Among the many characteristics of the defense forces, there is a very classical rule, but no foreign counterparts dare to introduce it.

That is, you have to pay for everything out of your own pocket.

From the consuls to the soldiers, the cost of food per day was the same. The monthly salary is deducted from the military salary, and the military kitchen provides catering services in a unified manner, and there is no small stove, so that everyone can enjoy dark cuisine such as spam and MRE together, and no one can escape. If you want to eat steak and drink red wine, you can, please hire a chef and servants out of your own pocket, and bring your own ingredients.

This is actually a typical military aristocratic culture. In the past, human knights also paid for equipment and hired servants at their own expense. Some knights were keen to marry the daughters of wealthy nobles in order to make ends meet, and courtship oderes and jousting duels were seen as romantic conversations.

Charlemagne's army had also upheld this quaint tradition, but with one victory after another, and the seizure of immense wealth that had previously been unimaginable, the heads of officers and officers began to burn, and they became addicted to corruption and pleasure, while actively planning more wars for the benefit of themselves and their men.

Because of this, the consuls were not worried that Charlemagne would adjust his strategy and take a coordinated peace course. You must know that peace may bring peace and tranquility to the country, and digesting the fruits of war can also bring a round of prosperity. But for the army, the truce meant the end of the world. Disarmament, reemployment, disappearance of privileges, and low status of the military...... That alone made them shudder. So after losing the restraint of Charles IV and Richelieu, this gang of Qiu Ba, who can't do anything but kill people, will definitely carry the war to the end until the whole country is dragged to the end. If anyone dares to stand in the way, it must be a god who blocks and kills God, and a Buddha who blocks and slaughters Buddha.

With Charlemagne as a negative teaching material, the Alfheim Defense Force has long been prepared for related problems. Appropriate enrichment is tolerable. If you want to engage in industrial chain corruption, you must have the consciousness of being eliminated. In addition, there is an extremely strong boss above, and the military salary is generous enough, so there is really no need to take the risk of losing your head and covet it for a while.

In addition, with the existence of the "Forced Marriage Law", most of the officer class in the army have already started a family and have to support their families with salaries. Generally speaking, the officers and men of the defense are still relatively economical.

However, it is not without exceptions.

A mountain of desserts.

From calories to price. A mountain of desserts that can scare countless men and women out of heart disease.

The stomach pouch is like a bottomless pit, and the two pro-guard giants who can't get out of shape no matter how much they eat are also fighting with desserts today.

“...... Say 'I can't control that unfilial girl' and think that he can push the responsibility away, the old guy is still as cunning as ever. ”

Picking up a piece of raw cheesecake, Victoria looked resentful.

"What do you expect him to say, to turn his face with that adult, or to kill his relatives in righteousness?"

Swallowing tiramisu, Nidhogg's face was full of disdain.

The special case in the defense force is these two noble ancient species.

They are the ancient species, and they are also the glorious pro-guard giants, and they have invested their family property in the operation and development of the consortium early. enjoys a huge amount of original share dividends, and now he is already a wealthy man. The mountain of desserts is nothing to them at all.

Money, power, status - everything that ordinary people have struggled for all their lives has not yet achieved in one place, and Victoria still shows a lack of satisfaction.

Just because these things are not what she craves the most.

On the surface, she is in a revered position with Nidhogg, but this is limited to the world of the lower races. Only they knew that they were actually a group of people who had been marginalized by dragon society, only slightly better than the exiled Azdahaka. Based on the inferiority complex of "not being recognized" and the revenge psychology of "letting the old guys fall at their feet", the red dragon chose to serve under Li Lin.

That's why she cares so much about Valrhona after she becomes Roland's companion. The reaction of the dragons, especially the patriarch, had disappointed her.

"As long as the dragons don't jump in and take sides. The adult doesn't have to waste time and energy on them. If you really expect the old man's reaction so much, why don't you just wait for the golden lady to be captured or killed?"

