Evetrona's old stories

In fact, the restaurant does not prepare such a variety of dishes on weekdays. Considering that this is in the Logos Courtyard, Siheliu wanted to make the lunch more sumptuous without showing the extravagance of the old society. Therefore, he felt that the location of the clerk's restaurant in the West Wing was the most suitable. It would not appear rigid and serious, and it would allow the group of young people to feel the living atmosphere of the Logos Courtyard Castle.For an aging person, sleepiness in the afternoon is unavoidable. Siheliu usually eats lunch at this time, and then goes back to the office to take a nap. After dark, he can deal with official business or study and study. It is not easy for him to find time to talk to this group of young people today.

"You are Eve Harveyne, and this one should be Lin Xin Weigeto." The consul Siheliu unexpectedly recognized these two young people he had always wanted to see at a glance, and Eve and Lin Xin Xin Ye is really easy to recognize, one is a beautiful little girl, the other is a strong young man, the two were named, so they walked up to Siheliu, Siheliu looked at the two, and said with a smile: " Many people told me before that young people are not interested in swordsmanship anymore, because it is no longer an era of relying on personal force. But what a person can learn is his own after all. People's swordsmanship is highly praised, and being able to achieve such a level at such a young age is enough to prove that today's young people still have strong willpower."

When Eve saw this important person at this time, she lost the nervousness she had when she received the invitation letter. Maybe it was because she was surrounded by acquaintances. I don’t know if Maoqi had thought of such a day when he invited Domenke and Erlogin to climb the mountain together.

"Willpower is really important." Eve said, "But for me, being able to persevere and my love for swordsmanship are also very important."

"That's right." Siheliu nodded, "Practicing swordsmanship doesn't happen overnight. Many people have lost their initial enthusiasm through long-term repetitive actions. The true love for one thing has to be tested. .”

Siheleu patted the shoulders of the two, and then talked to several other young people. He had never seen this group of young people before, but he called them by their names very accurately, which made everyone a little flattered and excited.

Eve mixed in the crowd and poked Lin Xin, who was too nervous to speak now, with her finger. She was about to say something to him, but caught a glimpse of Vincent sitting in the rest area behind her.

Fan Bijiu was so active when he participated in the symposium just now, but now he is sitting there leisurely and contentedly watching the play?Eve was puzzled by this.

Leaders of the New Generation (Part [-])

The Consul is going to eat.

Eve really couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart. After the consul left, she took the initiative to approach Fan Bijiu and sat beside him.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Eve asked him.

Fan Bijiu originally wanted to pretend to be calm, but when he heard Eve's question, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth proudly, and said, "You seem to know nothing, are you really a local?"

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly, do you have any relationship with that consul?" Eve continued to ask.

Lin Xin stood beside them, wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again.

"There is indeed some relationship." Fan Bijiu said, "Our surname is Polangwan."

Eve thought it was so, but after hearing him admit it, she was still a little surprised.She didn't notice that Lin Xin behind her had already left.

"So you are the Grandson of the Archon?" she asked.

"Vanbiquito is my son."

Eve suddenly heard a familiar voice above her head, and couldn't help being startled. When she looked up, she saw Siheleu standing at the table opposite them with a plate.

Eve subconsciously wanted to stand up, but she heard him say: "Don't be restrained, please sit down. I often hear Mao Qi mentioning you, and I also hear Vinbiquito mentioning you, ah, yes, and Domenke, also There are Ross and Anfa, you see, they are all people around me, and they all know you, but I have never seen you, I am too busy with work."

Eve smiled at him, and wanted to say something to go along with him, but she didn't say anything in the end. She always felt that it's better not to speak when she can't speak.

"You can treat me as an elder, just like Anfa and Ross..." He talked to Eve while eating, "Although my son is a bit naughty, his conduct is decent. Most importantly, he fell in love with you, Miss Eve."

"Father, I won't bother you to worry about my affairs." Fan Bijiu became a little anxious when he heard him mention this matter.

"Worry? Don't worry, I just think this is quite interesting." Siheliu asked Eve with a smile: "Do you want to hear about the things before Fanbijiu?"

Eve nodded and replied, "I want to hear it."

