Chapter 5: Klesterburg (3)

It's spring on the terraces of Kleistburg, but looking down from Mont Blanc, the world is still a vast sea of white. Here, mountains, clouds, and snow together form the scene of 'piling up thousands of stacks of jade', and a round of red sun is 'still hugging the pipa and half-covering the face' among the misty peaks; here, everything is solemn and solemn without a trace of mortal dust.

Nan Yi sat on the edge of a steep Mont Blanc less than twenty or thirty centimeters wide, with the abyss at his feet and the stone hut behind him. He gazed at the afterglow of the sunrise, and the cold wind howled and blew his thin white coat, which made him feel a little clothed. The golden sunlight formed a mysterious halo on his Asian-European half-blooded face, his black hair was blown by the wind, and he was on his smooth and marble-like forehead, and under the stiff arch of his eyebrows, his stone-carved facial features were not moved by the cold at all.

The red, transparent clouds flow and change, and the clouds bloom and fall like flowers...... The sunrise and sunset here, he has enjoyed it alone countless times.

The glow was gone, and the sky was as blue as a wash, clean without a single cloud or a trace of dust. However, under the empty sky, the empty world is also very lonely...... Time and space seemed to be far away, everything stood still, even his slow-beating heart seemed to be still......

At the foot of the mountain, a lone eagle chirped, swirling up with the air current, casting a lonely figure among the snow-capped mountains. Under the lonely sky, the figure seemed so small and powerless. The cry seemed to wake him up, and the black-gray eyes under the deep eye sockets, Mu Mu moved with the lonely shadow, and a layer of mist gradually crept up his eyes...

Finally, a she-eagle heard the chirping and soared. The two eagles chase each other, hover, and entangle each other, and stage a beautiful pas de deux in this silent world......

There was a faint sound in the cracks of the cliffs, and two eagles fluttered their wings and descended. A few small mouths poked out, chirping with their hairy heads and their parents...... The world began to clamor, the corners of the rock-solid mouth twitched, and the almost stagnant heart gradually beat......

After a long time, he braced himself slightly, and his gaze shifted from the eagle's nest to a protruding sharp rock not far to his right. There was something under this rock that had been quietly with him for sixteen years. He squinted his eyes slightly, and sure enough, in a silvery white, there was a hint of green light and shadow. He soared into the air, leaping slowly and gracefully to the bottom of the rock. Grabbing a raised corner of the rock with one hand, the other slowly brushes away the snow covering the green light. A strip of green lanceolate plants rises in the wind, and this is the mountain flower of the Alps: the edelweiss.

Edelweiss usually grows on rocks at an altitude of around 1,700 meters, but at such altitudes, it is extremely rare. He calculated that he had been with this edelweiss for sixteen years, and almost every year in the harsh winter, he wondered if such a weak plant could withstand the raging blizzard. For sixteen years, it has never let him down. This year, it's only March, and new shoots have already been sent. It must have been a snowstorm the other day that covered it up again.

Nan Yi gently stirred the snow particles covering the lanceolate leaves, and the wind struck the snow sand on his clean face, and he lowered his eyes lightly, and the eyes were gentle under the curved curls. Finally, a touch of softness touched the fingertips, and a small white, fluffy ball poked out its strong little head under the ice and snow. Nan Yi seemed a little shocked, he freed his hand to grasp the rock horn, levitated his body, and quickly continued to carefully stroke the ice and snow with both hands. Finally, a small, delicate, pink-carved edelweiss flower stood in front of me. In sixteen years, this is the first flower that Nan Yi has seen it bloom, and it is still in the bitterly cold March. It was so delicate and delicate that it was distressing, but the wind and snow could not break the delicate peep out of the cracks in the stone. This is the real tenacity and strength in the bones! On Nan Yi's expressionless face, under the high bridge of the nose, the curvature of the orange-shaped lips increased slightly, revealing an imperceptible shallow smile.

He looked at the little white flower carefully, and a fresh fragrance came to his face. The flowers swayed in the wind, the fluffy white petals resembled the girl's open skirt, the long stamen in the middle resembled the girl's slender body, the pale yellow stamen head resembled the face of a Chinese porcelain doll, and a small ball in the center of the stamen was bent into a half-moon shape by ice and snow, and it resembled the corners of the mouth curved under the long eyelashes. The whole flower is like a girl dancing with a smile in the cold wind.

Nan Yi rose into the air and lay down on the pointed rocks, his bent body forming a warm harbor that shielded him from the wind and snow outside. He gently placed a hand next to the edelweiss, and the soft little body of the edelweiss swayed and rubbed against his fingers, tickling, soft...

