Evetrona's old stories

"Okay, I'll write it down." Eve nodded, and then glanced at the leave form again.

Silinya Knaka...

Knaka... Is Komino's surname Knaka?

"Excuse me, do you know Xilinya's identity? Is she from Bomeng?" Eve asked Sixbeline.

"She is indeed a Bohemian, the daughter of a school director." Sickbelin replied, the warning in her eyes was very strong.

"Is the school manager you're talking about named Comino? A man with a thick neck?"

"It's him, you know him?" Sickbelin was a little surprised.

"It's really familiar." Eve hesitated, and then said, "I want to visit this Xilinya, I won't make trouble, I just want to clear up the misunderstanding with her, can you give me the number of her apartment? "

Sickbelin didn't agree right away, she was thinking about the authenticity of Eve's words. Judging from the bad things that happened before, these related households are not fuel-efficient lamps. If possible, Sickbelin really wants to expel them all at once.

"Maybe I can help with her class this week," Eve added.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will not be angry or violent."

"must."

Eve and Ivy pulled out of Sixbelin's room, both with relaxed expressions, as if what they had just entered was not the office, but the toilet.

Xilinya lives in the same apartment as Eve, but not on the same floor. She lives on the second floor.Considering that the other party turned out to be the daughter of his old friend Comino, Eve suddenly became less angry.She felt that since she and Comino were regarded as friends, Xilinya should naturally be regarded as her junior. As an elder, she should have a certain tolerance towards the junior and give appropriate guidance and education.

At this time, Sixbelin was sitting in the office, still staring at the untouched letter paper and worrying. After meeting Eve herself, she couldn't calm down even more.People's hearts are always complicated, with a noble side, a dark side, and a fragile side, and the same is true for Sykebelin.At that time, when Lotilan stuffed a bag of 20 gold coins into her hand, the heavy feeling made her inexplicably angry after being shocked—you know, in this era, Sikbelin The annual salary plus the cloth and food given by the castle owner are converted, and the total is worth it.For a person like her, windfall doesn't make her very happy, it just makes her realize the injustice in this world more deeply.What Lotilan did may not be worth mentioning in his own opinion, but in Sickbelin's view, it is more like a denial of her.She does not deny that she has a hatred of the rich, and she has always had an undisguised prejudice against the moral level of the rich.

In the end, this kind of prejudice fell on an innocent person-and his own student-Sikbelin felt that he should really reflect.

[48] ​​Castles, animals, and people (Part [-])

After this incident happened, Elvira finally stopped maintaining a vague sense of alienation as before, and talked more with Eve.

People's inner activities are usually complex, always accompanied by contradictions and self-deception.At first, under the instigation of Xilinya, Elvira also held a certain amount of hostility towards Eve.She is from Xuemo, a rare outlier in the academy, so Xilinya's invitation is very tempting.She gave Eve three keys, one of which was the key to her own door. Maybe Eve thought that this exchange of keys was just out of trust, but in fact, the point was that Avra ​​left a key to her door, which was also instructed by Xilinya, in order to inflict serious damage on the other party when necessary.Perhaps in Elvira's view, the key to Eve's door was given to Eve in exchange only because she could live with her conscience.

No matter what happened before, Elvira finally stood by Eve's side.Maybe it's because of her pure nature, maybe it's because she finds that Eve is not as hateful as Xilinya described, or maybe it's because Eve influenced her in some ways... Sometimes, a person makes a decision based on feeling, and If you don't care about interests, you may do better.

Eve planned to visit Xilinya, and Elvira also wanted to go, but she refused.

Today is another weekend. For college students who take classes six days a week, weekends are precious, but Eve will still get up at five o'clock and go to the training ground for morning training. This is a habit she developed when she was in the manor.From the moment she picked up the sword for the first time, Maoqi told her that no matter whether a person is a genius or not, powerful or not, the first thing to do is to always maintain the devotion to power.If a swordsman is compared to a believer, then practice should be as continuous as morning prayers—but unlike praying to God, the body will never fail its master, and what you put in will bring you something.

After the morning practice, Eve climbed up the wall very skillfully, and followed Bafloo towards the southeast corner.Tionneck is a very intelligent animal, and Eve followed it to identify many routes, but they were all unusual "upper routes".A week has passed, and Eve went to Shalan's house twice during this period, and each time she had breakfast there before going to class. She is still here today.

