Louis glanced at him, then stood up and prepared to walk outside with Harvotte, but before either of them took two steps, Cecilia called them both.

"I want to find someone to go with you, should that be okay?"

Harvot had no objection to this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course."

But who should I choose?

While Cecilia was thinking about the right candidate, she heard the sound of humming coming from outside the door. It was Luo Er humming a song. Lin Shangzhou was quite familiar with this song. It was the "Birds in the Forest" that he sang to Luo Er at that time.

Cecilia decided on the candidate immediately. She asked Letitia to call Roel in, and then told her to follow Louis to a place more than ten kilometers away to see the performance of the communicator. Roel had no objection to this and agreed immediately. This was a good opportunity to slack off, so how could she not agree?

Then Cecilia told Louis and the others a place about ten kilometers away. Louis had no objection because he knew where Cecilia was talking about. It was the Berlin City Library.

Louis took Harvotte and Lore out of the office, while Cecilia and Lin Shangzhou waited in the office for their voices to come from the communicator.

Chapter 130: The Recruitment Method of the Magical Force

They went out, and Lin Shangzhou was not idle in the office. He asked Cecilia, "Cecilia, when I came here, I just saw Klein go out. What is he doing in Wuyou Palace?"

Cecilia turned to look at Letitia. With just this one move, Lin Shangzhou understood Klein's purpose for coming to Wuyou Palace.

"He came here to report to me about the recent training of the new recruits, and when he saw Letitia next to me, he wanted to harass her."

Lin Shangzhou frowned when he heard this, and things turned out to be just as he thought.

Letitia felt happy when she saw the change in Lin Shangzhou's expression, which showed that Lin Shangzhou cared about her very much.

Seeing Lin Shangzhou's expression become gloomy, Cecilia said, "But you don't have to worry. I warn Klein not to have any thoughts about Letitia in the future, otherwise I will castrate him. You can rest assured."

When Letitia heard Cecilia say this, she couldn't help but think of how Klein had been humiliated in front of Cecilia before. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

Cecilia's words also gave Lin Shangzhou a reassurance. His brows relaxed and a big stone in his heart fell.

Lin Shangzhou looked at Cecilia and expressed his gratitude to her with his eyes. He guessed that Letitia knew that he had arranged her here to protect her, but due to the awkward relationship between the two, he decided not to say it out loud, and let everyone know it in their hearts.

At the same time, Klein was sitting in the car looking at the scenery outside the window in a depressed mood. He was very confused about Cecilia's behavior. He hadn't done anything yet and she warned him, and it was such a serious warning...

A commando sitting in the passenger seat turned around and asked, "Captain, do you want to continue pursuing that maid?"

Klein glared at him coldly and cursed, "Didn't you hear what Lady Cecilia said? She may not do it, but if my uncle knew about me, he would castrate me."

"Don't mention that girl to me again! Do you understand?"

The commando hurriedly nodded to apologize and turned his head away to stop disturbing Klein. Without being disturbed by others, Klein crossed his arms and tried not to think about what happened today, because as soon as he thought about it, he would think of Lin Shangzhou. In his opinion, this was all caused by Lin Shangzhou.

(It seems that sending people to Strasbourg was a waste of effort...)

He sent a few people to Strasbourg yesterday afternoon to investigate the matter about Letitia and Lin Shangzhou, but what Cecilia said to him not long ago made Klein lose interest in Letitia, and it was useless for him to send people to collect information.

But what he didn't know was what a big surprise the person he sent would bring back for him... Of course, this would all happen in a few days, and now Klein was in an unusually irritable mood.

As the car drove on the road, a house built on the side of the road appeared in Klein's sight. It was just an ordinary house, very common in Germany, nothing special about it.

Klein knew who the owner of this house was. It was the residence of the current emperor's driver, that is, Lin Shangzhou's home. Thinking of Lin Shangzhou's ugly face, Klein felt sick. It made him feel that a house also exuded a disgusting smell, so he turned his head away and stopped looking at the house and urged the driver to speed up.

He asked the driver to speed up, and Klein's mood did not recover until the house disappeared in the rearview mirror.

