Chapter 62 Studying medicine can't save the Jialan people
Three minutes later, the magic bell rang to represent the end of class.
Barely half a minute, the young and beautiful teacher Devin appeared in front of everyone with a heavy chest, because she was in such a hurry that she didn't have time to put down the book folder in her hand.
Seeing that Dridge's body was covered in blood, Mr. Devin's beautiful eyebrows suddenly twisted together.
"Mia, who, who caused Dridge to be so badly injured?"
She is loved by students not only because of her appearance, but also because of her maternal care.
"It's Barry."
Mu Yan only said this sentence and kept silent.
He chooses to talk less and let the other person think more.
As long as you've heard about that incident dozens of days ago, you're probably going to make up something for yourself at this time.
Sure enough, Teacher Devin's expression suddenly became gloomy, and when her gaze swept away, Barry turned his head stupidly.
"Mr. Taylor, will you handle this matter fairly?" She asked.
"As you wish, I will." Taylor nodded.
"In addition, I remember that Mr. Mu Yan's water magic attainments are not bad, right?" Devin raised his eyebrows and suddenly fired at Mu Yan, "Why don't you treat Dridge in time?" ”
"Uh......" Mu Yan didn't know how to answer for a while.
Thankfully, Judy rescued him at this time.
"To get Dridge treated more fairly, Mr. Devin." The girl suddenly said: "I hope there will be one more witness to this matter, after all, we have just experienced a hearing that is not fair at all." ”
Devin was speechless for a moment, and lowered his head silently.
The girl was right, they had just gone through a hearing that was almost impossible to win, and everyone was walking on thin ice and trembling at this time.
While Devin was treating Dridge, Judy suddenly came to Mu Yan.
"We need to talk, Mr. Mu Yan." The girl whispered.
Her tone was decisive, and she sounded a little angry, and she didn't even call him teacher as usual.
"Absolutely."
Mu Yan laid down an enchantment without a trace, blocking the voices of the two.
"I thank Derritch for your help, both before and now." Judy said, her voice trembling slightly, "But I hope you can give him the respect he deserves." ”
Mu Yan smiled noncommittally.
Sure enough, some of her actions disgusted the young lady—perhaps with the fright she had just received.
It was unknown whether Judy had come out of the panic of half a day ago, but he knew that this girl was braver and calmer than he had imagined, and even thoughtful.
Like Taylor, she also saw that this was a game, a game laid out by Mu Yan himself. It's just that I don't know if she counted what happened to the two outside the slums in this "game".
I hope not, in that case, Mu Yan's image would be too bad.
"You think I'm taking advantage of you and Dridge?" Mu Yan asked rhetorically.
"Obviously, sir." Judy bit her lip, trying to muster up as much courage as she could.
She was more afraid that the young teacher in front of her was also playing with a bad idea than Barry's blatant threat.
"Yes, obviously." Mu Yan shrugged, "But who doesn't use each other, not to mention that it doesn't hurt him, I solved the problem for him......"
"It's only been four months, sir." Judy looked up, her eyes red. "What's more, in four months, we will face even greater retaliation from Barry. Or maybe within four months, he'll let his men do that, and we'll never be able to escape.
"I know it would have been terrible without your help, but we can at least survive the humiliation, like Felwood's weeds, even if they are trampled on, they will not be uprooted. Now, however, I can't imagine what the future holds. ”
"You seem to have something to say, Miss Judy."
"Cooperation."
Judy spoke slowly but firmly, spitting out a word.
"Cooperation?"
"That's right, cooperation. Dridge may not have the consciousness to be used as a gunman, but I do. I know you're doing this for a purpose, and if we cooperate, things will go a lot better—
Mu Yan couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"Miss Judy, are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare, Teacher Mu Yan." The girl lowered her head in some trepidation, and her voice was slightly muffled.
"We are not ungrateful despicable people, but we are ...... I just want to gain the dignity of being a pawn, at the very least...... At the very least, make the suffering worthwhile, not to be toyed with...... I try my best to convince me that you have no ill intentions, but I'm scared now, very scared......"
