While Eileen doesn't seem to understand why her father would do this, Russell can fully understand why her father would do it.

Joining the military is not playing a game!

Even if it is an army like the Nova Corps, and Irene's father is also the current centurion director of the Nova Corps, joining the army is not an easy task.

With the help of Irene's father, Irene can indeed get more opportunities than others in the Nova Corps.

But don't forget that any civilized army is an armed organization.

The nature of the army will not change significantly because of different cultures.

In such an armed organization, even if there are so-called unspoken rules and background influences, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is its own strength.

To put it bluntly, even if Irene's father is the current centurion director, if Irene's own ability is not up to standard, even if her father wants to promote her, it is impossible.

In the army, if a person's ability is not up to standard and he is forced to be promoted, it is easy to encounter things where his subordinates don't obey orders at all.

If it is more serious, it will even be directly emptied of power and turned into a nominal officer.

In addition, there is another very important point.

Erin is an only child!

Comparing his heart to his heart, if Russell was Irene's father, he would never let Irene join the army.

There are many ways to inherit the power of the parents. It does not mean that you must follow the same path as the parents in order to inherit the power of the parents.

"Then when did you start teaching me?"

After hearing Russell's answer, Irene immediately posted it, holding Russell's right arm with excitement, and Kazilan looked at him with bright eyes.

"Even if I want to teach you, it's not now."

"And before learning magic, you still have a lot of things to prepare. It doesn't mean that you can learn it if you want to."

Feeling the softness from his right arm, Russell said calmly.

"What should I do to prepare?"

Erin asked next.

"Um... This is not a good place to talk about these things. If you want to know, I will tell you slowly when I get back."

Russell didn't intend to tell Irene what it was like to prepare for becoming a sorcerer's apprentice here.

Among other things, there is still a statue-like bodyguard standing in front of them.

"Uh-huh!"

Irene didn't continue to ask, and quickly replied.

After answering Russell, Irene looked at the sculpture-like bodyguard and the bodyguard at the back who was calling to contact the butler.

Although she didn't speak now, Russell understood what she meant at once.

Without Irene's reminder, Russell cast his magic again, completely imprisoning the bodyguard behind him who was on the phone.

"Okay, done, let's go!"

Russell said to Irene.

"Uh-huh!"

Although her bodyguards are now incapacitated, Irene is not worried about her safety.

If she would have worried about this, she would not have offered to invite Russell to live with her.

As for whether there would be any problems with the two bodyguards, that was out of her consideration.

Although Irene is not the kind of delicate and savage person, she can be regarded as the second generation of the famous army in Xandar.

Even though she is usually very considerate, she still has some subconsciousness in her bones that does not take ordinary people into her heart.

Besides, this is Nova City, the capital of Xandar.

The security of Nova City is second, if not the first, among the cities on Xandar.

Moreover, those two bodyguards were not real bodyguards, but active soldiers of the Nova Corps with military ranks on them.

Even if they have lost the ability to move now and can only stand still like sculptures, there is no need to worry about any accidents happening to them.

Not long after, Irene brought Russell to her luxury car.

After seeing the driver get out of the car and help her open the car door, she said to the driver, "You have nothing to do here, you can go back first."

"Miss, are you planning to drive back by yourself?"

the driver asked quickly.

"No, Russell will drive me home."

After answering the driver, Irene turned to Russell and asked, "Do you know how to drive?"

"Of course, and my driving skills are pretty good."

Russell said with a smile.

Although he has never driven a suspension vehicle like this on Xandar, he only needs to look at the settings of the driving position to know that the suspension vehicle is similar to the vehicles on Earth.

Even if there is a difference, with his current learning ability, he can learn it immediately.

As for the fact that he doesn't have a driver's license for Xandar now, that's simply out of his consideration.

"Then it's up to you to drive."

Erin said with a smile on her face.

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the co-pilot's seat, opened the door and sat in.

After seeing Irene's actions, Russell didn't hesitate, opened the driver's door, and got into the car.

After looking at the steering wheel and various buttons and instruments in the car, he quickly determined the way to drive the hover car.

Under Irene's gaze, he started the vehicle smoothly and held the steering wheel which was somewhat different from the steering wheel of the earth car.

After Irene set the post-navigation route, he stepped on the "accelerator" decisively and drove towards Irene's home.

As a metropolis, the traffic environment in Nova City is obviously much better than that of New York.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Xandar's cars can fly.

Although Xandar's hover vehicle cannot fly at high altitudes like an airplane, even so, the traffic environment in Nova City is not generally good after breaking away from the constraints of the ground.

Coupled with the artificial intelligence on each hover vehicle, there is no need to worry about installing buildings or other hover vehicles during driving.

In fact, with Xandar Star's technological level, it is already completely possible to drive unmanned.

However, Xandar's luxury suspension vehicles basically still retain manual driving.

There is no other reason. When most people can only use unmanned driving, having a dedicated driver for manual driving has become a sign of status distinction.

After all, it is much more expensive to have a dedicated driver than to update the on-board artificial intelligence.

It didn't take long, only about twenty minutes, Russell and Irene arrived at their destination.

Irene's luxurious residence is not within the range of the city center, but in the well-known wealthy area of ​​Nova City.

Compared with the city center, it not only has a better green environment, fewer pedestrians, but also is quieter.

After parking the hover car in front of and behind the gate of the villa, Russell and Irene got out of the car and entered the villa.

