Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Church Comes
At that time, because of the limelight, the recruitment of the Silver Oak Mercenary Group was unexpectedly smooth, although only 150 mercenaries were collected, but each of them was a leader with unlimited potential. There are even two or three people who are even more talented than the blonde Jamie.
"Although we have generally tested and investigated the recruitment, it is difficult to say whether there are any other powerful people mixed in. Let's not spread the word about this matter yet. Bruce suggested.
"Why don't you wait until this matter is settled, and then tell them, if you are afraid of offending the Church of Light and don't want to stay, let them go. Fang Qiubai thought for a moment and said.
Illya thought for a moment and agreed with Fang Qiubai's opinion, and after finding that there were no more problems, Silver Oak Leaf's first all-time plenary meeting was dissolved.
Bruce and the others left in a hurry, preparing to seize the time to take on a few more tasks before the assembly hall closed, and those present were all insiders, knowing the importance of the magic crystal to Fang Qiubai.
Looking at Illya, who was tired but still holding on, Fang Qiubai said with concern: "Xiaoya, you should rest early, see that you are tired." ”
Illya stretched, even the thick leather armor could not hide her perfect curves, patted her forehead gently, Illya smiled and replied: "Well, I'll rest in a while, but do you think Mr. Zhuge will come true?"
"It's not so much a guess, it's more that he deduced it based on a few small things, so it must not be wrong. Zhuge Liang's strategy is well known in another world. Looking at Illya distressedly, Fang Qiubai replied confidently.
Forcibly sending Illya, who had never been able to let go of her heart, back to the room, Fang Qiubai also felt a little tired and prepared to go back to his bedroom to rest.
It is worth mentioning that the mercenaries enthusiastically built a large number of houses, so now everyone lives together, but Fang Qiubai and Illya occupy a two-story cabin, and the other mercenaries settle in another cabin.
It can be said that there are several small cabins that were built on impulse at that time, except for two that were used as accommodation and one for everyone to rest and entertain, the rest were still empty and I don't know what to do. Every time he thought of this, compared with the high housing prices in his previous life, Fang Qiubai wanted to laugh a little.
Fang Qiubai, who got up early the next morning, came to Illya's room, but found that the other party was not there.
Strangely went out of the door, just in time to see Zhuge Liang who was looking up at the sky outside the door and smiling faintly, Fang Qiubai opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Zhuge so early?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I have temporarily closed the Eight Array Diagram at the door to facilitate the reception of distinguished guests. By the way, I suggest that Miss Illya and the other mercenaries try to take on the mission at the assembly hall today, and if something happens, it won't affect them. ”
"Then you'll have to bother, is there anything I can do?"
"If I can, I hope I'll have the final say then, and I'll have Yagami as my assistant. Zhuge Liang said with a serious face.
Fang Qiubai, who didn't feel that Zhuge Liang's request was too much, said with a smile: "No problem, I'll watch from the sidelines when the time comes, I absolutely believe in Mr.'s strength." ”
Seeing Fang Qiubai looking around, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Are you looking for the Eight Gods?" He is hunting 5-star demonic beasts in the assembly hall, if it weren't for the time it took to set up this place, I would also want to go to that world to feel the power of that space." ”
Looking at the surroundings that were no different from usual, Fang Qiubai asked suspiciously, "Are there any other formations arranged here?"
"Not only the inner courtyard, but the entire station has been lit up with a magic circle, but now it is forbidden, even if you don't need it today, you can use it again in the future. Zhuge Liang's gaze fell into the void, and there was a hint of pride in his tone, which was confidence in his own strength, he believed that as long as he didn't take the initiative to launch the formation, no one could think of what kind of strict protection this ordinary station was in.
On this idle morning, Fang Qiubai, who was idle and had nothing to do, gossiped about Dasheng, and asked Zhuge Liang curiously: "Mr. Zhuge , there is such a passage to describe your life. The body has not risen and thought of regressing, and the success should be recalled, after the poor gentleman admonished, the stars fell in the autumn wind. Do you ever regret it?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a moment of confusion, and he said slowly: "The first emperor was not despicable to his ministers, he was indecent, he was in the grass house, and the ministers were in the world."
