Chapter 136 The First Meeting of Friends
"Very little." Solandelle shook her head lightly, "I like to read and play the piano, but she can't read or understand music, so she can't understand many things I told her. We can only chat about the surroundings things, such as food and clothing.”

Chino: "This is the barrier. It's like raising your head at night. Some people see Fengyue, while others see—it's time to sleep."

Solandelle looked at Kino with expectant eyes: "What will you see at night?"

Kino smiled and said, "I see that when the night is deep, the sun is bright."

"When the night is deep, the day is bright." Solandelle repeated in a mutter, with a look of admiration in her eyes, "I really like this sentence!"

Chino joked, "Try to pick it up."

"Well, I think that even the darkest night will succumb to the dawn!" Solandelle rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment after finishing speaking, "Ah~ no, it's not as poetic as your sentence at all."

"There is no distinction between high and low in literature, and you have done a great job. When I was in Twilight City, it was difficult to find someone to chat with like this." While talking, Kino noticed the book on her bedside , suddenly became interested, "I also like reading books, what is this book about, is it good?"

Solandelle picked up the bedside book and said excitedly: "It's very beautiful! This book is called "The Years Gone", and it is an epic masterpiece with a long time span. It tells the story of the love between an angel and a demon. "

Chino: "I guess, this book must be a tragedy."

Solandelle opened her eyes wide: "Hey, how do you know?"

Kino: "When an angel and a demon fall in love, they often end in misfortune."

Solandelle: "Why?"

Chino: "Evils have their own stories."

Solandelle was silent for a while, and asked in a joking tone: "So~ are you an angel or a demon?"

Chino asked back, "What do you think?"

Solandelle said sweetly: "I think you must be an angel~"

Kino smiled: "How do you judge?"

Solandelle: "Because you are beautiful."

Kino patted her little head lightly, and said earnestly: "You have to beware of the immature habit of judging people by their appearance. In fact, angels are not covered with white feathers like in fairy tales, but fierce in shape and hideous in appearance— — because they are to deter evil."

Solandelle blinked: "What about demons? Are they often beautiful?"

"Yes." Kino's eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and his smile was as warm as a holly sun, "Because the devil wants to confuse human beings."

Solandelle's eyes were as pure as water, she pursed her lips and looked at Kino, and repeated the previous question: "So...are you an angel or a demon?"

Chino: "The answer I give is not important, what matters is what you take me as and whether you believe in it."

"I still think you are an angel." Solandelle smiled like sweet honey, "Because I am very happy chatting with you~"

Kino spread his hands and said with a smile: "Then believe in it."

"Yeah, it's so fun to chat with you~ I really wish that time would pass slowly, so that we could just keep chatting like this." Solandelle tilted her head and sighed softly, "I've been in the palace since I was a child , usually I can only talk to the servants. But the servants can’t chat with me, so I can only stare out the window in a daze. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve had such a happy chat with people.”

She seemed to have thought of something, pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said quietly: "So I often think, it would be great if our monthly currency policy can be changed, and we don't want to settle tuition fees in silver monthly. Everyone can read books and acquire knowledge, so that everyone can have more common topics and communicate more happily."

Kino shook his head and said, "If everyone can read, there will be a big problem—to open up the wisdom of the people. More people with knowledge are not entirely a good thing."

Solandelle asked suspiciously, "How?"

Chino: "When a person has knowledge, he will have the power of thinking and the courage to covet things that do not belong to him. If there are too many such people, the ruling class like your father will be shaken."

Solandelle: "However, if common people cannot read, wouldn't they never acquire knowledge and be only common people forever?"

Chino: "The world needs to be divided into classes. Even if there is a world where everyone is noble, those relatively weaker nobles will become the bottom - this is determined by the division of labor in society. Any country, any Cities need low-level labor to do the dirty work. The nobles don’t want to be reduced to the bottom, so they will find ways to block the upward passage of civilians, so as to protect themselves and their descendants’ class status.”

