Ms. Langsa's class is very relaxed, different from her meticulous appearance, Ms. Langza can always give examples in class, mention the small things in life to reflect the influence of history, and it is also interesting to introduce the customs of different places, and she will even mix a few jokes to make the atmosphere in the class relaxed.

At the end of the morning lesson, Ms. Langsa spot-checked Esther's dictation of some words as agreed, and to her surprise, Esther's learning ability was not at all like that of a beginner.

"Have you really never touched writing before?"

Esther scratched her head and said frankly, "To be honest, I don't remember. ”

"Don't remember?"

"Yes, I found myself on Iron Cross all of a sudden...... Luckily, Grandma Wendy from Sling's Bakery was willing to take me in, so I didn't end up on the streets. ”

Lady Langza's brows furrowed, she seemed to be thinking about something, and it took a few seconds before she smiled at Esther: "It's okay, you can come as long as you want to come in the future, you can join my Sunday class." If you have any difficulties, you can also tell me or Pastor Loss, we are willing to help people in need. ”

"Thank you! Can I stay here at noon and read? ”

"Don't you need to go eat something?"

Esther hesitated: "I have to save something, I can't help it." I don't have a salary right now, and I can't afford the luxury of going to those cafes and eating good food. Next time I'll remember to bring bread. ”

Lady Langsa looked at Esther again, her eyes resting on the girl's still immature face, and she sighed, "It's okay, my sandwich can be divided into a piece for you." ”

"W-How embarrassing is this......"

Ms. Langsa's smile was sly: "No, in my grandfather's words, it's called 'investment'. Esther is a very talented child, and she will definitely get ahead in the future. ”

Esther laughed too, feeling Lady Langsa's kindness: "Then when I come next week, I will bring a snack for Lady Langsa." ”

"Okay, then it's settled."

Esther had a very good impression of Ms. Langsa, and at first she was in awe of her teacher, but this gap between the exchanges was broken by Ms. Langsa's initiative. Especially after eating the sandwich with mayonnaise and cheese sausage, Esther's eyes brightened when she looked at Ms. Langsa.

Although the taste is far less than the various foods in her memory, this is the first time that Esther has eaten such a delicious thing since she came to this world.

She suddenly gets the joy of good food!

Maybe it's also an idea, I can find out how to make the food I remember, and let Grandma Wendy launch it as a new product in the bakery, which will definitely attract more customers.

Langsa looked up at Esther, it was only half a sandwich, and the girl was so happy to eat that she smirked. This made Langsa shake her head a little amusedly, and then took the other two word books from the bookshelf and placed them on Esther's desk.

"You can try these when you're done."

"No problem!" Esther replied energetically.

Lang Sha was quite emotional, this is really a likable and smart and studious good boy, but those doubts before, it is better to remind the local night keepers to pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in the Iron Cross Street.

In the afternoon class, Langsa took the students to read aloud a passage of the night sacred text, Esther followed aloud indifferently, and then when Langsa explained word by word, Esther quickly understood and remembered the meaning of those words, including the grammatical changes.

This is not a difficult task for Esther now, there is a feeling of a puzzle game, she can clearly feel that the world of words is open to her, such an amazing learning ability even Esther herself doubts.

At least Esther can be sure that in her memory she is not such a genius who starts a language a day, otherwise she would have been the top student in the college entrance examination a long time ago.

After today's lesson, Esther spent a lot of time in the classroom.

Eventually, she couldn't hold back and asked Ms. Langsa, who was packing up her things and preparing to leave.

"The history of the world before zero years? Do you mean the Quaternary? ”

There are indeed older epochs in this world!

Esther confirmed her hazy instinct and asked, "Was there any other era before the Quaternary?" ”

Ms. Langsa hesitated for a moment and nodded: "However, we know very little about those eras, and most of the surviving history is circulated in the form of myths and stories, and there is no conclusive and unified historical theory. You're still new to this, and I wouldn't recommend that you explore something so nihilistic, it would waste a lot of your time. ”

Esther nodded in disappointment, but quickly perked up: "And is there a book about the Quaternary here?" ”

In fact, the history of the Quaternary period is also varied, and the written records are so few that there can be no less, and only from many buildings can we get a glimpse of the prosperity of that era. The Quaternary period is more than 1,000 years old, and we don't have such important historical materials in our small classrooms. ”

Esther nodded, the world was a lot more complicated than she expected.

