Chapter 95
Knock, knock, knock...
The door of Hearth House was knocked, and the Fatui soldiers under Alecino took the letter from the Fatui outside through the iron door.
"The traditional official ordered the executive officer [servant] to go to Fontaine and rebuild the Fontaine branch of Hearth House. No matter the method."
After the Fatui soldier finished speaking, he saluted the people inside the door and shouted again.
"The cold snow is unyielding, the queen is kind!"
Hearing this, the Fatui soldiers inside the door responded with the same salute.
"The cold snow is unyielding, the queen is kind!"
Then, he watched the Fatui soldiers outside the door leave, and then quickly turned around and trotted towards Alecino's office.
Unlike Kugavina, Alecino did not bother to hide the fact that Hearth House was part of the Fatui, and she even told the children of Hearth House directly and openly.
"Heartland House has never been a welfare institution, and there is no free lunch in the world. Since Hearth House has taken you in and given you a warm home..."
"Then, you also need to do something for this home. Equivalent exchange, this is the eternal truth."
"In fact, you should feel fortunate that Hearth House has a purpose for you, otherwise, you will feel endless hesitation and fear. Good intentions without a purpose are the most dangerous."
Alechino clearly told the children of Hearth House that when they grow up, they will join the Fatui and serve the God of Ice. They will engage in intelligence gathering, infiltrating other countries, assassinating politicians...all kinds of dangerous work.
And, you must never betray!
Because... Hearth House does not allow "betrayal".
The cold expression and tone of Alechino's voice when she said these words scared the children present at the time.
The Fatui soldier walked through the lobby, and his figure was seen by the children in the room.
Surprisingly, the children were not afraid of him, but greeted him in a friendly manner.
"Good morning, Uncle Kalivsky!"
"Uncle Kalivsky is here!"
"Uncle Kalivsky, [Father] said that we can't chase and fight in the corridor. If you don't obey, [Father] will punish you."
"Fool, Uncle Kalivsky must have something to find [Father]."
The children greeted the Fatui soldier, and some wanted to scare him.
Faced with the children's enthusiasm, Fatui soldier Kalivsky also waved his free hand at them, but he didn't stop.
At the same time, he didn't forget to remind the children.
"Don't make trouble for the teacher, children. You have to listen to the class carefully, especially Ruth and Darcy. Uncle, I have something to do."
Kalifusky's figure gradually moved away with his voice.
At this time, Ye Lina, the teacher who was teaching the children, coughed lightly and knocked on the blackboard with a ruler.
"Ahem...Okay, kids, let's continue learning the elementary theory of elements."
"We just said that our world is made up of seven elements, namely ice, wind, rock, thunder, water, fire, and grass. The masters of these seven elements are the seven gods today. Her Majesty the Queen of Winter is the greatest, most loving, and most compassionate ice god among the seven gods..."
Yelina talked eloquently, and her voice was very contagious, attracting all the children's attention.
In Yelina's enthusiastic narration, the children seemed to see a great god standing in the ice and snow, holding a scepter in his hand and wearing a crown on his head.
This god established Winter in the Far North. He protected every citizen of this country with his divine power. He loved the people of the Snow Country like a loving mother.
The children were immersed in Yelina's narration, and they had a little yearning and awe for the Queen whom they had never met.
On the other side, Kalivsky soon came to Alecino's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A cold voice sounded, and Kalivsky shuddered. He suppressed his fear, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, the heating drove away the coldness on Kalivsky's body.
Kalivsky stomped his feet hard on the carpet at the door twice, trying to get the snow and mud off his feet, and then he stepped on the thick wooden floor of the office.
"Report to the commander. The general officer [clown] has ordered."
Kalifusky stood up straight, looking straight ahead.
"Speak."
Alecino was correcting the children's homework, and she gave a cold order.
"Yes! The general officer [clown] has ordered you to go to Fontaine to rebuild the destroyed Fontaine branch of the Hearth House, and allow you to play freely."
"Sir, this is the appointment letter."
After saying that, Kalivsky took two steps forward, holding the envelope in both hands, and respectfully placed it on the table.
It is worth mentioning that Kalivsky was placed very close to Alecino, where there was no children's homework blocking it, and Alecino could reach it as long as she stretched out her hand.
"Hmm..."
Alecino groaned, she was not in a hurry to open the envelope, nor did she let Kalivsky leave.
She was just so leisurely correcting the children's homework, sometimes frowning, sometimes indifferent, but without a smile.
For Alecino, it is necessary to pay attention to the growth of children at all times.
Time passed slowly, until Alecino carefully corrected all the children's homework, and then he looked up at Kalivsky.
"I remember...you are not from Donggrad, right?"
Alecino asked.
"Yes, sir. I am from a small village in the snowfield. "Kalivsky replied.
"Well...are you married?"
Alechino then picked up the envelope, then opened it and read it slowly.
"Not yet." Kalivsky replied truthfully.
"Are your parents old?"
Alechino asked again, as if checking the household registration.
"...My father was killed by a bear a few years ago, and my mother followed him a few years later."
Kalievsky's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Alechino gave him a great sense of oppression, especially these family issues made him uneasy.
"Well..."
Alechino nodded, and had already made a decision in his heart.
"I will take some people to Fontaine to rebuild the friendship between Zhidong and Fontaine. Kalivsky, you have been selected as one of the accompanying personnel."
"Three days later, we will go to Fontaine by official channels and take a ship."
"Go back and pack up, and say goodbye to your friends. This mission will be difficult. "
After saying that, Alechino sent Kalivsky away.
Kalifusky was still dizzy when he returned home at night.
How did he get picked by the superior to become a member of the diplomatic corps to Fontaine?
Am I going to be promoted?
