Little Boss of the Admiral's Mansion

Bai Yan stared at the e-mail in his hand for a while, and was about to throw it away as if he hadn't seen it, when the little robot below opened his mouth and spit out a sentence, which sounded just like Juster's voice.

Bai Yan held the crystal card in his hand expressionlessly and listened to Juster's proud voice, then curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and finally changed his clothes reluctantly and planned to go out.

When she got to the door, Bai Yan stopped, then looked at the sparse students at the door, she tooted, where did Canaan go...

"521, let's go." Bai Yan yelled towards the door, and 521 ran out suddenly, wearing a small black bow tie around his neck, which looked extremely cute.

Bai Yan didn't know how he should carry such a 521, so he tilted his head and looked at 521 to see whether he should hold it or carry it later.

521 whimpered and twisted his waist, then wrapped his tail around Bai Yan's leg in embarrassment. Under Bai Yan's surprised eyes, his body shrank to the size of Bai Yan's palm.

With a smile, Bai Yan dragged 521 up with one hand, and put it on her shoulder.

521's neck rested lightly on Bai Yan's neck, and both hands tightly grasped his clothes. After a while, as if feeling a little uncomfortable, it jumped up twice, and jumped directly onto the ground. On Baiyan's head, two small human-like paws gently grabbed Baiyan's hair, and the whole person lay on it, feeling very comfortable.

There was something on Bai Yan's head, but it didn't seem to affect it at all.

Bai Yan thought for a while and said: "521, you send a message to Canaan, saying that Master Just is looking for me."

521 posted obediently, and then squinted his eyes on Bai Yan's head, so comfortable that he almost wanted to spit bubbles.

Because there was no Canaan to follow, Bai Yan could only take the nearest shared aircraft to the military area. On the aircraft, his clothes were surrounded by everyone making a fuss all the way.

—and the 521 on his head.

521 seemed quite used to being surrounded by people like this, but what was strange was that it kept a very calm face along the way, with its two round and black eyes closed all the time, as if it was asleep.

Bai Yan is not a person who pays attention to what other people are like, therefore, he was watching the news given to him by Juster along the way, so it passed quickly.

As for the problem that 521 was worried about from the beginning that Bai Yan would faint from the aircraft, it seemed that it never happened.

521 When Bai Yan was first checked, Bai Yan's body was at the bottom of the world, even a saury in the forest could cut Bai Yan to pieces at will, but now Bai Yan's body level Except for B's physique checked out at the First Mecha Academy, it seems that he has been making faint breakthroughs.

For this, 521 is very happy.

In order to protect Baiyan, it forcibly used its last energy source to cut the passages of two different galaxies, and brought Baiyan, who had been confirmed dead in the star track of the original world, to this new world. First, to protect Baiyan, But on the other hand, it is also worried that Bai Yan will not adapt to this world, and will die slowly in the end.

But fortunately, everything now is developing as expected.

521 carefully turned over Bai Yan's head and fell asleep on his side, opened his eyes slightly and watched Bai Yan walk to the gate of the military area.

The people outside the door checked Bai Yan's uniform and terminal before saying to him, "Your Excellency Bai Yan, this smart pet is not allowed to be brought into the barracks."

Bai Yan stared at him with wide eyes, as if she was complaining about why.

The soldier was under a lot of pressure from his stare, so he bit the bullet and looked at him expressionlessly.

Bai Yan tilted her head, like a porcelain doll with no expression, then reached out and pulled the 521 off her head, and said, "Oh. Here you are."

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief, and took the 521 in Bai Yan's hand with both hands.

521 lay comfortably on Baiyan's head, but was suddenly pulled off by Baiyan, so it was not happy.

The result of 521's displeasure was that the steel teeth of his open mouth creaked and bit the soldier's finger.

Bai Yan shook her paw, then looked sympathetically at the soldier brother who was trembling, and said sympathetically, "My pet has a bad temper. If you treat him well, he will bite you. If you treat him badly, he will bite you." ..."

Bai Yan couldn't make it up anymore.

The soldier brother stared blankly at 521 who was still nibbling on his finger, closed his eyes as if eating a lollipop, fell silent for a moment, and said, "The smart pet has passed the security inspection and is allowed to enter."

So 521 was very content and cheerful.

The two janitors looked at Bai Yan bouncing towards Juster's research room stiffly, and suddenly felt that they were tricked by a smart mecha just now?