Mu Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You are very good, Miss Judy." If it weren't for the fear that Dridge would be jealous, I would really like to rub your smart little brain. Rest assured, I'll tell you what I'm trying to do, and our collaboration doesn't stop there. When Dridge wakes up, you're going to tell him something like this......"
He made some explanations and left with peace of mind, he had other things to do.
As for this mess, it can now be completely handed over to Miss Judy.
After all, this is a trustworthy girl.
--------------------
On March 20th, in the northwest corner of Jialan Academy, some people call this place the Demon Pivot District, which means the center of magical power, and some people call it the source of gold, which means that gold flows out continuously.
There is a large building here, and at the outermost point is the Academy's laboratory for magical students, where all classes on magical experiments are conducted, and further down is the Alchemy Workshop and Enchantment Chamber, which belong to Kane's Horn.
As a well-known chamber of commerce that can stand on three legs in the Muma Plain with well-known chambers of commerce such as the Gilded Rose and the Jones Chamber of Commerce, Kane's Horn has established a deep cooperative relationship with the college as early as the early days of Jialan's founding. They provide a large amount of financial assistance to the Academy, and the Academy provides sufficient support for scholars and mage talents, and both parties are mutually beneficial and achieve a win-win situation.
The Jones Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Turing royal family, the gilded rose business network is all over Lokan, and the Cape of Kane is backed by mountains and water.
Therefore, it is said that the gilded rose is the ultimate form of the chamber of commerce, from the network that existed during the city-state period that allowed them to trade throughout the Plain of Horses. The Jones Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, is the ideal form of the Chamber of Commerce, and they have the support of the royal family.
As for the Cape of Kane...... It's a dream form.
No other chamber of commerce has so many mages and scholars, and this is Lokan's Silicon Valley.
However, the Horn of Kane was not the purpose of Mu Yan's party this time, they were looking for a small workshop hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the complex.
……
Squeak –
The wooden door, which was on the verge of falling off, was pushed open, and a smell of decay came to my face.
Dridge took a deep sniff, and the air was filled with the smell of ink and the strange smell of deteriorating paint.
The furnishings of the room were simple, with a few long tables, a few high stools, a printing press powered by magic crystals, and a square, ten-centimeter-thick spar slab next to it.
The board is a printing template that has fallen into disrepair, also the work of the alchemy workshop. As long as the mage with more than three rings infuses it with magic and writes words on the board with the corresponding elements, there will be a corresponding bump on it, and then the bump will be fixed and then applied with paint, and the simple printing can be carried out.
It's just that because it has not been activated for a long time, the sensitive material on the board loses its activity and no longer has such an effect.
"There's such a place in the academy?"
Judy stroked the board and muttered.
"But why did Barry's group build such a ......?"
She couldn't find the right words to describe it.
"Newspaper?" Mu Yan added. "That's probably what it means, a newspaper printing workshop."
"yes, why would they do that?" Judy asked.
Jialan has such a thing as the Magic Daily, which has been in charge of making and styling its hair for hundreds of years.
However, newspapers have so far been a pastime for the aristocracy, and mostly for the adult aristocracy.
For Jialan's students, they have a school-issued signal stone, which is equivalent to a pager, and naturally they don't need newspapers. For the people of the major empires, the way they learned about national affairs was usually through the magic light cards in the downtown area, which stood like a billboard, and the news from the royal family would be published on it every day, and the thing in the morning star was called "Daily Chronicle".
Compared with Jialan, Morningstar's centralization is more serious, where private newspapers and public opinion are not allowed to be manipulated, and violators will be punished in the name of treason, so "Magic Daily" has nothing to do with Jialan's royal family.
"Let's not talk about them yet, what's the use of us asking for this?"
Dridge couldn't help but ask.
That's what Mu Yantuo Judy told him. In a private settlement with Barry, in addition to asking for a trivial amount of medical expenses and mental damages, the main thing is to ask for such an abandoned newspaper office.
Barry looked at him like a fool, with a relieved smile.