Salan is a talkative person, and her talkativeness is reflected in her professionalism. Although there is really nothing to talk about in alchemy, in terms of natural history, Salan has a strong interest in some weird creatures.The conversation between the two at the beginning was limited to Tionnek—where Bafloo went today, what he ate today, and so on.Later, the topic gradually expanded to some mysterious species, whether they were ancient creatures or mythical creatures, these were what Salan was interested in and Eve was curious about.Salan is good at sketching. She can draw different varieties of Tionneck, as well as the strange-looking Lu Xinglong. Their images jump on the paper, and they are all lifelike.If it wasn't for time constraints, Sha Lan would also like to make a portrait of Eve.

At about nine o'clock, Eve said goodbye and left. When she returned, she still took the roof route, because she found that the road above was indeed more convenient.And when passing the roof garden of someone's house, she picked a few bunches of camellia and held it in her hand, which is really wicked.

She took the flowers back to the apartment building and went to Xilinya's room first.The one who opened the door was the girl who followed Xilinya that day and then ran away. When the other party saw that it was Eve, she was so frightened that she locked the door directly.After Eve repeatedly explained her purpose outside the door, the other party opened the door suspiciously.

Xilinya was half lying on the bed, looking at Eve who walked in, still the same as last time, her eyes were really not friendly.

Eve smiled at her and asked her, "Is the injury serious?"

The other party didn't answer, but gave her a blank look and turned her head away.

"It's too stuffy to lie in the room all the time. You should ventilate more." Eve said, and opened the window of the bedroom. It was still sunny today, and the air seemed to smell the breath of the mountains.There was a glass on the table, with half a glass of water in it, probably used by Xilinya. Eve just put a few bouquets of flowers into the glass, and Xilinya frowned greatly.

"What on earth are you here for?" Xilinya finally couldn't help asking.

"I came here to clear up the misunderstanding with you." Eve replied.

"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding between us." Xilinya sneered, "I know everything about you."

"Do you know who I am?" Eve was a little surprised.

"Of course I know, Eve." Xilinya squinted at her, "My father always mentions you, and I'm also thanks to you for coming to school here."

Xilinya's words caught Eve by surprise.She re-examined the rich daughter who treated her coldly, but felt that she had little resemblance to her father's appearance.

"You hate me?" Eve asked her, "Just because of that?"

"This matter?" Xilinya stared at Eve, "I hate you a lot."

"What do you hate about me? Can't we shake hands and make peace?" Eve said with a smile.

Xilinya stopped talking, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

"I heard that you took a week off. Is it that serious? Can't you insist on going to class? Do you want me to get you a pair?"

"Get out!" Xilinya pulled out the pillow under her body and threw it towards Eve.Eve took the pillow and threw it back on the bed.The bedroom door was open at this time, and Xilinya's roommate was looking at the door, but she didn't dare to approach them.

Eve waved at the girl, signaling her to rest assured.She said to Xilinya again: "You also know how serious the consequences of delaying the course are now..."

"I know, it's a big deal to drop out of school." Xilinya interrupted her, "It's not that I want to come here. I will tell my father when I go back that I was dropped out of school because of you."

This guy also played a little temper.Eve laughed secretly, and she said, "So what if you tell him, let him come over to avenge you?"

"You wait, I'll hire someone to kill you when I get back!" Xilinya said bitterly while holding the sheet with one hand, staring at Eve.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Eve pulled out the chair under the desk and sat opposite her, "Is there any knot that can't be solved at such a young age? Am I just making you feel uncomfortable? ? Do you need me to say sorry to you?"

Xilinya bit her lip, she was too angry to speak, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Okay, stop crying." Eve took out a handkerchief from her pocket, trying to wipe her tears, but was pushed away by the other party.

"I don't have any malice towards you." When Eve said this, she finally took a bit of seriousness, "You are Comino's daughter, so you can also regard me as your own sister."

"You fart." Xilinya stared at her red eyes and said every word.Her hateful gaze made Eve flinch a little.

What did Comino tell her to make her hate him so much?Eve felt that this matter was not as simple as she imagined.She felt that she needed to find out about this matter, but it was best to start with Xilinya. If Comino knew about it, it might make the situation worse.

"It's okay." Eve smiled, "What do you want for lunch? Shall I bring it for you?"

"Don't worry about it."

The two were silent for a while.

Eve stretched out her finger and scratched her nose, and said, "It's really not decent and inconvenient for a girl like you to be on crutches. Why don't you do this? I'll carry you to class from tomorrow until you can walk by yourself. How about it?"

