Colonel, is it really fragrant today?

After the pre-selection, Vivienne didn't go to the simulation training room so frequently. The running-in between her and Dane had ended as early as the first week, and the only thing that needed to be stepped up was Theodore's solo training. Ann was too lazy to take care of Theodore, so naturally he didn't go to the training room much.

A month passed quickly. On the afternoon of the first day of the official competition, when Dane found Vivienne in the central library, she was standing on the spiral staircase in the library.

Dane stood behind Vivian and watched for a while, then approached her and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Vivienne didn't look back, her eyes still stayed in the distance, and after a while, she slowly said: "Dane, I'm trapped in the abyss, and now I need to work hard to get things that were within reach." Vivian There was a trace of imperceptible uneasiness in his tone, and compared to his usual flamboyant attitude of not caring about anything, it was more gentle and wanted to make people get closer.

"I can't lose tomorrow's game." Vivian turned her head to look at Dane with a serious expression.

"Ah."

Originally, Dane thought that Vivienne's anomaly would last until the start of the game, but he didn't expect that when he saw Vivienne again the next day, the other party was already the confident flower of the empire again.

When the two made an appointment to meet at the Central Academy, Dane made a joke: "I thought I had to coax you today to compete smoothly."

"Yesterday was an accident." Vivian raised her eyebrows and glanced behind Dane, but she didn't see Theodore, so she asked Dane, "Where's your little follower?"

Dane was a little dissatisfied with Vivienne's statement, but he didn't care too much. He just shrugged and said, "It's a double match in the morning. Theodore bought tickets for the spectator seats, and he should be waiting in line to enter now." So It is said that no matter how far the technology develops, no one wants to really solve this historical queuing problem.

The two made an appointment for a fully intelligent aircraft, and after they sat down firmly, Dane couldn't help complaining: "Obviously after graduation, we will go to the battlefield, but there is still such a rule that we are not allowed to drive. I really don't know the military department. What's going on in those people's heads all day long."

Vivienne found a comfortable position on the aircraft to lean against, and smiled sarcastically after hearing Dane's words: "It's just to make the empire look more human." Continuous wars are commonplace, and the energy In the ever-decreasing interstellar world, war is inevitable, otherwise one day they will be eliminated and become a pile of garbage in these cosmic stars.

Dane raised his head and looked down at the aircraft. Now all the resources they enjoy are obtained through wars. Interstellar resources have been basically mined hundreds of years ago. There are only two ways to maintain life. roads, or to develop new alternative energy sources, or to share energy in unspecified areas through wars.

Dane was silent for a while, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "If the people in the scientific research department can be more diligent, maybe the war will end in our time."

Vivian sighed and said, "I hope so."

It's just that both of them know that it is almost impossible to end the war in just a few years when this kind of war is commonplace and even commonplace for the entire interstellar people.

The atmosphere was a little depressing for a while, but neither Dane nor Vivienne was the kind of person who grieved for the spring and the moon. Their own situation was still difficult, so how could they spare more heart to care for the survival of the entire interstellar world.

In just a few words, the two had already arrived at the competition site. The passageway specially set up for the contestants was very eye-catching. Dane jumped off the aircraft neatly, then turned around and gently supported Vivienne. The cooperation of the two was just right, and a circle of flashlights around them quickly recorded this scene.

The situation of the contestants was broadcast on the screen in real time. The moment Dane and Vivienne appeared on the central silver screen caused quite a stir. The superior appearance of the two attracted the attention of almost everyone in the arena. Wei'an's popularity has already surpassed the geographical scope of the Central Academy, and naturally many people know about it, but not many people know about Dane, and there are more and more voices asking about this brown-haired boy.

Heinrich was sitting in the VIP seat in the viewing booth. Originally, he didn't intend to come to watch this airship competition, but he changed his mind after knowing that Dane was going to participate, and for this reason, he even postponed part of the work.Heinrich remembered that Dane said that the reason for participating in the competition was to meet the Marshal, so he acquiesced that the other party participated in the singles competition. Unexpectedly, Dane also signed up for the doubles competition, Heinrich frowned slightly Eyebrow, the two on the screen are an incomparably good match, but it seems a bit intrusive to him.

In addition to Heinrich, there was another person in the VIP seat who was interested in Dane's appearance. Zuo Lai let out a little snort when Dane's face appeared on the screen, and said, "It turns out that he also participated in the cruise ship." The competition, it seems that this year will not be boring."

