Chapter 62 Friends
Chador Street is located in the Eastern Cross of Elichard City, and is only a half-hour walk from Paradise Square in the city center. Logically speaking, the housing prices in such a prime location are not affordable by the allowances of the second generation of the country aristocrats and the new magicians in Lu Xi.
Of course, as the residence of the future "Godfather of Sex and Career", this house is actually a little shabby. On this day, Lu Xi's three entourages had already arrived here with their luggage.
Chardor Street, which belongs to the residential area of the East District, is not a bustling main road, but it is enough to accommodate six or seven four-wheeled carriages to drive side by side. Both sides of the road are lined with luxurious contiguous villa buildings, and they look well-dressed and hypocritical "top people".
Except for Primra who still maintained a expressionless face and Gujing Wubo's mental outlook, the two unlucky children from the countryside, looking at the neat streets, gorgeously decorated houses, and gentlemen and ladies coming and going, had already lost their momentum.
"No. 118, it's here." Primula said, pointing to a small building.
It was a small two-story villa with a beautiful garden of more than ten square meters outside. The shape of the whole house is a very traditional Natia-style flat-roofed house, but the appearance is painted with a very anti-traditional sky blue. On the other hand, the upper end of the door lintel is also decorated with a lifelike butterfly herald, showing a bit elegance and magnificence. The lower end of the herald is engraved with the words "Butterfly Garden".
"How did the young master buy such a small building?" Looking at the exquisite villa, Grant couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Miss Lim, do you know?"
Although Grant is a country kid who has never seen the world, he is a good kid who loves to learn. The housing prices in the capital are the objects of complaints from major media every day, so he naturally heard about it. The price of such an elegant and comfortable small villa must be a miserable young man like himself who will feel that he will be pulled into a terrifying dimension astronomical figure.
Even a country kid like Grant knows that it would be unscientific to buy such a house with Lu Xi's little magician allowance!
"Strange stuff..."
"ha?"
"It seems like I've made money by selling a lot of strange things in partnership with someone else."
This may be the longest thing Primra has ever said in her life, but Grant still didn't understand it.
In Grant's entanglement, the carriage was parked in front of the Butterfly Garden. An old man in a black deacon suit opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Is it Lord Luxi Berenkast? I am the administrator and deacon of this house." The old deacon introduced himself in a very elegant posture and a calm and friendly tone.
"Lord Lu Xi hasn't arrived yet. We are his entourage." Seeing that Primra did not respond without saying a word, Grant quickly took over the topic.
"Oh," the old deacon glanced at Primula and nodded, "You should be Miss Primula. This is the key to the Butterfly Garden, please keep it."
The girl put away the key without saying a word.
Boole and Grant quickly unloaded the luggage from the carriage, and under the command of the old deacon, they moved the luggage into the house, began to clean and organize the room again, and everyone suddenly became busy.
It slowly reached dusk. Just as the house was about to be sorted out, Lu Xi, who had returned from the Field Hall, also appeared outside the Butterfly Garden.
"You must be Lord Luxi Berenkaster. I am Deacon Delavo of Butterfly Garden, and I am honored to serve you."
"Oh, it's you? That kid Carol is so generous. He actually transferred a talent as outstanding as you to me. This is a surprise!" Lu Xi held the old deacon's hand, and the overjoyed element in his tone did not seem to be polite.
As an excellent housekeeper, Mr. Delavo had just signed a ten-year contract with Carol last year. When Carol transferred the house at a low price, he also included a contract from the property administrator and deacon, Mr. Delavo. In this way, if nothing unexpected happens, the old deacon would have to serve Lu Xi for at least nine years.
Originally, Lu Xi thought that Mr. Dravo must be a lazy and troubled guy who was dependent on his seniority, so he was driven away by Carol in every way. However, when he saw it, he was immediately impressed by the other party's graceful and calm demeanor. Even the court chief of the royal families of various countries in the mainland was probably just like this.