Bai Yan walked happily and unimpededly to Juster's research room, and was pulled in by Juster's bright eyes as soon as he entered.

Bai Yan was a bit confused, so it was a bit strange to be held by Juster's skinny hand.

He seems to have never been encountered by people outside of Canaan, right?

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be true.

Just took him to a small room, took out a box as if he was looking for some treasure, then stroked it lightly and said: "Today is the time for basic maintenance of the mecha waiting, you boy It was lucky."

The mecha guard is the special mecha of Marshal Caesar, the number one mecha in the empire and Phoenix.

No, it should be said that it is the number one mecha on the entire planet.

He has just been accepted as an apprentice by Juster. Although it is rumored that he is a direct disciple, he was able to get in touch with the mecha in such a short period of time. This mecha is regarded as a treasure by the whole empire. To be honest, even 521 was unexpected.

521 was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He tiptoed to dance ballet on Baiyan's shoulder, and said nervously: "Wait, wait! I can finally see its true self today, I don't know if it has I am mighty and domineering!"

Bai Yan has never seen the prototype of 521's mech until now, and she has no way of guessing.

Although 521 always likes to say some strange things, he has the highest credibility when it comes to mechas. Therefore, he never doubted that 521 said that he might be the highest-level mecha in the entire galaxy, but, speaking of it... ...Bai Yan felt that he had the right to remain silent about the sentence about the invincible number one handsome in the universe.

This time besides Juster, there was another person that Bai Yan never thought of.

Ives.

This gentle senior who smiles all over his face as soon as he sees him, is named by 521 as the catalyst for summer.

When not in a hurry, Bai Yan actually doesn't hate him.

Moreover, it seemed that Ives had done a lot of work under Just's hands, but he didn't complain at all.

"521, Ives is so powerful, why don't you accept him as an apprentice?" Bai Yan followed Just behind his back with his hands behind his back, while responding to Ivey who was always talking beside him from time to time. s.

521 raised his eyes to look at Ives, then bent down on Bai Yan's head in a lackluster manner, and said, "His talent is very high in the empire, but he is too scheming. "

521 is a bit tongue-in-cheek.

"Oh." Bai Yan nodded, not understanding what 521 meant, that he was careless... But it seems that old people like such people who don't have so many thoughts, so even if Bai Yan knew it, he might not don't care that much.

The place where the mechs are waiting is in the center of the military area. Countless people pass by here every day, but no one has ever been able to go around and have a look inside.

Under the leadership of Juster, Bai Yan and Ives slowly stepped into the place that was like a dream for all soldiers under the envious eyes of countless officers who were training.

In fact, according to 521, when Marshal Caesar was not missing, for the future of the empire, when he asked for the consent of the mecha guards, he allowed more than three masters of the empire to visit the inner space of the guards. , including Just.

"Juster looks disrespectful and has a cunning personality, but in terms of his loyalty to the empire and the mecha guards and his enthusiasm for research, he is very rare in the empire." 521 looked at The old man in front of him walked with a hunched waist, recalling that when he first saw him in area f, he was once forcibly suppressed by the mental pressure he inadvertently emanated because of his perfect development.

Bai Yan nodded silently, and then slowly stepped into the huge iron gate.

"According to the imperial calendar at that time, federal scientific researchers inhumanely used mecha fighters and manufacturers to conduct human experiments. Only a small number of scientific lunatics were willing to accept it—a very small number of them were extremely fanatical. At that time, Juster was the leader. One stood up to oppose it." 521 said, in this regard, although he did not deny that the living experiment at that time did indeed create a stock solution that could improve the performance of the mecha in a short period of time, but the price was too high up.

At that time, the Federation had no internal and external troubles, so there was no need to be so eager for results. It can be said that the current confrontation between the Empire and the Federation was catalyzed by the Academy of Sciences, which still exists in the Federation.

After a while, they almost reached the place where the mechs were waiting to be placed.

People who see the waiting for the first time will inevitably be shocked by its appearance that can almost sweep away everything, and can't speak for a long time.

Even if Juster, who already had the highest calendar qualifications in the empire, came to do the most basic inspection for the mech guard, there were still dozens of soldiers with guns standing around.

Bai Yan watched Just put down the box that he had been holding as a treasure all the way, then stretched out a pair of skinny hands, tremblingly touched the toes of the waiting toes—he was too low to reach .

