The little boy Timo ignored the cold attitude of Zhou Shu and his party towards him, and persevered from the side door of the non-commissioned officer school to the hotel where they lived.

Zhou Shu didn't think this guy was a good person, and Ula and Smith thought the same thing. Smith is also an adult in his thirties who has been in society, and although he has no physical memory at the moment, his judgment and feeling are still there. He felt that this kid was no different from those guys who accosted strangers at the train station and opened their mouths to shut up and call their fellows, and Jian yì Zhou Shu conjured up some wasps to kill this weird kid, saving him any trouble in the future.

Regarding Smith's construction, Zhou Shu shook his head again and again and refused to support it. It's not that he's afraid of killing people, if the other party really has anything to think about him, even if he just steals a wallet, Zhou Shu may secretly kill him.

But now there is nothing wrong with this man except for some enthusiasm. Manslaughter is not terrible, Zhou Shu is afraid that he will fall into self-blame for manslaughter. If a person has this kind of feeling, then it is not far from depression, and the biggest enemy is always himself.

Lilia likes to make friends, and she doesn't have any bad feelings about this pestering little brother, and she wants to make friends. She also wants the other party to teach her the lingua franca.

Zhou Shu criticized the little girl's idea in his heart, and felt that he should not have too much contact with this girl who is not very good at braining, what should I do if I am taken stupid?

Teemo chased him to the hotel, and when he saw that the four of them still ignored him, he asked the innkeeper to order a good meal at his own expense, saying that he had invited Lilia and the four of them to eat. He was determined to get close to Lilia, even if he swallowed his hatred and courted his father's killer. He wanted to be Lilia's friend, or at least to make her feel that it was a very ordinary thing to be in front of her often. In this case, it will be much easier to poison or stab a knife in the future.

As soon as Zhou Shu and Lilia returned to the hotel, they gathered in the room, and Master Zhou pestered the little girl and asked her to talk about some things in this world. It doesn't matter what the content is, you can say whatever comes to mind, so that you can understand this place more comprehensively and three-dimensionally.

Lilia's narration skills are not very good, and the stories and jokes are very dull. Just when Zhou Shu wanted to give up such a boring errand as a talking from the girl's mouth, the hotel brother knocked on their door.

Zhou Shu has always played the role of a mute in the hotel, so the hotel boy directly told him that there was a table of noodles downstairs waiting for them to eat, and it was invited by a teenager. He said that last sentence with obvious disdain on his face.

Since most of Zhou Shu's travel expenses were spent on yesterday's room fee and today's 'minor surgery' on Ula Myri and Smith, there were only two crescent moons left on hand, just enough to pay for today's room fee, so they were hungry and had no money to eat. Fortunately, I will go to the language school tomorrow to enroll, and there will be the same food and accommodation as the non-commissioned officer school.

The innkeeper has seen a lot of guests who only stay in the hotel and don't eat, and those people are usually dressed in old clothes that don't fit well, and they come from the countryside. Most of them have no money to eat, so they keep themselves locked in their rooms and eat their own dry food. These conditions are completely in line with Zhou Shu's group, and Lilia even wears wide male clothes, looking like a beggar who has just received old clothes from a well-wisher. The only difference is that they don't have dry food. In the eyes of the innkeeper, these beggars have received charity from a kind person today, and that kind person is only a half-grown child.

MD, Zhou Shu scolded in his heart. It's not that he scolds the annoying Timo in front of him, he scolds the annoying Timo. No wonder they say 'team battles can be lost, Timo must die', this allusion is wide enough.

Lilia and Zhou Shu have both experienced being drugged in food recently, and no matter how forgetful they are, they don't dare to accept other people's treats recently. Teemo came running at this time, and even Lilia became wary of him.

Zhou Shu waved his head at the hotel brother and refused the other party's invitation.

The little brother of the hotel gave the four of them a blank look, and said something like 'these beggars know how to be ashamed' and left.

As Timo sat at the table and heard the tavern's description, he realized that he was very wary of him. This made him realize that he was almost a bit abnormal and suspicious in this way. So he decided not to contact them for the time being, and waited for the school to open in three months. During this time, Lilia and the others would study at the language school, which was also completely closed, and Timo had little chance to get close to it, even if he wanted to.

Early the next morning, Zhou Shu settled the restaurant account and spent all the money in the world, and the four people who had not eaten for a day walked to the language school opposite the non-commissioned officer school hungry. Just on the way, a long-lost voice sounded in Zhou Shu's head.

"Dear Mr. Great Librarian, you have a voice message. ”

Ah, I remember!

On the road, Zhou Shu slapped his head with a sudden expression. It was not Cui Jian who said this to him, but a female voice with a pleasant voice but a cold tone. He hadn't heard it in a while, in fact he had only heard it once the day he first received the Book of Calling. The owner of this voice is the big library key hanging on his chest, which is actually the library itself. If it weren't for this sudden contact from this voice, Zhou Shu would have almost forgotten that he still had the identity of a librarian.

