Jenna cleared the table, picked up the soy milk and meat buns specially left for Franka, and said to Ludwig beside her:
"You can read and study now."
Ludwig's expression changed a few times, and he argued with reason:
“What use can I make by studying?
"If you want to master knowledge, eat scientists; if you want to master abilities, eat extraordinary people!"
Jian Na smiled lightly and said:
"Studying is indeed not important to you, but it is important for you to learn."
"..." Jenna was so frank that Ludwig, who was already clumsy, had no way to respond.
Jian Na considered it for a while and then said:
"Although we don't know the specific process, and you must have forgotten it, the fact that you were sealed by the Church of Knowledge is as solid as iron. What is the biggest difference between you and the clergy of the Church of Knowledge? It is the attitude of learning!"
Ludwig was a little confused by what he said, so he sat down at the table reluctantly and helplessly, and spread out his textbook.
Jian Na returned to the master bedroom and closed the door.
Franka struggled to sit up half-sitting, stuffed a pillow behind her back, and said in a suppressed voice:
"You are fooling Ludwig again. If you want to use learning to defeat the Church of Knowledge, you are competing with the other party on the track they are best at and under their favorite rules. How can you win? The best way is to give full play to your own strengths.
"Hehe, the 'witch' must be good at deceiving people."
Many "witches" have had the experience of deceiving others' feelings to digest the "painful" potion, and several of them also invested in it themselves, and finally had to be separated cruelly, so they also had the painful part for themselves.
Jian Na laughed:
"You have to find a reason for him, and he just wants to find a reason."
Jian Na paused and said thoughtfully:
"Besides, I think studying is still useful for Ludwig. You saw it during the battle last night. He looked like a complete monster. But the details of our daily interactions make me think that in addition to being able to eat, he also loves to eat.
, must eat, otherwise he is a normal little boy.
"This is due to the seal of the Knowledge Church, and it should also be due to the fact that he has brought about changes through learning and mastering rules, morals, and common sense in human society."
While talking, Jenna put the plastic cup of soy milk to Franka's mouth and let her take a sip. Then she handed the meat bun over and watched her bite into the stuffing part.
Franka had never enjoyed such treatment before, and she suddenly felt happy.
She nodded thoughtfully:
"What you mean is that learning was one of the ways to integrate Ludwig into human society. Learning gave him some humanity?"
"Yeah." Janna started chatting with her casually while feeding Franka breakfast. In the end, she used a wet tissue to wipe Franka's mouth clean and wash her face.
After doing these things, Jianna took the garbage and left the master bedroom.
After being busy for dozens of seconds, she sat next to Ludwig, as if supervising her child's study.
After looking at it for a while, she took out two packages of things from the "traveler's bag" and placed them on the table.
Those were two bags of poorly packaged rice dumplings.
While Ludwig looked over in astonishment, Jenna said with a smile:
"If you can pass my test later, they will be yours.
"Do you like spicy or plain?"
"I like them all!" Ludwig buried his head again, his eyes extremely focused.
"I prefer the original flavor." Jenna opened the package, stuffed two pieces into her mouth, and started chewing.
Ludwig looked at her blankly, his mouth half-opened, his expression blank.
Isn't this my reward?
"Before you finish studying, I'll eat something first. Don't worry, I'll leave some for you." Jian Na smiled.
Franca, who was sitting on the bed in the master bedroom, couldn't help laughing when she heard this conversation.
She suddenly thought that although Jian Na usually behaved very maturely, based on her actual age, she was actually a girl who had just graduated from college. It was normal for such a girl to like snacks, and now she finally had such an opportunity.
The smile on Franka's face gradually softened, and a new conversation came from the living room outside:
"This is corn soup-flavored puffed food."
"These are cucumber-flavored potato chips."
"These are chocolate wafer cookies."
"..."
"These snacks are not in large quantities because they are not as cheap as staple foods, but they are all prepared for you as a reward for studying hard and taking exams."
"You, eat less! I will work hard!"
Franca leaned on the pillow and slowly had a strange feeling:
He is a father who is recuperating from illness, and outside he is a child who is greedy and tired of learning, and a mother who supervises the children to do their homework.
If you ignore words like "the corpse's fingers are also your reward today", the daily life of a family of three is really too warm and beautiful.
…………
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The horn kept sounding behind and to the side of the gray car, urging Lumian to drive faster, but Lumian was calm and composed, completely ignoring the noise around him and letting the vehicle move forward steadily at the lowest speed allowed on the current road section.
.
Novice drivers, safety first!
Anthony sat in the passenger seat and kept scrolling through his phone and reading local news.
"What are you looking for?" Lumian glanced at his companion from the corner of his eye.
Anthony should not be addicted to the Internet yet, after all, he has just learned to surf the Internet.
