21 Privileges
"It's decided, Eve. Surrounded by the afternoon sun on the outside of Weston College's middle school in the southwest of the West End, Lydia pulled Eve and asked. She looked a little disappointed because this was not Parker Elementary, it was on the West End. I remember that when she first came to Barton, Eve decided to go to school in the North End, wanting to contact wizards in the North End and study the knowledge of changing the laws of the world, but now she has obviously given up.
"It's decided. Eve looked at the school gate, "Alpha warned me about Barton's wizards, plus Yuehua and Baiying have already given me what I want yesterday, and I don't need to go to the North End. ”
Today is Tuesday, and yesterday was the day Alice and the others went to help Lola in the North End. It seems that in addition to Alice's chance encounter with Ms. West at community college, the conversation between the Black Witch and Reimer has also progressed.
"I'm not sure yet. Lydia pursed her lips, her disappointment was understandable, if Eve went to school in the North End, she would have more opportunities to contact with Barton's political elite, in the West End, after all, she was still under the family's noses, and there was less freedom, but she was obviously not ready to say her own thoughts, "The two black witches only said that the research notes of the enchantment were with Alice, and they had the opportunity to read them, but they didn't say that they wanted to give it to us, so that you could learn." ”
"That's enough. Eve also frowned, obviously trying to persuade herself, "Didn't you notice Alice's attitude yesterday, I tried to discuss the issue of Kraken and Boysen with Remer's equal position on Alpha, but she kept dodging, saying that Alpha was just informing us of the news, and didn't care what he was going to do. ”
Lydia pursed her lips, a little unhappy, "So Alpha is not sincere in cooperating with us at all." ”
"Yes, he doesn't want to show any signs that he needs our help or wants to help us. Eve shook her head, "The night before yesterday." My hesitation is also the reason, I don't know what this alpha wants, after I have already shown enough sincerity in a low profile, but I still can't get the sincerity of the other party. I feel powerless, the burden of Reimer's future makes me too ......"
"Eve!" Lydia interrupted just in time. "You've done a great job. She pursed her lips, a little remorseful, "Flender and I were only thinking that it would be good for us Remer, and we both ignored it, but you thought about it, you are a good leader, don't think about it." ”
Eve took Lydia's hand tightly, and a little smile appeared on her delicate face, "Okay. We were lucky. Maybe Alpha and her witch have this attitude of keeping a distance from us Remer, but fortunately, there are Yuehua and Hundred Shadows, although I don't know if they will help in the future, but for now, they can at least act as a bridge between us and Alpha, and you can also see that Alice needs the education of adult black witches. Let's take our time. ”
"Yes. Lydia smiled as well, "At least we've solved the problem of communication channels." (You can't mess with Smith Manor.) Reimer's communication with Alpha requires other means) Lydia raised an eyebrow, "That magic of the moonflower." Will you?"
Eve smiled, "Of course you will, but you're wrong, the witchcraft they use, we use is called magic." ”
"Hehe, is there only a difference between the user?"
"Yes. Eve's mood seemed to have completely relaxed. Pulling Lydia into the school gate, "No, in terms of transmogrification, it's more about magic, and it's the technology we brought to this land. Infuse the physical object. Preserving and manipulating it is a witchcraft that was born in this land in the first place. Hehe, but after four centuries, there is no clear distinction between witchcraft and magic, and it can only be distinguished by the user. ”
Lydia could only listen to Eve's teachings, and at the same time noticed two parked cars beside her, and the people who got out of the car were Cody of the Fisher family and Charlotte of the Falken family.
At the beginning of the new semester, everyone has come to report.
Charlotte saw Eve and Lydia and ran over first, naturally, followed by the young man who was the driver and security guard, we didn't know each other.
"Eve, are you here too?" said Charlotte, "I thought you were in the fifth grade (elementary school)." But immediately she smiled and shook her head, "Actually, I think you can go straight to high school!"
It seems that Eve's inadvertently display of versatility in the nursery has completely conquered these children of the same generation.
"I wanted to, too, but my mother wouldn't let me. Eve replied with a smile, casually throwing away Lydia's hand, giving a roll of the eyes that did not fit on that delicate little face, and grabbed Charlotte who came running.
