But this time Galen stopped him without any surprise.
"Wait, Mr. Chen Ce."
"What's wrong?" Chen Ce's tone seemed a little cold, as if he was still resenting the other person for "insulting his character" just now.
"Let me recommend a job to you." Galen smiled. "It's a 'recommendation', not a 'help you find' - can you accept it this time?"
"I don't need it." Chen Ce's tone was still cold.
Galen was not annoyed at all, and continued patiently: "You have the ability and are looking for opportunities. Why not give it a try? Rather than moving goods at the dock, I think you should go to a better place - a place that requires your skills and A place of integrity.”
After a short pause, he smiled appreciatively: "Especially 'Integrity'."
Chen Ce finally stopped.
Inwardly delighted.
"Okay... you tell me, I will think about it myself."
"The Demon Searching Corps." Galen said without thinking.
As soon as the name came out, Chen Ce burst into laughter again.
Another person at the table felt a little nervous.
Fortunately, no one noticed - at least Galen really didn't notice.She felt that Chen Ce didn't notice either.
On the premise that she didn't know Chen Ce's "snooping ability".
"Although the Demon Search Corps is a very marginal department, and the salary and benefits are relatively poor...but I think it's really suitable for you." Among the three, only Galen was completely "kept in the dark".He was still introducing enthusiastically:
"As long as you are willing to work hard, I think you will be promoted very quickly with your ability, and there will be a lot of benefits... Of course, I believe that with your character, the benefits are not even important - I can see that Come out, you are a young man with integrity, ideals and ambitions."
"Hmm..." Chen Ce nodded hesitantly.
I spit in my heart.
The benefits are not important... I dare to say it... Is this a Demacian?
As long as you can serve the country, let alone working for nothing, you can even work at your own expense and laugh at your dreams?
"In addition, I promise that I will not use public affairs for personal gain or provide you with any convenience." Galen continued. "I will only recommend you to the people of the Demon Search Corps and explain your situation and abilities to them truthfully."
The way he spoke was also righteous.
Chen Ce complained again in his heart... This upright swordsman captain is really too upright.
With his status and power in Demacia, when you say hello to others, they will think that you are going "through the back door" - even if you try to explain, it will be useless, others will only take it as a polite comment or a request to do things more cleanly. .
You really don’t know anything about the ways of the world...
"If that's the case..." Chen Ce pretended to be hesitant again, "The Demon Searchers... I have heard a little bit about them. I know that they are a group of soldiers who hunt for magicians... and my home is also under magic. division……"
"Then it seems that this is a perfect fit." Galen was very satisfied with his wise decision, "But I need to remind you again - the treatment of the Demon Searching Corps is really not very good. If you have any difficulties in life, …You can come to me.”
He sounded a little guilty, as if he were being pushed into a pit of fire - albeit a proper one.
"This..." Chen Ce was still hesitating.
But Galen had made up his mind, "Okay, this matter is settled. I will go to the military camp for training first, and by the way, I will tell the people of the Demon Search Corps, and I will ask Lacus to take you to report later."
"But I haven't..."
"There's nothing to hesitate about. If you really don't like it then, just say it."
"Can……"
"Okay, it's decided." Without waiting for anything else, Galen picked up the kettle and ran out, for fear of being rejected again.
Suddenly, the only ones left in the room were Chen Ce, who looked hard on the outside but was secretly happy on the inside, and Lux, who looked confused.
"This Galen...!" The girl crossed her arms angrily, "Ignore him, Mr. Chen Ce. If you don't like it, don't go. No one can force you - if Galen dares to say anything, I will Beat him up for you!"
"This...although...but..." Chen Ce scratched his head, "Swordsman Commander Galen also has good intentions...I..."
"You are too soft-hearted!"
"This... I'd better trouble Miss Lux to take me there later..."
"Oh my God... Okay, okay, being soft-hearted is also a virtue." Lux rolled her eyes - the kind of speechless expression between friends, without any malice.
She believed in Galen's vision for making friends, and with her lively personality, she quickly regarded Chen Ce as her friend.
only……
There is also an imperceptible worry hidden beneath her enthusiastic surface.
Because...if Chen Ce becomes a demon hunter...
Maybe their friendship will end this morning...
because...because...
In fact, she is also someone who everyone in Demacia calls for beating...
magician...
Chapter 63 I'm going to...come out and provoke...!
When the sun fully rose, Lux changed into a formal suit for going out.
A pair of silver light armor only covered a little below the chest, and covering the abdomen was a blue corset; because she was not going to the battlefield, her skirt armor was more like a silver belt. Several bottles of healing potions could be stored on it; she used a hairband to slightly hold back her long, silky golden hair, making her look more dignified.
Even hard armor can't cover up her girlish youthfulness.
She folded her hands behind her waist, leaned down slightly, and a strand of long golden hair circled her pointed ears and fell on the side of her face, making her look more lively under the sunlight.She stood by the door, like a girl getting ready to go out for fun, with a smile on her face.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Demon Search Corps to sign up."
"Okay." Chen Ce smiled back, with the same calmness but without the same luxurious clothes - the clothes he was wearing now were the clothes he brought from Ionia.In order to confirm his identity as an Ionian.
But this suit is no worse than any expensive clothes.
Although its cost is not high, it is sewn by Irelia herself and is very comfortable to wear.
Irelia...
"Come on, what are you thinking about?" The girl at the door called again, with a bit of playfulness in her tone: "Maybe... you are thinking about your little girlfriend~?"
"Ahem..." Chen Ce quickly followed.