"That's right, what kind of frustrated and embarrassed expressions will the father and daughter show when the time comes? ”

"Who knows, that's not my cup of tea. It doesn't make me happy, and it doesn't make my appetite better. In contrast, washing the Archon's clothes would make me swallow three jars of rice. ”

The captain of the pro-guard team looked intoxicated and excited, and his wandering eyes shone strangely.

Like a knight, he has a squire to take care of his life. The captain of the pro-guard was also responsible for part of the consul's daily life, and the washing of clothes was not to be touched by others.

Actually, it's nothing. For a ghost animal like Li Lin who can circle the world three times in a queue, security needs are bound to become the highest priority. The Captain of the Guards will wash his clothes, at least without worrying about some strange things being put on his clothes by gangsters to murder the Great Leader.

The only problem is the way the laundry is done.

The captain of the pro-guard does not use a washing machine. There is no need to wash by hand, and laundry detergent and laundry detergent are all dispersed. The way he washes his clothes is very dragonlike.

The correct method of Niedhog flow laundry is as follows: first, remove the change and return to the dragon form, second, lift the entire cylinder of archon's pantyhose and socks that have been accumulated in a week above the top, open the bloody mouth, and pour it into the mouth without blinking, the third step is to chew slowly and savorly, soak the easily damaged underwear with saliva that dissolves only the dirt, and move up and down enough to bite the roots of the World Tree to remove the stubborn stains on the coat, and the third step is to wring out the clothes with a long tongue as tough as steel and soft as tentacles, and then hang it to dry。 Look, it's as white as using Tide, and it has a special fragrance!

Note: In case of rainy weather, you can use "Dragon's Breath" or Charged Particle Cannon to open holes in the rain clouds to ensure that the sun shines.

"You know? When the feeling of the soul melting spreads and entangles on the tip of the tongue, it will automatically draw the curves of the adult's body in the head, with a flat chest, a solid abdomen, and smooth and round buttocks...... Just thinking about it makes me excited and can't sleep, and I can't wait to put my panties on my face and breathe hard into the fragrance!!"

I didn't see the horn at the corner of my mouth, but I expressed this feeling in front of me in public...... Is that okay?"

"Huh?"

Listening to Victoria's words, Nidhogg stiffened his way to his back.

"Oops. ”

Elegant posture. The gentle smile as usual exudes a chill like a glacier at the moment.

"You guys seem to be talking about something interesting, can you let me hear more about it?"

"Your Excellency?!poof!!"

Unable to ask "when was it there?" Niederhogg received a kick in the jaw and his body flew into the air and fell heavily. Before he could make close contact with the marble floor, a storm of kicks came up.

The 30-th-second high-speed kicks made a dull sound, sounding like an oiled ripper running at full capacity, with carefully programmed kicks that prevented Nidhogg from landing or being kicked off, just staying in the air and taking the kicks continuously.

After a full minute, Victoria reminded:

"Your Excellency, if you kick it any longer, you'll die. ”

A perfect high leg kick sent the captain of the Guards rocketing upwards, followed by an explosion. Dust and cement debris slowly fell, and the head of the captain of the pro-guard team sank completely into the ceiling, and his body swayed in the wind, judging by the fact that his limbs were still twitching and shaking, he should still be alive.

Li Lin casually pulled over the chair and sat down opposite Victoria, probably seeing too many similar scenes, and the officers and soldiers who were eating in the canteen did not look at the whole process. Enjoying his lunch intently, but the conversation was a little louder than before.

Victoria silently cleaned up her dishes. Anyone can see it. The consul seemed to be in a bad mood. Victoria, however, knew that things were not simple. The Archon, who has always been known for his rationality and self-control, could not have given a "foot beyond recognition" just for Niedhogg's idiotic speech, which was generally just a correction punch.

Apparently, someone had stepped on this man's tail.

"Victoria. ”

Li Lin asked calmly:

"What would you do if someone tried to steal your most precious treasure?"

