Royal Alchemist

Xie Jiang was sitting in his cousin Ke Yucheng's car. Ke Yucheng kept secret about their destination, and he didn't tell the truth until the car drove more than halfway.

"It was a gathering point for the self-help association of families. Most of the members were the families of the soldiers of the Legion of Light who died, and a considerable number were the families of the Sirius Legion. This is a spontaneous organization, because they share the same pain and share We gathered together for psychological adjustment and counseling, and many other families struggled to survive and couldn’t get enough to eat. Some wealthy people in the self-help club would provide some relief food. I think it’s necessary for you to go and see.” Ke Yucheng said.

General Xie, who was always looking out of the car, took his eyes back: "The report on the Dimensional Battle that you showed me that day was obtained from this self-help meeting?"

"Yes, although they are non-governmental organizations, they also have their own channels."

"How did you get in touch with them?"

General Xie's question was a little doubtful, and Ke Yucheng was silent for a few seconds, which was enough to slow down the pace of the conversation and take the control into his own hands: "I have a friend, she is a member of the Legion of Light. The lieutenant’s fiancée was originally planning to get married after returning from that expedition, but she never got her fiancée. At first she was shocked and couldn’t accept this reality at all. Later, she participated in a self-help meeting, and then slowly returned to normal life .”

There was no question to get the desired result, Xie Jiang did not continue to ask.He was very interested in this self-help meeting. After his father died in the Dimensional Battle, he was depressed for a long time. Although he hid it well in front of outsiders, no one could see his inner grief, but in fact he was very depressing.When his father was promoted to admiral, it was the time when the Xie family was at its peak. Although all the uncles worked hard to support the Xie family, the Xie family inevitably went downhill. It can be said that if Xie's father hadn't passed away so early, there would be no such thing as Wallace. ?

The pain of losing his father as a teenager and the negative impact on his family after his father's death put double pressure on him, forcing him to put all his energy on study and training, trying to empty his mind with heavy and intensive training , soaking in the training ground during the day, and soaking in the [-]D net after returning to the dormitory.At that time, I met Qiuye by accident. At first I thought it was interesting, but then I gradually discovered his appearance that I had never seen before. Every time I saw him studying a new course seriously, his face was filled with a smile like a little sun , The depressed heart involuntarily followed him to relax.Although he never mentioned his father's matter to him, under his positive and optimistic infection, he gradually stepped out of the shadows.Of course, the main reason for not saying it was because he was afraid of being recognized by Qiu Ye, although it was exposed in the end.

There are some things he has always wanted to say, but he has never dared to say them, that is, he is very grateful to Qiu Ye.At the same time, he also regretted it very much. When Qiu Ye pursued him, he always dismissed him. When he wanted to pursue him later, he had already run to a place where he couldn't even reach him.If he had been accepted back then, would there have been any later events?

After so many years, I still can't let it go, probably people are cheap.

"Most are from the Legion of Light, what about the Legion of Shining? Didn't the Legion of Shining in the Luke Corridor also sacrifice a lot of people?" General Xie asked.

"There are also Shining Legion, but very few." Ke Yucheng replied, "Feng Qi did a lot of appeasement work after the war, didn't he reveal the arrears of the pension, and the people in the Military Affairs Department gritted their teeth at him all day long. It is said that before he defected, he left a large sum of money to make up for the vacancies in his army's pension. In fact, as long as the family members have enough living expenses and can survive, they will not make trouble. Who doesn't want to live in peace and stability? , It’s that simple. And after the Shining Legion left, many family members of the soldiers followed him to Queser, and it is said that Feng Qi will provide them with job opportunities.”

"No one cares?"

"Want to take care of it? Who cares? The riots have just subsided, and all the planets are in great chaos. They can't manage it at all! Moreover, the empire's economy has declined so badly, and the unemployment rate remains high, which means that they will be hungry if they stay here. When you get there, you will have food, work, and income, and why don’t you run away desperately?”