The adjutant's face changed when he saw the screen. He knew this person, the one in the bar that day, "Colonel, do you want me to inquire?"

"What's the hurry, isn't the name coming out now?" The dynamic video on the screen was frozen on the scene of the two smiling at each other when Dane reached out to take Vivienne, and the basic information of the two popped up next to them. A gleam flashed in Zole's eyes when Dane Fitzgerald said a few words.

The adjutant was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "I didn't expect him to be the adopted son of Colonel Fitzgerald's family." Almost everyone in the military department knew Dane's name, but few people had seen him. One is because Heinrich has never brought Dane to any formal occasions, and the other is that Dane rarely uses the surname of Fitzgerald for anything.

"This is really interesting." Zole slowly curled the corners of her lips, groping for the leather chair cover with her fingers, and the interest in her eyes gradually deepened. I didn't expect that the other party was not Heinrich's lover, so it couldn't be better. .

Zole recruited an adjutant and asked, "How much did I bet on the Borghez twins?" Betting is allowed in all games in the empire, and as long as there are no outrageous black-box operations, generally no one will stop them , this kind of ancient entertainment has been passed down to this day, even in the bottom planets where there are problems with food, clothing and clothing, it is very common, and it is endless.

The adjutant flipped through the communicator and reported an amount, which contained previous records. Zuo Lai tapped the leather armrest lightly with his index finger, "Double the amount and vote for Dane." No matter what the strength is, it should be a field.

There was also a whisper in the auditorium. The name Dane is very common, but the surname that follows it - Fitzgerald, there is only one in this empire, and most people on the main planet of the empire have heard of it. Colonel Guo adopted a boy from the lower class back then, but he didn't expect that his appearance would turn out to be so shocking after a few years.

Not only the commotion in the auditorium, but also Walter Harrison, who was sitting in the sponsor's seat, also squinted his eyes. Why didn't he hear any rumors that the little bastard from the Fitzgerald family was messing with his niece? Together, his niece has always been quite capable. He thought it was a threat before, but now it seems that the selection of people is not very good. Is it possible to rely on this little bastard to catch up with the Fitzgerald family? What a joke.

Walter Harrison touched the green residue on his chin, squinted his eyes and looked at Dane's face on the screen, and showed a disdainful smile. Colonel Fitzgerald was very good at it when he grew up like this. Enjoy, I have to say, the appearance of this little bastard really makes people desire.

The people in front of the screen have their own thoughts, but these have nothing to do with the people in the preparation room. Dane and Vivienne are checking the equipment of the battleship immediately, and after making sure that they are correct, they made gestures with the staff and watched the battleship enter the preparation room smoothly. The two returned to the lounge after the cabin, and there was still half an hour before the start of the game. This period of time must be reserved for the spectators to place bets.

"Who do you think is the popular player this year?" Vivienne poked Dane's arm and asked. The waiting before the game was a bit boring. Vivienne had to find some light topics to pass the time, otherwise Dane It is estimated that eighty-nine out of ten will be used for resting the mind with eyes closed.

"There's no need to talk about such an obvious thing. You and I were just an accident." Dane took a bottle of water from the cabinet, unscrewed the cap and took a sip. The clear water flowed in with a bit of coolness. Throat is very comfortable.

Vivienne gave Dane a look that you are really boring, and then analyzed on her own: "The brothers of the Borges family are indeed popular, but this time our betting amount should not be too much." Ugly."

Dane let out a comfortable hum from his throat, took another bottle from the cabinet and threw it to Vivienne, staring at her and asking, "Why do you see that?"

"As long as this world is not destroyed, people will always yearn for beautiful things." Vivienne raised her hand to take the water bottle neatly, shook it twice in her hand, and didn't intend to drink it, "So you and I are worthless, just a sailor. Some people will be willing to spend a lot of money on the waste materials of ship operations, because we look good, so that they will think it is worth it.”

Dane nodded thoughtfully, rubbed his chin and said regretfully, "So Theodore shouldn't be able to make a lot of money."

"Huh?" Vivian rarely showed a puzzled expression, wondering why Dane suddenly mentioned Theodore.

"He took out all his belongings this morning and bought us to win."

Vivienne laughed dumbfounded, and joked, "What should I do, I suddenly don't want to win."

"Theodore is too miserable. I think it's better not to live up to his expectations." Dane smiled slowly, and reached out to Vivienne: "Are you ready to stand on the podium?"

"of course."
