Chapter 318: A Chance Encounter in the Long Corridor
Elizabeth didn't know that Jonas would think so far on this topic, she just rejoiced as she walked that Jonas didn't delve into his own abnormality and let herself go, and whether Gabriel would remain a pervert in Jonas's impression forever was out of her mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking back to Nader's room with palpitations, Elizabeth didn't have time to lie down on her carpet to rest, and Nader on the side asked, "How is it, has I brought news from here to Gabriel, and besides, you have checked around the outside and found any good way to escape?"
Nader has never been at ease since Andreas left the room, as a priest, Nader is not naturally a character who likes to get angry, and he is mostly approachable and kind to others, and anger is really a distant thing for him.
But this time it was different, going to Avignon, the hidden connotation behind it, for Jonas and Andreas, in Nader's view, is undoubtedly an unbounded world, and it is also a world that Jonas and Andreas should not set foot in, he doesn't want his students to be in danger, and he has to leave here quickly to go to Avignon, so in this matter, Nader is very tough, and the external manifestation of this toughness is anger.
But when he really kicked his students out of the room one by one, leaving only himself, Nader could feel a very strong sense of gasp, and always felt that he was a little sorry for Jonas and Andreas, especially Andreas, he was just a child who didn't know anything, but he lost his temper with him so much, which was really embarrassing.
Nader is in a dilemma, on the one hand, the ideal in his heart, on the other hand, the kindness of his students, and then, it seems that Nader has no choice but to tell Jonas what he knows in exchange for Jonas's understanding, so that he can leave Genoa and go to Avignon, and then follow Jonas back to Bierro, there is no choice but these two.
But these two are not willing to be done by Nader, and the only way Nader can think of in the end is to find a way to survive in this vast huge palace, and take advantage of the misty night to quickly take Gabriel and Elizabeth out of this palace together, and say goodbye again without saying goodbye.
This is the most appropriate way Nader can think of, although with Nader's clever brain, you can imagine how angry Jonas and Andreas will be when Nader gets rid of them again, but in Nader's thoughts, he still feels that it is more important to hide this matter, so he will ask Elizabeth to quickly inform Gabriel and let him prepare.
But despite the decision, Nader's inner activities are still very complicated, as a person with a moral bottom line, he knows how bad what he is doing now, and every time he sits alone in a chaise longue, he always recalls the scene when he taught Jonas and Andreas and the members of the Ruger family in that classroom with a few windows.
At that time, he was full of benevolence, morality, courtesy, righteousness and shame, telling them not to lie, not to deceive their relatives, but now, he is doing what he does not let them do, thinking of this, a deep sense of shame will come to his heart, burying Nader's whole person in it, that kind of pain, by no means a thief can feel.
When bad people do good deeds, it is heaven, and when good people do bad things, it is hell.
Elizabeth saw Nader, there was no surprise, the two of them had the same mind, what Nader was thinking, as long as he wanted to know, then it only took a split second, Nader's current thoughts could immediately pour into his mind, so she also knew how entangled Nader's heart was at this time, and with so many distracting thoughts, wanting to rest for a while was obviously wishful thinking.
"Gabriel has been informed there, and I have looked at the whole palace, I have to say, your students will really enjoy it, this palace is simply unexpectedly large, especially in the arrangement of the secret passages, I almost got lost, but for us, this is good news, I can assure you, these secret passages, your students must not know. ”
Nader's entanglement did not affect Elizabeth, as an old goblin, she has seen a lot of joys and sorrows, no matter how bad the person, she has seen it, no matter how good the person, she has also seen it, these small entanglements may be a big thing in Nader's heart, but for her, the most terrifying time is as if it does not exist, how can she care about you, me and him in that relationship?
If Elizabeth is afraid of anything, in addition to those unknowable things, the only thing she can be afraid of now may be Jonas himself, which is why Elizabeth did not tell Nader that she met Jonas in Gabriel's room and corridor, because Elizabeth was afraid that Nader would hesitate after hearing the name of her student, and then she would have to delay here for a while, which is something Elizabeth definitely does not want to see.
Her urgency to leave now is definitely greater than Nader's, this is the instinct of biology, and she can't restrain it at all, and this instinct to escape from natural enemies makes Elizabeth naturally put Jonas's matter aside and not mention it.
"So, can you leave tonight?"
Nader has no impression of the vastness of St. George's Palace, no way, he has never gone out since he woke up, unlike Gabriel, even if there are guards by his side, he can still leave the palace and walk on the street, Nader does not have this benefit, under the supervision of Jonas, except for the garden outside, it is forbidden to move forward at all, so St. George's Palace, Nader only thinks it is big, as for how big, Nader does not know.
That's why he was so surprised, it's not surprising, but between words, there is still a little hesitation between his tones, and now, Nader's heart has actually decided on the next move, but in the face of Elizabeth, he still can't open his mouth.