"That's right." Jiang Xie smiled wryly, "Feng Qi needs people, they need bread, and they hit it off."

"arrive."

The car stops in front of a cafe.There was a closing sign at the door, but Ke Yucheng brought Xie Jiang into the cafe smoothly.

There were some people sitting in twos and threes inside, and they didn't seem to be doing anything special, just chatting in low voices.Xie Jiang walked through the tables of people. Although he was wearing casual clothes today, he still attracted everyone's attention. The cafe fell silent instantly, and everyone turned to stare at him, following him. move.

Ke Yucheng and Xie Jiang walked through the coffee shop on the first floor, went directly to the second floor, and stopped in front of a box with a cherry blossom pattern.Ke Yucheng rang the doorbell a few times, and a tall man opened a crack in the door. He glanced at Ke Yucheng, then at General Xie, and stepped out of the way.

Apart from this tall man, there were only two people in the room, one was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and the other was a woman in her thirties with a good-looking face.

As soon as the woman saw them, she stood up, nodded to Ke Yucheng first, and said to General Xie, "Are you Colonel General Xie?"

General Xie took a look at Ke Yucheng, if he didn't know what kind of person his cousin was, he would really think that he sold himself out.

"Don't look at him, I asked him to invite you." The woman said bluntly, "My name is Xue Anni, and this is Heller. His son died in Luke's corridor at the age of 17." She pointed The middle-aged man then pointed to the tall man who opened the door, "This is Ooka, and his elder brother was also killed in the Luke Corridor. As for me, my husband has never been heard from during the Dimensional War."

Although there were two men and one woman in the room, it was obvious that this woman was the leader.General Xie shook hands with them one by one. When he heard her say that her husband died in the Dimensional Battle, he felt a little sympathetic, and even shook hands a little harder.

"Is she the friend you said?" General Xie asked Ke Yucheng, his memory was slightly wrong.

"No, it's not her, but my friend recovered from Annie's guidance. Many people here have been helped by Annie. She is amazing."

Xue Anni was a little embarrassed: "Is it Millie? It's nothing, it just happens that we have a lot of common language. After my husband disappeared, I was also very depressed. Later, I slowly adjusted myself and got out of the shadows. For this reason, I taught myself a lot. Psychology books finally have some use.”

This woman speaks very fast and powerfully, so that the listener is refreshed and can't help following her rhythm.

"Colonel Xie, my husband used to be your father's soldier. I am very sorry for your father's sacrifice, but I am also very happy to see his descendants here. Ah, I also brought my husband's photo , do you want to see it?" Xue Anni took out the photo without waiting for others to answer, "Look, my husband Edmund is a sergeant, isn't he very handsome?"

The photo is not as big as a palm, she treasures the photo of her sweetheart like a girl with a spring heart, and proudly says to people: Look, what a handsome man, I love him!

Anyone who can laugh and discuss tragedies has a strong heart. Every time Xie Jiang misses his father, he can't help but feel sad, and he still can't calm his heart, so he admires this woman very much.

"He must be an excellent soldier." General Xie smiled and returned the photo to Xue Anni.

Xie Jiang was handsome and gentle, so it was easy to win the favor of others. Xue Anni smiled straightforwardly and carefully put away the photos.

"Okay, let's talk about something serious. Since you intend to find me, what's the matter?" Xie will bring the topic on the right track.

"Because we have a common sorrow, I think you should be able to understand us." Xue Anni sat in front of him and handed several reports that had been prepared to him, "I have sufficient evidence to show that the Luke Corridor and the Dimensional battles have many similarities. Before the war broke out, the energy fluctuations there had a strange reaction, and the command continued to let the soldiers who were kept in the dark go forward, knowing that there was an abnormality.”

The reports are almost all energy reports and autopsy reports, Ke Yucheng showed him a part, and now Xue Anni gave him the complete report.