Lydia was speechless, she repeatedly told Eve to act like a little girl, but a good mother can't allow her child's conversation to exclude herself, right, so Lydia still joined, "What's wrong with Cody?" Lidia looked at Cody, who got out of the car at the same time, but didn't want to come over to say hello, and rushed directly to the reporting area with a gloomy face, and the man behind him hurriedly locked the car door and trotted behind him.
Charlotte glanced at Cordy and pursed her lips, feeling a little lower, "Today is Lang's funeral, and it should be going on now, but Mr. Fisher won't let him go, and he has arranged for a new person to follow him, and he's angry." ”
"Today?" Eve was a little surprised, "Didn't you find the body just the day before yesterday?...... how did the funeral go so quickly" Although I know that Lang's funeral will be in Grande, it is normal that the funeral of the people in the West End will be the first choice in the funeral of Grande, after all, Lang is Cody's personal person. But this does not mean that the funeral will be held in such a hurry.
When Charlotte's face turned pale instantly, Lydia gently patted Eve's back, and the little girl casually said the word 'corpse'!
Eve immediately realized, "I'm sorry, I don't know Lang. "It means that Eve doesn't know how to describe this lifeless thing other than the objective word 'corpse'.
"No, it doesn't matter. Charlotte shook her head, "We always ride Lola's car to the nursery, it's normal that you don't know each other. Without warning, Charlotte looked back at the young man (the driver) behind her, "He's xx my driver, xx this is Eve Smith." ”
Does anyone want the people around them to be called corpses, even if they are dead. Not really.
Evie nodded politely like a new acquaintance, but fortunately it was not the old social etiquette, and Lydia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright!" Charlotte shook her head, readjusting her mood and revealing a smile that the little girl was able to make, "It's not locked in here." By the way, Eve, what grade are you going to go to?"
"It's not decided yet. "I made an appointment with the school for an assessment test, and after the assessment, I would find out which grade Eve was more suitable for." ”
"Huh?" Charlotte blinked, "Are you taking exams before you go to school? ”
Eve just smiled.
"Where is the test? I'll accompany you. Charlotte waved her hand casually. "Sherlock is also reporting for duty, so I don't need to accompany him, and I don't have anything to do. ”
"No need. Eve was very caring, looking at the crowded flow of people outside the registration area, children and adults meandering in a line, "It looks like there are a lot of people over there, you will probably have to wait in line for a long time, the test is nothing to me." ”
"Wait?" Charlotte blinked, "Queue?" Her eyes were clearly on the winding line. "Well, I didn't stand in line. "We don't need to stand in line." "Again, state," this is the West End. ”
Before Eve was still thinking about what this meant, Charlotte had already grabbed Eve's arm again, "Let's go, you can come here whenever you want, and accompany you to the exam! It's just fine, and then you'll be in the same grade as me. We can be classmates, oh, and Koudy......"
Riot.
"What for!!" came from Kordy, "why let you!!You came first!!!"
The little boy's shout came from the winding procession to this side, attracting everyone's attention.
"Less, young master......" The young man he didn't know stood beside Cody in embarrassment. Trying to persuade.
Useless. Instead, it is igniting the upper body.
"Who's your young master!" Cody stared at the young man trying to persuade him, "I don't know you!
"I, I ......"
"What are you!go away!" Cordy was a difficult young master to please, "Come back!
It's very hard to please-
Cody, who had taken over the folder that had been organized, stared at the people who had begun to disrupt the queue and get out of the way. "What are you doing?!Let what?! I'm going to line up! Don't give way to me!!"
The crowd in a dilemma didn't have to be embarrassed, because from inside the building, an adult in the image of a teacher stepped out and walked towards Codi.
The other man only had time to give a smile, bend closer, or interpret it as just trying to talk to Kordy on the same level. I haven't been able to say a word yet.
"What are you doing here!" Curdy cried out at a smiling face who had just approached, "Don't you have to work?!
The smile stiffened, "Yes, there's that teacher working in it, I, hehe, I'm here to handle Mr. Fisher's registration......"
"Cody!!!" Cody waved his hand, "Call me Cody! If you want to call me Mr. Fisher, you have to listen to me! Isn't this what all of you are used to!Listen to that Mr. Fischer (father)!!But you listened (me)?!I said I'm going to line up! What do you mean by coming out! Let me embarrass Mr. Fischer if you're so hypocritical, just call me Cody!"