The two were walking side by side on the street. There were already many more pedestrians on the road at that time - the prosperity of Demacia's capital city could almost be regarded as the most prosperous in Rune Land.
The barren Noxus is not as tidy as here, the cold Freljord is not as prosperous as here, and the technological Twin Cities are not as kind and friendly as here... Xiongdu is indeed a suitable place to settle.
"Ionia is also beautiful over there, isn't it?" Lux, an outgoing person, took the initiative to chat while walking on the road. "I heard that the breath of nature is everywhere there, and people and nature live in harmony... I've always wanted to visit."
"It's quite good." Chen Ce said sincerely, "There are many beautiful scenery and strange creatures there, and everyone is very nice... If you have the opportunity in the future, please allow me to be your tour guide in Ionia. "
"Then thank you in advance~ Ionia has been in war before, and I didn't even have the chance to go."
"Now that the war is over, there is prosperity."
"Yeah, that's great~"
............
......
The two talked and laughed along the way.
Lux has always been a girl who longed for freedom, but the red tape and complicated political affairs among the nobles made her breathless...she had no chance to travel far away.She longed for the sea and hills in the distance.
So she listened to Chen Ce very carefully.Her eyes were full of yearning, and there was always a beautiful smile on her lips.
Little did she know that doing so would bring "bad luck" to Chen Ce.
Her cheerful smile and melodious laughter attracted the attention of many passers-by - no one in Xiongdu did not know the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family.They were surprised that she was traveling alone with a man.
Ordinary passers-by were astonished, while some of the little nobles who didn't get what they wanted were so angry that they were itching their teeth.
How could a country man with simple clothes and even poverty deserve to chat and laugh with the eldest lady of the Crown Guard family?
Some were having fun, some were eating lemons, and some... were secretly tipping off the news.
Of course, those who reported the news did not report it to their young master and then find someone to teach Chen Ce or something... Real nobles could not do such vulgar and funny stupid things.
They wanted to report the news to the people of the Crown Guard family.
Reported to... Laxana Crownguard's aunt.
The real leader of the Crown Guard family.
Of course, this was just a "misunderstanding" and would not have any impact on Lux, but the bystanders didn't know that.
Even Lux herself didn't know.
It's just that her aunt has recently come up with a plan... one that could take her even further into the center of power.So she's been secretly spying on her good niece lately.
"We are almost there, Mr. Chen Ce." The unaware Lux pointed to the military camp at the end of the street, still enthusiastic about the young man beside her.
"It's really hard for you to personally lead the way for me, Miss Lux." Chen Ce performed a standard traditional Ionian etiquette to the other party.
The latter's eyes lit up. "Is this your Ionian etiquette? It seems elegant and simple, much better than our Demacia's red tape!"
It was not easy for Chen Ce to express his affirmation in this sentence.
"It would be great if we in Demacia could be so understanding... It's really distressing." Lux curled her lips, "But let's talk about business now."
"Well, I'll go in first." Chen Ce was about to walk to the army camp of the Demon Searching Corps.
But Lux grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute... didn't I say we wanted to talk about business?"
"talk?"
"Yes, I just want to confirm with you one last time...have you really decided to become a demon hunter?"
"According to Swordsman Captain Galen's suggestion, I think I still need to give it a try."
"Um……"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I'll take you in." Lux showed a warm smile again, but if you look closely, you will find that she is not so sincere. "Galen is not here. If you go in directly, they won't believe you."
"In this case... I'll trouble you, Miss Lux." Chen Ce saluted again.
"No need to be polite to me~"
It has to be said that the name of the Crownguard family is very useful in the capital and even in Demacia as a whole.
Under the leadership of Laxana Crownguard, Chen Ce's process of joining the Demon-Searching Corps couldn't be simpler. The privilege of having the green light all the way reminded him of the feeling he had in Noxus.
The feeling of being superior to others.
That's the benefit of power.
No wonder everyone wants to have power.
The squad leader, who originally had a hint of contempt in his eyes, immediately became serious the moment he saw Lux, and he did not dare to treat Chen Ce lightly - even though he initially thought that this plainly dressed foreigner was here to try his luck. Green head.
From the ordinary demon searchers who were practicing to the team leader who had an official position, everyone greeted them with a smile.
The squad leader even gave a special warning when distributing uniforms to Chen Ce: "Newcomers don't need to practice today, just stroll around casually. It's not too late to start again tomorrow - anyway, a powerful swordsman like Galen can't be trained in a day." Well, it’s not less than a day and a half.”
Fruit drinks and other items are all available in the lounge.
It can be said to be VIP-level treatment.
I'm afraid that's what the higher-ups will do to check, right?
It's just ridiculous that Galen still thinks that his "tell the Demon Searching Corps" is absolutely upright, reasonable, and will never be used for personal gain...
In contrast, Lux, whose brain has been flexible since childhood, has already seen through everything - but she didn't say much.Friends, isn't it normal to help?
Moreover, she also believes in Galen's vision. She believes that Chen Ce does have this ability. "Say hello" just saves some unnecessary tests and troubles - those complicated and meaningless review processes are her One of the most annoying forms of “red tape”.
Of course, objectively she's not entirely right.It's just that she thought so when she was young.
"Okay, now you are a real demon searcher." In the lounge, Lux stretched, smiled and poked the new uniform in the other person's hand.
The squad leader went to announce the matter to others, and now they were the only two in the lounge.
"I just don't know if this uniform fits you... If it doesn't fit, you must tell Captain Jonathan. Don't be embarrassed."
