"Is there something wrong?"
Major General Troll said, his voice was cold and clear, without any emotion.
He looked at the few people across from him, with a cold light in his eyes, which made people's backs shudder for no reason.
The light white cloak wrapped around his left arm hung down, tightly wrapping the child in his arms.
Even a fool can see his strong protection for the boy in his arms.
In this war-torn interstellar, power is everything.
Therefore, no one dares to be disrespectful to those old professors who are backed by powerful forces, and as a new star who just appeared, Mute will naturally not have any background—after all, if a powerful family has such a treasure , it is impossible for him to be exposed in front of everyone in such a high-profile way.
This is also the reason why those big forces want to strike first without any scruples. They all feel that no matter what, they should grab this treasure first.
Even if it is just a virtual projection of the spirit now, as long as the teenager makes a promise, then under the witness of the brain, there is also a legal contract.
As long as there is a legal contract, even if the teenagers don't want to come over, they have nothing to say about forcibly abducting others.
However, the premise of doing all the above is that Mutt does not have a strong enough force behind him to protect him.
Now, as soon as Major General Troll appeared, all the forces that tried to snatch this treasure first became afraid.
If they knew that the force behind this newly promoted young professor was actually Major General Troll, those people would never act rashly like they are now.
That's right, this major general Troll is just a new force with no background, and his family is also in decline. Those nobles even contemptuously used the nouveau riche to belittle this major general who suddenly jumped up and stood side by side with them.
But no matter how much they belittled Troll, they couldn't ignore him.
Because the fighting power of this young major general is too strong, since he appeared, he has experienced no defeat in the battle, as if the goddess of victory loves his beauty and stops by his side and never wants to leave——
So far, the forces that are hostile to this major general have hardly had a good end.
Well, if you can’t fight, then come secretly and sow dissension in front of His Majesty the Emperor. This is what the nobles are good at—even if the royal family is in decline, it is still the royal family in name, and a decree can still overwhelm people. I can't breathe.
However, the emperor's only daughter, the queen who is destined to be in the future, has taken a fancy to Troll, and her straightforward love and behavior let people in the whole universe know that the queen loves the major general. And because of this, His Majesty the Emperor doted on Major General Troll, and whoever slandered the Major General in front of His Majesty would make His Majesty angry, and also offend the Queen.
…
So, after this series of fights, everyone was surprised to find that although the upstart had no family background, he had already firmly established himself, and no one could do anything to him.
Although he is only a major general now, the power under his command has expanded very fast, and even the powers of the big families who stand side by side with the royal family dare not underestimate this new force.
Moreover, the vast majority of people would rather fight with established forces than confront Major General Troll—this newly promoted major general is too sharp, and he will take revenge on others.
He never knew the so-called forbearance and tact in communication, like a sharp knife out of its sheath, anyone who dares to touch him must be prepared to be stabbed bloody by his sword.
Under the gaze of the major general who looked like a sharp blade, some of the people on the opposite side stood still, while others took a step back, with different reactions.
But there is one thing in common, they are all talking nervously in low voices, and it seems that they are reporting the current emergency to their respective masters.
Then, very quickly, they all got new orders.
Still no one spoke, but one after another, some people began to bow slightly to Major General Troll, then turned and left.
Soon, everyone around Troll disappeared, leaving only the girl with fluffy brown curly hair, who was greatly relieved and smiled happily.
"Miao..."
She laughed happily and wanted to talk to Mutt.
But just after she uttered a single word, the major general gave her a faint look, her heart tightened inexplicably, all the words stuck in her throat, she couldn't utter them.
Maya bowed her head stiffly to the major general, and then hurried towards her grandfather who was not far away as if fleeing.
She was so nervous that her breathing became short of breath.
Although she usually rests, she often looks at the image of the major general with some female soldiers on the battleship, her eyes are shining, staring at the handsome face of the major general with greed. But looking at it from a closer distance now, the major general is indeed extremely handsome, but the terrible oppressive force emanating from his body made her dare not take a breath, as if she fell down in the ice and snow, just Even the air she breathed seemed to be frozen into ice, making her feel chilly all over.
So now, Maya, who once dreamed of the love story of the domineering major general falling in love with me like a girl, almost escaped from the major general, not daring to stay for a second longer.
She walked quickly to her grandfather's side, only then did she feel relieved.
It's better to be with Mutt.
she thinks.
It's much more comfortable to be with Mute. Your Excellency the Major General is very handsome, but the sense of oppression is too strong. Being with him makes my whole body tense, which is too uncomfortable.
She was still thinking about it when she heard her grandfather snorting softly beside her.
"fine… "
"grandfather?"
"Fortunately, I reported to the Major General in time."
"Oh? I just said, why did the major general suddenly..." Maya was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and laughed happily, "So you did it, grandpa? Grandpa, you are so smart."
"Humph."
Although Professor Terry was very comfortable being held by his granddaughter, he still put on a serious face.
At the beginning, he was dumbfounded when he saw Mute getting the badge, but his years of experience quickly woke him up. He realized that there was going to be trouble. He decisively contacted Lieutenant Colonel Via on a special line as the head of the History Research Department.
