The next day, on the huge carriage returning to Barton College, Cody looked helplessly at the Solo brothers who were leaning against the walls of the carriage and had not yet woken up. Last night's indulgence was probably the first time in the lives of these two people. Originally, they had been worried about whether Kofi would retaliate afterwards, but after Moses came, they no longer had any worries. Although this senior was not very reliable, he would not. Harm yourself. After the drunken Moses toasted again and again, the restrained brothers gradually relaxed and not only accepted everyone who came, but also took the initiative to approach Kofi for a drink. However, the two of them drank like that, especially tonight they drank not beer, but quite strong brandy. They were soon vomiting with their tongues slurring, and they almost became brothers with Kofi on the spot.
Moses, who was originally clamoring to punish Cody and the other two for going dancing in the hall, drank a lot of wine somewhere before he came, and now that he had drank a glass of wine, he no longer remembered the dance when he mentioned it again. This was supposed to be a show for Cody and the three of them. He shouted while taking off his clothes and wanted to go outside. He wanted to show off in the lobby. Fortunately, Cody and Coffey were still sensible and caught him in time, otherwise they would definitely Famous in Bol City.
Although Cody drank less, he had no memory of where he went after the banquet. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. He quickly helped the two brothers out of the residence where they didn't know where they were. They stopped a carriage soliciting passengers on the road. Go back to the place where you got off the bus last night according to your memory. Fortunately, Carruth was thoughtful and didn't tell them where they met last night. He picked up Monlu's family and returned to the same place in the morning, otherwise Cody and the other three would not have been able to find them.
In addition to the soldiers of the Third Legion who escorted the Monru family, there were also mentor Jaka and dozens of guards who had previously taken Cody and the three to Barton College. Jacka looked at the three people who smelled of alcohol with some dissatisfaction, motioned for them to get in the car quickly, then said a few polite words to Carruth, and left under the escort of the college guards.
As the carriage rocked, Cody, who was still drunk, fell asleep on the carriage, and when he woke up, he was already outside the gate of the college. The academy has regulations that all carriages and horses enter stationary, but today is a special situation. After Jieka verified the situation with the guards outside, only one person was left to drive the carriage, and everyone who was originally guarding the carriage dispersed.
Jacka smelled the smell of alcohol that he had never liked, and said to Cody: "I want to send them to see the dean first. How do you arrange it?"
Cody looked at Zoro and Jet who had not yet woken up and had a headache, and said helplessly: "We will get off the bus here, let's take them back to the dormitory first."
"Well, let's go down. Cody, it's not my fault. Although you are a disciple of Master Gan, your future achievements are absolutely unimaginable, but now is not the time to enjoy yourself. There is nothing for nothing in this world. If you don't focus on When it comes to study, no matter how good your talent is, it won't help. If you waste your talent, you will only be sorry for yourself and Master Gan. Master Gan, who has not accepted any more disciples for decades, will accept you after a short period of contact with you. As a disciple, I definitely don't just want you to compete with Master Sfulin, but I really value your future. Think about it for yourself, and these two guys, they are both good prospects, they shouldn't be now It started to stop growing. I was young too, but love affairs can still wait a few more years."
Cody looked at Jacka awkwardly, not knowing how to explain that he was just drinking. He could only say seriously: "I remember mentor Jacka, and I will correct it."
In fact, at the beginning, Cody simply thought that Master Gan accepted him as his disciple just to compete with Master Sfulin. However, after two years of getting along, I also found that this is not the case. Although Master Gan is taciturn, he really has no reservations in teaching himself and does his best. Some of the questions he raises, even if they are things that he feels there is no need to pay attention to, will be answered. Patient teaching, in fact, the frequent competitions with Garcia are more to let myself feel the pressure and work hard to improve. But for the Solo brothers, Jacka was really wrong. In the past two years, these two people have only indulged themselves this time. In addition to eating, drinking and practicing, including practicing martial arts with Cody, they dragged themselves out of exhaustion. Even when my body returns home, I don’t miss the time to meditate.
