Along the wide Sherridge Boulevard, Qi Lang followed Yuli towards the barracks west of the town. His face did not have the usual joy of a child, but was surprisingly calm, and he just kept his head down and stepped on Yuli's shadow, following closely and quietly, even though it was the first time in his life that he had visited the busiest street on the continent of North Lelikum.

"Look, that oriental boy ......" "He's really alive, are those wolves just catching up with those two days of bad appetite?" The stinging of ill-wishful glances made Yuri uncomfortable, and he felt that along the way, he had become a monster that could not be bitten by a hungry wolf, and was being locked in a wooden cage and pushed around the streets, making the townspeople laugh and judge.

"Bansley, have you lost your manners in the Black Forest?" yelled Yuli viciously to one of the hunters pretending to be haggling at the meat stall, "Don't forget to go to the clinic to pay back, I remember very well, it's seven Bernies!"

It wasn't a lot of money, but it was enough to make Bansley shut his mouth, put down the felt hat on his head, and hurried away.

"You're being mean, Yuri. A young man of medium stature turned around the corner from Ocon Street and looked at Yuri's round red face with a smile, "You should really learn from Dr. Coombe's forgiveness and kindness. ”

"Lieutenant Dodim!" Yuli sighed in relief, "What a coincidence, I was about to go to you, and Dr. Coombe said that Qi Lang had taken care of it." ”

Needless to say, Dodim had already stood in front of Qi Lang and looked up and down curiously: "Young man, you are the Oriental who escaped death from Snow Wolf Canyon?"

The word "Oriental" sounded more harsher to Qi Lang than the word "slave", and he frowned slightly, but nodded politely.

"Can I hand him over to you?" Seeing that Dodim had already struck up a conversation with Zi Lang without introducing himself, Yuri quickly found an excuse for himself to run away from the trouble, "I need to go to Barrickie's shop and buy some bandages." You know, he's pretty much used up all the bandages. ”

"It's only a little while, I have to go to the command. Dodim shouted at Yuri's back, shook his head with a helpless smile, and turned to Qi Lang and suggested, "Well, I think we'll be sitting in front of Aunt Casey's stall for a few minutes." Are you hungry, Qi Lang?"

Qi Lang avoided Dodim's pale blue eyes, shook his head, and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant Dodim." ”

"What if this is an order?" said Dodim, grimacing, "If you become a soldier of the Luman Empire, you should follow the orders of a guard captain. Look at your little body, I should order you to eat twenty chicken thigh burgers a day. ”

Qi Lang heard this as a joke and laughed softly.

Dodime has the ability to make you accept him very easily and naturally within 30 seconds of meeting, and in another 5 minutes, you will feel that he is a friend you have known for almost a lifetime.

Sure enough, when Qi Lang sat on the paulownia bench with Dodim for a while, the number of words he said had almost exceeded the total number of words in more than a month.

There was nothing unpleasant about Dodim's question, for example, he never asked directly about all the unhappy memories of Qi Lang's past, but more about what he had seen and heard in the East. From his words, Qi Lang understood that the person in front of him was different from other people, and he respected the mysterious culture of the Orientals, just as he respected all other races in the world. It's just that the words in his mouth seem to be too mysterious, for he himself has never heard of anyone conjuring a weapon out of thin air in his hand like a trick, and likewise, he has never heard of a warrior from the East who can fly into the sky just by stepping on the air.

When Qi Lang couldn't help but correct some of Dodim's opinions, he also collected his scattered memories and revealed some of the unattainable beauty of his hometown: the vast fields, the green grass, and the white clouds floating in the sky...... Unfortunately, there never seemed to be a rampaging warrior on the white clouds.

Dodim didn't ask why Qi Lang ended up being a slave and taken to the Luhmann Empire in the far north. Because the event is usually accompanied by painful memories, and the truth is often strikingly similar: many of the ancient kingdoms of the East were destroyed under the iron heel of the Otto Empire, and the conquered people were either killed in battle or sold cheaply to other Western empires, becoming slaves who had lost their freedom and dignity. On the borders of the Luman Empire, tens of thousands of similar transactions were made every day.

However, Dodim still asked Qi Lang a question, that is, when he was in Snow Wolf Canyon that day, he really saw the snow-white giant wolf. Qi Lang did not hesitate to lie at that moment - he could not tell anyone about it, especially since this person could have a bearing on whether he would succeed in becoming a soldier.