Solandelle pursed her lips and did not speak.

Chino continued: "So, in the case of limited productivity, it is important in a sense to keep most people ignorant. In my opinion, Dogorand's monthly currency policy is excellent, and it clearly stipulates Who can acquire knowledge and who cannot. Who should be wise and who should be ignorant."

"Like a carriage, the wheels should be the wheels, the horses should be the horses, and the coachman should be the coachman. Everyone concentrates on their own work and does not change their roles at will, so that the kingdom can last forever."

After Chino finished speaking, seeing that Solandelle looked at him silently, she asked with great interest, "Do you agree with my point of view?"

Solandelle simply shook her head: "No, I totally disagree."

The smile on Kino's face faded slowly, expressionless: "Then why don't you refute me?"

Solandelle's eyes were as clear as lake water: "I'm waiting for you to finish."

Chino Wu was stunned, a smile appeared on his face again, he nodded and said: "You are a very polite person."

Solandelle laughs: "Actually, I don't think 'polite' is a compliment."

Kino was a little confused: "How to say?"

"In my opinion, being polite should be a natural instinct, not an acquired rule." Solandelle thought for a while, gesturing with her little hands in the air, "For example, when you see a person eating, You wouldn't say "you are a person who knows how to eat", because people have to eat, and if they don't eat, they will starve to death. It's the same with being polite. A person should be polite. The most basic principles."

"Boom!" The heavy heartbeat caused Kino's eyes to lose focus several times. Under the impact of adrenaline, his pupils rapidly expanded, and the girl in front of him turned into layers of shadows in his eyes, flickering and interlacing.

Trembling hands ran through Solandelle's long platinum hair and stroked it gently. Kino leaned forward and sniffed the laurel-scented hair, his face blushed with intoxication: "I Why didn't I meet you sooner?"

Solandelle rubbed against him cutely, her smiling eyes curved into crescent moons: "It's not too late to know each other now! The best time to meet a friend was 10 years ago, followed by now~"

Kino smiled and nodded: "A very philosophical sentence."

Solandelle asked expectantly, "So, are we friends now?"

Kino withdrew his hand, thoughtfully: "To be honest, I don't understand the definition of 'friend', nor can I understand this word."

"Don't you have any friends?"

"Well, I have dogs, cats, wolves, superiors, subordinates, partners, but no friends."

Solandelle held Chino's hand and smiled innocently: "I will be your first friend!"

Facing the little girl's enthusiasm, Chino did not argue, but smiled cooperatively: "In this case, what gift do you have for this new friend in front of you? I have already prepared your birthday present." .Of course, keep it a secret for now.”

"Wow! I'm so looking forward to it~" Solandelle seemed to have stars in her eyes. She looked around and muttered, "What is the gift I gave you? Yes! I'll treat you to an apple! It's been washed After that, you can eat directly~"

Seeing Solandelle handing over the fresh apples on the bedside, Kino couldn't laugh or cry. He wrote the song for 11 days and replaced it with an apple.

"Thank you." Out of politeness, Kino took the apple and took a bite.

When the sweet fragrance came from his mouth, Kino was stunned: "It's so sweet."

Solandelle suddenly became very excited: "Do you like it? I planted this apple myself, and the apple tree is in the back garden. But I don't know why, but everyone doesn't like it, saying it is very bitter."

This apple looked very ordinary, without any special features, but Kino felt sweet when he ate it, so sweet that he ate it up in four or five bites, and his cheeks bulged like a hamster.

It took him half a minute to swallow, and he spread his hands: "Those who say it's bitter must have a problem with their sense of taste. This is the sweetest apple I've ever eaten."

"Just like it~ By the way, can I talk to you about your rumors? Is what they said true?"

"what?"

Solandelle looked into Kino's eyes and said quietly: "They call you the God of Dusk Death, and say you are the incarnation of Death walking in the world."
