Chapter 171: The Violet Family
Since the carriage had been driven away by the girls, Carol and Lu Xi could only walk there, but they could just talk while walking.
"In another month or two, your short-term class will be graduated, right?"
"To be precise, it's eight weeks. Tsk, thinking about it this way is really a time that can't be looked back on! It takes five years for others to do my homework, and I have to complete all training and courses from morning to night within one year. The rest time can only be used to get through homework. Because of this, Weier almost turned against me."
"It must be that you have spent all your time on handing over public food. Weir thought you were going out and messing around. Hey, who made you so much dark history?"
"How can I have any dark history? This is clearly her own racial problem. Don't you know that the Drow Elves have always been a particularly suspicious race?"
"I'm not cheap and behave well. I'll treat this as a show of happiness and destroy you." Lu Xi glared at the other party with his eyes staring at the enemy of the class, "Satisfied you. Others can only have a diploma for five years, but you can only take one year. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Don't you hate school the most?"
"Uh, even though that's what I said..."
"Since you're about to graduate, there should be other statements about your future arrangements?"
"It depends on the final grades to decide, right? But it can be confirmed that the best positions must be expected for regular five-year military academy students. Our short-term classes have always been something that grandma does not love uncles and does not love. Do you know? In the federal officer system, there is a difference between so-called professional groups and non-professional groups."
...Is it really a saying that is full of visual sense. Is it my illusion?
Carol didn't care about Lu Xina's confusion and continued: "The so-called professional group refers to top students who graduated from Natia Sky Military Academy. The top ten people have the rank of captains, and the most time they will be lieutenants. The average age for these people to graduate is twenty-five, and most of them will become school officials before they are thirty-years-old."
"The so-called non-professional group refers to senior soldiers who have never been to military academy, start from grassroots soldiers, endure hard step by step, and can only be promoted to a higher level if they have an average of half a liter of blood." Lu Xi added.
Is Captain Grima like this?
"Hey, so you know?"
"I don't know, but this is not difficult to guess. Then are graduates from short-term classes like you the so-called candidate career group?"
"Look, don't you know everything?"
There is really...
"You are a magician, and you have first-level military merits in the trial period, so you can't be considered an ordinary person. The above painful divisions will not affect you at all, right?"
"That's what I said." Carol disturbed his scalp: "I have indeed received a letter, and it is also a staff position in the Central Imperial Guard Command. You know, there are good things and not many things to treat in this kind of place. And I face the big figures of the Federation every day, and there are more opportunities for promotion. They have always been specially prepared for those top students. Hehe, I didn't expect that my dignified Young Master Carol would one day enjoy the treatment of top students..."
"So, you still refused?"
“…How did you know I refused?”
"That kind of place is not so much a military field, but rather a government official who serves tea and water to his boss every day. With your personality, you will go crazy sooner or later. Besides, you are not short of money and have no power. You shouldn't run over and lick your leader's ass when you get angry, right?"
"Hehe, you still know me. Actually, I also received a letter from the Eastern Legion. The Legion has been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Black Flag Wingers for a while and has been expanded. The soldiers are fine, but the officers are not enough. If I go, I can immediately become the commander of the three hundred men... Haha, the 300 people must stand honestly and listen to my lectures. As long as I think of that scene, I feel that the suffering I suffered before is worth it."
...A Captain Zhazha, whose combat power has just reached 50, is probably only promising.
"When you really fight and go to the front line, you may regret it." Looking at the proud face, Lu Xi still couldn't help but sarcastically.
"Don't worry, isn't it just a bunch of bones? It's not that I haven't fought with them, and that's not a big victory? Without the protection of the Dark Sky, maybe even the old zombie Kazan had its bones removed."
Well, it's really optimistic romanticism! But as far as I know, all those who have romantic sentiments die miserably. I hope this guy is just an isolated case, not a common idea of the whole federal army.
The two of them walked and chatted like this. After more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the commercial area. Lu Xi also learned from each other that a lot of things happened in the federal government recently.
Just as Lu Xi had expected, even Carol, a rich military academy student, knew about the alliance between the undead and the orcs, not to mention ordinary people. Although they knew that the Federation was expanding its army, most people thought it was just a normal military expansion, but no one thought it was about the perspective of a full-scale war.
The world overlord of Auckland, even when the Sun King was in poor health and in poor spirits in recent years, often sent troops to cross the sea to expedition the continent of Sosness. Almost all countries that were impolite to the Holy Spring Empire on the northern coast of the southern continent have been ravaged by it, which has also cultivated a large number of generals who have a large number of accustomed to the war.
