Main Text Volume Chapter 348 Night Banquet

Not long after the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion left, Barr came.

"I asked people to inquire, and even asked the most knowledgeable wise men, but no one had any impression of 'Pocrates'." Barr said respectfully: "Later, I also asked some old professors of the college, and still No one knows."

"However, if there is no news, I will be embarrassed to come to see you. It's a coincidence. A few days ago, one of my younger brothers accidentally saw this snake-shaped logo. He muttered at the time and said that he had seen similar patterns. , I paid attention at that time, and then I actually found someone by following this clue.”

Barr rambled on about a small feat he had made, and then told what happened next.

His little brother had seen a "snake coiled around a scepter" pattern not long ago, which was very similar to the "black snake coiled around a cone" pattern that Angel gave him.

After careful questioning, Barr followed this clue and finally found a woman.

This woman opened a small medical clinic in her home, and the clinic's flag was marked with the image of "a snake entwined around a scepter."

According to the woman's story, her grandfather saw this pattern from an ancient book in the central library. It is said that this mark always appears in some doctors' picture books. It seems to be the belief of some kind of doctor, or maybe it is a symbol of a certain kind of doctor. It was a totem of the medical school. When he came up with it at that time, he marked this picture. Later, on a whim, he used this pattern on the banner of his own medical clinic.

Barr said this with regret on his face: "Unfortunately, her grandfather passed away a few years ago, so she doesn't know which specific book has the record; in order to complete the task assigned by the adults, I also sent my younger brother I went to the central library to search using this icon as a clue, but I rummaged through medical-related books and couldn’t find a similar pattern.”

"I thought about it later, either the book has been lost, or it has been put into the ancient book secret vault by the library." Bald said, "But I guess the possibility of loss is unlikely. Who would deliberately steal a medical book? ?”

Angel caught a term: "Secret vault of ancient books? What kind of place is this?"

"The fully enclosed secret library built to protect ancient books is located underground in the Central Library, but it cannot be entered without the order of the director." Barr said with a helpless expression: "Basically, everyone in the library They are stubborn, I tried all kinds of methods, but they still refused to let me go, and they refused to open the secret vault."

Angel has a clear head. The old scholar always has some persistence, maybe inexplicable, maybe pedantic. But it is precisely because of this group of people that we can pass on knowledge very well.

"I understand, you don't have to worry about this matter." Angel pondered for a moment, and then took the initiative to put an end to the matter. He will negotiate the subsequent matters.

After a pause, Angel coughed and whispered: "I have another question to ask you. Do you know who are the more famous enlightenment teachers in Waterglass?"

In the end, Barr didn't give an answer. Waterglass is too big and has thousands of professions. The enlightenment mentor can be said to be the earth's kindergarten teacher. Although it is very important for a person's growth, it is still an inconspicuous profession after all. Barr would not pay attention to it at ordinary times, so in the end he could only sneer and say: "I will go and find out for you right away."

Barr's work efficiency was indeed very high. Not long after he left, he returned to Angel again with a booklet. I don’t know what tricks he used to get the lists of tutors from the most famous enlightenment colleges in Waterglass.

Angel flipped through it, and there was even information on retirees.

After sending Barr away, Angel began to flip through the booklet.

It was now the academy season, and he did not intend to interfere with the students' regular class time, so he did not plan to choose from the active ones, but directly looked at the list of retired tutors.

Angel started looking at past reviews and roughly identified a few people. After remembering their addresses, he left the Bay Area.

Near dusk, Angel came back with a kind old woman in her seventies wearing a plain blue skirt.

This old woman's name was Du Shan. After many comparisons, Angel chose the one with the gentlest personality, the most neutral views, the most regular living habits, and the only enlightenment tutor who was willing to teach full-time.

After making arrangements for Dushan's food and accommodation, Angel brought her to Dudolo.

"I have also told you about Dudolo's situation. He has forgotten almost everything, whether it is common sense in life or language communication. Except that he can move and walk, he is just like a baby, so I'm sorry to trouble you this time," Angel said.

It was also the first time for Du Shan to face such a student. Looking at Dudolo, who was nearly half the size of her, she was still a little worried. After all, she was no longer young and her power to control children was already very small.

However, when Dushan saw Dudolo's eyes that were as clear as the sky after the rain, her worries slowly let go.

She has brought up too many children in her life and has seen the eyes of various children. Sometimes, just from the child's eyes, she can know the child's general personality, whether it is naughty, lively, or introverted, and then teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

The look in Duodoro's eyes was the only one she had ever seen in her life. So clear, so simple, just staring into those eyes, it seems that the soul can be saved.