"Slaughtered. ”

Without hesitation, Victoria replied:

"Slaughter all the robbers of the treasure. The guys who were suspected were all slaughtered, and the guys who were suspected of having that kind of thinking were also slaughtered. Kill them all with a curse, and cast a curse on their descendants for generations to come. ”

Dragons are known for their dedication to collectibles, and they will not be kind to those who invade their territory and steal treasure.

It's not just dragons. Everyone has a realm that cannot be interfered with by others, but everyone's taboo object is different.

Li Lin does not have emotions similar to "obsession" and "delusion", and the people around him, including Brunhill, think that the archon's requirements for personal feelings are quite low, not so that the four are empty, have no desires, and have a little bit of a pure heart and few desires.

But that doesn't mean he's a quiet hermit, a merciful Virgin. He also has intolerable things, and those who step on the bottom line will also have to pay for it.

For example, the bastards who get in the way, sabotage his plans, and try to disrupt the situation.

Everybody hates spoiler bastards, especially the guys who jump out at critical moments. This time, some of the guys not only tried to stir things up, but they also stomped on the Archon's tail as soon as they went out.

Someone has to pay for it.

"Nied Hogg. ”

With a bang, a large hole appeared in the ceiling, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the captain of the personal guard, with a cement dog belt around his neck, was as straight as a javelin.

"You two get ready and accompany me out the door. ”

Li Lin grinned, poked his temple and said:

"Some outdated guys urgently need to be educated on how to behave, starting with 'you must die if you touch other people's toys'. ”

Notre-Dame (Notre.Dame).

One of the oldest religious facilities in Lüdes and one of the oldest religious lands. Back in the days of the Kingdom of Gilmania, the site was a shrine dedicated to the Mother Goddess, and today this Gothic building on the island of Sitti is the cathedral of the Diocese of Lüdes. In the previous "Night of the Long Knife", many buildings were damaged, but Notre-Dame Cathedral was miraculously preserved intact, and not a single brick or tile was damaged. Many believers believe that this is the protection of the Mother Goddess, a miracle, completely forgetting that the defense forces have never approached this vicinity. Otherwise, in the style of that group of house demolition experts. It's hard to say what will become of this area.

In any case, the historic building, which took 180 years to complete, survived the catastrophe and is now witnessing a moment in Charlemagne's history and around the world.

Two young girls stroll through the corridor of living history.

The two girls of the same grade give people a completely different feeling, the one on the left who is wearing a nun's dress is like a holy white lily, giving people a soft and warm feeling, and the girl on the right who is wearing civilian clothes gives people a calm feeling of washing their faces. Like a female leopard moving silently.

There is no concept of "tourism" in the countries, and there are no labor organizations that organize tourism, let alone point-and-shoot cameras at affordable prices. It is the believers who will enter the religious facilities, and in this kind of church with a deep historical background, even those who have a shallow faith will feel the sacred and solemn atmosphere and consciously restrain their behavior.

At the beginning of the route, a huge statue of the Mother Goddess, which is nearly twice the height of an adult, stands in front of you.

In contrast to the large, uneventful gigantic sculptures of Alfheim, the delicacy of the shapes is overwhelming.

Eyes full of love, a smile full of maternal brilliance. The gentle arms hold the baby symbolizing humanity, every finger is infused with unsparing maternal love, and even every fold on the garment is lodged with the spirit of reverence.

A statue of the Mother Goddess is enough to silence the most noisy old lady, and the altar reliefs and paintings on both sides of the Mother Goddess make people feel that their souls have been purified.

relief of a saint washing his feet;

Symbolic animals such as doves or lambs surround the paintings of the saints;

Wrapped in a luxurious silver bezel of craftsmanship, it narrates the magnificent painting of the brave man slaying the dragon;

The seven-colored light on the zenith is intertwined, representing the stained glass of the circle of the messenger of the gods;

The number and type of cups and flowers depicted invisibly. Even the color and arrangement of the window frames have sacred allusions. Or symbolize the saints, or confide in religious positions. Or talk about the disputes of the times.

