Midland, somewhere in the countryside.

There was a large house in which lived an old man of great learning and great respect.

The old man's name was Diggory Kirk.

The old man was accompanied by a lady named McCreadie.

The clouds of war have not yet spread to the village, but the instability of the situation has made most of Britain nervous.

Most of the people who are under the clouds of war desperately want to leave, so that they can get out of danger as much as possible. Even if you can't leave, you will send your children to a safe place.

Villages and other remote places that have not yet been affected by the war have naturally become places where people gather.

The cloudy sky was filled with wisps of rain.

A carriage stopped in front of Old Professor Diggory's house.

A young-looking, well-dressed young man stepped out of the carriage, walked straight to the door of the house, and rang the doorbell.

"Ms. McCneaty?"

Looking at the woman who appeared in front of him, Tang Bai smiled calmly.

Ms. McCready, who appeared behind the door, was not young, with a stereotypical, cold, unkind face. The first impression of the whole person, in addition to being cold, is also arrogant and indifferent to rejecting people thousands of miles away. It doesn't feel like it's an easy person to get into.

"Mr. Bai-Tang?"

McCneaty looked at Tang Bai, his stereotypical face only changed slightly, and he said coldly and tentatively.

"Just call me Don."

Tang Bai spread out his hand a little helplessly, handed a sealed letter of introduction down the crack in the door, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"You're coming sooner than planned."

Ms. McCready rummaged through the envelope in her hand, glanced at Tang Bai, and after initially confirming her identity, she completely opened the door and welcomed Tang Bai in from the outside. Although he said it very respectfully, the expression on his face did not change, and he still maintained the sense of distance that no one should enter.

"Things are always full of uncertainties, aren't they? Being ahead of time is not a bad thing. ”

Tang Bai blinked, stretched out his finger and gestured to the coachman outside, and the coachman immediately trotted his salute all the way to Tang Bai's hand. Tang Bai's suitcase is not big, probably only slightly larger than a suitcase.

"This is the reward, please take it."

Tang Bai handed over a small denomination of pounds, and then took his suitcase.

"The professor is working, and if you want to see him, you'll have to wait until he's done. The professor didn't like anyone to bother him while he was working. ”

After Ms. McClid waited for Tang Bai to enter the room, she folded her palms holding the envelope and placed them on her abdomen, which was called inquiry, and said to Tang Bai as a reminder.

"I understand."

Tang Bai nodded approvingly.

"Then, please come with me and I will take you to your room. Please don't touch those crafts, they are all the professor's favorite. ”

Ms. McClid was very resolute in her work, and after Tang Bai came in, she didn't even say much polite words, and directly took Tang Bai to the upstairs guest room. Of course, along the way, it is indispensable to give Tang Bai guidance on aspects such as washing the bathroom, kitchen, how to call people, and so on.

Professor Diggory's house here is indeed quite a small area, with a lot of space and rooms. Ms. McClady's room for Tang Bai was spacious, with a large, fluffy bed, a matching table, chairs and sofas.

A verdant spider plant winds down from above, adding a touch of greenery and liveliness to the room.

In the corner of the wall stands a small bookcase full of books.

For his new bedroom, Tang Bai was not dissatisfied with it.

"Someone will come to inform you when you dine, and of course, you can also choose to eat alone in your room. The professor's meal time is always determined only after his work is over. ”

McClid obviously didn't mean to say anything to Tang Bai, after leading Tang Bai into the room, he dropped the last sentence, and after seeing that Tang Bai had no questions and the meaning of speaking, he directly said goodbye to him, closed the door for Tang Bai and left.

For Ms. McCreadie, who was a little distant and indifferent, Tang Bai didn't take it to heart. He wished that everyone in this room could be as indifferent to him as Ms. McCreadie. If he is too diligent, it will be difficult for Tang Bai to carry out his actions and plans.

Yes, Tang Bai spent a lot of time and energy to find this place, just to be able to find the magic wardrobe and enter the world of Narnia through it.
