Chapter Forty-Six: Library Staff
There were two options before him.
1: Find foreign help.
2: Travel through other worlds, use the different time flow rates of the two worlds, be diligent and make up for your shortcomings, and work hard to overturn your talents.
How hard do you have to work to undo talent? Thrice? Ten times? Or a hundred times.
Landing on a raised pillar of kryptonite, Arthur crossed his legs and supported his face with his right hand: "Maybe you should prepare with both hands." ”
I also look for foreign aid, and I also learn it myself.
Even if you can't learn the essence, the style can at least satisfy you to the greatest extent.
With this in mind, Arthur flew back to the book through the window, wrote Luthor a list of materials, and asked when he would be able to arrive.
After receiving a response, another order was given to Paul for the construction of an underground fortress.
……
Wolverine World, Los Angeles Mountains, Canada.
Midair.
A figure suddenly appeared, and Arthur fell vertically downward, but fortunately, his reflexes were amazing, and he returned to flying.
"Didn't they all fall on flat ground before?" The corners of Arthur's mouth twitched slightly, and he swooped down in one direction.
Bang!
Thunder appeared out of thin air on a clear day, and lightning penetrated into the woods, startling the townspeople, who frequently looked sideways.
After a while, a big boy with a strong physique came out of it, and in the surprised looks of a couple, he complained: "It's really unlucky, it thunders in broad daylight." ”
"Thunderbolts on a sunny day are not common." The man came back to his senses and smiled.
"You're from outside, right?" The woman let go of the man's palm, approached the fence, and asked curiously.
There are only a few dozen families in the town, and the people have a good relationship with each other, and there are outsiders, which can be seen at a glance.
"Yes, ma'am." Arthur spread his hands helplessly, and the lie came out of his mouth: "My friend and I are separated. ”
The main reason why he came to the town was because he had no identity information.
Amid the woman's exclamation, Arthur walked into the town.
Find a library and go straight in.
An old man with glasses heard the door open, looked up and asked, "You're not from here, are you?" ”
"Yes." Arthur calmly, stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Can I work here for a while?" ”
"You can stay as long as you want. The salary is very small. The old man lowered his head and continued to sort out the books on the table.
The library is a joint establishment of the surrounding towns, not only the library, but also the town's schools, hospitals and other landmark buildings.
This is one of the main reasons why Arthur came to town.
"Just enough to buy food." Arthur scratched his head innocently.
In the days that followed, Arthur became a member of the library's staff. The staff tag on the table has changed from Stan Lee to Arthur.
"Hey! Arthur, is there a new Superman comic? The boy rushed into the library in a hurry, stopped the car sharply, grabbed the frame of the counter with both hands, and asked breathlessly.
"John, aren't you afraid that your dad will kick your ass again." Arthur turned around and rummaged through the cardboard box: "Take the breakfast money to buy comics." ”
"For Superman, be fearless."
"Okay...", he finally found it in the cardboard box, and took out a volume: "You're lucky, the new superhero comic arrived last night." ”
"Cool!" John wasn't listening at all, he put the money on the table, and couldn't wait to open the comics, indulge in the world of comics, and couldn't extricate himself.
Arthur looked at his departing back, sighed and shook his head, hoping that the person was okay.
He clearly remembered that the last time John was beaten was a week ago, the last time was two weeks ago, the last time...
The average is a little over a week anyway.
This is due to the fact that the author discontinues the publication every month.
Pull out a chair and sit down, reopen the books on house design that are on the table, and bury your head in reading.
In this kind of life, he has lived almost half a year. After the original library owner taught Arthur, he returned to his home to retire and let him come to the library.
It's not nonsense, at most, there are some private goods hidden when they buy them.
Of course, he didn't forget that he traveled through the world, not only to learn, but also to see if there was anything that could strengthen his ontological strength.
After all, his current ontological strength is still very weak, and Zansha needs magic spells to transform.
Syllable!
Close the book and nibble on another one.
Except for most of the people who didn't understand it, the others seemed to understand.
"Are there any new children's story books?" A woman in a denim jacket walks into the house, her shadow stretching extremely long in the sunlight.
"Be prepared." Arthur pushes out the kraft-wrapped cuboid on his right.
"Thank goodness it's finally here." The woman's name is Kayla, and she is an elementary school teacher in the town, and the children affectionately call her the Silver Fox.
She walked to the counter, took it, and was about to tear it open, but heard Arthur tap on the table, and suddenly said, "Look what I forgot." ”
He took out a note from his denim jacket and placed it on the table, explaining: "The kids have been making a fuss for a long time. ”
"The town is too far away from the city, and the transportation is not convenient." Arthur skillfully searched for money: "Please take it." ”
"I know." Kayla took the change, nodded and smiled: "I will still trouble you in the future, this book won't last long." ”
"I can only try." Arthur changed his words: "But it's never a way for you to pay for books like this." ”
Kayla tore open the kraft paper, and the scent of ink came to her face: "If the children can be happy, I will be happy." ”
"Great." Arthur found an adjective.
"It's not great." She smiled, said goodbye to Arthur, and left the library.
Kayla's husband is a lumberjack, James Rogan.
Later the famous Wolverine.
Arthur had met him once, with a beard and a penchant for smoking cheap cigars. He comes to town almost every day to pick Kayla to and from work.
Stretching hard, Arthur stepped out of his chair and began his day's work, placing the new books on the shelves one by one.
……
A few days later, just as Arthur was packing his things and getting ready to leave work, an unexpected man approached him.
The principal of the school where Kayla taught, Principal Henry.
"I'm sorry, but I haven't met Kayla either." Arthur stopped his movements and apologized, "Have you ever found his boyfriend?" Maybe she's not feeling well today. ”
Principal Henry said: "I got in touch, but his boyfriend also disappeared, just at nine o'clock in the morning, ran away at work, and didn't ask for leave." ”
"Yes," said Arthur, "perhaps they left together." Went to the big city. ”
Headmaster Henry sighed, "I hope so." "There are only a few teachers in the school, and now that one is gone, the children's curriculum will definitely be left behind.
Although there are not many courses in total.
"I can only make it up myself, I hope I can still pick it up..."Henry thought silently in his heart. Looking up and smiling, he said, "Excuse me." ”
"It's nothing." Arthur said gently.
Has the plot already begun?
Patiently sorted out the books on the counter, made up a random reason for leaving, and wrote it down on paper.
Arthur walked out of the counter, out of the library, carefully locked the door, put the key in the flower bed on the right side of the door, and went into the forest, after making sure that there was no one around: "Zansha! ”
