pocket.
"Ah, this. Betsy pointed to her glasses, "Don't worry, I'm mildly nearsighted, so I just need to wear them when I do research." It's hard to fight with a pair of glasses - is it possible that you are used to seeing that I don't wear glasses and now feel very uncomfortable?"
"No, it's just that you're not afraid that your eyesight will become a stumbling block for you to escape the dragon when you fight?"
"Don't worry about that, just bring a pair of contact lenses. Besides, I don't need to run away from the dragon, I just have to kill it there!" Bessie snorted smugly, and put on a standard apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry for what happened last time, I shouldn't have lied to you by not telling you anything. β
"Ah, you're talking about ......" Bai Lingche remembered, it was the Battle of Trenia a week ago. Betsy once became his comrade-in-arms as "Bell" and outwitted the witch with him. It's a pity that what they got in the end turned out to be a catalytic potion. The potion catalyzes toxins in the body, allowing the body to return to a normal state, and then activates the toxins in a more violent form to completely petrify the body. That battle caused Covey and Hill to lose a lot of people, and Bai Lingche was also dragged to lecture many times.
"You did go a little too far last time, I thought you were a new recruit like us, so I was looking forward to which unit you would go to. How could I have thought that you were my future superior?Also, why did you come to our recruits' team to eat and live with us?Yi Wan's treatment should be better than anyone other than the king, right?" Bai Lingche threw out a lot of questions for Betsy to answer at once, which caught her a little off guard. After her incoherent explanation, Bai Lingche barely understood.
It turned out that Betsy's main task of going to the freshmen this time was to check the overall quality and grades of the recruits, and then pick one out of them to let him (she) join the team directly. But if you go out under the name of "Deputy Captain of the First Squad", the effect will definitely be greatly reduced, so simply disguise yourself as a recruit, which can not only integrate well into the group, but also facilitate the investigation. Moreover, according to the age gap between them, it is not very large, so no one will doubt it.
"Isn't the age difference big?" Bai Lingche raised an eyebrow, and his eyes were clearly asking "How old are you". Although he did not set the specific age of Betsy, and some readers even speculated that Betsy was in her twenties, etc., but according to the current situation, Betsy should not be much different from him.

Sixteen, that's only a year away from him. Bai Lingche breathed a sigh of relief, scratched his head in annoyance, and blamed him for not recognizing it, the older girls in the recruits are not absent, many parents want to keep their children for a long time, especially girls, they generally do not come back to the army until they are fourteen or fifteen years old, and the age when they graduate will of course be a little older than their normal entry into the team.
At this time, the watch on Bessie's wrist rang, and Bessie glanced at it: "Oh, it's all this time, we have to hurry." If you don't hurry over, I'm afraid I'll be beaten by Lovett again!"
"Huh, what's the important thing about that guy?" Bai Lingche asked disapprehantly, maybe he just asked him and Betsy to help him go to the literature room to get some documents or materials, right?
Bessie just mysteriously put her index finger to her lips: "Secret." β
Bai Lingche thought about it for a while, although there were many secrets in the army that could not be disclosed to the public, most of the insiders would know about them. Could it be that Lovett let them go this time......
"Naaveno and Edith ......"
"Ah, Tina, they. They should have arrived, and we're on a mission together this time. β
Can they perform tasks together? Bai Lingche smiled, he didn't expect that they would be able to complete one thing together again less than a week after joining the team. It seems that Lovett is also quite human.
But when he walked into the conference room, he realized he was wrong. At the same time, I also understood how naΓ―ve I was. There were already four people in the room: Averno and Edith on the couch, while Lovett was standing by the window, holding a piece of paper in his hand, not knowing what to think. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Eric's enthusiastic face.
"Yo, long time no see, Albert. β
Bai Lingche was not used to his warm welcome, so he pushed him away: "Why don't you see each other for a long time, we haven't seen each other for a few days, right? Besides, it should be you who disappeared on your own initiative, but I haven't walked out of this building all along!"
"I haven't ever gone out...... Could it be that Lovett won't give you tuition?" Eric glanced at Lovett, who snorted disdainfully as he put the paper into the pocket of his black trench coat.
"No, Senior Betsy said that I just need to master some basic knowledge of monsters these days, and I don't need to learn other fighting skills. β
"Hey, is that really okay, Bessie?" said Eric, who looked up again, and Bessie waved his hand.
"Ah, no problem, this kid can't die, can't he barely escape when he slays the dragon at that time......?"
There was a crystal ball on the table, which was a witch's belongings. Bai Lingche frowned with some disgust, to be honest, he didn't like witches, so he wrote them as negative characters. But in this world, witches have become neutral parties, and although people hate them very much, they can't blatantly go to them to fight, which makes some people's hearts itch all the time.
"What is this?" Bai Lingche asked, "Why do you want to put a divination thing here?"
Eric raised his eyebrows, "Well, do you really not know or do you not know? Didn't you guys use these things in the army before?"
"We used to draw lots on paper in private, and we never tried to put our hands in a crystal ball. Avino, who had been reluctant to speak, spoke. Bai Lingche looked at the crystal ball with a somewhat complicated expression.
Could it be that there is a lottery?!
