If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 1043
Ye Sheng and Jiu De Ya Ji.

Chu Zihang remembered these two names, the two great heroes of the Kuimen Project, the most outstanding group of underwater specialists in the Executive Department, and they even worked together in the later 'Bronze Project'.

Even though Ye Sheng and Yaji didn't perform well that time, and they didn't have their turn to fight or dive, they also provided valuable past experience in the pre-war meeting, which made Chu Zihang and others step down a lot pit.

Although Ye Sheng Yaji and Chu Zihang did not have any communication in the Bronze Project, but the two sides have met each other tentatively, but Ye Sheng is still very particular about meeting and greeting Chu Zihang after opening the door, which is also true. Chu Zihang couldn't help but be concerned about their arrival, which also made him have to be cautious in his reply.

"I'm the current president of the Lionheart Club. I've heard about the name for a long time, but it's absurd. May I ask why you came here to find Lin Nian? Did someone tell you that he is here?" Chu Zihang and Ye Sheng held hands The hands that were together moved down slightly and then separated.

Ye Sheng still maintained a friendly smile and nodded, "I heard that Lin Nian is a member of the Lion Heart Society, and you are also a close friend with President Chu, so I think that if you want to find Lin Nian, you must first find you. As far as the situation is concerned."

"Is that why you came directly to the Norton Hall?" Chu Zihang couldn't fault this answer.

"Yes, is Lin Nian still in the Norton Hall now? I want to talk to him about the past." Ye Sheng nodded politely, and glanced at the guild hall which still maintained its intact structure at the epicenter.

"I'm sorry, Lin Nian is not in the Norton Hall, you can go to the dormitory to look for him, or ask other people if they have seen him nearby." Chu Zihang shook his head and rejected the other party's desire to enter the Norton Hall as a guest request.

He didn't know much about Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji, he only knew that these two people and Lin Nian had once gone on a mission together, and that time ended with Lin Nian and the principal working together to kill a noble subspecies, but Whether the specific process is good or not, and what role these two people play in the task, he has no idea.

At most, Chu Zihang can only confirm that Lin Nian, Ye Sheng and Yaji have no conflicts on the surface. This can be seen from the state of communication between the two parties in the bronze project, but this is only on the surface.

The other party said that Lin Nian and Lin Nian are friends. The definition of "friend" is very broad. Basically, [-]% of people in Kassel College can be friends with Lin Nian. This superficial relationship is not enough to make Chu Zihang looked at the executive senior who had already graduated from a more friendly perspective.

In special times, Chu Zihang must be cautious, and he himself is a cautious person.

After Chu Zihang finished speaking, he took a step back and stretched out his hand to close the door, but when half of the door was about to close, Ye Sheng stretched out his hand to hold the door.

"It's convenient, please." Ye Sheng looked at Chu Zihang with half his head sideways and said with a wry smile.

"It's not a matter of Fang's inconvenience. I really don't know where Lin Nian is." Chu Zihang still refused, and silently made up his mind that if the other party refused to let him swear or something, he would join him. He squeezed his hand hard with the door panel.

Perhaps this senior is much ahead in terms of experience in the executive department, but in terms of simple confrontation strength, Chu Zihang will not lose to any official member of the executive department.

Before Ye Sheng said anything, another hand gently pulled the door, and Jiu De Yaji's gentle voice came from outside the door, "This time we are mainly here to thank Lin Nian, whether it is the earliest cooperation, It was the last mission on the Yangtze River, and we didn’t even have time to thank him in person.”

Chu Zihang didn't increase his strength and stopped. Jiu De Yaji outside the door continued to say slowly, "Ye Sheng and I have discussed this matter many times, and in the end we still think that we should come to Lin Nian in person. Thanks, because he saved the lives of both of us, and we can't repay that. But in my country's culture, there has always been 'いんがおうほう (karma: the same as karma, which can also be called the law of karma. In Japan In Chinese culture, people generally believe that doing good deeds will bring good luck, and doing bad deeds will lead to misfortune.)', so we should pay back, a grain of rice, a roll of silk, a piece of rice, even if these forces come together Not decisive."

