Chapter 98: The Story of the Turnip

"Ge Laozi, Ge Laozi's ......"

Yudi walked anxiously around outside the thatched hut, he couldn't see or hear everything that was happening inside, but he knew very well that the attitude of the three deans today was a little unusual!

The three test questions that Jiangnan experienced were also experienced by Youdi when he was enrolled in the school that year, but at that time, after he saw the red cloth banner, he just said honestly, "Three deans, I, I saw three banners." ”

The three deans laughed, "You are an honest person, we like honest people, you have passed the test, but ...... You can only be an honest knife chef in your life!"

With mysterious words, they let Yudi enter the second question.

The second test question is also tofu carving, but unlike the ten minutes in Jiangnan, the time limit given by the three deans to Yudi is three hours, and Yudi does have the quality to become a famous knife chef, and in three hours, he easily completed the test. But still in the second question, the three deans didn't say anything about 'personal disciples'...... God, the deans not only increased the difficulty of the test questions for Roddy, but also prepared to teach him personally!

Thinking of those legends about the Imperial Culinary Academy, Yudi vaguely felt that unlike being an ordinary chef, Roddy, might get something that could be called a 'miracle'!

Then Yudi became even more anxious, "Ge Laozi, you actually let me out, Roddy, you must not lose the face of my recommender......"

Crunch!

At this moment, the thatched house door opened, and the three deans and Jiang Nan walked out, all four of them with faint smiles on their faces.

"Dean, what's the result!?"

An old man was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Do you remember the name of our master, the previous dean?"

"Of course I do!" Yudi was stunned, "The master of the three deans is called 'Hamil'. ”

The old man nodded, "Well, go and tell your junior brother and sister, just say that Your Excellency Hamil has a closed disciple!"

Yudi was stunned, "Dean, Mr. Hamil has been dead for thirty years, he, how can he take in apprentices!"

"Honest man, if you don't understand, you won't understand, but Mr. Hamil has a closed disciple, don't let anyone outside the Imperial Culinary Academy know, you can always understand this, right?"

The old man smiled and beckoned Jiang Nan into a thatched hut deeper in the academy.

Yudi is still confused!

...... The truth of the matter is very simple: after Jiang Nan comprehended the unity of man and knife, he took only twelve seconds to dissect a little cow with one enemy and three, one second faster than the three deans joining forces!

This made the three deans feel that although Jiang Nan still has flaws in knife work, his potential is no longer something he can control, and his future should not be just a small 'personal student'. So they unanimously decided to accept Jiang Nan as a closed disciple for the deceased master, and let Jiang Nan become their little junior brother!

Of course, to the uninformed, Jiangnan was only fortunate enough to pass three not difficult exams, and then became a small knife apprentice at the Imperial Culinary Academy.

In the innermost thatched hut, Jiang Nan completed the apprenticeship ceremony in front of Hamil's spiritual seat, and then began his study career with the three senior brothers.

Interestingly, the three senior brothers have a surname in their education methods, they neither teach the know-how of knife work, nor do they teach any recipes to Jiangnan, on the contrary, the second senior brother threw a key to Jiang Nan and said mysteriously, "If you want to comprehend a higher realm of knife work, take this key to the third warehouse, there are some small things in it that can help you understand the fourth level of knife work!"

"Second Senior Brother, the fourth level of the knife work realm is ......"

The second senior brother touched his warped goatee, and said like a master in the world: "Don't say, can't say, the real knife technique can only be understood but not spoken, go, the third warehouse is waiting for you!"

Jiang Nan came to the No. 3 warehouse, only glanced at it, and was so angry that he almost rushed back and bit the three senior brothers to death!

In the warehouse, there are mountains of at least 100,000 of them...... Purple-skinned big radish!

There was also a note on the wall, "Do not use any tools to carve all the radishes in the warehouse into roses!"

Isn't this deliberately letting my brother and me become a rabbit?

What's even more infuriating is that at this moment, the senior brother floated behind him like a ghost, and said ghostly, "I don't understand, I won't tell you why, if you realize it yourself, if you realize it, you will find the key to open the fourth layer of the knife realm!"

"Big brother!"

Jiang Nan was just about to get angry, and the third senior brother closed the door behind his back, and let out a series of contemplative laughter, as if to say, "I think back then, this is how the master cleaned up our brothers, right?

“#@¥%......”

Jiangnan rushed into the pile of turnips and carved them with his fingers, a hundred, two hundred...... One thousand, two thousand...... The whole world seems to be full of the smell of radish, and Jiangnan has been carving for half a month, but he can't find what the senior brother means by the 'key'.