Now in the Worry-Free Palace, Lin Shangzhou was somewhat curious about the new recruit training that Cecilia mentioned. This also reminded him of Andy who was far away in Strasbourg. He remembered that Andy had received divine inspiration. At that time, he still wondered why Andy was not recruited into the magic force.

Now is a good time to ask Cecilia this question.

So he asked, "Cecilia, did you just say that the magic force is training new members?"

"Ah."

Cecilia nodded and replied, "To be precise, it is the new member training of the Storm Commando. The Storm Commando will select some members with potential and strength from the magic force as candidate members of the commando. After training and passing the assessment, they can become official commando members."

Lin Shangzhou continued to ask: "What is the recruitment method for the magic force? Is it voluntary registration or compulsory recruitment from young people of appropriate age?"

His two consecutive questions about the magic army made Cecilia feel a little surprised. Why did he suddenly become interested in the magic army today?

So she asked, "Fritts, why are you suddenly interested in the magic army today? I've never seen you ask questions about this before."

Lin Shangzhou replied, "It is inevitable that I will have contact with the magic army in the future. It will be good for me to learn about it in advance. In addition, I know a worker in Strasbourg who has received divine inspiration. When I learned that he had received divine inspiration, I was very curious why people who had received divine inspiration did not join the army but continued to stay in the civilian world. Today, I just want to ask you why."

Cecilia was somewhat surprised when she heard Lin Shangzhou say that one of his co-workers had received divine inspiration. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then replied, "Since you want to know, I'll answer your question."

"First of all, there are two ways to recruit soldiers for the magic force. The first is through the enlistment examination. Soldiers will undergo a magic examination when they enlist. Those who meet the standards can join the magic force, while those who fail are ordinary grassroots soldiers with a probability of one in a thousand. The second is to select orphans to be adopted from the welfare homes jointly invested by the military and the church in the country."

"However, the second conscription method was abolished by the prime minister because some orphanage directors cheated civilian children for their own selfish interests in the hope of obtaining more funding for themselves. Prime Minister Albert was once one of these poor children. Not long after he came to power, he abolished this system, but retained the orphanage established because of this system."

After listening to Cecilia's story, Lin Shangzhou had a good impression of Prime Minister Albert. No matter what the reason was for the prime minister to abolish the second selection method, he did protect those poor children by doing so. At least it seemed so. It was still unknown whether those children would be abused in the welfare home.

After all, it is an institution jointly run by the military and the church. Not to mention the military, they may not necessarily spare manpower to run such a civilian institution, and the church...

Just two words: Father, little boy.

Lin Shangzhou decided that he would visit that kind of welfare home when he had the chance to learn more about the situation inside.

"Then why is my co-worker, who is a divinely inspired person, not in the army? Logically speaking, aren't divinely inspired people more valuable? Wouldn't it be good for the army to have him serve in the army?"

After hearing this question, Cecilia's expression became serious. She said, "The reason is very simple. Since we are in a peaceful period now, as the deputy captain of the Storm Commando, I asked the military to temporarily stop the excavation of the God-inspired One."

Lin Shangzhou felt very strange after hearing this. Shouldn't we increase our efforts to find the divinely inspired one? It was strange that we slacked off on the search for the divinely inspired one just because we were in a peaceful period.

But this is what Cecilia said, and Lin Shangzhou had no choice but to believe it.

Cecilia saw the doubt in Lin Shangzhou's heart and explained to him: "Fritts, you have to know that the age of divine revelation is usually very young, no more than 14 years old. I don't want children to become soldiers too early because of receiving divine revelation. Even if their character becomes mature after divine revelation, it is still very unfair to them."

After listening to Cecilia's explanation, Lin Shangzhou's favorable impression of her increased a little. You know, Cecilia is only 13 years old...she should be 14 years old now.

She must have gone through the rigorous training of the magic corps and the storm troopers. Lin Shangzhou believed that it was precisely because of this experience that she did that.

Thinking of this, Lin Shangzhou looked at Cecilia with a much softer gaze. She was also a kind girl, but it was a pity that her unique insights in politics were a little inappropriate.

.