"Good evening, Lu Xi. Long time no see." After everyone had supper, the former owner of Butterfly Garden also appeared. Carol was wearing a navy blue officer uniform, with a red plum blossom eaves hanging on his shoulders, representing the rank of the lieutenant. His entourage and girlfriend, Drow's elf girl, Iroviel, was in a blue female officer uniform, with the rank of the lieutenant, and a standard officer's sword hanging around his waist.
"Everyone comes in and sit."
Sitting in the newly tidied living room, Delavo brought black tea and small biscuits at the right time, which made Lu Xi sigh again about the other person's generosity and decentness.
"It looks pretty good. I originally thought that with your unruly nature, it would be good to stay in the army for a few days. It seems that your life is still good."
"I am a dignified Lord Carol. I either don't do it. If I want to do it, I must do my best. Since I decided to stay in the army, even a short-term military academy would have to do better than the so-called military talents. The only thing that is unhappy is the tuition fee, because I don't have a recommendation letter from the army, I actually have to pay for it myself. Were and I have spent a lot of money."
"It doesn't make sense to cry with me that you are poor. I'm not the manager of the military academy. You can completely treat this as a business investment. It's easier for people who come out of the military academy to be promoted. At that time, you can get into the logistics department and become a supervisor, and you can just embezzle public funds. A business with such a high return on investment, even if your father and brother have worked hard in the mall for so long, I probably haven't seen it before?"
"Well, what you said is..."
"Yes, right?"
"Ah hahahaha, oh..." The pair of good friends with no limits of moral integrity made a bad laugh together, and also made a painful sound. Behind them, the mouthless girl Primra and the drow girl Iroviel were putting their hand knife at the same time.
"This is your dividend." As he said this, Carol took out a book from his arms, "I used your name to open an account at St. Mourinho Bank, and I have deposited 10,000 gold mira in it. Just take your ID and the mage badge and you can exchange cash at any bank."
"Oh, then I'll be disrespectful." Lu Xi took the certificate of deposit.
Carol's family business naturally could not hide Lu Xi's interest and the expansion of production scale of his production, and he did not object. As for how to convince those conservative medieval people to accept this kind of private goods in the boudoir, Carol's father and brother were excellent merchants anyway, so they naturally had their own way. He invested in his own technical patents and did not have to work hard to manage his knife, just wait for the dividends.
"By the way, you wrote: Are you ready to work in the government department of the capital? How about it, what position is it?"
"Well... it's the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs? That's great, you're eating, drinking and traveling with public funds, uh... Then aren't you going to be a colleague with that top-notch puppet girl?"
"That's what it means."
"Oh, it's good that you two can take care of. So, which department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"
"Assistant Counsel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Embassy in Auckland."
"Oh, I was sent out so soon? But that's fine. Auckland is the most powerful empire on the mainland and the most important diplomatic state in the federal government. It's usually nothing big to stay there, and it's quite easy to cheat merits and get promoted. However, the position of a counselor military officer should be very high, right? Wait, since you are a military officer, have you joined the army?"
"I'm not a talent, I just got the rank of captain," Lu Xi shrugged, "Lieutenant, I'll salute the lieutenant!"
"Stop kidding. This is not funny at all, really." Carol smiled dryly, but found that the other party had no response. "It's not true, right? Even the top graduates of Dugu Fort Military Academy only have the rank of captain. You, you... this is unscientific!"
"So, the wisdom of mortals..." Lu Xi pushed the glasses that still did not exist. "I have seen several 20-year-old marshals. Is the 18-year-old captain so rare?"
After Carol muttered the "unscientific" farewell, Lu Xi sighed heavily. He took out an envelope from his arms, and the sealed mud pressed a small dagger emblem.
Actually, there is no need to read it, Lu Xi also knows what is written in this letter. Just now, Makanov had already told him everything in detail in the Field Hall.
Senior military officers at the Federal Embassy in Auckland were found to be suspected of selling confidential information. Lu Xi, a new secret censor, also obtained his first task. He will go to Auckland in the name of an official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the suspicion of the senior military officer is found to be true, he can immediately execute the death penalty.