Chu Zihang was silent and didn't answer, but he didn't open the door either.Because he shouldn't respond at this time, and someone will give a suitable answer at the same time.

"Let them in." Lin Nian's voice sounded from the stairs.

Chu Zihang let go of his hand, turned around and saw the other person walking down the stairs gently holding on to the handrail with his right hand, he walked up to Chu Zihang and gave him a stable look, Chu Zihang stepped aside without saying a word road.

After half of the door was opened, Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji finally met Lin Nian face to face. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, but they also showed nine points of restraint and did not hug or anything, because They all know that the current situation is not suitable for them to make some actions that may be misleading before fully speaking.

"Why are you back? Are the external activities of the executive department relaxed enough to allow the pillar elites to return to school and miss the old life?" Lin Nian saw his old friend with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. He and Ye Sheng and Yaji are able to talk, from the accidental acquaintance in Brooklyn, to the Kuimen Project and the Bronze Project, they have deepened their understanding of each other, and they both agree with each other from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's not bad to miss the elegant demeanor of the young school girls in school with their skirts flying (his expression tensed for no reason at this point, probably because he was stepped on where Lin Nian and others couldn't see), eight or eight And we actually came back from absenteeism in a strict sense." Ye Sheng shrugged, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Nian was safe and sound.

"It said inside, has the senior sister had breakfast?" Lin Nian motioned for them to come in, then turned and walked inside.

"I ate it. I ate two pork knuckles when I passed the cafeteria on the way. It still smells familiar, but it's a little cold. It should be left over from the previous night. It's a bit stale. So the taste is even more familiar." Ye Shengxin rejoiced. He crossed the threshold and entered the Norton Pavilion, followed by Jiu De Yaji. After entering, he did not forget to bow slightly to Chu Zihang and the cadre brothers who were watching the night to show his troubles.

Lin Nian led the two of them through the lobby area of ​​the Norton Pavilion to the deeper meeting room area, which was closer to the interior of the clubhouse on the first floor, and the sound insulation and privacy were also very good. Officers of the Lionheart Club resting in the guest room upstairs.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I have come to the Norton Hall." Ye Sheng looked up at the tall ceiling of the Norton Hall, on which were all murals left by the older generation of the Lionheart Society, depicting the gods and giants in Norse mythology and characters, in a style reminiscent of Castle Horchet or the Monastery of Acregusta.

When Jiude Yaji passed by one side of the stand, he was attracted by the wood carving on the stand. It was a wolf tooth. In addition to the murals, inlaid wood carvings on the walls, ceilings, doors and windows can also be seen everywhere. This artistic style is different. The traditional architectural styles of countries and regions are also different.

In German Gothic architecture, abstract images of flowers, animals and figures are often used, while in British Elizabethan architecture, classical geometric patterns and natural scenes are often used, but in the Norton Pavilion, these wood carvings and The murals on the ceiling are similar, and most of them are based on Norse mythology. For example, the wolf fangs that attract Jude Yaji are derived from the giant wolf in Norse mythology. It is said that when he opens his mouth, his upper and lower jaws can withstand the sky and the earth.

These wood carvings and murals imply that the mixed races have always believed that dragons are closely related to the myths and legends in the world. Art is a witness of history and culture, recording the customs, history and culture of ancient society, so the mixed races I am always willing to spend a lot of time admiring and studying them, hoping to break through the mysterious veil of dragon civilization from mythology.

"Is the bet on Freedom Day still the ownership of Norton Hall for a whole semester?" Ye Sheng asked.

"It has always been." Lin Nian said, "We have never exported it."

"This year's Lionheart Club has strong opponents, but fortunately, there is also a wise chairman and a strong enough right-hand man." Ye Sheng commented pertinently. He had a good impression of Chu Zihang. Judging from the conversation, Chu Zihang's cautious and polite response has gained a lot of points for him. Even if this kind of young man is directly put into the executive department and becomes a regular, he will probably become the trump card in a short time, right?
Sure enough, outstanding people are surrounded by such geniuses.

