Chapter 43: The Light of Humanity Foundation
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, after tidying up the house, Yorkham Jones walked downstairs with Qinqing in his arms.
As he walked to the second floor, Yorkham Jones tilted his head slightly and looked at Door 202 of Mrs. Marin's house, and observed it a few times with his vision through the Eye of Light before continuing to walk towards the first floor.
In room 102 on the first floor, Hemingway Hale's door was closed, and he couldn't hear any sound when he used breathing to strengthen his hearing, and he didn't seem to have come back since he went out in the morning.
"May all the best and may the goddess of light bless. ”
After praying to himself, Yorkham Jones walked out of the building.
"Sir, sir, wait a minute!"
The man in the black yarme who had been chasing him earlier had been sitting at the door for nearly an hour, his two tense eyes already bloodshot, and he could see almost everything.
Seeing the man looking at his little angel with strange eyes, Yorkham Jones immediately took a few steps back:
"Sir, don't look around, it's going to be dangerous. ”
"Ahh This.."
The man touched his head in embarrassment, then reached into his pocket to take the business card, and said:
"Sir, my name is Dutsy Yorkson, I am a talent scout for the 'Little Bee Film and Television Group', I think your daughter has the potential to become a child star, and she is very popular..."
Little bees? The film and television group will take this kind of name? If you want to lie to me, there is no door!
After glaring, Yorkham Jones immediately walked forward.
Looking at the back of Yorkham Jones, the man wanted to stop him very much, but he found that his business card was missing, so he could only clench his fists and say to himself:
"Come back tomorrow! I know where you live anyway!"
At this time, the little cutie suddenly turned around and asked:
"Mr. Ducky, where can you play the beautiful girl of the stars?"
"Of course, it's not just the star girl!, even if it's the moon girl, the sun girl is not a problem!" replied Ducky incoherently.
Hearing the answer, Qinqing's little eyes immediately twinkled with stars, and leaned into Yorkham Jones's ear and whispered:
"Jones, you can play the star beautiful girl, I want to go!"
Yorkham Jones did not answer, and gave a stare, flicking the head twice in a row.
"You have a small body, you want no meat, and you have short legs and short legs, it would be hellish if a scout could take a fancy to you! Do you really think that there will be a stupid person who names the company Little Bee?"
Looking down at his little short legs and short hands, Qin Jing immediately shook his head and was dejected:
"I see..."
At this moment, a piece of paper was blown by the breeze and floated past Yorkham Jones, and when Qin Jing saw it, he reached out and grabbed the piece of paper in his palm.
Looking at the bee pattern and the text on it, Jingqing immediately shook the piece of paper in front of Yorkham Jones's eyes.
"Jones, what's written on it? I only know the word 'small'. ”
At one glance, Yorkham Jones's mouth immediately opened in surprise.
Damn it.. What kind of genius is this?
"Jones, what's it?"
"Little... Little mosquitoes..."
"But the pattern is obviously a bee!"
"I don't know about this, let's throw it away, today we're going to see Mr. Shinichi, I don't think you want to use your little black hand to see him, right?"
"Really!"
"Of course!"
"Lalala!"
In the midst of a burst of cheers, the two of them got into a carriage and drove towards the 'St. Cotin's College'.
...
Forty minutes later, after paying 4 Wakey, Yorkham Jones stepped out of the carriage with Jingqing in his arms.
It's expensive... It's close to 1 wall back and forth, and then the speed is slow, and the good means of transportation like the magnetic suspension flying car are not introduced, and I don't know what the high-level leaders of the Norkeland Kingdom are thinking...
Muttering a few words, Yorkham Jones continued to walk towards the gate of the academy with him in his arms.
As soon as a few school guards at the door tried to stop him, Yorkham Jones lit up the golden light badge that Lux had given him.
The school guards glanced at it, and they all hurriedly retreated, and respectfully saluted Yorkham Jones.
It's so easy to use...
Muttering, Yorkham Jones stopped in the square at the entrance of the college, it was the winter moon, and the winter cherry blossoms around the square were extremely luxuriant, if it weren't for the many college signs around, Yorkham Jones would have thought he had come to the observation park.
The overall style of the college building is similar to that of the Balancers Association, with blue and white lines intersecting, a neat and simple style, and it looks very capable.
After entering the academy, I was greeted by a huge sculpture of 'St. Cotin', still an image of a kind fat uncle.
The Qin in his arms glanced at it, and immediately pointed and asked:
"Jones, it's this uncle again! He's famous! I've seen him in so many places!"
Yorkham Jones nodded back:
"He is indeed the most famous besides the gods. ”
"Is he a very powerful transcendent?" continued to mumble in a low voice.
