Halma's real power, the finance minister in charge of the city's economy, was sentenced to death in just a few words.

Tonali, although he usually speaks without concealment, is not a person who can speak big words, and since he said so, then this matter can be said to be completely qualitative.

And from the beginning to the end, Tonali did not ask him about what had happened the night before, and did not seem at all interested in how he had dragged the enemy until the arrival of Francis.

This made him feel a little weird, but it was not easy to say it directly.

After talking about Pollitt's side, he thought about it, and still took the initiative to say,

"I might be leaving Halma. ”

Tonali didn't react for a moment, and it took a while before his eyes widened and he said,

"Where are you going?"

Andu paused and said, "At the end of the month, the academy assessment is over, and I plan to continue my studies. ”

This is the reason he thought of at the beginning, and now he says it without thinking, and there is no trace of artificiality at all.

Tonali shook his head and said, "There is actually not much point in further study, even if you go to a senior college, if you can't be admitted to the Imperial Academy after graduation, there is actually no difference." ”

The Imperial Academy is the top college on the mainland, with a total of seven, and being admitted to the Imperial Academy is equivalent to getting the golden key to your future life.

As if he didn't find it convincing, he thought for a moment and continued,

"You are admitted to the Imperial Academy, then you graduate, and then you come out, the time in between is very long, and when you have political achievements or military industry, you will be at least in your thirties. ”

Tonali pointed to himself and gestured: "You are in Halma, do a good job as a judge, externally with me, internally you have Roy's relationship in the church, help a little, at most five years, I will be able to think of a way, you will be able to become the most influential judge in the church." ”

At the thought of the bright blueprint for the future, Tonali's breathing became a little short, and his eyes were extremely hot.

"With the two of us joining forces, Halma's Summoners Guild doesn't have to think about it at all, and at the same age of thirty, I can even find a way to make you the bishop of this city!"

Speaking of this, Tonali looked directly at Andu and spread his hands,

"Think about it, as long as you choose to stay in Halma, your future will be no less stable than if you were admitted to the Imperial Academy. ”

Andu quietly looked at the beautiful blueprint that Tonali had drawn for himself, and I had to say that if it was Andu, maybe this would already be his best choice, the pinnacle of his life.

But he's different, the secrets on his body are completely not enough to last for such a long time, he needs to find answers, find a way to save himself.

"That's a good point, but I really want to go out and see it. ”

Andu looked out the window and said, "That's what I'll never be able to do if I stay in Halma." ”

Tonali was silent for a few seconds, then drank the wine from his glass.

"Either way, I respect your decision. ”

Tonali's words are sonorous, but they are full of reluctance.

Andu smiled movingly, and said, "When the time comes, I plan to let Elizabeth live with you, and I am not very worried about her. ”

Tonali waved his hand, "She's my sister." ”

After talking to Tonali, the atmosphere between the two finally eased a lot.

After pouring himself a glass of red wine, Andu began to make small talk with Tonali, and finally it was time to talk about the upcoming college exams.

"You should be able to pass this exam. Tonali laughed.

Andu reluctantly took a sip of red wine and said, "It shouldn't be a problem." ”

Tonali recalled, "You finally succeeded, and I remember that you used to be in a hurry to solve the problem of drawing. ”

In Andu's mind, he instantly remembered the hard work that the original Andu had put in to draw, and thanks to his hard work, he was able to be so comfortable when drawing.

The difference between a hand that has been practicing drawing all year round is too big compared to a hand that has never held a pen.

As soon as his thoughts turned, Andu suddenly said, "What do you think about the wilderness survival assessment?"

Tonali said indifferently: "It's normal, we combat departments are used to this kind of thing." ”

Andu thought about it for a while, and said in a different way: "Is there anything to pay attention to?"

After all, I was in the drawing department, and the previous course only theoretically mentioned the knowledge of survival in the wild, and Tonali has a lot of experience in this regard.

As if Tonali had already known something, he said casually,

"When the time comes, you can just follow me. ”

Andu was surprised: "Follow you?"

Tonali nodded, as if remembering something, and added,

"This time the wilderness survival test is in team mode, with two combat students leading two drawing students. ”

Andu immediately understood what he meant: "Are you talking about teaming?" or free teaming?"

Tonali raised his glass approvingly: "It's a free team, do you have any good candidates? That guy from Tours has been annoying me for days!"

Andu carefully searched among the people he knew, and he really remembered someone.

"Do you know Robert?"

