Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight small town tavern chat
As late spring April fades away, the Semlia continent ushers in early summer May with the gradually rising temperatures.
After the first special exercise at the Second Branch School, the students learned a lot from this practical exercise.
Even Sidney, who was usually frivolous, began to reflect on his usual style, and he was ashamed of his embarrassing performance in that battle against puppet weapons.
Compared with other second branch students who fought bravely, Sidney, as a sniper, performed very badly under pressure. He was even scared by a phalanx soldier who was attacking in front of him and threw down his weapon and sat on the ground trembling.
Although his situation is not an isolated case, other students who are afraid of fighting are members of the main program department who have never experienced combat. This situation occurs in the Tactics Department of Class 8... He is really the only one.
Sidney's annoyance is just a microcosm of the students of the Second Branch. After a practical battle, the flowers in the greenhouse began to grow rapidly. The originally lively second branch has recently seemed a little quiet.
However, Mint, who just joined the school, became a pistachio that made everyone laugh and cry.
Mint's technician talent was inherited from her father, but her confused personality was inherited from her mother.
The combination of these two different characteristics creates the confusing technician Mint.
Her learning ability and self-innovation ability in technology, even Dr. G. Schmidt, who is above the top, is also attracted by it.
But on the other hand, this rash new technician also made Dr. Schmidt feel very troubled.
Mint seemed to have no idea what politeness was. Others would unconsciously show awe when facing Dr. Schmidt, only she...
Although she also called Doctor with respect, she had actually made Doctor Schmidt angry many times because of her carefree personality.
But this girl was indeed unintentional, which made Dr. Schmidt too harsh, which led to the recent doctor's like an explosive barrel that could explode at any time. Students from the Second Branch all suffered a lot when taking his guidance technology class.

Aragon Mine Town
In recent days, residents of Miaoshan Town have clearly felt that the atmosphere in the town is different from that in the previous period.
Since the arrival of the arrogant bald nobleman, the guards guarding Mining Town have significantly increased their security in the town.
This man named William Ballard, even the ignorant remote town residents have heard of it.
This man was dismissed from his title at the Territory Conference last year, and the workers traveling to and from Lackville and Mining Towns had known about it for a long time.
However, recently many nobles from Lamar Prefecture have come to meet this bald old man who has no title, which makes the residents of Mine Town very puzzled.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't matter to them, but the former marquis who liked to speak loudly after being drunk always muttered that the town lacked entertainment spirit, which made the miner and the mayor very dislike him.
And the former marquis' complaints began to change three days ago.
I don’t know if something happened in the world outside the town, but the patrol efforts of the guards in the town have been further increased.
William Ballard, who always swaggers to the tavern and doesn't pay for alcohol, hasn't appeared in front of everyone for a long time.
The owner of the tavern is the wife of the miner, a strong and strong woman. When she was asking the outside world for her son who was going to Ribs to study, she heard a lot of useful information from the worker.
"Gustav? The boy recently showed his face in Schalrant State with the Second Branch, which is said to have thwarted the evil attempts of a conspiracy organization."
The bearded uncle obviously drank too much and he started to have no door on his mouth.
"Do you know? Three days ago, Mr. Kane began to thoroughly investigate the workers' troubles. Many of the little nobles who had come to our town before were arrested by the Discipline Inspection Commission."
"Ouch!" The strong boss lady was surprised. "Didn't the noble master in the town say that he was giving justice for us? How could he offend Duke Kane?"
"Hi!"
The half-drunk uncle waved his hand and said sarcastically, "Do you really believe that bald man will do it for our own good? Bah!"
Under the sharp eyes of the boss's wife, the bearded uncle did not really spit out the phlegm. He scratched his head embarrassedly and continued, "That bald man was famously selfish in Lamar State before, and wanted him to make decisions for us? Ha!"
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked innocent and innocent walked in. He slowly said, "The former Marquis of Ballard is indeed of a bad reputation. Duke Kane also gave him a comment - 'I would rather die than suffer losses, and try my best to take advantage'."
"Yo~" the boss's wife hurriedly served the ale to the gentle-looking man. "Isn't this Mr. Max? Do you know any inside story?"
The middle-aged man named Max is one of the three officials Ryan had stayed in Mining Town before. A year of life in Mining Town has basically integrated into the town.
Max smiled and nodded, "Thank you, the boss lady, still the same."
The boss's wife cheerfully served Max a cold dish. "Okay, please tell us about the recent changes."
Max glanced at the uncle who had just talked about. At this time, he was already sleeping on the table because of drunkenness, and his snoring sounds like thunder.
"Oh~"
Max sighed in a daze, and the other tavern guests were also very funny at the bearded uncle who had fallen asleep in seconds. The generous miners laughed out loud without caring.
"Okay, let's talk about it briefly from what I learned."
Max took a big sip of ale, and a faint blush appeared on his white face.
"Marquis Ballard was dismissed from his title by Prince Kane last year, and no one in Lamar state objected to this, which shows how he is."
Max said with some disdain, "Thanks to the new Kane Duke Nian, who is related to the Kane family, he just drove him off the title and did not kill him, but William is not grateful at all, recently..."
Max looked around carefully and waved to other gossip miners coming over.
"Recently, the old thief William is quietly gathering the little nobles who are dissatisfied with the new policy of Mr. Kane. What does he want to do... Haha, I think everyone can guess it."
"oh!"
The pub suddenly became noisy, and the proprietress slapped the table heavily and shouted angrily, "Does that bald man want to rebel?! This man Kane is much better for us civilians than his father. Does that bald man want to kill him?"
"Well..." Max showed a mysterious smile on his face, and at the same time he looked at a corner of the tavern with a vague look.
"Although I dare not be 100% sure, it is inevitable that William, the old thief, was ill-behaved and colluded with the nobles of Lamar State in white."
"Hey! What rumors are you spreading there? Shut up!"
A team of guards rushed into the tavern after receiving a tip. When Max saw the guards coming, he immediately winked at the miners around him and then stopped talking.
Some existence hiding in the shadows before also quietly left while the Guards opened the door and entered.
At this time, the guards guarded in the town started to act under the command of a hysterical bald man, and they surrounded the entire outer part of the town.
William Ballard was furious at the contactor handset in his temporary mansion on the north end of the town.
"I don't care about that much! Since you promised to support me, I must stick to it to the end. I...hello?hello!"
"Damn bastard!"
William smashed the receiver heavily on the phone, and his small eyes showed an uneasy look.
