Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 4 Understanding
Ms. Langsha's class is very relaxed. Different from her meticulous appearance and grooming, Ms. Langsha can always give examples in class, mentioning small things in life to reflect the influence of history, and introducing the customs of different places is also very interesting. She even throws in a few jokes to lighten up the class.

After the morning class, Ms. Langsha checked Esther's dictation of some words according to the agreement. To her surprise, Esther's learning ability was not like that of a beginner at all.

"Have you really never touched writing before?"

Esther scratched her head and said frankly, "To be honest, I don't remember."

"do not remember?"

"Yes, I suddenly found myself on Iron Cross Street...Fortunately, Granny Wendy from 'Slim Bakery' was willing to take me in, so I wouldn't end up living on the streets."

Ms. Langsha frowned. She seemed to be thinking about something. After a few seconds, she comforted Esther and smiled: "It's okay. If you want to come, you can attend my Sunday class. If you encounter any difficulties , You can also tell me or Pastor Lost, we are all willing to help people in need."

"Thank you! Then can I stay here to read at noon?"

"Don't you need something to eat?"

Esther hesitated. "I have to save. There's no way. I don't have a salary right now, and I can't afford the luxury of going to those cafes to eat good food. I'll remember to bring bread next time."

Ms. Langsha looked at Esther again, her eyes stayed on the girl's still immature face, and she sighed: "It's okay, I can give you a piece of my sandwich."

"This, what a shame..."

Ms. Langsha's smile is very sly: "No, in the words of my grandfather, this is called 'investment'. Esther is a very talented child, and she will definitely make a difference in the future."

Esther also laughed. She felt Ms. Langsha's kindness: "Then when I come next week, bring a snack for Ms. Langsha."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Esther had a very good impression of Ms. Langsha. At first, she was a little in awe of the teacher, but this barrier between exchanges was actively broken by Ms. Langsha.Especially after eating the sandwich with mayonnaise and cheese sausage, Esther's eyes became extraordinarily bright when she looked at Ms. Langsha.

Although the taste is far inferior to the various foods in memory, this is the first time Esther has eaten such delicious food since she came to this world.

She suddenly gained the happiness brought by delicious food!
Perhaps this is also a way of thinking. I can try to find out the cooking method of the food in my memory, and let Grandma Wendy launch it in the bakery as a new product, which will definitely attract more customers.

Langsha looked up at Esther. It was only half a sandwich. The girl ate so happily that she giggled.This made Ronsha shake her head amusedly, then took the other two vocabulary books from the shelf and put them on Esther's desk.

"You can try to see these after you finish eating."

"No problem!" Esther replied energetically.

Langsha was quite emotional, this is really a cute, smart and studious boy, but for those doubts before, it is best to remind the local night guards to pay attention to whether there is any abnormality in Xiatie Cross Street.

In the afternoon class, Langsha led the students to read a section of the Dark Night Scripture, and Esther recited along with her indifferently. Then, when Langsha explained word by word, Esther quickly understood and memorized the meaning of those words. Meaning, including grammatical changes therein.

This is not difficult for Esther now. It feels like a decryption game. She can clearly feel that the world of words has opened up to her. Such an amazing learning ability even makes Esther doubt herself.

At least Esther can be sure that in her memory, she is not such a genius who learned a language in a day, otherwise she would have been the number one in the college entrance examination.

After today's class ended, Esther stayed in the classroom for a long time.

She finally couldn't hold back, and asked a question to Ms. Langsha who was packing up her things and preparing to leave.

"World history before year zero? Do you mean the Quaternary?"

The world does have older epochs!

Esther confirmed her hazy intuition, and asked: "Then is there another era before the Quaternary?"

Ms. Langsha hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "However, we know very little about those eras. Most of the remaining history is spread in the form of myths, and there is no conclusive and unified historical theory. You are still new to these, I do not recommend you It will waste a lot of your time to explore such empty content."

Esther nodded in frustration, but soon cheered up: "Then are there any books about the Fourth Epoch?"

"In fact, there are different opinions on the history of the Quaternary Era, and there are very few written records. Only many buildings can glimpse the prosperity of that era. The Quaternary Era is more than 1000 years old. Our small classroom is not It will store such important historical data.”

Esther nodded, the world here is much more complicated than she expected.

