I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 184 Socializing

Admiral Alva is a very stern-looking old man, just standing there has an aura of calm and prestige.

He has served in the navy for more than 40 years, with a high position and authority, starting from the bottom of the soldier, all the way to his current position.

Siegfried was obviously a frequent visitor here, and the servant who opened the door for them saw that it was him, and let him in without even asking the general.

Siegfried led the way in a masterful manner, pointing and evaluating the various decorations in the garden along the way.

Julian and Owen maintained polite smiles, and re-evaluated Ziegfeld in their hearts.

Being able to enter and leave the general's mansion so easily shows that Siegfried is by no means just an ordinary brigadier general.

Julian and Owen looked at each other, thinking about it, and then heard Siegfried shouting into the courtyard: "General! I'm here to give you a gift!"

"Gifts? You kid can still give me gifts? Don't come here to eat and drink, right?" A mid-spirited voice replied.

Since Siegfried came to the general's mansion, he was obviously very happy. That kind of happiness was not a fake polite, but really happy, as if he was about to meet someone he valued very much.

Julian wondered, is this Siegfried pursuing the general's daughter?But I never heard that the general has a daughter?He seems to have only one son, who is currently studying at the Imperial Academy of Magic.

He looked at Siegfried wonderingly, just in time to see him staring forward with bright eyes, and then shouted: "Mrs. Greta!"

Julian froze for a moment, and followed his gaze. A serious and dignified old man and a kind and amiable lady stood together at the door of the living room, looking over like them.

Julian immediately realized that the old man should be Admiral Alva, and the lady next to him must be his wife.He hurriedly saluted and greeted the two of them. Admiral Alva nodded to him, then turned his head and scolded Ziegfeld angrily: "You brat, I knew you must be here to bother Greta again!"

"Hey, don't you want to say that, General, Madam also likes me to disturb her, doesn't she?" Siegfried said with a smile: "After all, I am younger than you, a bad old man, haha..."

General Alva was so angry that his beard turned up, and he opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly his eyes flickered, and a sly look flashed in his eyes: "If you want to say that you are young, the person next to you is more suitable than you. According to what you said, I don't think you will come here in the future, let this gentleman replace you."

Siegfried: ...

It's like digging a big hole for yourself!

That Mrs. Greta didn't participate in their quarrel, but she pursed her lips and laughed when she heard General Alva mention Julian. Obviously, as a lady, who doesn't like to see young and beautiful boys... …

Siegfried glanced at Julian, touched his slightly ordinary face, and suddenly felt sad. It's over, beauty is not something that he has a chance with, but Julian made such a comparison, even the word youth away from him.

Probably because it was rare to win in this kind of bickering, General Alva was quite proud, stroking his two mustaches, the corners of his mouth almost reaching the roots of his ears.

Fortunately, Mrs. Greta is a kind person. She patted her husband's shoulder lightly and said with a smile, "Okay, you two are so mean, you can't let the guests just stand like this."

"Yes, Madam is right. In such a hot day, the general should contribute some of your good tea." Siegfried said cheekily.

General Alva gave him a big white eye: "Don't spoil my good tea, do you know the quality of tea?"

He said so, but still ordered the servant to go to his cabinet to take out the tea leaves from his cabinet and make a pot of good tea.

After several people sat down, Siegfried introduced Julian and the others to General Alva. After learning that Owen was a seventh-level sky knight, Alva's attitude was a little more cautious than the casual one just now.

Julian finally understands what a sky knight represents. Owen's existence is equivalent to a walking nuclear warhead. No matter which side he joins, it may change the power distribution in the city.

So regardless of whether it is the military or other forces, the attitude towards Owen must be based on wooing, so Julian doesn't have to worry about any trouble he will encounter at all, and no one will take the risk of offending a sky knight to embarrass him.

After several people drank a round of tea, Siegfried finally revealed his reason for coming.

What he told the general was his perfected plan, all aspects were very detailed, and several questions raised by the general were quickly answered.

"How did you come up with this plan?" Alva put down his teacup. He knew Siegfried very well. If this was the plan he made alone, he would definitely send the complete plan to his desk tomorrow morning. Instead of sending it directly to his mansion.

To a certain extent, Siegfried is very similar to him, and he is very clear about the distinction between public and private. The only reason he made such a move today is to hope that he can establish a personal relationship with these two people.

Although sky knights are rare, they can also be selected from the navy, so it is very interesting that Siegfried is so active in wooing the relationship between the two parties.

Siegfried had no intention of concealing Julian's credit at all, and directly pushed Julian in front of Aval.

Julian didn't expect Siegfried to do this. He had already expected this scene when he brought them to Avar's mansion.

