Chapter 66 Rentat is really dangerous
In the early morning, the night wind whistled, making the windows clatter. It was the time to hide in the bed and silently suffer the rare warmth.
But after finishing the "Violet" hospital, Ali tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. His confusion about the future development path, his sense of alienation and distance between the nobles who entered and left carriages, alchemy cars, and aircraft, and his doubts about whether he could gain corresponding gains after struggle, and his uncertainty about life all made him think and he couldn't calm down at all.
"Oh." Ali sighed heavily, turned over and sat up from the bed, put on his coat, walked to the only table in the narrow house, picked up the jar, poured a glass of ale with a faint smell into the cup, and drank it in big mouthfuls. This inferior ale was the only "luxury" he had in his life.
Ali walked to the window with a wine glass and sat directly on the ground. He watched the trees with few leaves outside swaying in the wind, as if they were constantly shivering, and felt a little desolate in his heart.
Outside his window was a quiet and uninhabited street. It took a long time to see a carriage or alchemy car passing by. The sound made further highlights the silence and desolation nearby. On the other side of the street are relatively old buildings. Because they are the worst-located civilian areas, there are no gardens or other things.
But Ali knew very well that the owners of the surrounding houses did not live worse than most of the citizens of Rentat in the past few years, and were more leisurely. Because they had a sharp eye, they found that with the earth-shaking changes in Rentat, more and more out-of-towners came here, and the newly-opened alchemy workshops, which lacked manpower, were constantly recruiting people from all over the country. Therefore, they renovated their houses and rented them to these outsiders at a relatively cheap price. Due to the large number of rooms, they also made a lot of money.
—After the alchemy workshops with strong magical flavors appeared one by one and achieved enviable achievements, the original textile craftsman felt a sense of crisis, and began to ask the magicians of the magic puppet to improve the current textile equipment. After two or three years of exploration, the efficiency of textile machines has made an amazing breakthrough. Therefore, the scale of the textile industry began to expand, and the staff needed gradually increased. Similarly, this also brought about a reduction in the price of textiles. The people of the Holm Kingdom can finally afford to buy extra clothes.
After taking a sip of ale, Ali opened the window and felt the bitter cold wind coming to his face. He couldn't help but shivered, and the depression in his heart slightly dissipated.
The silver moon hung high in the sky, cold and beautiful. Ali, who was drinking ale, suddenly saw the big dog beside him looking outside intently. Looking at the direction of Rentat's exit from the city, there was a clear hint of urgency and desire in his eyes, so he smiled and said, "Do you also feel confused about the future? Do you don't know which direction to strive in?"
He was talking to himself and never expected the big dog to understand it.
The big dog glanced at him coolly, and didn't scream, still looking at Rentat out of the city with "melancholy and eagerness". When his injuries healed, he immediately fled the dangerous Rentat City!
Ali turned his head, imitating the big dog, looked at the direction of Rentat's exit from the city, looked at the city wall covered with silver-white moon yarn, and sighed softly: "Although Rentat's wall is tall, it is far from comparable to the invisible wall between nobles and ordinary people. It makes people dare not move forward, cold and ruthless, tall and strong, and insurmountable..."
He did not try to organize the language in a complete way, but directly expressed his emotions in his heart. After all, the audience was a dog.
"Can ordinary people really not enter the world of aristocratic people? Why do everyone have eyes, nose, soul, and brain to think, but they can naturally noble and look down on us? Is the good or bad birth determined the whole life?" Ali said of his thoughts on aristocrats and civilians. In pain, he could only choose a direction in silently accepting this reality of being born ruled and questioning the essence of aristocrats. Obviously, he was unwilling to be inferior to others forever.
The big dog whined softly and finally turned his head to look at Ali. It's so childish!
The status of the nobles comes from the power they control, just like the many strong men of the werewolf clan. This is an objective fact and will not change because someone questioned this situation. If you want to change, you can only gain more powerful power by yourself. At that time, the nobles will welcome you to join their circle, so that you do not want to change this situation.
"Do you agree with my idea?" Ali saw that the big dog finally reacted, and felt a little better, and continued to mutter: "Actually, I understand very well that if I want to break this invisible wall, I must achieve enough respect for myself. However, Lentat has too many industries and too many opportunities, which makes me dare not make a decision easily, for fear of missing out on real opportunities. The gorgeous carriages, alchemy cars, and aircraft seen outside Mills School made me feel that the distance is far away, so far that I can't cross......"
He exhaled the emotions he had accumulated during this period in one breath, his mood improved a lot, and gradually became excited, and he regained the vitality of a young man under the age of twenty.
