Chapter Summary
But you have to remember this is the wilderness, where a ferocious beast could jump out at any moment, and a beast at the level of a general-level warrior at that. The only reason someone would dare to dress like that is either because they have a very strong subordinate or because they possess extremely powerful personal strength. Only someone like Liu Ning is wearing combat gear, and Lin Lei next to him is also wearing some kind of magic robe.
Lin Lei and Liu Ning couldn't stay hidden inside any longer; they had to come out and check. There was a guy outside dressed in military uniform, his front covered with all sorts of medals. This struck them as odd. If this were a banquet in the city, that's how people dress. But you have to remember this is the wilderness, where a ferocious beast could jump out at any moment, and a beast at the level of a general-level warrior at that. If you were dressed like that, you definitely wouldn't be able to fight. The only reason someone would dare to dress like that is either because they have a very strong subordinate or because they possess extremely powerful personal strength. If you don't meet either of those requirements, then trying to dress like that is simply courting death.
This person is none other than the legendary Wolf Commander. The fact that he's dressed like this only means one thing: he has both of the things we just guessed. All his men are warrior-level, and he's already sealed off this place. Even if there's any disturbance, he can issue an early warning, so that kind of embarrassing situation is impossible. Besides, he's a psychic; if he can't fight, can't he just run away? He could easily leap into the sky from here at any time. Look at Zhao Wudi, he's also dressed in white. Psychic masters are just that flamboyant; they can't let their image be damaged no matter where they are. Only someone like Liu Ning is wearing combat gear, and Lin Lei next to him is also wearing some kind of magic robe.
The two men walked over confidently. There was no way to avoid such a situation, especially since they were talking to Zhao Wudi. Zhao Wudi waved them over, indicating they should pass. The more this was the case, the more confident you needed to be. If you walked like you were stealing, did you think people wouldn't suspect you? Having served as the commander of the Northern Military Region for so long, what kind of people hadn't he seen? If you aroused suspicion, things would get complicated. Wolf Commander wasn't on Shangguan Qingyun's level. If he suspected you, even if you were a member of the Mage's Guild, you'd have to accept his investigation. He had that kind of confidence.
"Let me introduce you all. Ordinary people standing here can easily recognize who you are. This is Wolf Commander of the Northern Military Region, this is the youngest city councilor in our city, and this one doesn't need an introduction. As long as you are human, I'm afraid everyone can recognize him. He has a lot of popularity on the internet and various propaganda agencies. This is the magician Linley."
Zhao Wudi chuckled and said, while Liu Ning, standing beside him, also felt a bit strange. Zhao Wudi was an arrogant person, and even when facing important figures, he would never speak in such a tone. But now, when facing the old marshal, Zhao Wudi was very friendly. That could only mean one thing: Zhao Wudi also greatly admired the Wolf Marshal. In fact, they had the same thought: why would someone like the Wolf Marshal choose Shangguan Bao as his apprentice? Couldn't he have found someone better? That way, he could have preserved his reputation. But do you think mentalists are like cabbages? Everywhere on the street? There's only one in a million. The chances of finding one are extremely slim. Finding one is already quite remarkable.
After the introductions, the two reacted quite differently. Wolf Commander, being the eldest of the three and a well-established figure, didn't need to speak. He simply stood there waiting for the two young men to react. Wolf Commander had also reviewed the surrounding records and believed that the two were highly suspicious, but the Shangguan family wasn't investigating. As for Zhao Wudi, Wolf Commander knew that Zhao Wudi was difficult to deal with, given the well-known relationship between Zhao Lele and Liu Ning.
Linley simply nodded indifferently. Even if you are the commander of the Northern Military Region, I don't need to deliberately curry favor with you. There are four commanders in the world and only five mages. But there are many people who can take the position of commander. Even if you don't take it today, you can find someone to replace you tomorrow. But the question is, can a mage find someone? That's obviously unlikely. No one was surprised by Linley's arrogant attitude. Mages have always been like this, and everyone was used to it. Even when facing the Speaker, mages have the same attitude, let alone the commander of the Northern Military Region. So no one felt anything was wrong.
As for Liu Ning's reaction, he immediately stood at attention and gave a solid military salute. Liu Ning didn't use the following formalities, but rather adopted military etiquette. This pleased Wolf Commander greatly; soldiers, no matter where they are, must present themselves appropriately. If they acted like ordinary civilians, they wouldn't deserve their uniform. Although Liu Ning was wearing combat uniform, Wolf Commander still gave a salute, which surprised Zhao Wudi. Wolf Commander was usually very arrogant. While he was very kind to ordinary people, he was selective in his treatment of powerful individuals. If you contributed to society, Wolf Commander would naturally treat you as an honored guest; if you were merely a social parasite, then he could only say he had let you down.
However, Wolf Commander actually had reservations about Liu Ning. There were many people like Liu Ning in society; as long as they made contributions, the military would try to recruit them. Commander Wang thought it was normal to give them some rewards, after all, they had contributed to society. But bringing them into the army was inappropriate. The army was a place that emphasized discipline, and these people hadn't undergone systematic training. Bringing them in rashly would disrupt the entire military system. Of course, Wolf Commander hadn't expressed this publicly, so he still looked at Liu Ning with a smile.
"I've heard some things about you, similar to what I did when I was young. A strong person should contribute to humanity to demonstrate their value. If they don't contribute anything, then they are probably useless. I hope you can continue to develop and make even greater progress."
