Not cold [Interstellar]

"My lord, with all due respect, after I graduate, it is not the best time to return to the Holy See."

Ke Wei expressed his plans for the future in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "You are too busy at work, please reduce your office hours appropriately, pay attention to rest, take care of yourself, and your body will recover."

The Pope was noncommittal, and Ke Wei continued: "The reorganization of the Second Legion is about to be completed, and I will wait for the graduation season of the Imperial Higher Military Academy, and after recruiting a group of new members, I will rush to the front to support the battle. I should enter the army at this time .”

Ke Wei's objection was beyond the Pope's expectation, and he listened quietly to Ke Wei's reasons.

"Because of the previous battle, more than half of the officers of the Second Army were lost. Now is a great time to join. There are many vacancies in the Second Army, and newcomers will have greater opportunities for development."

Ke Wei gave his reasons and ushered in a long silence from the Pope.

The Pope looked at him, and Ke Wei understood that he didn't know what the Pope would think about such an abrupt request.

Ke Wei possesses the abilities and memories of his previous life, and the growth rate of his personal abilities is like riding a roller coaster by leaps and bounds.But it was abnormal and demonic, not only did Yue Lais feel that something was wrong, but the Pope didn't say it publicly, it didn't mean he didn't think about it.

"You want to go to the Second Legion?"

"Yes."

The pope said: "I can see that this is not all your reasons."

Ke Wei gave a reasonable answer: "Zhong Yue was transferred to the First Army Corps, and made great achievements in the front line. His prestige in the army is increasing day by day, and he is deeply respected and loved by the sergeants. His outstanding commander His ability makes me look forward to working and studying under him after he returns to the Second Army."

After thinking for a while, Ke Wei added: "I can get to know this person better through close contact with Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue is not someone in the pool. I will go to inquire about the news for you now, so that I can know myself and the enemy, and it is also for the future. Make a plan."

The Pope thought for a moment, and finally said: "Okay. Then you go."

Ke Wei didn't know that the tiny invisible monitor attached to the wall had sent this conversation to the hidden voyeur in real time.

"Come with me," said the Pope.

Ke Wei followed the pope all the way through the central church and walked to the living area of ​​the pope.

Ever since Ke Wei grew up, his meetings with the Pope were held in public areas, and he hadn't been to the Pope's residence for many years.

The decorations in the Pope's palace are not much different from Ke Wei's memory.The Pope took him into the underground wine cellar, opened a bottle of private champagne, and poured the wine for him with a goblet under Ke Wei's surprised eyes.

"Happy 18th birthday to my Bishop of Tans, you are finally of drinking age."

Ke Wei breathed a sigh of relief and clinked glasses with the Pope to thank him.

He thought that was what the pope meant by turning over this article, and the pope didn't have much doubt about his proposal to join the army.

But he was too optimistic after all.

After Ke Wei's wine glass was emptied, the Pope took out a small glass bottle from a hidden compartment in the wine cellar.

The pope poured the wine for Ke Wei again. In front of him, he removed the stopper of the glass bottle and poured the gray liquid inside into Ke Wei's wine glass.

The gray liquid mixed into the clear wine, and disappeared after a while. This glass of brightly colored champagne only looked a little darker than before.

The Pope said to him: "Bishop Tans, please."

Ke Wei looked at the Pope, and finally realized that the Pope had already doubted him before he made a sound.

No matter what the gray liquid was and what effect it would have on his body, this was an insurance policy added by the Pope.

It is also a test for Ke Wei.

After he drank the glass of wine, the pope would also have an additional means of containment to ensure that Ke Wei's loyalty would not be shaken.

Ke Wei looked at it for a while, grabbed the cup, and drank it down.

The Pope watched him drink up the champagne in his glass, and finally smiled: "Good boy, go well. May the God of Creation protect his faithful believers in heaven and return safely as soon as possible."

The Pope did not send it out, and Ke Wei walked out alone.

It was snowing again outside, and a thin layer of snow accumulated on the promenade of the temple.

Ke Wei recalled how he looked forward to coming to the majestic Central Vatican when he was a child. He regarded the Pope as his adoptive father, and every time he met the Pope, he was so happy and joyful.

For a moment, it seemed like a lifetime away.

The Pope finally did it himself, destroying Ke Wei's last trace of tenderness towards him.

He didn't want to stay in the Holy See any longer, so he walked out quickly.

The calendar has finally turned over the page of the millennium and entered the brand new 6001 year of the cosmic calendar.

Winter is coming to spring, and on the eve of the end of the spring semester of the Imperial Higher Military Academy, Ke Wei and Lan successfully graduated ahead of schedule.

The moment Ke Wei graduated, he was automatically qualified to join the army. He immediately applied to join the army, and he and Lan were incorporated into the Second Army as a matter of course.

Ke Wei didn't even have time to attend the graduation ceremony. On that day, he was busy accepting the new armaments that had been quietly transported from Abino, secretly transporting them onto the warships of the Second Army Corps, and preparing to take them to the front line quietly.