"I remember that a few years ago, I saw Xiaofan was depressed for a while... It seemed to be summer at that time, so I asked him what was the matter, but he didn't say anything. At first I was worried that he was being bullied, so I sent someone to watch him secretly. As a result, I found that he had been sitting in the big library of Bomeng in a daze for a few days. It was only later that I realized that he was waiting for you to show up."

Fan Bijiu lay on the table, propped his head with his hands, and accepted his fate.

"It's quite interesting to say. After I heard the news, I was very happy. My first reaction was—so my son has reached this age..."

Speaking of which, Eve heard someone snickering behind her. She glanced back and saw the duo of Domenke and Ologin sitting there, surrounded by several young people.

"Later, he asked me—what should I do to pursue girls? But I'm not good at this, otherwise I wouldn't have started a family so late." Siheliu looked at his son with love in his eyes.

"Okay, father, this topic is over. If you continue talking, your son may not be able to face Miss Eve again." Fan Biqiu asked earnestly.

"Okay, don't say it, I won't say it." Siheliu smiled and waved his hands, "Eve, you are so smart, you must understand why a father would say this."

"I can understand." Eve nodded quickly.

"You should be a few years older than Xiao Fan. Although he knows how to take the initiative to learn and understands a lot, he is still far behind in terms of maturity and behavior. If he has a friend of the same age as you by his side, I can feel much more at ease."

"I'll take care of him." Eve regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth. This sentence always sounded a little...inappropriate.

Indeed, in the eyes of onlookers, Eve and Van Biquieu sitting together at this moment are like a young couple meeting their parents.But thinking about it, they didn't know that Siheliu and Maoqi had discussed this matter, whether they should be brought together, but later felt that it was too cumbersome to implement (the first thing to do was Nan Fen's level), he resolutely dismissed the idea.

In the crowd watching, Siheliu finished his lunch while talking to Eve. From his unreasonable schedule, it is not difficult to see that the Consul's temper is almost casual to the extreme, and it even makes people worry whether he is the same when handling official duties.

After Consul Siheliu left, Domenke took everyone to visit the office area of ​​the Logos Academy. This time period was not considered busy, and the large group of people coming in and out had no effect.

At about five o'clock, Domenke finally said the phrase "be careful on the road" that Eve had been looking forward to for a long time, which meant that she could go home.

But before she had time to get her horse back, she heard from Lin Xin that Mao Qi had brought the horse to Wigotto's mansion, that is, Lin Xin's house. Elder Anfa Wigotto invited Mao Qi tonight I went with Eve to stay with him for a night, and the carriage has now stopped at the gate of the inner city.

It seems that Anfa invited her here for a serious business. Combined with today's itinerary, it seems that everything has been arranged long ago.

During dinner, there were only Anfa, Maoqi, Eve, and Lin Xin. Anfa said to Eve: "There is a place called Benlong Castle in the south-central Eklin Province of Klikin, and it is now a school. School, we usually call it 'Knight Academy'."

"Do you want to recommend me to go to school there?" Eve asked.

Anfa nodded and said, "That's right, but there are still some things that need to be discussed before we go, and ask for your opinion."

"Please speak." Eve put down the fork in her hand.

"Although the Knight Academy is not as well-known as the local Second Academy, it is cultivating talents for the Logos Academy. Benlong Castle is now composed of two parts, one is the Shengfengyue Knight Training Institute, and the other is the De Loufa School of Philosophy." Anfa glanced at his grandson Lin Xin, and continued: "Originally, Bin Mo wanted to send Lin Xin to the military academy, but I thought his temperament was not suitable, so I wanted to send him to the military academy." Send it to the knight training center, and you can also be companions, so I want to ask you, do you want to go to the training center or the philosophy academy?"

"What do you learn from both sides?"

"Let's talk about the knight training first—about two or three centuries ago, the Holy Fengyue Knights became independent among the countries on the west coast, and established the Knight Kingdom based on Benlong Fort. The knight training began at that time. It was originally to train nobles, and later also trained defenders. The training mainly cultivated knights' fighting skills and tenacity. As you can tell from the name, this place mainly studies philosophy and the history of philosophy, not only the New Logos School, but also other factions, including the Scholastic School of the Chengyu Sect and the Luting School of the Comprehensive Magic Society, etc. In addition to philosophy, it also teaches world history, law, geography, etc., and the mathematics here is also very famous.”

