Orphans in Jordan are not a rare thing. After all, the weird disaster destroyed countless families, and Jordan was also the place where the weird disaster was the worst. This is not surprising.
But the strange thing is that Christine is an orphan.
"This matter is no longer a secret."
Turning the ring on her index finger, Ista looked at the window, "Christine had no parents since he was a child. He lived as a guide and coolie in the liquor dock. Later, because of an accident, he met General Truong. Del, the general saw that he was smart and recruited him under his command, and he became an ordinary soldier."
Taking out the pipe and putting it in his mouth, Ishtar snapped his fingers and lit the pipe. "Christine is a very talented person. After obtaining the profession of Templar, it only took him five years to become a Templar." A demigod-level mission. At the same time, he also has a very charismatic personality. In just ten years, he jumped several levels and became the commander of the Jordanian City Defense Force."
"During the subsequent Weird disaster, Christine was the fastest general in the Jordanian army to react to the Weird invasion. It was also because of him that Jordan did not completely fall into the hands of the Weird. In the subsequent wars, Christine organized manpower many times During the counterattack, what no one expected was that this kid actually achieved results. In the three counterattacks, he took the lead and killed the Plague Knight with an unknown professional, curbing the grotesque disaster."
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Christine paused, and then continued: "Because his contribution is so great, the Yingnan government cannot sit idly by. But the rejection of the nobles gives the government a headache, because Christine is a Half-blood, they think it is an unwise choice to let a half-blood lead the army, and this half-blood does not have any glorious blood."
With a slight sarcastic smile on her lips, Christine took a deep breath of the aroma of tobacco, and then slowly exhaled, "At this time, Trundle came forward to adopt him as his adopted son, and this blocked the group of nobles. But Trundle is not a good person. He used some means to transfer half of Christine's military exploits to his son. Otherwise, why do you think his son's incompetent son became a general, but Christine Just a legion commander and a nominal major general?"
"I really don't know this."
After reluctantly processing the two documents, Ackerman, who was listening to the gossip while working, put down the paper in his hand, and then asked with slight interest: "Then Christine has no complaints?"
"Can you let me go without any complaints?"
Because of the good relationship, Ishtar didn't have any airs about Ackerman. He glanced at the documents in front of him, and then continued: "But what if there are complaints? That's Trundle, and even the emperor has to be polite. He In the end, he honestly handed over his military exploits and took over the Jordanian army and the Templars, as well as the rank of major general."
"That's right, Trundle's adopted son. How many nobles would be willing to sacrifice their lives for this title."
He picked up a document and read it with a smile on his face. What Ackerman didn't see was that after hearing his words, a somewhat complicated expression suddenly appeared on Ishtar's face.
"Actually, that's what I thought at first."
Suddenly, Ishtar spoke up and said with some hesitation: "However, one time when I came to his office to prepare to hand over armaments to him, I overheard a conversation between him and his subordinate. I didn't quite hear the specific content, but he seemed to I am very dissatisfied with my status.”
"It's normal for soldiers to be bloody."
Looking at the document in his hand, Ackerman said without raising his head: "But after all these years, this young general's position is already dead. There is no need to resist anymore. After all, he is also a mature politician."
"I hope so."
*************************
"The Yingnan nobles are really a bunch of pure beasts... hiccup..."
After downing two cans of high-alcohol wine, Christine, who had been shirtless for a long time, banged the table, with a face full of indignation, "Let me tell you about Zhou Li, damn you asked me to join your gang, you told me earlier that you were going to give these idiots After the first lesson, I joined the gang directly."
"Who knew you had such big opinions against nobles?"
Zhou Li, who had three cans of high-strength wine evaporated by the black mist, waved his hand and said, "At that time, they said that you had a good relationship with the nobles and that you were very capable of getting both sides. They didn't want to follow me. I didn't expect you to look down on me so much." They."
"A bunch of idiots, mentally handicapped, with broken families. I should look down on them."
At first, Christian didn't want to drink at all. After so many years of being in politics, he had long been accustomed to guarding against mouth problems. But the tragic situation of the nobles for so many days, and the double joy of meeting his old friend Gerost made him relax his guard, and drank a glass of champagne.
