After the exam, Aurora interviewed one by one.

She asked them the same question, "Do you think everything you learned in the books is correct? Is there any doubt? Be sure to tell the truth."

Each of the five alchemists has its own unique character.

Aurora looked forward to their reply very much.

But the first person interviewed, a recent graduate, disappointed Aurora.

He took it for granted that after the book was compiled, it must have been checked repeatedly, and all theories were correct.

Otherwise, the tutor would not have written a book to teach so many students.

When she finished asking this question, the classmate was invited out of the interview room.

Aurora was a little afraid that the other four would have the same answer.

Surprisingly, the other four people did have the spirit of scientists to get to the bottom of the matter.

They felt that some things in the books did not make sense, and some even conducted experiments to refute the theories in the books, but the result of questioning was the whole school's criticism.

With just one question, Aurora made a decision.

She announced on the spot that she would accept the four who questioned the books, while the other fresh graduate would not.

The fresh graduate was very confused. His grades in the school had always been among the best. All the tutors praised him for his solid knowledge. Among the five, he was the only one who had received a scholarship from the school. Why didn't he want him?

McGill was also there, and he helped the students ask why.

Aurora said calmly: "Because what I need are practitioners, people who are brave enough to explore the truth, not old-fashioned alchemists who are stuck in some wrong theories in books."

McGill looked Aurora up and down, and said with deep meaning: "You are not afraid that those mentors will listen to your words and make trouble for you."

"What are you afraid of? If you have the ability, they refute me with facts." Aurora is the least afraid of others talking about theories with her, and she relies on the authority of the goddess.If she dares to be tough on her, she can destroy the other party's reputation for the rest of her life.

The fresh graduate was very angry when she saw that Aurora was so dismissive of the knowledge in the books, "Why do you say that the theories in the books are wrong. They were compiled collectively by the very powerful tutors in our school."

"I didn't say that the theory in the book was wrong." Aurora asked him a question calmly, "Is the mentor a human?"

"It must be a human being." The graduate replied angrily, feeling that it was really impolite for Aurora to ask the supervisor if she was human for no reason.

"It's good to be human." Aurora took a sip of water. "No matter how powerful, respected, or great those mentors are, human beings will make mistakes. Do you know why I said that there are theoretical errors in books? There are actually In a sentence, God created all things, and all things are alive. I don’t know what the teacher who wrote this sentence wanted to express before and after. But how many generations have you changed the gods you worship on Sunday? Once they change, our world will be extinct and regenerate. Does it make sense? Theology should not appear in a book that imparts knowledge logically and meticulously. Even if the whole world believes in God, no theoretical book can use God as a basis to explain anything. The talents I need now are based on Practice is the basis, if you really want to make new alchemy products, if you completely follow this book to do experiments, why should I hire you, do you have time?"

Aurora spoke so bluntly that all the observers came to their senses.

The graduate's face turned pale, and he muttered, "Are you saying that books really can't be used as a basis for practice?"

"No, what I mean is that it has arguments and cannot be used as an experimental reference." Finally, Aurora invited the mentally shocked person out of the manor.

Before leaving, McGill patted Miguel on the shoulder, "Your wife is very brave and powerful, you are blessed." She was not afraid of offending the book editors of Imperial College, and bluntly said that they were wrong.

However, Aurora's words did express the feelings of many people. When the teachers of the Imperial College compiled the books, they would use gods to fool students when they didn't understand something, even if the magic books couldn't escape the fear of being dominated by gods.

Can't figure it out?It is right to add God to it.

McGill, as a serious mentor who has been promoted, finds it ridiculous every time he sees God mentioned in the magic book.

It's just that no one has mentioned that there is a problem with this approach. It has always been the case, and everyone thinks it is normal.

Commoners don't care about whether knowledge is wrong, and nobles don't pay attention to what happens if knowledge is wrong.Leading to asking questions won't do much, and will instead lead to flak from the instructors.

Aurora did not study at the Imperial College, and her future son would only use the textbooks provided by the system, so he must not let the Imperial College be harmed.

Well, it seems that the territory can also build a school.

