A Chime Below the Throne [Interstellar]

Compared with when Homan first arrived in Saffron, the current mission office has a lot more people, and it is full of prosperity.

Although it is not the earliest senior mercenary, Homan is also a person with a fixed regiment.It's just that recently his permanent group, Whirlwind Bear, has sent a group to the edge planet to collect the corpses of the hairy worms.

Homan didn't participate because he had just finished the small task.

As soon as he walked to group f, the place where he often received tasks, he ran into an acquaintance - Chuck, the task director.

Chuck is a sentinel, but he doesn't have the bravery of a sentinel at all. He only sees the existing comfort in his eyes, and he never rushes to the guide like other sentries, and marries a beautiful local woman, Jamoli.Fortunately, he is not bad, he can be regarded as his duty and discipline, so he has been able to cooperate with Homan for so long.

"Yo! Long time no see! Homan." Chuck's enthusiastic smile made Homan feel much better.

"Chuck. Is there any suitable task for me? I've been spending time at home recently." As soon as Homan relaxed, a palm-sized parrot slipped out from behind him, flapping its wings and whistling comfortably. Slowly fell to the top of the master's head——

"Morning Chuck, wonderful Chuck! Chuck is a good guy!"

"Hahahahaha! Chick is so cute too!" Because Lao Tzu always called out Chick, Chuck followed Homan's group of fixed regiment members and called him Chick.Probably these mercenaries have seen too many majestic and powerful sentinel spirits, and they suddenly saw such a cute type of Lao Tzu, whose three views quickly collapsed and brainwashed to become bird slaves.Three days later, Lao Tzu was promoted to the mascot of the regiment, and the head of the regiment almost changed his name from Cyclone Bear to Lao Zi Bird (!).

Regarding the new name that came out at some time, I didn't even feel that it would damage his majestic image, but he never tired of it, "Oh, I like it so much."

There were so many slots that Homan couldn't get it out of his mouth.

To be honest, after connecting with this little parrot, in addition to having a spiritual connection with it, the mental power has slightly increased.This guy is useless at all.There are only two people who know best, Hu bb and singing rap.

So what constructive help can these two gadgets give Homan?

Lao Tzu made two noises, and suddenly looked at Chuck and yelled ghostly: "Oh! Chuck! Did you have a psychosis again yesterday? Let Homan guide you!"

"Get out!" Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

Homan rolled his eyes, thinking that from this point of view, he really has to thank Ludwig.If it weren't for that guy's powerful force to suppress him, would this parrot beak survive to this day?

Chuck scratched his head: "Haha, don't expose your master's shortcomings. It's not that you don't know that he doesn't know how to counsel..."

Homan didn't answer this sentence, and said again: "Is there any new task that I can take on? It is best to complete it within a few days. I will leave Saffron for a while in a few days."

Just kidding, he wouldn't be so stupid as to create a chance to get in touch with anyone in the central government.

Chuck had a playful expression: "You are not hiding from the Central Army, are you?"

Homan smiled and didn't deny it.He didn't intend to hide it. As soon as the central army came, most of the mercenaries had to run outside to avoid the limelight.These people, especially the sentinels, have several identities that are really visible.

Chuck was thoughtful, and his honest smile suddenly became a little more vicious: "If it's because of this, I advise you not to bother."

Homan didn't understand, and blinked: "What?"

"The advance army of the central army has been stationed in. Just yesterday."

"What?" Homan lost his voice.

yesterday!

What did he do yesterday!

I just came back from a mission, found a bar, hooked up with a girl and got drunk, I didn't know the color of the sky, let alone a garrison.

Chuck's black and white eyes blinked: "That's right. You don't know? That's right, it came from the internal passage. You haven't been to the mission for many days, so it's normal if you don't know. This surprise attack We're all devastated."

Homan stared angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Fortunately, because of what those two idiots said on the road, he was more convinced that he would only come next week, but he didn't know that those two buddies probably just came back from a mission, Information lags like this.

"This thing is a secret! It was until yesterday when I arrived. And how did I know that you also need to hide from the Central Army."

Homan was so frantic that he pulled his hair. The idle days on the border really squandered his sense of crisis.The army has already entered, and there will be a lot of martial law when people go out. It is too late to get out now: "So, do you know what army is here? What are you going to do?"

"I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know if it's some kind of military drama... I'm such a young man, and I don't even know about the army. But I heard that it's the elite army under the third prince..."

iris.

Homan's heart skipped a beat.

"Speaking of which, I really have a task here that is particularly suitable for you. However, it may not be completed in two or three days. Wait a minute, let me go through it." As if he didn't see Homan's bad face, Chuck changed his subject Turn around, and turn over the task file disc one by one.