"Old buddy, we meet again." Just sighed, then opened the box, and said to Bai Yan and Ives, "You two, go and get the cleaner over there."

In every basic inspection, in addition to applauding the waiting inspection, there is another point, which is to give it a basic cleaning.

Bai Yan obediently picked up a large water hose in the corner, just thinking that someone who loves mechs like Juster, wouldn't be so rude to directly flush it with the hose, right?

Then, under Bai Yan's calm and Ives's unbelievable eyes, three soldiers moved over a basin with a diameter of about five meters—and two white towels that looked very small on it.

Bai Yan fell silent.

"521." Bai Yan picked up the towel that was about the size of his palm, and said, "Do you know how long the fastest cleaning record was when the mecha waited for it before?"

521 was silent for a long time before he said: "If Jester exhausts all his mental power to wait for the mech to check, the fastest time is three days."

Three days without eating, drinking or sleeping.

Bai Yan looked pitifully at the waiter with dull eyes, and didn't see any reaction from it for a long time, so she took the cloth in her hand and began to wipe the toes of the waiter in despondency.

For this, 521 is actually dissatisfied.

In its heart, the mecha that is enough for Bai Yan to scrub so hard should always be the only one for him.

Although in its heart, General Caesar is a figure at the level of a male god, but——for cleaning this kind of thing that should be considered intimate, how can it let Bai Yan give it to another mech for the first time?

"Mentor, do we only clean the waiting shell?" Ives straightened his waist, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just closed his eyes and used his mental strength to check and applaud the waiting arm. When he heard this, he opened his eyes, and the sky blue tentacles were still shaking up and down, "The knowledge about mecha waiting, your mentor Didn't I tell you!"

Ives paused, then lowered his head in shame and continued to scrub.

Bai Yan looked at Ives's back and whispered, "521, what's the matter with waiting?"

Interface 521 hurriedly said to Bai Yan: "Since the disappearance of Marshal Caesar last time, the Mecha Guard has taken His Majesty Sonot out of the battlefield, and suffered some damage from the enemy's artillery bombardment. In addition, the particle storm on the edge of the desert, Therefore, the waiting 3s metal mecha casing is almost unusable."

Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the shiny shells on the outside of the guard, "That was polished by the empire in ten years for the guard! There are very few metals in this galaxy that can be used to make the shell of the 3S mecha Pitiful!"

Bai Yan nodded, and then listened to 521 continue to say: "Later, the mecha shut down while waiting, and it has never been restarted since then. Even His Majesty the Emperor woke up and stayed here for three days and three nights."

"Oh, that's how it is.

Bai Yan looked up at Shouwai's cold shell, then lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking: "Has Canaan ever visited Shouhou?"

"According to the information: no." 521 said very dutifully.

But in this way, even if there is any damage to the built-in warehouse waiting for the mecha, there is no way to check it at all?

Bai Yan squatted on the ground in a daze for a while, then looked at Juster who was still checking the waiter, and lightly touched the waiter's toes with her hand.

no response.

Bai Yan tilted her head boredly, and just happened to see the reflection on the shell of the spot that he had polished to shine just now.

A soldier's muzzle has turned from the outside to the inside at some point, and his finger has slowly pressed the button.

And the person pointed at the gun was Just who was doing the inspection wholeheartedly at this time.

Bai Yan didn't have time to react, she just subconsciously opened her mouth and shouted: "521——!"

521 followed Bai Yan's gaze, and a pair of black eyes suddenly emitted a metallic golden light. At that moment, the startled soldier shook his hand and fired.

The soldier's reaction was quick, and he planned to flee here immediately after the unsuccessful shooting, but his speed simply couldn't leave the parking place with the closed gate.

After Bai Yan heard the gunshot, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Juster, but Juster was still standing there, just as if he had been awakened suddenly, with a stinky expression on his face.

Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at a metal bullet in the middle that was blocked by 521, and then looked over there, the soldier who fired the shot was subdued by several soldiers around him.

Frowning, Just walked up to the soldier who fired the gun, and said, "Take him down for a military trial."

The four soldiers pressed the man and walked out in an orderly manner, and then the door slowly closed again. Just looked at Bai Yan who was still standing there obediently and expressionlessly, paused, and then said: " You come here and try to use the spirit key to synchronize the connection with the self-awareness that is waiting."