Anthony turned his head and said solemnly:
"I still feel that there are a few details in last night's battle that are getting more and more wrong the more I think about them."
"For example?" Lumian focused on driving.
Anthony considered and said:
"The second security guard who blew himself up, his state before the explosion was very much like that of the 'Puppet Master' himself, but he blew himself up just like that."
"The ability to swap positions between the marionette and the main body? Do you suspect that there was indeed a demigod-level 'marine master' assisting Tianzun's marionette at the scene?" Lumian understood what Anthony wanted to express, "But how much did we pay attention to?
No traces were found within ten meters. Could it be that the demigod-level 'Secret Puppet Master' is in a state that we cannot see, hear, or touch?"
"This is the scariest point. If there really is such a 'Puppet Master', why didn't he save the resurrected female corpse later, and why didn't he spread our appearance and image characteristics to the public?" Anthony said again.
His eyes returned to the phone.
Lumian nodded slowly and said:
"Are you checking the reports and private rumors about last night's incident to see if any of our information has been leaked?"
"Yes." Anthony's finger kept sliding on the screen. "The rumor currently circulating is that a conflict at work caused one of the security guards to get a detonator, which killed his colleagues and himself..."
Before Anthony finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
He frowned slightly:
"I saw a strange local news. This morning, a madman was found next to the garbage dump near Mingyue Mall. He was completely irrational and unable to communicate. Then, he was sent to the hospital for treatment."
"Near the shopping mall? Crazy?" Lumian also noticed the strangeness of this news and asked keenly, "Which hospital was he sent to?"
Could this madman be the "Secret Puppet Master" who was hidden last night?
Did he not intervene in the subsequent battle because something happened to him?
What happened? Why did it happen?
"The news didn't talk about it." Anthony continued to brush up on reports in this area.
Lumian maintained his speed and took another ten minutes to reach his destination.
After finding a parking space and parking the car with difficulty, he and Anthony walked to the "Xingmeng Grocery Store" located at the corner of the street.
There were no lights on in this shop, and it was narrow and dark inside. The moment Lumian entered, it was like going from morning to night.
He glanced at the tall shelves filled with strange products on both sides, and walked to the cashier at the end.
There was a woman in a black dress sitting behind the checkout counter. She leaned against the wooden cabinet behind her and played with her mobile phone. There was a tablet playing TV series in front of her.
Lumian said politely:
"Hello, I would like to send a letter."
He actually said in a grocery store that he was here to mail a letter.
The woman in black skirt who was playing with her mobile phone didn't find it strange and asked without raising her head:
"Where to send it, and to whom?"
"Send to Serenity Church, to Senior Deacon Leonard Mitchell." Lumian took out the letter addressed to the Major Arcana cards.
The woman in the black dress was still looking at her mobile phone and said in a gentle and calm voice:
"There is a black mailbox inlaid with silver on the third floor of the right shelf. You can just put the letter in it.
"Come and get your reply tomorrow."
"Thank you." Lumian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the shelf.
What he saw at first glance was not a toy mailbox, but a book made of brass and a silver mirror with black eyeballs on both sides.
Lumian quickly scanned it and found classical quill pens, various strange dice and other products. If the shopkeeper hadn't been playing with his mobile phone or looking at his tablet, he would have felt like he was back in the real world, back in Trier.
The style of these items is different from that of Dream City, more like something from the Northern Continent!
After putting the letter into the silver-lined toy mailbox, Lumian turned sideways and asked the shopkeeper:
"Can I see the merchandise here?"
The shopkeeper's voice was filled with a smile:
"These are all for sale."
Can it be sold? As a "witch", Lumian first picked up the silver mirror with an ancient pattern and a black gemstone on each side.
In the mirror, Lumian's face quickly appeared:
The eyes are light blue, clear and deep, the face is slightly thin, almost perfect, the lips are neither thick nor thin, the color is light but moist, with a hint of light...
This is his female form.
It directly reflected my "witch" state... There is indeed something magical about this mirror... As soon as Lumian had this thought, he saw water shining on the surface of the mirror, outlining rows of bloody Gufusa
Croatian words:
"I am the great Arrodes, and I can answer any of your questions, but you must also answer an equal number of my questions in the presence of at least one spectator.
"If you refuse to answer or lie, you will be punished."
Arrods, the great Arrods Lumian knew this name.
Franka mentioned that this is the magic mirror belonging to Mr. Fool, which answers questions most accurately, but every question it asks will cause the social death of the diviner.
Mr. Fool's magic mirror was actually located in this grocery store in his dream? What does this mean and what does it symbolize? Lumian couldn't help but glance at the shop owner again, the woman in black skirt who was playing with her mobile phone.
After some deliberation, Lumian said calmly:
"My question is, what do you want to remind you about waking up Mr. Fool?"