After about half an hour, Yuri still came back in a hurry. Dodim was almost delayed in presenting a war report to Major William.

"That's right, Qi Lang. But Lieutenant Dodim's mind didn't completely leave Qi Lang, he only took two steps, and then turned back, "Since you have chosen to be a soldier, have you considered coming to the Whirling Front?"

Qi Lang felt as if his eyes had suddenly lit up by something at this time.

The famous Spiral Army!?The Spiral Army that conquered the North Lelicum Continent and wiped out the ferocious mutant liger!?

He even began to suspect that Dodim was playing a joke on him, as he had planned to fight hard in the army before looking for an opportunity to apply to join the Spinner. The reason why he chose to break into the Snow Wolf Canyon, while getting rid of his slave status, and fighting for a chance to become a soldier for himself, has always been just for this one goal - the Spiral Front!

Dodim could already see the enthusiasm, or rather eagerness, in Qi Lang's eyes, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Yuli, in thirty minutes, take him to the recruiting office and come to me. Dodim spread his legs and ran, and it looked like he had to hurry, but his voice came back clearly and accurately, "Remember to be on time, I only have about three minutes." ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, thirty minutes after Dodim's confession, Yuri was disappointed to find that Dodim had not kept the agreed time, and it seemed that Major William, who had always been more serious, could not cope with it in a few words.

In front of the thick, sharp-edged pine fences in front of the recruiting office, many people had gathered in piles. In another ten minutes, the recruitment process of the new battle group of the Xuanfeng Army will officially bebegin. As the elite of the elite of the Imperial Army, there are not many young people who dare to come here to enlist, but it seems that there can be hundreds. The lads were moving their shoulders and eager to show off their talents.

As the minutes passed, Yuri's disappointment slowly began to turn into despair - he had already heard that the elimination ratio of the Spiral Blade Army was about one out of ten, and compared to those strong young men, Qi Lang couldn't see the appearance of a soldier at all. Presumably, the child would have to go back with him, and obediently do odd jobs at Dr. Coombe's clinic. Yuri was thinking to himself. But does that mean that his salary will be discounted as a result?

"Yuli, I didn't expect you to sign up for the army too. A skinny, middle-aged non-commissioned officer walked over to the table and sat down, greeting Yuli with a grin, "Dr. Coombe cut your food bill?"

"No kidding, Autran. Yuri breathed a sigh of relief. Otrang had seen a dental problem with Dr. Coombe, and the second molars on his left side had been pulled out by Dr. Coombe and Uly.

"It turns out that you are in charge of the recruitment work, so it will be much easier. It's this guy who's coming to join the army, and Dr. Qom and I are guarantors. Yuri secretly pushed his chest higher in the back as he pushed Qi Lang up.

"Huh—are you kidding?" the disdain in Autran's eyes couldn't be more obvious, "he's an Oriental!"

"What about the Orientals? We in the Luhmann Empire eradicated racial discrimination a century ago!" Yuli argued loudly, "My mother's mother's father is an Oriental. You must take back what you just said!"

Ottran looked at Yuri with his mouth wide open in astonishment, and even the gaps in his molars were clearly visible. He didn't seem to have figured out what percentage of Yuri's mixed race was for a while: "Okay, good...... I retract what I just said. But he's too young, it's always true, right? I bet he's not even nine years old...... Uh, good afternoon, Lieutenant Dodim. Autran's swollen eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of his captain, and he quickly tossed Yuri aside, stood up straight, and gave a military salute to Dodim.

"Good afternoon, Sergeant Autram. Dodim returned the salute and waved his hand easily, but he was already exhausted by Major William's in-depth analysis, "What's wrong? I've heard of racism in our barracks?"

"No, Captain of the Guard. Autran smiled flatteringly, "I'm kidding Yuri." You know, just tease him...... But this kid is really too small, I'm afraid ......."

"I think this kid is very good. I see something in him, huh...... He has some qualities that the children here don't have. Dodim interrupted Otrang, as if he had seen Qi Lang for the first time, and looked up and down a few times very seriously, but secretly winked at him, "I wish I could see him in the barracks tomorrow, Sergeant Autran!"

"Yes, Captain of the Guard. Autran bowed to Dodim, "You have always had the best eyesight in our legion, and you can't be wrong about that. I dare say that this kid will definitely become the pride of our Spiral Army!"