Homan pressed his hand down: "No need. I suddenly feel that I should rest for a few more days." After speaking, Chuck turned and left without giving Chuck a chance to continue talking.

Chuck snorted twice, pouted his lips: "Don't be so anxious ~ it's really suitable."

He took out a disk-shaped file, looked through it carefully, and said without giving up: "It's really suitable. The reward is also rich. No one can do it except you~"

By this time, Homan had already disappeared.

Besides, he wasn't a sentinel either, so naturally he didn't hear anything from such a long distance.

The slightly agitated Homan had just put the "moving and beating" stupid bird into his mental sea when he bumped into a tall man with his back foot.

The man didn't move at all, but let out an "ouch".

Homan was hit on the nose.Now he is not as tough as before, and this collision brought tears to his eyes.

The voice of the man who was hit was slightly familiar.

And God knows, Homan really didn't want to hear any familiar voices.

He said sorry, turned around and was about to leave, but he didn't expect the man to snort, grabbed Homan's collar, and his nose shook: "Hey! Homan! It's really you..."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

One day I met two dog noses.

Homan, who was caught upright, turned around stiffly, feeling bitter in his heart.

This man was wearing an ordinary black cloak, but his figure was vigorous and his eyes were full of vigor.The big white dog next to him nodded his tongue, and almost fell on Homan's face with his breath.

Homan's facial muscles were stiff, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Fergus."

When Fergus heard Homan calling his name, his eyes were as bright as they were a year ago, and he even shed tears sporadically.Compared with before, although his face is still a little baby fat, his whole demeanor is a bit more mature, and his words are even more admiring: "Senior."

Homan was shocked and startled.Fergus can be regarded as being tricked into Iris by him, but he doesn't know why it will be like this when we meet again...

Fergus obviously didn't expect to meet Homan here, and he grabbed Homan's shoulder with both hands excitedly, but was avoided.This didn't embarrass him, instead, he leaned over with a sincere face: "Senior, I really have to thank you!"

Homan lowered his eyes and said coldly: "It's nothing. Don't mention the past. If you really thank me, please don't mention the matter of meeting me."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but was quickly stopped by Fergus: "Horman! Where are you going? Are you going to eat? I invite you!"

The vigorous Samoyed Hululu rubbed his belly and followed, with such a thick skin that he didn't realize that Homan was avoiding him at all.

"no need."

"Why don't you use it! If it wasn't for the promotion by the senior, I wouldn't be where I am today! As a commoner, being able to make an exception into Iris is simply a supreme honor! At that time, I was young and ignorant, and I was only foolish and foolish to oppose the senior. Now..."

"Woof woof, woof woof, woof woof!"

Twitter, twitter.

This level is almost comparable to that of Lao Tzu. If we really want to meet each other, do we still have to talk? .

One-way avoidance is not the answer.Hearing the word iris, Homan rolled his eyes and had a new idea: "In this case, let's go to the bar next door and have a drink."

When Fergus heard this, his eyes lit up.That Samoyed was worthy of being called "the Samoyed like the wind", and quickly grabbed Homan's shoes and rushed into a nearby restaurant.

Homan turned his head and saw that it happened that the family had never been here before.As he hoped, this unfamiliar occasion was also convenient for asking questions.So regardless of the embarrassment, he was dragged in naturally.

Flipping through the menu, the glowing eyes on the other side made Homan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It's not that his mental quality has deteriorated, it's just that he has grown up since he was a child.He has been intimidated and attacked by admiration, envy, even hatred, and jealous eyes, but there has never been a person like Fergus...

So simple.

He looked at Homan as if he was really just looking at Homan

When he said he was grateful, he was truly grateful.

He didn't even change his attitude because of any changes in Homan.

This was unexpected when Homan took this guy away.There will be people who will thank him without any scruples because of his mere behavior.

"How's the inner galaxy?" Homan pinched the menu with his pale fingers, and he still didn't make a decision.

Fergus was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "It's not long since I went back. But... before I went back, the upper management was shocked for a long time when I heard about the third prince." After finishing speaking, he secretly looked at Homan Wink.

Homan had no expression.He knew about this a long time ago, and judging by Fergus' appearance, he also knew about it a long time ago.

It's just that this matter really doesn't seem to matter to him.

Homan sorted out the menu, and grinned, "A cup of Nuoqi."

Seeing Homan's acceptance, Fergus smiled like two crescents: "Me too."

"Wang Wang Wang."

The tense atmosphere finally loosened.
