Chapter 44: The Library

"Religion and false gods are the most terrible things that human beings have ever created. ”

- Edward L

Striking iron is still a terrifying thing for these two young masters who are no longer pampered, the two of them are not without a thick cocoon on their hands because of practicing sword swinging, but when they wave the heavy hammer in their hands again and again against the red-hot steel bar, the blisters on the hands of the two of them that have not healed will wear out after a while, and the pain in the palms of their hands and the poor children around them who have not stopped making the two grin and insist.

The last time they came to the forging class, the two of them felt blisters on their hands, but they didn't hurt so much, and this time they were envious of the thick calluses on the hands of the children of the civilian families around them because of chopping wood or plowing the land. Like a huge blacksmith shop, the scene of a group of **** boys wielding hammers under the big shed attracted many girls to watch, which made these half-grown children wield hammers more and more vigorously.

By the time the two of them took advantage of the fact that there was no one around them who was suffering and kept blowing on their hands, they had almost walked downstairs to the library, this kind of pain was not like the pain of an injury, to say that they were not afraid of being scratched or stabbed by a sword during practice, that kind of pain was not torturous, but now the burning sensation in their hands made them unable to even pick up a knife and fork when they were eating lunch, and almost used two fingers to hold the knife and fork to pluck the delicious and juicy roast beef into their mouths.

Unlike what the two of them thought, Edward was not hard to find, he sat at the counter at the door like an idle shop buddy, his legs on the table at the counter, the first two legs of the chair had left the ground, leaning on the back of his body to maintain his balance, and staggering at the book in his hand.

There were not a few students in and out of the library, but none of them greeted Edward, and the few polite greetings from the freshmen were exchanged for a nod from Edward's eyes without taking off the book.

Justin and Jack blew on their hands, looking at their handsome red-haired vice president, not knowing whether to go up and say hello, Justin looked at the book on the cover, which did not have a single word, and tried to stretch his head forward, hoping to see what kind of book Edward was reading, but the words were too small to read clearly.

Just as Justin was trying harder to look in, Edward startled Justin with a roll of his eyes, and smiled awkwardly and withdrew his neck. Edward was not annoyed, he closed the book in his hand with a helpless look, and put his feet off the counter, I have to say that Edward's legs are very long, this figure is higher than his appearance, and it looks like Edward, who is only in his thirties, is the dream lover of a woman in Rhine.

Jack and Justin greeted Edward together, but Edward ignored them all, holding the book in his hand and putting the other hand behind his back, and motioned for the two to follow him. Jack and Justin looked at each other, as if Edward knew they were coming, trotting to keep up with Edward.

The library was very tall, very large, and the entire three floors were full of books, which opened Jack's eyes, you must know that he had not read books in Fury Point, but he could not find thirty books in the entire Fury Point, and he had only seen four or five books himself, and the collection of books in the Rheinland College made him deeply suspicious of his own worldview.

When Justin said that the Rhine Academy was really extraordinary, and the royal family's collection of books in the Silver Moon Kingdom was probably only one-tenth of here, Jack decided to close his mouth and nod in agreement, and his family's shame should not be said.

After climbing four floors of thick cedar staircase, Justin was very curious about the small rooms on the fourth floor of the library, the few servants who seemed to be squatting in the corner and lazy, could not hide from the two men, one had seen all kinds of pirates and merchants in Furyhorn, and the other was from the Rhine royal family, and from the shape of these men and the eyes that looked at them, these people knew that they were good at fighting.

"Those are your seniors. Edward didn't look back to know what the two boys were thinking, and at the same time he was very dissatisfied with these senior students, looking at the wolf-like eyes, how to pretend to be a servant.

After listening to Edward's explanation, Jack and Justin hurriedly glanced at those seniors a few more times before they reached the fifth floor. Follow Edward to the fifth floor.

The furnishings on the fifth floor are relatively simple, with very old-looking wooden furniture, none of which are carved, and look like a room of a common price. Edward sat down behind a large desk, two swords embroidered into two rusty sticks scraped on the wall behind him, and Justin looked stunned.

Motioning for the two who were standing there to sit down, and then a servant brought two silver cups, looking at the white gas coming out of them, Justin was not ready to take them, God knows what would happen if his hand touched the hot cup.

But Jack quickly picked up the quilt, and when he came from the North Ridge, he was sure at first glance that it was the white gas coming from the ice cubes, although he couldn't say why he thought it was anyway. Seeing Jack's intoxicated look, Justin also reacted immediately, and when the cold silver cup was held in his hand, Justin simply felt that there was nothing better in the world.

Looking at the two of them, Edward smiled, and said to Jack, "I heard that the children of Northridge have taken you as their leader. ”

Jack was surprised that Edward's yard knew about such a thing, and nodded sheepishly.

"Very nice. Edward smiled and nodded: "But you have to pay attention, they respect you now for many reasons, the psychology of oppression, and the respect for your origin, but if you can't bring them the benefits they need, I am afraid that you will not have a good time in the Rhine Academy in the future, in fact, this is not necessarily a good thing for you who have just come to the academy." ”

"I know. Jack nodded, "Dean Charlie told me a lot." ”

"Charlie. Edward nodded and said, "This guy I know, he is also very good in the eight-year system, if his background is better, the children of Northridge will not have to be angry these years, and having him as your staff will indeed make you much easier." ”

Justin was about to speak, but Edward rolled his eyes again, and he held back the words that came to his lips. Edward seemed satisfied, and although he didn't show it in his expression, Jack could feel it, because he felt good as a bystander.

"Northridge is at war. Edward's words stunned Jack, looked at Jack and continued: "The news of your family should be delivered to you in the next two days, the news of the academy is faster, your father is now leading the army, and the war has not spread to your family." Talk to those Northridge kids and it will help you build a bond with them quickly. ”