Tonali was stunned for a long time and couldn't react.

"Which Robert?"

Andu thought for a moment and added, "Steinbeck's son, Steinbeck Robert, the chief secretary. ”

Tonali suddenly said, "I know him, isn't he an intern at the church?"

Andu nodded: "Yes, I want to take him with me." ”

Tonali was curious: "You know him too, I heard that guy doesn't have a good relationship, and they all say he's weird." ”

Andu crossed his legs and changed positions, and suddenly smiled,

"I think he's very good, nice person. ”

Tonali didn't object, and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Robert is from the combat department, so there is only one drawing department left." ”

Speaking of this, Tonali clapped his palm: "Archibald is also from the drawing department, so you can take him with you." ”

Andu smiled: "It's up to you." ”

Tonali raised his glass and saluted him, "In a few days, we will be graduating!"

Andu raised his glass: "Three days, to be exact." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Instead of staying at Tonali's house until the evening, after chatting with each other for nearly two hours, Andu left.

It wasn't until he disappeared at the end of the street that Tonali said to the old butler Jill behind him,

"Andu is getting more and more reassuring, don't you think?"

Jill squeezed out a wrinkled smile on his face and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Tonali's eyes were deep, and he sighed, "Yes, this should be a good thing, but why am I so worried about him?"

Tonali, who couldn't answer his question, shook his head lightly, turned and walked into the villa.

The carriage was driving, and Andu thought about it and said to George who was driving,

"Take a detour, go to District 9, number 12. ”

This is the address of Robert's villa in this neighborhood.

Although George was puzzled, he was quiet, turned to the front of the car on the left, and drove to the right.

Ten minutes later, Andu finally saw Robert, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Won't you invite me in and sit down?"

Looking at Robert's surprised gaze, Andu said with a smile on his face.

......

The resplendent Palmer sailed smoothly on the boundless sea without a hint of shaking.

Even though the sky was thundering and the waves of the sea were constantly crashing against the hull, this cruise ship, known as the ship of miracles, was still unaffected in the slightest.

From a distance, it can be clearly seen that the large number of inscriptions on the hull of the ship are emitting a faint light, resisting all external shocks while providing the cruise ship with forward power.

At the bottom of the ship, which could not be seen, two rapidly spinning, whirlpool-like black holes poked out of the ship, stirring the underwater world.

Countless sea creatures became sluggish and clumsy in the face of the crystallization of human wisdom, and they were sucked into it without resistance, turning into wisps of blood mist, becoming the nourishment of the cruise ship, supplying the energy consumption of the countless inscriptions on the hull.

The tourists on the ship were forced to stay inside the ship, but they did not panic at all, and this kind of weather and climate was obviously not the first time they had encountered.

Kevin elegantly brushed aside the fresh deep-sea blue-shell crab, and the freshly ripe crab roe exuded an attractive fragrance with a steaming steam, which also made Kevin, who had a poor appetite, instantly brighten his eyes.

"It's a shame that such delicious seafood can only be tasted in the Sea of Chia. ”

The middle-aged chef on the side immediately smiled: "If you want to, this is actually a very simple thing. ”

Kane shook his head seriously and said regretfully: "Deep Sea Blue Shell Crabs are the best ingredients only when they are caught from the sea and eaten immediately, and by the time they are transported to the Imperial Capital, this delicacy has long lost its original value." ”

The chef nodded approvingly, and glanced around Kevin without a trace.

Obviously facing away from the chef, Kevin seemed to see this scene, and said lightly while tasting the food,

"Don't look for it, he's already disembarked. ”

The chef's body froze, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, but he still explained,

"What do you mean by that?"

Kevin sighed lightly: "No need to pretend, he has already left, you can return to your master like this." ”

Without waiting for the chef to react, he had already sat up from his seat and said with a hint of condemnation,

"Next time, remember to look for the seafood chef in Puerto Proya, I prefer it to the Imperial chef. ”

The cook's body trembled slightly, but he tried his best to control it, and even after being discovered, he instinctively wanted to make himself look more natural, as if it would be safer.

With a faint smile, Kevin slowly walked out of the silent restaurant, and in an instant, in the restaurant that was enough to accommodate nearly a hundred people, there was only a middle-aged chef with a cold sweat and a pale face, and he didn't know whether to go or stay.

Walking out of the restaurant, Kevin stroked the long hair in front of his forehead and smiled with a hint of curiosity,

"Where are you supposed to be now?"