Growing on the plateau, the descendants of Nord have been strong since ancient times, and the situation of being attacked from all sides seems to be full of dangers, but in fact it also means that they have accumulated rich experience in war. Once they are given some chance, the muscled men who have grown up in the glacier will definitely set off a storm of conqueror like a storm, right?
In comparison, only the country built in the sky, the Federation, which is almost impossible to feel the pressure from foreign enemies, and there is no need to assume the so-called "major power obligations" in this medieval world. Although the low-intensity conflict and battle between the Black Flag-Wingers in the Namoan Mountains and the Henas Dead Spirits have never stopped, most of the citizens of the Federation have enjoyed peace for many years. Peace is so peaceful that even if the shortage of supplies and prices soar, ordinary people seem to lack the necessary sense of urgency.
Of course, perhaps it is precisely because of this that this country gives the powerful the opportunity to play the Game of Thrones under the banner of democracy and republic.
"The federal prices have risen sharply during this period, and food in the capital is also in short supply. There will be no problem with your life with Viagra, right?"
"The prices are indeed rising sharply, but most of the time we eat free canteens in schools. Although they don't taste very good, at least they won't be hungry because they can't buy food." Carol complained with a bitter face: "But the prices during this period are indeed too outrageous. Thanks to his blessing, our business is not as good as before."
Indeed, even ordinary necessities are in crisis. Who is in a mood to buy condoms and sex toys?
"That is why we must open up new markets! Holding a single acre of three-point land in the Federation is a word of death. Of course, if we develop a strange market ourselves, we will get half the result with twice the effort. We must choose and support a reliable agent."
"Well, I really don't understand the business matters. Mr. Mu also looked strange. But since it was brought by you, I think my dad and brother will definitely look at him first."
"Don't worry, the character of that black-hearted beast is definitely a problem, but the strength and ability of him and the boss behind him are absolutely no problem. Maybe by next year, our monthly dividend will be 20% or 30%."
"There are so many?" Carol's eyes lit up. He just doesn't like business, but at least he can count the money clearly. "Didn't he come to talk about Neosfia's agency business? I know that city is quite prosperous. A city with a population of more than 5 million is indeed quite exaggerated to think about..."
Indeed, it was very unscientific to have a city with a population of more than 5 million in the Middle Ages, but so what? In my previous life, I spent even a city with a population of 20 million.
"But no matter what, it's just a city. Can there be such a big market?"
"A small island with a population of only five million, but the annual throughput of shipping cargo accounts for almost half of the world. How much wealth do you think is there? Wealth is not the gold coins and jewelry beds that the dragon puts in the cave... Well, forget it, economics is too high-end for you. In short, you just need to know that our business is getting bigger and bigger."
"Hehe, I didn't dare to be interested in the knowledge of making money."
"Who told you that economics is just a knowledge of making money? Tsk, it's the wisdom of a mortal." Lu Xi pushed his glasses with disdain and pushed them with no existence at all, and then looked at the road with bright lights and wine in front of him. He had been brought to a relatively high-end luxury commercial area by Carol. The consumption required by each store was astronomical figures that could make ordinary silk fairy yu die. Because of this, he never saw the huge queue at the door of the store. The decoration was flowing everywhere, and the magnificent store still flashed with the rich and handsome aura that made the silk people retreat, just like a symbol that was transformed with luxury. As long as people with souls still could not find any sense of reality in it.
The bustling window in the window refers to this place, right?
"Are we going to have a meal here?" Lu Xi asked with a sigh.
"There is no way. Other restaurants now have quotas, so it's hard to get a list. At least we don't have to worry about losing one here." Carol spread his hands and shrugged, "Besides, you finally came back once and found me such a big way to make money. You should have a good meal, right?"
"Receive your affection." Lu Xi finally squeezed a difficult smile on his face.
In fact, eating is not only for the sake of delicious food, but more importantly, it is more important to have a good mood? But in such a place where even a sip of coffee is necessary to pay attention to the order, sitting around is full of well-dressed and noble people. What kind of good mood can they have?
However, seeing Carol's enthusiasm, Lu Xi really couldn't object.
"We're here." Carol pointed to a three-story restaurant with elegantly decorated foyer.
Lu Xi had not paid attention to the restaurant yet, but was attracted by the heraldry of the carriage door parked at the door. It was a family emblem decorated with violet flowers as the main body and elegant vine lines. Six star symbols were embellished above the heraldry, indicating that the family had produced six great magicians in history.