Jonas is his student after all, and he is also the child he regards as his own, and it is too difficult to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
"Of course, if you wish, I can go to Gabriel now, and get him ready, and we'll leave later. “
Nader's decision, Elizabeth couldn't ask for it, as soon as she finished speaking, before Nader nodded in agreement, she jumped out of the windowsill with a "whoosh", and disappeared in front of Nader's eyes in a few clicks.
"Jonas, Andreas, don't blame me, I'll come back and apologize to you when it's over, for now, let me do what I want to do. Nader looked at the bright ceiling, and the top murals that had been designed and built by the painters over the years, said very haggardly.
Midnight, quietly came, Jonas and Andreas ate in the restaurant one after another, from beginning to end, until the steak on Jonas's plate became cold, Nader and Gabriel did not appear, looking at the listless Andreas on the side, Jonas sighed, and reluctantly ordered the kitchen to prepare two dinners and send them to Nader and Gabriel's room respectively, while eating dinner hastily with Andreas and going back to their rooms.
"It's only a head when this gets~"
Jonas shook his head as he walked, and when he entered the room, he lay directly on the bed, letting himself sink into the quilt until he was unable to breathe, and then he used the strength of his waist to flip his whole body over, so that his nose was surrounded by air again, and he was able to breathe.
It has been a full 5 days since Nader woke up, and there are no 100 sentences of what the two of them said together, and 80 of these 100 sentences were all spoken on the first day when the relationship between the two people was still in harmony, as for the next few days, except for Jonas talking, Nader was basically in a state of silence, except for talking about it, most of the time he was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so that Jonas couldn't find a time to speak, until now.
This undoubtedly made Jonas, who had never suffered much setback, feel very frustrated, especially when he was originally obedient to his requirements and was very sure of his talent, and Mr. Nader's current relationship with him was so stiff, which made Jonas even more uncomfortable.
As a former citizen of the market, Jonas's least favorite thing is that his old friends are stiff, which will always make Jonas himself feel that he is an ignorant child, rather than an adult who strategizes and does not change his color.
He didn't like it, and he still does.
The partridge cries softly, the maple trees sway, the breeze hits the glass window, making a "bang" muffled sound, accompanied by the rusty iron frame with some "crunching" sounds, which is very scratchy, but Jonas has long been used to it, unconsciously, with this gradually shaking sound, into sleep, and the self-reproachful and tangled heart, also in the sleep, quickly silent, until the snoring sounds, everything is calm.
Jonas fell asleep, but Andreas on the other side was not, but the reason why he didn't sleep was not because of Father Nader's business, but because there were too many books in his bedroom that he had never read, which was why Andreas didn't sleep.
If it were just ordinary books, like the history books, prophecies and fables displayed in Billo's study, Andreas would never have stayed up all night, after all, he had already read countless of those books, and a few different ones would not have been able to raise the energy to read them all night.
After all, Andreas is still a child, and this kind of thing is the most tiring thing all night, how can ordinary children bear this sin, but Andreas still chose to read all night for no other reason, that is, the content of the book is unheard of by him.
These books are all about business and economics.
As a commercial city, Genoya has books on administration and politics, which are very rare, and most lords will have knight training books and agricultural books in their homes, so there is no market here, only how to do business books and the autobiographies of those big businessmen are the best-selling products here, and St. George's Palace is the essence of the entire Genoa aristocratic questioning, and it is naturally the most complete publication of the entire Genoa here, so it is not surprising that it appears in Andreas's room.
And Andreas would read these books, it is even more of a matter of no fuss, he never thought that a small business trade could fill an entire bookcase of books, and everyone wrote differently, their business methods and the so-called marketing methods involved behind it, Andreas had never seen before.
He could swear that before he read these books, his view of commerce and trade could be summed up in one sentence, that is, to buy goods from cheap places and ship them to expensive places to sell, and he never thought that a thing could be sold directly at several times the price after giving him other meanings, and he really did not think before that.
Especially the biographies of those big merchants, Andreas reads them very seriously, in his impression, most of the merchants are cunning, stingy, and compared with the nobles, they seem very humble, in all the picture scrolls, the merchants are always bowing their heads, prostrate in front of the nobles, a slave look, and this is also Andreas's impression of merchants from childhood to the present.
But in the biographies of these big businessmen, it gave Andreas a completely different impression of businessmen, they built bridges and roads, built schools, trained employees, assumed a part of the social responsibility, helped those old people to rely on, many, many, and in the process of their development, the sufferings they suffered were all written in these biographies one by one, in the eyes of Andreas, so that he couldn't control his reason at all, and could only turn down one by one, until one was read, and then read the next one, until he was so suffocated by urine that he got up from the bed, opened the door and prepared to go to the toiletBy the way, let the eyes relax and relax.
As soon as he went out, Andreas was in front of him a long corridor, at the end of the corridor, there were two forks on the left and right, one leading to the hall and the other to the second floor, and the toilet was at the end of the corridor, in the corridor that turned left, Andreas rubbed his eyes while walking forward, and when he reached the end, he turned right.
"Mr. Nader. “
Andreas looked at the person in front of him and whispered. (To be continued.) )