Ye Sheng glanced at the back of Lin Nian who was walking in front. The former pushed open the door of the conference room and invited them in for a talk.

Entering the conference room, the sky was still dimly lit outside the colored glass windows, so the indoor chandelier was lit by Chu Zihang who came in later. Lin Nian sat on a chair on one side of the conference room, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya Ji found a nearby seat and sat down.

"It's really been a while." Ye Sheng looked at Lin Nian for a while and then sighed, "Are you already a junior this year? I remember you were only a freshman when we first met."

"This kind of emotion as an opening statement gave me a sense of relief as a father seeing his child finally grow up." Lin Nian always has a sense of humor in front of friends.

"Then I apologize." Ye Sheng laughed without sincerity, "Maybe it's better for Yaji to say things like opening remarks?"

".My words might make the atmosphere too formal." Aki Shutoku smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Everyone is laughing, but everyone's eyes are not too relaxed.

"What does the absence from work mentioned by the senior mean? Does the executive department still allow the commissioner to be absent from work?"

Ye Sheng raised his head lightly, "Ah, of course it's not allowed, so after returning to school this time, he should be punished by the executive department, right? Maybe he will be assigned to a marginal and difficult place for a few months, or even half a year? Yaji and I are first-time offenders, so it shouldn't be too serious."

"It's not worth it." Lin Nian shook his head and said.

The conference room was quiet for a few seconds, Ye Sheng raised his hand and scratched his head, while Ya Ji who was beside him shook his head.

"Whether it's worth it or not." She said softly, "Philosophically speaking, whether a thing is worthwhile or not depends on the person's moral and ethical standards. Ye Sheng and I have never been high-minded people, so it's worth choosing When it’s not worth it, we only consider the domination of personal emotions, and we often ignore morality and ethics. We will always make some sacrifices in pursuit of some emotions, just because these emotions can give us peace of mind in the days to come.”

"The sacrifice is a bit too big. Coming back to this point means a lot, maybe more than you have considered. The current situation is very chaotic, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

Of course Lin Nian knew why Ye Sheng and Yaji came back here and came to the Norton Pavilion. There are some things that don’t need to be put on the table, just a meeting and a handshake can include all the thoughts in it.

That's why Lin Nian thinks it's not worth it. Ye Sheng and Yaji don't need to make such a trip. The two of them can't change too many things. On the contrary, it will stain their careers in the executive department and even in the secret party. After all, never underestimate the actions of those above when it comes to eliminating dissidents.

"It's an attitude, Lin Nian." Ye Sheng rested his right index finger on the lines of his lips and leaned his elbow on the conference table, "Yaji and I don't care if we can change anything by taking this trip, but at least We need to show our attitude first. Regardless of success or failure, attitude is the basis of action. If you do nothing because you can’t do anything, how is this different from acquiescing that the current general trend is correct? I Neither Yaji nor I can do this kind of thing."

"It's true," Lin Nian said in a low voice.

He could understand Ye Sheng's meaning, but he still felt that it was unnecessary. When his personal ability was not enough to influence the situation, he had to stand up for it with his own future. This kind of sacrifice was too great. As a friend, he I think this is extremely irrational, and I tend to reject it in my heart, but I can't say this rejection because it is an insult to this sincere attitude.

"How did you know the current situation in the school?" Chu Zihang, who had been standing silently in the corner, suddenly spoke.

"The night watchman forum, it's all about the hearing. The moderator of the night watchman forum should also be on your side. He didn't interfere with the heated discussions on related sensitive issues, which made the situation worse. It has been further escalated, and now almost everyone in the secret party knows that there is such a hearing about you to be held, and almost everyone inside and outside the school is paying attention to the current situation in the school." Jiude Yaji said softly.

"Where is the trend of public opinion?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It was fine before, but now." Jiude Yaji's voice fell.