However, he originally thought that it was Lieutenant Colonel Via at most, but he didn't expect Major General Troll to come in person.
It seems that Major General Troll thinks highly of this boy.
Professor Terry thought so.
…
When Mute poked his head out from the light white cloak, he saw the men who were tough towards him saluted Major General Troll one by one and then left.
Looking indifferently at the other party saluting himself, the major general stood upright, with a cold face, as steady as Mount Tai, without moving his eyes—a completely condescending posture.
But this kind of posture that would make people uncomfortable and arrogant when asked to do it by others does not make people feel disgusted at all when placed on the major general.
It is like a snow tree and silver pine standing proudly on the top of the snow mountain. At first glance, it will only make people admire and cannot take their eyes off.
Anyway, Mute subconsciously made up his mind, if it was his own expressionless face looking down at others with his chin up... ...
... ... Forget it, this is the rhythm of looking for a fight.
The boy's mind was still running in a strange direction, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes met those of Major General Troll who was looking down at him.
The glazed blue pupils stained with ink stains were terribly bright in the dark. The major general stared at him coldly. There was a glimmer of light in the depths of his eyes, like a sword glow, which immediately made Mute's heart beat and his chest tighten.
To suffer.
He thought, a little flustered.
The major general seemed to be angry.
Why? Because he was accidentally too showy? Because he caused him trouble
... But seeing how calm and unconcerned he is, he doesn't seem to think it's troublesome, does he
The young man thought wildly for a while, then raised his head to look at Major General Troll and wanted to speak, but before he could open his lips to speak, he felt his eyes darken.
Under the eyes of everyone, the two people standing in the middle of the hall turned into a stream of light from top to bottom and disappeared into the virtual venue.
When Major General Troll was there, the aura was fully open, and the air seemed to be frozen, and the audience was silent. Now that he left, the atmosphere relaxed, and the whole venue suddenly became noisy again.
Those who were still here were still whispering and whispering about the series of shocking things that happened just now. Professor Terry and the others on the other side saw their boss leave, so they quickly followed suit.
...
In the quiet clubhouse, dozens of mechanical chairs lighted up, and the glass cover covering the upper body of the person was slowly lifted up, and the metal wires wrapped around the person's body also seemed to be alive, moving gently. Shrunk back lightly.
The originally slanted seat slowly returned to its straight position, allowing the lying person to return to an upright posture.
As if in agreement, everyone stood up and turned their attention to the mechanical chair on the far right. In that gaze, there were disbelief, bewilderment, excitement, and embarrassment.
Among them, Professor Terry's expression is the most complicated. Thinking about how many times before today he reprimanded the boy, telling him not to disturb them and not to cause trouble... Now, as long as he thinks of the words he reprimanded Mute back then, he will It's too embarrassing.
He, a professor who is not even a half-baked professor, actually reprimanded an 'SS-level' professor for not knowing anything, and told him to stay honest and not cause trouble for himself.
When he thought of this, his face turned green and pale... Professor Terry felt that it would be great if he could swallow back what he had said.
But no matter how embarrassing it is, you have to face reality.
Although Professor Terry has a bad temper, he is also a person who dares to admit mistakes.
So, after seeing that Mutt had opened his eyes and woke up, he took a deep breath, and when everyone was still anxious, he somehow faced the servant who was called around by them just now. When he was a boy who was a professor who was not sure how many levels above them, he took the lead to walk over and stood in front of the boy.
Mutt looked up at him, the old professor pursed his lips, a little embarrassed, but still bowed slightly decisively to salute him.
"I was wrong before, Mutt..." He paused, and spit out the next two words out of habit, "Your Excellency."
Seeing the rigid Professor Terry bending over in front of him, Mutt was a little surprised, he quickly stood up and stretched out his hands to help.
"No need, Professor Terry."
Although he knew that his current status was much higher than that of Professor Terry, but when he saw a white-haired old man bending over in front of him, Mutt, who was taught by his parents to respect the old since he was a child, quickly comforted him.
"It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong. After all, I'm really too young. It's normal if you don't believe me."
"No, thank you very much for your tolerance, Mutter... Your Excellency."
To a child who is only in his teens, it is really difficult for the old man to say the word "Your Excellency".
Mutt smiled.
"No, you are old, just call me Mutt."
He looked at the others, and they were all old people. He was really not used to letting these old people salute him every day.
"So do the elders."
"No!" Mutt didn't care, but the old-fashioned old man was not happy. He looked at Mutt seriously and said, "That's too rude, in your capacity—we must not be so rude, Your Excellency Mutt."
He turned his head and glared at the group of subordinates behind him.
"Did you hear me?"
"... up to you."
Looking at Professor Terry's serious face, it is conceivable that arguing with this stubborn old man is definitely useless. Mutter shrugged and decided to give up the question of title.
Seeing that Mute didn't pursue their intentions, the others were relieved, stepped forward, and respectfully called out to you.
The boy scratched his head and was surrounded by the crowd uncomfortably. Over there, Maya brought him a cup of hot tea with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mutt~ Your Excellency~"
Although the girl also called for your Excellency, she was teasingly affectionate, and Mute, who was surrounded by a group of old people respectfully, was immediately relieved by that familiar attitude.
