Chapter 1210 Master Russell's attack
What I don’t say is that since Lu Xi met Ruthel Clement, the most responsible person among the four great magicians in the Federation, and the spirit of a politician martyr, every time he saw him, he felt that he was more tired and aging than the last time. This made him very worried about the other party’s mental state several times, and always felt that this respectable old man would suddenly pass by one day, and then became the first great magician in the Federation to devote himself to his post in a hundred years.
This is not surprising. In the past century, with the secularization and even vulgarization of the country, bureaucrats and nobles with the identity of spellcasters are the real rulers of the country, rather than spellcasters with the identity of bureaucrats. And any spellcaster who can truly cross the boundaries of Tao and reach the side of truth probably has a side of the world? He is unwilling to be complicated and complicated in the political field to disrupt his own perception of life and death? From this perspective, Master Russell may be the former? But even so, he still crossed the door that blocked 99% of the extraordinary powers. From this perspective, the truth of the magic and the goddess of the sky are quite favored by his destiny. Of course, it may be a little at least to give this political martyr a little comfort?
...Haha, it's so disgusting. Thinking of this, Lu Xi was shocked by his brain. Only then did he realize that his brain would have such a literary and pretentious side, and I don't know when it had the sequelae.
Moreover, Master Russell, who appeared in front of him now, was in the best mental state since he met him. He was indeed very sad, looking at him with apology and pain, and sincerely mourning for the death of his good mentor and friend. Lu Xi could still feel this. But at the same time, the other party's figure was proud and high, like a young warrior who was about to set foot on the battlefield.
If you remember correctly, the federal Minister of Military Affairs and Vice Chairman of the ruling committee should be a person in his seventies. If he is an ordinary person, this is the age to retire and enjoy his grandchildren. But for a person with extraordinary strength, spirit, wisdom, keenness, will and decision are not yet at the time of rapid decline. In other words, Russell Carlement seems to be getting closer and closer to the position of the highest head of the Federation, and his fighting spirit is getting stronger. Such politicians who have improved or even completely changed the status quo of society seem to have the same spiritual qualities, and we must understand.
In the office of the Secretary of Military Affairs, Lu Xi sat facing each other again. At this moment, his eyes at him seemed to be no longer the same as the elders who were able to see with great strength and talent in the past. He loved and expected, but he also had a condescending teaching, but also a kind of equal appreciation. This made Lu Xi's mood subtly complicated, happy, but also a little sad that he didn't know where he appeared.
He sent away the secretary and the orderly soldiers, and personally brewed tea and poured tea for Lu Xi. Tea was a specialty of Nolda. When it was at its highest price, it was even equivalent to gold on the black market. So the tea was of course given by Lu Xi. The tea set was an elf antique from the Revival Age. It was beautiful and exquisite and elegant. Of course, it was also given by Lu Xi. It was bought from a dead boss. It was originally used to make coffee or other fruit drinks, but it seemed to be subtly fitting. This was probably one of the rare luxury items in Russell's office.
"You are right. Drinking tea is indeed a good way to nourish your body and mind. Whether it is the process of making tea or the moment of taste, it can make me empty my mind, and the heavy pressure disappears. Now I have to cook a pot by myself every day, and I feel that my physical and mental state are much better than before. Now I am still very confident in making tea."
Your physical condition has never been a problem. It’s just that when you sit in this position, you not only have to bear the fate and future of so many people, but all your actions will be viewed under a microscope. Of course, you have to bear a much heavier mental burden than ordinary people.
As if he felt Lu Xi's gaze on the teacup, Russell couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Speaking of this set of tea sets has just been on my table for three days. Somehow it was spread to the reporters of the "New Elaschar" and "Sky Metropolis Daily", which immediately criticized me for a while. New articles appeared almost every day, and there were many ways to curse me, just so I could just call me a national traitor. At that time, even the Senate Keringles of the Senate Supervision Council came to ask questions in person. Although nothing was found, they were still resolute. I was really embarrassed! If your reinforcements had not arrived in time, what would be the situation now, it would be hard to say."