The reason why Bai Yan's roar just now made him stop - after the spirit bolt was forcibly pulled back within, is because in that short moment, Bai Yan's spirit hub had surpassed him.

Just couldn't believe it, but the truth was in front of him.

Ives seemed to have just realized what happened, and hurriedly walked to Juster's side and asked if he was injured. Juster didn't have the heart to talk to him now, and Ives suddenly got in the way here, so he said: "You go back today first."

Ives was taken aback, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He glanced at Bai Yan's innocent expression, and finally suppressed it, and said respectfully to Juster: "Yes."

When he was waiting for the inspection of the mecha, he was dismissed by the instructor halfway, and there was another student present, which made Ives think too much.

Before leaving, he took one last look at Bai Yan who was talking with Juster, and then walked out of the heavy door.

Just said after Ives left: "Now, try to connect."

Bai Yan said blankly: "I won't."

Just resisted the opportunity to swear, and then said: "In my next actions, watch carefully!"

After speaking, he stood back to the position where he was standing just now.

At this time, 521 suddenly said: "Master, I have a new guess."

"?" Bai Yan didn't speak.

521 said word by word: "The reason why the waiter shut down after that time is probably because he has closed himself."

"...Self-enclosed?"

"Yes," 521 said in a low voice, and then sat up straight on top of Bai Yan's head, "The mechas above S-level are all super-intelligent mechas, while the 3s mechas like Shouwai and Phoenix , in terms of behavior, he is almost like a human being."

Therefore, after that battle, Waiting chose to close down on his own.

Bai Yan thought, if his guess is correct now, what 521 means is that the mech guard is now equivalent to an autistic patient who has lost... a partner?

"What can we do?" Bai Yan asked with the corner of her mouth twitching.

521 said: "That battle did a lot of damage to the Mecha Guard, and the interior must have suffered a lot of damage. Juster's current mental level is simply unable to cross the Guard's self-defense field and invade into the Guard's interior—even if he is now It's well-intentioned."

The interior has been damaged for so many years and has not been well maintained. Even if it is repaired perfectly in the later period, except for replacing all parts, it will leave irreparable trauma with the passage of time.

Bai Yan fell silent.

Canaan without Caesar, in his heart, the importance of waiting can be imagined.

Even anyone in the empire or the federation would feel bad if they learned that the guard had an irreparable wound.

"Does Canaan have the right to enter here?" Bai Yan asked.

521 said hesitantly: "Canaan's current military rank is general, but it is impossible to enter here, and the only prerequisite for him to enter here is that His Majesty Sonot personally brought him here."

But in this way, Canaan is bound to become a figure known throughout the empire, and the surname of Hals appended to Canaan will push him to the top of the topic.

What 521 is really worried about is Bai Yan's situation after Canaan's identity is exposed.

Even with the backing of the emperor's father, it is an indisputable fact that Canaan has relied on his own strength step by step, participated in countless battles, large and small, to reach the current position of general. The First Mecha Academy has won the number one record for four consecutive years.

And as the only son of General Caesar, just this honor is enough to make up for all the shortcomings.

And what about Bai Yan?

Now he is just a person who clings to the general, at least, that's how he looks from the outside world.

Even Bai Yan scored first in the entrance examination, reaching the highest score in the history of the First Mecha Academy, even though he is the direct disciple of the empire's number one mecha maker Just.

But all these auras that are enough to show off for a lifetime in the eyes of ordinary people are too insignificant compared to Canaan.

What 521 is worried about is whether Bai Yan can bear it when all these rumors are attacking Bai Yan.

"Oh." Bai Yan must also know the involvement, but he looked at Juster who kept changing places to check, and said to 521: "Then do this."

Canaan and Sonot will feel bad if the waiting fails.

This kind of mood is like if something happens to 521, he will feel that something is missing.

521 was about to praise Bai Yan's spirit of dedication for righteousness, but was interrupted by Juster who suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes were shining brightly.

The old man opened a pair of piercing little eyes, and said to Bai Yan energetically: "Okay, now you show me all the movements I just did."

Bai Yan: "..."

521:"……"

Before facing the matter of becoming a public enemy, the first thing they have to do is to pass the test of Juster first.

In the face of this matter, tell us that during class, we must not desert under the nose of the teacher-especially in one-on-one situations.

It was as if he was trying to die, 521 silently lay back on Bai Yan's head, deciding it was better to keep silent.
