If you put the time in a day, a week, even a month, or half a year, the chances will always be small, or even zero.
But if the time is extended indefinitely, then the probability of an opportunity appearing is 100%.
And Eli is waiting for this 100% chance.
…
Five years later.
Eli had just finished his day's work and left the library when he heard the teacher calling him.
"Teacher, look for me!"
In the familiar library, Eli met the teacher.
"Eli, you're here." Lemon raised his head and glanced at Eli.
At this time, his hair and beard were all white, and the wrinkles on his arms were clearly visible. He was already 80. In this world, except for those great knights, he was really considered to be old.
"Teacher, what's wrong?" Eli asked directly.
At this time, he should be 47 years old, and his appearance looks like a weathered uncle. His eyes seem to be soaked in knowledge and full of a different kind of charm.
At this time, no one talked to him about getting married.
Everyone knows that Scholar Eli is a man who likes to spend time alone.
Oh, yes, for now, he is just a scholar, he just doesn’t want to be promoted. Otherwise, with his knowledge and the curator teacher, it will be very easy. The main thing is that becoming a bachelor may have to take care of students. Eli thinks If you have a student like Herman, you will definitely have a headache.
Speaking of Herman, this guy is retired and has grandchildren. Eli even named his grandchildren.
He has known many people who have died over the years. For example, the boy from the Knight Academy died in a duel, Roland's second son accidentally drowned, etc.!
In just five years, so much has changed.
It is foreseeable that at a certain time in the future, Eli's friends will die on a large scale. Even just thinking about it makes me feel a little sad.
Eli could only keep a normal mind and focus on more important things.
This will keep him motivated
"It's okay, just send this file out and see who wants to try it." Lemon pushed out a file.
Eli brings it over.
I glanced at it casually, and my eyes suddenly lit up.
He understands.
The opportunity has come.
The document simply stated one thing, that is, His Majesty the King's six-year-old eldest princess needed a teacher who was proficient in history to educate her for five years.
Say it.
Bain VII originally had an eldest son, who died unexpectedly about seven years ago. Currently, there is only one princess born six years ago. And according to Bain's regulations, women also have the right to inherit. As the eldest princess, she will only have one in the future. If she's not too bad, she has a chance to become Byrne VIII.
This is opportunity for Eli.
Excavation of the main hall of the royal palace is not a simple matter, but if the king wants to dig and rebuild it, who can control it?
Eli's idea was simple.
After controlling the future king, when she inherits the throne, it will be his harvest.
As for whether this may take some time to wait, that's a small problem.
"Teacher, who is this for?" Eli turned around and asked.
"Are you interested in this?" Lemon raised his head, a rare flash of surprise in his eyes.
He is a good student, but he is very lazy.
Too lazy to socialize.
Too lazy to get promoted.
Too lazy to go out.
Except for the friends I made when I was young, I now hardly attend any banquets, evening parties and exchanges with strangers, and I also don’t take the initiative to make friends with other people.
Although he vaguely seemed to know that Eli's social circle was actually quite high-end, he was not very clear. Anyway, he felt that Eli should meet more new friends.
There is also a promotion, why don't you just bring a student? Neither of them wanted to do this, but it was rare for Lemon to understand this, and he understood it deeply.
There were also outings. This was the most outrageous thing for him. In the past thirty years, the only time he had gone out was for diplomacy with the Kingdom of Lorraine. Apart from that, he had never been outside the ten kilometers of King's Landing.
"Do you want to try it?" Lemon asked again, his tone even impatient.
"Well, I do have some ideas." Eli looked at Teacher Lemon's movements and smiled. Is it so outrageous?
"Well, then I'll have a good chat with you." Lemon nodded and motioned for Eli to sit down.
Eli sat down.
"Well, in fact, every princess and prince has many teachers. These teachers are generally proficient in different aspects of knowledge and educate them. This is to ensure that they have their own multi-faceted views."
"This time, the eldest princess needs a history teacher. If you are interested, you can really try. As long as you are a scholar or bachelor of the empire, you can try this." Lemon said.
Eli nodded, understanding.
"Well, what if there are a lot of people!" Eli asked.
"Well, it usually depends on reputation, or someone will take a test. It depends on personal ability. But if you don't even have a bachelor's degree, I'm afraid you may be dismissed directly, and you won't have to participate in subsequent comparisons." Lemon dismissed. He glanced at Eli and said with a smile.
Eli:? ? ?
Wrong payment?
"Don't worry, but you are my student. If you have my letter of recommendation, you can still pass easily." Seeing Eli's look, Lemon laughed. If you don't work hard, you have to rely on him. This teacher.
"Teacher, I'll leave it to you for the letter of recommendation." Eli looked at Lemon with a smile.
"A month's worth of work."
"Three days."
"Twenty days."
"One week!"
In the end, after a heated discussion, Eli won the recommendation letter by helping with the work for ten days.
"Thank you, teacher, then I'll leave!" Eli left with a smile.
"You!" Looking at Eli's look, he shook his head, not doing anything right.
He once thought about letting Eli succeed him, but then he saw Eli's attitude and gave up on this unrealistic idea. It was impossible for him to handle documents every day.
"Hey, why are the documents still there?" Suddenly, he discovered that Eli had not taken the documents with him. "
"Eli, come back!"
"Do you still need a letter of recommendation?"
…
Three days later.
Eli went to the palace with a letter of recommendation from his teacher.
After showing the letter to a guard, Eli was taken all the way to the palace, through the corridors and gates, and was taken all the way to a building.
Once inside.
Eli looked around.
Boy, so many people.
There were more than a dozen people, including several bachelors, and the others were all bachelors, including famous bachelors, all sitting on stools on both sides of the room.
The competition is fierce!
Eli secretly called him a good guy.
He also sat silently on the chair at the end, ready to wait for the selection to begin.
As soon as I sat down, someone sat down next to me.
Look sideways.
Hela, the famous female bachelor in the current empire.
"Long time no see!" Eli greeted.
