"Thank you, professor."
Looking at the girl with a beautiful pen face in front of him, grando smiled and said, "you're welcome, son. Now there are few children as studious and smart as you. I'm happy to answer your questions."
The professor patted Leah on the shoulder and made a "come on" gesture before he left with his hand. So the classroom became quiet. Leah saw that it was getting late, so she picked up her things and prepared to leave. Don't want to step forward, the door was closed.
A young man with flaxen hair stood by the door with a smile. Beside him were several boys of the same age. Leah knew his name was bosg. He was an aristocrat. Other boys also had the title of aristocrat. So she said politely, "Dear Mr. bosg, would you please open the door? It's not early. I think I should go home."
Bosg shyly waved his hands and said, "no, no, don't call me sir, let alone use honorifics. Leah, you don't mind if I call you that. In fact, I want to ask, there must be many suitors for a beautiful girl like you?"
Leah smiled and said, "you flatter me. In fact, I'm very ordinary. There are many suitors."
As soon as bosg's eyes brightened, he suddenly made a strong gesture towards the back. A boy knew the opportunity to put the flowers he had prepared into bosg's hand, so bosg took out a handful of fresh flowers from behind like magic and said, "well, if I tell you. I admire you very much, Leah, will you agree to associate with me?"
Leah looked at bosg in surprise and said, "the flowers are beautiful, but I can't take them."
"Why?"
"Because my husband will be unhappy," Leah said with a sweet smile.
Bossig's expression was stiff, and he reluctantly smiled: "Look, Leah. Although my family is not a high-class aristocrat, my family has always been friends with the Andrew family, and the Andrew family is a collateral branch of the planing family, one of the three giants. If you agree to my request, I promise you will be happy. As for your sweetheart, I think a large amount of compensation should make him accept this fact. Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything "Yes."
Bossig thought his words were appropriate and considerate. No matter how hard hearted a woman would be, she would impress herself. Especially after she showed her family, Leah, who was a civilian, didn't immediately throw herself into her arms. But what he didn't expect was that Leah, who was still smiling because of politeness, turned cold after hearing this.
She said coldly, "Mr. bosg, please respect yourself. You don't understand that real love can't be measured by money!"
As soon as Leah's voice fell, a freckled boy behind bosg "puffed" and laughed: "Miss, you've seen too many Shakespeare plays."
He poked bosg and said, "why do you have to be humble to such civilians? Bosg, if you like her, ask for her here. We'll keep the wind for you and let's have a taste when we're done."
Bosg's face changed and said seriously to Leah, "I'm not such a person!"
Leah gave him a deep look, and a strange look appeared in the depths of her pupils. Bosg was stared at by her eyes, as if she had seen through some secret, and subconsciously lowered his head. The brilliance in her pupils shrank, and Leah sighed and shook her head: "But your heart tells me that you are such a person. Just now, I heard the cry of desire. Mr. bosger, please get out of the way and don't let things get out of control while you can control the beast in your heart, will you?"
Bosg only felt that his heart was sour, painful and uncomfortable. Leia's whisper fell into his ear, but it went into his heart like an awl and twisted constantly, stirring up the things in it.
He smiled. Bossig stretched out his hand to unbutton his coat. When he looked up at Leia again, the expression of the refined young man became distorted and ferocious: "what love? I bah, you Dalits don't deserve to talk about love. I think it's your honor to look up to you. Since you don't want face, I'll strip off your clothes and see how much your love is worth!"
Leah sighed and dropped her hand into her bag. There was a pocket pistol given to her. The pistol had been loaded with two special bullets: Vertigo bullet and voltage bullet, which were used for Leah's self-defense.
But when bosg came forward with a grim smile, the door of the classroom was kicked open. A tall and thin figure appeared under the back light outside the door. Leah thought it was zero, but another boy came in from the outside.
The tall and thin boy who bit a grass root and shaved his hair into a board inch looked at bosg and others in the classroom and whistled: "I said how to close the door. It turns out that master bosg is having a party in the classroom. Otherwise, count me in. What are you playing?"
He said with a smile and heard bosg frown. The boy with freckles sneered, "Langdon, it's none of your business here. Get out now. We can treat nothing as if it hadn't happened."
"Wow, it's so scary." the boy named Langdon made an exaggerated expression and then said coldly, "don't think I don't know what you want to do? Bosg, I advise you and your friends not to think about Leah. It's not for Leah, but for your good, if you don't want to die."
Bosg turned around and said with a smile, "this is the most priceless threat I've ever heard. Is it up to you, Langdon, a civilian boy wants our lives?"
He laughed and the others joined in. Langdon looked at them coldly and said, "of course I won't kill you. But Leah's man can. Don't you know who Leah's sweetheart is?"
"Who is it?" a boy asked curiously.
"Have you heard of the competition in the hammer of destruction training hall a month ago? Do you remember the man who fought with Commander sol and ended in a draw?" Langdon said calmly: "Yes, he is Leah's sweetheart. If you dare to touch Leah's hair, you might as well think that your family dare to provoke such a man? Provoke the man who can draw with Commander sol?"
The whole classroom was silent.
A moment later, bosg "hum" and slammed the door with an ugly face. All his friends followed closely, but when bosg came out of the classroom, he said to Langdon, "that man, I really don't dare to provoke him. But Langdon, be careful. I still dare to provoke you if you say so."
"Anytime, dear young master bosg," Langdon said, bending over and pressing his hand on his chest.
Leah looked at the funny boy, couldn't help laughing and said, "thank you. But you're not afraid to provoke bosg them? Anyway, they're aristocrats."
