Chapter 70 "28"

"In that case, I will officially be your senior brother from now on!"

After watching me sign my name, Eiffel came over again with a happy smile on his face.

Then I lowered my head and looked at the documents on the desktop that had already signed my name, and suddenly that indescribable trance came to my mind.

This can be regarded as a rare decision for me, right?
Maybe I didn't even think of such a result. Human beings are always so entangled, thinking so much, but doing so little.

"It's different from other people who need to go through layers of assessments, junior brother, you are very lucky!"

This appearance of sincerely happy for me made me not know what to say or what to express for a while.

"Many people have paid a lot of money to be admitted to such a place."

"thanks."

This is the so-called fairness, as Eiffel said, many people have sharpened their heads in order to enter here, and me?

To put it bluntly, in fact, it is only because of my father, because of my famous father, that I enjoy the current series of conveniences.

"So, junior brother, you can be valued by other masters, and recommended to come here, it should be very powerful, right?"

It is not difficult to understand that Eiffel would ask such a question.

"There are various reasons for this, but fortunately, my homework is not bad."

Just think about it, if I were just a useless person, or an ordinary person with no connections, I might have been bombed to death in the empire's facilities, right?
"very nice……"

Or maybe I have nothing to do with this deep and arrogant space. Perhaps I am simply living an ordinary life in some colony now, right?

"that……"

Eiffel, who was standing restlessly next to me, had a fluctuating expression, and now he looked quite embarrassed, and he probably wanted to say something.

"what happened?"

"Can you call me brother?"

what?
Is this what you want to say?

I don't know what kind of strange request this is, but it's not unreasonable, right?
"Brother Eiffel."

Anyway, I should call him that often in the future, so why not just call him openly, it's nothing...wrong?
"Hey, Junior Brother, Junior Brother Lin Man!"

Right now, the atmosphere was quite anxious...

In this case, it is better to quickly change the subject.

"Hey, by the way, where is Mr. Pruss?"

I simply looked around and found that Pruss' figure had long since disappeared here, at least when Eiffel took the initiative to pat me on the shoulder just now, he was gone.

"Ah, for Mr. Prouss, I just went out with the transcript of the previous interview. I should submit it and I will come back soon."

"Oh well."

The current situation has settled down, and I have successfully joined here without any surprises. I have to fight for the future by myself.

"Where are you from, Junior Brother?"

Eiffel still seemed to be quite interested and curious about me.

"I don't know where I'm from, I've been away from my hometown since I can remember."

If I have to say it, I can't say it is a battleship belonging to the old federation, can I?
"Really, where did you live before?"

"empire."

"Empire!..."

Sure enough, this kind of thing can't be said so directly, can it?

"Then you...are you from the alliance?"

His question... well, he probably wanted to ask if my hometown is within the control of the alliance, right?

"Yes, because my father is a native of the alliance. Although I don't know which principality or region it is, it must have been under the control of the old federation before."

Judging from Eiffel's state, maybe they still have a lot of grievances about the question of "whether they are from the alliance", that is to say, I should properly emphasize that my origin is from the alliance, right?

"For what it's worth, my mother was also a native Union, no, Old Commonwealth."

While the old federation is fully contained within today's alliance, this emphasis would also give him more realism.

After all, we are more willing to believe in the so-called "details" than a general talk.

Just like you tell others that you have met such and such a great man, how about describing a specific scene: You saw so and so, but it was raining that day, and you wanted to take a closer look at him, but you were surrounded by people holding umbrellas It was squeezed out, but you had no choice but to leave.

In this way, there are details and descriptions so that others can be more convinced. The same is true for deceiving people.

"Were you captured as a slave in the empire?"

"I heard that the Empire is a place where slaves are oppressed and demihumans are traded."

Eiffel looked at me with a worried face. In fact, this appearance combined with this guy's informal physique made the picture quite funny.

"Well, it's not considered a slave, it's slightly better than them."

