Chapter 266: Hayna's Cross-Examination
When the steam train entered Muwan County, the surrounding air became noticeably cleaner.
Haina opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air of her hometown.
- It has to be Muwan County!
As a child, Haina knew nothing about her hometown.
At that time, she still regarded the beautiful clear water and blue sky like a jewel and the lush forest as a natural part of life.
And when she first entered the glass island, she was shocked by the prosperity.
She entered the glass island from the metro area and felt a visceral awe when she looked at the huge factories one after another, the dense flow of people, and the fact that more than two trains could even appear in her field of vision at the same time.
The people in the streets were dressed in fashionable clothes that she had never seen before, and the streets and the sky were full of knights in armor, and even circuses could be seen passing by, and magicians and singers performing on the streets, and huge churches that were sacred and solemn......
Busy and full of life, crowded but orderly.
But after a long stay, Haina will be homesick again.
She'll miss the blue sky and fresh air of her home – not like a glass island, half foggy, half sea. Only the Red and White Queens are slightly better, but only a little better.
Although there are many more kinds of entertainment on Glass Island than in Muwan County, she doesn't go out anyway. Doesn't that mean that there is no such entertainment at all?
In this case, the glass island is indeed not as fun for her as Muwan County!
"I thought young people like Miss Haina would prefer Glass Island."
Yeats, who was sitting opposite Hayna, said with a smile: "This kind of resort in Muwan County is usually only visited by middle-aged nobles who like fishing and horseback riding. ”
- It's weird.
Haina nibbled on the already cold pie in her arms, took a sip from the metal flask that Meg had given her, and subconsciously rolled her eyes.
There are all kinds of entertainment on the glass island, from safe to unsafe, from conservative to excessive, from perverted to unchanging. Young people like it, and so do middle-aged people.
"It's not just middle-aged people who come to Muwan County to travel......
Feeling that it was rude to roll her eyes, Haina added: "And I don't like to hang out on Glass Island. ”
Haina usually huddles in her dorm room, and it's not all because she's too lazy to move or doesn't have any money. It's because she's really not interested in those entertainments.
Although it was true that she had no money, it was easy for her chief to borrow a large amount of money from her classmates from merchant families—the kind she didn't have to repay, of course.
This is a very normal thing, and it can even be said that it is quite common.
Knightly families are not necessarily rich, not to mention that there are many clergy and ordinary people among the students.
The knight only means that he has had a nationally renowned ancestor in the last four hundred years, but with a little older, most of his accumulated connections have been exhausted.
All that's left is a family heirloom, a set of armor from the king or queen to give them access to the round table room. But that's about it.
The reason why Lloyd's couldn't beat it before was because these knights accepted their patronage.
Rather than sponsoring the knights, it couldn't be easier to please these good students who have not yet been exposed to society, and even most likely only have school experience. It only takes much less money to get a friendship that lasts for years and a favor that doesn't know when you'll be reciprocated.
It's quite a quality investment. As long as you cast a wide net, you can basically make a profit-
The University of Law basically controls all mainstream talents except for the military system, the Academy of Engineering, and the Academy of Sciences.
Civil servants from the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate, the Law Court, the Church, and important government departments, including trade and foreign affairs, were also given priority from the Wangli University of Law.
Also included are hired lawyers who did not join the Law Court, low-ranking priests who failed church exams but still mastered illumination, and civilian academics who are in dire need of sponsorship to support their research.
These are all valuable talents. And it's easy to get hooked up at the student level.
Even if they are really screened out, this does not mean that they are incompetent, it only means that their peers are too good. As long as you are diligent in picking up leaks, there is always a chance to ship.
Those clubs, one club after another, exist for this situation. Students have a lot of social needs, and they get a piece of the action.
As long as Haina nods, then not only will she no longer have a hard life, but she will even be able to live a good life without any scruples.
And all this did not require any commitment on her part, she just had to maintain a friendly attitude and enjoy it with peace of mind - for a genius who had only been exposed to the transcendent path from scratch at the age of eighteen and had reached the third level at the age of twenty, there were more people who wanted to give money.
- Do you dare to make a request? Then you can stay later, and you won't have a share of licking in the future.
