Luo Wei wanted to stop Athena, but she didn't have the ability.

The original owner has no relatives here, has not made any friends, and does not have much money. It can be said that it is difficult to move forward.

She didn't know who Athena had sent to investigate her, and she didn't know what that person would find. This feeling of waiting for the verdict was really new.

However, Luo Wei thought about it from Athena's perspective and could probably guess where that person had gone.

The original owner filled out a registration form when registering, which contained her basic information.

Thanks to the fact that this school treats nobles and commoners equally, it is not mandatory to state your identity and address when registering.

The original owner wrote very vaguely. She only wrote the general location of the fishing village, which was the "North Sea Coast."

Even if that person goes to the North Sea, there are so many cities and villages on the seaside, and he may not be able to find a fishing village.

Besides, when the original owner left, everyone in the village was killed by pirates, and the fishing village was burned down by pirates. She was the only one who escaped. What would happen if he found her?

Death has no evidence.

The only thing she worries about now is the knights who rescued her and funded her schooling. Only they know her true identity.

Near the end of get out of class, Phil assigned a homework. He asked everyone to use these spices to prepare a fragrant recipe and submit it in the next class.

Luo Wei thought it was outrageous. She used cooking spices to prepare a fragrant recipe. Aren't you afraid of marinating yourself in the smell?

But none of her classmates raised any objections to this, so she had no choice but to suppress her doubts, put away the spices and left the classroom.

"Ruth, how are you going to prepare these spices?"

On the way, students walked together in twos and threes, discussing how to complete their homework.

Luo Wei raised her ears and listened.

"Me, I want to grind black pepper and sage into powder, add some shredded tobacco, and put it into a snuff bottle to make snuff."

Peppery snus? Unimaginable.

"Oh~ making snus is too time-consuming, I'd better make incense. What about you, Jack, what do you want to do?"

"Hey, this is the first time I have seen so many spices. I want to put them all into a pot, boil them into a thick paste, and apply it on myself every day!"

"Oh! Professor Phil won't allow you to do this. I think you'd better find another way."

"Yes Jack, you'd better change if you don't want to be put in a coffin..."

The conversation between several people gradually faded away, but Luo Wei stopped.

Because she suddenly remembered that the earliest use of spices was not for cooking, but for religious offerings and funeral offerings.

More than 3,000 years ago, the ancient Egyptians used spices to embalm corpses. They mixed various spices and oils to smear the corpses to create mummies that have been fragrant for thousands of years.

Europeans learned to cook food with spices much later than the Chinese.

Thinking of this, Luo Wei felt strange.

No wonder other people reacted so strangely when she said those spices were condiments.

Is it not strange to use the spices used to rub corpses with rice?

In the final analysis, it is the historical and cultural differences that are to blame.

Although this world looks like Europe in the late Middle Ages, it only looks like it. Europeans in the Middle Ages could at least marinate beef with spices.

However, this also reminded her that in the future, she must first consider the cultural background of this place when speaking and doing things, so as not to be regarded as a heretic.

Luo Wei thought about it and was about to leave when an arrogant voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Untouchable, stop!"

He is the follower of that noble lady.

The visitor was evil, so she quickened her pace.

"Luo Wei!" The girl couldn't believe that she was ignored and ran to her angrily, "I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"

Luo Wei was forced to stop and looked up at her face: "Classmate Wei Na, what are you doing for me?"

Wei Na arrogantly said: "Hmph, you don't think everyone has been fooled by you, do you? You still eat spices, it's really ridiculous!"

Luo Wei felt a headache after hearing this and was too lazy to explain to her that she was not eating spices but using spices for seasoning. "So, you came to me just to say these boring things?"

"Boring?" Wei Na raised her voice, "Untouchable, how dare you talk to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will expose you?"

Luo Wei's expression remained unchanged: "What are you trying to expose me for?"

"Ha, you still dare to pretend," Wei Na took an exaggerated step back and glared angrily, "You shameless person, although I don't know how you know those spices, but you can't deceive me!"

"I have long seen that you are not a noble at all."

"Stupid untouchable, that dirty woolen lining you are wearing is something only commoners can wear!"

"Have you finished talking?" Luo Wei looked at her calmly, "Then it's my turn to talk, right?"

Under Wei Na's stunned gaze, Luo Wei approached step by step, with a frightening cold light in her eyes.

