Chapter 6: The Second Dream
The carriage drove to the town, and instead of going to the lord's house, it stopped near a very ordinary house.
After the hostess got out of the car, she was taken by the soldiers into the stone house.
And then the soldiers, just stand guard outside.
The butler took Ian and tied the carriage to the hut and said, "Except when the weather is bad, we will send the mistress here every day or two, sometimes for days in a row." ”
"When it will be delivered, I will give you the schedule in advance, and remember to return to the farm before dawn."
"You follow me out first, and I'll show you the soldiers."
"Yes, sir." Ian obediently followed the butler.
The steward introduced him to the soldiers standing guard and explained his origins, a boy bought from the slums, who had been living on the farm for four years.
"But, Rex, are you sure you want such a young child to take over?" A soldier smoking a cigarette frowned at Ian.
"He's smart, I've given him the bookkeeping of the farm, and more importantly, he's obedient." The butler took the cigarette handed by the soldier, took a puff, and swallowed the clouds.
"Even if you say that, it seems that there is no way to do it." The soldier grinned, showing his smoky yellow teeth: "It's called Ian, boy, but look out for this place, the lord of this land is here, and we have the right to kill anyone suspicious on the spot." ”
"Well, but it's better not to kill, that would be troublesome."
When the soldier had finished speaking, he waved his hand and walked with the butler towards the center of town, and Ian thought to himself which entertainment place they were probably going to have a good time.
Ian didn't rush to talk to the other soldiers that night, but did his duty, stayed in front of the house, and didn't sleep all night.
Towards daybreak, the steward and the leader of the soldiers returned.
They seemed to have drunk alcohol, and there was a smell of wine on their bodies, as well as the smell of rouge of women.
The hostess opened the door and hurried out, her hair was a little messy, and her clothes were not yet tidied up, so she got into the car, and she looked a little tired.
After she got in the car, Ian and the butler returned to the farm.
"Let's go and rest, I'm going to go again tonight, I've had dinner at noon, and I'll come to Miss's room in the afternoon to listen to the class." The butler yawned.
"Yes, sir." Ian was also very sleepy, and on the first night he did not dare to let go, and dutifully stood until the butler returned.
He went to the kitchen and asked for some bread, and he went back to his room, lay down on his bed, and asked the cook to wake him up at noon.
"But... Lord Lacey is still in good health, he is at least forty or fifty years old, and he can still work hard all night... That's amazing..."
He yawned, didn't take off his clothes, and went to sleep.
Darkness clouded his vision, and he heard a hazy voice again.
"I'm already an adult! I'm already an adult! ”
....
It's that dream again.
Ian looked at the girl across the mirror and smiled happily.
"See you again, Asuka." He beckoned to the mirror.
"Why are you again?" Asuka frowned: "It's really strange to have the same dream for two days. ”
"Two days... Has it only been a day for you? Ian touched his nose: "It's been more than a month on my side, and it seems that our time flow is different."
"Whatever you want, I'm annoyed right now, don't talk to me, little brat." Asuka crossed her face.
"Thank you, I tried the gunpowder formula you taught me last time, it's true, I learned something I didn't understand." Ian said, "Now that I'm in the management of the farm, I'm getting paid, and I have three gold coins a month." ”
"Really..."Asuka looked unmotivated.
Ian scratched his head, not knowing how to deal with the situation, he didn't have much experience with girls.
Maybe he should have left her alone, but he didn't want to waste this hard-won opportunity.
Asuka is a treasure trove of knowledge in his eyes, she is a high-achieving student, a genius girl, and her IQ is very high.
Ian felt that she was his chance, and his knowledge turned out to be true, and he tried to think hard about what questions to ask and deal with his current situation.
In fact, there is an important question that has always bothered him, about "Attack on Titan".
Attack on Titan can see what happens in the future, so Alan is affectionately called "Ai Dao" by many netizens.
Ian, as an outsider, is a variable, he doesn't know if he is also in Director Ai's script, if he does something to change the future, will he be killed by the future Director Ai by some means?
As the story progresses, the Wall of Mary has not yet broken at this time, so Eren has not yet inherited Attack on Titan from his father.
Ian didn't know how to deal with Alan, so he should pay extra attention.
After thinking about it, he decided to ask Asuka what she thought about it.