Aurora glanced at the source of the love value, very good, the four alchemists she left behind all contributed love points, proving that she was not disgusted with her remarks.

The alchemist was hired, and the trip to the imperial capital was a complete end. Aurora packed a lot of special gifts from the imperial capital to take back, including popular clothes in the imperial capital, small magic toys, and flying broomsticks for children.

Children's flying brooms are specially designed for children, with a maximum distance of two meters from the ground. Lisa has a talent for magic, so it can be used completely. However, the current flying brooms are still relatively backward and need magic power support. How far they can fly depends on how much magic power they have.

People in the imperial capital advertised that this is the latest mode of transportation, and it has been in vogue for a while.

Aurora has tried it, it’s assy, ​​it can fly as fast as it can go, it’s expensive, it’s okay to play with, and it’s pure nonsense to use it as a means of transportation.

……

In the port, two months ago, the street kid Kappa contacted the friends around him and asked if anyone wanted to leave.

He didn't give a clear date on how they would leave, just asking jokingly.

Some expressed their willingness, and some felt that life is good now, which is better than not being able to eat, and they were afraid that leaving would be even more miserable.

Of course, Capa didn't talk about this frequently with the children around him. He has been inquiring about Beichen's territory a lot these days.

I found out that Aurora, the noble lady's territory is really short of people.

Only then did he confirm that Aurora was not joking.

To be honest, for these children, going to Beichen rashly is no less than gambling.

Capa doesn't want to leave the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den. At least the port of the imperial capital can survive, but it's only for boys, not girls. , Girls run away, it has almost become an annual practice.

After confirming that the Earl and the Countess had not reported any interest in abusing others, Capa made up his mind to take his younger brothers and sisters away.

He is very careful, the people who are going to leave together are equally determined, and they will never be half-hearted.

Capa and Eliza conspired for a long time before they selected five other people. The two still didn't say when they would leave, but only said that they would go to a far away place. If they believed him, they would follow.

The news is actually not too confidential, there are only a few places where children can talk, and adults can see through children's thoughts with a little thought.

But Capa has never acted, and he didn't see them in contact with anyone, so his superiors just turned a blind eye, wanted to leave, and wanted them to have money.

Capa's inaction does not mean that people who also want to leave will not find him. The information network among children is more complicated and well-informed than that of adults.

In the middle of the night, drunks can still be heard in the streets and alleys in the port.

The lights were on all night, and only the residential building fell into silence.

Daniel, a kid from a hostile organization that often confronted Capa, came over quietly in the middle of the night, and Capa, who was vigilant, didn't want to say anything to him.

But the tit-for-tat person suddenly knelt down and begged, "Please help me, please."

Capa hesitated. He saw that the adult guarding them was dozing off, dragged Daniel and sneaked into the field.

Capa: "Didn't you do well under them? Why did you come to me and tell me to leave? I didn't want to leave, it was all rumors."

"I can't help it. My sister is ten years old. You know, she is very good-looking among us children. The leader wants to sell her for gold nests. You also have a sister. You must understand how I feel." Daniel's eyes were red, Biting his arm with sobs, he forced back tears, "Please, you really have a way to leave this place far away, take Tiffany with you, and I can hold them back for you to leave."

Every time Daniel thinks that his sister is about to be sold into a brothel, he can't restrain his mania.

Capa didn't want to believe it, his sister was only ten years old, didn't she usually sell into those places when she was twelve or thirteen?

But Daniel's character, as an opponent, is very clear, not the kind of person who talks about it.

Daniel is loyal, intelligent, and strategic, and he is particularly prestigious among the children in their organization.

If Daniel hadn't belonged to another rogue organization, Capa might have become friends with him long ago.

The people above always talk about selling girls to sell gold nests as enjoying blessings and receiving God's baptism.

But no matter how nicely he said it, he couldn't hide the filthiness. Capa thought of his second sister, who was almost ten years old, and the way the adults looked at her sister every day became more and more perverted every day.

Capa was silent, and Daniel waited for his answer.

"You can go together, but I'm also betting." Capa said.

Daniel became vigilant, "How many people are there on your side, and who is the other party, you didn't ask?"