"Oh, why?"
Yeats was a little puzzled and a little curious: "Miss Haina is so beautiful...... And the results must be very good. Aren't there any suitors around? ”
"Yes, yes, and there are quite a few. But I drove them all away. ”
Haina told calmly.
Although Haina is a little naïve...... But she's not stupid.
Although she did not know what the price of all this would be, Haina firmly rejected all temptations.
It's not that she's a natural saint - it's just that she's actually greedy for the cuties with red candles and silver crowns.
Every time she refused the temptation, she had to roll in bed with regret for a long time. It's just that the regret is over, and next time she will still stubbornly refuse the temptation.
The reason is simple.
That's just because she's cautious enough for some reason.
Haina knew that she was a village girl from a small place. She has a very low opinion of herself and is very conservative.
Although she has a hand in studying and exams, and is also very sensitive to the power of the path, she is not so smart after all, and she has no insight and experience. So she didn't know what these things meant, and she didn't know what the price of these cheap things was.
She just insisted on a very simple concept-
There is no good thing to take for nothing, everything must have a price. And there is a good chance that she will not be able to pay that price, and she will lose even more.
Merchants are extremely intelligent, even treacherous. The fact that they can make money means that they have a flexible brain - and Haina knows that she can't play with them because she doesn't have a good brain.
So she simply refused to come into contact with these businessmen and smart people.
As long as she doesn't have a deep friendship at all and rejects all offers and gifts, then she will definitely not be fooled.
At that time, she was annoyed by all kinds of social requests, but she couldn't tell the difference, so she applied for an early internship. After leaving the school, I immediately saw that it was quiet. When people saw her, the first thing that came to mind was "Inspector Haina" instead of "Chief Hayna".
Even her best friends, Haina can't say if they were sent by someone from any faction, and she's not sure if they've been bought. Therefore, Haina did not dare to listen to their suggestions and opinions.
The political situation in the kingdom is complicated. Haina couldn't read it at all.
So she doesn't stand in line at all, just asking for one without merit and no fault. As long as you can be a waste of your life.
But it was precisely because of her attitude that Meg would take her as an apprentice.
"What about you?"
Haina didn't want to talk about herself anymore, so she changed the subject stiffly: "Are you here for a tour?" Is that your tackle in that big bag? ”
Because if it is true, Haina is afraid that the other party will suspect that she is bragging; And if she proves to show the other party the evidence, it will reveal her own intelligence. When she realized that she couldn't pick it up, Haina chose not to pick it up.
That's her style.
If you don't understand, watch it, shut up if you don't understand, and don't do it if you can't do it!
In the face of Hayna's inquiry, Yeats only smiled slightly: "I'm also going home." ”
"Huh?"
Haina was stunned for a moment: "Where are you from?" ”
"I'm from Bagpipe Town." Yeats replied.
As he spoke, the bottom of his pupils glowed red.
"That's a coincidence, I'm from Eagle Cape Village!"
Haina immediately became energetic: "We're still quite close, it's all the terminal!" ”
Hearing that the two of them were destined for the same destination this time, both of them were the final destination, Hayna suddenly unloaded her guard and became elated.
She asked, "Where are you from Bagpipes?" ”
Yeats, on the other hand, just smiled and shook his head, without answering.
Realizing that she was too excited, Haina explained, "I used to read in Bagpipe Town for a few years as a kid - do you know 'The Cow and the Harbor'? ”
"Niuwan Daily, I've been reading it since I was a child."
Yeats replied easily.
This is indeed what the locals call it.
My former neighbor's grandfather was the editor-in-chief of "The Cow and the Harbor."
Haina had meant that.
But her spiritual instinct gave her a sudden pause—for she felt that it was too easy to orient herself, and that it was not good to tell strangers.
So Haina came to her lips and swallowed again.
She asked instead, "Do you work on Glass Island?" ”
Seeing that Haina did not continue, Yeats seemed to have some surprise.
He raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hayna in some surprise.
I only slept for three hours last night...... I slept for ten hours in the past three days, and I felt like I was about to die.
I'll order a takeout first, there will be a second chapter, and I'll send it later-
