Chapter 142: Go to the Imperial Capital for Me
Seeing that Madame had gone out, Harry glared at Dong Chen, "Why don't you know to say something nice for me!" ”
"Not only are you afraid, but I'm also afraid, afraid of being beaten." Dong Chen shrugged helplessly.
"And let you lie down in bed well, you are the one who is being served, why do you have so many things?"
Harry was also helpless when he heard this, and pointed to his head and right hand with his left hand, "Alas, I don't read books leisurely in the library management every day, and I suddenly became like this, which is a little uncomfortable." ”
Dong Chen looked at his miserable appearance and asked him "curiously", "By the way, what's going on with you?" How did you meet a gangster? ”
"I took a leave of absence a few days ago, and I don't know about you, otherwise I would have come to see you yesterday."
"It's okay, you don't have to use it today, and I don't have a big deal," Harry said with a smile.
"Speaking of the injury, I was also unlucky, that is, I was walking the night before, and suddenly two people burst out of the alley......"
Listening to Harry's narration, Dong Chen felt that he was really unlucky, and there was no disaster for nothing.
The night before yesterday, I attended a drinking party in the city lord's mansion, because the atmosphere of the drinking party was relatively warm, and there were many friends I knew before, so I stayed for a long time, and it was not early when I came out.
He felt that he was fine, and he didn't drink much, so he refused his friend's request to send him, and his friend was only a guest when he came here, and he had been in Black Rock City for so many years, so he didn't need a guest to send his master.
I didn't take a taxi after I came out, because it wasn't too far from home, and I didn't want to go home with a heavy smell of alcohol, after all, my wife at home was too ...... is virtuous, so I plan to walk back and dissipate the wine.
The security in Black Rock City is still okay, at least a middle-aged and old man like him is still relatively safe, and there are street lights on both sides of the road, and there are some glowing plants, not all in the dark.
It's just that he had just walked a distance, and suddenly two people came out of a small alley in front of him, and the person who ran in front was covered in blood, and when he saw him blocking in front, he directly pushed him away.
This time the force was very strong, and he was directly pushed to the ground, not only hit his head on the ground, but also knocked his arm to the stone slab on the side of the road.
With that, Harry just stopped eating and fainted.
When he woke up, he was in the hospital.
When he woke up and thought about it, he felt that the two men were supposed to be fighting, or rather fighting.
The one in front was obviously defeated, and was running frantically, and he was coincidentally blocked on his way to escape, if he didn't have a knife in his hand, it might not be as simple as pushing away, after all, it was a desire for life.
After he woke up, the people from the Public Security Bureau also came to ask him about some information, including the appearance and characteristics of the two people he saw, etc., after all, as the librarian of the Mechanical Academy, he is also a relatively important person, and he has just come out of the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet, so it is even more unbelievable.
After listening to Harry's story, Dong Chen pondered and touched his chin, "I feel that the person who attacked you may be dead." ”
"The Public Security Bureau probably won't be able to solve the case, and you probably won't get any compensation."
"Why do you say that?" Harry was puzzled.
"You also said before, he is covered in blood, and I guess the person behind him will not let him go."
"And on the way I came, I saw blood stains in several places, and I heard from the security bureau and the people around me that there was a gang fight incident in the past two nights, and the two people you saw should be gang members fighting......"
Dong Chen's head was the way, Mrs. Tyranny, who had come in with tea before, had been sitting next to them and listening to them, and she deeply agreed with what Dong Chen said.
She had heard about it yesterday, but she hadn't told her husband, and this morning when she went out to buy groceries, she heard the people in the vegetable market talking about it, and talking more about it than yesterday, and it was clear that such things were still happening.
It's just that she usually doesn't go far away, that is, to buy some vegetables at the vegetable market near her home, or go to the shopping street, but now that her husband is injured, she doesn't go out anymore, and all the news comes from what she heard when she was shopping for vegetables.
Although those friends who had partyed with her husband in the City Lord's Mansion before also came to visit her husband, it was just that they were not from Black Rock City, and they lived in the City Lord's Mansion every day, and they also interacted with people from the Science and Technology God Sect next to them, and they didn't care about the things on the street, so they didn't say much.
