Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

A clear blue sky spread before his eyes. The sky was cloudless, and the warm sun was shining all over the playground.It was a crisp morning that seemed to guarantee sunny weather all day today. Nearly 500 trainees were arranged in an orderly and equidistant manner on the playground.Everyone showed nervous expressions in unison, listening to the speech of the principal standing on the command platform. Thirty minutes have passed since the graduation ceremony of this training regiment began.The headmaster continued to talk about the hardships of his active service, but most of them were bragging and used to show off how talented he was.To sum it up simply, it is just emphasizing the key point of "I was able to join the Gendarmerie because of my outstanding ability".This can be called the last training course to test whether the trainees have endurance.Of course, Qiu Keluo and the others didn't listen carefully to what he was talking about.

"—To the elites who officially graduated from the training regiment today, the government has prepared three paths for you. They are the investigation regiment, the garrison regiment, and the gendarmerie regiment." The headmaster continued in a clear voice: "Of course, only the top ten gifted students announced just now are eligible to apply for membership in the Gendarmerie." In other words, with this selection mechanism, except for the trainees who have performed particularly well, ordinary recruits cannot become military police.For others to apply to become a military policeman, they must have some level of performance as a soldier.Helfer was able to join the Gendarmerie Corps precisely because he was appraised for his achievements in successive expeditions as the leader of the investigative army and the conquest of giants.

"Is my grade also in the top ten?" Jukeluo asked Cardinal who was standing on his right in a low voice. "Well, the members of our class are all in the top ten. It may be because the three-dimensional mobile device left too strong an impression." "Gendarmerie..." "Hey, are you interested? Since I can be assigned to work in the Mainland and have considerable authority, I can live my life proudly." One only has to watch the principal's performance to understand this.However, there are also loyal gendarmes serving the country like Helfey, so frankly speaking, it is just a matter of personality.Unfortunately, however, a certain problematic character also scored good enough to squeeze into the top ten ranks.

"Shabby is also ranked within ten..." "In fact, his performance was really good." The person who responded to Qiu Keluo's self-talk was Rosa who was on the left of him. "Let's just pray that the country doesn't go astray because of this." Although Qiu Keluo replied "That's right", in fact, even if Xia Pi became a military policeman, it would not bring about any change.Qiu Keluo, who had confronted Shabby head-on, intuitively understood this matter.If Qiu Keluo had felt that Xia Pie would pose such a threat, then he should have acted first when life and death were at stake.And since there is no need to kill him, it means that in Qiu Keluo's eyes, Xiabi has become an object that cannot cause any influence at all.

Just as Qiu Keluo and others were busy chatting, the principal's speech finally came to an end. "The disbanding ceremony of the training regiment has come to an end, and the recruiting ceremony will continue next." I saw Carlo stepping on the majestic pace, replacing the principal who had just continued to deliver a self-proclaimed glorious history called "Speech" and stood on the command platform. "My name is Carlo Bickle, and I am currently serving as the captain of the Investigation Corps." As soon as Carlo said this, the recruits in the audience immediately began to discuss.The team leader of the investigation army took advantage of the recruiting ceremony to board the command platform, so he could naturally imagine what Carlo was going to say next.

"As all recruits know, the recently reorganized investigation corps continues to face a shortage of talents. Later, the school will ask you which corps you plan to join, and I sincerely hope that you will take the option of the investigation corps to heart." Carlo said in an enthusiastic tone. What Carlo said just now was the reason why he devoted all his energy to recruiting recruits.The most troublesome thing is probably the quality of soldiers.Although I don't know how powerful the investigation corps was in the past, the current investigation corps is bound to be far from Carlo's ideal.Qiu Keluo, who had smuggled away and participated in the expedition, was quite aware of this matter.

In addition, because the Survey Corps had to carry out the special task of expedition, the death rate was overwhelmingly higher than that of the other two major legions.The chance of recruits participating in the expedition to survive safely is only about 70%.Although the probability will change drastically depending on the content of the expedition and whether you encounter giants on the way, compared with the duties in the mainland, it is simply an extremely severe challenge.That is not a job unit that one can apply to join lightly, and even with a firm goal in mind, it is very likely to ruin one's life easily.The Survey Corps is such a dangerous unit.

Of course, very few people applied to join.Because no one wants to die.The reason why captain Carlo personally stood on the command platform to recruit recruits was to help those volunteers who dare not take the last step to make up their minds. "I plan to let the new recruits who join this class participate in the expedition that will be held in a month. As long as they know the true appearance of the world, it should be easier to understand the existence of the Survey Corps." The recruits once again made a burst of discussion. "I can't guarantee that everyone will come back alive. Under the premise of agreeing with this point, those who are still willing to risk their lives to challenge the world outside the wall, please stay where they are. Those who want to apply to join other legions will be disbanded on the spot. The report is over."