"Does graduation from the School of Philosophy still require a test?" Eve is having a headache now. The knight training center knows the name, and it must be a lot of trouble to go here, and the School of Philosophy... Although Eve is a little interested in world history, it also needs to learn and memorize a lot of knowledge, and the pressure is not small.

"Of course, not to mention the written test, and the face-to-face defense session with the principal, but at your current level, you will definitely be an excellent graduate." Law, however, has obtained a written transcript of the recording of the symposium.He asked Eve, "You decided to go to philosophy school?"

"Anyway, I don't want to go to the training center." Eve replied.

Lin Xin, who was next to her, seemed a little depressed when she heard what she said.

Anfa nodded and said, "Then let's make a decision like this first. I will send you the details of the Knight Academy and the class schedule. It's still early, so you can think about it slowly."

Because it was Eve's first visit to the Wigto mansion, Lin Xin took her around the mansion during the walk after dinner. The Wigto mansion has a large training ground with training equipment. It was complete, which made Eve very interested, but when Lin Xin asked her if she wanted to try it, her face immediately sank. The duel with Lin Xin at the Ascension Festival celebration seemed to have cast a psychological shadow on her.

Eve and Mochi returned to the manor the next morning.

The Academy of Knights will accept new students in the spring of next year, and there are at least three months before now. During these three months, Mochi taught her the words in the spell-casting book that Wenzina gave her, and at the same time formulated a new swordsmanship training plan for her. Swordsmanship with magic or martial arts is another routine, but for Eve, who has a solid foundation, it is not difficult to get started quickly.

Maoqi made a buckskin pocket for this thick book, which can be stuffed into it tightly, hung on the belt, or tied to a belt like a satchel. When using this spellcasting book, as long as Touch the book with your hand through the deerskin, and you can cast spells.What Mao Qi meant was that she had better change her half-sword to an armed sword now, so that she could hold the sword with only one hand and be more flexible and efficient in battle.But Eve didn't think so. She said to Mao Qi: "I don't think of conflict with anyone. If I have a chance to escape, I won't fight recklessly."

Although Mochi partly agreed with her statement, even though she continued to use half-handed swords, he still taught her the training plan for arming swords.Superb swordsmanship does not come out in three months, and it needs to be practiced day after day. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if Eve goes to the Knight Academy, she still needs to practice regularly according to the training plan.

Mao Qi specially wrote a set of phonetic symbols for this spell-casting book, and put it in the pages as a reminder. Since the content of this book is too much, he can only pick the key points for her to learn. The singing of the spell-casting book is similar to that of ordinary people. The spell casting process is different, because it does not involve the grammar and framework of the spell, so the casting process is shorter, which is also an advantage.Eve asked him about the spellcasting book and Wenzina. As for the automatic spellcasting book, Maoqi said that this book is a product of alchemy in the third era. It was invented by geniuses in order to make up for their own shortcomings.As for Wenzina, Mao Qi's attitude is a bit weird. It can be seen that he doesn't like this unpredictable eldest princess very much, and why he doesn't want to tell Eve.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Dakeren couple can actually be called weirdos, because they have never hired a housekeeper, and there are not many servants at home, and they like to do everything related to life by themselves.By next spring, maybe Eve and Maoqi will leave Boyun Manor one after another, and Luge often locks himself in the bedroom and cannot come out. Maoqi is afraid that his wife will feel lonely, so he invites a cousin who lives in the Eastern City come over.Because the letter was written early, the cousin rushed to Feimeng before New Year's Day, and Maoqi was surprised by her high efficiency.My cousin is one year older than Maoqi, and she is nearly fifty. She is short and fat, and she is a man of action. She will do whatever comes to her mind immediately, and never procrastinates.The relatives of the rich are also rich, and the cousin brought everyone a gift, which was quite expensive. Eve and Ruger each got a gold-tip pen. Coincidentally, Eve was going out of town I have studied, and the gift is well chosen, but my cousin doesn't know about it.And Nanfen's original melancholy mood disappeared because of her arrival. It's not that the cousin is so comforting, but because she is too troublesome. The cousin dragged her into the city to buy things and took the design draft. Asking a tailor to make clothes for her, or cooking eastern city-style pastries at home, and being busy all day long, Nanfen has no time to worry about anything else.

