My Endless Life

Chapter 10 Encounter on the train

Let me explain again.

The technological development in this world is strange.

Perhaps because of the existence of magic, many civilian places are very backward, and even give people the feeling that they are still in the Middle Ages.

But the steam engine happened to be developed, and then firearms were developed.

Even now the world has developed steam trains!

It's just that steam trains were only implemented in some 'developed countries' before, and Li Qi never knew that train tracks were built within the Principality of Uno.

Until now.

"...are all the trains out?"

Standing on the platform, Li Qi held the ticket in his hand and looked up at the locomotive, which was almost as long as two carriages. He was amazed.

Whether traveling through the previous world, the past life or the past life, the world Li Qi lives in belongs to modern society.

Not to mention this kind of steam train, I have never even seen a green train. The only way to go out is by plane or high-speed rail.

It was like riding a steam train for the first time. It gave Li Qi a feeling of traveling through time and space.

Not only was Li Qi surprised, a large group of people also gathered under the train platform.

They are all residents of this city. Since the trial operation of the steam train, they have come to watch this behemoth almost every day.

This is also the case in this world where cameras are bulky and huge and inconvenient to carry, otherwise they would definitely have someone taking pictures here.

Oh, someone is already taking pictures.

The city's newspaper reporter was setting up a camera in the corner below, adjusting something on the camera.

Li Qi couldn't understand the cameras of this era. He glanced at them and looked away, then walked toward the entrance of the carriage with a salute.

Handing the ticket in his hand to the ticket inspector, Li Qi walked into the train under the envious or jealous eyes of the people below.

Perhaps in this era, train rides were still reserved for upper-class nobles and famous politicians, so after Li Qi got on the train, he didn't see many people on the train.

There is no seat number on the car. It seems that you can sit wherever you want after getting on the car.

Li Qi got on the bus and took a look inside the car, then randomly found a seat by the window.

Then……

Li Qi was in trouble.

Because he was carrying a large suitcase, and the suitcase was to be placed on the luggage rack above.

That luggage rack...

Li Qi couldn't reach it.

"..."

There is no way, he is only thirteen years old now, not even 1.6 meters tall, not even as tall as a soldier commander.

It was really difficult for him to reach such a high luggage rack.

So why don't you just throw your luggage here?

There didn't seem to be anyone there anyway, so it didn't seem to matter even if the suitcase occupied a seat.

No... let's go find the train conductor, although it feels a bit embarrassing to go to the train conductor...

Looking at the suitcase at his feet, Li Qi was entangled.

Although it wasn't like he couldn't use his own strength to throw the suitcase up, after all, there were so many people in the carriage, and Li Qi didn't seem to be suitable to make too much noise.

While he was hesitating, a surprised voice came from behind him:

"Sergeant Li Qi? No, I should call you Warrant Officer Li Qi now."

"!" Hearing someone calling him, Li Qi quickly looked back, "Your Excellency, Captain!"

Behind Li Qi stood a middle-aged man with a short haircut and a square appearance.

He is the captain of the 203 Assault Group to which Li Qi belongs, Wood Coffel.

Wood took off his hat and looked at Li Qi with a smile. Seeing Li Qi salute him, he pressed his hand:

"Okay, I'm no longer the captain, you can just call me by my name."

"Yes! Mr. Wood... Captain!"

Li Qi subconsciously glanced at his military rank, and then realized that he had been promoted from lieutenant to captain, and immediately changed his words.

When the war ended, many people stayed on the battlefield, but at the same time, many people were promoted.

Reacher was promoted from sergeant to warrant officer.

The old captain in front of him, who had been with him for a year, was promoted from lieutenant to captain.

Looking at him like this, he must have been moved to the safe rear.

Wood came to Li Qi and immediately understood something when he saw the suitcase at Li Qi's feet.

"This must be a headache for you, let me help you."

"This...how is this so embarrassing!"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's your job as a commander to help your subordinates. Okay."