Ms. Langsha appreciated such curiosity and did not show any impatience: "Do you have any questions? You seem to be very interested in this aspect. If you want to learn by yourself, I can recommend two history books to you, waiting for you If you are proficient in reading, you can understand it yourself. You can borrow it in the library.”

Esther happily wrote down the title of the book that Ms. Langsha said, and left the Church of Evernight feeling very fulfilled.

The street outside was dimly illuminated by the setting sun, and Esther realized the hunger in her belly at this time. She was too immersed in the satisfaction of gaining knowledge, and she didn't feel it at all before.

Esther wasn't going to spend money on a stagecoach, and she walked down the street when it was nearly dark.In order not to cause trouble for Wendy, Esther bought a clam chowder with garlic breadsticks from the stall at the end of Iron Cross Street.

The soup is very light, with chopped parsley floating in the noodles, almost no other seasonings, only the salty taste of the clams, and the bread sticks will be very choking if you don't dip it in the soup.This portion is actually not enough, but Esther is very happy to have a change. She enjoys anything she can enjoy. Simple food and complex knowledge can make her feel simple happiness.

Esther sat on the bench at the entrance of the shop, leisurely finishing the sixpence dinner, but just as she was about to finish eating, the girl who was alone attracted extra attention.

There were only a few people in the store, and Esther's appearance was too eye-catching even though she was wearing the linen skirts that filled the street, not to mention her joyful and soft expression when she was enjoying the food.She had already noticed those strange eyes patrolling her back and forth, and because she didn't want to cause trouble, Esther simply pretended not to know.

But the person on the opposite side didn't have such good concentration, and soon a man sat on the bench next to Esther, bringing a pungent smell of alcohol, and he smiled maliciously: "You know This is the point, this is not a place for good girls to stay. How about it, you are quite struggling with your outfit, are you interested in doing some business?"

Esther glanced back at the store suspiciously. This is an ordinary restaurant. What kind of business can there be?
Then Esther saw the man make an obscene gesture with his right hand towards his lower body.

Esther stared at the man's unshaven face, smiled and said, "This hand will be broken."

This hand of a man will be broken.

Esther just stated what she was convinced of. Even she herself was not sure what the source of this confidence was, but she knew it would happen.

And the man heard another meaning from these words: "How dare a bitch like you threaten me?"

After the man finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and was about to grab Esther's neck. Esther suddenly stood up from the bench, narrowly and narrowly out of the range of the man's palm.But before the man also stood up from the bench, there was a loud cracking sound from inside the shop, and then a kitchen knife flew out of it, quickly chopped off the man's right hand, and then stably cut into it. Esther sat on the bench just now.

If Esther hadn't got up just now, her leg might be broken at this time.

Blood spattered from the man's severed wrist, spilling everywhere in front of the store. Esther stuffed the last bite of garlic bread into her mouth, walked around the crying man covering his arms, and stacked the empty soup bowls on the floor. On the dish to be washed on the counter, she kept a calm expression, as if she hadn't seen the couple arguing in the store, she just left the store.

She also carefully avoided the bloodstains on the ground, leaving bloody footprints would bring trouble to Wendy.

Something squirmed in Esther's heart pocket. After listening carefully, Esther replied to the little bug's words: "That's just his bad luck, what does it have to do with me?"

"Extraordinary power? I'm not sure what you're referring to, if that's the case with stealing talents and deceiving talents."

"Yeah, I've felt it a long time ago. Otherwise, why would Wendy and Fiona trust me and accept me so quickly? Isn't this another fairy tale world, this is..."

This is a world full of weirdness that makes me uncomfortable, especially the crimson moon in the sky, it is disgusting to look at, and I really hope it will disappear quickly and return to its original state.Esther thought so, not realizing how strange the thought was.

"What am I, you ask?" Esther blinked, puzzled by the question, "I'm just an ordinary person. Well, maybe something special, but it's just an ordinary 'person'. Otherwise?"

The little bug sneered.

Esther wanted to ridicule back, but her intuition told her that there would be no result, but more ridicule, so she silently endured the little bug's malice.

It's obviously just a bug, so why are you so arrogant?

Esther, who has been on the ground for several days and has not yet had an accurate understanding of the world, still has such naive thoughts at this time.