"The investigation team has already begun to work hard, and has carried out many examples and demonstrations, outlining a violent, arbitrary, willful, and 'S' class student with an extremely unstable bloodline." Ye Sheng said slowly, "The direction of public opinion has begun to change. Now, many people who originally believed that this hearing was unreasonable have begun to lean toward neutrality and no longer easily stand on the sidelines. If the investigation team can have any other powerful arguments in the future, it is not impossible for public opinion to be completely biased."

"We came back because we saw what might happen." Aki Jiude looked at Lin Nian and said earnestly, "Dust mo accumulates もれば山となる, this sentence in my hometown means that dust can also accumulate Chengshan, the accumulation of small things will definitely turn into big things, I believe that the change of public opinion, the situation that the investigation team will benefit is very likely to happen, at that time you need a pertinent voice to be your support and rely on."

".You want to appear at the hearing?"

"It's not just an audit, if you need, we can be a witness and guarantee for you." Jiude Aki said seriously, "Lin Nian くん, you really don't have to think about what this will bring us, Because now that we are sitting here, it means that we are willing to bear all the consequences, which is a deliberate choice."

"The grace of saving life is one thing. We are not coming back this time to repay the grace of saving life." Ye Sheng propped his forehead with his left hand and looked at the silent Lin Nian with firm eyes. "It's just because of the grace of saving life, so We know what kind of person you are, whether you are worth what we do, Yaji and I are on your side this time, we still owe you a life, these are two different things."

Chu Zihang lowered his eyes slightly, Lin Nian exhaled silently, stood up from the chair, looked up at Ye Sheng with clear eyes, and stretched out his right hand.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng also stood up, held his right hand, and was not satisfied with it. He used half his strength to narrow the distance between the two, leaning shoulder to shoulder, and patted Lin Nian's face with his left hand. Back, "Many people think that standing in this team is a gamble. Although I don't want to get anything from this gamble, I am still willing to put my chips.

Brother, I bet you to win this time. "

Jiude Aki also stood up, bowed slightly to Lin Nian, gave him a warm and friendly hug, and said in Lin Nian's ear, "がんばって (ganbatte)."

"Just stay in the Norton hall temporarily. The hearing will be held tomorrow. You probably don't have any place to live tonight. You won't go to the Hall of Valor square to compete with the students for tents." Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang, and Chu Zihang also Nod in agreement.

"Does the Lion Heart Club still have many vacant guest rooms?" Ye Sheng asked with raised eyebrows.

Lin Nian looked at Ye Sheng, thought for a while, then glanced at Chu Zihang and said, "There are not many guest rooms left, there should be one left? Can you two make it?"

Jiude Yaji froze for a moment, then turned his head to avoid Lin Nian's sight, his face turned red.This made Lin Nian couldn't help but think that Japanese girls are open-minded, but as far as he saw the progress of the pair of seniors, he only felt that the innocent Japan in the anime still exists.

"If possible, I suggest that Lin Kun better make up some more guest rooms." Jiude Aki said in a low voice.

Lin Nian and Ye Sheng looked at each other, which probably means that you are really touched by betting on your brother to win, but brother really can't help you in this matter. You only blame yourself for not being up to date. You haven't settled for a match with yourself for so long. Girl, the qualifications of seniors are just crying.

But he actually forgot that he and Su Xiaoqiang also ran for three years before stumbling together.But it took less than a year to have a bed relationship. Maybe this is another kind of transcendence victory of the younger generation over the older generation?
Seeing Lin Nian's eyes and expression were a little weird, Jude Aki was taken aback and said quickly, "I didn't mean that. I mean, I don't think we are the only guests."

"What does it mean not to be the only guest?" Chu Zihang asked, but just as he asked, the door of the conference room next to him was knocked.

Chu Zihang opened the door, and found that it was the cadre brother who had guarded the door at night before. He leaned over to Chu Zihang and whispered a few words, his face was a little tangled and helpless. With a look of expectation, he said that he would handle it, and then asked the cadre to help Ye Sheng and Yaji handle the affairs of the temporary room.

"Have you arrived yet? It seems that we are not the only ones who are impatient." Ye Sheng smiled lowly, patted Lin Nian on the shoulder, and walked to the door of the conference room with Yaji without saying anything. After the two gestured, they led them out of the meeting room.