Wood said, already picking up Li Qi's suitcase and placing it on the luggage rack above.

By the way, he also put his luggage on the luggage rack, side by side with Li Qi's luggage.

Li Qi quickly thanked him.

Then the two sat opposite each other and started talking.

"Captain... No, Captain Wood, have you also been transferred to the rear?"

As soon as he sat down, Li Qi asked about Wood's situation.

Wood smiled and said:

"That's right. I heard that in the past few years while we were fighting on the front line, many new departments were established in the rear and are in urgent need of talents. I have now been transferred to a confidential department... I'm sorry, I can't go into details with you."

"It's okay, I understand."

Li Qi responded with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart.

Although the captain in front of Li Qi does not have a high military rank, he is actually a knight with a title, which is the so-called title level.

After firearms entered people's field of vision, title-level knights and magicians were no longer as important as before.

At the same time, because all countries are throwing the secret methods that were once regarded as treasures as military teaching materials to major military academies, the existence of title-level is no longer as rare as before.

Even Li Qi is now at most a warrant officer.

But Wood in front of him is different.

In addition to being a title-level officer, he is said to be the illegitimate son of the Coffield family. With such a background, the department he will be transferred to next must have great power...

As Li Qi was thinking about this, he heard Wood ask him:

"I heard that you are going to the military academy for further studies this time?"

"Yes." Li Qi immediately replied: "Because I am a civilian and lack theoretical knowledge, the commander and other superiors asked me to go to the academy for further studies."

"The military academy of the Principality of Uno... is the Rolex Military Academy, right? I heard that it was funded by the royal family. It will be good for your future to go there for further studies."

"I didn't think so much, I just wanted to learn more theoretical knowledge so that I can serve the country faster."

"Haha, you are only thirteen years old this year, right?"

Wood looked at Li Qi with a smile:

"You have such a deep awareness at this age... I'm afraid it's better than many adults."

Li Qi didn't say anything, just smiled shyly.

Wood transferred to the confidentiality department of the headquarters of the Principality of Uno. He may go far in the future. It is always right to leave a good impression in front of the other party now.

The two smiled at each other, and Wood suddenly said:

"By the way, a few days ago... the day before Farol launched the offensive, Sergeant Brett came to me to complain. I heard... you beat up his team members? And cut off the two hands of their team members?"

"... I am just doing my job."

"It doesn't matter. I have understood the matter. You are indeed right, but when you arrive at the academy, you must restrain your temper. There are many nobles there."

The Principality of Uno is still a feudal royal system, with the royal family as the main body and the parliament organized by the nobles as the auxiliary.

Therefore, the nobles have great power.

Li Qi didn't see many nobles on the battlefield because these nobles disdained to go to the battlefield.

But when you arrive in the capital, it will be different.

"Please rest assured, Captain. I know my limits."

"If you know your limits, I won't have so many complaints from other squadrons."

Wood joked with a smile, but he didn't insist. He quickly said:

"I'm not blaming you. I just want to remind you to be careful about the severity of your actions in the future. The rules in the army are indeed useful in the army, but for nobles, these rules still depend on people.

"And this time when I go back..."

Wood hesitated for a moment. He looked around and moved closer to Li Qi, whispering:

"...According to my gossip...it's just gossip. This time when you go back, the intelligence department you are going to join seems to be a little bit wrong. If possible, try to transfer to another department, and don't stay in the intelligence department. "

Is there something wrong with the intelligence department?

No, is there someone who wants to deal with the intelligence department?

Li Qi analyzed this from Wood's words.

Based on Li Qi's understanding of Wood, this officer who cares about his subordinates would not say this to Li Qi for no reason, so he must have sensed something.

Originally, Li Qi was thinking about working in the intelligence department during school.

But now it seems... I have to think about going to the intelligence department again.

Otherwise, it would be funny if I really stepped into the trap.