Zhou Shu scolded secretly, Lao Tzu is now in the otherworldly street, surrounded by some two- or three-story European-style ancient buildings, and the pedestrians on the street are all as emotional as extras on the set!

The librarian complained, calling out the library girl and asking her to let out her voice message.

The message sounded like the squeaking of electricity, but it was actually the language of some kind of creature. Zhou Shu has the ability to communicate with the heart, and his brain directly translates the sound content. The message was to the effect that: Dear Mr. Grand Librarian, a book that I have borrowed from you is about to expire and will be returning it in the near future. You don't need to bother to host or change your itinerary because you don't have to make a presumptuous visit. Signature, great man.

On the street, Zhou Shu's sudden stop attracted the three of his peers to stop at the same time. Thinking that their master was talking to the Book of Summoning, Ula and Smith motioned with their eyes for Lilia not to disturb him.

After hearing the news, Zhou Shu rolled his eyes at the 'great man' in his heart, and then said to the three people around him: "What is it?"

Ula Mystery: "Is it that fairy tale, the story of a brother and sister who were abandoned by their stepmother, who met a witch's candy house in the forest?"

Zhou Shu majored in European and American literature, so he naturally heard about this story and some of the things behind the creation of the story. Most of the stories in Grimm's fairy tales have many versions, all of which have some regional originals. The most popular fairy tales contain such stories as the world of the Great Famine, parents who abandon their children, the burning of witches, treasure, revenge, and friendly animals.

Some people over-interpret this fairy tale and turn it into a rather terrifying story. In particular, the descriptions of "brothers and sisters who can be retrieved by themselves no matter how they are discarded", "witches who were burned in the oven", and "wild ducks who can carry people across the river" really give people goosebumps. Zhou Shu was originally dismissive of this, but when he suddenly heard this word today, he couldn't help but think about it in that direction.

It shouldn't be the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm, right? Master Zhou couldn't figure it out, could it be that the library collected fairy tales collected and compiled by the Germans? If that was the case, the length would be a piece of A4 printing paper at best, where could it be considered a book? Based on the experience of the Book of Summoning, Zhou Shu guessed that this would definitely not be such an intimate thing as a paper book.

For the Book of Summoning, Master Zhou still likes it very much, and it can be said that he can't do without this golden finger now. He was also interested in the books that the 'great man' was about to return. In anticipation, Zhou Shu was a little worried. The person who returned the book should be a strong man who can travel back and forth to various worlds at will, so how should he deal with himself in the face of such a person who can pinch himself to death lightly?

That's not all there to worry about. As long as the key to this great library is by your side, it is possible that there will be a steady stream of similar people. What if some of them were to work against them? The library key should be a good treasure, at least a collection of pure gold, what if they were going to kill people and take the treasure?

For Zhou Shu, the existing Book of Summoning was enough for him to live the life he wanted, and he had little interest in other unknown books that might be returned. He's thinking about whether to lose the library key in exchange for his own safety.

In addition to being the station of the non-commissioned officer school, the city wall in the western area of the defeated army city is also a famous food street in the defeated army city. There are many various food stalls next to Zhou Shu and his entourage, and all kinds of meat and pasta are fried and grilled on the stove, and the taste is very attractive with various sauces.

Zhou Shu stopped thinking about the library key, he was really hungry. "I'm sorry. Zhou Shu lifted his stunned state and said to the three people beside him: "I suddenly thought of something just now, and now it's fine." Let's go, it's best to arrive at the language school before lunch. ”

To put it bluntly, the language school for non-commissioned officers of foreign nationalities is a facility for preliminary inspection and cleaning up foreign spies who may have mixed in with the non-commissioned officers of the White Moon. Although language schools teach lingua franca, the standard of teaching is unflattering, and there is no complete teaching system. Students learn the language almost exclusively by talking to the teaching assistants on campus who know the lingua franca, and the same is true for reading and writing. The real identity of those teaching assistants is the secret agent of the kingdom, and he observes them by communicating with the students and catches out the suspected spies. The identities of these people are an open secret, everyone knows it, but it is tacit.

When Zhou Shu came to the language school, he was immediately stunned by the building in front of him. "No one sues me that my school is a castle!"

When he went to the non-commissioned officer school yesterday, Zhou Shu was very envious of a castle near the school. He thought it was a place where local lords or some kind of nobles lived, but he didn't expect it to be a language school.

Lilia pointed to the words on the wrought iron door sign and said, "Although I can't read, I know that the door sign says 'Foreign Mansion'." The castle is not only a language school, but also a place where foreigners are involved. ”

Zhou Shu had already understood the enormity of this defeated city. In European history, castles were usually built on the outskirts of the city, so that in addition to living in them, they also served as military defense. The castle-like building was only a government function, and it was built in the city. It seems that the architectural strength of this world is much stronger than that of ancient Europe, and it may not be comparable to modern society.