He euphemistically stated that he didn't actually do anything, but just proposed a simple concept, and the rest were all perfected by Siegfried himself.

Aval smiled slightly: "You are welcome, there are many people who can perfect the plan, but you are the only one who made this suggestion." He asked with great interest: "I know that Mr. Owen is a knight of the Church of the Holy Light, but You are not Julian, are you? How are you? Are you interested in joining our navy? Our civilian salary here is very good."

Julian: ...

I never expected that I would be poached!

Julian was very moved, and then rejected Avar's solicitation.

——Just kidding, his family still has such a large territory to take care of, how could he join some navy.

Besides, although every man has a dream of joining the army, civilian jobs are definitely not included in this dream!

Alva was not surprised. He made the solicitation just for fun. Julian leaned on Owen, a big tree. If he really wanted something, Owen would be able to satisfy him. Of course, his intention of soliciting was not pure. To be polite, at least he thinks that Julian's way of thinking is very special, and keeping him may bring him many surprises.

Alva is a very talkative person, and the two sides talked about a lot of things with Alisa City as the center of the topic.

Julian intentionally or unintentionally revealed a lot of content about army building. Those things were not esoteric, but his viewpoint was novel. Seeing Alva's pensive look from time to time, he felt that the effect should be good.

Facts have also proved that this is indeed the case. When Mrs. Greta came to invite them to dinner, Alva was already able to pat Julian on the shoulder and regard him as a promising junior.

Siegfried looked at Julian more as if he saw a treasure, which was shining a bit scary, and he said with regret: "It's a pity that I didn't get to know you before Lord Owen."

Owen on the side:? ? ?

Is it I, Owen, who can't hold the knife anymore, or are you Siegfried?How dare you poach a wall in front of me?

Seen by Owen's murderous eyes, Siegfried realized that what he just said could easily be misunderstood, and quickly waved his hands: "Don't get me wrong, I mean if I can get to know him in advance, maybe Let him join the Imperial Navy."

Owen: ...

So we still have to dig the wall!

The corner of Julian's mouth twitched. Based on what he said just now, it's no wonder that he usually tries to keep a taciturn character, otherwise, everyone will be offended by him...

After talking and joking for a few words, they came to the dining room, and Alva waved his hand: "They are not outsiders, you are welcome." After speaking, he sat down on the main seat.

Siegfried was obviously a regular customer, so he pulled up a chair early and sat down. Julian and Owen were a little embarrassed. Siegfried could be rude, but it would be impolite for them to sit casually.

Fortunately, in addition to the two carefree men, there is also Mrs. Greta, a considerate hostess in this room. She gave her old man a sneaky look, and then signaled the servants to place two sheets next to her seat. chairs, inviting Julian and the others to sit down.

Julian breathed a sigh of relief, and then complied with Mrs. Greta's invitation and sat beside him.

In this continent, there is no rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. On the contrary, restaurants are often an important place for family members to communicate.

Alva and Siegfried chatted about some military topics, which involved many of the suggestions made by Julian just now. Some neglected these two guests.

"I'm so sorry, my old man is always like this, he can't stop talking about things in the army." Mrs. Greta gently stood up for her man.

Julian said with a smile: "To be able to share dinner with a beautiful lady like you without worrying about being disturbed by other men is something I wish for."

Mrs. Greta covered her lips and smiled lightly. Although there were many traces of age on her face, it could still be seen that she was definitely an outstanding beauty when she was young.

"You are so good at talking. A young man like you is the natural enemy of girls."

Julian pursed his lips and smiled, looking very shy.

Mrs. Greta deliberately covered her chest, making a look like she couldn't breathe: "Oh, my God! I'm really looking forward to the grand occasion when you attend the ball. Believe me, child, you must wear more, we Sha Girls from the Tan Empire are very enthusiastic!" She blinked mischievously, but the content of the words made Julian's smile froze on his face.

what? What?What does it mean to wear more?You're not implying that I'm going to be stripped at the ball, are you?

Are girls so enthusiastic these days?

Just when Julian was considering whether he should refuse the prom in order to keep his virginity, he felt his sleeve being pulled veiledly.

Turning his head, Owen looked at him blankly, with the words 'I'm not happy' written all over his face.

Julian: ...

Oops, patronizing to please Ms. Greta, I forgot this big vinegar jar!

Owen Diary:

Super unhappy!

Julian said that Mrs. Greta is beautiful. After all, she is really a very temperamental lady, even though she is over 60 years old! (Over 60s are emphatically bolded.)

But what the hell is Mrs. Lolita talking about the ball?Why should Julian wear more clothes?My Julian is of course the best, but he is mine!

Do those girls still want to do something to him?

Don't even think about it! ! ! (emphasis added)

I think I might need to protect him (of his chastity)