After lunch, the Christians' pioneers sat around the oval-shaped tables in the small dining room. Jacobina, a cook with two stout twist-shaped sticks, brought everyone dessert and coffee. The coarse jam-filled biscuit made the always gluttonous Sanjay pout his thick mouth and whisper, "This biscuit kills my yearning for a better life!" ”

The voice did not escape Jacobina's ears, her tower-like size and bulging eyeballs rushed to Sanjay in the form of Tarzan overpowering, and shouted in English with a strong South American Indian accent: "The yearning for a better life is our common goal!" But if you can be more diligent, you can carry more fresh fruit and milk up the mountain from the bottom of the mountain, instead of putting the cheese on the plane and letting it turn into a pile of slimy green hairs. I promise your life will be as good as flowers! With that, she snatched the plate from Sanjay's hand. Jacobina's lion's roar is as intimidating as her majestic size, with rounded shoulders and arms blending with a swollen bronzed face, making people forget the existence of her neck and making it impossible to guess her real age.

Everyone kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to complain again. But no, they are all people with superpowers, who wants to do the little things that mortals do, such as carrying and cleaning? Jacobina has the same superpowers as everyone else, and when she is busy in the kitchen, few people are willing to help her. Since they don't do things, it's good to eat some, and everyone naturally looks like they are at a loss in front of Jacobina.

After a nap, Brian went to the small restaurant, but Nan Yi hadn't arrived yet. He looked at his wrist, and sure enough, there were still two minutes left. Two minutes later, not a minute, not less than a second, Nan Yi, dressed in a light gray casual suit, appeared on the seat on Brian's right. The small restaurant, which was noisy just now, was silent in an instant, and even Jacobina's lion roar was swallowed back into his stomach. The warm afternoon sun shone on Nanyi's back, and he lowered his eyes lightly and nodded at Brian and the others. For someone like Nan Yi who laughs at Heqing, this warmth is like a long drought and a rain, and the young people are instantly excited, Ian moves to his side, Bertelem runs to fetch his special cup, and Sanjay is busy adding water to the cup. Bonita stopped staring at Ian and joined Jacobina in her jaw and laughed stupidly.

Only Corona still sat reservedly, but the dimples on her face were frequently revealed, and the rapid blinking of her eyelashes betrayed her pride. She was immersed in an aura that transcended the world: Ian was handsome, but he lacked the Old World temperament, the sophisticated, deep classical beauty that was unintentionally revealed in his gestures; Although Reg is strong, Nan Yi has not only Roman strength, but also Greek elegance; Although Bertelem is literate, how can he have the cold beauty that Nanyi has been shaped by the severe cold, not to mention Andrei, Sanjay, and Yoshida Masao...

Her obsession finally angered Reg beside her, "Uh-huh! It's time for a meeting! Be serious, everyone! His voice was like that of a bull in heat panting. Everyone returned to their seats, and Corona gave him a blank look.

Reg became so angry that he forgot to memorize his usual Shakespeare, and pulled out a stack of papers from his black sheepskin wallet with a black face, mixed with the smell of cologne and Reger's body. Ignoring the majesty of the Grand Principal, he only handed the paper to Brian: "This is this year's budget report, please approve it." ”

Brian smiled and took the paper, he dispersed the smell and motioned for Nan Yi. Sure enough, Nan Yi frowned slightly, and Brian smiled. "Headmaster" is just a nickname given to him by everyone, and it is absolutely impossible for such a living immortal to manage specific affairs. Today, he was willing to come and sit, which was beyond Brian's expectations. He retrieved the paper, flipped open the pages, and examined the lines of names and numbers, which Corona had made, and the handwriting on them was sloppy and illegible. Brian smiled again, he knew that with Coronna's mathematical mind, he could make it look like this, and he had already put a lot of effort into it. Seeing the funding gap on the last page, Brian frowned slightly.

"Is there such a big funding gap this year?"

"No, the bombed satellite tower needs to be repaired, the castle needs to be repaired, and the new mines dug this year are better if there are less, and if there are more, they will be even more stretched! Heaven testifies: 'I'd rather cut out my heart and melt a drop of my blood into a coin than ......" Reg glared at Corona with his bull's eye, and he could finally begin to recite Shakespeare's famous quotes. Unfortunately, Coruna's eyes were still intoxicated by the otherworldly aura. In the small restaurant, except for Brian and Nan Yi, everyone else rolled their eyes: they didn't read much, and they liked to show off a few words from time to time.

"In recent years, the anomaly of low-band electromagnetic waves has been on a downward trend, and there has been almost no case since the second half of last year. Since there are no new mines, do you consider tilting the funds to other aspects? Brian continued to look through the budget sheet.