As soon as Carlo finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into complete silence. But that only lasted for a short moment.When a recruit walked away in a hurry, the recruits at the scene took this as an opportunity to mobilize.The recruits left the playground one after another like an avalanche. "It's not surprising at all. After all, they didn't have a reason to deliberately choose a dangerous path." Cardina blurted out his thoughts while looking at the recruits fleeing the playground as if they were oiling their feet. "Is everyone okay? It's been a long time since I got the right to apply for the military police."

Rosa asked aloud. "I came to the training school to train in order to kill the 'ogre' giant." "I've already decided to accompany him to the end... But if he says he wants to join the Gendarmerie anyway, then I'll be more than happy to cooperate." "I'm not interested in anything other than investigating the Legion." "I suppose so." Cardinal lowered his shields rather dejectedly. As they gossiped, the number of recruits dwindled.In the end, there were only about twenty recruits left on the playground.This number seems to be more or less, although it varies from person to person, but Carlos showed a very satisfied expression.

"You are very brave, and I admire you all—" Carlo said to everyone who stayed in place in a calm tone: "Then, I would like to welcome everyone here to become the new blood of the Investigation Corps. The report is over!" The recruiting ceremony officially came to an end with this declaration. "Have I joined the Survey Corps?" "It's justified." Rosa replied. "It's enough. I actually gave up my military police status and joined the investigation army. If Dad knew about it, he would probably be surprised." Cardinal, who wished to live a leisurely life, muttered reluctantly. "You should almost give up." "How about accepting your fate obediently?" Qiu Keluo and Rosa spoke one after another with dumbfounded faces. "You're not the only ones who refused to be disqualified from the gendarmerie." The person who said this was Helfer. "It seems that he also gave up his military police status and joined the Survey Corps." Helfey shifted his gaze while speaking. Qiu Keluo, who was drawn and turned to look aside, suddenly had a stunned and astonished expression on his face. "Shabby..." I saw Xia Pi, who had clearly obtained the qualification to apply for the military police, standing among the recruits stranded on the playground.His expression was extraordinarily serious, his burly body was trembling slightly, his face was lifeless, and his whole body exuded a dangerous atmosphere as if he was about to faint.It can be seen that applying to join the investigation army is obviously not Xia Pi's original intention. "Didn't that guy say he wanted to be a military policeman..." "I thought so too, but he might have other ideas." It's just that everyone couldn't guess what wishful thinking he was planning. "That's out of the way. Let's talk about your future." Helfey turned to his group of lovers. "As Carlo said just now, you must participate in the expedition in a month. Of course, you must be equipped with three-dimensional mobile devices." "Are you going to kill the giant?" Facing Qiu Keluo's inquiry, Hellfe's answer was "depending on the situation". "Although you have accumulated a considerable amount of training, you have almost no actual combat experience at all. It may be quite difficult for you to suddenly fight against giants." The reason why Helfey didn't say anything to death was because Qiu Keluo and Cardinal had actual combat experience.Although it was just being chased by giants outside the wall, it must have been a very valuable experience. "Then what should we do?" "Just join the expedition first." "It means we need to get used to expeditions first, right?" A comprehending expression appeared on Rosa's face. "Your first task is to come back alive no matter what. Do you understand?" Qiu Keluo and others nodded in response to Helfey's words. "The next time I see you, it will be a month later. I will wait for you at the top of the 'Wall of Mary'." After finishing speaking, Helfey turned around and left the scene without even saying goodbye. "Does it mean that we will meet again in Higanshina District alive?" "I guess so." "Then let's do our best to survive." Cardina and Rosa continued to chat non-stop, but what Qiukeluo cared about was not whether he could survive safely.His eyes fixed on Xiabi who was standing in the corner of the playground. (Why did he choose to join the Survey Corps?) Sharpie hungers for power more than anyone else.Qiu Keluo is still unbelievable about his application to join the investigation army, and can only believe that there must be some kind of conspiracy behind it. (But... what kind of attempt is it?) There is only one way to be sure. Qiu Keluo took the initiative to approach Xia Pi who was standing still in a daze. "Why did you apply to join the Survey Corps?" Juke Luo asked a question. "It's not all your fault..." Shabby who answered in this way, his voice and body trembled slightly. "I'm going to be a gendarme. I'm going to take power and surpass my stinking father!" "Then why don't you just apply to become a gendarmerie?" "How can I be reduced to your defeat! I will wait until I get revenge before becoming a military policeman!!" Sharpy cursed, then stared at Jukeluo furiously.This strange atmosphere that seemed to be ready for