Although the Railway Gendarmerie is one of the departments that has the closest contact with Rean, as the base camp of the headquarters, Rean has never been there once.
Mainly because the Railway Gendarmerie has too many strongholds. There are strongholds at every major train station in the empire. If you want to find someone, just go to the station directly. Even Claire, who has the best relationship with Rean in the team, basically works at the station.
The so-called headquarters is mainly responsible for logistics support and recruit training.
After all, in an important transportation location like a train station, land is at a premium, and even state violence agencies cannot go too far.
Of course, special meetings are also indispensable. For example, the exchange of information this time has a high level of confidentiality and is not suitable for the central station where there are many people and cluttered eyes.
Compared with branches that are either located in a corner or have only one corner, the headquarters does occupy a much larger area.
A large piece of land was specially set aside near the intersection of the railway network at the junction of the empire's urban and suburban areas, which houses a variety of high-tech command centers, equipment warehouses, neat barracks, vast shooting ranges, and off-road fields. Except for the heavy weapons that are not suitable for quick response, the supporting facilities of the headquarters are comparable to that of a fortress. It is worthy of being the ace force known as the "government's own daughter".
Just one word - style!
Because Claire drove the special car herself, Rean and his party were not questioned too much. They just registered as usual and drove straight to the central conference center.
The style of the center adheres to the consistent steel style of the gendarmerie, which is cold and hard yet simple, simple but not simple.
In front of two exclusive guidance terminals, the intelligence bureau's commissioners were busy recording and analyzing. As the representative, Lecter was good at dancing and graceful in all directions.
Representatives of the Imperial Guard, Gendarmerie, and the First and Second Divisions chatted here and there, like a butterfly in a flower, summarizing the information in a few words.
Seeing the trio of high school students, junior high school students, middle school students and senior students pushing in the door, they raised their hands to greet them familiarly: "We're finally here, it's just you guys."
"I'm sorry, but due to your sudden arrival, I'm a little later than scheduled."
"Well, it's that lord, and--"
Hearing Claire's explanation, Lecter was not surprised and his eyes naturally turned to Rean.
"——Our hero, the newly promoted Sword Master, is also present. You are the biggest focus of this Midsummer Festival, in every sense of the word. How do you feel?"
Double meaning? hint? Or is it just social rhetoric?
Li En thought in his heart, his face expressionless: "This statement is too exaggerated. I will do my part."
"It's still the same. I thought that after experiencing Lamar's incident, you would be more like a young man."
Lecter shrugged and then raised his eyebrows.
"However, you will appear here together, which means that the atmosphere is not bad. Isn't it possible that even that matter-"
which one?
Rean was slightly stunned, but Claire didn't give Rector a chance to continue speaking, directly blocking Rean's sight:
"We both have limited time, so get the information ready quickly."
"Yes, yes~" Rector raised his hands in a French military salute, "By the way, the amount of data this time is a bit large. We need to filter it quickly. You have to help."
"Then you still talk so much, hurry up."
Claire rolled her eyes at him angrily, and quickly accelerated her steps towards the guidance terminal. It was obviously not the first time for such collaboration.
Lecter was thick-skinned and didn't care. Just when Claire passed by, he suddenly said in a low voice: "Time is running out. Whatever you do must be done as soon as possible, even if it is..."
Claire paused and finally said nothing.
Lecter sighed upon seeing this.
The more you do this, the more painful it will be.
It's better to just do it. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain.
No matter over there or here, I won't blame you.
There has never been a cage on you, all you have is your own prison, unlike me...
The young man with a scarecrow-like hairstyle held his head in his hands, and narrowed the corners of his slender eyes. Through the dim light, he seemed to see a girl with long hair shawl lecturing with her hands on her hips, and a girl with short blue-purple hair smiling next to him, further away. The virgin girl with ponytail and her junior classmate waving with narrowed eyes.
It was one of the few bright colors in his memory, and it was also his lost youth.
After all, you can't go back to the past.
I really envy you.
Ryan Schwarzer.
Lecter didn't look back or open his eyes. He could still feel the joy behind him, laughing and scolding.
A young woman with short hair similar to an old friend tiptoed to the back, then hugged Towa and rested her chin on the latter's head:
"Hmm~ um~ Towa... As expected, my Towa is the best... My dry heart and energy have been replenished, and I am blessed..."
"It's very itchy, Xiao An, stop making trouble, we're at work now."
Tova twisted a few times symbolically, but unfortunately she was far from Angelica in terms of size and strength.
Li En laughed dryly, but his eyebrows moved quietly - the senior's "symptoms" seemed to be much more serious than before.
He can all pay attention to it, especially Tova, who is Angelica's number one best friend.
After being rubbed a few times, Towa tilted her head and asked:
"Have you been having a hard time lately? Is the new job at Karejas not going well?"
"It's going pretty smoothly, that is...the new captain, Mr. Thunder God...is simply an enhanced version of dad...Thanks to him, we are drilled miserably every day.
I finally found a chance to come out for some air. Wuwuwuwu, Towa is better. You are the best captain in my mind. It doesn’t matter who comes. "
"What you said is too exaggerated." Towa was a little embarrassed by the praise. "Also, pay attention to the occasion when you speak. There are so many people here. If the news reaches the ears of His Excellency 'Thunder God'——"
"Just pass it on. Captain Mattius and Dad are the same in this regard. They don't care about these gossips at all. If you have the ability, you can challenge him."
Having said this, Angelica couldn't help but start to grin. Seeing this scene, Rean and Tova looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
"Senior, you——"
"——I won't have challenged you before..."
It’s only been a few days and you’re challenging your immediate boss? When Alleria was taking control, no one dared to do this.
"It's not just me, it's His Highness Olibat. He took the opportunity of his guidance to organize me, Mulla and other masters to fight in a group. No, to challenge His Excellency Thor together."
"Then what--?"
Tova asked, but there was no need to ask, Rean had already guessed the result.
"Gorgeously defeated."
as expected.
"That uncle hit me really hard, harder than my dad. I was pretty good. His Highness and Mulla, one was slapped against the wall and the other was smashed into the floor. They were harder than my dad hit me."
If anyone else does this, even the "Swordsmith of Light" would be suspected of being disrespectful. The only exception is "Thunder God". He has always been with the emperor, often dealing with the royal family's children, and giving various teachings to the younger generation. . His younger brother, Lieutenant General Sykes, was Olibat's martial arts teacher and taught the latter this way since he was a child.
After being shot away, Olibat was not only lifeless, but also sighed: "Ah ~ it's still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste."
This move also dispelled many people's cautious thoughts. Even if Fandel was removed from the position of "Royal Guardian", it did not mean that they had lost their power.
All I can say is that it’s you, Olibat.
By the way, Rean finally knew how Alleria developed her habit of doing things when she didn't want to be obeyed - it was the words and deeds of Mattius.
But in Angelica's heart, these are not important: "In order to heal my injured body and mind, Tova, please stay with me these days."
"Ehehe... No, it's a special exercise now, and Rean is here -"
Tova said, looking at Rean in embarrassment, and the latter answered.
"Things on my side have also reached a critical stage. Without the help of Senior Sister Towa, there will be big problems."
"So, Xiao An, please be patient for a while longer." Tova turned around and patted Angelica on the head.
"I understand." The heroine, who was as heroic as a man, nodded, then pushed Towa away with one hand and clenched his fist with the other, "I completely understand, Rean, draw your sword, Towa is mine, absolutely not I’ll give it to you!”