"The media is used to this way of playing! On the one hand, it can reflect the country's freedom of speech, and on the other hand, it can also become the best tool to suppress political enemies. Once the people become a group, they are ignorant and are easily led by some incitement soft articles. Of course, they will definitely not care about the wealthy families behind the "New Elichar" and "Sky Metropolitan Daily".
The so-called support, of course, refers to the check brought by Grant and Boer. In a "democratic society with free speech", the conscience of the media can only be bought with money. Of course, let these two famous newspapers and magazines in the Federation calm down, Lu Xi actually didn't spend a penny. He was not without money, but he was just unwilling to spend money to buy such goods. He just handed over the black materials of their editor-in-chief and some famous pens to Alantis... Of course, this was all done on his back. As for the source of those black materials, we need to know that in order to continue to do conscientious news, they often came to the birthplace of journalism, Neosfia, the birthplace of the journalism industry. When everyone was tired of meetings, it was not an exaggeration to go to those famous consumer places to relax.
In short, the "New Elichard" and "Sky Metropolis" fell into turmoil soon, and the public opinion rush changed drastically, so Lu Xi naturally made great contributions. If we look at the bright and powerful setting of "democratic society" such that power and money transactions are legal, in the future, Master Russell really becomes the supreme head of the future, and should give Lu Xi a lot of policy preferences to the companies in his relationship, or simply prepare important positions with sufficient fuel and water, specializing in Lu Xi's friends, and even himself.
"So, how is the current form of the election?" Lu Xi asked with a smile: "While busy with the election and still dealing with the current work, can you hold on?"
"The left and right are just quarrels with Turner, which is also the daily work of the past. However, the audience, in addition to the veteran members, also had more ordinary people. Because of your help, at least in the current investigation, I should have a little advantage." Russell smiled and said, "Of course, there are several families who have contacted me in private and are willing to turn against me. Just take out three or four seats for ministers in the committee."
"And then, you refused?"
"Although it's a pity, I still have to refuse. I have already established the list of cabinet members of the committee. Of course, the premise is that I can really be elected." He said with a smile.
Obviously, Russell Clement is not such a "talent" person! If he had really been good at "being a human being", he might have married a lady born in a wealthy family decades ago when he just became a magician. Even if he was not good, it would be impossible to marry into a "wealthy family" with a long history. This example is not without. With his ability and spirit, he might have replaced Shio Cai Dad long ago and became the unscrupulous leader of the federal aristocratic faction. Such examples are not without.
"Do you remember what we said last time we met?" he asked.
"People from Black Man City and the main force of the Federal Mobile Fleet, please give it to me?"
"No, what I said was the last time... and I didn't say that last time! I asked you to rush over and remind Marshal Conrad on the Nasipia that you must be careful and take fierce measures to maintain military orders when necessary. I know that some setbacks are inevitable, but I didn't expect that they would fail so miserably."
"Well, the commander of the entire army appointed by the Central Committee needs to deal with a few dandy sacrificial flags when making a decision. He also needs to endorse the central government. Next time, it is better to take a little more Wang Ming Chess and Card Monk Fang Baojian, etc., this is a decisive medicine, no, this country is indeed fine!" Lu Xi saw Master Russell's inadvertent smile and quickly changed his words: "Let me think about what you said when you met last time... When this country needs me, I also have to come and protect this country or something?"
"Yes, you did it! Not only this country, but also the whole world! I have already said that you used to be proud of the disciples of Oruzero Berencaster, but now Teacher Oruzero will definitely be proud to be your teacher, right?"
"...The one who protects the country and saves the world is Mr. Oroucherro. My abilities are far from comparable to him! In fact, the deeper I study in the field of Austria, the more I can feel his strength. When I am now standing on the side of the truth, I even found that I have just crossed the starting line for pursuing the truth of Austria. If I had just started, he would have reached the end, right?"