But no one expected that this guy had such a bad drinking ability. Her face turned red as soon as she drank a glass of champagne. Then, like the ruffians in the military camp, Christine started drinking with Geralost, completely lacking the general demeanor before.
After both of them drank a lot of high-alcohol wine and both started to show signs of redness, Christine, who was wandering around, grabbed Zhou Li out of the crowd of women and forced him to drink some with her. But Kristine didn't expect that Zhou Li, a bad guy, was happy to accompany the drink on the surface, but secretly used black mist to evaporate all the alcohol without leaving a drop, and finally gave him the illusion of "a thousand cups can't be poured".
"Tell me, back then, I and Gerost, we were like gods from your mother descending to earth, beating up those weird group of rats. We beat the plague... hiccup... the plague knight was like beating a dog, what use are those nobles? It’s useless!”
After years of hypocrisy and subterfuge, Christine had accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart, but was unable to vent it. He has no family around him, and Roja, whom he trusts the most, is not suitable to tell him this. Now that she finally had a chance to talk, Christine kept talking as if she had been opened up to talk.
"In the first counterattack battle, I led 120 people and defeated more than a dozen grotesquely guarded military-industrial groups. In the end, only 6 of the 120 people were still breathing. Half of my shoulders were slumped. The right leg was almost completely torn.”
Patting the hideous scar on her right shoulder, Christine's veins popped up in her neck, and she was furious, "Last statistics. That fucking idiot who did nothing from beginning to end and deducted half of my medical supplies. He became the commander of the battle, and he deducted half of the pensions of more than a hundred of my brothers. If Trundle hadn't come forward, I wouldn't be able to explain to my family even if I was selling everything."
"Which justice's son are you talking about?"
A middle-aged man with a big belly and always squinting appeared in Zhou Li's mind. Christine nodded, her tone full of resentment: "That man's name is Tucker, the only son of the Supreme Court Justice. This guy is in charge of medical and sanitation, but when the plague broke out, his department was useless. The most annoying thing is that , this person was not held accountable at all, but someone from another department took the blame, and was labeled as being incompetent in fighting the epidemic and was sent directly to the hospital."
"More than these."
At this time, Geralost, who was leisurely sipping his wine, put down the bottle and wiped his mouth, "When I visited Roja last time, I found two traffickers hiding in a tavern, preparing to attack a The little girl took action. Because we were anxious to investigate important matters, Luo Ya and I knocked these two people unconscious and quickly interrogated them."
"According to these two people, they belong to a black-hand organization. They started clamoring, saying that if we dared to touch them, Marquis Tucker would not let us go."
"The results of it?"
Facing Zhou Li's inquiry, Gerost smiled coldly and said, "He was crippled and thrown into the sewer."
"Fuck, I'm just saying that he spends all day and night giving away money wherever he comes from."
Kristen slapped the table, her face full of sullenness, "I'll investigate this matter, damn it, anyway, now I'm at odds with these beasts, and they want to harm the city I protect, so I've given them face."
"Don't worry, you can't even run away."
Zhou Li was not too excited. The man named Tucker had long been on his black list, and his execution was only a matter of time. "You don't have to antagonize them now. I have handed over the power of the consul. I It won’t take long before they contact you.”
Tan Maki
"Okay, I'll watch when the time comes."
Kristine was not carried away by anger and was ready to attack the group of nobles. On the contrary, he was extremely calm at this time, because he knew that Zhou Li was playing a big game.
"By the way, why do you want to hand over your identity as consul?"
Geralost on the side shook the wine bottle in his hand, threw it into the trash can and asked Zhou Li: "I was so scared that you suddenly handed over your rights. I thought you were going to run away."
At this point, Geralost smacked his lips and said with some emotion, "Don't tell me, the identity of the Grand Consul is really useful. That day when Roja and I were investigating vampires, we showed our badges, and everything went smoothly. No hindrance.”
"It doesn't actually matter whether I give up the position of consul or not."