He smiled at Maya, took the hot tea she handed over, and drank most of it in one go.
"Your Excellency Mutt, if possible, can you guide us?"
When he was drinking tea, after hesitating for a while, someone looked at Mutt and asked in a low voice.
"Well, of course no problem."
Swallowing a sip of tea, the boy nodded and answered with a smile.
Since he has exposed his knowledge of earth culture, he has no intention of hiding it. If he teaches what he knows, more people will help him find his way back to earth.
So he readily agreed.
"Want to know what?"
The person who was a little nervous suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and happily tapped the keyboard a few times. I saw that the ball in the huge glass column that seemed to have water flowing rolled around, and countless fluorescent spots wrapped around one of them.
A huge light curtain emerged in the middle of the room, and an old book was projected on the light curtain.
"Your Excellency Mutt, we have been studying this ancient book for a long time, but we haven't made any progress at all. Please give me some pointers."
The man pointed to the light curtain and said.
The surroundings became quiet, and everyone waited expectantly for the guidance of the 'SS-level' professor who had only heard of it in the legend and had never been in contact with it.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mutt looked up after drinking the hot tea in his hand.
The dilapidated ancient books were magnified and projected in the light curtain suspended in mid-air, and the 'N25' on the broken cover was clearly displayed in front of his eyes.
Mute: "..."
There was silence.
After a long while, Mutt finally spoke.
"Cough, that... Well, the major general just said that he told me to go see him immediately after waking up."
Using the excuse of Major General Troll, the boy left a group of old people who were looking at him expectantly, and almost ran out of the research room as if he was running away.
Just kidding, of course I have to escape.
If you don't run away, why don't you stay there with that pornography book and give pornography lessons to a group of old people and a young girl
...
As for the fact that the major general called him over, it was of course false.
Mute thought about the last look the major general gave him when he left the virtual meeting place, and felt a chill in his back, his back went down, and there seemed to be a dull pain in his buttocks.
Hmm... It seems that we have to think about how to deal with the major general while we have time now.
The boy worked hard to think about it.
He definitely doesn't want to be beaten in such a shame like that day again!
—
Ishtar's flagship is still swimming slowly in the sea of stars. Above the flagship, the sky has automatically changed to night.
All those who are not on duty have returned to their residences and slept peacefully.
The sound of splashing water in the bathroom stopped, and after a while, the door opened, and a gust of hot air gushed out.
A young man with a slender body came out from inside with water mist, and some wet black hair stuck to his white skin like the first snow.
How should I punish that little guy
While walking out of the bathroom, Major General Troll was thinking about this question.
Just not staring at it, it caused such a big commotion outside.
Just today, according to Via's report, there are at least seven or eight different forces, either overtly or covertly, to inquire about the child's information and origin. Apparently, that child has aroused the interest of many forces.
Although those forces are afraid of him and dare not do anything blatantly, there is no guarantee that they will not attack Mut secretly.
Thinking that the child was missed by many people, the major general felt a strong unexplainable unhappiness in his heart.
And his displeasure was felt by everyone in the command hall in the afternoon.
This afternoon, all the soldiers were sitting upright, concentrating on doing their jobs well, not daring to say a word.
The whole hall was silent.
…
Another spank
The handsome major general thought with such a deadpan expression, and walked into the bedroom with a long leg.
As soon as he entered, he saw the child kneeling on the bed, his outstretched legs sinking into the soft bed, his eyes were rolling around, as if he was thinking about something.
Turning around and seeing him walking in, the boy's eyes lit up immediately.
Mutt raised his head slightly to look at Major General Troll, and pressed his hands on the bed between his knees. Because he raised his head, the white and tender neck became more and more beautiful.
The black-haired boy sat obediently on the bed no matter how he looked, raised his head, looked at him with dark and bright eyes, blinked slightly, and smiled at him.
"Your Excellency, Major General, do you want to come to the spiritual coordinator tonight?"
The boy tilted his head slightly, and said to him with a bright smile.
"… Um."
Troll was silent for a while, and then hummed in a low voice.
The major general said so, and Mute, who had been trying hard to maintain a cute smiling face, was relieved in his heart.
OK, we're done.
The relieved young man thought so, and as soon as he relaxed, he knelt on the bed and stood up straight, reaching out his hand to hug Troll's shoulder.
The major general leaned over slightly, caught the child, and hugged him into his arms. There was still no expression on his face, but the coldness in the dark blue pupils softened a little.
His unhappy mood all afternoon suddenly became much better.
It felt like a kitten that was forcibly grabbed by him every time to rub its fur but unwilling, suddenly came over and rubbed his hand to let him touch its head, meowed softly at him, and let it go all at once. People are so soft.
The major general rubbed the soft black hair of the person in his arms, thinking so in a good mood.
...
Ah - I know this person is an earth controller.
Knowing that he had successfully escaped, the young man thought happily.
Well, now he has found a way to deal with this major general. From now on, whenever he gets angry, just take him to see a movie on Earth.
Well, I'm so smart.
The boy gave himself a thumbs up in his heart with satisfaction.