Fang Qiubai said with emotion: "This is a teacher's table, right! Mr. Zhuge is brave and loyal, and everyone in the world knows the way. ”
Zhuge Liang turned his head and chuckled: "Liang thinks that it is strictly forbidden to be cautious in doing things in his life, but there are three major regrets that are not easy to talk about. ”
Fang Qiubai immediately perked up and listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.
"Liang Yi regrets that Yun has been guarding Jingzhou for a long time, and the second regret is not preventing the first lord from attacking Wu," Zhuge Liang sighed.
"I don't think you can blame you, sir, being rigid and self-contained is General Guan's biggest and only shortcoming, because he lost Jingzhou carelessly, what did he have to do with Mr.?" Fang Qiubai was puzzled.
"At that time, the better candidates were actually Zilong and Wenchang, but it was a pity that Liang thought too much at that time, but it was a big deal. ”
Although Zhuge Liang didn't say anything and thought too much, Fang Qiubai, who had read a lot of related books, still understood what Zhuge Liang wanted to express, it was nothing more than that Zhao Yun's qualifications were too shallow, and it was not like Guan Yu who won Liu Bei's trust, and Wei Yangang had just joined, so he couldn't let go.
"Isn't the master of Wu first, isn't the gentleman also trying to dissuade him? ”
"If Liang had died with the heart of death, the result would be different. ”
"Who doesn't have some regrets?What is the third thing, sir?" Fang Qiubai had no choice but to change the topic, after all, Liu Bei's defeat of Wu could also be said to be the result of Guan Yu's defense of Jingzhou, and a series of chain reactions led to the decline of the Shu Kingdom.
"The last thing is that Wei Yan is a lonely person who is good at using tricks, but Liang" Zhuge Liang said halfway, turned his head to look outside the station, and said with a smile: "As expected, the guests of the church are here." ”
Fang Qiubai looked down, and a priest in a white robe with kind eyes was walking towards the two of them at the door.
"Hello Father, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you. Under Zhuge Liang's signal, Fang Qiubai greeted him.
"May the Light protect you, I'm Bishop Thoros, I wonder if Leader Illya is there?" replied with a friendly smile.
"Bishop Soros, please. Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and made a false invitation gesture, inviting the other party to go inside, and said: "The head of the regiment took the elite of our mercenary group to the depths of the Phantom Forest to practice, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao this time?"
"I heard that something big is happening in the Phantom Forest, aren't you afraid of any accidents when you go in at this time?" said Soros with a worried expression.
"Archmage Lena is also with them, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Zhuge Liangyun replied lightly.
"I don't know what Your Excellency Lu Dao is called?" Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance that he could call the shots in everything, Soros couldn't help but ask.
"In Xia Liang, the inside and outside of the Silver Oak Mercenary Group are temporarily taken care of by me, if there is anything you need our help with, please feel free to ask, I am deeply honored to be able to serve the church. Zhuge Liang did not forget to compliment the other party when he introduced himself.
The three of them came to the reception room and sat down, Zhuge Liang said apologetically: "Recently, the mercenary group has just started to develop, everything is too chaotic, there is not even a person who brings tea and water, and I hope to forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”
Soros waved his hand again and again: "Don't be so polite, the people of our church don't care about these material enjoyment, it's good now." Soros was talking politely to Zhuge Liang while guessing the identity of this Zhuge Liang. Looking at the side without saying a word, everything is even more strange with Zhuge Liang in charge. The judgment that he originally thought that Fang Qiubai was the master behind the scenes became hesitant.
"I don't know if what Your Excellency said just now, you can call the shots about the Silver Oak Leaf Mercenary Group?" Soros pondered in his heart for a long time, and finally asked.
"Of course you can, but there are some things that still need to be discussed with the members of the group, I don't know what is the matter with Master Lu Dao? In this way, Fang Qiubai, you go and find Yagami. Zhuge Liang smiled pleasantly, turned his head and instructed Fang Qiubai.
"I'll go. Fang Qiubai got up and replied respectfully, turned around and walked towards the door.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Soros, who was already confused about his own judgment, completely abandoned his original idea and decided that Zhuge Liang was the master behind the Silver Oak Leaf Mercenary Group.
"It seems a little tricky. Looking at the elegant and wise Zhuge Liang, Soros felt that such a goal was more difficult to grasp than the young man just now.