"I can't say much, and I don't know. You just need to decide whether to go or not. She is not from the imperial capital. If you make the right bet, we will get out of the sea of ​​suffering. If it is worse, I don't think it will be worse than now."

They were beaten twice in three days, and they ate rotten black bread, and they never had a meal.

And a steamed bun can be sold for a silver in the emperor, and he grew up so big, it might not cost a silver in total.They are the most worthless labor force on the market. If they are killed, no one will bury their bodies, and they will only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Instead of living a humble life in the port and getting dirtier, it is better to fight, maybe it will be a new world.

Daniel was still worried, "Aren't you afraid that your sister will be sold into those places when she goes there?"

"Otherwise, what can you do?" Capa gritted his teeth, "We have no choice, only one chance to escape."

Every child knows that those who dare to escape, after being caught, can only die. The organization will not keep people who resist, they will kill the germs of growth.

Daniel looked fiercely, "Is the other party willing to accept many people?"

"I don't know, they didn't have much cargo on their return journey, so I boldly asked someone to go with me." Capa said again: "There is not much time left, it should be in these two days, if you decide. When the time comes Hearing a long whistle, ran to berth 18 at the port."

Just because they had prepared the signal and response long ago, Kapa and the others did not expose anything. There was only one conversation with each other, and there was no second conversation, so there would be no risk of exposure. Everyone knew it well.

Daniel understood, he turned and left, and Capa also returned to the residence in the dark.

That night, Capa was in a complicated mood, tossing and turning. Hearing the unpleasant snoring of the watchman, he hugged Dumpy, who was sleeping soundly, and hoped that everything would go well.

the following few days.

People with a shared desire to escape are waiting for news.

Gradually, people's hearts fluttered.

The leader who guarded Capa suddenly talked to him that day. Capa thought he knew the news that he was going to escape, so he stood in front of the leader calmly.

The boss is not a strong man, he is very thin, and his eyes roll from the slit-like eyes, which is very creepy.

"Sir, what's the matter?"

The skinny chief liked to be addressed respectfully, and Capa followed the trend by addressing him as Mister.

"That's right, your team has recently brought in more money than other teams, so the higher-ups have decided to reward you with a day off. You can go for a walk in the city, or choose to take a break." The boss grinned, showing his yellow teeth .He thought that such a reward was generous enough for children.The idea was actually to reward them with a piece of rags, but he thought it would be more cost-effective to wipe their feet with rags, so he took the reward money and changed it to give them a vacation.

Capa's expression management almost failed, he smiled stiffly, pretending to be very surprised, "Thank you sir, we will continue to work hard, but can we have a holiday in two days, my brother wants to go to the city to see the bard on his birthday Sing."

The boss doesn't remember the child's birthday. Capa knows this very well, so he made up nonsense.

"Okay, then just tell me that day. Don't think about escaping. Only you and your brother can go to the city that day, and no one else is allowed. We will look for you. When you leave the imperial capital, you will be sold into slaves. Life is better than death." The boss did not forget to threaten.

Capa nodded and bowed, saying yes again and again, he would never run away, "I will work with the boss for the rest of my life, and when you get promoted, you will definitely be able to support the younger ones."

"Good, good, ambitious."

Capa breathed a sigh of relief.

Eliza was waiting outside the door. When the boss came out, he glanced at Eliza's chest and curled his lips. There are no well-developed children in the team. There are several in the next-door organization, and they sold two of them at a high price. up.

Swept by the disgusting sight, Eliza trembled all over, seeing the whip in the boss's hand, she had no choice but to pull her brothers to lower their heads.

Capa silently looked into the eyes of the boss, clenched his fists, and his determination to escape became stronger and stronger.

Just a little bit, and they can't go wrong.

Little Short looked up at his brother, and asked concerned: "Did the boss hit you again?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, the boss rewarded the two of us for a vacation." Capa didn't want to expose his thoughts of running away in front of his younger brother, so he comforted him: "You have to remember, your birthday is coming soon, and then we will have a day off to play .”

Little Shorty smiled innocently: "Okay."
