Chapter 169: I Want to Ask You to Borrow a Thing
Charles bought the gifts and called a rental carriage, and Mira asked the coachman to go east.
The size of this island is not small, and if you want to walk, you will have to die of exhaustion. So there are horse-drawn rental carriages on the island, and there are passenger boats pulling people in the creek.
The westernmost part of the island is the port area, followed by the business district in the middle, and the college district in the easternmost part.
Mira, who had been here for a few months, enthusiastically told Charles and them everything she had seen along the way.
The carriage soon came to the island's freshwater lake, more than two kilometers in diameter, which is the heart of the college district and the largest source of fresh water on the island within a radius of nearly 30 kilometers.
At this time, the college had just been out for a short time, and there were many students on the road by the lake.
Charles and Artoria soon found the lake interesting, and Mira explains, "Not long ago, the god of souls and dreams came down here, and he built a soul battlefield on the lake. ”
Charles knew that this was a platform that Reimu had made before going out to fight in a specially crafted dream world, and now several sets of battles were projected on the lake.
The most important thing is that someone has some administrative rights to the platform, including but not limited to interstitial ads.
At this time, Charles remembered something, and he asked Mira: "Sister, after the New Year, Artoria will come here to find a job, and Mordred will come with her, is it easy to find a house here?"
Mira shook her head, "I don't know, I only know that it's hard to find a house in the college district, but there are many houses for rent at the junction of the commercial street and the college district we passed by just now, if you need it, you can go to the tavern and ask." ”
Charles nodded, a well-informed place like a tavern often acts as an intermediary.
Artoria then said, "I think I'll take advantage of the time to settle down on Marcy in the next two days, and she'll need a place to stay during this time." ”
Speaking of Aunt Marcy, Charles remembered one more thing, "Sister, is there a training class for training midwives in your college?"
"Yes," Mira replied, "there is a two-year training course that starts after the New Year." ”
Then she asked, "Who is Marcy?"
"It's Artoria's sister, and she takes good care of me. Charles replied, "She used to be an adventurer, and she plans to pursue a promising career as a midwife." And her son is also at her grandmother's college. ”
Hearing that the other party took good care of her brother, Mira said: "This year's registration time is almost over, but I can go to Mama Michelle in the past two days, and she still gives me a little face." ”
Then she asked, "What about Mordred?"
Mordred suddenly looked a little nervous when she heard Mila talk about herself.
Charles communicated with Artoria about her arrangement, and he said, "I want to trouble my grandmother about this." ”
As the child of the titular vassals of the Charles family, it was easy for Charles to ask his grandmother to help him enroll in the Wudaokou School of Magic and Technology.
Artoria looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain today." ”
"Huh?" Mira wondered, "how do you know it's going to rain here at noon?"
Artoria smiled and said, "I've been here for a while many years. ”
Mira looked curiously at the knight whom her brother had "found in the woods", and she always felt that this knight was not simple, and that the knight's daughter was a little strange and seemed to be very timid.
Guided by Mira, the coachman drove the carriage through the side door of an academy, came to the family quarters, and stopped in front of a small three-story building. So far, Mira has not told Charles who he will be visiting today, but Charles already has a guess in his mind.
The courtyard around the small building was enclosed by a wall of elderberries nearly two meters high, and Mira was familiar with the place, so she took out the key and opened the gate and walked in.
Outside, Charles heard the sound of wielding a weapon, and when he entered the courtyard, a knight with blond hair like a lion was practicing his sword.
In an instant, two momentum suddenly exploded in the courtyard.
Charles pulled Mira and Modre aside and watched as Artoria confronted the knight.
Ten seconds later, the two were out of battle, and Artoria was satisfied and said to the blonde knight, "You're very good. ”
The blonde knight's eyes were full of longing for a fight, and he said, "I look forward to fighting your Excellency." ”
"There's a chance. Artoria nodded.
"Uncle Rhine. Mira stepped forward to introduce the others.
Charles felt like he had a toothache because he had put the knight's three daughters in prison.
But Rhein didn't care.
When Mira led Charles and them to the door of the house, the owner of the house had already come and opened the door.
A blonde girl about the same age as Charles greeted him and said, "Yo, here, come in." Mira has been talking about you coming over for a long time. ”
At this time, Mira interjected on the side, and she said to Charles: "After Diana knew that you were coming, she also talked about you a lot. ”
"Here's to you. Charles shoved the fruit basket into Diana's hand and asked, "Why did you dye your hair?"
"It's a long story, but I'll take it when I have time. Diana led the guests into the house with a basket of fruits, and then into the living room, "Come in, everyone, and get ready to eat." ”
Charles asked, "You bought this house?"
"yes. Diana replied, "I'll buy the sculptures when the money arrives, and I'll pay for fifty years, with interest first and principal later." ”
Charles was a little speechless, fifty years later, she would still be in this world, and when the time came, she would run back, and the only person who took out the loan would have to go back to this house.
In the living room, Charles found Linda and her three sisters of the War Law Pastor also here, chatting while flipping through the books that looked like atlases.
After Charles introduced Artoria and Mordred, Diana pulled Charles to the couch next to him and sat down.
Several people around looked at Charles and Diana curiously, with a little ambiguous smile on their faces.
When Charles was seated, Diana said to him, "I want to ask you to borrow something, and you will not hesitate." ”
Ru said, "What do you want?"
Diana said, "I want to borrow your head to test whether our friendship is strong." ”
After saying that, a brick with the words "May our friendship be as unbreakable as this brick" appeared in Diana's hand.
