Chapter 147: The Holy See School
At seven o'clock in the morning, Wu Ming sat on the sofa in his living room in loose pajamas, reached out and picked up the morning newspaper placed on the glass coffee table and unfolded it, sweeping it across several large sections of the page at a glance. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info also thanks to Lao Yang's habit of bringing a morning report back after going out to drink tea and chat with people in the morning, so that he can get the information of the things he cares about for the first time.
At the head of the newspaper, there were thieves in the house of Viscount Barton, the first nobleman of the whale, and the headline of the tragic death of the eldest young master Ron was printed in the most eye-catching position. Coincidentally, the second side of the newspaper showed that last night Patton's old patriarch Rudolph Patton suffered from a sudden epilepsy due to old age and frailty, and died in the middle of the night at the third watch, followed by his great-grandson of unknown generations.
Wu Ming knew in his heart that the so-called excuses such as thieves and sudden epilepsy could only deceive ordinary civilians who didn't know the inside story, just to protect the fig leaf of the Patton family's face, in fact, anyone who got the news could know what happened last night if they inquired a little, and everyone was just worried about the face of the Patton family.
After last night's incident, people can already predict that the decline of the Barton family is only a matter of time, the death of the two orthodox direct heirs, the fall of the old patriarch who has supported the family for many years, and the drama of the side power struggle that has led to the failure of the family is about to start in this largest aristocratic family in Canglong.
It's just that all this won't have much to do with Wu Ming.
"Is that Niko okay?"
After rummaging through the newspaper for a long time and not seeing any news of Carol, Wu Ming was a little worried. He knocked Carol unconscious and put the victim together yesterday, it stands to reason that Nizi should have come back a long time ago, why hasn't anyone been seen after half a night?
There was a gurgling sound in the kitchen, and it was a busy little maid steaming eggs in an egg steamer. Wu Ming stood up when he heard the sound, and he was about to go to see how rich his breakfast was this morning, when he heard a knock on the wooden door.
"Who?" Lao Yang, who was drinking tea on the sofa opposite, put down the teacup, stepped forward to open the door bolt, and saw a young man in trendy clothes walking in with a hippie smile.
Wu Ming gave Yang Lao a look, and the old man walked back to his room with understanding, and sat down on the sofa unceremoniously.
"Why are you kid?" Wu Ming looked at Du Xiaobo, who had changed his appearance in front of him, and said curiously, "Where did you get this dress?" The system also gives away fashion for free now? ”
Du Xiaobo pulled down the collar of the denim T-shirt printed with blue stripes: "This is a collector's edition T-shirt specially made by a tailor, I am almost tired of wearing those armor robes all day long, how can it look good?" ”
"It's kind of interesting." Wu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Hehe, I still have a few pairs of open-seam jeans there, and I'll send them to Brother Ming in a few days." Du Xiaobo had a show-off look on his face, he remembered something in his tone, and smiled obscenely at Wu Ming, "By the way, Brother Ming, I met the girl next to you last night on the way here, what is her name...... Carol: Right? She asked me to bring you a sentence saying that you will not find a wife for the rest of your life. ”
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, showing a look of crying and laughing, this woman was really angry because he knocked him unconscious last night, so he deliberately gambled with him and did not show up. However, after learning that the girl had left the Diadochi Castle safely, the big stone in Wu Ming's heart also quietly fell.
"Brother Ming, did the two quarrel? The word 'day' for the rest of my life is a bit expressive......"
"I'll go to your uncle's!" Wu Ming unceremoniously sent his brain, Du Xiaobo was hit by his head, and hurriedly put on a serious look.
"Ahem, let's say, what the hell are you doing so early?" Wu Ming glanced at him angrily, he didn't believe that Du Xiaobo came here just to gossip, this person turned out to be a bed-laden character, he really had to come to visit and show up in the afternoon to be reasonable.
"I heard that you were injured, so I brought you some healing potions." Du Xiaobo searched in the system space for a while, took out various high-level healing potions and put them on the glass table, among them, there were [Advanced Life Elixirs] that instantly restored physical strength, [Advanced Recovery Elixirs] that slowly restored physical strength, [Advanced Purification Elixirs] that specialized in relieving bleeding and serious injuries, and various other potions lined up...... Wu Ming's heart was so hot that he almost didn't pounce on the other party to give him a big hug.
The scars he had been slashed by the man in the hat had healed overnight, but it was definitely not a bad thing to have a few more bottles of potions on him, as long as he didn't use potions as medicine like the old madmen of the Barton family.
"Good brother, I won't say anything superfluous...... Wu Ming patted Du Xiaobo's shoulder sensationally, with a look of emotion, "I know you helped me stop Arthur Nanazi last night, just rush these, how about the two brothers go out for a drink tonight?" ”
"Brother Ming's invitation, I will never refuse." Du Xiaobo said with a smile.
The two repeatedly determined the time and place of drinking at night, and Du Xiaobo left humming a little song.
After breakfast, seeing that there were no guests visiting for a long time, Lao Yang went out again to find a few old men and old ladies to drink tea and chat, and the little maid also carried a small shoulder bag out of the house.
Wu Ming looked at Nicole's petite back, took a toothpick and picked his teeth between his teeth, and then raised his heel.
He always felt that something was wrong with the little maid recently.
In the past few days, Nicole not only came home late every day, but also fell asleep after washing up as soon as she got home, looking so tired that she collapsed, which made Wu Ming suspect that she was secretly working outside to subsidize the family.
It's just that the family's money is quite surplus, and it should be enough for several years, so why do you need the little maid to work so hard to make up for it?
With doubtful thoughts, Wu Ming quietly followed behind the little maid and did not leave for a moment.
For nearly an hour, the little maid shuttled through the crowd for a long time, turning through several streets and alleys under the scorching sun, and finally came to a compound with a house number on it.
"This Nizi is not too tired." Watching Nicole walk out of a hot sweat, Wu Ming was distressed, there was naturally no problem for him to walk this hour's road, but the little maid was still young and an ordinary mortal, the noon sun was high, and there were many pedestrians and vehicles on the road, and it was not easier to complete this journey than to do a day's work. If you want Wu Ming to say, what kind of money can you save for such a long road? Wouldn't it be nice to just call a carriage to carry it?
In the compound is a magnificent and upright Holy See building: a white and blue tile dome, and a glass window painted with a picture of God. Most of the religious buildings in ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, and even in other worlds are like this. It's just that the building in front of Nicole is not a church in the town, but a so-called Holy See school, which is the only place in the town where teaching.
However, the schools here do not teach people to read and do learning, only the methods of cultivation for adventurers.
