"Chief Plugati, the rumor you requested to spread that the black-haired man is good at mechanics has been spread by people from the Department of Chronicles and Culture. The odds between Master Sage and Xiwei are now 4:1, and the number of people who voted for Master Sage has arrived.
270 gold longs, while Xiwei’s is only 76 gold longs.”
The boy in school uniform lowered his head and read the parchment he had just received.
"This won't work. What did Hengsen and Cecil say? We won't make much profit in the end." In the brown-tiled building of the Department of Literature, the boy known as Tiwen Chang mused.
"The two of them have already gone to the Qingge Lecture Hall. They are probably somewhat interested in this mechanical duel."
"Let's go too. This black-haired boy always makes me feel vaguely uneasy." Plega stood up and patted the black school uniform robe.
——
"The Qingge Lecture Hall is ahead, let's go in first." Jessicana felt cold sweat on her palms, and she pushed open the door of the lecture hall with trembling hands.
What comes into view is a huge brown marble lecture hall. The circular podium is located at the lowest point, and is made of special white tiles. The dark green tables and chairs made of green winter wood exude a faint fragrance, and a huge blue pigeon relief is carved on the
On the last row of walls.
There is a huge ore-burning lamp above the head, and there are candle holders on the wall. Although it is still very different from the St. Joseph's Lecture Hall in Santinoa, this can already be regarded as a first-class lecture hall.
"I will sit in the front row... cheering for you..." Jessicana sighed deeply. She looked at Xavier calmly, but in the depths of her eyes, Xavier saw a trace of despair.
"Before I came to the Norwegian Academy, I heard about the eldest lady of the Du Guaclin family. I didn't expect it to be you." Xavier smiled, knelt down on one knee, took Jessica's hand, and kissed her lightly.
.
"It's not a good nobleman to live up to a girl's expectations." Xavier pulled away his hand, leaving Jessicana who was still in a daze.
Is this the lecture hall? Xavier walked down one level, and most of the students were already sitting in the seats. When he saw Xavier walking, he blinked, and the crowd immediately exploded.
"That freshman in the mechanical department?"
"You look good, but what a pity is that face."
"I heard that the black-haired bloodline is very mixed, just like that Ai Lei from the mechanical department. Do you know how many mixed bloodlines need to be mixed to produce black hair?"
A boy with brown hair had a somewhat high-pitched voice, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the people around him.
"How many?"
"At least seven different bloodlines. In addition to Santinoa, Ye Kelan, Noli, Punokaibao, Grant, etc., there may even be orc blood!"
The brown-haired boy raised his head proudly. These are expanded contents of the biology department, and they are indeed unclear to students from other departments.
"Really... tell me, will there be a cat on Ai Lei's head..." A boy immediately squinted and smiled.
"Ahem." Before he could speak, the boy next to him immediately coughed and interrupted.
"...Ear..." The boy before suddenly felt a chill in his back. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly turned his head.
A black figure walked past the white stone corridor next to me. Short hair with straight ears is extremely rare in Noli Academy. Needless to say, she was also that girl...
She ignored you completely. The boy's friend wrote, looking at the boy's embarrassment and dejection to express comfort.
"...Not bad, it's a bit exciting." After a circle of silence, a burst of laughter broke out.
The moment Ai Lei walked into the Qingge Lecture Hall, she felt different looks. The most common ones were those boys looking at her from beginning to end with scrutinizing eyes.
Especially when she reached the seventh row, she clearly heard the joking insults, but she just trembled all over and continued walking forward.
After walking to the first row, Ai Lei found a seat with no noble disciples behind her and sat down. Even in the large lecture hall, nobles and commoners were consciously and rigidly separated, and there were many junior students from the mechanical department around them.
The school girls all greeted Ai Lei respectfully.
"Miss Dugueclin is sitting in the civilian area?" Ai Lei did not turn her head, she said calmly to the girl next to her who had just sat down and straightened the pleats of her skirt.
"Yeah." Jessicana tried her best to make her voice the same as before, but with a hint of tired hoarseness.
"She is afraid that if she goes to her original position now, the ladies will make fun of her. As for those young masters, facing a young lady from a declining family..." A brisk voice came, and sitting on the right side of Jessicana, another
A girl got off.
Winnie Lango, Elle frowned.
For this girl, it was difficult for her to see clearly what the other person was thinking. She was born in a slum, but she could easily sneak into the upper class circle of the academy. She was good at all kinds of dances that she knew nothing about, and her etiquette scores were all passed with full marks.
She never even showed any disgust towards Airei, but in the eyes of other girls, Winnie was a more annoying existence than Airei.
"Winnie, wait for me!" The young man with dark red hair ran over, and there was a burst of cheers from the girls along the way.
...Karin Loveray... Airei held her chin helplessly, why is this guy here, but even if Airei didn't care, she often heard about Winnie Lango and Karin Loveray.
trivia.
Then Master Carlin sat on Winnie's right side.
"If there is no room here, please allow me to sit down." A clear and arrogant voice sounded, and Master Carlin's face froze for a moment. He turned back and looked at the girl beside him.
"Miss Carlotas, if you like, please sit down." Winnie winked cutely, put her hands on her chest and lowered her head gently.
"Humph." Xenia frowned. The other party used the etiquette of the humblest person towards a noble person, so she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"Huh?" I just want to watch a mechanical duel!
The corner of Ailei's mouth trembled. She also knew this girl, Xenia Nayi Kalotas, the eldest daughter of the Kalotas family, one of the four viscounts, and Carlin's fiancée.
The terraced lecture hall seats surround the lowest podium from low to high. Six passages divide it into six fan-shaped seats. The first row has six seats. At a glance, Ailei saw that she was the only one.
One that is about to be full!
When did these guys become interested in machinery? Ai Lei sighed.
"Everyone, are there any vacancies here?"
Ailei's heart skipped a beat. To her left, at the end of the first row of her big seat, stood a tall boy wrapped in bandages.
You guys... Elle looked to the side. Jessicana didn't know what she was thinking. Carlin had been thinking about talking to Winnie, while his fiancée turned away coldly.
"No one." Ailei nodded silently, and the tall boy beside him also bowed slightly and saluted.
"Alvin Unkwe, it is an honor to sit with such a beautiful girl as Miss Alley."
Without a trace of disgust or contempt, Ai Lei looked up at Alvin, his sharp and cold eyes engraved on her heart like a sword.
