Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 316 The Bell Ringer

Nothing happened to Amanda for several days, and he even felt that he was not here for vacation.

No one took the initiative to communicate with him, and he couldn't find any acceptable tasks. It seemed that he only needed to stay in this city to complete the task.

He even thought that he might be Napoleon Bonaparte exiled on the island, although the Academy would not do that.

After wandering around for several days, Amanda decided to visit Notre Dame. She had climbed it several times before in "Assassin's Creed Unity", but it was because of the fire in Notre Dame in real life that Ayub sent a batch of games.

It is said that after that, some people joked about whether Ubisoft would give "Assassin's Creed: Origins" and "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" to players if they burned down the pyramids and the Temple of Athena.

Of course, if this kind of thing really happened, it would be a joke from hell.

But on the way to Notre Dame de Paris, Amanda first encountered the Bastille, located in the eastern part of Paris.

In the early years, it was a fortress used to defend against foreign enemies. Later, as the city continued to expand, the Bastille Fortress was transformed into a prison.

It is said that this prison actually had the best living conditions in France at that time, but no matter how good the living conditions were, it was still a prison.

The evolution of the bourgeoisie in this world has been very gentle due to the intervention of the academy, or the history that people learn now has been magically modified by the academy.

There was no violent revolution in France. The storming of the Bastille ended with the abdication of the king, and the smooth transition to the French Republic was very similar to Britain's Glorious Revolution.

Amanda holds the certificate of the college and can freely enter and leave anywhere in the city.He avoided the tourists and made his way to the top of the Bastille's walls.

Maybe you can wear a hooded trench coat and stand on the top of the city wall and enjoy the excitement of taking a leap of faith.

Although he definitely wouldn't die from the fall, if ordinary people saw him, it would probably cause some panic.

Amanda also looked down specifically, and there was no thatch pile or tarpaulin.

Boom!
A crisp little bell rang, and an old man with a stooped back and a rag on his head to cover his face struck the small bell in his hand. He spat out vague words, and Amanda was speechless. It took me a while to understand, and it was actually in English:
"Lean back, lean back, no one will pay if you fall from here!"

You have to know that when he arrived in France, even though he had prepared to learn the language here a long time ago and learned it quickly with the help of Omega, he still couldn't use his arms and fingers.

Amanda watched the old man approaching, and suddenly felt that the image of the old man was very similar to Quasimodo, the bell ringer in Notre Dame de Paris, although this was the Bastille, not Notre Dame de Paris.

"Ah, it's a child. He's really tall. But be careful. If you fall from here and hit your waist, you'll be lying in bed for the rest of your life."

Amanda nodded and leaned back.

He suddenly had some ideas, came to the pedestrian seats set up on the city wall, and shouted:

"Old man, if you have time, please come and sit with me for a while. I have something to ask about this city."

The old bell-ringer raised his head, looked at Amanda carefully, and without refusing, walked over, stretched out his somewhat deformed and wrinkled wristband, and said:

"Five francs, I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know."

Amanda took out the money and handed it to the old man. He did have a lot he wanted to know.

He asked: "Old man, have you seen any strange creatures in Huacheng over the years? For example, big lizards, people with fish faces, or those stay-at-home guests who are playing with bottles and cans?"

The old man didn't answer. He just collected the money first and then said slowly:
"No, I saw the logo on your clothes. You are from the academy. There is a language barrier here and you can only speak English. I can tell you that in the past 30 years, Paris, the Flower City of France, has never been breached by pollution. No Any evil force can do evil here."

When the old man talked about these things, he was even a little proud and showed his old face, which was not ugly at all.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Kamodo, you can just call me Lao Ka. Young people, if you want to find any tasks in this city that can complete your homework, it is probably hopeless. Graduates of the college here Either I went to Prussia or I went to other cities in France to find practices that support their homework. The new semester has just begun, so it’s not too late for you to change directions now.”

Lao Ka seems to have a very clear understanding of the college's system. On the one hand, the college's learning system is actually open to the public. As long as you inquire carefully, you can find out.

Amanda was a little embarrassed. Could it be that this city was really, as Lao Ka said, quiet and peaceful for a long time, with no surprises at all?

So, the college found a safe place to send itself here to retire?

Or, save yourself to deal with the pollution in other parts of those Nordic regions?Anyway, the area of ​​Europe is not big, so if there is a problem, I can be there as soon as possible.

Omega suddenly comforted him: "Don't worry, Amanda. Do you still remember our past experiences? Wherever we pass, something will happen, even in this city that has not had any accidents for 30 years."

Amanda's expression was a little strange. Although it was true to say that, the fact that she had a dark constitution was really not something worth comforting.

The old man seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly stretched out his hand and said:

"By the way, there's one more thing. If you really don't want to be exposed to any danger, you can go to a place for ten francs. I'll tell you where that place is. If you just complete your homework report for this semester, it won't be a problem."

Amanda became interested and took out the money. The old man put it away carefully and continued:

"When this prison was a fortress, around 17, it withstood an attack by witches. It is said that there are still some corpses of witches buried in the basement, as well as the bones of their witchcraft creations, which is enough for you to study. "

Amanda nodded and thanked her. It seemed that she couldn't go to Notre Dame today. While she still had time, she could go to the underground of this prison.

The old man bid farewell to Amanda with a proud smile on his face.

Every year when I tour the Bastille, I meet several students who are assigned to intern here.I have already practiced a lot of words and tricks to trick these students into taking out their money.

He could even tell that when those students came to visit, they would definitely visit the somewhat dangerous city wall.

Alas, these days, the IQs of the geniuses in the college will drop for term reports.

As for whether there is anything underground in this prison, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, the geniuses of those colleges will use their own brains to think up a bunch of reports.
