Chapter 15 The Old Man of Earth Street
The headquarters of Earth Street in Phoenix City is very close to the Phoenix Military Academy, almost adjacent to each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, Moffett tucked one hand into his pants pocket and a cup of espresso in the other, his old face showing no expression at all.
The old man's eyes were calm, staring at the scenery outside the window, more precisely, at the beautiful female students on the playground in the Phoenix Military Academy not far away.
Anyone who knows the elderly knows that the elderly only stand by the window when they are busy with work and feel great pressure. In the old man's own words: "Looking at healthy and upward young people, the mood will be much better." After all, it's really tiring to work in a family like Earth Street. ”
The descendants of Earth Street, or the heirs of the founders of Earth Street, are all surnamed Xu. This is a strange surname, and unlike mainland habits, the surname Xu should be placed in front of the name.
Moffett is not from the Xu family, he himself is a master blacksmith, and he is only one step away from the divine craftsman.
At a certain masquerade blacksmith conference, he emerged as a young man and was absorbed into Earth Street to become a guest elder of the blacksmith department.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
Tuk tuk.
There was a knock on the door.
Moffett slowly took the last sip of coffee, then took out a tissue from his breast pocket and carefully wiped any water stains from the corners of his mouth before saying in his usual calm voice, "Come in." ”
A young man dressed as an Earth Street Commissioner opened the door and said, "My lord, the first day of the audition for the masked blacksmith has begun, you see......"
"On the first day of the audition, I won't go to see it in person. Moffett frowned slightly, "What, you came to me at this time just to talk about this?"
"Oh no...... In fact...... Alas, it was actually Miss Wen Jing and Young Master Wen Yuan, who both asked to enter the venue to observe the live performance of the selection participants......" the young man said embarrassedly.
Moffett's face sank instantly.
He was silent for a while, didn't speak immediately, but walked to the coffee machine on the side, made himself another cup, and then slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the Phoenix Military Academy doesn't have a holiday today, right?"
"Yes. ”
"The family's elite special training class also has a training arrangement today, right?"
"Yes. ”
"So, here's the problem. Moffett stared out the window and whispered, "Why did the two young ladies and young masters, who were supposed to be in class and training, come here? and make such a non-part request? Don't they know that the first criterion of the audition is that no one is allowed to visit?"
The young man did not know what to answer, his face flushed, and at last he sighed and lowered his head.
Everyone knows that there is a lot of fighting inside Earth Street now, Wen Yuan's faction, and Wen Jing's faction. The masked blacksmith is an important human resource on Earth Street, and it is clear that both Wen Jing and Wen Yuan want to represent their own faction and find excellent talents as soon as possible, and then recruit them to their command.
In the blink of an eye, another cup of coffee was insightful.
A faint flush appeared on Moffett's old face, he took a breath, turned around, and saw the young commissioner's face hanging down, he couldn't help but slow down, and said, "Okay, I also know that you are embarrassed, after all, your surname is Xu, and they are a family." If you don't want to make a choice, you can feel bad if you have to make a choice. ”
The old man paused, showed a faint smile, and continued: "However, my surname is not Xu. ”
The young man looked up and asked uncertainly, "So, what do you mean......"
"Let both imps go back to where they belong. Moffett's tone was calm and tough, "I don't care how the family fights." I'm just in charge of the mask blacksmith selection I've been in charge of for so many years. Hmph, don't talk about those two little guys, even if the adults behind them come in person, I'll put the same thing here!"
After the young commissioner left, Moffett made himself another cup of coffee, the third cup of the day, which was actually very bad for him, who was already in a bad stomach. But being in a big family, it's really stressful. Moffett's always straight back seemed to be slightly hunched.
"The patriarch has been kind to me, and for so many years, I have been doing my best, and I have done everything I could. Moffett thought silently, "This selection is over, and it's time for me to retire." Actually, it seems that it is not bad to live like that person, ordinary and ordinary?"
When the old man was thinking about "that person", what he looked at happened to be the guard hall of the Phoenix Military Academy.
Standing in this office, you can see people coming and going at the gate of the military academy every day, that is, a while ago, a young man came with something strange.
At first, Moffett didn't pay much attention until he noticed that the man seemed to spend all his time in the janitor's hall, reading, very attentive. And once someone comes to the door, he seems to be able to detect it without raising his eyes, and he never delays his work because of reading.
In the beautiful sunshine, sitting in the small but warm doorman hall far larger than this office, reading his own book, and walking away with his book in his arms and patting his ass when he was done for work.
This kind of life looks really good.
Moffett thought to herself.
It's just that he is a little strange, if I remember correctly, at this time today, the young little doorman should be on duty, but in the doorman hall, it is not him......
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Enter the ......" Moffett had just said half a word, and the door was opened, and it was the young commissioner who came just now, looking a little flustered.
Moffett himself is an extremely strict person, and he is also very strict with his subordinates, and what he usually hates most is this panicked appearance, and he can't help but snort.
At the same time, Moffett was also thinking in his heart, "Could it be that Miss Wen Jing and Young Master Wen Yuan are not willing to come according to the family rules? Do they have to enter and watch?
"Big, Adult......"
The young commissioner spoke, his voice trembling a little, his body trembling, his lips trembling, and he said with great difficulty: "There is...... 1. A ...... Divine craftsman!"
With a bang, the coffee cup fell to the ground and shattered.
It was one of Moffett's favorite coffee cups, but he didn't have time to pay attention to them.
The old man took a deep breath, stared at the young man, and asked, "Is it confirmed?"
"Yes, because there is a vision of heaven and earth, so it is 100% confirmed. The young man said. The so-called vision of heaven and earth refers to the moment of creating high-quality core energy, because a large amount of wind and thunder power gathers, resulting in the impact on the surrounding environment, which is one of the signs of the birth of core energy.
Hearing this, Moffett did not hesitate any longer, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way!"
