Chapter 121: A Stranger's Encounter
"Did Jorah and Flegg leave too? They are very fortunate to have been blessed by the Lord of Knowledge. ”
These two men always managed to save the day, leaving a deep impression on Hermione. This is a low-risk event that doesn't need them, and they are not qualified for the high-risk things, so it's a kind of luck that they didn't get overly involved.
"I'm very optimistic about the two of them, and the students who come out of the seminary will always be the most reliable."
"I hope I can meet them again in the future, I'll go back first, please pay more attention."
Gerhardt, who was still intoxicated with the pride of his church school, also said goodbye to Hermione, and told Hermione that she would have the opportunity to study in the seminary, and with her intelligence, she would definitely be able to pass the exam and experience a different life in it. It would be even better to have the opportunity to study in the Temple of Knowledge in Lemburg.
Hermione hurried next time, the best result of going there was to work for one more person, and she was already very satisfied with the great existence of the fool.
The Church of God of Knowledge and Wisdom has recruited people from countries of faith to study through its own special system of seminary-university education, and has produced a large number of elite intellectuals who occupy key positions in the church and society, thereby consolidating faith and stability in these places.
Hermione also sighed that it was no wonder that they were able to bring these small countries together, which was about to become a school valve, but the leader in it was the church, which avoided the disadvantages of the school valve. You will not be monopolized because of one family and one surname, nor will you be rejected because of your origin, as long as you have faith in God and enough talent, you are the future.
Together, these various seminaries form a large network that holds these small broken nations together, from the University of Segall in the west to the University of Lemburg in the center, to the Maurbronn Theological Seminary, and the easternmost Dixi Theological Seminary. Together with the Temple of the Supreme Knowledge, these schools became the highest place of honor. The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom sustains them.
The only bad thing is that the requirements are too high, and Hermione feels that this place is not in line with knowledge to change fate, because the knowledge church only needs smart elites and discriminates against people who are not smart, which has a greater or less impact on society.
Perhaps those small colleges that are not famous make up for this, Hermione learned that Langeburg also has a Langer High School of Theology, which is small in scale and cannot be compared with those with a long heritage, but it also gives the locals some opportunities. If you do well, you will have the opportunity to study at a university in Lenburg or elsewhere.
No wonder it was so difficult to change and change that even Russell ended up in pieces. Hermione has no interest in any of this, they have been rooted here for many years, and they already have their own set of ways to deal with it, and their concept of life will not be so easy for outsiders to change.
Back inside the manor, Hermione went to the familiar study, where the chairs were resting against the long table, and she pulled back from the chair where she normally sit.
The books in front of me were neatly organized, and there were a few new periodicals that had not been opened, and the books that I had not finished reading the last time I bought them. Hilda, the painted adventurer, also holds a half-exposed bookmark.
Hermione made sure the door was locked, and began to prepare to pray to the Fool.
A fool who does not belong to this era~
…
I would like to ask if I can get your shelter on this trip~
I will believe in you more devoutly, spread your grace and deeds, and let your glory shine on the world.
After praying, Hermione took out the remaining purifying sun charm, which was used by Daerik for emergency protection in fear that he would be swallowed by the active shadow again. Keep it inside, I'm not weak anyway, I'm really flattened.
The others are almost consumed, so it's better to stock up on some of your own ritual magic materials, who knows what will happen in here. I have to ask someone else to buy it through the messenger, it's too barren here.
When he opened his palm, a red light appeared in it again, and there were already some more outlines. Hermione didn't expect to give Red so many charms and be beaten like this, including a precious Destiny Charm, and when she recovered, she had to ask her what was going on. She is probably the only one in the know.
Hermione, who woke up the next day, found that she had not changed, and laughed at her stupidity. Why do you have to do more, when you see this prayer message, you will probably be speechless to yourself, and you have recruited such a stupid believer.
