Chapter 23: Promoted

  Wu Ya didn't hide it either, this matter couldn't be hidden anyway. He simply took out the "Magic Classic" and handed it to General Fangfang. General Fangfang subconsciously accepted it, but when he was about to open it, he suddenly stopped again.

  "How did you choose this secret book? Hmm, how did you even get it out?"

  Wu Ya pretended to know nothing, asking what the problem was. Later, he said it was given to him by an old man from the library. Hearing this, General Bing Fang shook his head and returned the "Magic Classic" to Wu Ya, saying: "This old fellow is really..."

  "Sir, is there something wrong with this secret book?" Wu Ya asked, feigning concern.

  The general looked at him, told the history of "Mo Dian", shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry, you can use it to break through to Zhang Bing Shi, who knows if you can cultivate or not. Who knows, this is actually a secret recipe for cultivating bricks. Besides, even if you are really abandoned, it doesn't matter, you just started with Zhang Bing Shi, and you can restart later."

  Wu Ya nodded, still looking worried on her face, but it was just an act.

  "Alright, keep this token for now. Since that old fellow gave you five chances to enter the library, go take a look when you have nothing better to do and see if you can find any secret recipes for bricks, just in case. General Fang said: "As for your duties, you don't need to continue guarding the city gate anymore. Now that you've reached the level of Master of Arms, let's promote you to Middle Rank Officer. In two days, there will be an auction, go over there and maintain order first, and I'll give you a suitable task later!"

  Wu Ya quickly thanked him and was promoted two ranks to Zhong Pin Shi Wei. How much salary did he get?

  "Alright then, you can go back now."

  "Yes, sir!" Wu Ya responded with a single word and was about to turn back, but he stopped and asked: "Sir, what about that white horse..."

  "It's already been given to you, and even if we go back now, it would just be a slap in the face for Beidou Qiwei. It's better for both of us to pretend we don't know anything." General Bingfang said with a smile, seemingly still in a good mood, and became more talkative.

  "Bang......"

  Wu Yue thanked again, turned around and walked out the door. Just then, the door was pushed open, startling Wu Yue. This was the residence of a high-ranking military officer, who would dare to be so bold? As he looked towards the outside of the door, his eyes lit up.

  A woman about his age walked in, tall and slender with a slightly wheat-colored complexion, her hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing a red female soft armor, looking spirited and heroic. She also saw Wu Yue, raised an eyebrow, and a strong aura burst out, making Wu Yue stunned, his mind completely cleared, and he thought to himself that only a veteran could have such an aura, this woman must be a soldier.

  "What a mess! What kind of state is this?"

  Just then, the military defense lord slightly shouted, and the girl instantly retracted her momentum, stuck out her tongue, and walked towards the direction of the military defense lord, no longer looking at Wu Yue. She also heard her say: "Dad..."

  It turned out to be the daughter of the head of the garrison, no wonder.

  Wu Ya quietly retreated, no longer thinking about it, and directly led the horse back to the gate. Naturally, someone came running over to ask questions again. Wu Ya simply told them what had happened, and someone shouted to invite him out for a treat. Wu Ya didn't hesitate either, also preparing to build good relations with these people.

  Unfortunately, it's not possible for now, these people are all on duty.

  It was when he returned to the Bingfang Academy, preparing to move out of his dormitory and pack up his things, that he ran into a colleague from the city gate. He invited him over for a drink, and one by one, the soldiers guarding the city heard about Wu Jue's promotion to mid-ranking officer and all called out "Sir", filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

  It wasn't until late at night that Wu Ya returned home with a strong smell of alcohol, leading his white horse.

  Wu Qianxue and Wu Xiaoye were both awake, watching Wu Ya's busy figure, they already had a sense of home.

  That little maid helped to clean up the things, from time to time glancing at the only male in this house, who got drunk on the first day. The hostess and the cousin were not bad, but the master seemed not a good person.

  Wu Ya didn't know that he looked so bad in the eyes of the little maid, and after waking up at dawn, he got up early, feeling refreshed and reported to the military department. This time, he didn't ride a horse, and things were arranged quickly. After receiving the necessary uniforms and the emblem representing his status as a soldier, he rushed towards the direction of Beidou Academy with other soldiers, which was also the venue for the auction.

  The auction is only starting tomorrow, and for now, I'm mainly getting familiar with the work, but there are already many people here, not just students, but also some mixed fish and dragons, among whom there are no shortage of people with identities comparable to Dugu Jiu Xian's.

  Nothing major happened that day, a few small brawls were easily settled, of course, they also encountered the Beidou Riders Patrol Team, staring at each other without further incidents.

  The first day was uneventful, and the second day's auction also began quietly.

  He came early to patrol around the Beidou Academy, but he was not really maintaining order. There were many masters inside and if something happened, he would only be able to run away. If it weren't for the fact that he had lost face in front of the Beidou Riding Squad, someone with his abilities wouldn't have been seen by General Fang, let alone promoted by him personally. Although there were many people who thought he was destined for greatness and at least he had already caught General Fang's attention.

  "Heh heh..."

  Just as he was standing guard at the Wu Ya station, a horse carriage suddenly came rushing over, and it wasn't very noticeable in the surroundings, after all, there were many people around, and rich people were even more numerous. What caught his attention was the sound coming from inside the horse carriage.

  "Hold on, noble inside, no magical beasts are allowed in during the auction."

  "Huh? What did you say?" A nasal female voice came from inside the car, clearly dissatisfied with Wu Yue's blockage.

  "Sorry, no one is allowed to bring any magical creatures into the auction during the auction period. This is a rule of the Beidou Auction House, please follow it!" Wu Cui said patiently, this was not the first time. On the Shenxuan continent, there were many people and even more various kinds of magical creatures. They generally lived in mountains, forests, rivers, and seas, and were the targets of human hunting, and the source of livelihood for many people.

  It has become a custom to raise demonic beasts over time, especially among the nobility, where almost no one does not raise them. Even the North Dipper Riding Guards, who appear to be riding horses, are actually considered to be of the lowest rank and are called the Horse Guards. There is also the Dragon Horse Guards, which is said to be a descendant of dragons and horses, and can no longer be considered a wild beast, but rather a demonic beast.

  Like armies everywhere, the weakest link in cavalry was the horse; besides these, there were various types of knights.

  Just now, Wu Yue has stopped many nobles from bringing in demonic beasts, most people are still cooperating, after all, this is Beidou City, his current strength is weak, but it represents the official side of Beidou City, with a strong backing, of course, there are also those who think they are superior, sometimes need to show up in person to deal with, in short, this job is not easy.

  Grandma's, I should have continued to guard the city. Anyway, we have the "Xuanbing Dictionary", and there will be a chance to soar in the future.

  Sometimes Wu Yue would also have wild thoughts, but now he was just a small ant on this continent, struggling to survive. He wouldn't think of himself as a traverser, with an aura of kings and overlords that shocked everyone into worship, and even shook down the creator god of this continent.

  "Hmph, when did I ever bring a demon beast? Which eye of yours saw it?"

  Keep collecting and giving power, one more update at midnight, three updates tomorrow, if the results are strong enough, four or five updates are possible!