It would be a pity for such a person who exudes peace and cleanliness from deep inside his heart to be so stupid all the time.

"Don't worry, I will do my best." At this time, Du Shan's smile was more sincere.

Angel nodded: "I will not interfere with your teaching. But for too extreme concepts, you can discuss but don't instill; don't deliberately guide him to recall the past, which may cause secondary harm to him. As for the rest, please feel free. I believe you will use this blank paper to paint beautiful colors that belong to him."

...

Du Shan's teaching method is not fixed. She will take Duo Du Luo to see the wild and see nature, and will also take Duo Du Luo to picnic. Teach Duo Du Luo some knowledge in a relaxed and entertaining way.

Occasionally, she will take Duo Du Luo to the downtown area, tell some stories of ordinary people, talk about human relationships, and chat about family matters. Even if Duo Du Luo has not responded much, Du Shan has not stopped her story, just like an old grandmother telling stories to her grandchildren. Although she is nagging, it is precisely because of these nagging that Duo Du Luo can learn more vocabulary.

Angel followed Du Shan for a day with "Boundless Silence" and was very satisfied with her teaching methods and three views. He was relieved and no longer paid too much attention to Dodolo. He just talked to Du Shan about Dodolo's learning progress every night at dinner.

On this day, the sky gradually darkened.

In a large manor on the outskirts of Waterglass, Leon Rick kept wandering in the hall, with anxiety and worry on his face. Occasionally he sat down to drink a sip of wine, and then started to walk around the hall again after drinking.

His daughter Magda sat at the table, holding her cheek, playing with the tableware, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

When Cynthia, the mistress of the Earl's Mansion, came to the hall, she saw this situation.

Cynthia glanced at the butler standing next to her and asked in a low voice: "How long have they been like this?"

The butler quietly gestured "two" and whispered: "Two hours."

Cynthia nodded helplessly. She said "spit" to Magda, and when Magda came back to her senses, she walked to Leonrick and said softly: "What are you still worried about now? Since he has accepted the invitation, whether he comes or not, our sincerity has already arrived. Besides, it's not time yet, and it's still unknown whether he will come or not."

Le Angrick sighed: "You don't understand. If he is really a wizard, let alone Waterglass; even the entire Fuxu Royal Court can't stop him."

"But he didn't do this these days? I think you are too worried." Cynthia pulled Leonrick to sit down: "Don't think too much, just stay here and wait. If you keep walking and drinking like this, when that adult comes, what will happen to you when he sees you like this."

What his wife said made sense. It was not good for him to be drunk before the guests arrived. But... he was very worried, after all, the other party was a transcendent!

Suddenly, the clock in the corner rang "Dangdangdang". It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and there was still half an hour before the time marked on the invitation.

According to the default rules of the banquet, basically no one would arrive on time, and generally they would arrive half an hour in advance. Leonrick thought to himself, if that adult was willing to come, he should be on the way now, right?

Just when Leonrick was still thinking, the wooden door of the hall was pushed open and a guard walked in.

"Report to the Lord, the guest has arrived."

"He's here?" While Leonrick was still digesting this thought, Magda suddenly stood up: "He's here!"

The father and daughter said the same sentence, but in different tones, one with complexity and suspicion, the other with joy and surprise.

Cynthia and Leonrick looked at Magda at the same time, and her cheeks turned red: "I, I... I am..."

Leonrick interrupted Magda: "Don't say anything, apologize to the guests later, and go back to your room, don't come out."

Mageda looked anxious: "Dad?! What do you mean? I left halfway, which is disrespectful to the guests!"

While speaking, Magda winked at Cynthia.

In the past, no matter what happened, Cynthia stood on the same front with her daughter, but today Cynthia also frowned and stood on the side of her husband.

They have lived for most of their lives, how could they not understand Magda's little thoughts. There is nothing wrong with a girl's feelings being poetic, but the premise is to see who this poem is for!

A week of "silence" has not taught her to recognize the situation!

Magda wanted to say something else, but the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

A row of knights came in, then slowly separated and stood on both sides, raised their knights' lances and put them on the ground, making a uniform sound. Then all the knights took off their helmets, held them in their palms, and half-knelt on the ground.

As the visitors approached, the knights bowed their heads one by one.

This is the knight's welcoming ceremony, which is not used for non-VIPs.

In the center of the knights, a young man in a black and white plaid windbreaker walked in from the gate with regular steps.
