Kamal came to Gao Wen’s study, but did not see Gao Wen’s figure. Only the seemingly dull little maid was waiting for herself in the study.

"Mr. Carmel," Betty saw Carmel pushing the door in and immediately holding a large teapot to meet. "The lord left a little, and he said he will be back soon, letting you wait a moment." ”

After thinking and precipitating on this road, Carmel’s mood has calmed down. He is somewhat grateful to hear Betty’s words. Before Gao Wen’s return, he can spend a few more minutes to adjust his mood and organize his own. Find.

"He said that he went there?" Carmel casually found a place to rest in the corner of the study, and asked casually.

"Master went to the lab, saying that there is a place on the drawing that is still uncertain. I have to test it again... um..." Betty tried very hard to remember what she heard from Gao Wen, "Test the 'data'! That word is like this."

“Data? Drawings?” Cameron was curious. “What is it about?”

Betty thought about it carefully, and looked up at her chest: "Forget it!"

Carmel silently - forget, not ignorant, which shows that Gao Wen must have accounted for this little maid, but she obviously did not remember ... but this is not surprising.

Kamal knows Betty. Although this little girl is just a maid, she is said to have been born and died with the lord. She is very trusted and loved by the lord's family. She always sees the little girl running around in the lord's house. Sometimes she will learn to write in the study with the lord, so a special little girl will certainly impress Kamal.

So Kamal knows Betty, not only knows her, but also knows some things about this little girl, such as knowing that she is a little bit, knowing that she likes to write, knowing that she always forgets things that are not well understood by her... Frankly speaking, Carmel is also very unable to understand how such an unreliable maid has become the maid of the entire lord's house, and can command several servants here...

It can only be said that the approachable lord is too loose on the servant in the government - but Kamal does not intend to make more comments on this, he is just a researcher, and rarely feels anything other than academic issues. interest.

During the waiting period, he began to study a map hanging on the wall of the study, which seems to be a topographic map of a fairly wide area around the territory. Its subtlety and detail is surprising, it is not like this technology. Betty stood by the side of the era of generations, holding a large teapot and looking at the guest thoughtfully, seems to be caught in a very entangled thinking.

After trying hard to think about it, Betty finally spoke up: "Mr. Carmel, do you want tea?"

Carmel snorted and turned to look at the serious little maid, swaying his hand slightly: "Oh, no, thank you."

Betty blinked and took the teapot back to the table: "Oh."

But after a while, she came forward again: "Mr. Carmel, do you want tea?"

Kamal: "... really no, thank you little girl."

"……Oh."

After a little while, Betty’s voice rang for the third time behind Carmel: “Mr. Carmel, do you want tea?”

Carmel finally felt that he couldn't continue to study the map. He turned and tried to cover up his embarrassment with the utmost effort: "Little girl, have you not found that I have no mouth?"

Betty seems to have finally figured something out, she suddenly realized "oh", and then a little lost to put the teapot on the desk: "Oh..."

Looking at this little girl, Kamal suddenly couldn't help but want to say something, but hesitated for a long time, he only said a dry sentence: "But still thank you very much... tea."

"The lord said that to entertain guests, remember to go to tea," Betty looked very depressed. "But I always feel that I am not doing well..."

"You have worked hard... my situation is too special. I don't think any maid probably knows how to entertain a 'guest' like me." Carmel didn't know why he was with a little maid. Having said so much, but he couldn’t help but say, "How long have you been serving Cecil?"

Betty has calculated this carefully this time - she has never been able to count the years before, but now she knows how to count and wants to understand a lot of things she didn't want to understand before: "Six years, but the first two years are just Washing the dishes for Mrs. Hansen..."

She is now only sixteen years old...that is, when she was ten years old, she was sold as a servant to the castle? Washing dishes for girls?

Kamal knows that he has no reason to continue to ask, but he still can't help but say: "Do you like to live like this?"

"...I don't know," Betty apparently didn't think about it. She replied before answering. "But Miss Rebecca and the old prince are very good to me, and Mrs. Hert, and the lord, they are all right. I am very good. And when I was young, my family and I were always hungry. Since I entered the castle, we can all have enough food..."

It took Camere a few seconds to understand the truth of this period - nothing more than because Betty had a minimum servant's ration in the castle, and her family not only sold the money back, but also lost one. The mouth of the meal is gone.