Eve here glanced at Lydia, a reminder. Cody's agitated rhetoric should be understood, please combine it with what he said about the nature of the West End when he persuaded Benjamin to accept the commission, after all, Cody is just a child, and Fisher's concern about Zach is correct. No matter how different the West End kids are in front of Benjamin, it's just a kid.
This is where a West End adult intervenes.
Lydia frowned and walked in that direction. Even though Lydia, as Smith's sister who returned from traveling around the Federation, has not yet received a trace of the real rights of the Westsider, she is at least an adult of the Westside family.
"Fisher first...... Cordy ...... "The teacher who came out was supposed to be a school administrator, and his gaze turned unnaturally to the young man next to Cordy, and then he made a 'fatal' mistake, "Long, what is wrong with Cordy today...... Uh, you're not Lang, you're ......"
"Lang is dead!!" Cordy shouted! "Lang is dead!!"
Everyone's faces were hard to look at.
"It's dead!!" Cordy continued to shout, "It's Lang's funeral!!"
"Cody!" Lydia's original walk turned into a trot, "Cody!"
Instinctively turning around, Kodi's flushed face wrinkled like ******, and the wet marks began to drag the tangled and twisted face, "Leih, Lydia......"
Lydia glanced at the teacher with an ugly face, waved her hand, and motioned for her to hurry up, and she would deal with it. At the same time, he continued to run towards Codi, "Cody, shall we go over there and rest?" ”
"No, I don't ......" Koudi finally stopped shouting, couldn't shout, and was cut off by the sobbing inhale, "I, I want to register......"
"Then I'll ...... first," the teacher reached out, trying to reach for the folder that Cody was holding on his chest. Hey, this teacher should listen to Lydia.
"I'm going to line up!!" Koudy's snot definitely landed in this guy's face, "Why, why should I go first!!, why, for, I, let, these, people, etc.!"
The momentum is gone, but the words are still impossible to respond.
Lydia had already run closer, pulled Kordy by, and frowned at the teacher wiping his face, "You go back, I'll bring him in a moment." ”
Charlotte didn't seem to reflect what was going on from the beginning, and only then did she stiffen beside Eve, pulling Eve and running in the direction of Cody, "Eve!
Lydia, who had just been dragged by Cody halfway through, raised her hand, changed direction, ran back to the car, opened the door, and waited for someone to come.
"Stay outside. Lydia explained that Cody's new driver, who was still ugly, and Charlotte's driver, pushed Cody into the car, but fortunately, the two daughters inside were also cooperating to pull Cody inside, otherwise it would not be so easy. Cody is fat, don't forget.
"Cody! what's the matter with you!" Charlotte, who was the first to get excited in the car, asked while pulling a tissue and throwing it at Cody, who looked really embarrassed, "Why don't you just sign up! What are you doing? I know you're upset because of Lang, but what does it have to do with queuing! You're insane!"
Cody took the tissue, it was useless, his lowered head suddenly raised, his face was really grim, "Charlotte, you stupid--!"
"What are you talking about!" Everyone knows that girls develop earlier than boys, although it is also the stage of junior high school, but it is just the stage that these two people are in. So Charlotte's sudden rise from the seat was still terrifying! Fortunately, Eves pulled it.
"Do you think it's okay! Charlotte, why do you think we're so privileged in the West End?
Nonsense.
"What's wrong with the privileges! The privileges have something to do with your nerves here......"
"Do you like the North End in Capler's mouth?!Do you know why?!"
"Yes and what! I didn't say ......."
"Then how can you still like this West End!!" Cody's momentum returned, glaring at the girl his own age, completely ignoring that Lydia, an adult of the West End, was also here, "Is the family's privilege useful?!Is it ours?!The privilege is for our father and mother!We don't have anything!"
"You're talking nonsense, wait until we grow up......"
"But we haven't grown up yet!!Privilege is fake for us as children!The ordinary free life of North Side High School is real!!So we like it when we hear it!!Because we all know it's fake!!Fake!"
"Really!" Charlotte clenched her fists, her mind probably confused, "we don't need to queue......"
"Are you satisfied?!No need to stand in line?!If your xx (Charlotte's driver) dies, can you use your privilege of not having to wait in line to get the police to find the truth?!?
The paper towel was thrown on the saddle, "So I don't want these things that are not mine! What priority, what privileges!
Probably nothing to do with what was happening in the car, Eve looked at the tissues that Cody had discarded and pursed her lips. (To be continued.) )