As soon as he entered the villa, Russell discovered the biggest difference between the rich man's villa on Xandar and the rich man's villa on Earth.

Artificial Intelligence Butler!

Without exception, the villas of the rich on Xandar are all equipped with artificial intelligence butlers, and they are not the regular version that ordinary people can use, but a customized version.

On Earth, apart from Russell who owns No. 3, only Tony can deploy artificial intelligence where he lives.

And on Xandar, not to mention the rich, even ordinary people have artificial intelligence in their homes.

This is the gap in technology!

After seeing Russell looking at her residence, Irene said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not the kind of person who would take a man home casually, you are the first one."

After hearing Irene's words, Russell said with a smile: "I didn't say that you are the kind of person who would take a man home casually. Why are you so nervous?"

Although he knew why Irene said such a sentence suddenly, after seeing Irene's pretty face flushed from alcohol, Russell couldn't help but have the idea of ​​teasing her.

Ever since he became a heavenly father-level god, or in other words, since he became well-known on Earth, he has rarely experienced this feeling of being able to joke around with a woman he just met.

Because of being too famous, those women would inevitably feel some pressure when facing him.

Although he can change his appearance and pretend to be someone else to deal with these women.

But pretending to be someone else to do so always felt a little less.

So on Earth, apart from joking in front of Diana Gwen and others, he couldn't do it in front of other women.

Because even if he was joking, those women would involuntarily think about whether he had any hidden meaning.

And once there is this kind of intellectual guessing and thinking, it will be boring to communicate.

After coming to the living room and sitting down, Irene originally planned to go to the wine cabinet to get wine.

However, the moment she stood up, she changed her mind.

Instead of going to get wine from the wine cabinet, she took out tea leaves and tea sets and made tea for Russell.

I have to say that when Irene started making tea, she showed a very obvious ladylike temperament.

Russell didn't know if the Xandar people had the habit of drinking tea, but judging from Irene's actions, the Xandar people should also drink tea.

Because when Irene makes tea, there is an obvious process that doesn't seem to make sense.

And this also means that there is also a tea culture on Xandar.

After making a cup of tea for Russell and herself in a gentle and virtuous manner, Irene handed one of the cups to Russell.

Then, she sat down opposite Russell very obediently, and said to Russell, "I haven't made tea for a long time, I don't know if my craftsmanship has deteriorated."

After hearing Irene's words, Russell gently blew on the steaming tea soup.

Then, he took a sip.

“The taste is not bad!”

Russell gave his opinion.

Although the tea on Xandar is quite different from the tea on Earth, the tea on Xandar tastes pretty good.

He could even tolerate Ancient One's heretical method of adding honey to tea, let alone the tea on Xandar.

After hearing Russell's answer, Irene finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip.

Then, she asked Russell, "You said just now that I still have a lot to prepare before learning magic."

"Now that I'm back, you should be able to tell me what I'm going to prepare, right?"

After knowing that Russell knew magic, Irene, who grew up in a technological civilization since she was a child, immediately developed a strong interest in magic.

Although there are no so-called mages on Xandar, as a well-known interstellar civilization in the universe, Xandar also has some research and understanding of magic.

The most typical is Asgard, which also belongs to the interstellar civilization, but is not on the road of technological civilization.

"Before I answer your question, I want to ask you a question."

"In your cognition, what kind of existence do you think a mage exists?"

Russell asked Irene.

"What kind of existence is a mage?"

After hearing Russell's question, Irene frowned slightly.

However, she quickly gave her own answer.

"Although I don't know what abilities mages have, in my opinion, mages are similar to scientists."

"It's just that the scientific knowledge mastered by scientists, and the magical knowledge mastered by mages."

"Scientists can use their scientific knowledge to create various weapons, and mages can also use their knowledge of magic to cast various magics."

"Although the forms of expression are not the same, they should all be the use of some existing rules."

Russell didn't expect much from Irene's answer.

But after hearing Irene's answer, his eyes lit up.

A person who grew up in a technological civilization did not regard magic as a heresy, but regarded it as another form of using the rules of the world.

Although this is only a very rough understanding, it is not easy for Irene to have such an understanding.

If it was someone else, even if they had seen him perform magic, they might still say that magic is only a field that science has not yet touched and studied.

From a scientific point of view, this statement is not wrong.

But from a magical point of view, this statement is not generally outrageous.

Science is indeed a means of studying the world, but the problem is that the field of magic is beyond the reach of science.

This is no longer a problem of Xia Chong not being able to speak to Bing, but that the two are not in the same dimension at all.

After seeing Russell's expression now, Irene continued: "I have never been exposed to magic before, so this is just what I said casually, and I don't know if it is right."

"No, it's not a question of right or wrong."

"It's a good thing that you have such an idea. At least you don't think magic is a field that science hasn't studied yet."

"In terms you can understand, magic is indeed the use of certain rules."

"Although this is not a rule within the scope of science, magic also needs to follow certain rules~lightnovelpub.net~ As for the preparations you need to make before learning magic, I can tell you right now."

"Just like learning other knowledge, if you want to learn magic, you must have a fairly good brain."

"In addition, if you want to learn magic, you must have the potential to awaken magic power."

"If you can't awaken the magic power, no matter how much magic knowledge you have, you can't become a real mage."

Russell looked at Irene and said seriously.

"Then how can I know if I have the potential to awaken magic power?"

Erin asked again.

"It's very simple, just let me check it for you."

Russell's expression became extremely serious.