Now that she heard what Dong Chen said, she saw it with her own eyes, and she was still her husband's colleague and friend, so she knew that what she heard was right, maybe the gangster who attacked her husband really died in the firefight.
Harry didn't feel anything, it had nothing to do with him whether the person who attacked him died or not, and he didn't even expect to make the other party compensate, although there were lights at the time, but the two people covered their faces, and they just stopped eating for a while, and the Sheriff's Bureau didn't get any very useful information from him, and he didn't expect the Sheriff's Bureau to find it.
Now even if you know that the other party is dead, the injuries on your body can't be healed overnight, and you have to take care of it slowly.
It's that I'm injured, and the banquet before that is in vain.
But when he saw Dong Chen sitting on the chair next to the bed, he had an idea.
"Brother Dong Chen, can you do me a favor?"
"Ah, what?" Dong Chen was about to take a sip of tea, but when he heard Harry's question, he put it down again.
"Do me a favor and make a trip to the Imperial Capital for me," Harry said with a smile, "at public expense, with food and lodging, at no cost to you, and that Cyclops supership." ”
"You don't have any conspiracy, do you?" Dong Chen looked at Harry suspiciously, "How can there be such a good thing!" ”
"Why is your focus so strange, shouldn't a young man like you pay attention to super airships and free trips to the imperial capital?"
Harry can't help Dong Chen, this kid's focus is different from others.
"What's strange, if you get it, you have to pay, and there must be a significant payment for such an attractive benefit." Dong Chen sensibly pointed out what might be used as a trap here.
"It's definitely a big effort for others, and you may want to pay for it, but you're absolutely fine, you just need to give a little bit of your knowledge."
The reason why Harry said this was because librarians were not ordinary people, at least librarians at the level of higher colleges and above in this world were not ordinary people.
The dinner he attended was because of this.
The library of Imperial Capital University is the largest library in the entire Eastern Continent, and it stores books that most people can't finish reading in their lifetimes, and they need to be sorted out frequently, and they must be filled with new books frequently, and most importantly, they must be corrected frequently.
Books are used to impart and pass on knowledge, and correct knowledge is required, but due to human reasons, there are many mistakes in books in this era.
At this time, these unusual librarians are needed, and only they have the time to read books constantly and become the most knowledgeable people in the school.
Every two years, they gather at Imperial Capital University, where they can compile new books as well as correct their mistakes.
Some professional knowledge, such as history, literature, physics, chemistry, etc., they are not only studied by professional teachers, but also by many experts.
But some other things, such as folklore, miscellaneous notes, etc., these very fragmented things are not studied by professionals, and at this time, they need to be "miscellaneous experts" who read everything.
They want to summarize what they know and what other people know, and then combine the things that have been summarized before, but because they are incomplete, they can't make a book, and write these scattered things into a book and pass them on.
After all, their lifespan is limited, unlike some elders, so they need to use this method to pass on knowledge, even if it is not something that can promote social development, but it is also a trace of historical and cultural change, which needs to be recorded.
This activity has long been that each school provided some money for their school librarians to ride some convoys to the imperial capital.
After that, it grew and the location was set at the Imperial Capital Academy, and the education department and the Cult of Science and Technology provided some expenses to send ships and cars to various cities to pick up people.
Recently, after there is a train, I will use the train, which is also reimbursed by the Imperial Capital Academy, and later after the soft airship, it is the airship pick-up, which is more fast.
Now it's even better, the latest super-large hard airships have been driven over, and they are picking people up from city to city, all the way to Black Rock City, so there is a party between acquaintances and friends.
Error correction meetings and compiling books can be time-consuming, and these librarians have to stay in the imperial capital for at least half a year, without fear of delaying these days.
As a special existence among all academies, the Imperial Capital Academy has this strength.
Every time I go to a city, the administrator has to bring a large amount of information, although these materials are organized, but it is also necessary to let the administrators of different schools pass aside, so as to avoid duplication and waste of information.
Especially after switching to airship traffic.
After all, not a pound of weight on an airship is quite important.
