Chapter 699 Return to Old Teng Tree
When these two cards are put down, the expression of the cream on the opposite side is not to mention how interesting. That face went from smiling and complacent, and then gradually turning into a twisted, stiff, wide-eyed and wide-mouthed, as if the whole life had begun to be meaningless.
In this regard, Margaux next to him laughed and said: "Cream, I advise you to go and join in the fun tomorrow, forget it, as for paying the registration fee for the next game, forget it, right?" ”
"No! I don't throw in the towel! Again! I absolutely don't believe it! I don't believe it!!! ”
With the Assassin's unyielding roar, the crowd laughed again and began to rearrange the cards. I played until after midnight, and finally let the guy give up and go back to sleep, and then everyone dispersed.
- October 5, 1303, travel expenses: -4 gold, meal expenses: -2 silver and 3 copper, balance: 656 gold, 2 silver, 1 copper and 6 iron (outstanding taxes: 119 gold, 2 silver, 8 bronze and 1 iron, magic crystallization liability: 600 gold) -
Early in the morning, after everyone had eaten the breakfast provided by the inn, they began to report to Arrow about their plans for the day. After listening, Arrow nodded and told everyone to be careful and not get into trouble.
Watching the members walk out one after another, Arrow also exhaled.
In fact, other people are good, but Cream is alone to participate in the national war card competition, which sounds a little reluctant...... Alas, wait until you have gone to see the teacher, and then go to the competition venue to see him.
After everyone left, Arrow turned around, looked at Coco behind him, smiled, and said, "Are you ready?" So, let's go. ”
————
Following the path of his memory, Arrow and Coco walked all the way to the south of Hanhai City.
After passing through the bustling shops and crossing the widest central avenue in the middle, the two men walked along a beautifully decorated stone path towards a hillside.
The south and north sides of Hanhai City were indeed different from each other, and after going a little deeper, the noise in the ears began to decrease rapidly. When you look up, all you see is a large fence of specially decorated trees and buildings, just by looking at them.
Walking on such a road, Coco, who has never seen the world, can't help but feel a little nervous. She craned her neck slightly, as if she had arrived in a world that didn't belong to her at all, and looked around timidly.
But when she noticed her leader, the leader of the Mermaid Song, although he was now wearing a very civilian costume, he did not show the slightest fear, as if she had been born to grow up in such an aristocratic environment, and walked so smoothly with her head held high!
Looking at the back of the president, Coco couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the admiration and admiration for Arrow in his heart couldn't help but increase a little more.
Continuing along the boulevard to the junction, Coco looked up and saw the leading plaque hanging on the sign.
"Old Tengshu Academy ...... to this"
Coco silently recited the slogan on the plaque, and as she did so, Arrow was already walking in the direction she was. After taking two steps, Arrow saw that Coco behind him did not follow, so he immediately stopped and waited for a while.
"Ah, Brother President."
Coco hurried up, and Arrow smiled and continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, no one here will eat you." ”
Coco's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head. However, this kind of performance made Arrow also a little unhappy to see, and said: "Hold your head up, you need to make yourself look very confident in this area." It doesn't matter if you're old or young, you have to make yourself feel that you're very confident and not easy to mess with. ”
The little necromancer became even more nervous, and couldn't help asking, "Brother President...... Could it be that the people here are fierce? ”
Arrow shook his head, and said with a smile as he walked, "No, it's usually very polite." The more aristocratic and high-status people are, the more polite they will be when dealing with others. Sometimes you may even feel like your family is as close as you are. ”
Hearing Arrow say this, the anxiety on Coco's face slowly subsided a lot. She clutched her chest and exhaled, "So that's the case?" That's great, brother. ”
"Okay? Well...... Sort of, barely. However, never take other people's politeness too seriously. Sometimes, the person who seems the most rude to you is the least threatening person to you. You must keep this in mind. Today and in the future. ”
Arrow's admonition made Coco even more confused, but when she was about to ask, Arrow suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked ahead.
Following Arrow's gaze, Coco also looked forward.
The next moment, a huge arch that seemed to be made entirely of rattan and about five stories high appeared in front of her. Silently ...... Occupy all the sights of this young girl.
"Wow...... Wow~~~! ”
The arches made of huge rattan were so spectacular that Coco couldn't speak for a while.
Behind the rattan is a wide boulevard, perhaps because of the obscuration of the trees, and now it is completely difficult to see the inside.
Is this the old Teng tree?
But it was slightly different from the old Teng Shu in Coco's impression, the school gate seemed quiet, and no one came in or out, not even a guard. Isn't that a defense?
Compared to Coco, Arrow looked at the door, but exhaled silently. As if recalling some past events, he nodded silently, lifted his feet, and walked towards the gate.
That is, at the moment when his footsteps came to the arch, the door that seemed very open just now suddenly grew a lot of rattans! These rattans completely sealed off the entrance to the entire arch in a very short period of time, blocking the entry of Eero and Coco.
"It's not open viewing time, and people are not allowed to enter without a letter of introduction." "Wow——!"
Coco was shocked! Because the rattan that blocked the gate suddenly appeared with the face of an old man! Now, this face actually made an old voice?!
Airo turned his head and couldn't help but smile after seeing Coco's nervous appearance now, and said, "This is the first principal of Old Tengshu, after he died, in order to commemorate him, so his face was used as a guard at the entrance and exit of the gate." Well, although some of our classmates have been discussing privately in the past, whether this method is a commemoration or a kind of disrespect. ”
Coco craned her neck and looked at the gate in front of her with some fear. And after explaining, Arrow stepped forward and said with a smile: "I am an alumnus, student number: 850423, a graduate of the Department of Economics. ”
The old man's face on the gate was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Cadet number 850423, you have graduated three years ago. What do you want to do when you go back to school today? ”
Arrow crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "I want to find my teacher, conservative learning." And this kid...... I guess I'm a student. We have some questions about economics that we would like to ask our teachers. Does the conservative teacher have a class today? ”
The original headmaster pondered again for a moment, then said slowly: "After verification, your face shape and voice have been checked, and it has been confirmed that you are 850423 student number, economics student." Three years ago, the director of the economics faction was indeed Connor Conservative. After the certification, the conservative teacher does not have a class today, if necessary, I can help you with a prior consultation. ”
As he spoke, the rattans blocking the gate began to shrink slowly. Ai Luo hurriedly opened his palm and shook it, and said with a smile: "No, no, no!" I don't have to ask my teacher out, I probably know where he is now. Alright Coco, let's go inside. ”
With that, Arrow took Coco's hand and slipped through the security guard at the gate and stepped into the academy of Old Tengshu.
After getting in, the president immediately raised his hand to Coco's ear and whispered, "Our school's security guards are lax, right?" You see, I can bring you in casually. ”
Coco also looked a little surprised, she looked back at the gate that had been restored to an empty arch, and said, "Hmm...... I thought it was going to be a hassle...... And it's not the time to visit, so I can come in so casually......"
Arrow smiled and said as he walked, "yes, yes, I was also confused when I was reading. After all, the security is a little too lax. However, since nothing has happened all along, even if this issue is raised to be changed, it will take money to change, and there is still a lot of work, especially when it is changed, and I have to try to keep the face of the original principal, and the amount of work seems to be too large, so it has been lost. ”
Coco said with a puzzled expression: "A school like Old Tengshu...... Do you also worry about money? ”
Arrow smiled and continued, "Everyone in the world will worry about money. Sometimes it's because of where the money comes from. In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the academy, there has hardly been a large-scale security incident caused by outsiders casually breaking into this school. ”