Arriving in Dermot's room, where Hans said a few things like he would be serious today, he followed her back to the study, and Emma followed her like a transparent person.
"I have something to leave recently, during the time I am away, you must also be obedient, just read the book occasionally and understand, don't secretly take Emma outside."
"And don't sneak into those grown-up books, understand?"
Hermione had noticed that Hans was always secretly reading those special editions, and she also took Emma to share happily, saying that she would also conquer the sea like Gelman in the future.
Although he didn't know much of a word, Hermione felt that it was better not to expose him to too much of the fictional life writing content of the sea. The real world is not as reasonable as in the book, every time you can save the day, and an accident is enough for you to regret for the rest of your life.
"I see, then I'll watch Hilda's adventures and the Chronicles of Narnia, and I'll take care of my sister."
"It's not like that, I'm afraid that you will be confused by the content inside, mistakenly think it's real and run outside. You're gone, so how sad your dad must be. ”
Hermione stroked Hans and explained what she meant.
"Hermione, here's a letter from the church." Adele came in through the door, holding a folded letter in her hand.
After opening it, it was Colomper's reply. It is said that you can go first, and when you find a suspicious target, you can directly determine the situation, which can also avoid a lot of time problems.
Attached an address below, and the church head who had already informed her, just let Hermione go directly. Don't worry about someone pretending to be yourself, St. Christopher gave him a piece of paper before, which not only has information, but also a verification mark, as long as he presents it to the person in charge, they will not suspect anything after confirmation.
After collecting the letter, Hermione looked at Adele in front of her and touched her as well.
"When you study hard, you should also pay attention to the distinction between reality and reality, and don't be deceived by others. Cinderella was able to marry the prince because she was the duke's concubine. ”
"I see, Hermione, I'm not too young again, I'll ask you again when you get back."
"Then these two little ones will trouble you to be more careful."
"It's my duty, I will."
After talking a lot, Hermione reflected on how she had done the same as she had explained the aftermath, and quickly adjusted her mentality and hugged the person in front of her.
"When I come back, I can exercise more when I'm okay so I don't think too much."
After finding people one by one, Hermione picked up the rattan suitcase that had been prepared and left here, and got into the prepared carriage. She waved goodbye to the few people who saw them off behind. Now get to Langeburg and then transfer to the train to Stuttgart, if you are in a hurry you should be able to arrive late at night.
After a while, Hermione stepped out of the carriage, the sky above it was already stained orange, surrounded by neat buildings, and there were dark and sewage streets in between, which made her feel like she was back in Pritz.
Most of the pedestrians on the street were dressed formally, wearing long black coats and dark round hats. Hermione didn't have time to take a good look, though there were some things that needed to be sorted out here.
After handing over the driver, Hermione walked into the crowded train station next to her, and bought the last train ticket to Lenburg from the ticket office, passing through Stuttgart on the way, and it was already past 12 o'clock in the evening.
"Let's hope everything goes well." With that, she walked into the long-awaited train.
On the train that started to accelerate, Hermione bought tickets for the carriages of the state-class seats, which were spacious and neat and clean. Outside the transparent glass windows, the city area recedes, and there are many old buildings on the hill jutting out in the distance.
"That's probably the old Langeburg area, not bad. The urban planning below is not so good. Based on what she saw, Hermione commented on the first-time city, and then sat down on the cushioned seat and closed her eyes to rest.
The inside of the carriage was generally quiet, and the sound of wheels rubbing against the tracks was a little loud, and if someone could invent a fast and quiet rail train like a high-speed train, Hermione wouldn't mind complimenting him.
The aisle inside was very spacious due to the lack of two places, and when Hermione opened her eyes, the sky outside had completely darkened, and the crimson moonlight was shining in the mountains.
She looked at the little girl who had looked at her many times in the aisle next to her, probably older than Emma, with light blonde curly hair, looking a little fat, I don't know if the baby was too fat, and her cheeks were red. The little girl also noticed that Hermione opened her eyes and looked at her, and ran back to the front with her hand to pull the hair that fell from her forehead.