This is the way for the bottom class in this era to survive under the guise of nowhere, and even this requires some luck to achieve - because not always the lord needs to buy a servant.

This is something that people of this era have become common sense. However, for Carmel, who came to this era from the heyday of the Gangster Empire, there are so many unimaginable periods during this period.

However, he could not change the status quo of the whole era. A thousand words eventually gathered together into a feeling: "It is a cruel era."

"Master said so," Betty suddenly said, but I don't understand what he meant.

"Do the Lord say that?"

"Yes, the lord said that this era is very cruel, and said that it is necessary to build a new order..." Betty recalled hard. "In short, it is a very complicated thing. I heard him say to Miss Rebecca and Mrs. Herti. ""

"It turns out that..." Carmel listened silently and whispered. "This is also normal. He is a man who has experienced that glorious era and must not endure the ignorance and darkness of the present."

Betty looked at Carmel slyly. She didn't quite understand the meaning of the other words. Camel looked down at Betty and suddenly realized why she couldn't help but say so much to this little girl.

"I used to have a younger sister... ah, it doesn't look like you, but when I saw her last time, she was about the same size as you," the ancient magician said quietly. "She was... I really like to make tea for me."

Betty blinked: "Your sister is also a big magician?"

"...No, she doesn't have magical talent, just an ordinary person, and she died of illness before she became an adult," Carmel said in a very light tone. "If not, I may not leave the capital." Become a member of the 'hiccup' program."

Betty bowed her head: "Hey..."

"It's all in the past," Carmel lowered his head and tried to touch Betty's hair. However, before his "palm" filled with arcane energy touched the latter, there was already a little bit of arcane. The spark jumped around Betty's hair. Seeing this scene, the ancient Magister slowly took back his hand and made a sigh, "Oh..."

Betty felt itchy on the scalp and couldn't help but scratch her hair, but when she looked up, she found that Carmel had drifted somewhere else: the conversation was over.

The little maid didn't know what was going on and had to go back to the desk and continue to be in a daze.

Soon after, the door of the study was pushed open. Gao Wen took a roll of drawings and returned to the room. He saw Kameier who seemed to be studying the bookshelf, and Betty, who was standing at the desk and walking around the sky, could not help but smile. Get up: "Is waiting for impatient?"

Carmel turned and waved to Gao Wen: "No, I was chatting with the little girl just now, not boring."

Betty took the big teapot and ran to Gao Wen: "Master, Mr. Carmel doesn't drink tea! He said he has no mouth..."

"Cough, know that I know," Gao Wen touched Betty's head a little bit, and let the little girl retreat first. "Go back to rest. I don't need anyone here."

"Ok!"

Betty ran out, leaving Gao Wen looking at Carmel with a look: "This kid sometimes speaks awkwardly..."

"It doesn't matter, I didn't care, she was a very cute girl," Kamal said faintly. "Lord, I have something to report to you."

The high text is preparing for Camel to look at his artillery design ideas. At this moment, I heard a message: "Oh? What?"

"It's about those distortions," Kammer's look could not be understood, but his tone was full of seriousness at the moment. "I think... I know where they come from."

"Do you understand the origins of the distortion?" Gao Wen's expression was so serious that he immediately walked to the desk, and the data sheets in his hand were laid down. "Where did they come from?"

"We made it," Carmel said slowly, "the product of the rebellious plan."

"..."

Gao Wen was silent, and he didn’t speak for almost ten seconds. Even when Carmel felt a little uneasy, he smiled and shook his head silently: “It’s such an answer...”

“Have you expected?”

"A guess is all right," Gao Wen said with a sigh of relief. "After knowing your disobedience plan, I had a guess in this regard based on the information I had when I rushed out of the wasteland, but I didn't expect... The situation is really the same as I thought. Let's talk about it, how did you find out?"

"Miss Tyre gave me a sample of the distortion, a clean sample that can be analyzed by magic after eliminating the chaotic magic. I found signs of ii-type genetic variation in this book, and this variation... The characteristics of the 'God' that we created at the beginning."

"Sit down," Gao Wen sighed, sitting behind the desk and pointing to a chair next to him. "We might have to talk about it."
