Chapter 232 Heart Lamp (5500 Chapters)

January 25, 1493.

A new law called the New Amendments to the Code of the Kingdom of Baia (1493) was promulgated.

The most notable of these is to clarify the scope of the "Labor Law" and "Welfare and Poor Law". The Kingdom will use large sums of money from the treasury every year to improve the difficult situation of the people at the bottom.

On this day, all Baia cheered for this world-renowned news.

People sang and danced in the streets from the bottom of their hearts. The streets and alleys of Göttinghagen were full of drunken citizens, and even the law enforcement officers joined the sea of ​​celebration.

And another exciting thing, today is Miss Winster's coming-of-age ceremony.

Because of Tu Fu's entrustment, Ke Lan specially rented a palace in the suburbs in the name of his father.

The main character of this coming-of-age ceremony, because of the surname Winster, no matter whether they were invited or uninvited, big shots came to join him on their own initiative.

There's no skimping on the pomp at Miss Weimar's grown-up ball, and some annoying guest won't show up uninvited this time.

"Father, everything has been arranged, and Columbia University directors, well-known writers, musicians, and performing groups were also invited. Even my coming-of-age ceremony is not as grand as this.

Oh, I almost remembered wrongly, I never had an adult dance party at all. "

Kelan, who presided over the show in the ballroom, smiled and complained about it inadvertently.

On this happy day, he finally dared to muster up the courage to complain about the past to his father who had always been in awe, in a complaining tone.

"Really? But in my impression, this is an etiquette exclusive to noble ladies, just like girls' afternoon tea."

Prime Minister Sorens, who was in the VIP seat, raised his eyebrows and picked up his teacup to play with, with a rare expression of bewilderment: "I thought you didn't like holding dances and the like."

"Because you always told me to fight like a man.

This is always the case when you are born in the Saurons family. From birth, you have the advantages that others envy for a lifetime, and you have to bear the corresponding obligations. It is absolutely not advisable to squander in the name of the family. "

Kelan was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, but he still raised his head and looked into his father's eyes.

It was completely different from the coldness and tyranny he had imagined, and it was more of a kind of unexplained doubt, so he dared to continue to add: "That's exactly the case, so I am always careful, no matter what I do, I will follow your will."

Perhaps he was responsible for the revision of the new law, or perhaps it was Tu Fu's actions that day that gave him courage.

Finally, something buried deep in Crane's heart exploded.

He decided, at least once, not to be an obedient, obedient kid.

"Klan, why didn't you tell me?" Tilo's palm holding the teacup froze.

"It's because you have never noticed that we are afraid of you and afraid of you. We have always kept this topic secret. You are the hero of this country. How dare we talk about you because of such a trivial matter."

"So you like this kind of dance."

"I like it very much." Kelan even burst into tears.

"Please forgive me for my negligence in the past. After becoming a qualified prime minister, I have neglected many things...so much so that I no longer take your feelings into consideration.

I think I will learn to be a qualified father in the future. "

...

The well-dressed Sophie didn't show her joy because of this sensational coming-of-age ceremony.

In the dressing room, she was wearing a fashionable green evening dress, holding a letter and a bottle of dark green potion tightly in her hand,

This is his last gift.

The whole city was cheering for such good news, but they didn't remember that the person who brought it all was now suffering.

From now on, workers will receive fair wages for their work and children will receive free education.

This was not discovered by the conscience of the nobles in the royal court, but someone came.

After Sophie calmed down, her eyes gradually became firmer. She lightly dragged her skirt and walked out of the hall under the welcome of her father Ethan.

"Look, if other girls were shown the most beautiful flowers in Göttinghagen, even when they're morose, they'd probably be mad with envy."

Inspector Winston could see how depressed she was, even though he and Mrs. Amphrey were not in the same mood.

The past few days have been like years, and they tried their best to inquire about Tu Fu like crazy, but fortunately, the matter has come to an end.

Not too good and not too bad.

He paid the price for being a man.

As the only man in the Winster family in such a crisis, he should always stand up.

