The road traveled by 1014
"Look! This Norma Collier ...... I've heard of him too. Looking at the newspaper that had just been delivered to his office, the eye-catching text on the front page, Benjamin, who was already the most popular teacher in this school, said to the old man next to her.
The old man squinted his eyes, held the reading glasses from the north with his hand, and barely read the small text on them: "He used to help us......"
This old man, who was also a teacher, was Benjamin's teacher, a declining little aristocrat. He was once the wisest and most cultured elder in Benjamin's town, and a philanthropist.
When the demons invaded, he scattered all his wealth to help the people of the town flee, and even sold his own house.
However, he survived the plague and the demons, and was defeated by his apprentice, Benjamin Ethal, the prettiest female teacher in the town.
"I think that since the newspapers say that he is a war criminal, then he must have done something bad." Benjamin poured his teacher a cup of hot tea and corked the thermos back on.
The more she uses these utensils, the more she is used to them, these products from industrial civilization have changed everyone's lives.
Even such a small detail can make people feel that kind of joyful convenience. This is a feeling that has never appeared in life before, a feeling that makes people yearn for life.
"You're right...... Child. Although the Norma Empire once took in many refugees when the demons invaded, it is said that the royal family of the Norma Empire tried in vain to steal nuclear weapons and start a war with our country...... This is not right......" the old man said, pointing to the small print in the newspaper and to his students.
"I love it here!" The old man took off his glasses, and then carefully wiped the reading glasses that were very useful to him with a piece of skin from an unknown animal.
Ever since Mr. Benjamin applied and someone actually sent the glasses, the old man has taken great care of the reading glasses, which are not very valuable.
"At least, I see hope." As he spoke, he wrapped his glasses in leather and put them back in the case: "I have lived to be 67 years old, and this is the first time I have seen Your Excellency the Archon who works so well for the people. β
The consul he said was the consul in this town, and this young magician had done a lot of good things for the whole town, of course, these good deeds were actually arranged from above, and they had to be completed.
Each consul was tasked with building roads, building schools, opening small factories, and housing refugees and providing them with jobs.
If they are in trouble, the local garrison will help, and if they need more help, someone will approve it and send someone to help with it......
In short, this place is very similar to the beginning of the rise of the Orchid Hill Empire, everyone is flexible and desperate to complete all the work in front of them for a better life.
"At least our school is what you hoped it would be, teacher." Benjamin himself picked up the glass of water and took a sip, the long dress on her body looked good and was new.
As time went on, donations from the north to the south began to change, with old clothes starting to decrease and new clothes starting to increase. Moreover, some more expensive daily necessities have also begun to pour into the southern region in large quantities.
At first, there were radios, thermoses, plates, and chopsticks using batteries...... Now some new and strange things have begun to appear: iron tools that were rarely seen among civilians in the past, books that were extremely expensive in the past, and even some motorcycles and automobiles......
Benjamin's school has also changed dramatically. The original playground has been leveled and the surrounding courtyard walls have been renovated.
The soil in the flower beds has been renovated, spring is approaching, and this place will definitely look like a flower cluster in the future.
The windows of the classrooms have been replaced with crystal clear glass, and the army helped to enlarge the original windows, and then repaired them with quick-drying cement to make the classrooms more spacious and bright.
Every classroom has a new blackboard, and the desks, chairs and benches have been replaced with "good things" with uniform specifications.
Everyone cherishes these brand-new desks, and naturally no students boredly carve a morning word on themβafter all, there is no such text in the textbooks of the other world, and no child is similarly "inspired".
In short, this is a new world, a world that people cherish and deserve to cherish. People living in this world have unprecedented peace of mind, they are willing to protect everything in front of them, and they are willing to leave all the good things to this world!
"Yes, kids can learn useful knowledge, not red tape. Everyone can know the world, understand the world, and explore the world......" The old man smiled on his face: "This is my long-cherished wish, and now someone has helped me complete it." β
He looked through the window in the direction of the consul's residence: "Still a young man younger than my grandsons. β
At the mention of his grandson, the old man's eyes showed obvious sadness - not everyone survived the disaster, and those who were alive always had to bear more pain.
"Every time I see the Archon, I think if my juniors can be so good...... My life is worth it......" The old man sighed, picked up the teacup in his hand, and took a sip of hot tea: "Fortunately...... You're alive, Ishal. β
Benjamin comforted: "Teacher! β¦β¦ Robin hasn't been found yet, and we can't give up hope! β
"I know, I know, but I don't know how to face him! He gave little Ike to me, but I didn't take good care of him...... I didn't take good care of my grandchildren. The old man bowed his head reproachfully and wiped the tears from his face with his hands.
"Brother Robin will forgive you! Teacher! Benjamin continued to comfort: "Things will always get better, just like the life we have in front of us. β
"Sometimes when I open my eyes at night, I feel resentful...... I love my country now, and I deserve to love it with my life...... But, I hate ...... Why didn't they come to our rescue sooner? If His Majesty Chris could have been a year earlier...... Even if you are born in this world in six months, then, how good would that be? The old man's complaining voice made Benjamin's eyes red.
There are too many unsatisfactory things in this world, even if you have seen the other side of happiness, you can still think of so much pain and sorrow...... However, life still has to go on after all, and life is still life. No one can stay where they are, because time pushes everyone forward, in a hurry, and it is too late to even look back and take a look at the rough road they have walked......