Chapter 131 The deal is concluded

Cecilia noticed the change in Lin Shangzhou's eyes, and she was very surprised. Why did Lin Shangzhou look at her with softer eyes than before? But she didn't ask because Letitia was standing next to her.

Letitia naturally noticed the change in Lin Shangzhou's eyes. She looked down at the novel next to Cecilia's hand unhappily. This girl clearly said she would keep her distance, but her current actions did not seem like she was determined to keep her distance from Lin Shangzhou.

But in fact, the two of them are indeed much more distant in physical terms.

The atmosphere in the office became awkward. Lin Shangzhou realized that his change had led to some bad things happening. He wanted to say something, but at this moment, Lol's clear voice suddenly rang out from the communicator.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lady Cecilia, Lady Cecilia!"

Luo'er's voice was not loud, but it attracted a lot of attention in the quiet office. The three of them heard her voice. Cecilia quickly picked up the communicator and put it to her ear and said, "Hello, Luo'er, I'm here."

She was very confused. The time was not right, it was too short. Had they arrived at the library already?

Before Cecilia could even ask the question, Laurel answered her doubts.

"Lady Cecilia, we are in the city now. Mr. Bonaparte asked me to report the situation to you first."

"Well, I see."

Cecilia smiled and nodded. The city was several kilometers away from the Carefree Palace. Since they could have a smooth conversation with her in the city, it didn't matter whether they went to the library or not. She asked them to test the long-distance communication performance anyway, and this communication had demonstrated that what Havot said was true.

So she said to Luo Er, "Luo Er, come back. There is no need to go to the library anymore."

"it is good!"

Luo Er said happily, and then Cecilia heard Luo Er's voice became much lower, and she was talking to Louis.

On the other side, Louis, who was driving, heard Lauer say that Cecilia asked him to take them back, so he turned the steering wheel and turned a corner on the road and returned the same way.

After notifying the driver and seeing the car turn, Roel held the communicator and said, "Lady Cecilia, we are on our way back..."

"Ah."

Cecilia responded and put down the communicator.

Seeing Cecilia put down the communicator, Lin Shangzhou asked in confusion: "They got to the library so soon?"

"No, I just came to the city. I wanted to see if this etheric communicator can achieve long-distance communication. Now it seems that it can, so it doesn't matter whether I go to the library or not. Everything that needs to be proven has been proven."

Cecilia replied, shaking her head.

Seeing that she had accepted the ether communicator, Lin Shangzhou was ready to talk to her about the core materials, that is, to ask her for the old equipment of the magic force.

He raised the corner of his mouth, smiled faintly and asked Cecilia: "What do you think of the ether communicator, Cecilia? Will it be welcomed if it is used in the army?"

Hearing this question, Cecilia thought for more than ten seconds and then said to Lin Shangzhou seriously: "The current communicator can only be used for communication between frontline battlefield troops. I believe that frontline officers will like such equipment very much, but just the frontline officers' likes will not satisfy you, right? Felitz?"

She said to Lin Shangzhou in a playful tone. Cecilia knew why Lin Shangzhou recommended such a good thing to her. He just wanted to get the support of the military.

Lin Shangzhou didn't say anything, nor did he nod, but just kept a faint smile on his face.

Cecilia clasped her fingers together and rested them on her chin. She tilted her head to the right, squinted at Lin Shangzhou and said, "But this is only at this stage. The communicator is still in the experimental stage. If the finished product can achieve the effect you said, then I believe the communicator will be welcomed by generals from all sides in the army."

After hearing her last sentence, the smile on Lin Shangzhou's face became even wider. This was exactly the result he wanted. It was enough to use the communicator to get the support of some generals.

Cecilia continued, "So is part of the material used to make this etheric communicator titanium?"

This question froze the smile on Lin Shangzhou's face, but Lin Shangzhou quickly figured it out. The research on ether is inseparable from titanium, and the equipment of the magic force is made of titanium. It is not surprising that Cecilia, as the deputy captain of the Storm Commando, can think of this.

(Unexpected, but reasonable... No, I should have thought of this...)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself, and nodded to Cecilia and said, "Yes, the core of the ether communicator is made of titanium. Since you know this, I will get straight to the point. I hope you can provide some old magic army equipment containing high-purity titanium for Havot to use in the production of the communicator."