Facing Gerost's doubts, Zhou Li smiled and replied: "The policies and laws I left behind have formed their own system. I have investigated Istar, and he is one of the few normal people among those beasts. He will not become hysterical and directly give up on himself, nor will he completely surrender and wait to die, so he will definitely not interfere with the policies and laws I left behind. At this time, it no longer matters whether I am in that seat or not."
"Then there's no need for you to resign directly."
"No, it's necessary,
Shaking his head, Zhou Li said solemnly: "Don't forget, the Gospels haven't been solved yet."
“What does your resignation have to do with the Gospels?”
Christine opened a new bottle of wine, and then asked doubtfully: "If you are still in your position and can have more convenience against the Gospel, why would you resign?"
"Yes, if Mr. Zhou Li is still the chief consul, we can mobilize a lot of resources to fight against the Gospels."
Roja on the side nodded and agreed.
"Didn't you notice something?"
Stretching out his hand and shaking it, Zhou Li said to the three people who were a little confused: "I seem to have gradually become a hero in Jordan."
"hero."
The three of them were startled, and Gerost quickly reacted. He frowned and said thoughtfully: "If you say so...it does feel that way."
"So far, I have been moving closer to becoming a Jordanian hero."
Spreading his hands, the Grand Consul's medal appeared in his hands. Zhou Li looked at the three people and said: "From the moment I stepped into Yingnan, I kept saving the city like a brave man. At the same time, I was more like the protagonist of a book, playing the game step by step. Strange decryption, keep upgrading.”
"At the beginning, I only encountered werewolves with no brute strength. Secondly, there was the succubus, a being who defeated the enemy with his spirit. Then, I defeated the skeleton giant monster. Spider monsters and suture monsters also appeared, too. They all fell. In the end, I defeated the Plague Knight. Do you see anything from this series of experiences?"
After listening to Zhou Li explain all the things that happened in Zhou Li, the three of them fell silent. After a while, Roja raised his head and said slowly:
"dramatic."
"Yeah, dramatic."
Giving Roja a thumbs up with appreciation, Zhou Li continued: "Every battle I have is full of drama. These dramatic battles are stacked together, gradually making me the most dazzling existence in Yingnan, and at the same time Made me a hero to Jordanians."
"Isn't that bad? Be a hero?"
Facing the puzzled Luo Ya, Zhou Li smiled and shook his head, and said with some emotion: "I don't care about the title of hero, I only care about what the hero can bring me. Now it seems that the Gospels have been guiding me That’s not a good sign to be a hero.”
"You don't continue to be this consul just because you don't want to become a hero?"
After reacting, Geralost put down the wine bottle in his hand and asked with some surprise: "What if you guessed wrong?"
"It's just a mistake. Otherwise, what else can I do? Find a place to tighten the screws?"
After making a joke, Zhou Li sat on a chair. He looked at the gray sky. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Actually, I was also guessing."
"If my guess is correct, the plague test I set up for all employees will be carried out in two days. At that time, the Gospel will definitely have his actions."
"I don't know what the Gospel is trying to do, but my perception tells me that what it wants to do is definitely something we don't want to see."
*******************************
"By the way, Lord Ishtar, I have a doubt."
After finishing processing the official document, Ackerman raised his head, woke up the half-asleep Ista, and asked: "I just looked at the statistics table, and the speed of the plague in Jordan at the beginning was not as terrifying as I expected. The Yingnan government definitely has time to make arrangements in advance before opening the Grand Formation Realm, but why..."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Ista suddenly became energetic. He quickly stood up and took the document. After seeing some statistics on the document, Ista's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
"wrong!"
Ishtar seemed to have discovered something. He quickly returned to his desk and looked for a document. After a while, he found what he was looking for. He unfolded a piece of paper similar to a telegram record and began to read it line by line. When he saw a line of data that read "Emergency deployment: No. 002", Ishtar's eyes widened.
"002 is not a signal from the Yingnan government... The emergency opening of the Grand Junction was not decided by the Yingnan side."
After a long time, Ista put down the document, her voice a little dry.
"The one who opened the Great Formation Realm is Christine."