Xie Jiang frowned slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask under Xue Anni's burning gaze.

Ke Yucheng noticed the change in his expression, and immediately understood what he was thinking. These reports in front of him involved military secrets. Why did she, a commoner woman, get them?So Ke Yucheng said in a low voice: "Many family members in the self-help club are also soldiers, so...you understand..."

At this moment, General Xie has only one thought in his mind, and that is: Chaos!What a mess!

"So?" General Xie asked.

Xue Anni said sternly: "So I think someone in the upper echelon of the empire colluded with the dragon people to kill compatriots! The high command clearly knew that there was an anomaly, and this anomaly happened eight years ago, and drove the soldiers to death. Could it be that Don't you think this is abnormal? If it wasn't for someone from the top of the empire to fall to the dragon people, how can it be explained?"

Xie Jiang can't help but laugh.In fact, some of the conclusions in the report were discussed by the military after the war, and it can only be concluded that the dragons used a similar attack method. These reports alone cannot prove that there are dragons in the empire.Moreover, several important planets were trapped at that time, and rescue was imminent. This degree of abnormality was not enough to stop the major legions. At that time, Feng Qi only slowed down his progress, and was scolded by many people. , and who dares to jump out and say: There are weirdness ahead, this battle cannot be fought?Xue Anni's inference is too arbitrary and contains subjective assumptions.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid she would be ridiculed on the spot for talking nonsense, but Xie Jiang would not, he just explained in a good temper: "Madam, we are soldiers, and our mission is to rescue the people from danger. , if you don’t fight because of danger, what do you need soldiers for?”

Women are sensitive after all, Xue Anni understood that he didn't believe him at all when she heard him: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but the fact is that there was a dragon man around the emperor?"

"You mean Harvey Andre? He was exposed before the Luke Corridor fight, and he was executed on the spot."

Xue Anni forced her to ask: "Can you guarantee that he is the only Demon Dragon Man?"

Xie Jiang was questioned by her, of course he couldn't guarantee it, and he couldn't deny it, but this was just her guess.

"I know you still don't believe me!" Xue Anni said, flipping through the information quickly, "But look here, the training star field planned by the Sirius Legion eight years ago was the Brandt Starfield, but after arriving in Brandt The day before I was told to transfer to the Dimension Starfield, don’t you think it’s too coincidental? The training facilities have been set up in Brandt, why did you temporarily change to Dimension? Isn’t it a trap now that you think about it?”

General Xie did not deny her speculation, but he would never believe it based on these unfounded inferences, but he had to admire her for desperately collecting all relevant information for her dead husband.

"If your father was murdered! Don't you want to avenge him?" Xue Anni suddenly raised her voice, her eyes turned red.In fact, for so many years, she still couldn't let go of her husband's death.

Xie Jiang's heart felt as if someone had punched him, and his breathing was stagnant. If what he said earlier was not of much use to him, then this sentence completely hit his weakness.

What if the father was really murdered?

"Can I take these reports back for a look?" General Xie said.

"No!" Xue Anni withdrew the report protectively, with distrust in her eyes.

General Xie expressed his understanding: "Well, I will think about your opinion carefully, but I need a little time."

Xue Anni calmed down, and smiled lightly: "It's a pleasure to meet you today."

When he got home, General Xie was restless, and Xue Anni's words kept lingering in his ears, making him restless, so he called Philip.

As soon as Philip came, he found that his face was not very good: "what's the matter, what happened?"

General Xie shook his head, and roughly explained the process of going to the self-help meeting today and the meeting with Xue Anni.

Philip fell into silence. His uncle also died in the battle of dimensions. The Sirius Legion was dominated by upstarts. Therefore, in the battle of dimensions, many upstart families died.

After a long time, Philip raised his head and said, "I remember that time, you told me that you thought your father's sacrifice was weird."

General Xie sighed with a sullen face, "Yes, I said so."