If it weren't for this incident, what kind of height would Orusero reach in the end? This is a question that Lu Xi has been thinking about during this period. The more he thinks, the more he wants to cry, or a strong impulse to destroy something. This is venting, this is venting anger, Lu Xi of course knows. Teacher Orusero is already ninety years old, and Lu Xi of course knows. However, such an invincible old man, such an old man who can still fascinate the little girl at the age of ninety, and such an old man who can still be fascinated by the little girl at the age of ninety, and such an old man who wins life, if one day he really breaks the constraints of life and time on humans, and from then on, as a inferior black iron people, humans can live with the world, then Lu Xi is not surprised at all... In fact, he has already made the mental preparations of his son as old as he is, when his son is still as energetic as he is now.
"If it weren't for my teacher, if I were a true pursuer of the Uncharacter's Way, I might also think that he was so dazzling that it was jealous, right?"
"Aren't I the same? He was one of the greatest sages since the development of the new arcane realm after the Second Creation, and of course he was the greatest magician since the founding of the Federation, and no one. In front of him, all the so-called geniuses who were talented and highly anticipated by young men... are just foolish mortals. You know, I am also a mortal. Sometimes I can't help but have jealousy and comparative ideas, but more often I admire you like a mountain. As if I saw the sun, no matter what, I can only raise my head, even if I was jealous, but I also trust, worship, and even rely on it. In fact, in the minds of us spellcasters,
In a sense, the reason why the Federation is an eternal country of the sky is not because it is eternal, but because he has Oruseretro and Berencaster, so it is truly eternal, right?" He said this, and showed a hint of smile: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the old boy Turner, his father who has been hiding for more than ten years and has not gone out, the Supreme Head of our former former, although he was played with a sandbag in the past, and now he will be incontinent when he mentions Oruseretro's name, but in his heart, aren't he admired him? I don't know what kind of style the Great Sage of Laxes a thousand years ago, but I know what greatness the Sky Master is!"
"But, Lu Xi, if I have known people, who can surpass Oruserzero? Berencaster, then you will be the only one, Lu Xi Linge? Berencaster! You should be proud, or, in other words, only you can pat your chest with confidence and say, Teacher Oruserzero will be proud of me, and this will truly comfort his spirit in heaven!"
His smile was calm and relieved, and his appearance of having someone to succeed him made Lu Xi feel that his next step was to explain his funeral and prepare to entrust his orphan.
"...Okay, the comfort of being an ordinary elder ends here. After all, Mr. Orusello has left. No matter how sad it is, we must accept this fact. From now on, I will regard you as the heir of the colorful rose emblem, a head of the Aofa famous family who is truly independent." He looked straight into Lu Xi's eyes, slowly lowered his face, and his voice also had a hint of solemnity and coldness of doing business.
At this time, he was no longer the most trusted and respected Master Russell in the entire Federation except Orusero, but a derologist in the League of Knowledge, a great magician, the highest military commander of the federal government, and the vice chairman of the Supreme National Governance Committee. He looked at the young brigade general of the Federation and the youngest Samsung magician with the eyes of the superiors, and said in a deep voice: "You have crossed the gate of Tao! This is too shocking, but we really cannot confirm or falsify it 100%.
"Yes, I'm only twenty-one years old. If I were to be the title of Great Magician at this age, I would have slapped so many people in the face. A group of old fry with reserve generals and even marshals must salute me first. Although I am looking forward to that kind of scene, if it really happens, it will be quite embarrassing for many people."
"...The alliance does not explicitly stipulate that if you cross the gate of the road, you will definitely get the title of Great Magician. Yes, at least there is no such explicit regulation. It's just that when all Great Magicians get the title, they have already crossed this boundary." Russell seemed to think that his tone was a little lacking in the necessary persuasion, and hurriedly said: "No matter what, Great Magician means that the highest title within the alliance, which is regarded as the patron saint of the country, and will automatically have the rank of reserve or active marshal, as well as the status of a lifelong veteran, and are qualified to participate in any most confidential military and political meeting... If you directly give such privileges to a young man in his early twenties, it will be very controversial within the alliance."
"So?" The so-called controversy is very great, that is, the big figures who can make decisions have not reached a consensus. Whether to admit the fait accompli or completely suppress it in a broken face, it has not been recognized by either side. Since there is no consensus, it can only be exchanged. Since you want to exchange, you must come up with more practical things.
Lu Xi thought they should understand, and if they didn't understand, they had to use a more intense approach to let them understand.