No matter how hard it is, how sad it is, and the heart is full of holes, but at his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, Ethan Winster must smile and not be so sad.

Accompanied by her parents, Sophie walked into the ball hall, and she was so dazzling at the party, like a shining pearl.

I don't know how many boys of the same age at the ball had their eyes brightened, and they made up their minds to invite her to dance to a dance song after the ceremony.

Sophie followed Officer Winster all the way to the highest stage of the ball, and his wife pulled up Sophie's white lace gloves.

"There have been many great and unpleasant events in the Winston family over the past few days, but this does not prevent today's dance.

Sophie in our family has finally grown up and has the right to decide her own future.

She is a nice girl, with admirable wit and character, incredible etiquette.

I have never asked her too much, I only hope that she will still be happy every day after she becomes an adult, and this is my only wish. "

"dad."

Sophie couldn't help but glance at Mr. Winster.

"Here I also express to a gentleman who was so brave and unyielding that he fell into the swamp, the wisest and stupidest man I ever met.

To the wonderful little Mr. Capet. "

Ethan Winster picked up the wine glass. This astonishing move made the guests applaud. They also raised their glasses high for the unknown man, but they all knew that his heroic deeds spread throughout the Northern Continent.

Respectfully,

The hero goes away.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The fireworks at night in Wangdu are brilliant, rising into the sky to bloom strange clouds of flames, and the gorgeous fireworks add a unique embellishment to the city that never sleeps.

...

"Is that why you stayed an extra day? Because of a girl's bar mitzvah."

Roman Richard saw Tu Fu watching from a distance, but there was still a happy smile on his face, "I can understand your mood, but we really should go now."

"Mr. Richard, I really... really want to go in... at least give me one more look..."

"Actually, I don't recommend you to do this. The longer you stay, it will only make you more hesitant. Once you show up at the ball, you will only bring them endless troubles.

Boy, it's time for us to hit the road. "

Roman's absolute rationality made Tu Fu's little thought disappear without a trace.

He had no choice but to follow each other silently.

Accompanying them was another person, whose skin was very dark like that of an ordinary Northern Continent race, and the exaggerated gold chain made the whole person look extremely exaggerated.

This is Varo, the shameful smuggler in Roman's mouth, whom he met in the "Time" beer hall of the fraternity.

Because Tufu's itinerary must be kept secret, the University of Michigan route cannot be used.

In Göttinghagen, few people have more channels than him. He knows when there are unnamed freighters and transport ships in the port, and he can do it conveniently as long as he gives some money.

"Gentlemen, the departure time of this passenger ship is midnight, please be on time.

There is a greedy and innocent guy on board. After I take care of it, no one will check your identity. As long as you don’t use your current name, you can use anything, and no one will care.

It is worth being careful that there are some thieves with dirty hands and feet on the boat. After catching them, you can warn them not to provoke you.

Most of all, forget what you learned about dealing with people in Miskar Stark, politeness doesn't always apply to everyone.

This is especially true at sea. When you show your weak side, people always think you are easy to bully. "

The leading smuggler, Varo, instructed Tu Fu, a rookie with no experience.

"To tell you the truth, I hate boats, and I hate the sea."

Tu Fu patted his forehead dejectedly.

He's on the verge of getting marine ptsd.

If it weren't for the fact that there are too many checkpoints on the high-speed train and it is easy to delay things, he would never choose this kind of transportation that daunts him.

"Thanks to your skin color. If you are a person of color, I should really remind you to be careful of human traffickers. Those crazy people will do anything for money."

Looking at this kid who has no experience in going to sea, Varo kindly made another point.

Although this is a great character, his side is too tender, so tender that anyone with social experience can use it as a cash machine, definitely the kind of person that gamblers and prostitutes love most-take advantage of.

"I trust my friends to be enough for any trouble.

Uncle Roman said something calmly.

Heh, a Sequence 7 adventurer, most people should avoid him.

No matter in any harsh environment, adventurers always have their unique ways to survive.

"I hope so." Valo shrugged.

Tu Fu was silent for a while and asked earnestly: "Sir, I really don't understand why the sea is always in such chaos, and no matter how you fix it, it doesn't work?"

