Volume 1 Dream Treading Dust Chapter 03 Recruit Registration
Elite troops of the Virginia Empire.
"Recruits, Bai Lianzhou, Recruits, Bai Lianzhou, where did they go?"
With the officer's shout, I saw a panicked teenager running up from the end of the whole unit while making a report. The eyes of all the soldiers were attracted by this young man named Bai Lianzhou:
I think I just woke up, and my hair is messy. The young man's eyebrows and eyes are very gentle, his facial features are upright and handsome, but his face is childish, and he looks like a half-grown child who has not yet reached adulthood; this young man has no muscles at all, and he is wearing a brand-new Cheng Liang armor, which makes him extremely thin and weak. The clothes inside were very old, as if they had been temporarily turned out of my father's old suitcase, and they were very ill-fitting, the collar was half-pressed inside, and the yellowed cuffs had run out of thread and a button had fallen off.
I was late on the first day of my arrival, and I was really daring.
"Your name is Bai Lianzhou? You kid is really grinding, the others have already finished gathering here, and you haven't gotten up yet! Today is the first day of the expedition to the Violet Empire, and you dare to be late! Slack! Lazy! Undisciplined!"
Bai Lianzhou was so drunk that he trembled: "It's the first time you come to live in the army, sir, you have a lot of forbearance, a lot of forbearance." ”
"Introduce yourself!"
"It's sir!" Bai Lianzhou immediately stood still and bowed deeply to the large army, "Recruit No. 1, astrologer Bai Lianzhou! Please take care of the seniors!"
Before the slick boy could return to the group and stand still, whispers came from the crowd.
"He's the astrologer that our troops brought this time? Is he reliable? He doesn't look like an adult......
"Yes, yes, is he eighteen years old? I've never seen him in the astrologers before, and he dared to be late on the first day, what a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky. ”
"Look at his poor and sour appearance, why did he come out to fight and didn't bring a few new clothes at home, you see that the spiritual clothes on his body have been washed and faded. ”
"What is he holding in his hand? Why do you still carry a book when you go to battle?"
"Hey, you don't understand this, you don't have the ability to play knives and guns, this kid, usually snuggles in the tent to write, when you see that you don't have the same realm, people will definitely be the king's bookkeepers in the future, haha......"
The ridicule and whispers around him became louder and louder, and Bai Lianzhou was red-faced and red-eared when he heard it, and he dared not speak angrily. In this elite army of the Virginia Empire, he is the only one who comes from an ordinary town with no name, an out-and-out small family, and a proper poor boy. The other spirits in the team were either from famous families, royal clansmen, or descendants of the elders of the clan, and all of them were gifted genius spirits who were outstanding.
The reason why Bai Lianzhou is ranked "No. 1" is because he is the only one in this team who is a recruit.
"Stop arguing!" shouted a psychic at the head of the group, a little impatiently.
The whole army fell silent because of these three words, and only a few voices complained occasionally: "Why is Ernest so protective of this poor acid astrologer, it's really unfair......
He was the youngest in his army, but he was the only astrologer. No matter which empire's astrologer is, he is the most powerful speaker in the team - but the astrologer spirit can't come, and the battle plan of this trip depends on his idea as a "bear child", which naturally causes a lot of gossip.
Many of the spiritualists of the elite troops of Virginia are pampered at home, and he is used to sneering and commanding him in the army, and he will not take it to heart at all...... But at this time, his own amorous heart warmed, and he felt that this spiritual magician named Ernest had stood up for him.
Bai Lianzhou couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The man was wearing a silver-white psychic robe and stood in the middle of the line, far away, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he could vaguely see that the man was majestic and had an extraordinary temperament, and he should have come from one of the most prominent families in the entire empire.
"Recruit, tell me about last night's astrological results. ”
"Ah, yes, sir!" Bai Lianzhou suddenly came back to his senses, quickly opened the small book he was holding, and pulled out a map from between the pages, only to see that the map was marked with different colors, and he pointed out the route to the chief, "We are here now, to the south, after four passes, you can reach the border of the Violet Empire, and then pass a pass to get here...... Yes, from here, you can go to the area where the two countries are at war. We will not encounter reinforcements from the Gerry Empire on this part of the way, and we can set up camp in the north, and after a little rectification, we will march south, and in less than a day we will reach St. Randle, the capital of the Violet Empire. ”
There was another sigh in the crowd.
Xu is the first time this kid has gone far away, he has no actual combat experience, and he scribbled a little, several officers came forward, frowned and studied the dense small markings on this map, and after a long time, he nodded and ordered to march.
Bai Lianzhou also obediently followed at the end of the team, thinking about his own thoughts.
This elite unit belongs to the Virginia Empire and is an anemo-elemental team under the blessing of the God of the North Wind.
The god of the north wind symbolizes endless cold storms and long winters, and the spirit of the wind attribute has always been known for turning the invisible into the tangible, and is the most treacherous and changeable elemental species on the whole continent, but the life of the wind spirit masters is not easy, and they will feel the cold air constantly invading their cities throughout the year.