It's not a good thing to be too charismatic. Hermione pressed her black gauze top hat, and the child was probably so curious. The waiter in front also came with a food cart, which was still warm with a platter of pasta and sausage ham, and a salad with a glass of sour wine.
Hermione came to the small table on the other side and began to enjoy, this is a compulsory consumption of the special class seat included in the ticket, she doesn't eat for nothing, and she spends her own money.
The little girl sitting in the front was also eating dinner under the care of a woman. She looked at Hermione from time to time, very curious, and in her open mouth she could see that the two front teeth in the roof of her mouth had not grown, only a little trace. Usually by the age of 4, this should have full baby teeth, and Hermione doesn't know much about them.
After being watched by her for a while, the little girl suddenly lowered her head, and the woman who was feeding her next to her was not paying attention for a moment, and the spoon that fed her was directly on her nose. She looked up again, and the sauce dotted the tip of her nose, and the marks near her mouth made Hermione smile and stifle laughter.
The woman in a neatly double-breasted slim-fitting coat also apologized to Hermione, with a high nose, slightly sunken eyes, wrinkles between her foreheads, and dark blonde hair tied up at the back of her head. Looks like she's worried about her children.
She picked up the handkerchief prepared next to her and wiped the little girl's nose, with a little sadness in her eyes. The little girl brushed her hair with her hand again, and looked at her mother with a toothless smile.
There are also some well-dressed people, including children, in the front and back, and here there is a double upholstered seat on the left, and a spruce table on the right, covered with a white checkered tablecloth, for the corresponding position to rest or eat.
"Olivia, have you forgotten what your mother told you? Eat carefully when eating. There is also the need to apologize for causing trouble to others. ”
Hermione, who stopped moving, also heard the small words in front of her, although it was separated by a family of three suspected aristocratic wealthy businessmen, it did not affect Hermione's keen perception of the entire carriage.
The middle-aged man in a black suit and his wife stopped the boy next to him from watching with their eyes and told him to hurry up to eat. The lady next to her also pulled the boy, her expression a little angry.
The frown and disgust of that moment were still in Hermione's eyes. Hermione couldn't say this, after all, this public space has nothing to say about affecting others.
Luckily, Olivia wasn't yelling, just sneaking around to see her. After a brief meal, ask the waiter to take away the plates and cutlery. The taste is obviously much worse than in Geisler's house, and the sour wine that is consumed is really used to consume it.
When she was away, Hermione couldn't think too much, it seemed that it was night outside, and it was estimated that there were still more than 3 hours before she arrived in Stuttgart. The reason for the night ride is that the train has slowed down, and the scenery outside is not fleeting.
The woman who had already finished the meal and cleaned up also brought Olivia over, she looked good-looking, and there was a hint of helplessness in her apology.
"Let's go over here, it's not good to affect others."
Hermione saw that she had something to say, the small table here was crowded, and the place opposite was occupied by the family, so Hermione asked her to carry Olivia to the upholstered seat. The little girl, Olivia, sat in the middle, and they were just right on either side.
"My name is Yulia Stor, this is my daughter Olivia Stor, I just hoped you wouldn't mind, she's not very sensible yet."
"My name is Marple Austin, your daughter is cute, I don't mind showing more to the kids I like." Hermione took on her pseudonym and re-registered her identity with the Church of Knowledge, just to cover up the traces of her original name.
Olivia, who was wearing a small scarf and a small coat, looked round and grinned all the time, looked at both sides, and rubbed her little hands.
"Thank you, Ms. Austin, for your understanding, my Olivia, who is a bit of a late maturer than others, and sometimes she is like a baby, and only likes to be near the person she likes."
"Isn't it normal for children to develop early and late? Little Olivia didn't cry or make trouble, just watched quietly, already very sensible, maybe a late-blooming child? ”
