Chapter 13 Successfully discharged from the army and reborn!
The Holy Grail is the Holy Grail, and it really doesn't have to be covered.
Early the next morning, Paul read the newspaper while enjoying the chalice of guava juice.
Yesterday, when he opened the portal after ten years of life, Paul had a brief collapse, but after a few seconds he returned to normal, and he didn't feel his hair turn gray, his skin loose, and his body hollowed out.
Paul is 28 years old this year, and he has a short life of ten years.
But!
When I came home last night, I had a cup of holy grail in my stomach, and it felt...
It's like a new lease of life!
The waist is no longer sore, the legs are not painful, the face is ruddy, the eyes are bright, and I haven't slept all night but I don't feel the slightest sleepiness.
Paul also validated the healing and detoxifying powers of the Holy Grail.
For ordinary knife wounds and penetrating wounds, as long as the holy water is poured, it will heal in three seconds, and if the injury is critical, it will take ten to twelve seconds, pour a sip of dish soap, and then drink a sip of holy water, and the stomach will not feel uncomfortable at all.
Paul wanted to see if he could be saved from a shot in the head, but... The second lieutenant next door came out looking for his dog.
In short, although it is not as good as the self-healing monster of Wolverine, and the Holy Grail is not convenient to bring to the battlefield to water itself while fighting, it is a relatively effective life-saving device.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, and the holy water also brought very big side effects to Paul, so much so that he had to go to the officers' club overnight to find a resident girl and take out the side effects for her to help cure...
And then...
All night, how to say ...
Summary in four sentences:
What do you want to do?
What more do you want?
What else do you want?
What do you want to do?
Paul always thought of himself as an above-average man, but after drinking the holy water, he realized how unreliable the average thing was, and he still had too much potential to explore.
In a word.
This time the dungeon, blood to earn !!
Of course, Paul didn't feel strong enough to teleport to the Ancient One's bed and let the Ancient One touch his side effects.
The Holy Grail only greatly extended his lifespan and improved his sub-health, but it did not enhance his strength.
Now he is just a handsome young man who can teleport and live for hundreds of years.
Evaluated by Marvel's strength system, it is still only at the surface level.
Above him, there are also cosmic level, god level, single universe level, multiverse level, omnipotent universe level, exception level, OAA.
But, it doesn't matter, with the Holy Grail, Paul has the capital to continue to play the next copy, and his future is unlimited.
Again, that's the same sentence.
Wave!
As long as the waves do not die, they will die in the waves!!
In the matter of becoming stronger, Paul took every step of the way, but he was not in a hurry.
Although the earth is a place of hatred, it is still 45 years before the next global crisis - the Kerry fleet comes to drop bombs.
It is still 70 years before Thanos comes to snap his fingers.
Now, let's finish the unfinished business.
The next day, Paul went to the colonel's office to find Phillips.
He's not here.
The third day was not there either.
The fourth day was not there either.
At first, Paul thought that Phillips was deliberately hiding from him, but when he asked Donna, he found out that Phillips had been on the side of the military council these days.
The content of the discussion is both good and bad.
On the fifth day, Paul finally met Phillips.
"How?" Paul asked as he entered.
"Hmph, what can it be, it's annoying." Phillips apparently hadn't slept for several nights, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale.
Although it is impossible for the portal to be in the newspapers, the entire high-level of the United States is staring at it, after all, this is another supernatural event since the Cosmic Cube.
So, just because Phillips completed the task doesn't mean he'll be able to go to sleep.
What's more, the supreme commander of this mission, Mick, lost.
Seeing that the colonel was almost exhausted, Paul was a little concerned about whether to take the Holy Grail and scoop some toilet water for the colonel to drink.
But he immediately dismissed the idea.
No one else could know about any special ability, unless that person was about to die at Paul's hands.
The Colonel is no exception.
This is the policy of lewd development that Paul set for himself when he crossed over.