a big fight prompted Qiu Keluo to put on a fighting posture naturally, but the opponent didn't punch him, but turned around and strode away from the scene abruptly. "Maybe he's a very attractive man." Cady smiled wryly and approached slowly. "Is it true that the nature is not bad, or has it changed because of the fiasco?" Rosa turned her head slightly in disbelief. Perhaps Xia Pie's state of mind has indeed changed.But logically speaking, this change should not have any impact on Qiu Keluo. Qiu Keluo looked away, no longer staring at Xia Pi's receding figure, but looking up at the sky. The sky is clear and the sky is perfect for thinking about what to do in the future. It's just that no matter how much you think about it, you can't come up with any good ideas, and it's always someone else's task to use your brains. "I really want to fly to the sky..." Qiu Keluo muttered in obedience to his inner desire.
It was clearly still broad daylight, but the tavern was extremely lively. The restaurant, which can accommodate nearly a hundred guests, is already full of guests. It is filled with the smell of alcohol, smoke, and various other cooking aromas, and even complements the heat released by the guests to form a pungent smell.Most of the visitors were people related to the legion, among which the soldiers of the investigation legion accounted for more than half.They are all here to drink a glass of wine to boost morale. Their conversation revolved around the upcoming expedition to start tomorrow.For example, you have encountered a giant in a certain place before, so you should change your route this time, or this class of recruits is quite interesting, etc. All kinds of topics come and go.But the hottest topic is the three-dimensional mobile device.The kind of movement that completely ignores common sense and is able to soar back and forth in mid-air freely, even the strong who have experienced many battles have to look at it with admiration.However, because they have absolute confidence in their strong bodies that have undergone thousands of hammers and chains, there are also many people who have doubts about the performance of the three-dimensional mobile device. "In short, we just want to see our abilities first, right?" Cadina, who was eavesdropping on the chats of other guests, was the first to open the conversation. "Basically, I don't know if the three-dimensional mobile device has a chance to come in handy." Rosa, who was sitting next to Cardina, shrugged her shoulders, and then reached out to grab the cup on the table.The glass is filled with amber fruit wine. "As long as everyone can return safely, I will be satisfied." The person sitting directly opposite across the table is Xia Lulu in overalls.Because today was the eve of the expedition, she asked for leave and came to investigate the legion's station—the Higanshina District to meet them. "Helfe said our first mission was to come back alive." Qiu Keluo, who was sitting next to Xia Lulu, muttered while chewing the food that filled his mouth: "Because it is indeed too difficult to suddenly enter the actual combat, so we have to adapt to that environment first." "But I can't imagine myself getting used to the world outside the wall." Perhaps recalling the scene outside the wall, Rosa trembled slightly. Xia Lulu is the same as her. "I don't think there is a need to get used to it. Being able to maintain a moderate amount of tension and have the idea of ​​'absolutely want to come back alive' can actually deliver good results, right?" "That means it's better than getting used to it and being careless, right?" A knowing expression appeared on Cardinal's face. "Ah, that's right, Mr. Senofon asked me to bring you a message. He said that if you have the opportunity to fight the giants, please remember to tell him your impressions of using the three-dimensional mobile device afterwards." "Isn't it enough to go out with us? I believe he will be able to come back alive." "I heard that there seemed to be an opportunity to accompany him before, but he declined because of fear." "It's a good thing that he still has a way to develop a three-dimensional mobile device." "That's because Uncle Anhaier took the "Device" to participate in the expedition later." After Rosa added an explanation, everyone immediately nodded while saying "I see." "Again, the clothes have a new and different coat of arms." Xia Lulu pointed at Qiu Keluo's chest and said. Qiu Keluo and others are now wearing a set of newly issued military uniforms.It can be clearly seen that the chest is embroidered with the winged coat of arms representing the Survey Corps. "Thanks to this coat of arms, we should have a chance to become famous people in the city." Cardinal couldn't help showing a wry smile. In fact, the soldiers of the Survey Corps are indeed the objects of attention of the urban residents.Because for them, the investigative corps who are willing to take risks to challenge the world outside the wall for the sake of human beings can be said to be almost heroic. "Actually, we're just a group of rookies who haven't participated in expeditions yet." "It means that if we wear brand-new military uniforms, it means that we can't stand on our own?" "However, I heard that the soldiers of the Survey Corps also attach great importance to appearance, don't they?" "After all, you bear the expectations of the residents. If you wear a crumpled military uniform, it will only embarrass the soldiers, right?" "But I always feel that the action is not very clever." After Qiu Keluo blurted out his dissatisfaction, he tried to turn his shoulders.Although the movement will not be affected, the brand new military uniforms just issued will still feel uncomfortable to wear. "Do you want to exercise your muscles and bones later? I believe you should get used to it soon." "Let's do it like this." "Hey, hey, the expedition is going to start tomorrow? Don't you think it's time to recharge your batteries today?" Cardina immediately expressed dissatisfaction, unexpectedly, Qiu Keluo's body was already about to move. "That's enough. No matter what kind of training freak, there should be a limit..." Cardi put his hand on his forehead and couldn't help but groan.
