It has been two weeks since the Orc Gathering Report in Brighton City. In the seemingly daily life of Brighton City, residents learned about three major events from the newspapers.
First, Admiral Horton personally ordered his subordinate Lieutenant Colonel Mogos to take a 50-person reconnaissance team to the Sunset Town in the southernmost part of Brighton City, where it meets the Orcs.
The second thing is that the captain of the Elf Queen's Guards was invited by Livlan, a member of the law enforcement team, to Brighton City three days ago and stayed at the Walls Manor where Lord Edwards Child lived.
The third thing is that, except for orcs with permanent resident certificates, any orcs holding short-term identity certificates will be sent back to the orc territory.
It is already the third week since Arthur came to Brighton. In addition to studying hard on normal school days, he will go to school to do voluntary labor from Thunder Moon Day to Moonless Day. His father often told Arthur before,
When you receive a favor, you must repay it to the other person. Arthur is very grateful for everything this charity school taught him. He even learned to make a few simple dishes in the handicraft class.
The weather is getting colder, and the Thunder Moon Day of the week has arrived again. Fewer and fewer children come to school to clean the school during the holidays. Arthur took a broom tied with straw and cleaned the corridor on the second floor of the school and was about to return to the first floor.
The door of the classroom office at the corner of the stairs in the distance opened, and Livlan, who was dressed in purple skin, walked out of the office holding a large pile of cultural textbooks for students.
Because of the important gathering of the orc chiefs, Livlan was urgently ordered two weeks ago to drive back to the elven forest, the elf country, and report the matter to the elf queen. The elves have always disliked using human technology, even if they have become allies.
, the Elf Queen also explicitly prohibited all Elf residents in the Elf Forest from using human technological items, such as the telegraph machines used by human law enforcement agencies and a few noble lords.
When Livlan went out and turned around, she happened to see Arthur holding a broom in a daze. She gestured back and forth with her eyes and asked softly: "Aren't you going to help the teacher?"
Arthur clearly remembered the teacher in front of him. The first class he took when he came to the charity school was Livlan's cultural class, which told the story about the sixth generation Lord of Brighton City, Ryan Hebrew. Arthur's memory
It was still new, especially the later teachers, no matter how the students made noises and heated up the class, they would not mention a word about Ryan's story. George told Arthur that this was because of the sensitivity of the position. What is the sensitivity of the position? Arthur didn't know,
But Arthur was very fond of this elf girl.
Arthur trotted and took the books held by Livlan, followed the elf girl who walked much more briskly, and walked out of the school. Arthur looked at the constantly changing streets around him in confusion, and saw Livlan a little bit.
Without mentioning the destination of the two of them, Arthur became a little frustrated and said, "Teacher Livlan, I have to clean the first floor today. I'm afraid I won't be able to go far."
"Don't worry, we're here." Livlan pointed to the five-story building behind her and walked up the stairs first. Arthur looked up at the tall building and opened his mouth wide. This was the tallest building he had ever seen, and it was obviously the tallest building he had ever seen.
It was on Peckley Street, but Arthur had never seen the building once.
Although he knew that Teacher Livlan would not murder him, out of fear of the unknown and the vague sense of oppression in this building, Arthur would pause for five or six seconds every time he climbed the steps. He had already put the book on his desk.
Livlan, who was walking up the stairs, hadn't seen Arthur follow for a long time. She poked her head out from the gap on the stairs to the upper level, looked at Arthur, and asked with slight surprise: "Why are you walking so slowly? Are you injured?"
"Teacher, this place gives me a strange feeling. My body is inexplicably stiff." After putting down the book, Arthur held on to his waist and relaxed his body with difficulty. It wasn't that he didn't want to keep up with Livlan, but he found that the more he took a step up,
, the greater the pressure, the solemn breath scrutinizing Arthur as he climbed up step by step. Finally reaching the landing connecting the stairs on the first and second floors, Arthur's back was dripping with sweat.
Livlan frowned, thinking about something. Suddenly, she widened her eyes, clapped her hands, and ran down in a few steps. She put a hand on Arthur's shoulder, and the aura dissipated instantly.
"I almost forgot! Any ordinary person who enters the Law Enforcement Hall will be suppressed by the Law Enforcement Hall." Livlan patted Arthur's shoulder several times in succession. After making sure that the pressure on Arthur had completely disappeared, she took a few steps and
Run up to the third floor.
Law Enforcement Department? Where the law enforcement team works? Arthur wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the book again and followed.
Entering the door of the Law Enforcement Hall on the third floor, Arthur took in everything around him. Whether it was the messy coat rack at the door or the messy desk beside him, Arthur was quite surprised. Is this what the Law Enforcement Hall looks like?
, it always feels different from what I imagined, but I don’t know what I should imagine it to be.
"Just put it on the second desk to your right," Livlan's voice came from an office inside.
The second one, is this one? There are stacks of books and information neatly placed on the desk covered with purple tablecloth. In the upper left corner, there is a branch specially brought by Livran from the Elf Forest. It’s strange.
The branches were not inserted into any soil, and there were a few pink flower buds blooming on the surface.
Just as he was about to reach out and touch the branch, Livlan suddenly appeared behind Arthur and stopped his outstretched hand, "You'd better not touch that branch with your hands, as it can absorb moisture from the human body."
Arthur retracted his hand calmly, turned around and asked, "Water? Isn't that very dangerous? I remember Teacher Zoan said that the human body is made of water. Will you die if it is sucked away?"
"The law enforcement team will let me put a dangerous thing that can be sucked away at once on the table?" Livlan laughed and gave Arthur the thing she just took out of the office.
Is this? Arthur took over this small box with a purple ribbon. This is called a gift box. He and George had seen it in the boutique on Clery Street.
"In two weeks, it will be humanity's Thanksgiving Day. I have prepared a lot of gifts for the children in the charity school, but not many. I can't give them to everyone. You are lucky, I will give you the first gift.
Okay. You can take it apart now."
Gift... This is the first word Arthur has heard since he was born. When he was in Green Village, because there were no conditions in Green Village, Arthur would not receive a gift even on his birthday. At most, he could eat more.
A bowl of polenta. Do you want to open it now? Arthur placed the box on the purple desk and took off the decorative ribbon. After opening the box, there was a stuffed bear inside. The corners of Arthur's eyes became wet.
stand up.
"Although it's a little early to tell, I still wish you a happy Thanksgiving, Arthur." Livlan clapped softly behind Arthur.
