Chapter Twenty-Four: The White Orphanage I
readx;
"I've already learned what I'm teaching today, what kind of flanking theory, roundabout theory, isn't this the most basic thing?" As soon as Stitch returned to his place of residence, he threw aside those books on military strategy and tactics and jumped directly into bed, "This kind of text theory is not interesting at all, or archery classes and horseback riding classes are more interesting!"
Avi and Fan Wensheng immediately walked over, while Coral sat next to Stitch, inferring from each other's facial expressions and mouth shapes. The www.biquge.info Coral is now very familiar with everyone, so even if they don't use sign language to tell her about what everyone is talking about, she can infer what she is talking about.
Avi had just washed a plate of apples, and Avi picked up two of them, one of which was thrown into the hands of the aristocratic imp lying on the bed, and the other was eaten by himself, and he said while eating: "Yes, if it were me, I would also be more interested in archery and equestrian lessons, but then again, are each of your teachers really better than us?"
"No, no, no, most teachers only teach what he teaches," Stitch sat up, then nibbled on the cleaned apple, "Well, for example, the one who taught horse riding is probably on par with Avi in equestrianism, but his sword skills are much worse than Avi's." ”
Avi knew that his swordsmanship was only average, and compared to the swordsmanship of Captain Fei and Andre, he was like a child, "It's also not surprising that the teacher who taught horseback riding could only use marksmanship." Avi thought for a moment and added.
"Anyway, those military theory classes are not interesting at all," Stitch has a talent for martial arts, but his patience is very poor, "The thought of spending three-quarters of a week reading books and studying theory for the next two years!
Coral reached out and touched Stitch's maroon hair, the aristocratic imp didn't like his half-sister very much, but he was very kind to this deaf and dumb girl. After arriving in the foreign land of Mallot, Coral is the only person Stitch can confide in, and even when he sleeps at night, Stitch has to hold Coral to fall asleep.
"It's better than this!" Stitch suddenly raised his head, looked at Avi and Fan and said, "You two can find one of you to take those military theory classes for me! There are some other classes that need to be read!Anyway, I'm not an official student of Kestrel Academy, and my grades don't mean anything to me, and I'm a royal member of the Oguna Empire, even if I let someone take classes instead of me, they won't say anything!" Stitch seemed pleased with his idea, he crossed his hands over his chest, closed his eyes and nodded.
The big-nosed fan immediately looked at Avi, "I'm not going, I'm only responsible for protecting the noble imps, it's too boring to read in class or something, I might as well take a walk around the city!"
"Is this possible, if you really want me to take your place?" Avi didn't think it mattered.
"I'm sure I'll be allowed to do it! Starting next week, you can come with me, I'll let you sit next to me for the lesson, and when the teachers get used to your presence, I can run off to horseback and shoot arrows during the military theory class!" said Stitch excitedly.
After hearing Avi's explanation, Coral also made a corresponding gesture - as long as the academy allows, then it is beneficial for Avi to learn some knowledge in his free time, and she is very supportive.
After Stitch fell asleep in the company of Sango, Bignose Van and Avi lay down in bed and started chatting.
"It's been two weeks, and there's no indication that anything about the Btwoblade Mercenary Group will come up again. ”
"Yes, such a peaceful life is really reassuring. Avi replied.
Two weeks after arriving in Mallot, the capital of Salins, Avi and Fan have begun to get used to life here, the chefs sent from the palace are highly skilled, and the dishes cooked are very suitable for the taste of four people, the house is also fully equipped with facilities, and the patrols outside the house are also very diligent; although the aristocratic imp Sitch has a lot of complaints about the courses of the Kestrel Academy, in general, he does not encounter any obstacles and dangers when attending classes in the school, and I heard that all the students do not know that Sdik is a noble hostage, they just treat Sdik as an ordinary student。
It was all going well, and it seemed as if the things about Miss Delia, Carrie, Felisty, and Saint Goliath were gone, never to be seen in their lives again. Except for the letter sent by Saresa and the Sky City Steward, no outside influence entered the lives of the four of them.
Van Le was at his leisure, he walked around and around Mallot, and even though it took two weeks, he still hadn't finished the capital city, which was bigger than Dorret. Enough living expenses and unlimited time made Big Nose Fan feel a little uncomfortable, and he even joked that he would open a shop here and sell anything to pass the time.
Avi was not so idle, he first accepted the investigation of the Mallot's city guards, and asked him about the bandit leader "Bearfinch". Then he often went to the letter office to find out what was happening around the world. He also went to the blacksmith shops in Mallotte to find out more about the artificial life weapon, which he owned had been kept close to his body, and the armband had been removed, leaving only the black blade.
Bennicott, who was on his mental level, seemed to be resting all the time, and Avi tried to ask him some questions a few times, but Bennicot didn't respond. Bennicott said he needed to rest, but Avi didn't expect it to last that long. Therefore, Avi did not know any other information about the necklace of the weapon of life, and he could only investigate every necklace he saw with gems like looking for a needle in a haystack, and then he regretted that he had not remembered the necklace he had taken out of the hedron tomb.
Fan noticed Avi's actions, but he didn't seem to care, he just reminded Avi to stay safe, after all, the two of them were the ones who assassinated the Holy Maiden of the Theoguna Empire.
The next day happened to be the weekend, and the Kestrel Academy was closed to classes. Stitch immediately dragged Avi and Coral to accompany him around the city of Mallot.
"I've heard that Mallot's beef is particularly delicious! you must take me to taste it this time!" Last week, Evan sent his men to not allow Stitch to leave the house, citing Stitch's safety. This week, because he was already familiar with life here, no one could control this aristocratic imp, and Fan slipped away on the pretext that something was wrong, and Coral and Avi had to accompany him for a walk around the city.
Mallot's beef food really lives up to its reputation, from frying, stewing, boiling, and roasting to make very delicious beef food, especially the cheese-grilled steak, which is absolutely a rare delicacy in the world! Stitch and Avi each ate ten servings, and even Coral, who is slender and doesn't usually like meat, also ate four servings.
With the exception of beef, the southwestern part of the continent where the Kingdom of Salins is located is a steppe terrain, so the meat of all animals is very delicious. Because Mallote is located in the center of the kingdom of Salins, the seafood brought from the south and west is also fresh and delicious, and Avi and Coral followed Stitch around looking for food, and Avi also lamented that Fan did not follow.
In the afternoon, the well-fed crowd arrived outside Mallot's orphanage. The orphanage was built with white walls, each of which was covered with mud and planted with flowers. Passers-by told Avi that this was the task that every orphan who entered the orphanage had to complete - each orphan had to plant a flower, which meant that they were not alone, but at least had a beautiful flower to accompany them.
This kind of implication made Avi and the others feel a burst of warmth. Sango's eyes were moist, and if Saresa hadn't brought her back to Sky City from the ruined fishing village, she would have been worse off than the orphans she had been brought to the orphanage. Avi is not an orphan, but he also has only one family, his mother, Joni. It is estimated that the children adopted by Miss Delia are all orphans, so it means that in addition to Felistie and Carrie, Bignose Fan may also be orphans.
Thinking of this, Avi suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing that Fan did not come with them.
"Why are you here?!" Evan approached from a distance, accompanied by a girl who had changed into a civilian outfit and looked like a kind father.
"We just happened to be here. Avi responded.
"Then come with me into the orphanage and have a look?"