There seemed to be a flash of surprise in Xilinya's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and said coldly, "I won't go."

"The class can't be delayed, that's the deal." Eve patted her leg through the quilt, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, she got up and left.

The girl standing at the door watched Eve leave, then turned to look at Xilinya, a little hesitant to speak.

"I know what you want to say." Xilinya lay back on the bed, "But I still hate her. She may not do bad things, but she is a bastard herself."

"Then... are you going tomorrow?" the girl asked.

"No." Xilinya replied immediately, and then added: "Go and lock the door. If she comes, don't open the door for her."

But Xilinya doesn't go to class, but her roommate does.The next day was Monday, and Eve waited early in the corridor on the second floor.Not surprisingly, the girl was once again taken aback by Eve standing at the door.

"Morning." Eve smiled at her, "Is Xilinya awake?"

The girl glanced back and said apologetically, "I don't know too well."

"What's your name?" Eve asked again.

"Mara."

"Thanks, Mara." Eve said, and walked sideways into the room.

Looking at the girl's back, Mara felt a little fever on her face.

In the eyes of others, Eve has an indescribable quality.This is no wonder, after all, she herself is a collection of contradictions.

Xilinya's bedroom door was open, and there was a plate on the bedroom table with a half-eaten cake in it.The cups with flowers are still in place, still as bright as yesterday.

Xilinya was lying on the bed under the quilt, not sure if she was really sleeping or pretending to be asleep. Eve walked up to her and shook her body, but the other party didn't respond at all.

Eve pinched her waist with both hands and looked at her for a while, then took out a brown vial from her backpack, shook it lightly, opened the bottle and quietly brought it to Xilinya's nose.

Xilinya only felt a foul and strong smell rushing straight into her brain, as if someone stuffed mustard fermented in the toilet directly into her nostrils.Stimulated by the smell, she straightened up from the bed, held her nose and retched twice.

"What are you holding, throw it away!" Xilinya said, pointing to the small bottle.

"This is smelling salt." Eve put the bottle back in her backpack, "You have never used this thing before."

"Who would use such a disgusting thing." Xilinya was still pinching her nose and talking.

"This is a good thing. I didn't wake you up no matter what I told you just now. As long as you smell it, you'll feel more energetic." Eve herself didn't have the habit of using smelling salts, but under the influence of Maoqi, she still carried a bottle with her in case of emergencies.It has to be said that both of them react surprisingly well to smelling salts.

"It's time to go to class," Eve said. "I've spoken to Thickebelin, and she's allowed you to attend class in casual clothes. Are you wearing something more convenient?"

Xilinya didn't know what she was thinking at this time, and she looked a little dazed. She subconsciously looked at the closet beside her, so Eve went over to check.

Perhaps, the easing of the relationship stems from the first tacit understanding.

Xilinya no longer resisted like yesterday, and put on her coat silently.

Eve bent down and stood in front of the bed with her back to Xilinya, beckoning her to come up.Xilinya hesitated and asked, "Are you...really okay?"

"Small." Eve put her hands behind her back, "Come on."

Xilinya is taller than Eve, but not by much. She is not too heavy, and it doesn't take much effort for Eve to lie on Eve's back.Xilinya put Eve's shoulders with both hands, and Eve hooked her legs with both hands, and went downstairs steadily like this, walking briskly towards the direction of the lecture hall building.

The two men walked on the road of the castle, and their appearance was very eye-catching.Or in the eyes of the uninformed, their relationship must be extraordinary.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and it seems that it is Eve's favorite season again.It had just rained last night. At this time, the chirping of insects and birds could be heard incessantly, and the crowing of frogs could be faintly heard from the dark ditch under the castle. A strong wind blew through the branches of the trees, and the leaves and raindrops crackled all over the ground.At this time, Eve's heart would jump for joy involuntarily, as if foreseeing something good to happen.

Eve really took care of Xilinya as a younger generation. No matter what prejudice the other party had towards her, Eve felt that she should help her. After all, she had been taken care of by Comino.

So, in the class this morning, Eve sat next to Xilinya, supervised her lectures, and watched her take notes, but after observing for a while, she frowned——Silinya really didn’t Too good at studying.Eve wondered if he should push her again.But she herself has to take care of both the training center and the college courses, and she really doesn't have much time to take care of other things. She is not sure if she can allocate some energy to supervise Xilinya.

In this class, not only Eve and Xilinya were a little distracted, but the rest of the students were also a little distracted. They would look in Eve's direction from time to time—no one knew exactly when the two of them began to change. so close.

