"Thank you, professor."
Looking at the flowery girl in front of him, Glando smiled and said, "You're welcome, son. Now there are few children who are as easy to learn and smart as you, and I will be happy to answer your questions.
Put away the wisdom brain used for the lecture, the professor patted Leah on the shoulder, made a "come on" gesture, and then left with his hands behind his back. So the classroom became quiet, and Leah saw that it was too late, so she packed up and was ready to leave. I didn't want to step forward, and the door was closed.
A young man with linen hair stood by the door smiling, and there were several boys of similar age beside him. Leah knew that his name was Bosge, a nobleman, and other boys also had noble names. So she politely said, "Dear Mr. Bosger, could you please open the door? It's not early. I think I should go home."
Bosge waved his hand shyly and said, "Don't, don't call me sir, let alone use respectful words. Leah, do you mind if I call you that? In fact, I want to ask, there must be many suitors for a beautiful girl like you, right?
Lia smiled and said, "You are flattered. In fact, I'm ordinary, and there are not many suitors.
Bosge's eyes lit up and immediately gestured back. A boy knew how to stuff the prepared flowers into Bosg's hand, so Bosg took out a handful of flowers from behind like a magic and said, "Well, if I tell you. I admire you very much, Leah. Will you agree to date me?
Lia looked at Bosger in surprise and then said, "The flowers are beautiful, but I can't accept them."
"Why?"
"Because my husband will be unhappy." Leah smiled sweetly.
Bosger's expression stiffened and reluctantly laughed, "Look, Leah. Although my family is not a nobleman, I have a good relationship with the Andrew family, and the Andrew family is a collateral branch of the Planning family, one of the three rich families. If you agree with my request, I promise to give you happiness. As for your love, I think a lot of compensation should make him accept this fact. So, you don't have to worry about anything."
Bosger thinks he is right and considerate. No matter how hard the woman is, she will be moved by herself, especially after showing off her family, but Leah, who comes from a commoner, does not immediately throw herself into her arms. But what he didn't expect was that Leah, who had maintained a smile because of politeness, became cold after hearing this.
She said coldly, "Mr. Bosger, please take care of yourself. You don't understand that true love cannot be measured by money!"
As soon as Leah's voice fell, a freckled boy behind Bosg laughed out: "Miss, have you watched a lot of Shakespeare's plays?"
He stabbed Bosge and said, "Why whisper to this kind of civilian, Bosge, if you like her, you can ask her here. We'll give you the wind, and let us taste it after that.
Bosge's face changed and said seriously to Leah, "I'm by no means such a person!"
Lia took a deep look at him, and there was a wonderful glow in the depths of her pupils. Bosge was stared at by her eyes, as if any secret had been seen through by Leah, and subconsciously lowered his head. The brilliance in her eyes restrained, and Leah sighed and shook her head: "But your heart tells me that you are that kind of person. Just now, I heard the cry of desire. Mr. Bosger, please get out of the way. Don't let things get out of control while you can control the beast in your heart, okay?"
Bosge only felt that a heart was sore, painful and uncomfortable. Leah's soft words fell into his ear, but it penetrated into his heart like an awl and kept twisting, stirring up the things in it.
He smiled, and Bosg reached out to unbutton his coat. When he looked up at Leah again, the elegant young man's expression became twisted and ferocious: "What kind of love? Bah, you bitches deserve to talk about love. I like you, it's your pleasure. Since you are shameless, I will strip your clothes to see how much your love is worth!"
Lia sighed gently and fell into her handbag, which contained a pocket pistol given to her. Two special bullets, stun bullet and voltage bullet, have been installed in the pistol, which are for Leah's self-defense.
But when Bosger came forward with a ferocious smile, the classroom door was kicked open. Under the light outside the door, a tall and thin figure appeared. Leah thought it was zero, but it was another boy who came in from the outside.
The thin and tall boy who bit a grassroots and shaved his hair looked at Bosg and others in the classroom and whistled, "I said how to close the door. It turned out that Master Bosger was having a party in the classroom. Why don't you give it to me? What are you playing?
He said laughingly and heard Bosge frowning. The freckled boy sneered and said, "Langdon, it's nothing to do with you. Get out now, we can take it as if nothing happened.
"Wow, it's so scary." The boy named Langdon made an exaggerated expression and then said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do? Bosge, I advise you and your friends not to think about Leah. This is not for Leah, but for your good, if you don't want to die.
Bosge turned around and smiled, "This is the most priceless threat I've ever heard. Is it up to you, Langdon, a civilian boy who wants our life?
He laughed, and the others were also attached. Langdon looked at them coldly and said, "Of course I can't kill you. But Lia's man is okay. Don't you know yet? Who is Leah's sweetheart?
"Who is it?" A boy asked curiously.
Have you heard of it? Do you remember the man who fought against Sol and ended up in a draw in the Hammer of Destruction Training Hall a month ago? Langdon said slowly, "Yes, he is Leah's sweetheart. You dare to touch Leah's words. Why don't you think about it, how dare you provoke such a man with your family? To provoke the man who can draw with the leader of Saul?
The whole classroom is silent.
After a moment, Bosger "hummed" and slammed the door with an ugly face. And his friends followed closely, but after Bosger walked out of the classroom, he said to Langdon, "That man, I really dare not provoke him. But Langdon, please be careful in the future. I still dare to provoke your words."
"I'm ready to accompany you, dear Master Bosge." Langdon bent down and pressed his chest.
Lia looked at the funny boy, couldn't help laughing and said, "Thank you. However, aren't you afraid to provoke Bosg? Anyway, they are nobles.
"I know. However, unless they transfer the warriors of the family, it's just their words, and I don't pay attention to them. Langdon touched his nose and said, "Nothing else. I'm very good at fighting."
