Even though that older sister always looks unkempt at home in the community, she looks like a tech nerd. But she doesn't need to sleep, so she won't cuddle up with the quilt in bed until midnight. Every morning at breakfast time, she would always come to the dining room and have a simple breakfast with everyone, even if she didn't need to eat.
But this morning, there was no sign of that beautiful lady.
Lin didn't have many rules at the dinner table. At most, he just didn't waste food. In the past, Hallumi always liked to talk about trivial things in daily life during this breakfast time.
It seems that I have grown a little taller, and when I was walking my dog, I went to a ravine and saw a family of wild deer; this is usually paired with smoked venison on the table. Or maybe it was some interesting stories I heard from the wife of Najib, the chamber manager.
A girl with black hair, brown skin, and double braids would occasionally interrupt to add some new information they heard from the forum, and a group of people would then discuss the meaning behind these messages. This is what Lin constantly warned and taught the two girls, that is, you should not believe other people's one-sided words about anything, but should piece together the truth from other people's news before making a judgement.
But this morning, all three remained silent.
The two girls are not teachers within the Chengguo Eton College system, so Lin will not take them to work unless it is absolutely necessary and there is not a huge shortage of manpower around them. Even if there is a real shortage, there is enough free labor in the college now, and it is better to just take a job than to let your own apprentices work for free.
Since last year, the two girls have mostly stayed at home in the community, assisting their sister in their research, or accumulating the knowledge and power they need to advance to become official magicians. Of course, some of the cleaning work in the community's homes, as well as the work of walking the two big dogs, also fell on them. Then go to the college to run the cafe in the afternoon and return home before dinner.
Therefore, Lin still works alone today.
The troubles in the academy remain the same. Except for Lin, the magicians who want to help are unable to do so. Even the great magician, who was born in Leon District, could only get respect in Xijia District, but he could not help the dilemma faced by the college.
Most magicians choose not to interfere in the running of the academy. But another small group of people are blatantly trying to hold back. However, Lin couldn't be ruthless because from the beginning, Lin did not require everyone to advance and retreat together. It was just a pure employment relationship. Now it is indeed his fault that he cannot fulfill his promise in the contract.
He once wanted to communicate with the president to see if he could solve the current dilemma. However, the old president who is seriously ill does not receive guests outside of his relatives. In other words, apart from his only first wife and his sister-in-law, the only people who can see the president, Chengguo Yiton, are his students. In addition, even those colleagues in the Fourteen-member Council could not see each other.
This kind of attitude can also explain one thing from the side, that is, the old president has been sleeping more often and less awake.
Therefore, during this period of time, not only was the college having a very difficult time, the atmosphere in the entire Wulian City was a bit strange and unclear. However, no one dared to openly discuss the issue of the next president. After all, Chengguo Eaton had been accumulating power for a long time, and no one dared to make any overstep while he was still breathing.
The dying great magician killed all the enemies who came to visit him in one fell swoop. This happened more than once or twice. This is also the biggest reason why no one outside of the family dares to get close to the magician who is on his final journey.
Who knows whether the person lying on the bed was confused and killed everyone around him, or whether he was really smart and killed the enemy who came to determine his life and death.
There are such doubts because it has happened many times. Some casual friends came to visit at this time, but were killed as a result, and the two families became enemies.
For the family members of a seriously ill person, it is gratifying to get rid of the enemy, but it is unwise to form an enemy because of it. Therefore, the family members simply unified the standards, and this kind of unsuitable time to visit the doctor was not allowed to visit anyone except relatives. Sometimes even the more distant students are prohibited from approaching their teachers. Anyway, it's not these people's turn to distribute the inheritance, so what's the purpose of risking their lives to come forward.
The uncertainty of the president's issue was also the reason why when Lin wanted to find a solution to the Chamber of Commerce's problem from the contacts he had cultivated recently, most people did not dare to express it fully. If the friendship is not as deep as someone thinks, maybe you will be sent off as soon as you come to the door. In fact, even if these people tried their best, they could not improve the hostility from the Chamber of Commerce.
It was another day of accomplishing nothing. Lin's many comments on the forum and many letters sent to the mail system failed to receive a friendly response. He dragged his tired body back to his home in the community, but the elder sister seemed to be fine, sitting in the dining room, chatting with two girls who were busy in and out of the kitchen.
"I'm home."
"Yes, I'm back."