Obviously, it should come to an end with just a little sweat, but I didn't expect to find that it had turned into a training like actual combat.It can only be said that it is no wonder that Qiu Keluo was described by Cardinal as a training freak, but for some reason, even Cardinal himself became sweaty.As a result, to put it bluntly, this means that Cardina is actually the same.Xia Lulu, who was forced to accompany her, must have felt very troubled. It's just that thanks to the full exercise of the muscles and bones, the brand-new military uniform has completely fitted Qiu Keluo's body, and the discomfort has completely disappeared.In this way, even if you go to the world outside the wall, you should be able to concentrate on facing the challenges of the expedition. "Enough is enough, aren't we too involved?" Cardinal scratched her hair lightly, and looked around in a blink of an eye. Because she was too concentrated and didn't notice the changes around her at all, it was already dusk when the sun was setting.It seemed that they had devoted themselves to training for nearly two or three hours.Just watch the dark red sunlight swaying down through the gaps in the leaves, and you can naturally understand the passage of time. The training place for Qiu Keluo and others is located in a forest that can be reached by a short walk from the Higanshina District, and it is also the place where they usually use three-dimensional mobile device training. "Then Rosa and I will leave first." "You two can go for a stroll and come back, okay?" Cardina and Rosa said half-jokingly, and then walked away from the scene without waiting for Jukeluo and the others to respond. "Walk around...in this forest?" Facing Qiu Keluo who blurted out his doubts, Xia Lulu only responded with a wry smile. "Now might be a good time." Qiu Keluo turned his eyes to the top of his head, and across the gap between the trees, he confirmed a fiery red sky. Jukeluo pulled out the right control device stored in the holster, and looked up at a nearby cedar tree.This tree is about thirty meters high.Jukero fixed his eyes on a certain branch of the tree, and then fired the hook anchor into it. "what do you want to do?" With his left hand, he hugged Xia Lulu, who was puzzled, and used a three-dimensional mobile device instead of a lift to pull his body up to the top of the tree, and then landed on a certain branch. "That's the feeling of the world that Qiu Keluo saw, right?" Although Xia Lulu was taken aback, she still enjoyed the beautiful scenery seen from the treetops. "Because of being restricted in the past, you can spread your wings like this and fly freely, right?" "And without chains." The previously annoying illusion of chains has also disappeared unconsciously.Probably nothing can bind Jukeluo anymore. (But one last question remains.) It was the bad relationship between him and the "ogre" giant.Although it is not true freedom if he does not cut off this evil relationship, the three-dimensional mobile device should be able to help him realize his wish. "Tomorrow is finally here." "Ok." "After everything is over, what are your plans, Qiu Keluo?" "All you mean is...?" "It's what you want to do next after defeating the 'ogre' giant." "This..." In order to defeat the giant, Qiu Keluo went to the training school and learned how to use the three-dimensional mobile device, but he didn't think about his future at all. "I'll think about it when I get back." "For this reason, you must return safely. You must abide by the agreement." "I know that." "very good." Xia Lulu nodded contentedly, but a gloomy look suddenly flashed across her face. "I heard that my brother seems to have joined the investigation team..." "He gave up the chance to become a military policeman. Because he said he didn't like being my subordinate all the time." "That's it..." "Are you worried about him?" "After all, we are brother and sister." Xia Lulu admitted honestly. "Although he is an annoying guy, he is quite powerful. He won't die so easily." "I think so too..." But maybe it was impossible to completely eliminate the anxiety in her heart, Xia Lulu still had a sullen expression on her face. "Do not worry." "what?" "In case of any accident, I will save his life." The former Qiu Keluo would never say such things, but now he has such a calm demeanor. (He would have lost his temper if Sharpie heard about it.) I'm afraid he'll show all the ferocity of a rage and fly into a rage and say something like "I don't even bother to take your help!" "Thank you." Xia Lulu smiled sweetly at him. "Overall, I will pray that everyone returns safely." "Ok." Qiu Keluo nodded, and turned to look at the urban area that was gradually shrouded in the night.