"No, he is human, the greatest human being. ”
"Then why didn't he become a transcendent?"
"He only believes in humans. ”
In reply, Yorkham Jones bowed respectfully to the statue, and then walked towards the golden avenue of willows on the left.
Looking at the nearly ten avenues around him, Qin Jing hurriedly asked:
"Don't you ask for directions?"
"I've been there many times. ”
Of course... It's a projection map...
With a reciprocal reciprocal sentence in his mouth and heart, Yorkham Jones recalled the message of 'St. Cotin's College'.
...
St. Cotin's College is the largest college in the Kingdom of Norkeland and is almost as large as a medium-sized town, where you can study from elementary school to graduate school.
It was a commoner academy, and of course, there were many old aristocrats who would come here to study.
According to the rules left by the founder, King St. Cotin, the ratio of nobles and commoners to this college has always been 3:7.
In St. Cotin's College, no matter how good your background and money are, you can only eat better than others, and all you can rely on is your own ability.
As long as you excel in one area, you can have a bright future, because St. Cotin's College contains almost all disciplines, even farming, which is a great subject here.
This is not nonsense, because every year many poor countries come to St. Codien to learn how to farm.
St. Cotin's fees are very peculiar, it is charged according to the family's wealth, the more money the family has, the more they receive, and the poorest not only do not charge a fee, but also have a bursary.
Of course, this is not a 'hatred of the rich', but an investment, an investment for humanity.
Moreover, there is a cap on fees, and there is a clear sign of affluence hierarchy, so there is no oppression.
St. Coteine's College was able to do this mainly because it was not funded by students, but by a foundation.
The Foundation, known as the Light of Mankind, was founded by King St. Codine out of his own fortune before his death.
If you were to ask how much money St. Codin had, it would only tell you that when King St. Codine was at his richest, he alone controlled more than 50% of the wealth of the entire continent.
After the death of King St. Cotin, the Light of Humanity Foundation was held by the Temple of Light and the Church of Darkness.
Forty percent of the funds were used by the two churches themselves, two percent were used to develop and maintain the 'light of mankind', and two percent were used to support the rest of the organizations founded by King St. Cotin, such as the Balancers' Association, medical relief, and so on.
And the last 2 percent belong to St. Cotin's College. ’
Hundreds of years after the death of King St. Cotin, the Light of Humanity Foundation remains true to the Goddess of Light.
It works for every human being, and as long as you are human, no matter what country or color you are, it will definitely pull you when you are desperate.
But it has some premises, it doesn't help the wicked, it doesn't help the betrayers of humanity, it doesn't help the selfish hedonists...
The original intentions of these premises were all good, but after being packaged in the language of the aristocracy, these good things became imprisoned one after another, so that the Foundation's attempt to pay for the reconstruction of the slums was blocked several times...
Even the Temple of Light wanted to pay for it itself, but it was blocked by many legal procedures.
The most common reasons are:
1) These people are lazy and depraved, selfish, and unworthy of saving.
2) Light is the light that guards humanity, not maggots.
3) Facing everyone equally, but it does not face those who are unwilling to work hard.
4) Maybe the money should be spent elsewhere than they do.
5)...
Of course, it is not that the nobles are not afraid of the gods, but because from the day the gods appeared in the human world, the first words they said were:
"Humans belong to human beings, not gods. ”
So unless it is the end of the world, the gods will basically not care about human beings.
And in the time of Yorkham Jones, this sentence had a clearer note.
In the textbook "Humans and Gods", it is written that human beings have come to the world with creation and destruction, and the duty of the gods is to remind them of the wrong path of human beings when they are on the road to destruction.
...
Over the years, the 'Light of Humanity' has declined a lot due to the rise of the Confederation of Walson, but it still controls 35% of the world's wealth, and although many parts of the Foundation have decayed and degenerated, the core position is still full of light.
And the 'St. Codine' is the brightest place, every year on the day of the gods' descending, the 'Holy Maiden of Light' will come here, she will purify all the haze of the academy, no matter where you hide.
In addition, the Temple of Light and the Dark Church will also send extraordinary professional teams to guard them.
Finally, it is very difficult to graduate from St. Cotin's College, which basically does not exceed ten students per year, and most of the students are swept away before they graduate.
For graduation requirements, it not only has performance requirements, but also personality requirements, but every student who graduates from St. Cotin is full of bright idealists.
Of course, the school also teaches students how to deal with the coexistence of ideals and realities in their minds, in the words of King St. Cotin, 'Think the best, and then start building on the worst of it.' ’
