Chapter 2: The Land of Herod (I)

"Sophia, how are you..." Under the light of the setting sun, Sophia's figure was a little hazy in Constance Dante's vision. The surprised Constance, Dante was a little speechless.

Before she could react, Sophia had already thrown herself into Constance Dante's arms.

Sophia was still as unspeakable as ever, but Constance Dante could still feel his petite body trembling in his arms.

Still like a kitten. Constance Dante chuckled and touched his sister's head dotingly.

"Aren't you at school? How did you get back. Constance Dante wondered. The Imperial Seminary has always been a boarding system, even for the prince's disciples.

Σκ?ψη

In the hands of Constance Dante, Sophia wrote this word of Herod with her fingers.

Miss!

Or the sister who relies on her useless brother.

Fortunately, the academy still allows students to leave the school, and as long as Sophia can go back on time, she will not be punished. Constance Dante thought with relief, suddenly realized something, and quickly pushed Sophia away, and then he remembered that he was full of unwashable engine oil.

"Scared, I'm dying of thirst. Boy, are you going to hang your uncle here? Uncle Nikita yelled again, and turned his head to look.

The blurred gaze gradually converged on the white figure.

"Uh, am I dazzled? Sophia girl! Nikita's wine suddenly dissipated, and she stood up with a sneer. Although this little ancestor usually doesn't speak, as long as she gets involved with her brother, this Nizi will become wilted. At the beginning, when the brother and sister first moved in, Nikita didn't know how to make a joke about Cons Dante, and was stunned by this harmless little girl.

"Oops, Constance Dante. I suddenly remembered that I wouldn't bother you if there was something at home, so I went back first. Nikita remembered the tragic scene when she was tricked into an alley by Sophia's silence and bumped into the slum gangsters, and her heart was furious, and she wanted to run away.

"Uncle Nikita, you haven't got your mechanical watch yet! You wait first. Seeing Nikita preparing to leave, Constance Dante stopped him.

Nikita is too late to hide, where do you dare to stay longer. "No, I'll come back next time." After saying that, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.

Seeing Uncle Nikita's panicked appearance, Constance Dante also thought it was funny. "Looks like Nikita was scared of you." Constance Dante looked at his sister and smiled.

Sophia suddenly ran to the door, there was a schoolbag lying on the ground, Sophia opened the schoolbag and took out a thick gilded book from inside, obviously expensive. Sophia handed the book to Constance Dante.

"This is..." Concierge, Dante, who saw this gorgeous book, couldn't help but light up in his eyes. This is clearly that book. The moment he saw the cover, Consei-Dante was ecstatic - it was "The Encyclopedia of Machinery". Although it is a work of mechanics written twenty years ago, its value is unmatched by many books. However, in the turmoil of ten years ago, this book was scattered, and I did not expect it to be in the library of the Imperial Seminary.

Suddenly, it occurred to Constance Dante that something was wrong. Shocked into a cold sweat, she looked at her harmless sister for a while before saying, "How can you bring out the books from the library." ”

"My brother wants to see it, so I'll bring it out." Sophia, who didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, replied. This is a girl who does not understand the world, but Constance Dante cannot blame her, because he has an unshirkable responsibility for his sister to become like this.

"Hmph, here." A harsh and arrogant voice, very uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, it's a pariah, even if you enter the Imperial Seminary, it's hard to change your nature." In front of the mechanical shop was standing a noble lady.

It was the daughter of the Duke, Granny Andrews, who had previously been in trouble with Sophia.

"How dare you steal a precious book that belongs to the kingdom." Behind her, several tall attendants stood in front of the door, ill-intentioned.

Consei's face sank, "Please pay attention to your words, Mademoiselle. I regret what Sophia did, but my sister didn't have any ill will. ”

"Isn't stealing a shameful evil? Herodians. The sneering Granny said that as long as this matter is exposed, then not to mention the scholarship, Sophia will not even have the qualifications to stay in the academy.

"I can explain this." Constance Dante wanted to plead, but Granny didn't want to hear it.

"Maybe the warden will be happy to hear your arguments." Miss Granny's attendants pressed forward. "Hurry up and get it over, the air in Downtown is disgusting."

"Yes, you're not welcome in Downtown." A gruff voice rang out. Before the two squires could react, two thick arms grabbed them by the collars.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", the two attendants fainted with black eyes.

"Uncle Nikita!" Cons-Dante cried out in surprise, and it was Uncle Nikita, who was always drunk. Usually he is always curled up so that people ignore that this man is one meter nine tall and is a burly man.

"Hehe, I'm indispensable at this time. Without you here, we wouldn't have anyone here to tinker. So no one dares to touch you in Findel. Not to mention just some Rastin pigs. Nikita said, shaking her fist.

"You... presumptuous, you lowly Herod." Granny didn't expect this place where inferior people lived to be so bold.

"Looks like you've forgotten, Rastin. Ten years ago, the blood of the Herod did not dry up under your butcher's knife. It is not your false prosperity that can cover up your past sins. Nikita's weathered face showed a rare sneer, undaunted. A large, powerful hand slammed into Granny's slender neck.

"Ahem... kill him! Ahem... Let go of me. Suddenly restrained, Granny was horrified, she never expected this Herod pariah to behave like this.

With the sound of a "click" of the short gun being loaded, the attendants aimed their guns at Nikita, who would have been beaten into a sieve if it weren't for the rat thrower.

"Uncle Nikita! Don't be impulsive. Constance Dante was also shocked. If something goes wrong, the consequences of offending a nobleman are unimaginable.

Nikita, however, seemed calm, "You can try." I will die, but you will not get out alive. At this time, the inhabitants who followed the sound gathered more and more, and when they saw the Rastine nobles, the dissatisfaction of the Herod people became more and more serious.

"Ahem, are you all dead?" Granny clearly didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and was still screaming. But the squires weren't so stupid, and the muzzles of their guns slowly fell.

"This is the land of Herod, the country of Herod. Even if you Lastines steal our home, one day, we'll take it back. Nikita didn't hide it, letting go of the hand that was holding Granny's neck and drank.

"Get out, Rastine!"