Ms. Langsa appreciated this curiosity and did not show any impatience: "Do you have any questions?" You seem to be interested in this aspect. If you want to learn on your own, I can recommend two history books to you, and you will be able to understand them by yourself when you are proficient in reading. You can borrow them from the library. ”

Esther happily wrote down the title of the book that Lady Langsa had said, and left the Night Chapel feeling extra fulfilled.

The street outside was dimly lit by the setting sun, and it was only then that Esther realized the hunger in her stomach, she was too immersed in the satisfaction of gaining knowledge to feel it at all.

Esther wasn't going to pay for a public carriage, so she walked down the street, and it was almost dark. In order not to cause Wendy any trouble, Esther buys a clam soup with garlic breadsticks at a stall at the end of Iron Cross.

The soup was light, with chopped parsley floating on the noodles, hardly any other seasonings, only the salty smell of clams, and the breadsticks would be very choking if they were not dipped in the soup. It's not enough to eat, but Esther is happy to change her tastes, she enjoys whatever she can enjoy, simple food and complex knowledge, which makes her feel pure happiness.

Esther sat on the bench at the entrance of the shop, leisurely fixing the sixpence dinner, but just as she was about to finish her meal, the lone maiden attracted extra attention.

There were only a few people in the shop, and even in the linen skirts that filled the streets, Esther's appearance was too eye-catching, not to mention the joy and femininity on her face as she enjoyed the food. She had long been aware of those strange gazes roaming back and forth on her, and because she didn't want to cause trouble, Esther simply pretended not to know.

But the person on the other side was not so good at concentration, and soon a man sat down on the bench next to Esther, bringing a pungent smell of wine, and he smiled maliciously: "You must know this, this is not the place for a good girl." How about it, seeing that you are quite poor in dressing, are you interested in doing some business? ”

Esther glanced back at the store suspiciously, this is an ordinary restaurant shop, what kind of business can it have?

Then Esther saw the man lean down with his right hand and make a lewd gesture.

Esther stared at the man's unshaven face, smiled and said, "This hand will break." ”

This hand of the man will break.

Esther only stated what she was sure of, and even she wasn't sure what the source of that confidence was, but she knew it was going to happen.

And the man heard another meaning from these words: "Even a bitch like you dare to threaten me?" ”

The man stretched out his right hand and was about to grab Esther's neck, but Esther suddenly stood up from the bench and narrowly escaped from the man's palm. But before the man could get up from the bench, there was a loud cracking sound in the shop, and then a kitchen knife flew out of it, quickly chopping off the man's right hand, and then slashing steadily into the bench where Esther was sitting just now.

If Esther hadn't gotten up just now, she might have broken her leg.

Blood splattered from the man's severed wrist and spilled everywhere in front of the shop, and Esther shoved the last bite of garlic bread into her mouth, bypassed the wailing man with her arms covered, and folded the empty bowl of soup on the dishwashing tray on the counter, keeping a calm expression, and leaving the shop as if she had not seen the couple arguing in the shop.

She also carefully avoided the blood on the ground, which would cause Wendy problems if she left a bloody footprint.

Something squirmed in Esther's pocket, and Esther listened carefully, and then replied to the little worm's words: "That's just his bad luck, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Extraordinary power? I'm not quite sure what you're referring to, if that's the stealing and cajoling talents. ”

"yes, I've felt it for a long time. Otherwise, why would Wendy and Fiona trust me and accept me so quickly? It's not a fairy tale again, it's a ......."

It's a world full of weirdness that makes me uncomfortable, especially the crimson moon in the sky, which makes me sick to look at, and I really hope it will fade away and return to its original form. Esther thought to herself, not realizing how strange her idea was.

"What the hell am I, you ask?" Esther blinked, puzzled by the question, "I'm just a normal person." Okay, it may be a little special, but it's just an ordinary 'person'. Or else? ”

The little bug sneered.

Esther wanted to taunt back, but her instincts told her that it wouldn't lead to more ridicule, so she silently endured the little bug's malice.

Obviously just a worm, why are you so arrogant?

Esther, who has been on the ground for a few days and has not yet had an accurate understanding of the world, will still have such naïve thoughts at this time.
