Chapter 56
"Here we come! Didn't we hide?" Bert was a little nervous and relieved when he heard this.

He saw that the colonel was focusing on other things just now, so he wanted to go back with the sergeant and the others and avoid the colonel temporarily, but he was stopped.However, he was also mentally prepared for this situation. Although he didn't figure out how to make up a seamless story, he had also prepared himself psychologically for adapting to the situation. So besides being nervous, he also felt that it would be good to solve this matter now. The province has been on tenterhooks.

Hearing the colonel's order, Sergeant Jason looked at Burt, gave him a look of 'you're well-developed', and led the people away.Sergeant Carter in the crowd also looked at Bert enviously, and left with the sergeant and the others with some regret.After a while, I don't know if it was the colonel's intentional arrangement. There were quite a lot of busy navies in the whole field, but Bert and the colonel were the only two of them within 10 meters of where they were.

Colonel Byrne didn't speak after calling Burt to stop, but just smiled at him.Burt, on the other hand, adhered to the principle of remaining the same to respond to all changes, and waited for the command of the officer with a serious and quiet attitude with the attitude of a non-commissioned officer to a senior officer.

"Be patient and have a good attitude. I was a little nervous when I called him to stop him at first, but now I have calmed down completely. It feels like a calm sea. It really is not an ordinary person." Colonel Byrne evaluated what he got from [Knowledge Color] in his heart. intelligence.

"I'll see how long you can laugh, and I'll stay with you until dawn. I really don't believe that your [Information Color] has reached the point of reading thoughts." How powerful is Colonel's [Information Color]? Bert felt that the best way now is to show his true character, instead of pretending to be smart, which would only make the colonel label him dangerous.Anyway, he has nothing to say except the time travel and Chaldea, so he bet that the colonel didn't train the [color of knowledge] to an unbelievable level. As long as he can't read the mind, he thinks he can use the truth in other situations. ' Deal with it.

"Corporal Burt, don't make the atmosphere so serious, I just want to chat with you." Colonel Byrne finally broke the silence first when he saw Burt's refusal to speak.

Burt replied with a serious face: "Reporting Colonel, I was a little nervous when I was talking to a senior officer like you for the first time. But the seriousness is not intentional, it is because this face is inherently serious."

"The face is naturally serious? I remember listening to the second lieutenant's description. The pirates said that a ferocious middle-aged sailor defeated them. That is to say, this Corporal Burt looks scary." Colonel Byrne's heart changed instantly when he heard this. After a few thoughts, he laughed, "Hahahaha, interesting reason. Bert, oh, don't you mind if I call you Bert directly?"

"Of course, sir."

"Bert, how old are you this year? You and the soldier captured by Hank seem to be brothers. Did you join the navy together? Local people?"

"It's the bottom line." Burt knew in his heart that the colonel wanted to get rid of him little by little.

"Report sir, I am 17 years old. The private first class captured by Hank is called Guy. He is the same age as me. We are indeed brothers. We grew up in Rogue Town and joined the Navy at the same time last January." Bo Te answered very honestly, and he was very measured. He knew the reason why he said too much and made many mistakes, so he answered whatever the colonel asked, and didn't say a word.

"Be very cautious! But this also shows that you are aware of your situation, and at least you are subconsciously guarding against me." The colonel has seen too many people. Generally, a 17-year-old sailor will be very nervous when he sees a senior officer. The officer asked The words should be said and should not be said.And those with weird personalities are very distinctive from the moment they speak.It's not uncommon to be cautious by nature, but in the current situation, Colonel Byrne would never think that he just ran into one by such a coincidence.

"It seems to be more direct!"

"It's only been more than a year since I joined the navy! That's really incredible." After Colonel Byrne decided to speed up the progress, he first sighed with emotion, and then asked Bert directly: "Bert, are you a devil fruit user?"

"Decided to get straight to the point!" Burt knew in his heart that a tough battle was coming, and said truthfully, "No, I'm not a devil fruit user."

"Then have you ever learned any martial arts?" The colonel continued to ask.

"No, I learned fighting systematically after I joined the navy." Bert replied truthfully.

"I see." After Colonel Byrne muttered noncommittally, he suddenly asked something that stunned Bert, "Burt, is Mr. Spandyne okay?"

"Spandine?" Bert whispered the name, frowned and thought for a while before replying to the colonel: "Colonel, I'm sorry, I don't know anyone named Spandyne."