Nan Yi's hand holding the water cup flicked slightly. This stone sculpture actually has something to say? Brian looked at him in surprise. He raised his eyes to look back at Brian, and his voice was low and magnetic: "Momentum is for the sake of preparation, I hope you are prepared in advance." ”

"You're saying that there will be a sudden explosion of new mines this year?" For Nan Yi's words, Brian is often needed to translate before everyone can understand them.

Explosive growth? Everyone began to talk about it. The so-called mining: is the discovery of new people with superpowers. Almost every year, the castle will more or less add some members, and these members are newly mined. Of course, there will be some old members who will leave, but there is not much place for them to go. Brian, who is strong in computers and mechanics, will arrange for them to go to places like monitoring stations, those who are willing to live an ordinary life will be arranged to Bauer's company, and some people will be arranged to the SWAT department through Alston, but they all strictly abide by the rules set for them by Klesterburg: they are not allowed to use superpowers outside. In fact, most of these people who left were not very superpowered, and it was good to be able to move objects at once. The people with real superpowers mostly stay in the castle because they can't adapt to life outside. When these children find out that they have superpowers, they will be crazy and obsessed with learning and practicing superpowers from Nanyi and others, and are unwilling to study other subjects. Although Brian would teach them physics, chemistry and mathematics, Marpel would teach biology and medicine, and Ball would come over to teach economics, it would be like chewing wax to them. Occasionally, a few people who like computers are also unable to learn well because Sanjay is thinking too fast. The sense of belonging and identity to the castle is the reason why they are reluctant to leave, so the number of people in the castle has surged to more than 60 people. So many people have to eat, dress, and pocket money even if they have to make it difficult for them after they get into trouble, so the expenses will naturally not be less.

The twelve people present at the meeting today were early settlers of the castle and held the title of honorary citizens, and they were the group of people who knew the state of the castle best, and naturally knew best what the explosive growth meant.

"None of us can foresee the future, and if we can predict the lottery numbers, then we won't have to worry about anything. Principal Nan, you don't know if you don't teach us. Nan Yi's gentleness today made Yoshida, who was shy, a lot more presumptuous. He looked at Nan Yi stupidly, and his smile was brighter than that of the girls.

Ian's mind jumped faster than anyone else, and before Corona could speak, he preemptively defended Nan Yi: "Principal Nan knows that you watched the Doraemon blockbuster last night, and you wore out your mouth for Sora Aoi, and said that you want to let the teaching director Reg punish you well." ”。

"Hey!" Corona slapped Ian on the shoulder, her eyes looked at Nanyi, and whispered, "Be serious! ”

Nan Yi didn't seem to hear anything, and Andre was refilling his special cup with a smile on his face. Seeing that the two patriarchs, Brian and Nan Yi, did not speak, everyone became even more rampant.

"It's useless to have the ability to foresee the future, you don't remember, Doctor and Teacher Nan strictly forbid us to use our superpowers to make money privately. Or I would have robbed the bank a long time ago. Bertlem said with feigned regret.

Everyone laughed.

"There's no one better suited to robbing a bank than we are." Bonita, with the scent of Kensington amber, added with a blurred look in her eyes.

"Don't talk nonsense." Coruna didn't have a smile on her face as she spoke. Since the princess spoke, everyone changed the subject.

Regg has the ability to do it, and his new Dodge Tomahawk is the fastest motorcycle in the world, fitted with the Dodge Viper's 8.3-litre V10 engine and the four wheels of a sports car, for a top speed of over 600 km/h. Known as a "rolling work of art", ordinary people can't control it at all, but Lei Ge can take it to the extreme. Andrei said lightly.

Reg raised his head proudly, but when he saw the resentful eyes of Bertelem, Bonita and others, he quickly explained: "It was bought with the subsidy money from the expatriate, and I saved it for a long time." Corona, Ian, Sanjay, and Avery, you get a lot of subsidies, Nan Yi - the teacher doesn't want it. ”

Avery also said: "The harder you work and the more capable you are, you can participate in more assignments." ”

The expatriate was an operation in which Bauer and Auston encountered something that was difficult to do with regular means or forces, and asked the castle for support. Brian was reluctant to get too involved in the castle, but the young men were happy to participate, partly because they were paid extra money, and partly because they could go out for a walk and show off their skills.

Seeing that everyone had moved the topic away, Brian coughed a few times, and waited until he was a little quieter before saying, "Let's discuss each item one by one, and the arrangements for next year's affairs ....."

Everyone's thoughts, Brian naturally knows. It's just that he's afraid of the smell of blood in those actions, and he's even more afraid that they'll become the next Alan...