What happened before this?

[49] Castles, animals, and people (Part [-])

Eve finally found the small restaurant, but the timing wasn't right.

Regarding that night, Eve only remembered that she walked up a few steps to the restaurant, and there seemed to be two trees at the door.Since the new castle is located in the upper part of Mount Shengfeng, there are steps everywhere, and there are countless places with such characteristics, so it is quite difficult to find them.

But today she dared to confirm it because there was a sign at the door of the building, which said "Forward's Restaurant".Eve still had a deep impression of this man. After all, his noodle soup and fried venison were very good, but she couldn't remember the other party's name. She only remembered that this man had a kind face and said that his nickname was "Retinue".

The door was not locked. Eve pushed the door open a small crack and looked inside. She could hear someone talking, but she couldn't see anyone.Eve tiptoed in.Entering the door is the corridor, and Eve recalled it as soon as she walked in - turn left along the corridor, walk up half a floor along the steps, and you will reach the restaurant.

As soon as Eve opened the door, she saw six or seven men sitting around three tables put together, half-eaten dishes and wine were placed on the tables, and the restaurant was filled with the lingering smell of cigarettes.

As soon as Eve entered the door, they all looked here. After seeing a little girl entering the door, the scene was silent for a moment.Eve was also stunned at this moment, and even had the urge to run away.Because she does know a few of these people, such as the vicious Tetrogg, the unsmiling swordsmanship teacher Chongge, and a teacher of fighting class. Eve was still in his class yesterday.

"Isn't this classmate Eve?" Chongge sat on the outermost side, he was still dressed as decently as in class today, "Why did you come here?" He asked.

"Is Lotilan here? I've been wanting to find him, but I don't know where to find him." Eve answered after gathering her composure.

"Are you looking for him? We are also waiting for him today." Chongge said, "He went to the border a few days ago to do business, and he just came back yesterday."

Hearing what he said, Eve couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.These people seemed to want to have a long talk with Luo Tilan, if that was the case, then he could only look for him another day.

At this moment, Forward came out from the back kitchen, as if he heard the commotion here, he saw Eve standing at the door, and greeted her with a smile.

"Let's sit inside first." Forward greeted her and went to the inner cabin. "Have you eaten yet? What do you want to eat?" He asked.

Eve glanced at the people outside, then at the clock in the restaurant, and said, "It's only nine o'clock in the morning, where are you?"

"Haha, sorry, I'll get you some snacks, don't worry." Forward said and walked out of the room.

The inside was more like a study room for writing. Eve just sat in the room, eating the shortbread sent by Forward, and waiting quietly for a while.Luo Tilan arrived half an hour later. He chatted with the instructors outside for a while, and then walked in. When he saw Eve, his body froze obviously, and he asked, "Are you looking for me?" When he said this, he threw a stack of documents in his hand on the table in front of Eve.

"Well, I need your help with something." Eve replied quickly.

"You don't have class this morning?" He asked again.

"No."

"Then wait for me for a while, it won't be too long." After finishing speaking, he exited the inner room.

Lotilan was talking to the six men outside. Since the sound insulation inside was so good, Eve could only vaguely hear them mentioning words such as "bandit", "mission", and "entrustment". things are related.Eve felt bored, so she came up with the idea of ​​the stack of documents on the table. At first, she only took a few sneak peeks, and then she simply moved the stack of documents over, wiped her hands on the apron, and started to file one by one. flip through.

"Application for the demolition of the exterior walls and steps of Building 47 in the Garrison Area..."

"(Ninety-seven years of the Thorn Calendar) water storage and drainage arrangements for the rainy season..."

"Approval for the scrapping of the fourth batch of arc-firing firearms..."

The contents of these documents are varied, and not all are written in Klitsin, but also in the more written and academic Old Franto language, which Eve learned in natural history and linguistics classes Some, but nowhere near the level of accessible reading.

These documents are very boring to read. Eve lost patience after reading a few articles. She only glanced at the summary or introduction at the beginning of the document and then turned to the next one. There are more than 30 documents in this stack, and it will take a lot of time to read them one by one.

"This year (16) the list of candidates and bibliography for the readers of Fuge Manning (Ancestor Dragon)... Summary: The number of applicants this year is still small, the current number is [-], and the registration period may need to be extended... In addition, there is a bibliography In terms of problems, Ge Manning doesn't like to listen to love stories this year, and may need to re-examine the books reported by the students..."
