Chapter 4 Letters from a distant childhood sweetheart
The visitor turned out to be Mrs. Liz on the first floor. Usually Chai Anping could only see her at the beginning of every month when he was collecting property fees.
In Demacia City, the monthly property fees are paid to the residents on the first floor first, and then handed over to the "urban management" department. Mrs. Liz is very enthusiastic about this task... but it is still monthly.
Hit it!
"Uh, what's the matter?"
Although he didn't have a good impression of this lady, Chai Anping quickly moved his seat and invited her to sit at home.
"Oh... no, Mr. Gracie." Mrs. Liz smiled and waved her hand. She actually had a good impression of Chai Anping, a young man who lives in the "court": "I will have a tea party later."
She took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Gracie and said, "This seems to be a letter sent from your hometown. You just moved here a month ago and haven't set up a mailbox yet, so the postman entrusted the letter to me."
"So that's it, thank you so much!" Upon hearing this, Chai Anping's favorable impression of this pretentious woman increased by 10 percentage points.
Mrs. Liz nodded slightly: "It's just a little effort, but... Mr. Gracie, as your neighbor, I have a little suggestion."
"Ah...please speak."
"You have a very decent and honorable job, but if you really want to integrate into the middle class of the capital, you should attend more tea parties like me..."
"Besides, many girls from good families are asking me for news about you."
Chai Anping:???
"Cough cough cough..."
"Mrs. Liz, I have something else to do!"
Quickly send this dangerous woman away, Chai Anping closed the door and let out a sigh of relief, his body is only 19!
Unexpectedly, I was targeted!
Apart from heart palpitations, Chai Anping was also a little happy. He didn't expect that one day he would also be "inquired".
"But who will write to me?"
There are no acquaintances in my hometown since my father joined the army, and he was the only one left after his father passed away. This is why the original owner of this body, Gracie, sold all the real estate in his hometown and moved to the capital.
The memories received from the original owner also show that he had no old friends good enough to "exchange letters".
"Let's open it first and take a look..."
Chai Anping tore open the seal neatly, and curiously read this "letter" from his hometown.
"Dear Gracie, you see the words as you see the face!"
There is a casual font in Juanxiu, which seems to be written by a woman.
"I am Elabella Green. I wonder if you still remember me. We were the best playmates when we were children..."
ah……
After reading this, a vague image did emerge in Chai Anping's mind, but unfortunately, the original owner's memory did not seem to have a deep impression on this "Alebella Green".
"Tsk, embarrassing."
"It has been more than ten years since we last separated. This time I came home and heard that you had moved to the capital and had a good job. I am so happy for you!
I may also go to the capital in the near future. Gracie, you can work hard and make a fortune in the capital, and I believe I can too!"
Chai Anping:???
"But I don't know anything about the capital now... The old people say that the noble lords are monsters who eat people without spitting out their bones. I hope you can help me if I get to the capital. Please, please!"
There was also a cute and playful expression at the end, but after reading the whole letter, Chai Anping still didn't quite understand what his little friend meant...
Hard work?
What is this image of the little girl in your own impression?
"Hey, I thought it was a serious letter..."
He tilted his head and put the letter away, feeling in his heart that this person is really inexplicable, just come here... Anyway, it's none of his business, it's just because he was a child, but it's not like someone's fake love since he was a child and he fell in love with her to death.
That kind of thing, we haven't seen each other for many years, how can we still have any feelings?
The top priority is to practice your sword skills quickly so that your training results will not be so ugly.
As long as he didn't have to take shifts in the palace, he would go to a nearby training hall to study every night. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to learn the customs and customs of Demacia, and on the other hand, he strengthened his weak body strength.
Demacia only advocates strong physical abilities, and has always hated the magical power that once nearly destroyed the continent of Valoran.
Special "magic hunters" are set up to capture naturally born mages across the country and execute or imprison them.
If nothing else happens, the famous Silas is currently squatting in the prison, and I don’t know if he has met the innocent Lux...
So if Chai Anping really wanted to increase his strength, he could only develop into a tough guy style like Galen.
Living in such a technologically backward country also has many disadvantages.
For Chai Anping, who has experienced the bombardment of information from computers and mobile phones, the lack of entertainment activities makes him particularly intolerable. The tea party that Mrs. Liz mentioned earlier is the pastime chosen by many people...
There are still a few hours before he goes to the training hall to train, and Chai Anping chooses the method - reading!
Demacia, as a country that has been inherited for thousands of years, has an amazing cultural depth, and fortunately, the largest library in the country is not far from Chai Anping's apartment, and he can rely on the power of his palace guards to
You can borrow books for free forever.
Tsk!
"Knowledge is the greatest wealth."
But it seems like he is the only one in the whole apartment who goes to the library to borrow books...
What he is reading right now is a novel about a mage who killed civilians a hundred years ago and was killed by a brave Demacian protagonist after he rose up and resisted.
It has to be said that the mage born in Demacia is really miserable. Not only the official, but also many parents will regard it as a sad curse. Even if the ability is proven to be harmless, it is likely to "accidentally"
Died "during custody and transfer."
The popularity of this kind of novel can also prove the low social status of mages.
but……
Chai Anping, who knew some of the inside stories of the alliance, couldn't help but wonder, what would his brother Galen do when Lux's mage ability was exposed to the world?
And it seems that there are also mage bloodlines that were suddenly born in those high-level courtyards.
Sooner or later, these profound social contradictions will break out under the leadership of Silas...
This is what Chai Anping knows about the direction of Demacia in the next few years, but he doesn't know when Silas will escape from prison, so he can only passively wait for the opportunity to come.
Such a trend of the times is not something that a small palace guard like him can participate in.