However, he found something extremely weird: the Hanging Eyeball, that is, the ghost angel said that if the necromantic totem wants to increase its strength, it can only constantly absorb the dead qi on the corpse. But in the past half a month, Jiang Nan has not seen a single corpse, and he has not absorbed a little dead qi, but the concentration of his dead qi ...... But it's unbelievably rising!

To be precise, since comprehending the knife realm of 'human and knife unity', it seems that Jiang Nan does not need to absorb dead qi and can also improve his totem level.

This is a discovery that makes Jiangnan wake up with a smile when he dreams!

The only pity is that Jiang Nan still doesn't know the mantra of advancing to the 'top-grade totem master', otherwise, he can be promoted at any time!

...... "Hey, Tom, this kid is making trouble at this time!"

On the twentieth day after entering the Imperial Culinary Academy, Jiang Nan had to temporarily leave the radish pile, because Tom entrusted Yudi to send a message to him to report to the Rhine family's military headquarters as soon as possible.

The Rhine family's private military headquarters is in the second block of the aristocratic district, only twenty minutes away from the culinary academy, Jiang Nan walked over, only to see Tom waiting at the entrance of the military department with a happy face, "Roddy, do you know?

"What did you promise me?"

"Yes, have you forgotten? When you entered the city, you took the pseudonym Murphy and became the deputy captain, I promise you to use the reason of this deputy captain to arrange a good background for you!" Tom said while stuffing Jiang Nan with a package of dossiers, "No, everything has been done, thanks to Miss Veran's contribution, the military department has exceptionally promoted you to be the 'staff officer of the Fifth Infantry Regiment and the Operational Staff Headquarters', the rank and rank are the same as mine, you are a middle-level officer of the sixth class - Bing Cao!"

To be honest, Jiang Nan is busy dealing with radishes, and he really has no interest in being a soldier, but with the status of a middle-level officer, he can always make his family feel better. After all, you can't point to Tom for everything, can you?

So Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Brother, I am also the middle class of Yanjing!" Tom ...... This officer's identity won't make me unable to get out of the army, right?"

"Of course not, hehe, I know you're still studying at the Imperial Culinary Academy!" Tom said, pointing to the file, "The Fifth Infantry Regiment is a reserve force, and it's usually at home. Even if there is an urgent military call for you, you are a staff officer of a non-combat unit, you can just find an excuse to call for sick leave......" raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice, "To put it simply, you can receive a monthly salary of twenty silver coins and enjoy the treatment of a sixth-class family member, Bing Cao, but you don't have to do anything yet, understand?"

"Hey, brother, haven't I become a moth?"

"Don't you want to be a moth?" said Tom, with a bitter face, "you know, I want to be a moth too, but the military regulations of the glorious cavalry...... Okay, let's not talk about that, I still have urgent military affairs. After running a few steps, he turned his head and said, "Young Master Ribes' wedding is approaching, and our glorious cavalry are busy preparing for the wedding, and you may not be able to find me these days." ”

"Go, go!"

Jiang Nan waved his hand, he didn't go home for twenty days, he missed his aunt, so he looked through the appointment file of the military department and walked to his home.

The first few dossiers are very ordinary, nothing more than saying some military regulations such as "soldiers of the Rhine family, don't allow this, don't do that". But just behind the military regulations, there are also a few bloody explanations about the current situation in Yanjing that Jiangnan has the right to know, "At present, according to rough estimates, the number of plague infected people in Yanjing has exceeded 1 million, the number of civilian deaths has reached 700,000, the army losses are about 150,000, and the plague has a tendency to further expand! According to this situation, the Emperor's [***] Ministry is discussing the expansion of the original seventeen plague isolation areas to twenty-three!"

It was this short opening paragraph that had already made Jiang Nan's mouth bitter, and then read on, "All soldiers in the empire must pay attention to the fact that the plague is raging in our country, and the enemy country Zhanya is very likely to take advantage of the situation and provoke a large-scale war, so whether it is the main battle force or the reserve force, they must always remain on alert for battle, and once the war breaks out, they will immediately return to the team and wait for the order of the military department!" "In addition, the ghost butterfly knights that appeared near Yanjing are becoming more and more harmful, and they are getting stronger and stronger the more they fight, and they have been listed by the military department." First-class war criminals', Emperor Fan [***] people, once they find the traces of the Ghost Butterfly Knights, they must not act rashly, and immediately return to the military headquarters to report!"

“......”

After reading this dossier, Jiang Nan had only one word left in his heart -- internal worries and external troubles! The Lance Empire had reached a precarious situation surrounded by powerful enemies on the outside and plagues on the inside! However, in the words of the bloody bard, this was exactly the beginning of the troubled times and the prelude to the great era of heroes rising up! I just don't know who will stand out in this great era............
