Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2358 1000 Years Later
Waking up again, Xia Duo still had a sense of discomfort from the huge difference in time flow in his head, and when he heard the familiar name again that day, he almost froze——

Maruen—t?

It wasn't Marun, but Marunt, and the relevant memories were quickly activated. In order to commemorate the first leader of this country, many elves would name their children a name related to the first leader Marun.

Marunt is one of them, roughly meaning "sheltered by the glory of Marunt".

"Maruent, what are you thinking? What are your plans after you retire?"

The familiar voice revived the memory of Xia Duo's new incarnation again. The person speaking was Marunt's comrade-in-arms Danas, who was also his fellow townsman and classmate who grew up together.

After graduating from the junior college, the two chose to enlist in the army. Apart from the ideal of defending their family and country, they also wanted to win a chance to advance to the rank of Arcanist.

After 20 years of service, it is time for both of them (Elves) to retire, and because of their outstanding performance during their service, they did get the opportunity they expected 20 years ago.

But times have changed, things have changed, and Maruent still has the idea of ​​becoming an advanced arcanist, but Danas has the idea of ​​giving up. Recently, they have been discussing this issue after their daily training.

At this moment, Xia Duo would not be completely blank when he was asked, so he replied: "After retiring, I plan to go to university for further study. Danas, I suggest that you also join me. The experience of university study can increase the total sequence points. In the future Whatever you do is good."

"University studies only have points for the research sequence! I know I'm not expected to be in power, and I don't want to engage in research work. What's the use of getting the points for this research sequence? If we change jobs directly, there is a high probability that we will be able to get points from our hometown this time." Public security station, when the time comes, I will be the team leader and you will be the instructor, don't mention how happy it will be!"

In fact, what Danas said was also what the original Maruent thought, but now that Maruent has changed his "core" and Xia Duo is here, after a preliminary understanding of the current situation, of course he would not choose to change jobs directly.

Danas said that changing jobs and returning to his hometown to become a team leader and instructor is indeed a good way out for normal soldiers, but Xia Duo must consider the public supervision that the team leader and instructor usually face, and what he cares most about—

Marunte also has a wife and a daughter in his hometown, and Xia Duo really doesn't want to face them all the time.

So he can only choose to go to university for further study, and delay this period of time, and when he returns to the main plane, he doesn't need to think about the funeral here.

Moreover, choosing to study in a university can be regarded as a little compensation for Maruent, the original owner of his body!

In the end, Xia Duo and Danas failed to reach an agreement. Danas seemed a little unhappy, but the two brothers did not turn their faces. On the contrary, Danas also expressed to Xia Duo his best wishes for Maruen's future, and at the same time promised You can always find him if you need anything.

And Xia Duo asked Danas to help take care of Maruent's wife and daughter. Maruent's wife and they were also classmates. After graduating from junior college, they responded to the country's call to marry and have children, and then entered a local breeding base to work.

After serving in the military for 20 years, Maruent only had occasional vacations to go back and have a look. The relationship between the two parties was as thin as water, but they were also inseparable like water.

Xia Duo can only say sorry to Maruent's wife and daughter now, and when he gets what he wants, he will return their husband and father to them.

……

Half a month after changing jobs, Xia Duo received a notice of retirement after performing the last training mission with Danas, and then the two returned to the station with their own emotions.

"Maruent, Danas, please lie down in the life support cabin, it may hurt a little, if you can't help it, you can yell."

"20 years in the army, dozens of battles, big and small, come on, whoever is called grandson!" Danas roared, and winked at Xia Duo provocatively.

But Xia Duo understood that although the officer said "a little pain", it is most likely not nonsense. Stripping off the blood of the devil is not an easy job. With Xia Duo's understanding of the power of the devil, he couldn't even figure out how it was done.

It's just that he knows that blood is related to the essence of a living being's body, and a little pain may be "too painful to die", which is unbearable even as a professional soldier.

But the devil's blood had to be stripped off. This was one of the decommissioning procedures and an important measure to ensure that normal society would not be polluted.

In the current era, the Scarlet Heart tribe is no longer what Xia Duo was in the previous projection, but has formed the [Red Heart-Irfaran Alliance] with Irfaran.

Xia Duo originally envisioned that the demons would become completely equal to the pure-blooded elves, and it has been fully realized, even in an even better way.

The Chixin ruling constrains the power of demons in the army. Only those who serve in the army will be implanted with demon blood, ensuring the strongest survivability and the most basic combat effectiveness of professional soldiers on the battlefield.

When professional soldiers retire, in order to prevent the spread of the contamination of the demonic blood, they will be required to strip off the previously implanted demonic blood.

This is similar to the storage of weapons when the soldiers in Xia Duo's hometown leave the army.

In addition to stripping the blood of the demon, the weapons and equipment used in the army also need to be exchanged, and the most critical thing is the cancellation of the authority of combat spells.

In today's [Red Heart-Irfaran Alliance], the people don't need to rely on themselves to protect themselves, but instead delegate the power to protect themselves to the army and security officers.

The specific manifestation is that only the army and security officers have the authority to cast combat spells.

At the moment they received the notice of retirement, Xia Duo, Danas and other retired fighters had already been revoked of their combat spell authority, and only after that was the procedure of handing in their weapons and equipment and stripping off their demonic blood.

In the life-saving warehouse, the water of colorful elements was injected little by little. Xia Duo was still thinking about the process of forming this order. There is no doubt that the current [Red Heart-Ilfaran Alliance] is in line with his expectations.

"hiss--"

Xia Duo gasped, but what he inhaled was almost nothingness of elemental water, but at this moment, he had no time to think about the taste of elemental water, and his brain was blanked by the pain that pierced his bones.

But after the blank, Xia Duo guarded the last sliver of clarity, and instead of yelling, he clenched his fists tightly. This feeling was almost exactly the same as the blood riot in the previous projection.

Last time, he survived by cheating in space, but this time he is not going to cheat. After all, all professional soldiers strip their blood in this way, and Xia Duo also wants to experience it.

At this moment, he noticed that in the opposite life-support cabin, Danas twisted his body, his eyes protruded strangely, and he was waiting for him viciously, as if he was waiting for him to scream, and then he could scream himself.

Of course, Xia Duo will not let Danas wish. He would rather bite off his tongue than shout out. In this way, the two sides are fighting together. If only the two of them retire this time, maybe they will just support each other like this down.

But it was far more than the two of them who retired this time. Soon someone couldn't hold on anymore and wailed in pain. It was as if a certain valve had been opened, and then the wailing sound appeared one after another.

As for Xia Duo, when Danas couldn't hold it anymore, he also started to let go of his voice and scream. This kind of pain is really not something ordinary people can bear.

But fortunately, the process didn't take long. After stripping off the pain bonus, it only took about a dozen or 20 seconds.