"After saying this, I have made a decision. I don't know much about this at present, except for knowing words. Maybe I can study while working in the hospital and alchemy workshop, but such learning is not solid and cannot let me know what I am good at and what I want. So, I have to save money to go to the general education school." Ali stood up and said to Yinyue with a sacred expression.
"I know the road is difficult, the distance is very far, and the walls are very tall, but it does not mean that you are not from a poor person, and you can't even eat and wear and warm. But relying on your own efforts and persistence, I have become a musician, a music master, a magician, and a great arcane! I also have the queen gold coins given by my father and mother. I can save enough money to go to the general education school in a few months. It is much better than the situation of Your Excellency Evans back then!" Ali clenched his fists and encouraged himself.
Lucien's story is so legendary that it has been adapted into various stories by a number of minstrels, and has been unanimously praised by nobles and civilians. It is a very inspiring series.
"Although I don't have the talent of Lord Evans and cannot become a master in the fields of music and magic, as long as I study knowledge hard, I will definitely succeed in the field I am good at!" Ali learned from the letter from pen pal Jian that the current era is a time of lack of talents, and there are still fewer people who know writing, and there are even fewer talents who have learned various knowledge to a certain extent. No matter how well I learn, as long as I master a little, I will not worry about not being able to find something that suits my status.
And if you learn well, you may become a magician, a knight, or other profession that can interact with the nobles equally.
In this era, there will be no useless knowledge, so although learning is a waste of time, as long as you pass this stage, you will walk more steadily and more solidly, and farther and higher than others!
Ali, who made up his mind, felt more and more beautiful and dreamy. He smiled at the big dog next to him in a good mood and said, "If I were the bard or the protagonist in the drama story, maybe I could awaken my arcane and magical talents in the general school, meet many friends, and eventually defeat the demons and devils who conspired to destroy the world and become a legendary magician who changed the ages. Haha, then you will also become a famous dog in historical books and the original companion of a great person!"
As he said that, he uh: "According to the story of the bard, you should be a dog with a rich background and powerful strength, a real magic creature. The encounter between us made the wheel of fate slowly turn..."
He said, while checking the big dog's body with great enthusiasm, finally sighing, "Hey, you are indeed an ordinary dog."
When he spoke, he clearly felt that the big dog's eyes were filled with a hint of "resentment". Hey, resentment?
The next day was Ali's vacation. He was traveling around the city with a big dog who had improved rapidly, looking for another temporary job and trying to save enough money as soon as possible.
"The new alchemy workshop? Producing electronic tubes? What is this?" Ali suddenly saw an announcement. Curiously, he took the big dog to the address of this alchemy workshop.
When he was about to arrive at the alchemy workshop near the city gate area, Ali strangely saw the big dog burying his head and leaning against him.
"What's wrong? I'm afraid of too many people?" He asked subconsciously, and then stopped paying attention.
The big dog is Nasdel, who is looking for every opportunity to escape from Rentat, but his reaction just now was due to something else.
"The disgusting vampire is also here?" Nasdel turned around and looked at the back in the crowd, "Hmph, you will definitely die in the dangerous city of Rentat!"
After walking for a while, Nasdel's eyes lit up because the city gate area is not far away!
"As long as I escape, I can get rid of danger!"
"This guy always thinks I am a dog, so he will find a way to give him some treasure in the future!"
Desire filled Nasdel's heart. He rushed out despite his health not being completely improved and ran quickly, like a fish trying to return to the sea!
Fifty meters, twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, the city gates were getting closer and closer, and Nasdel was getting more and more excited.
Bang!
A loud collision sounded, and a speeding alchemy car stopped at the city gate. The owner pretended to be angry and said, "Who has raised a dog? Suddenly he rushed onto the road and wanted to murder?"
Ali watched in amazement as the big dog ran wildly and was hit by an alchemy car because he could not dodge. He vomited blood, his limbs twitched, and then he did not move.
After he came to his senses, he hurriedly went up to apologize. The guilty car owner said a few perfunctory words and asked Ali to drag the big dog away.
Looking at the big dog's corpse, Ali sighed: "It seems that we are not really a partner who can make the wheel of fate turn. However, thank you for your company these two days, which has allowed me to find my confidence again. I will bury you well."
He dragged the big dog to the woods outside the city, buried it very seriously, and then calmed down and continued his struggle.
When Ali left, the "grave" suddenly cracked and a big dog that was about to die of breath slowly emerged.
"Fortunately, I would pretend to be dead, and finally left Rentat..." Nasdel whispered in pain all over his body, then he looked back at Rentat in the distance, and said fearfully, "Lentat is really dangerous!"
"We must report it to Your Excellency the Prince!"
In the holy city of Reims, Benedict III looked at the Cardinal Philip in front of him and said, "Can't get the response of the angel king?"