This can explain why my invitation letter was signed by the Privy Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This task was clearly the result of the joint action of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
To be honest, Lu Xi had no good feelings for this inexplicable new job: a dark and deep base, a sneaky boss, and these anti-system commands and positions. Listening to Makanov's introduction, Lu Xi knew that this so-called Field Office had long exceeded the control of the law and the state system, and was completely in the hands of the highest power of the country. He could kill people without judgment and conclusion. What is the difference between this and the factory guards who caused disaster to the world for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty?
Fortunately, the launch of this "Embroidered Uniform Guard" system was not a dictator, but a ruling committee jointly with multiple people. Now, the members of the committee actually dislike each other, and finally there was a check and balance of rights. However, because the hostile relationship between powers was probably not as strong as the Sandpit Castle on the beach. If one side completely failed, this field office might become the most terrifying weapon of dictators and ambitious people.
Thinking of this, Lu Xi suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the Field Hall. The intimate relationship between Alantis and Makanov, as well as the admiration and admiration for Master Russel that Makanov showed in his words and words...
Haha, I probably thought too much.
Lu Xi smiled a little reluctantly. He raised his head and saw Primra's worried eyes.
It seems that my face is really not very good now. While Lu Xi thought so, he tried his best to calm down his mood.
"What's wrong? Lim?"
"Sehiliu is here."
Have they agreed? As soon as Carol left, Sexilu arrived. It was just like a front foot touching the back foot.
"Oh, Sehiliu, it's been a long time since we met." Lu Xi sat on the sofa, greeted the girl who walked into the living room, and then ordered, "Mr. Delavo, please come and make some refreshments for us."
After the old deacon left, Sexiliu sat in front of Lu Xi. She was in a very bad mood and was covered with a layer of frost on her face. However, such an intellectual beauty showed an angry expression, actually had a strange beauty.
"Tell me, what's going on with this order book?" Sexiliu took out a piece of coated paper from her arms and slapped it heavily on the crystal coffee table in front of her.
“Ms. Sehiliu Moore:
Given your outstanding performance in the Secretariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you will be formally sent to the Auckland Embassy to serve as Chief Secretary for Counselor Luxi Berenkast, hoping to remain outstanding in your new job.
Natia Federal Central Government Office of Personnel
July 4, 532, Federal Calendar”
TNN, what do those guys want to do?
Lu Xi secretly complained to his current bosses. He looked at Sexiliu who was waiting for the answer, thought for a while, and replied, "Well, even if you want to ask me what's going on... But I can only answer you: This is what it means literally."
"Well... Although I was transferred abroad to work for formal foreign affairs, I was very happy. But why did I suddenly become your subordinate? I obviously have a job qualification that is older than you. Also, what's wrong with this counselor and military officer? I haven't heard of anyone who can hold such a high position just after he joined the job."
"Then haven't you heard about it now?"
"Stop making such boring jokes!" Sexiliu glared at Lu Xi fiercely, "Tell me honestly, what's going on?"
"Well, calm down, my little girl... Okay, don't take out the staff, I won't call you that. Look, as soon as that Silkratou got the magician qualification certificate, his father got the National Engineering Department and became the director of the Transportation Bureau. That's the director! In comparison, I just got a captain and an assistant counselor military officer, and it's not a fat man. What's incomprehensible about this?"
"Lu, Xibe, Lun, Kass, T!"
"Okay okay, so I said to be calm. Well, although we are comrades who share hardships together, we shouldn't have anything to hide from you. But I really can't say this question." Lu Xi looked straight into Sexiliu's eyes and said solemnly, "At least, we can't say it before we take office."
Perhaps Lu Xi's appearance of sitting upright was too deceptive. Sexiliu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but slowly recover from her calmness. She pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Is it a serious matter?"
"Well, it's so serious that once the secret leaks, you will definitely be checked."
"I'm talking nonsense again..." Sexilu widened his eyes in dissatisfaction, but he didn't care too much: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you want to... Well, there is one thing I hope you remember: after entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I hope you must work hard. As your assistant, I will supervise you at all times. Please be aware of it!";