"You are so interesting. Anyway, thank you today."
"You're welcome." Langdon waved his hand and licked his lips and said, "However, it would be great if Leah would do me a favor."
"What's up to?" Leah asked.
Langdon scratched his head and said, "Well, as you know, a commoner like me. Even if I have the ability, I don't know when I will be the first day. So I thought, Leah, can you help me with zero? That's the name, right? Because the name is very strange and special, I should remember it correctly. Can you help me talk to Zero and let me join his army?
"Do you want to join the army?" Leah looked surprised: "If you want to join the army, which of Asgard's five legions is better than zero?"
Langdon said with a wry smile, "My lady, how can the five legions enter if they want to? Especially civilians like me, and they don't have particularly strong capabilities. Recruiting recruits every year is an opportunity, but I have missed it this year. More importantly, the Hammer of Destruction is about to enter the battle of the tundra in the west. If I can join the zero team now, I will have a chance to participate in this battle.
"If I can perform on the battlefield in the west, I think I can definitely get what I want!" Langdon clenched his fist.
"You men are thinking about war in your head." Leah shook her head helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Zero. But it's up to him whether he can join or not.
"That's enough. Let's go, Leah, I'll take you out, so that Bosg's bastards won't do anything." Langdon pulled up his sleeve and waved his fist and said excitedly.
What an energetic guy. Lia thought.
Outside the gate of Montaglia College, Zero is waiting. He looked at the small electronic clock on the locomotive instrument and frowned gently. Leah should have finished class at this time, but she hasn't come out yet. After thinking about it, I decided to look for Lia in the college. As soon as I took the car key, I saw Leah and a boy coming out. When she saw Zero, Lia waved her hand and said goodbye to the boy next to her before trotting towards Zero.
The boy who sent Leah out showed a bright smile when he looked at zero and waved his hand vive force. Zero was a little confused and even polite. He waved his hand to the boy.
After witnessing the boy leave, Zero asked Leah, "Is that also your student?"
Lia nodded, took the helmet from Zero and put it on: "Hmm. His name is Langdon, and he is an interesting boy.
Zero "Oh" sound, and I didn't pay attention to it. After restarting the engine of the locomotive, he slowly drove Leah to the highway. Lia sat behind her, holding Zero's waist tightly with her hands, and her whole body almost pressed against his back.
In the evening, a thin projection of Xishan appeared on the holographic board. In the sky red reflected by the setting sun, there are few white clouds. The sun fell on the ground and cast the shadow for a long time. Leah looked at the ground, and her and Zero's shadow extended to the end of the road, as if it could reach the end of the world.
I wish it could go on like this.
Lia thought, but she knew it was impossible.
"It's about to go on an expedition."
In the helmet, Lia said softly. Her voice is not high, but it can be heard clearly through the communication channel in the helmet.
After a moment, Zero answered with a faint nasal voice.
"I want to go to the battlefield with you, okay?"
Lia asked gently again.
Obviously, this problem has a great impact on zero. The locomotive swayed slightly before it stabilized. A moment later, Ling asked, "Why? Leah, the battlefield is different from the wilderness. It's more dangerous there. The threat of death is everywhere. Even I can't guarantee that I will come back.
"So, I want to go more!" Leah's hands were harder: "I don't want to be separated from you anymore. The experience of wandering alone in darkness and dreams is enough for once. If I die, I also want to die in your arms instead of waiting alone. Besides, I'm different from before, aren't I?"
"The ability I have should be able to help you on the battlefield. More importantly, zero, I don't want to be your burden. I think I can also do something for you!"
Zero is silent.
Victor once asked him if he wanted Leah to go to the battlefield. At that time, his answer was no, but now Leah has taken the initiative to make this request. He understood Leah's feelings. The girl wanted to prove her worth, and she didn't want to be a vase for zero appreciation. She wants to try to change, and everyone has the freedom to pursue ideals, doesn't she?
"It's not impossible." Zero said in a low voice, "However, you have to stand the test."
"If you want to go to the battlefield with me, you have to participate in the military training at the base from tomorrow. The whole training plan is presided over by Brown, and I will ask him to be treated equally. If you can't stand it, you have to stay in Asgatri. But even if you hold on, there will be a practical assessment before the real expedition. Similarly, if you can't pass, I won't allow you to go to the battlefield.
Lia smiled happily: "Okay, I promise you. If I can't do it, I will give up the idea."
Maybe Leah's idea is impulsive and even self-evous. But people will always appear impulsive at some times and do things that are beyond their strength in the eyes of outsiders. But if not, there would be no miracle in the world.
Miracle is to create possibilities in the impossible!
The sunset and the dusk are beautiful. The speed of the locomotive is not fast. It silently carries the two people hugging each other, and the shadow drags out a long track behind the car, as if chasing light and dreams. In this turbulent era, it is not easy to live, and it is even more difficult to have dreams. After all, the cruelty of this era has already worn out the courage of most people to embrace their dreams.
But there will always be some people who still retain this courage. Maybe they will pay a big price on the way to pursue their dreams, but they are still moving forward. For example, zero, Leah, and him.
Langdon walked home with his hands in his pockets. He was a civilian and his parents were both workers. The only blessing is that his family has the status of a free citizen. Even if it is only one class higher than slaves, they already have relative freedom. Langdon's parents used all their savings to study in order to change Langdon's life.
And today, Langdon finally saw the opportunity. Through Leah, he had the opportunity to join the army of Zero, and Langdon even began to fantasize about his heroic return to the battlefield.
But at this time, several figures appeared in front of him.
Bosger said coldly, "You seem to be in a good mood, Mr. Langdon."