"Hahaha, it's okay, there's no need to apologize. I just thought you might know him, after all, he's a celebrity. Since you don't know him, forget it." Colonel Byrne waved his hands to signal Bert not to be nervous.

"Judging from his emotional changes, he was very confused when he heard the name, and he probably didn't know him. In addition, he is a local, so the possibility of him being a CP is not high." The colonel said when Spanda When he got this name, he focused all his attention on Burt's emotional changes, which made him both regretful and somewhat comforted. Burt obviously didn't know this Spandain, the current commander of CP9, the intelligence agency directly under the World Government.

"At least he's not CP9!" The colonel, who ruled out the worst possibility in his heart, was inexplicably relieved. As a master who is good at [knowledge and knowledge], he will always know many things that he should not know in his position.The colonel is very jealous and disgusted with this vicious organization that hides on the dark side of the world, even in CP.

"Spandyne? The more you think about this name, the more familiar you become." Bert was confused when he heard the colonel say this name, not because of the colonel's purpose, he knew that the other party must say this name to deceive himself, but At that time, he really couldn't remember seeing this Spandain in the anime, so he directly told the colonel that he didn't know him.But after he finished speaking, he repeated the name in his heart a few times, but he felt that it was a bit familiar. Maybe he didn't know it, but it was too long and he couldn't remember it.

"Could it be related to Spandam!"

"I can't continue to think about it now! This Spandain is obviously a very sensitive person. If the colonel thinks that I have something to do with him, it may be very troublesome." Bert stopped thinking about this question rationally, he already felt The colonel is probably using [Information Color] to observe his pulse, heartbeat, and even emotional changes, so it is safest to know nothing now.

After preliminarily ruling out the possibility that Burt is a CP, the colonel's suspicion and fear of Burt slightly decreased, but his love for talents quietly rose, "This Burt is not like a pirate's undercover agent, but the possibility of being a CP He is not very old now, so why has he not shown his power? If his background is indeed innocent, then with his age and qualifications, he can become a pillar of the navy. In the future chaotic era, the navy is very important. Talent like him is needed!"

The colonel's mental activities seemed complicated, but it only took him a short time to figure them out.He just paused for a while after telling Bert not to be nervous, and then sighed: "Bert, it's lucky to have you today, otherwise Rogge Town is already in flames."

Burt immediately said to the colonel sincerely after hearing the words: "Colonel, you really make me ashamed to say that. Being able to defeat Hank is the result of everyone's joint efforts, and it is by no means the credit of me alone. Especially just now my brother and the second lieutenant were killed. Hostage, if it wasn't for you, I would be completely helpless against Hank. And..., everything is like this, if Second Lieutenant Walker led everyone to block Hank's large army, then I would be robbed by pirates in Logue Town Sinners who looted." He told the colonel again what he had said to the second lieutenant who supported them, and when the second lieutenant was in a coma, Burt decided to tell the story that his plan almost messed up the mission. If he is honest on non-principle issues, he decides to be honest to the end.After all, as long as the most important secrets are not revealed, Bert can accept fines or expulsion from the Navy.

"So it's because of this reason that you fought those pirates alone at the pier." The colonel showed a clear look on his face.

Burt showed a dejected look, "Yes, sir. The more I think about it now, the more I feel that I was too arrogant. I didn't stop Hank, but I was dragged back by the pirate's vice-captain instead, causing my teammates to pay so much. Sacrifice. I am so ashamed!"

Bert, who was about to be scolded, saw the colonel wave his hand and said in a flat tone: "Bert, don't regret trying to carry out your will, no matter whether the result is good or bad. Although it is cruel to say this, but you At that time, Lieutenant Walker was the strongest among all the navies. Your success or failure determined the success or failure of the mission, as well as their life and death. Without you, the Lieutenant would still die, and even the other soldiers who survived would die, Rogue Town will also suffer. The reason why Lieutenant Walker agreed with your plan is precisely because he understands that all of them together are not as important as you. So there is no need to worry about the casualties, but other soldiers were saved by you One life."

"This..." Bert didn't know where to start.

He never dreamed that such words could come from Colonel Byrne's mouth. He originally thought that even if the Colonel wasn't arrogant, arrogant, stupid, and ignorant of the heights, he should be presenting the facts like the second lieutenant just now. Reasoning makes me feel at ease, but I never thought that peace of mind is peace of mind, because this reason is really too powerful.