"Because the sea is so vast that you can't see the edge, you have enough heart to accommodate all kinds of people."

When Varo spoke, he opened his arms and made a hugging gesture, his expression full of yearning.

The Eastern Docklands area.

It was the boat destination that Tufu was going to.

Hundreds of cargo ships come and go here every day, which is a proof that Göttinghagen is one of the centers of the world.

The last time Tu Fu came here was half a year ago. At that time, the workers were like machines that only knew how to work, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

I don't know if it's because of the night or the celebration of the promulgation of the new law. Compared with the busy coming and going at that time, the atmosphere now is much more relaxed.

Some people set off gorgeous fireworks by the shore, sang and danced on the shore.

Small vendors set up shop on the ground to sell some gadgets and chat with customers cordially.

Everyone is celebrating this remarkable day. Workers from all walks of life are overflowing with joy when they drink beer at the end of their work.

Someone walks up drunk, "Guys, look at this, it's bigger than the Gospel of the Gods in church.

The labor law now mandates that the daily work will not exceed 12 hours, and there is even a minimum wage guarantee, which is unimaginable..."

"God bless, my children no longer need to secretly go to work in factories. The government will open low-cost colleges, and every child is eligible for education."

"As long as you work hard, the salary of more than 8 crowns per week is enough for our family to eat meat regularly."

"From today, each of us has the right to be human."

In the midst of this sea of ​​excitement, with everyone dying to drink, the hawkers on the harbor bridge suddenly noticed that there was only one special guest.

He shrugged his head as he headed to the pier, and walked forward without saying a word.

The peddler immediately promoted his product to him, "Sir, why be so depressed, why not take a look at this thing, maybe it will make you happy.

Its name is the Wishing Heart Lamp, and it can place things that emit beautiful sparks beside the river and the coast.

People always write the name of the most cherished person on it to send their sincere wishes. "

It was a typical steam age gadget.

The lotus lamp-like structure technology, the position of the wick is filled with gunpowder, which can ensure that it can float on the water surface for a period of time, and can maintain its brilliance for a long time when floating.

It's an interesting little thing.

It's just that Tu Fu really doesn't have the heart to understand it right now, especially when he hears the happy voices of the workers in the dock area, he really can't empathize.

The joys and sorrows of this world are never the same.

After shaking his head to reject the peddler's request, in order to prevent anyone from noticing him, Tu Fu lowered the brim of his hat and walked quietly through the crowd.

Like a captured fugitive who moves only from shadowy corners,

It can only sneak away when people are not paying attention.

"Puff, puff."

Thick black smoke was blown into the sky from the exhaust pipe in the distance from the coast, and the steamboat was getting closer and closer to the shore. The snake head, Warren, lowered his head and whispered in his ear:

"Mr. Capet, the ship has arrived."

Looking at the medium-sized passenger ship named "Homecoming" coming from the southwest, after the promulgation of the policy, more and more people will come to Göttinghagen.

There are colorful flags and cheers everywhere in front of the pier, which seems to indicate that their good life is coming, which inevitably makes Tu Fu standing at the port feel strange.

Obviously as the winner, he could only escape with his tail between his legs amidst the cheers.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad at this situation.

He didn't look sideways, for fear that their joy would overwhelm his last trace of strength.

This trip is two years.

Two years is enough to change too many things. At that time, people have long forgotten about him. The University of Michigan has ushered in a new crop of geniuses, and the academic world has made new breakthroughs.

Perhaps even Sophie will have a boy she likes.

Such a long time is enough to change everything. Vain promises, insignificant gifts, no matter how precious things are, they cannot withstand the tempering of time.

Tu Fu tried to pull down the brim of his hat to completely cover his eyes and expression, wishing he could completely wrap himself in it.

"Hey, so you can cry too."

When the clear female voice rose in Tufu's ear, it was Sophie, she was still wearing the eye-catching long dress from the ball, panting and patting her chest, holding a letter tightly in her hand.

"Sophie, come... what are you doing..."