Until today, before getting the contract, he and Judy were speculating about Mu Yan's purpose, but they never found anything. Nor did they find any information about the newspaper workshop.
Mu Yan didn't answer, he touched a broom casually, and the broom moved by itself and began to clean the house.
For a while, the dust was flying, he snapped his fingers, the window opened automatically, a breeze swept in, and the dust was swept out like a long snake.
"Is this 'spiritualism'?" Dridge asked.
"Hey, you know this?"
"Nonsense, do you think I cleaned the Xingyao Library?"
"That's right......" Mu Yan smiled and threw out another rag, which flew into the air and was soaked in a puddle of liquid that appeared out of thin air, and then wiped the three stools clean.
Mu Yan motioned for the two to sit down, and slowly spoke:
"The newspaper was built by Barry a few years ago, and the reason is ...... Since you were able to step up at that time and save the beauty as a hero, you naturally know Barry's competition game for the beginning of the school season, right? That's right, that slave girl competition. And this newspaper office was put forward by a few dog-legged people in order to make their masters have more fun. ”
"You mean for ...... Preaching that kind of thing? Dridge frowned.
"Yes, but not comprehensively, specifically propaganda and statistics." After a pause, Mu Yan continued: "It is difficult for people to understand each other, and you can't understand the brain circuits of that group of nobles. Maybe it's out of show-off, or maybe it's a demonstration, they think it's better to be as publicized as possible – only in their small circle, of course. So this newspaper came into being, and it was called 'The Naked Lamb'. ”
The malice behind the name was almost self-evident, and both listeners fell silent.
"The newspaper published in detail the height, weight, hair color, body size, and even the color and amount of hair on the private parts of each victim girl, that is, the 'prey'...... This data can be used by other participants to comment on or continue to 'pick up leftovers' with interest...... Each time, the winner would throw thousands of words to describe the pleasure he had, the screams and cries of pain, and so on...... And its beautiful name is 'riding perception', as a manifestation of honor. ”
"Enough, don't say any more."
Judy stopped, involuntarily squeezing Dridge's hand.
"Okay." Mu Yan also changed the topic. "Later, this matter was also stopped by the school, and they seem to realize that this kind of behavior is insulting to Jialan's glory and reputation, so it's normal for you not to know. But I think the main reason for the abandonment was that the nobles were bored - the internal self-esteem alone could no longer arouse their sexual interest, and they tried to let you know about the existence of the 'naked lambs', so they touched the nerves of the school and had to erect a high wall, so that the matter could only ferment in a small circle, and then gradually die out of itself......"
After a slight pause, Mu Yan said softly as if talking to himself: "Actually, I don't want the school to do this, I'm curious, if this matter is poked out, what will happen, will you explode in silence, or perish in silence, how will those students view the victimized girls, will they spurn, abuse, or pity and sympathy?" Scold...... I didn't even think anyone would be willing to save and protect them......"
Dridge lowered his head, he couldn't answer the question.
Or maybe he didn't want to answer.
"So...... What does Teacher Mu Yan want this newspaper to do? He asked.
Newspapers, of course! Mu Yan said in his heart, but he smiled on his face:
"A predecessor once said that all ignorant people, no matter how healthy and strong they are, can only be meaningless public display materials and spectators, and there is no need to think that they are unfortunate when they die of illness, the first thing is to change their spirit, and what is good at changing their spirit is, of course, to promote literature and art. The meaning of these words is that there are some people in the academy who are sick, and they are not lightly ill, but studying medicine can't save the Jialan people, their lesions are in their hearts and thoughts.
"Professor Daun is right, I was inspired by the story of the Orvis goat, and I think it's a good point to use, and I don't need to raise qualified goats, or I don't need to rush it. I just need to take advantage of their blind obedience and make them follow me, and over time I can change a lot of people.
"To achieve this, the first thing to do is to start with public opinion.
"Big-fare changes are bound to cause rebellion and resistance, but moisturizing things are silently leading. And I happen to be very good at that. ”
Dridge and Judy heard it in a fog, and although they didn't understand it very well, they had a vague hunch.
Jialan may usher in a change.