Cousin's unique charisma and self-confidence not only conquered the family in Boyun Manor, but also conquered many people in Boiling City. After coming for nearly a week, she met more people than Eve combined in five years.The cousin can speak well, is frank without prejudice, and her sociable personality is as vigorous as the current Eastern City. It is hard to imagine that she is older than Maoqi.

With this capable person sitting in Boyun Manor, Mao Qi felt much more at ease.

The waiting time was long. Although Eve knew that after going to the Knight Academy, her life might not be as comfortable as it is now, she was still looking forward to it because she was ready now. This was the first step to see the world with her own eyes.

Time passed quickly, the remaining snow on the eaves melted under the warm sun, and the water kept dripping on the stone bricks, making a ticking sound like rain.

A few days before leaving, Eve also started to pack her luggage to prepare for the upcoming trip.When she flipped through the drawer, she found a blue gem. This gem was put together with the bronze coin that Harvein had given her. Eve picked it up, and then remembered that this gem was given to her by Ji Xian, saying that it might be Evetrona's relic.

She once had a dream. She remembered that it was the night on the top of the Musk Rabbit Mountain. Eve remembered the scene in the dream, so she stuck the gem on her forehead. She stuck it like this for a while, but nothing happened.

The sound from the upstairs room caught the cousin's attention. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw Eve fainted behind the half-closed bedroom door.

"Come on, the little beauty has fainted!" She shouted and rushed over.

[29] The end, the truth, meaningless

Lying on the soft bed, I heard familiar noises.

The window was open, and the wind kept pouring into the bedroom, gradually waking her up.

The sound of children running on the floor in the neighbor's upstairs, the sound of cars passing by the road, the sound of sparrows twittering over the window sill... The sounds of the city are intertwined to form a very familiar white noise environment.

Eve opened her eyes and didn't know what happened for a while, but when she saw the familiar structure of the room in front of her, she felt a great sense of frustration and loss in her heart.

Why come back here?Five years... Is this five years of life just a dream experienced in one night?

If it was a dream, then in this dream, she had put in too much energy and management, so much that it was difficult for her to accept the current situation—she had already forgotten what her previous life was like, what kind of dream could have created such a bizarre situation?

Eve stumbled out of bed and ran to the window. She opened the screen and looked outside.There are several high-rise buildings directly opposite the window, and the background is a clear and cloudless sky; looking down, there is a golden ginkgo tree downstairs; and extending the line of sight forward, two rows of densely branched sycamores are planted on the street in the distance, rustling by the autumn wind.On the left side of her field of vision, she could see several kites floating in the air. She knew that the person flying the kite must be in the square near the community.Eve was all too familiar with these scenes.

It was still in the morning, the room was very cool, the sun shone in against the window sill, and there was plenty of light in the room, presenting a light and cool tone.There was the faint sound of piano playing outside the window. Eve thought the tune was very familiar, but because she hadn't had much exposure to music before, she didn't know what it was called.In fact, it was Petzold's Minuet in G major. Perhaps the person who practiced the piano was a novice. The piece itself was very simple, but the person stumbled a bit when he played it, which made Eve feel very uncomfortable.When she listened to this tune, a rough fingering method could appear in her mind, which showed that dreams were not all dreams, and knowledge could not be acquired only by dreaming.

A lock of hair slipped from her shoulders.

She looked down, and saw her slightly raised breasts, and her characteristic dark blue hair.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.It seems that I am still myself, but from another perspective, I am not my real self.She is very confused now, not knowing what is going on now.

The ringtone of the mobile phone came from the living room outside the house. The sound was so familiar that she couldn't help shaking.She walked to the bedroom door and opened it.The decoration and furnishings in the living room were still as she remembered them, but they felt extremely strange because they had been separated for too long. Although it had only been five years in her impression, seeing this scene at this moment gave her a sense of nostalgia as if she had returned to her childhood hometown, but nostalgia was nostalgia, but it was not nostalgia.Afterwards, she remembered that she had dreamed of this place many times before. Could it be that this time was also a dream?

put cell phone on the desk.The phone is ringing.

She stared blankly at the dark glass in front of her like a primitive person, her mind went blank.Needless to say how important mobile phones are in this era.Seeing it now, Eve's heart is very complicated.

