The sun is high - #143 - Chapter 142 Meyer
Snooping into secrets is probably one of human instincts.
The existence of curiosity makes people always have some interest in the trivial conversations of others.
Shuge had previously discovered that since he discovered that he could obtain a large amount of additional information through the use of a large number of special tricks and the power of the messenger in the mirror, he gradually developed a somewhat perverted hobby.
That is eavesdropping on what others are saying.
Especially those words that may be related to yourself.
These medical students are still very young. They have probably not really been in the army or been to the front line, so their understanding of the war itself is relatively limited. Although at this moment, the entire Luowei Plateau has been heavily affected by Surrounded by the atmosphere of war, they still had the mood and interest to discuss the temperament and appearance of a noble young man.
In their eyes, a young member of the Ernst family with a spellcasting background is obviously a very valuable “discussion object.”
Although their evaluation of him was quite favorable, this situation still made Xiuge couldn’t help but shake his head.
Following the signs and slogans on the roadside, he quickly passed through a garden with a large number of sculptures of famous alchemical doctors, and then he showed his ID to several soldiers of the 5th Chasseur Regiment who were guarding here.
Soon, he was taken to a huge classroom, which had been converted into a temporary recruitment office by the Fifth Chasseur Regiment. Before he could walk in, Shuge saw an acquaintance at the door.
Major Alfred Mutch has not changed at all from the last time we met, but perhaps due to environmental factors, he has tidied up his appearance, with a cold military temperament and a rather angular face. His handsome face easily attracts the attention of young students.
Opposite him, stood another man.
Compared to Alfred, his appearance is much more ordinary.
He is about thirty years old, not tall, and is considered very short among adults.
He was not wearing a hat, had very, very short hair, a full forehead, a smile on his face, and calm eyes.
His clothes were equally plain, a simple Walter-style long windbreaker, and he had several books under his arms. Just standing there gave people an unusually calm feeling.
“Major Alfred, long time no see.”
Shuge walked up to the officer and said hello, so the young officer immediately turned his head and his stern face immediately melted. He raised a hand and shook Shuge’s hand twice: “No. How long, I thought you would come two days late.”
After saying that, Alfred took half a step to the side and let the smiling man out: “Just in time, let me introduce to you… This is Frey Meyer from the medical school. professor.”
Hearing this name, Shuge’s thinking paused for a moment, but he immediately reacted and raised his hand to the professor in front of him in a friendly manner: “Suge Ernst.”
A rough and strong hand stretched out and shook Shuge’s hand heavily: “Hello, Mr. Shuge, the major just mentioned you to me… Haha, actually I have heard your name before, no. Come to think of it, you are the writer who has captured the imagination of many people in Bolden.”
Frey Meyer’s voice is thick and powerful, but his words are full of humor. Just two sentences are enough to make people feel good.
Shuge laughed and asked: “Professor, please forgive me for being curious about you… Do you have the habit of submitting articles to newspapers?”
“If you mean ‘Meyer,’ well, that’s me.”
The man grinned: “Although I study medicine, I occasionally publish some articles. It’s just my humble opinion.”
“You are being too modest.”
Shuge shook his head and said sincerely: “I have seen many articles about current affairs and situations in newspapers before, but there are too few people who can use your perspective.”
At this time, Major Alfred, who was standing aside, suddenly interjected: “Okay, okay, if you two want to communicate in this regard, there will be plenty of time in the future… Mr. Sugar, Professor Meyer So he is here because in the next period of time, he will act with the 5th Chasseur Regiment and serve as the chief physician accompanying the army to manage our medical and logistics personnel.”
Hearing these words, Shuge was slightly startled. He looked at Frey Meyer and said: “But I remember that according to the laws and regulations of the kingdom, you should be classified as an important academic personnel. The country is You will not be allowed to go to war.”
“Professor Meyer is the exception.”
Alfred explained: “In terms of nationality, he belongs to St. Steele in the north…For some reasons, he came here to serve as a professor, so our kingdom’s laws are not fully effective for him, and he is on the battlefield. This is Professor Meyer’s own wish.”
The man smiled and added: “I have submitted a formal application. Until the first batch of soldiers are rotated, my identity will be a military physician, not a professor.”
After hearing these words, Shuge seemed to have thought of something. He raised his hand to hold Alfred and asked with a smile: “I probably understand… Mr. Major, in that case, then you can make arrangements. I believe that the protections afforded to members of the Ernst family should be sufficiently extended to professors.”
“pretty!”
Alfred slapped Shuge on the shoulder, with a satisfied smile on his face: “I just like talking to people with smart minds. It’s so comfortable.”
“In that case, should I go through the formalities first?”
“No problem, go ahead… someone has been waiting for you for a long time.”
With that said, Alfred winked at Xiuge and pointed at the door next to him.
So Xiuge immediately took his ID and walked towards the door. Compared with several other recruitment points, this office was much deserted. However, this desertedness was only relative, because in this huge room, there were also people Twenty or thirty Bolden mages who have received the recruitment notice are going through their own procedures. Among them, in the “Voluntary Enlistment” window on the left, several mages who have taken the initiative to join the army are being interviewed and evaluated by members of the Council. .
Xiuge, who had received the notice, naturally did not have to go through that process. He walked directly to the other end and lined up at the back of the line.
In any country, the work scope and responsibilities of military mages are very strict.
Spellcasters who are good at destructive magic often operate with commandos or reconnaissance teams, providing support and cover through varied magic.
