187 Boots and Wings
Captain Garcia and Izzo led the way, while Li Yu, Pujia and Amaranda followed the two old people and slowed down.
Pujia suddenly lowered her voice and asked: "Why did the Mage Association remove its office in Bonfire Town more than ten years ago?"
Amaranda said: "Probably because the location of this place is awkward. There is no need for any defensive force, and the Kingdom of God will not attack here. There are no resources required for industry, and it is not suitable for planting and agriculture. From all aspects,
, there is no geographical value here.”
Pujia looked at the leader walking between the two of them: "Boss, is that so?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Of course there is not much geographical value here. Even in the old times, Patagonia was a corner of the world that no one paid attention to. It is too far away from Buenos Aires."
Amaranda added: "The place where an office needs to be set up is either a military garrison or there is investment from the association. There was indeed investment in Bonfire Town at the beginning, and there was also an army garrisoned. But then nothing was found around it.
Whatever resources there are, the only relics from the old era are of little value, so naturally we can’t continue to invest here, as that would be wasting money.”
While they were chatting, they had already arrived in the center of the town.
There are almost all bungalows around, built of old bricks and wooden boards. Only the three-story building where the mayor's office is located is an all-brick building. Although many traces of time can be seen with the naked eye, it is undoubtedly already
The most 'spectacular' building in people's sight.
Directly opposite the small building is a square, which is also the only square in the town. Its area is certainly not large, but the population of the town is not large. Even if everyone gathers here, they can still stand.
At this time, the square seemed quite empty.
Captain Garcia stood in the center of the square and stretched out his right hand.
Izzo cooperated very well and handed over the speaker - this speaker was too simple, just a circle of iron. If it was half a century ago, Izzo should have handed the officer an electronic speaker.
Unfortunately, the speaker broke down decades ago, and Izzo couldn't find anyone who could repair it, so he had to ask a blacksmith to build a tin speaker.
Captain Garcia raised the trumpet to his mouth, filled his chest with air, tightened his vocal cords, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, look here! Today is July 31st, the 70th year of the association. I, a subordinate of the association,
The commander of the 493rd Squadron of the Fifth Field Group, Captain Garcia, announces here that we will form a new army to fight against the tyrannical country of false gods!"
Everyone around the square stopped.
A scattered group of twenty or thirty people all looked this way, all with shocked expressions.
Even a few people emerged from the bungalows around the square. When he finished speaking, two windows were opened, and curious townspeople poked their heads in to take a look.
Seeing this, the old captain couldn't help but laugh and continued loudly: "The person responsible for the formation of the army is the Special Operations Commissioner of the Mage Association. This commissioner is a genuine mage, coming from the Mage City of Babel!"
Now everyone is more curious.
The original reason for people to stop was just to be curious about what was wrong with that old man who was acting pretentious all day long. It was enough to listen, and he would do what he had to do. But what if a mage really came?
Of all the people in the town, none of them had seen the legendary mage.
More than twenty passers-by came closer and formed a half circle facing the old captain in the square. But at this time, one of the half-grown children suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, look at old man Garcia's feet!" The boy pointed at the old captain's boots and laughed wildly, "Look at them!"
Then everyone looked over and found that the old captain's military boots were open.
Perhaps it has been left for too long. Even regular maintenance cannot guarantee the strength of the boots. After wearing them for nearly an hour today, the old military boots that have been with the owner for many years are finally overwhelmed. The sole of the forefoot of the right one is cracked.
In the eyes of the passers-by on the opposite side, it was as if the old man’s boots had opened and he was smiling at everyone.
"Ah ha ha ha..."
"This is too funny!"
"Old man Garcia, your new sandals are so unique!"
Listening to the roar of laughter from the crowd, the old captain's face turned red and the veins on his forehead bulged, but he was speechless.
A voice sounded from behind: "What are you doing here?"
The old captain and Izzo turned around and saw the pot-bellied mayor and the two security guards following the mayor.
The mayor is in his forties, and is certainly more powerful than the two old soldiers. Moreover, when Bonfire Town was established, the mayor followed his parents and was already sensible at that time. However, at this time, he was facing a gray-haired and rickety man.
The old captain and mayor looked like they were begging for protection when they were in danger when they were young.
But the old captain still remembered it, and he became even more angry: "Your people told me this morning that you were away and had something to do and left the town. Look, look, isn't this a lie?"
The mayor looked impatient: "I have asked you to save face, stop messing around. Bonfire Town is not Buenos Aires, not Rio de Janeiro, and no magician will come. You are old and confused.
Let Izzo help you back."
"Nonsense, there is obviously a mage here with me..."
The old captain said, turning around and looking around, but he didn't see Li Yu and the two young girls. What's going on? Aren't they always following him?
"Izzo, where are they?"
The old subordinate shook his head, the expression on his face was as blank as his.
But at this moment, the mayor's eyes widened.
Other passers-by noticed the mayor's expression and gaze, and when they raised their heads, they were unable to move.
Because no one in this town has ever seen a mage or an angel, naturally they have never seen someone flying in the sky with their arms open.
Li Yu unfolded his flying suit, especially the pair of black wings. On his back, in the middle of the wings, the backpack's jet nozzle only used 1% of its power, allowing him to float in the air.
The height of the three-story building is the same as the roof of the building not far away.
The old captain and Izzo were the last to react. They raised their heads and saw Li Yu with wings on his back, and were stunned for a moment. As old soldiers, they had certainly seen angels and mages flying in the air, but they were only dozens of times.
That happened years ago.
Li Yu took out a miniature loudspeaker the size of a matchbox and opened his mouth. Almost the whole town heard his voice:
"What Captain Garcia just said is correct, I am the Special Operations Specialist of the Mages Association."