She was about to reach out to take it, but suddenly saw another hand reaching out, picking up the phone on the table first.

Eve was taken aback by the hand that was stretched out suddenly, and when she looked up at the person who answered the phone, she felt even more terrified, and almost cried out—isn't this me?

It was the old self, the self when he was a man in his 30s.Seeing myself through another person's eyes was a bit absurd. Eve stared at him, but the more she looked at him, the more strange she felt.

The man put the phone to his ear and communicated with the person on the other side of the phone. He had a smile on his face and was so absorbed in the conversation that he didn't notice anyone beside him at all.

Eve didn't pay attention to whom he was talking on the phone or what they were talking about.After about two or three minutes, the phone was hung up, and the mobile phone was returned to the table, while the man turned around and walked to the kitchen, took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, uncapped the bottle, and walked towards the balcony.

Eve was a little dazed, and seemed to have some impressions of this scene.She followed and saw that the man was leaning on the balcony railing and drinking wine. She looked at the railing behind him and felt inexplicably nervous.

"Hey, don't lean on the railing, it's dangerous." Eve reminded him like this, but the other party didn't seem to hear her warning.

She remembered that she had spoken in Kriging just now, so she said it again, this time in Chinese.But as soon as the words came out, her tongue was as clumsy as if she had been stung by a bee. The pronunciation was so clumsy that even she herself could not understand it. After only five years, she seemed to have almost forgotten the language.

In fact, it didn't matter, because no matter what she said, the other party didn't respond.

Eve took a few steps forward, but accidentally knocked over the trash can on the side and kicked the trash everywhere. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the man only glanced this way, and continued to walk leisurely drank his wine.

The sky was so brightly blue that it seemed to be glowing, and only then did Eve realize that something was wrong.

Most of the wine in the man's hand has been drunk, and he is looking at the outside with his head sideways. Guessing from the direction of his gaze, he should be looking at those kites.

But he didn't notice the change in the sky.

Gradually, the color of the sky seemed to infect the room, covering all material surfaces with a layer of grayish blue.Only then did the man notice the change in his surroundings. He looked around, but still found nothing.

He wanted to go back to the room, but he saw a woman beside him out of thin air, a woman so beautiful that it needs no description.The woman was wearing a dark blue dress, her black hair was draped over her shoulders, she was tall and graceful, and her demeanor was very charming.

Eve opened her mouth wide in shock. She had seen this woman before. In the dream she had that night on Musk Rabbit Mountain, she was deeply impressed by her appearance.

The man panicked and took a few steps back.

"Who are you, why are you in my house?" He asked the other party loudly.

"You're dreaming now, that's why I'm at your house." The woman replied in this way, her voice was elegant and pleasant, but her tone was a little casual.

"Really?" The man was stunned, looked around, then looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, and asked her: "Why is this dream so real? It stands to reason that since I have realized that it is a dream, I should wake up too." Bar?"

"Actually, this happens every time a person dreams. Even though you are still awake, you will forget about it when you wake up." The woman's tone was calm, but she was obviously talking nonsense.But the situation in front of him is indeed extremely weird, and it cannot even be explained by common sense and logic.The man heard her say so firmly, but he didn't know the current situation, so he finally nodded in agreement.

"What about now? How should I go back? Also, since it's a dream, can I do something to you?" The man asked her with a smile, his eyes were playful.

Eve was a little surprised when the man said that. She was thinking, is that man really her former self?If you were in such a situation, would you say such a thing?

"Let's talk, it's always been like this in my dream." The woman raised her hand, "Please sit down."

A chair suddenly appeared behind both of them, and the man and the woman sat down face to face. The man sighed, "Is this always like this before? Why do I have no impression at all? This is too amazing."

"Do you think life is meaningful?" The woman ignored the man's exclamation and started asking questions as soon as she sat down.

Hearing this question, the man was taken aback, and said, "Is it such a difficult question to answer?"

"You can talk and say whatever you want," the woman said.

For a while, the man fell silent for a long time.

Eve, who was standing aside, was also thinking about the question raised by the woman.What is the meaning of life?This is undoubtedly a question that in every respect can be called the ultimate question.

"Yes." The man said.

"What does that mean?" the woman asked.

"Why do you only ask me, why don't you talk about your views?"

"Because you will be rewarded for answering my questions, stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."