I spread my hands helplessly. After all, what he said is indeed true. Whether it is oppressing slaves or selling sub-humans, it is not easy for me to refute him.

"As a laborer, at least I have the most basic human rights. Although I am talking about the life of the lowest class people, at least I can still be regarded as a creature like a 'human' to live."

"At the very least, my safety can be guaranteed at the most basic level."

"Worker?"

"Then you must have had a hard time outside, right?"

nonsense……

Although I wanted to say this, but seeing Eiffel's expression, I swallowed these two words abruptly.

This guy... I'm afraid he might be a nice guy, right?

"Looking at your name, you should be from Tiir, right?"

"Well, my father is a Tyrian. He used to guard the border. Later, because of the failure of the invasion war, he was framed by others and exiled to the West."

On the border of Tire?

Sure enough, he should have the so-called noble blood.

Although he should have fallen, judging from his previous demeanor, he is indeed not just an ordinary person.

But I have to say, the excitement and joy he saw me before didn't seem like he could pretend...

Here we go again, and start guessing at others like this again.

Lin Man, oh Lin Man, you still need to make a proper change.

"Then how did you come up with the idea of ​​returning to the league?"

"I can't go on, because of various strange reasons."

I can't say that I took two people to escape the alliance's orbital bombing all the way by stealing the carrier-based aircraft, and took these two people to escape the death low-altitude bombing of the empire, and I also smuggled around in various senses, participating in slave trading, The sale of prohibited drugs was finally taken here by other teachers here from the hands of the customs, right?

By the way, I even gave needles on the spot in front of a group of imperial civil servants.

If you think about it this way, it is indeed quite legendary...

"And the alliance, after all, is my hometown, so I should come back in the end."

In the end, let's play the emotional card, maybe this can increase Eiffel's favor for me again.

"Well, did you escape from that kind of place?"

"No, I just think that if you are a worker, leaving your place of work should be considered a kind of escape, right?"

Seeing my puzzled eyes, Eiffel immediately made a supplementary explanation.

"It's not considered an escape, but it's true that I didn't come here alone."

"I still have two...three friends."

Let's count Gulu in it for the time being. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, I brought it after all. No matter what, you should be prepared to be responsible.

"Sure enough, I can't hold on to it alone, can I?"

Eiffel seemed to remember something unhappy, and after asking me this question, he slowly walked back to his seat and sat down again.

Maybe he also has his own story, everyone has some past, doesn't he?
"Well, he did give me a lot of encouragement."

Recalling the time when I couldn't hold on anymore, everyone was discriminating against me, mocking me, and treating me as an object of fun.

People are animals that like to base their happiness on the pain of others, so some people say: "The joys and sorrows between people don't make sense."

At that time, there was only Moral, who still regarded me as a friend...

"If it weren't for him, I might have chosen to give up on myself."

It is also very simple to say, there was almost no color in my life at that time, the disappearance of my father, the rejection of people around me... I was almost at the point where I had nowhere to go.

This is also the reason why I escaped with him no matter what at that time. If you love me and protect me, I will repay you.

That's it.

"What about your friends? Where are they?"

Mingming picked up the pen and calculation tools in his hand, but put them down again, and raised his head to look at me again.

"They are all very good. They should be working hard to come to me in other places now, right?"

So where are Nalia, Moral, and Gulu now?

Although Kalinin said that he has arranged for them all, and also said that he would help me bring Gulu, but why can't I feel at ease...

Haha, obviously I am not sure, but I can answer such a question openly.

"very nice……"

Then the atmosphere slowly fell into embarrassment. Brother Eiffel, who had been actively asking questions before, suddenly fell silent. Did I say something wrong?
Taking this opportunity to take a good look around the situation here, apart from the dense piles of reference books and scattered documents on the desks of the two of them, there is almost no space to put down their hands.

Only the old-fashioned table lamp in the center can barely occupy a place.

It's also really messy...
