302. Longing
The Boss of Spades and several others were waiting for Hora outside the tent, while Fanny and Anto Sky were looking at the huge map.
Watching Hola open the tent door and walk out, the Boss of Spades stepped forward and comforted:
"I'll help you keep an eye on your friend, and if I have the chance, I'll find a way to get her out. ”
Hola replied:
"Well, as long as she's okay, I'll be fine when I find Herwin. ”
Hara also looked at her companions and admonished:
"If we are separated, and one of you returns to Upper Wharton alone, go to my father, Herwen, and tell him all that has happened. ”
Antotica finally couldn't help it:
"I haven't asked you about this for a few days, but I can't stand it, Hara, what the hell is your father?"
Hearing this, the Boss of Spades quietly turned away, leaving enough space for the girls.
Fanny interjected:
"Hora, it's okay if it's not convenient for you to say. ”
Inge looked at Hola expectantly.
Hola was ready for this moment:
"After listening to Uncle Spades, you should have guessed that there are many people in Upper Wharton who have mysterious powers, and my father Herwin is one of them.
"Hevin came to Wharton a long time ago, and he's kind of famous here. ”
Inge couldn't help but ask:
"How famous?"
Hola thought for a moment and pointed to the location to the north:
"It's a barren land, and we'll travel through parts of that land to the Rat Country. ”
Antotica asked:
"Are you trying to say that even the people of the Badlands are afraid of his name?"
Hola shook her head:
"No, I mean, the whole barren land is de jure Hervin's. ”
For a long time, there was no more sound.
In the moments before the deathly silence engulfed the crowd, Fanny made a final struggle.
Although Fanny grew up in the East End of London, when everyone else knew that her father was the number one capitalist in England, a group of smiling guys "came to her", and they all tried to slap her up.
Although she has never really faced up to those sycophants, and she doesn't really like the so-called "father" who left her mother behind.
But she had to admit that it was because of her father and the hyenas who came up like carrion that she had a more accurate understanding of the world.
For example, she can tell how big a place is by looking at a map, and what such a territory symbolizes.
Fanny swallowed:
"Ho, Hora, do you mean that Herwin is a great lord in the Badlands?"
"No, well......" Hara shook her head slightly, not knowing whether to continue, "There are seven kingdoms in Lower Wharton, and one of them is actually Hevin's.
But he didn't really care about that, and he didn't care about anyone who could bring him to Wharton, so he left the place, and then it seems that criminals from other countries fled to this place, and then slowly settled down. ”
"...... Fa," Antotica forced the rest of the syllables back into her stomach, "Hora, so you mean that your father really owned a vast territory of innumerable resources and wealth? ?”
Hola nodded and stopped talking.
Even though Herwin had told her that she could tell anyone about it, she was a little overwhelmed now, as their reaction seemed to be a little too strong.
Inger stopped talking for a while:
"Hela, wait, so in a way, you are not only a princess of the Seven Kingdoms of Wharton, but one-seventh of the territory of this place belongs to your father?
Fanny held her forehead:
"My King Arthur, can you imagine how much wealth we will make if we can exploit this place? not even Orval Dickinson can match you!"
Hola looked at the excited trio with some embarrassment:
"Although my father was the theoretical owner of the Badlands, it was impossible for the people who settled there to give up their place now. ”
Several people calmed down a lot when they heard this, but Inge said again:
"It's not that this place belongs to you, it's that it belongs to you in theory, and you're a princess! ”
Hola says:
"I don't really want to be a princess. ”
Inge asked incredulously:
"How is that possible? That's a princess, and it's not a mortal princess, it's a princess of the lower Wharton!"
Hola frowned and said:
"Ingo, you're a little too fanatical, magic is no different from science, and if you really want to have great power, learning can do that. ”
Inge says:
"No, there is no resemblance between magic and science, magic is brilliant and magical, it can do anything, science has limitations, and science is boring. ”
Hola retorted:
"Magic is not omnipotent. ”
Inge suddenly looked at Hera and said:
"Do you know magic?"
Hola shook her head:
"I don't, but I know magic, I've read a lot of books, and magic is a skill and a subject that needs to be learned. ”
Inge's emotions gradually became a little intense, and his chest continued to rise and fall without waves:
"Magic can create things, Caesar and a little boy can conjure fireballs, can science?"
Antotica was looking forward to what Hola would say next.
When she talked to Hara, she had heard her say something that made her brain dizzy.
Hola says:
"Science can cure terminal diseases, science can put an end to famine, science can know how far away the stars in the sky are from us, know how many years ago we saw the light, know the most subtle secrets of the human body, know the basic composition of matter, know the nature of the so-called elements, know what time represents to mankind, know where the boundaries of the universe are, and what is the origin?
"Humanity will gain insight into the process of its birth, the structure of elementary particles, the mysteries of life and death.
"Science is human magic. ”
Inge said with a cramped expression:
"But, but, science is so hard to ......"
Hola Wen said:
"If magic wants to achieve the same effect as science, it will not take much less to do than science, but perhaps many problems have been solved by our ancestors for countless hours.
"But just mastering this knowledge takes a lot of energy compared to studying, and if you don't have a hard heart and the belief to never give up, it will be difficult to become a qualified mage. ”
Inge took two steps back.
Hola says:
"Ingo, reality is not a fairy tale, magic is not like a miracle to be mastered by you, you don't really want magic that much, right, you are just tired of your current life, you want a power that can be easily mastered, enough to change everything in your life.
"There's nothing wrong with thinking about it, everyone expects good luck, it's just that feverishly waiting for luck to come won't change anything.
"What you want is to get something for nothing, but in this world, you will always be rewarded for your efforts. ”