Economic development determines the superstructure. Zhou Shu didn't think that the economy of this world was very developed, at least they were still using metal currency, which would strictly restrict the expansion of capital. From this, it can be judged that the powerful civil engineering and construction capabilities of this world may be attributed to magic. Unlike Earth, the magic of this world seems to be openly acknowledged.

Zhou Shu stood in front of the grand main entrance of the castle, and the momentum of this building made him a little afraid to enter. A guard in leather armor approached and asked if the four men, who were clearly foreigners, needed help, and after checking their documents, he learned that they were the newly promoted foreign non-commissioned officers and their attendants, and took them to the language school.

"Are we really going to spend three months here?" Zhou Shu walked on the road full of summer flowers and solemn cedar trees, thinking that he had come to some kind of fairyland. He whispered to Lilia if she had gone through the wrong door, but not to make any jokes.

"The road is not wrong. But three months may not be the case. Lilia put on a worried look and said, "If we don't meet the basic standards of lingua franca communication and literacy in three months, we won't be able to graduate from here." Maybe I'll stay longer. ”

"Still have an exam?" Zhou Shu collapsed. He couldn't even remember how long it had been since he had written with a pen, and he didn't even know what a pen looked like in this world.

Lilia is not very clear about the assessment criteria, and in order to comfort Zhou Shu, she casually said that it would not be difficult.

The four were taken to the southwest gate of the castle, from where they entered a tower. This tower is probably smaller than a color TV tower, eight or nine stories tall. The guards sent them and left, and they were greeted by a tall, thin old woman who claimed to be the director of the language school.

This woman was obviously stunned for a while after seeing Zhou Shu and the three of them with yellow skin, it was obvious that she had never seen a yellow person. The director tried to communicate with them in various languages, and he did not know how many languages he spoke. The result is self-evident, the other party must not understand Chinese, and the only gain she has from doing this is to make Zhou Shu have a high respect for her.

Well, a person speaks at least a dozen languages. This kind of language genius, with Zhou Shu's knowledge, only knows a Mr. Chen Yinke who died in a special period.

The inability to communicate means that language teaching is much more difficult. This slender and tall director was a teacher, and he didn't doubt Zhou Shu's origins, but first thought about how to teach so that these three people could graduate smoothly. She decided to observe for a few days and communicate more with the three students, perhaps thinking of a good teaching method.

The four of them followed the director on a tour of their classrooms, cafeterias, and dormitories, which were specially prepared for aliens from the non-commissioned officer school. While leading a few people on a tour, she explained some of the things to Lilia during the school in the language of the Bird Country.

First of all, classrooms, cafeterias, and dormitories are all located in the tower, and students are not allowed to go anywhere except these three places. That is, students are not allowed to leave the tower.

Secondly, although it is a place to eat and live, it does not mean that students can enjoy this qiē for free. After 9 o'clock in the evening, each student has to contribute the rest of their magic power to the school, that is, to pass the magic power into the black core through the ATM-like machine. Students use their surplus magic every day to provide for self-sufficiency in school life. This is also true at the non-commissioned officer school.

In the end, the director took the four of them to meet the other teachers and teaching assistants, these guys were naturally spies, and they turned around and left without saying anything except giving them a few sets of school uniforms, as if they didn't care about them at all. The school uniform is actually the school uniform of the non-commissioned officer school, which is divided into four types: male and female and student and attendant. For men, it is a long coat and trousers with a leather jacket and leggings, and for women, it is a long coat and short pants, and a jacket with a leather shoulder.

"Wearing this in this weather will definitely be killed by heat. "The complaints made by Ula in Chinese are only understood by his own people.

The clothes of the attendants differed only in color from those of the non-commissioned officer students. The uniforms of the non-commissioned officers and students are almost all black, and the attendants are brown and black.

Circle down to be lunchtime. The director took Zhou Shu and the four of them to the cafeteria to eat together.

The cafeteria is small, about the size of a classroom in an average middle school on Earth. Two long rows of tables are lined with baskets full of bread, and bottles of jam are dotted alongside them. Two wooden barrels were placed at a long table with broth and assorted vegetables. In addition to these, each student can choose one of the whole basket of oranges and apples for a snack.

The cafeteria had less than ten students at this time, and the rest were faculty members. Director Slender Gao said that at present, there are only 13 non-commissioned officers and students in the school, and this is still counting the two of them.

Zhou Shu pretended not to understand on the side, and focused all his attention on eating and drinking. The food was good and tasted good, but not enough to divert his attention from the other students. Zhou Shu observed the students in the cafeteria with his eyes while eating. All of them were Western faces, and Zhou Shu's ability to distinguish between them and the local residents of the Defeated Soldiers City could not be seen.

Since the cafeteria only serves meals on a regular basis, all thirteen students are here. It's just that there are only five of the attendants in black and brown school uniforms, including Ula Mystery and Zhou Shu, the two Xibei goods, and I don't know if the other students don't have attendants, or if some attendants don't come to eat.

Some hungry Zhou Shu bread hadn't eaten two yet, and suddenly the voice of the big library girl appeared in his head again.

Sister, can't you stop talking on the phone while I'm eating?