"As soon as I reported Mick's incident, it immediately exploded." Phillips pointed to the torn and shredded paper on the table, "Even Mick's mom came to me to slap the table and wipe her tears, saying I'm responsible, hey, it turns out that Mick's mom is... Forget it, let's not talk about it. β
Oh... It turns out that what kept Phillips awake was mainly Mick's business.
Paul always knew that Mick had a bunch of relatives in the military and government, and now that Mick was alone in a foreign land, someone would naturally hold him accountable.
But.
"Besides, the whole battalion of soldiers saw it, Mick died by himself, and he couldn't stay over there, can we be blamed for this? Did we force Mick to stay there and take pictures? Or did I fail to close the portal? β
Paul was right.
Phillips also nodded in agreement: "I said the same thing, but that crazy woman is completely crazy, and she is holding me to death, fortunately, Mick's other backstage are still sensible, and after a few days of tossing, this matter is finally over." β
"Well, let's just say, we're just... It's justβ" Paul raised an eyebrow, "just luck." β
Hearing this, Phillips also laughed inauthentically: "It's true, Mick is gone, my and Howard's S.S.R project will definitely get the grant smoothly, oh, the project under Mick's name will also be assigned to me." β
After a pause, he looked at Paul again: "Hey, I can't take care of so many things as an old man." β
Paul immediately snorted: "Don't forget our agreement." β
When this was over, Paul was allowed to leave the army.
Paul never changed his mind about being discharged from the army.
"According to the agreement, sign it." Paul took the newly written discharge application from his bosom and placed it in front of Phillips.
Phillips's face immediately changed, and after so many days of tossing, he had forgotten that Paul was going to be discharged from the army.
"Why are you still thinking about this?"
"Your project grant has been completed, your competitors will have to work hard in a foreign land for the rest of their lives, and I will help you solve all the troubles before retiring from the army, which is considered to be benevolent."
"So what!! I haven't been discharged from the army yet, so don't even want to be a deserter. β
"Deserters?" Paul crooked his mouth and laughed, "Sir, we've been together for so long, what are you thinking in your heart, don't I know?" β
"Hey, tell me what I'm thinking."
"You're thinking, grass, this kid is amazing, dare to think and dare to do, if only Lao Tzu had this courage."
β...β
There was silence.
Then, Phillips, who had been told what was in his heart, blushed slightly.
Hey, why didn't he want to slap those senators twice, and then put down a cruel word, saying that Lao Tzu would quit.
But no, there are still so many projects in hand, and the funding is about to come down, so I can't just leave it alone.
Tough no, Phillips changed to serious again.
"Paul, you are not a child anymore, everything cannot be messed up by temperament, how many people envy your current achievements..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk like I'm nothing if I leave the army, and don't act like I won't come to see you after I leave the army."
Phillips was slightly stunned: "... What? You're going to come and see me, old man? β
"Of course, and you're not an old man, you're my respected guide~"
Hearing this, Phillips's expression was a little happy and touched.
You see, let's just say it's like a little daughter-in-law.
To lighten the mood further, Paul picked up the lighter on the table, lit two cigars, and handed one to Phillips.
After taking a deep breath, Phillips sighed.
"After being discharged from the army... Where to? β
"New York."
"Why?"
"Make money."
β... What if I need your help in the future? β
"No matter how many miles you go, I will definitely come to help you!" Paul didn't think twice.
In any case, Phillips is also the person Paul looks up to most in the army, and the two have been on the battlefield together, and they still have the relationship they should have.
What's more, something is also Mr. X's business.
After another moment of silence, Phillips said, "Okay, I'll think about it for two days." β
"What are you thinking about, the chapter is in the second drawer on your right, take it out and cover it, I still have to go to human resources and social security to go through the process."
β...β
"Okay, hurry up, don't be a little temperant, daughter-in-law... Sir. β
After a brief moment of eye contact, Phillips sighed.
"A war hero, Steve. Rogers is much more obedient than you, TMD, why didn't you die? β
With that, he took out a large square red badge from the drawer.
'Smack! β
", brute."