Jacka left, and Cody had a headache as he looked around at the two people hanging on his shoulders like dead dogs. Although it was not far from the dormitory, no matter how good his physical condition was, he still had to drag two puddles of mud and a pile of luggage. , it is also very difficult to climb up to the fourth floor. I don't dare to send them back one by one. Although it's not the end of the year yet, the weather has started to get colder. If one of them is left here first, he will definitely get sick. Drunk people are the weakest. Damn it, it's really hard to meet other people in this academy except when eating, and it's hard to find someone to help. Cursing, Cody stopped every step and walked hard towards the dormitory.
After finally arriving at the dormitory, Cody threw the two of them on the bed, and he lay down on it panting heavily. The two of them, who were usually skinny and frail, ended up weighing more than pigs when they were drunk. Only then did Cody see that there was a pink silk scarf hanging around the neck of Jett who was lying down. It was obviously a woman's thing. It must have been accidentally left behind by the waitress when she helped Jett go out yesterday. Now she knew that Jett had just been Why did he say that inexplicable sentence to himself at the end? He was really tricked by this guy.
After a brief rest, Cody stood up, took off his clothes that smelled of alcohol, and put on a blue robe. Now that I'm back, I'd better report to the teacher. Although Cody doesn't like to practice, he still respects Master Gan, the teacher who pulled him out of the War College and taught him carefully.
I took a leisurely walk, holding a piece of bread left in my luggage in my hand and munching as I walked. I ate a lot last night, but I couldn't stand it anymore and I was still hungry. I didn't eat anything in the morning. After finishing the bread, we arrived at Master Gan's attic. He pushed the door open skillfully and went in. He saw the housekeeper directing several servants to clean the house with his hands behind his back.
"Butler Gifford, is the teacher here?" Cody shouted to Gifford.
When Jifu heard the familiar voice, he turned around and regained his original cold expression, and chuckled: "Cody is back, but you came at the wrong time. Master Gan was called away by the dean in the morning. I don't know when he will come back. How can I come back?" No, just come back tomorrow."
"That's it, it's okay. I'll go upstairs to read and wait for the teacher to get ready." He went upstairs.
Jifu nodded and smiled as he looked at Cody's back as he went upstairs. This young man really satisfied Master Gan. Not only could he come and go freely here, but he could also play around with the study upstairs. You must know that many of the books in the study have been collected by Master Gan for many years. Apart from the magic props, these books are the most important. Besides the dean and Master Sfulin, Cody is the second person who can enter at will. I hope this kid can be more upbeat and not be like that bastard who chilled Master Gan's heart for decades.
Cody rummaged around in the study room, saying he came here to read a book, but was he a person who could read books attentively? They were all biographies, which were not interesting at all, and he felt sleepy after just a few glances. But I really didn't sleep well. Thinking about Cody, I took out a book and lay down on the sofa. Before I finished reading a few lines, the book covered my face and started to snore.
I don’t know how long I slept, but in my dream I was always drinking with Moses, and those accompanying girls with only a few pieces of gauze-like cloth hanging on their bodies. I remember that I didn’t see these escorts in Jinshan Julong. I don’t know why I dreamed about the wine girl.
Cody opened the book on his face, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, then stretched and sat up. The remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately. He stood up with a straight back. I don't know when he will come back. Master Gan, who was holding a book, said, "Teacher, when did you come back?"
Master Gan put down the book and glanced at the saliva marks on the book that Cody had pushed aside. His brows twitched and he asked, "I haven't been back long, what can I do for you?"
Cody quickly picked up the book, wiped the traces of saliva in vain, put it back to its original position, and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, I just came to tell you that I'm back."
"Well." Master Gan also put down the book in his hand, "You haven't eaten yet."
Gulu.
Cody's stomach had already answered for him, and the look of embarrassment on his face suddenly grew stronger.