"As long as we can use titanium of higher purity, the performance of the communicator will be greatly improved."

He spoke to Cecilia with confidence, but Lin Shangzhou was also a little worried. The equipment of the magic troops was of utmost importance. Would Cecilia be angry about this?

Facing Lin Shangzhou's request, Cecilia lowered her head and fell into deep thought. The equipment of the magic force was indeed very important, but if a few old equipment could be exchanged for a communicator with better performance, then such an exchange would be completely worthwhile. As the deputy captain of the Storm Commando, it would be no problem for her to take a few old equipment...

But just agreeing to this would be too easy for Lin Shangzhou. She wanted Lin Shangzhou to pay something more.

Cecilia quickly thought of a way to make Lin Shangzhou bleed - the price of the communicator.

Cecilia showed a sly smile on her face. After seeing this smile, Lin Shangzhou felt a little uneasy. What did this girl think of that made her smile so sinisterly...

"Fritts."

Cecilia changed her expression, and happily called his name and said, "I can provide you with old equipment from before the war. The purity of the titanium used in those equipment is not as high as that of the current equipment, but it is still higher than the titanium you can buy. As for the old equipment that has been iterated from later, I need to see a breakthrough in the communicator before considering whether to give them to you."

This result is exactly what Lin Shangzhou wants to see. Even the old equipment is better than the titanium that Havot is using now.

Of course, he didn't feel happy too soon, because there was still a price to pay. Cecilia was not doing charity, and Lin Shangzhou was also prepared to pay the price.

Then, just as he thought, Cecilia changed the subject and said sharply, "But I hope that when you mass-produce communicators in the future, you can give priority to providing the military with the best performance products at a preferential price. If there are new improved models in the future, you should also give priority to providing them to the military."

After she finished speaking about her request, Cecilia's tone returned to normal. She said to Lin Shangzhou with a gentle expression, "Do you have any questions about this?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Shangzhou nodded and said, "No."

He seemed hesitant, but he was actually very happy. He thought that Cecilia's request was to give Harvot to the military and let him become a military researcher, but she only asked to sell the products to the military cheaply in the future. This was simply not simpler.

Lin Shangzhou had seen the core of the communicator. It was a very small device, and it didn't take much titanium to make one. Although titanium was expensive, with Cecilia providing the old equipment of the magic force, the cost was almost nothing.

There is no need to worry about the number of old equipment. The number of people in the magic force is not tens of thousands, but Lin Shangzhou believes that there must be thousands. The number of old equipment generated by a thousand people is huge.

As for what Cecilia said about giving priority to the military, this is also normal. New products with good performance will be given to the military, and the inferior ones will be sold on the market. Lin Shangzhou believes that he can sell them at a good price.

"How about this? We make a deal. If you agree to what I say, I will provide you with the old equipment of the magic troops before the war."

Cecilia asked with a smile, and this time Lin Shangzhou nodded without hesitation.

Chapter 132 Magical Forces Equipment

After happily reaching an agreement, the two waited for Louis and the others to come back. Cecilia asked Letitia to add some water to Lin Shangzhou's teacup. After adding the water, Lin Shangzhou looked up and said thank you to her. After seeing Letitia's resentful eyes and expression, he paused before saying thank you.

Letitia glared at him and then returned to Cecilia.

More than 20 minutes later, Louis pushed the door and walked in, followed by Roel and Harvot. After Roel came in, she trotted to Cecilia and excitedly told her about the magic of the communicator. After listening to Roel quietly, she smiled and touched Roel's head.

This scene seemed strange to Lin Shangzhou. You know, the age difference between Lore and Cecilia was probably only a few months. Although Cecilia looked like an adult, it would still seem strange if you knew their ages.

After being patted on the head, Lol consciously stood aside. She and Letitia stood on Cecilia's left and right sides respectively like left and right protectors.

Cecilia looked at Harvot and said to him, "Dr. Georgie, while you were out demonstrating the performance of the communicator to me, Fritz and I reached an agreement. Next, I will provide you with old titanium equipment from before the war. If we see a breakthrough in the performance of the communicator in the future, I will consider providing you with old equipment that has been iterated from later."