They are now marching towards the Violet Empire in the west of the continent.
This war was originally initiated by the powerful Fire Elemental Empire, and it has been in a stalemate with the Water Elemental Empire for three years.
Bai Lianzhou has always thought in his heart that this is an unjust battle - because as a wind spirit master, they can completely suppress the play of the water spirit master in terms of attributes, and at this time, they take advantage of the weakness to enter and want to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the two armies at the end of the war to take advantage of the fisherman's advantage, no matter how they think about it, they feel that it is the work of cunning and villains.
He had an ominous premonition that this would not be good for an astrologer.
"Bai Lianzhou, can you lend me your map to see. A voice rang out in his ears, interrupting his thoughts.
The boy looked up and saw that it was Ernest. Looking at him closely, he was about twenty-five or sixteen, his face was ordinary, but his eyes were completely white, and he couldn't see the direction of his pupils' focus, and he was a little terrifying at first glance.
Bai Lianzhou hurriedly handed over the map and said, "Give it to ...... Here you go. ”
Ernest raised an eyebrow and glared and asked, "What do you always stare at my face?"
"I didn't ...... Nothing, just curious, your eyes ......"
Ernest ignored it, just swept his cloudy eyes towards the map in his hand, not knowing if he had cataracts in his eyes, or if he was completely blind.
"Mr. Ernest, am I wrong in my inference?" Bai Lianzhou's free hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, hiding the uneasiness in his heart.
"No, it's just that I just saw a few colonels and officers frowning, and I'm a little curious about how bad your map is. Ernest spoke in an unexpectedly flat tone, without hint of sarcasm. He looked in the direction of Bai Lianzhou, his pupils were still unfocused, "You are very familiar with the Violet Empire, and you even know these passes that are not marked on the map, have you been there before?"
Bai Lianzhou said a little embarrassed: "I haven't been there in person...... However, my mother is from the Violet Empire, and she has often told me stories about the Water Empire before, mentioning these places. I deliberately checked the map versions in the last ten years, and there are no major changes, so I think these roads should still be able to walk. ”
"That's ...... What's in your hand? Diary?"
"Ah, yes. Bai Lianzhou raised the notebook in his hand, "I'm usually bored, so I like to write something." ”
"Show me. ”
Bai Lianzhou handed the book to Ernest's hand with a little twist.
"Are you a little girl? Ernest turned his head and looked at Bai Lianzhou's flushed little face a little blankly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He flipped through the somewhat crumpled diary, and compared with the eclectic appearance of his own appearance, the young man's handwriting was quite chic and delicate, like a schoolboy writing an essay, each page was marked with a date, and the words and sentences were used rigorously, and few alterations were made.
He flipped back a few more pages, and the illustrations became more numerous, most of them were the results of the divination of the past few days, and there was a neat row of plan conjectures under each result.
Can this man see things clearly? Bai Lianzhou muttered in his heart.
"You've worked hard, not bad. Ernest returned the diary to Bai Lianzhou, pointed to an abrupt red dot on the map, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Bai Lianzhou came over, and Ernest was referring to a marker on the outskirts of St. Randall, the capital of the Violet Empire. He said a little mysteriously: "I can't tell you this, as an astrologer, although I can freely divinate things on the mainland, but it will be troublesome to leak the heavenly secrets too much...... I'll tell you the bottom of it, this is my major discovery, and I'll definitely go and see it for myself when we get to the Violet Empire. ”
Ernest said disdainfully: "Seeing that the Gerry Empire is about to attack the imperial capital of Violet, the place you marked is in the city of St. Randle, and during the war, you broke into the royal capital, if you are caught by the patrolling soldiers, we have no one to go and save you." ”
Bai Lianzhou lowered his voice with some regret and said, "Hey, but...... This is indeed the greatest discovery of my life, and I am really unwilling if I don't go to see it! Otherwise, Ernest, you go with me, and we can still take care of each other, and when the time comes, you give me the wind, and I will go in and see and come out, how about ......it? I'm just talking to you!"
This idiot...... Ernest scolded secretly, and Zhengse said to Bai Lianzhou: "I really don't know why the astrologers chose you as a little kid with no hair. You are not allowed to go, and you are not allowed to take any of the other people in the army with you, and when the war is over, you will personally go and ask for the consent of your astrological patriarch. Now you will stay in the tent honestly, and you shall not run around without the orders of the commander. ”
"Oh...... Got it. Bai Lianzhou sighed helplessly, thinking that this Ernest had the same temper as his father, old-fashioned, and had no curiosity among young people, and it was a set of training people. I invited him with kindness, and he didn't appreciate it, and he had a lump of wood.
"It should be almost time for the Violet Empire, you go and inform the soldiers in the carriage in front of you, we are here to reorganize and rest. Ernest threw down a command without a wave, and walked away.