Master Gan waved his hand to Jifu behind him. Jifu, who had been following Master Gan for decades, understood what he meant and couldn't help but think more highly of Cody. He slept in the study and drooled on it, so Master Gan didn't get angry and let himself prepare the meal. It seems that Master Gan really cares about this disciple, even if he has never seen it before that bastard.
Soon, Gifford brought the food up on a tray and placed it in front of Cody. Cody couldn't help but start to move because of his stomach reaction. He stopped and said to Master Gan who was reading a book again: "Teacher, have you eaten?"
Master Gan's eyes did not leave the book, and he said calmly: "You have eaten, please eat quickly."
This time Cody was not polite. This was not the first time he had dinner with Master Gan. He was not restrained and wolfed down his food, but he still restrained himself a little to prevent the leftovers from falling on the table. Master Gan didn't like messes very much. After finishing it quickly, Cody burped and said sheepishly: "I'm full."
Jifu quickly put away the tableware and wiped the table before leaving.
Cody felt that Jifu was still very hard-working. As a housekeeper, he obviously had servants, but he still handled matters in the study and took care of Master Gan himself and did not allow servants to interfere.
Master Gan put down the book in his hand this time, looked at Cody and said, "Do you know what the dean wants from me?"
Cody shook his head, how could I know what the dean wanted to do with you? He didn't tell me, and he just returned to the academy and didn't cause any trouble.
"Because the orcs you brought back, the news they brought is very important. It is so important that not only Barton College, but also the magic academies of the other two empires and another place have received news about the orcs." Master Gan continued.
'But what does this have to do with me? I'm looking for you, not me. I just suggested that Uncle Xiniya report his situation to the legion commander and the city lord. ' Cody thought to himself. It seems that this matter is really important, and even other places know about it. I couldn't help the curiosity in my heart and asked cautiously: "Teacher, what is so important? I have asked Brother Menglu many times, even that orc, but he won't tell me."
Master Gan stared at Cody and said, "You really don't know?"
Cody shook his head, if I knew, why would I ask you.
"Did he show you an animal skin as something to prove himself?"
Cody nodded this time, he did read it, but it was all in ancient writing, and he couldn't understand a single word. He only recognized the pattern mark.
"Then why do you still say you don't know? The basic things are recorded on it." Master Gan looked serious, with a bit of displeasure in his tone.
I don't know why Master Gan was suddenly angry. Cody said aggrievedly: "I saw it, but I only know the mark on it. The rest are all ancient characters, which I can't understand."
Master Gan was a little confused, "You really can't understand?"
"I really don't understand." Cody nodded and confirmed.
"I don't see what you are doing with that ancient Chinese book?" Master Gan raised his voice this time, his anger even more obvious.
Cody was stunned. He turned around and found the book on the bookshelf. It was not a book edited by ancient Chinese writers. No wonder I was so dazzled by the sight that I fell asleep soon after. Looking at Master Gan awkwardly, he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he just wanted to find a book and sleep.
After blowing his beard and staring for a while, Master Gan waved to Cody angrily and said: "Go ahead, go ahead, don't bother me anymore, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, it will save you trouble."
Cody ignored Master Gan because he didn't understand what he was saving. If he was granted amnesty, he quickly got up and left. Only when he reached the door did he hear Master Gan say again: "Wait a minute." He felt helpless in his heart. Turn around.
Master Gan stood up and searched on the bookshelf, took out a book and threw it to Cody, saying: "When you go back, study ancient Chinese for me, especially in the future. There are some things that you won't be able to understand if you don't understand ancient Chinese. If you don't pay attention this time, Be careful, I'll deal with you. Get out."
After Master Gan finished speaking, Cody hurriedly left holding the book in his hand with a face on his face. How could he learn this crappy thing like a ghost painting, and what's the use of learning it.
Jifu, who returned to the second floor, heard Master Gan's angry voice and thought that Cody had caused trouble, so he went to the study room. He saw Cody leaving with a book in his arms and a look on his face like a bitter gourd. He knew immediately that he must have been forced to read by Master Gan again. This child was good at everything, but he didn't like to study. You must know that Master Gan's books are treasures.
