Chapter 45: The Academy (II)

"Hurry up, hurry up!" A night of hangover, and a greedy drink at noon, caused Charlie to be still half-drunk and half-awake. But he still shouted and ordered Andrew to go to work, and sent the people who held the goods. Only the two of them were left in the warehouse.

"Ahem..., there's so much dust in there. Do you still want to do it, kid? The man cursed, and Andrew manipulated the robotic arm to load and unload the goods from the truck, ignoring Charlie's complaints. Although Charlie is rude and always punches himself, Andrew sometimes feels sorry for this man, to be precise, both of them are weak people who are struggling at the bottom. In order to make a living, in order to see the uptown, Charlie came here to do these dirty jobs, and as a result, his body collapsed, and he could only drink to kill his sorrows. And he was still terrified about whether he could keep his job.

In fact, if this man doesn't drink so much alcohol sometimes, Andrew won't be too disgusted, after all, he can settle down here now because of his help. In fact, everyone is not bad in nature, but it is difficult to ensure that they have a good character in the world of a big sauce vat.

Andrew once read a book in which the author once wrote: "This is the best of times, this is the worst of times, this is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity; This is the time of faith, this is the time of doubt; This is the season of light, this is the season of darkness; This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment; There are all kinds of things in front of people, and there is nothing in front of them; People are going straight to heaven; People are going straight to hell. 】

In this new era, everyone at the top and at the bottom has felt the change of the times. But when the lights are shining in the city, there are only sporadic candles in the countryside at night. Steam locomotives connected the vast lands, steamboats crossed the oceans, and farmers had to drive horse-drawn wagons to distant places to catch markets.

The era is always that era, but there are people who are going straight to heaven; Some people are going straight to hell.

Where there is light in this world, there must be darkness, and no one can change this. And like Charlie and Andrew themselves, they are only the weaklings of the world, and they have to fight hard for even the land of the cone.

"Be careful not to break it, or you won't be able to afford it for your life!" Andrew's thoughts were interrupted by the man's drunken screams. In fact, Charlie didn't know anything about machinery, let alone maintaining and debugging these cranes for loading and unloading goods. He only pointed fingers for his own presence, but he never thought about how a person in the lower city could operate such a machine.

Andrew ignored the drunken man, but looked at the goods he was loading and unloading, no one cared for them, but that didn't mean they were worthless, the huge and sophisticated safes were enough to show the importance of the contents inside. I'm afraid that even artillery can't destroy these safes, so there is no need for their owners to send someone to protect them.

Andrew kept an eye out for the heavy cargo to be unloaded into the warehouse.

"Give me an extra shift, get the jack tuned and send it back to another warehouse. Remember to maintain it, it must be oiled, you know? Charlie was giving orders again, closing the door of the warehouse, and then going out again without doing anything.

After working for a long time, Andrew's previous fatigue was swept away, he started the crane and returned to the garage, Charlie's so-called maintenance is completely a layman, how can there be a reason to oil every day, slightly debugged the instrument, Andrew closed the warehouse door and did not care about Charlie's overtime required in order to embarrass him.

Andrew looked at the sky, it was already evening at this time, and he still had half a piece of bread left over from noon in his arms. Andrew didn't dislike it, so he went to rest on a fallen tree in the grove next to the warehouse.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Andrew pulled out a thin booklet from his bosom. It is true that he is from the lower city, but that does not mean that he is illiterate, although he can't remember clearly, Andrew can still vaguely remember the warm and harmonious home he lived in ten years ago. Although middle-class, Andrew's family was a scholarly family, inheriting the Herodian tradition of scholarship until the Crusaders destroyed it.

The Great Age of Machines brought light to the West, but cruel darkness to the East.

Despite living in Downtown for several years, Andrew was still an avid reader, so much so that he always carried a blank notebook with him, and occasionally borrowed a book and copied some of the contents. This habit was also brought to him here, and although he couldn't go into the library, he had a secret way to borrow it.

While munching on bread, Andrew flipped through the classical verses copied from the pamphlet, completely oblivious to time and everything around him.

"Long time no see, Andrew!" A sudden greeting pulls Andrew back from his immersion. Once Andrew reads the book, it was hard to come back to his senses, not because of anything else, but because of the familiar voice. Although we hadn't seen each other for a long time, he still heard it all at once!

"yes, it's been a long time!" Andrew slipped the pamphlet in his hand and muttered.

Constance Dante appeared in front of Andrew, and he could only sigh: "It's been almost two or three years." ”

"It's been two years, three months, and fifteen days, and I've been waiting to see you once and for a while since that goodbye. His Royal Highness Justine. Andrew's voice trembled.

"Now my name is Cons Dante." Constance Dante calmly looked at Andrew's thin appearance worse than in Findel, "You're all doing this because of me!" I didn't expect you to actually do what you said. Originally, Constance Dante didn't have much hope of finding him, but Andrew really got into the Imperial Seminary.

"Of course, the men of the Pizar family will always keep their word, and since they promised you, Your Highness, they will never break their promises." At this time, it turned out that the thin young man of Mu Ne was like a wounded lion at this time, full of aggression.

"And if it weren't for Your Highness, I would have died a long time ago."

"It doesn't need to be like this, everyone's life belongs to them. Also, in the future, just call me Constance Dante, whether in public or private. "Reunited after a long absence, the two young people did not reminisce about the past, and they did not need to reminisce.

There seemed to be a fire burning in Andrew's eyes, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" He knew that he was also waiting for the day when he could fight as a pawn buried by Constance Dante.

"You should know it's dangerous, if you want to, come with me." Constance Dante said indifferently and turned away.

"Where to go?" "Go to dinner first, and you don't look at what time it is."