Spanning 10 centuries, the essence of technology honed to impress human consciousness is here, in a space full of history and faith, where people can only worship, speak and behave with respect and care.

Roland is no exception.

Dressed in plain women's casual clothes, she bowed her head and listened to Ji Elle's explanation of the allusions that the relief was intended to express. The expression muscles stiffened a little, and the stomach pouch became heavier and heavier.

Suffering from chronic stomach ulcers and facial paralysis at the same time is never a pleasant experience.

Influenced by Li Lin's full set of "Spartan paternal education", many of Roland's views were inclined towards atheism and materialist dialectical thinking, and he had reservations about religious theology and idealism.

God's love for the world, the equality of all beings, the cycle of good and evil—these all sound beautiful. But isn't Yalfheim also preaching "world change," "eliminating irrationality," and "establishing a new order"? Judging from the propaganda language alone, everyone is pursuing the same goal, and it is natural to work together, but in fact the strife has never stopped. Shouting "I'm right!" as a justification for eliminating people who disagree, or even just "suspected," seems to be particularly prevalent in religious circles.

Massacres of infidels, inquisitions, inquisitions, forced proselytism, burning of everything related to foreign cultures...... When it comes to church history, it seems to be all about killing, burning, and burning, plus a bunch of fat clergy collecting money, adultery, and pedophilia. The length of culture and good deeds is simply lackluster.

Ironically, it is not the heretics and heretics who are most demeaning and vehemently criticized for the Church, but the "agent of God's will."

-- Underperforming department managers stumble upon the position of CEO and do not want to step down from a position that is not suitable for them, so they confront the newly appointed CEO of the chairman, and the means they use to fight are to show the lower limit and tear up.

......

Regardless of whether it is appropriate for a person to make such a statement as a substitute of divine will. It is easy to understand the analogy between the relationship between the mother goddess, the church, and the agent of divine will in the company.

This is the relationship between the chairman at the top, the CEO in charge of execution, and the middle departments in charge of supporting operations and liaising with subordinates and subordinates.

Since the fall of the Kingdom of Gilmania, the performance of the successive Divine Will Agents has been embarrassing, and there is no one like the Gilmania Kingdom who has been appointed as the king by the Divine Will Agent. For this reason, the Mother God delegated some of her authority to the Church. Now with excellent employees like Li Lin who are not greedy for power and have strong ability, where will the top level care about whether the incompetent middle level is dead or alive in the process of enterprise transformation. This is not charity, and it is natural that the garbage that is not useful will be cleaned up or become a victim of the transformation process.

From an efficiency and operational point of view, there is nothing wrong with this. But it is man who makes up the church. Not a puzzle of mathematical models, not factors in formulas. They will have their own ideas and act according to their own ideas.

This is an out-and-out act of rebellion, and the Mother Goddess and Li Lin will never give up. Knowing this, the church still intervened in Charlemagne's internal strife, trying to facilitate the merger of Minerva and the crown prince, and curb the rapid rise of the elven camp by supporting Charlemagne.

The reason why I dare to do this is because I have been forced into a corner and have begun to ignore it? or ...... What trump card is in your hand to avoid this calamity?

Walking through the gallery of accumulated art and history, a middle-aged nun appeared in front of her, bowed with a nervous expression, and then turned and led them to a small inconspicuous door in the depths, where the nun stood in front of the door of the deep room with her head bowed.

After nodding lightly at the nun, Giel smiled at Roland, and after receiving a nod of "ready", she opened the heavy wooden door.

Inside was a small reception room, and the Prince Louis, dressed in civilian clothes, was looking bored, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the face of the girl behind him.

Pretending not to see the unpleasant gaze, Roland followed Jiel and stepped into the reception room with his feet raised.

With a creak, the door slammed shut, leaving the nun standing outside the door without saying a word, and darkness shrouded the passageway. (To be continued.) )