Lan is not yet qualified to know the existence of Abino, he attended the graduation ceremony of the Imperial Higher Military Academy.Yue Laisi and Ke Wei couldn't be there in person, so they sent gifts one after another to express their congratulations.

The Holy See upstart Christine and her good friend Mansha came in disguise and cheered for him in the audience.

Standing on the awarding platform, Lan saw the two girls, and saluted them as a gentleman from a distance. His sunny and handsome appearance and chic salute even drew whistles and applause from other people in the audience.

Mansha recorded this scene with a smile, and said to Christine next to her, "Lan is quite cute, his character is different from the two His Majesties."

Christine smiled and said, "I've only met His Majesty Mo Bai. At that time, I was too young to have any impression of that Majesty... Do you remember what kind of person he is?"

Mansha said softly: "He doesn't like to laugh like Lan, he is serious and serious, but he is very tolerant and affectionate... But he is a hero, just like his father. We who survived , I have never forgotten him for a second in my heart."

Christine sighed: "I also grew up listening to his legend... It's just that I've been thinking about it recently, I don't know how His Majesty will deal with Ke Wei."

At this time, Ke Wei in the capital star was counting the armaments that were smuggled onto the warships of the Second Army, but Yue Lai rushed over and brought a bad news: "Regg doesn't know where to know The news actually came."

Ke Wei turned off the light screen of the items on the list, and looked very calm: "I'll meet him."

Reg is a member of the T Party, and it is no secret that he conspired to assassinate Zhong Yue.But when he saw Ke Wei, he was still shocked and said, "You—are you not from the Holy See? Why are you here?"

Ke Wei met with the T-party through the channel of the Holy See a few months ago.His dual identities made people in the T Party completely misunderstand that the Pope was standing behind Zhong Yue. Under pressure, the Third Legion at that time had to temporarily bow down to Zhong Yue.

"Why?" Ke Wei smiled, and said nonsense, "Why did you come, and why did I come. This is what the Pope meant. What can you do?"

Reg believed it was true, hesitated a few words, and then said goodbye.

Yue Lai, who heard the conversation next to him, looked at Ke Wei with a complicated expression.

Ke Wei asked: "Will the Second Army be led by Reg for this expedition?"

"Correct."

Ke Wei didn't take it seriously: "Okay, I know, then I'll be kinder."

Yue Lais didn't follow his train of thought: "What?"

"I've already thought about his end." When Ke Wei said this, it seemed that he was saying something ordinary: "I will give him a face this time, and let him die in the line of duty. "

"..."

Ke Wei said softly: "Don't worry, no one can hurt Zhong Yue, not even myself."

Yue Laisi was finally moved.

Ke Wei said flatly: "It's really not easy for Zhong Yue and I to get to where we are today. You may think it's incredible, but we've actually known each other for a long time."

"Yue Lai, I treat you as a friend, and I have something to ask you."

Yue Laisi said solemnly: "You say."

"My will is in the safe of Capital Star Empire Bank. If I have any accidents, you can tell Zhong Yue that I leave all the things in it to him. He should know the password..."

Ke Wei noticed Yue Laisi's expression, and comforted him: "What is your expression? Don't think too much, I have no other intentions, just prepare in advance, just in case."

Yue Lais said in horror: "How old are you? You have already written your will... In the past few months, you have had a physical examination twice, and General Zhong personally asked for your examination results to see. Is there no problem?"

Ke Wei was startled, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I haven't surpassed you... Since you already know about my physical examination, you should also know that there is nothing wrong with my examination results, right?"

Yue Lais nodded and stopped pursuing it, but still felt that Ke Wei was hiding something from them.

Ke Wei looked at the brand-new warships of the Second Corps stretching across the parking lot, and said softly, "We are about to set off."

Yue Lais joked: "General Zhong can't wait any longer, he thinks you can't even think about it, so hurry up and go there." @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

That night, the military headquarters announced the news that the Second Legion was about to go to the front line. The Galactic Empire cheered and the morale was high.

Mo Bai, who was far away in the wild star, also saw this news in the news.

Mo Bai said softly: "They are about to leave."

He looked down at his personal terminal.

In his information bar, the date of Lan's last message to him was the day Lan chased him on the ground a year ago, but he left without looking back.

Now that nearly a year has passed, Lan finally stopped harassing him seven or eight times a day on a regular basis.

And today, Lan graduated.

Christine sent the video of his graduation ceremony to Mobai, and Mobai watched it over and over again, still reluctant to let it go.

Until he heard the cry of a baby beside him.

Mo Bai hugged the baby in the crib next to him, took him with him, looked at the heroic Lan on the light screen, and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, you should laugh for him."

The little baby was in Mo Bai's arms for a moment, and then he stopped crying. He looked at Mo Bai's face, and grabbed his long hair scattered around his face.

Mo Bai let him hold him, turned off all the light sources in the room, and put the baby on the bed.

"Go to sleep." Mo Bai said softly: "Tomorrow is a new day, hurry up... grow up."