Mages who are more familiar with magical mysteries are more inclined to logistics, and the protection work of specific places will also be left to them.
People who are skilled in engraving pages of magic books will be more frustrated. Although they do not have to go to the battlefield, they are often locked in a small dark room and repeat monotonous work. Although it is safe, it can make people crazy.
There are countless such detailed divisions of labor.
Before Xiuge came here, he had heard that no matter on the plateau or the plains, they were actively forming mage shooting teams composed of a large number of stream-level and magic apprentices – as long as they could master the basic trick of “Magic Bow and Arrow” and some assistance The magic of sex is enough.
This undoubtedly shows that all countries have some new expectations for the upcoming epoch-making war – changing the status of mages in the war, allowing weapons and magic to be better combined to further amplify the advantages that magic can bring. .
The mages who received the recruitment notice are all official members registered in the council, so their work content and positions after entering the army have been arranged. Like Xiuge, there is no recruitment notice, but there is no Those who are clearly marked are destined to be only a minority among the minority.
He looked around, but he didn’t see the person Alfred said was waiting for him, which made Shuge a little surprised.
The person in charge of this queue was very efficient, and the queue was quickly moved to Shuge.
As soon as he walked to the table, his eyes were attracted by the figure sitting on the right side of the long table, who was responsible for helping organize and classify documents and notices. The other person also smiled very happily, which made the original figure The pretty face adds even more appeal.
“cough!”
There was a cough, and it was only then that Xiuge noticed that the person sitting directly opposite him was actually an old acquaintance of his.
That was Krautz, the chief military mage of the Fifth Chasseur Regiment.
He had a cold, stern face as always, and there was no unnecessary emotion in his eyes. However, facing Shuge, Krautz was too lazy to keep his airs, so he raised his hand and knocked on the table: “Put your things down and talk if you want…lower your voice.”
His words made Xiuge feel a little funny, but he still showed enough respect for a river valley level mage. He placed his certificate and notification on the table with both hands. After Krautz took it, Xiuge cast a questioning look at Sally beside him.
“How will you be here?”
Sally blinked and said nothing, with a bright smile still on her face. She raised her finger and pointed at a badge hanging on her chest. Xiuge looked at it carefully, only to find that it turned out to be a badge representing The coat of arms that officially qualified as an alchemist doctor. Although judging from its color and style, this should be the most basic kind, it is enough to show that Sally has got rid of her identity as a doctor’s apprentice.
She lowered her voice and said secretly: “My new mentor brought me here. I will be here to help in the past few days.”
Xiuge was a little surprised: “New mentor?”
He remembered that Sally’s teacher should be the doctor named Elan from the 5th Chasseur Regiment. Why did he change it so quickly?
“Miss Sally is making rapid progress. She is very talented in potions. The committee has already reviewed her once.”
Krautz’s voice floated over. His mage’s hand took the magic stamp from Sally, and “snapped” it twice on a new recruitment and registration book. At the same time, he said: “Elan Although the doctor is a regular doctor with a certificate, he has no experience in studying in a college, so the professors in the college unanimously believe that she should be taught by more professional teachers.”
After speaking, Krautz pushed the two documents in front of Xiuge and motioned for him to sign.
While Xiuge picked up the pen, Krautz’s voice floated over faintly: “Don’t forget, your approval as a ‘stream-level mage’ in the council is still temporary… learn more from your friends. “
It was too painful to talk to someone like Krauts, so Shuge hurriedly signed his name and handed one copy to Sally beside him, asking her to put the documents into the file bag.
The Council did not issue any form of supplies to any mages. This is related to the “Wartime Mage Management Regulations” that Bolden is currently implementing. If you want to get supplies from the Council and the army, you may have to wait until you enter the military camp. .
There were still a lot of people lining up behind him, and Xiuge couldn’t stay any longer, so he had to whisper a few words to Sally, and then walked out.
Major Alfred no longer knows where he has gone, but Professor Frey Meyer is still here. He stands upright like a statue, and at this moment he is concentrating on reading a book in his hand. this book.
Judging from the cover, it turned out to be the book “On Army Supply and Logistics Outline” written by Zeke Ernst.
The appearance of Shuge made Professor Meyer put down the book in his hand. He nodded and said: “Sally has just become my student for a few days. Her talent in potion preparation is really outstanding. It is a pity that she has no knowledge of alchemy and medicine in the past.” She knows too little, and as long as she makes up for these shortcomings, she will soon become one of the best in the academy.”
Meyer pointed to the garden outside: “Mr. Sugar, if you don’t mind, can we go over there and have a chat?”
Although it was only their first meeting, Meyer brought an inexplicable sense of intimacy to Shuge. Every move he made seemed to bring a strong sense of trust to people, and Shuge really had a deep respect for this doctor. The scholar was curious – after all, according to his understanding of the history of his original world, people who studied medicine in special periods were often able to burst out with astonishing energy.
So the two of them came to the college garden outside and sat down on a bench.
“Professor Meyer, why do you want to go to war?”
Shuge was the first to raise his own doubts: “Although everyone is very confident about the war now, once the war officially breaks out, there will be no absolutely safe place on the front line.”
“Because I wanted to understand the war and understand the changes that are happening in the world right now.”
Meyer put the book aside, leaning on the back of the chair with his hands in front of him: “Every war of mankind will trigger a series of complex changes. War will expose problems and bring about new problems.” Things will change the inherent situation and relationship…so I want to go to the front line and see with my own eyes what the world may face next.”