"In my opinion, your words are vulgar, your behavior is frivolous and dissolute, and you lack the upbringing that a noble should have."

"Your conduct is bad and your morals are corrupt. Your jealousy and despicability are all written on your face. Your soul is dirty and disgusting!"

"You are not a qualified lady! Classmate Wei Na, you should really go home and practice the etiquette of the nobility!"

"Ah!" Wei Na screamed, stamped her feet vigorously, pointed at Luo Wei's nose and cursed, "You despicable——"

"Please pay attention to your manners!" Luo Wei quickly interrupted her and yelled, "Ladies don't yell. Put away your ugly face. You disgust me."

"You, you...wuwuwu..."

Wei Na broke down and cried, covered her face and ran away.

To a noble girl of this era, Luo Wei's words just now were vicious.

But she didn't feel sorry. In the memory of the original owner in the next seven days, Wei Na came to see her once. The words she used to humiliate the original owner at that time were ten thousand times more vicious than this.

She called the original owner lewd and despicable, pretending to be a nobleman in order to seduce aristocratic men. She also said that the original owner got her gorgeous clothes by selling them. She spread the word that she was a prostitute and even called a group of men to strip off her clothes.

Although the original owner pretended to be a noble, she was not guilty enough to die, and she did not deserve to be insulted like this.

She didn't use her status as a noble to gain anything, and she didn't do anything bad, but those people scolded her even more harshly than they scolded a heinous murderer.

Even the murderer was qualified to defend herself, but she was directly sentenced to death.

Thinking of the tragic experience of the original owner, Luo Wei's eyes darkened little by little.

"The Wesley family is famous for protecting their enemies. If you humiliate Weena like this, aren't you afraid of provoking the Wesley family's revenge?"

A girl with blond hair and blue eyes slowly walked out from under the pillars. She was the noble lady Athena.

The three words "Wesley" triggered the memory of the original owner, and Wei Na's information immediately appeared in Luo Wei's mind.

Vina, whose full name is Vina Wesley, is the youngest daughter of Earl Wesley of Boren Country.

The Earl's daughters can only work as followers. What is the background of this girl named "Athena"?

Luo Wei suppressed the suspicion in her eyes and turned around calmly: "Aren't you afraid that if you use Wei Na like this, she will complain to Earl Wesley?"

Athena curled her lips: "Of course I'm not afraid, not to mention she doesn't have the brains."

Luo Wei nodded: "Then why do you think I will be afraid?"

"It seems that I am over-worrying," Athena covered her lips and chuckled, then changed the topic, "By the way, I have a magic pattern class tomorrow, and those common people are probably going to make some jokes again."

"I heard that civilians can't do arithmetic, nor do they know multiplication and division. How can they calculate geometry?"

Luo Wei sounded a little weird. She could understand the magic pattern class. After all, this school was a magic academy, but why did the magic pattern class teach geometry?

Didn’t you just learn this in math class?

Her eyes were slightly confused, and in Athena's eyes, it became proof that she didn't understand at all.

"Fortunately," Athena smiled slightly, "there are books on arithmetic in the library, and civilians with limited knowledge can read books after class to catch up on their progress."

"Do you think so, Luo Wei?"

"Maybe." Luo Wei answered perfunctorily on her face, but there was something in her heart.

The original owner's memory was chaotic and blurry, and she couldn't figure it out for a while. She urgently needed to find a few history books to supplement her common sense about the world.

Thanks to Athena, she reminded her that there is a library in the school, although this is probably another temptation for her.

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you."

Luo Wei took the initiative to end the conversation and left with Spice in her arms.

"Oh, what an unreasonable guy."

Looking at her back, Athena narrowed her beautiful blue eyes, turned around and found the aristocratic boy singing poetry on the lawn, and invited them to the library.

The young nobles knew by looking at her face that this invitation was not innocent, and stood up with smiles: "Who does our noble princess want to tease again?"

Athena frowned: "Don't call me princess, I don't want to reveal my identity."

"Okay Athena," the teenagers changed their words smoothly, "who provoked you?"

"She's not that commoner pretending to be a noble. The way she looked at me offended me. Go teach her a lesson."

Several noble teenagers looked at each other: "Athena, are you sure she is a commoner? What if she is really a noble..."

"She can't be a noble," Athena said firmly, "I told her that there were books on arithmetic in the library, and she came over immediately."

"Only poor commoners have never learned arithmetic."