It wasn't until Ye Sheng and Yaji left that Lin Nian looked at Chu Zihang and said, "What does this mean?"

"You should have guessed it too." Chu Zihang turned around and walked outside the meeting room.

"." Lin Nian followed behind him, and after a long silence, he sighed softly.

They went all the way back to the gate of the Norton Pavilion, and when they walked into the lobby, they saw a woman wearing a white peaked cap and carrying a black backpack in one hand, who looked like a tourist checking in at a tourist attraction, looking up at the murals and Inlaid with wood carvings, the posture and expression are very leisurely, and he even has the intention to touch something like Sinan and shake it left and right.

Chu Zihang glanced at the other person's features. A large strand of black hair protruding from the back of the hat was covered with a little dust. It seemed that he was in a hurry so he didn't have time to wash and comb. He was wearing a brown leather jacket. With jeans and lady sandals, it doesn't look like a student in school, but a bit like a backpacker.

Lin Nian, who was approaching, just saw her side face, and knew that she was definitely not some backpacker who went wrong and sneaked into the Norton Pavilion for a visit. He rarely misidentified people, but when the other party appeared here, he had a kind of his own Acknowledging the feeling of being wrong.

"Professor Jiang Peijiu?" Lin Nian called out to the backpacker in the cap.

"Lin Nian? You are indeed here. The doorman just lied to me that you were not here." Jiang Peijiu turned his head to see Lin Nian, smiled, put away the small Sinan in his hand, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Acquaintance?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Acquaintance." Lin Nian nodded and greeted him.

"I didn't have time to wash my hair all the way back from Daxing'an Mountains. This is probably the worst time for my personal hygiene this year. But it's not as embarrassing as when I went to Shennongjia for half a month to fix Fengshui and find the dragon's cave the year before last. So generally speaking, it’s acceptable.” Jiang Peijiu hung her backpack casually on her back with her right hand, seeing that she really came back all the way from the dusty appearance, and basically didn’t stop, “I heard that the Norton Hall has a lot of vacancies. Is there a room for me to live in for a day or two?"

"It is true that there are still vacant guest rooms. Are you going to rest first and then find a place to chat for a while?" Lin Nian asked.

"What else are you talking about? Didn't the two fake partners in front of me who should have been married have finished chatting with you? I just want to eat something and sleep now. I shouldn't miss the hearing if I sleep now? "Jiang Peijiu looked sideways at Chu Zihang and raised his beautiful eyebrows.

"No. After a while, I will ask other members of the Lionheart Society to inform the cafeteria to make a breakfast and deliver it to your door." Chu Zihang nodded.

"That's right. That's why I said that I like young people. After all, what the young people are now, what the future will be like. It should be like that." Jiang Peijiu smiled, said nothing more, and walked towards direction of the stairs.

When she walked past Lin Nian, she seemed to think of something, looked back at Lin Nian and asked, "Oh, by the way, the room you prepared for those two little guys should be one room, right?"

"Is this important?" Lin Nian was not sure if this actually quite young professor was too persistent in holding the red line.

"It's very important, because they should only live in one room, and this will save you an extra room in the guild hall." Jiang Peijiu waved his hand and walked up the stairs, "You will use those rooms, and it won't take long."

Lin Nian understood what she meant, and so did Chu Zihang. The latter paused and looked at Jiang Peijiu's back and said slowly, "Is all this organized and planned?"

Standing in the middle of the stairs, Jiang Peijiu glanced back at the two young people below, and smiled helplessly, "Not everything is carefully planned, don't just be splashed with dog blood, and feel that the whole world will bark at you. The hearts of the people belong to only Dao and righteousness. Remember this truth. Then, class is over."

She stretched her waist with one hand, said no more, went upstairs to the room she deserved, leaving Lin Nian and Chu Zihang standing in the hall, looking at the half-open door of the Norton Pavilion in unison. The fog has gradually cleared, and Kassel Academy is shedding a ray of golden sunlight.