"I know. But unless they transfer the family warriors, I won't pay attention to their words." Langdon touched his nose and said, "nothing else. I'm very good at fighting."
"You're so interesting. Anyway, thank you today."
"You're welcome," Langdon said, waving his hand and licking his lips. "But it would be great if Leah would do me a favor."
"What's up?" Leah asked.
Langdon scratched his head and said: "Well, you know, a civilian like me. Even if I have the ability, I don't know what year and month it will be. So I think, Leah, can you help me with zero? It's the name, right? Because the name is very strange and special, I should remember correctly. Please tell zero for me and let me join his army?"
"Do you want to join the army?" Leah looked surprised. "If you want to join the army, which of the five legions in asgat is not better than the zero team?"
Langdon smiled bitterly: "My eldest lady, can the five legions enter if they want to. Especially civilians like me, and I don't have strong ability. The annual recruitment of new soldiers is an opportunity, but I have missed it this year. More importantly, the hammer of destruction is about to enter the battle of the Western tundra. If I can join the zero team now, I will have the opportunity to participate in this battle Fight. "
"If I can perform on the battlefield in the west, I think I can get what I want!" Langdon clenched his fist.
"You men, you think about war," Leah shook his head, saying, "well, I will talk to zero. But if he can join, he has the final say."
"That's enough. Come on, Leah, I'll take you out so that bosg bastards don't make any small moves." Langdon said excitedly, pulling up his sleeve and waving his fist.
What an energetic guy, Leia thought.
Outside the gate of mengglia college, zero morning was waiting. He looked at the small electronic clock on the locomotive instrument and frowned gently. Leah should have finished class at this time, but the person hasn't come out yet. Zero thought about it and decided to look for Leah in the college. As soon as he took the car key, he saw Leah and a boy come out. When he saw zero, Leah waved and followed Say goodbye to the boy next to you before trotting towards zero.
The boy who sent Leah out showed a bright smile when he looked at zero and waved his hand. Zero was a little confused and even polite. He also waved to the boy.
Seeing the boy leave, zero asked Leah, "that's also your student?"
Leah nodded, took the helmet from zero hands and put it on. "Well, his name is Langdon. He's an interesting boy."
Zero said "Oh" and didn't take it to heart. He restarted the engine of the locomotive, and he drove Leia slowly to the highway. Leia sat in the back, holding zero's waist tightly with her hands, and the whole person was almost close to his back.
In the evening, the holographic plate showed a sunset projection. A few white clouds floated in the sunset red sky. The sun fell on the ground and cast the shadow for a long, long time. Leah looked at the ground, and her shadow and zero shadow extended to the end of the rear road, as if they could reach the end of the world.
I wish it could go on like this.
Leah thought, but she knew it was impossible.
"It's about to go to war."
In the helmet, Leah whispered. Her voice was not high, but she listened clearly through the communication channel in the helmet.
A moment later, zero gave a faint nasal "um" as an answer.
"I want to go to war with you, can I?"
Leah asked softly again.
Obviously, this problem has a great impact on zero. The locomotive swayed slightly and then stabilized. A moment later, zero asked, "why? Leah, the battlefield is different from the wilderness. It's more dangerous there. The threat of death is everywhere. Even I can't guarantee that I will come back."
"So, I want to go!" Leah's hands pressed harder. "I don't want to be separated from you anymore. The experience of wandering alone in darkness and dreams is enough once. If I die, I want to die in your arms instead of waiting alone. Besides, I'm different from before, aren't I?"
"I have the ability to help you on the battlefield. More importantly, zero, I don't want to be your burden. I think I can do something for you!"
Zero silence.
Victor once asked him if he wanted Leah to go to war. At that time, his answer was no, but now Leah has taken the initiative to make this request. He understood Leah's feelings. The girl wanted to prove her value. She didn't want to be a vase for zero appreciation. She wants to try to change, and everyone has the freedom to pursue their ideals, doesn't she?
"It's not impossible," said zero Shen. "But you have to accept the test."
"If you want to go to the battlefield with me, you have to participate in the military training of the base from tomorrow. Brown will preside over the whole training plan, and I will ask him to treat it equally. If you can't support it, you have to stay in asgatri. But even if you can hold on, there will be a real combat assessment before the real battle. Similarly, if you can't pass, I won't allow you Go to war. "
Leah smiled happily, "OK, I promise you. If I can't do it, I'll give up the idea."
Maybe Leah's idea was impulsive and even overestimated herself. But people will always appear impulsive at some time, and will do something that seems to be beyond their power in the eyes of outsiders. But if not, there will be no miracle in the world.
Miracles are created in the impossible!
The sunset is beautiful. The speed of the locomotive is not fast. It silently carries the two people hugging each other. The shadow drags a long track behind the car, as if chasing light and dreams. In this turbulent era, it is not easy to live, and it is more difficult to have a dream. After all, the cruelty of this era has long polished most people's courage to embrace their dreams.
But there will always be some people who still retain this courage. Maybe they will pay a great price on the way to pursue their dreams, but they are still indomitable. Like zero, Leah, and him.
Langdon walked home with his pockets in his hands. He was born a civilian and his parents were workers. The only good thing is that his family has the status of free people. Even if they were only one class higher than slaves, they already had relative freedom. Langdon's parents used all their savings for him to enter the college in order to change Langdon's life.
Today, Langdon finally saw the opportunity. Through Leah, he had the opportunity to join the zero army. Langdon even began to imagine that he would kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield and finally return to the heroic posture of triumph.
But at this time, several figures appeared in front of him.
Bosg said coldly, "you look in a good mood, Mr. Langdon."