"Mr. Richard was found by Mr. Tokeland, and he told me where you left."

Uncle Roman on the side was full of smiles, as if telling him that you are welcome.

"Look, here's a gift from you."

I saw that Miss Winster unfolded the letter paper and recited in a low voice, "When you are old, gray-haired, sleepy, and dozed by the fire, please take down this collection of poems.

Recite slowly, dreaming of your eyes back then. That soft light and green shadows. "

"Sophie, listen to me."

"How many people have loved your beauty and your joyful and charming youth with true love and falsehood."

"This is a misunderstanding."

"Only love your pilgrim's heart, love the sorrow on your withering face."

"Or I'll kneel down for you."

"When you are bent over the hot grate, you will speak softly, with a touch of sadness."

"Stop reading..."

"The love that has passed away has now stepped up the mountain and buried its Hao Yan in the dense cluster of stars." Sophie looked up at him with expectation in her eyes.

"This is the poem you gave me exclusively?" She paused for a moment, her brows raised high, "A love poem."

Tu Fu was very clear-headed, knowing that there would be no result if he continued to entangle, so he could only sigh:

"Trust me, it's really just a misunderstanding."

"What about the last song? It was also a misunderstanding?" Miss Winston raised her brows aggressively.

She specially used her notes to write down the square words at the beginning of the poem published at Columbia University, "Today is my coming-of-age ceremony, so don't lie to me. What does this sentence mean?"

Tu Fu was just about to make up some nonsense to fool him, when he looked up and saw Sophie's watery eyes and pitiful expression, he couldn't help but confess:

"The Farthest Distance in the World - Tu Fu gave Sophie."

"I knew it."

Sophie was like a shameful liar who succeeded, and Tu Fu couldn't react for a moment with the seamless and bright eyes.

He was surprised to find that he couldn't play with her.

"Tufu, I have applied to Professor Edmund for a one-year leave of absence, and then I will inform my parents that I will go to Ryan Kingdom to study in the next year.

This is a decision I have considered for a long time.

I'll come to you as soon as I've settled the matter in Göttinghagen. "

Sophie's voice was very soft, but her words carried great weight, "So, don't lower your head, no matter how difficult it is, I will accompany you through this journey."

"Sophie, stop talking nonsense." Tu Fu frowned.

"It's not yet twelve o'clock, must your promise be kept right? I guess the famous Mr. Capet would never deceive a little girl like me."

Miss Winston took out the last stone of life, and granted her third wish of her coming-of-age ceremony.

Accompanying him through the most difficult years is Sophie's third wish.

This is no joke.

Don't question the weight of her determination and the courage to make bold declarations of love.

Being able to rush here now, and want him to confide these words is the best proof of this relationship.

Even a veteran in love like Roman can't help being moved.

Under the cold moonlight, the girl took the initiative to take a step forward, while the boy stood still.

The bodies of the two fit together almost everything.

She lifted her toes lightly, and the boy subconsciously half-clutched her waist, hugging each other tightly, tears running down his face.

Bow your head and let your mouth touch the warm lips, feel the hot love of the other party, and completely release the love that imprisoned the cage in your heart,

Kiss goodbye in the moonlight,

It's the most romantic thing I can do to you.

...

"Woo! Woo!"

The steamboat began to glance into the distance amid the sound of its whistle, and Tu Fu's loving eyes never left the shore, leaving the beautiful blonde lady who is delicate but full of infinite strength.

At first, there were only a few celebratory sounds from the shore, and then those sounds disappeared.

There were more and more people standing on the shore as the steamer drew anchor and set sail.

So much so that the whole port was finally full of people, like a solemn mountain, and the silent greetings made people breathless.

The dense crowd silently watched the ship go away.

On the surface of the sea, there are heart-wishing lanterns floating everywhere, all of which are filled with the name "Tufu Capet".

He never came away as a loser.

The colorful and dense lights bloomed under the sweep of the waves on the shore, emitting the most beautiful and moving brilliance, and finally illuminated the entire sea.

Citizens of Göttinghagen,

Best wishes for the heroes going away.