Although the tone and expression were the same as before, the only conversation between Lin and Fen was this sentence. Another night of silence followed.
The following days were like being stuck in the quagmire of life, with repeated setbacks. And the former Demon King would stay out overnight from time to time, sometimes even for several days in a row.
Faced with this situation, Lin just sighed deeply when no one was around. He had expected that something like this would happen. I originally thought I was ready, but when I actually encountered it, I realized that I was not as open-minded and let-go as I imagined.
But what can I do? I can't beat that lich even if I fight, scolding? There is no point in scolding you if you win. In fact, Lin was baffled as to why such a good woman would be by his side.
Well, maybe knowledge from Earth will be an inducement. But now, whether it’s mathematics or programming, I have to ask her for advice. It can be said that he has no use value anymore, so it seems reasonable for that person to choose to leave.
Staring blankly at the starry sky outside the window, Lin knew that he had maintained this state for a long time.
Later, I looked back and was able to return my mind to observing the stars. Nowadays, the tofu brain has become a ball, and there is no way to think at all. Even the twinkling stars made him feel dazzled.
Suddenly a song melody from the earth sounded in his mind. I still remember hearing it when I was young and thinking it was a beautiful song.
That's Nick Cheung's 'Love Is Like Tide'. Maybe the artistic conception of the song is not completely in line with my situation, and the last lyric is something I don't want to admit, but I can't fool myself that the sad feeling doesn't exist.
While the man in the attic was sighing and groaning, the two girls gathered in Kaya's room were establishing contact with their elder sister who was not at home.
The Lich had already developed the initial version of the software that could be used for real-time communication. Although it was also given to the man who never read his emails, rarely went to forums, and was wary of the functions of this software. But his style is the same as before, he doesn't like to stare at these things all the time.
According to someone, I just want to go and see it again. But things often happen that we don’t expect for months on end. Therefore, for this set of real-time messaging software that has not yet been named and is not intended to be made public, even if there are only four users, that piece of shit will usually not be read and certainly not replied to.
'If you have anything to say, please tell me in person. 'This is what the person said after accepting the software.
So now, the only ones who will use this real-time communication are the two children, one person, and three close friends.
The lich who stayed out overnight was sending a message to Kaya through this software: 'How are you teachers? '
Because this software only implements the most basic functions, the textures and groups have not been completed yet. So now the two girls are face to face, crowded in front of a water mirror screen, communicating with the person on the other side of the software. As for her sister's question, Kaya didn't even think about it and quickly typed back: 'It's not good at all. '
'What's wrong? '
'When he went downstairs today, he almost rolled down the stairs. If I hadn't tightened the handrail in time, I might have fallen all the way from the third floor to the first floor. '
'It's so miserable. hehe. '
'anything else. This is from Haloumi. ''Teacher, he keeps bumping into cabinets when walking recently, or kicking the legs of tables or chairs. I almost moved all the furniture in the room once. Completely absent-minded. '
'Oh, that sounds bad. '
'Yeah, it looks like the symptoms are worse than the one a few months ago. '
'He didn't say anything? '
'No. That sultry man just held it in. It made me feel uncomfortable. Can you beat him? '
'Haha, if you can win, just fight. '
'Can't win. This is from Kaya. ''Halumi went to the side and drew circles. ''Well, sister, when will you come back? '
'I'll be back tomorrow morning. '
'You know that's not what I'm asking. '
After Kaya sent this text, it was immediately displayed as a 'read' message, but she received no response. The two girls looked at each other, and then wanted to send another message, when they got the reply message:
'This is a rare opportunity. I will go out to play and then go back. What's more, there are turbulent undercurrents outside now, and my current status is just right to investigate this matter. You don't have to worry anymore. '
'knew. '
The last message showed 'read', but the sister opposite didn't reply. After waiting for a while, Kaya interrupted the communication connection. She and Halumi rushed to the stairs leading to the attic, stretched their necks and looked at the attic room.
It's not that they don't understand the situation of their teachers. But until someone asks for help, they don't know where to start.
Let me emphasize again, it means 'don't know', not inaction because of concerns about someone's face. They didn't care about the latter. After all, the two girls didn't know how to play this kind of adult game; and the former Demon King was used to using one force to defeat ten people, and beat whoever came forward to solve the problem.
If you kill someone, you may be able to kill another person, but it is more likely that you will just kill another "Devil King". So they can only wait and wait for the man to make a decision, no matter what that decision will be.
