"Hmm" The little girl named Hathaway squirmed, trying to get up a little bit, but her hands were still holding the greatsword and not letting go, it seemed that this was the most important thing for her today, so she couldn't stand up at all with her elbows alone, and finally held up a little higher, and fell again.
Again and again, Hathaway still didn't get up, her knight teacher just watched from the side, and didn't say a word, as if to tell her that others can't rely on it, only oneself is the only basis for the knight's road, gradually, Hathaway's cold but good-looking silver-gray eyes seemed to be stained with a faint mist, but she bit her red lips tightly, frowned deeply, and did not make the slightest pain or sadness sound.
Such a scene made Old Green a little unbearable, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sharp" As soon as he called out a name, Douglas, who had been quietly watching, suddenly spoke softly and kindly: "There are things that are put down for the time being, in order to better pick it up and not to put too much pressure on yourself." ” Hathaway looked up, her misty silver-gray eyes unblinking, as if trying to figure out what he meant.
Fernando sneered: "Holding that giant sword, of course I can't stand up, I've never seen such a stupid child as you" "This, yes, mission" Hathaway popped out word by word, I don't know if she was gritting her teeth, or she didn't know how to arrange the word order reasonably, so she could only break it down according to her thinking habits.
Fernando said angrily: "You throw the greatsword to the ground first, and then pick it up after you stand up, otherwise with your limb coordination, you will never want to stand up again" He saw where Hathaway's real problem was, but he said it mercilessly, and at the same time, silently added in his heart, as well as your ability to express himself Hathaway's face darkened, and she straightened her face again, except for indifference and stubbornness, there was no expression at all, and she did not listen to the advice implied in Fernando's ridicule, but still continued her efforts, holding up again and again, falling again and again, and finally, after experiencing an unknown number of failures, she sat up on her knees, then erected her greatsword, and slowly stood up with its support.
Seeing this scene, Old Green faintly showed a trace of excitement on his face: "In addition to the color of her eyes, she also has the perseverance flowing in his blood" "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have taken on this task, even if it was arranged by the big man himself."
The knight teacher named Sharp smiled, a little relieved, and a little emotional, and his beautiful blue eyes were like a sea without wind, as quiet as a sapphire.
Hathaway's white little face was stained with a few stains, her neat bangs became messy, she picked up the giant sword, glanced sideways at Fernando, didn't say anything, and didn't snort, but it was that indifferent look that made Fernando's face darken, and muttered: "This kind of little thing depends on continuous trying, and there is a chance to succeed, change something else, such a stupid approach will only make you die a few times before, and there is no possibility of starting again." ” Hathaway's expression remained unchanged, her eyes turned to Douglas, and her legs bent slightly: "Thank you." ” Her voice was soft and cold.
"Perseverance and never admitting defeat are good qualities."
Douglas first praised it, and then continued, "But we must also know how to recognize our own mistakes, and persistence does not mean that we must persist in our mistakes, but we should think and deal with problems strictly according to objective facts." ” Hathaway nodded understandingly, holding the greatsword, and stumbled over to the knight teacher Sharp.
Sharp smiled and said to Old Green, "You have a guest here who speaks so philosophically, I have only heard similar words in cardinal theologians, but he means the opposite, persistence means to adhere to the truth, and the truth is the doctrine of the Lord." ” In the past, because many intelligent beings lived a long life, so they had time to think about some metaphysical questions, so there was the term philosophy, and later, many ordinary scholars also joined the ranks, not because of the shortness of life and the weakness of their strength, so they were also called philosophers or thinkers, but with the deepening of the Dawn War, as the Church of Truth gained dominance, all philosophers who did not meet their tastes gradually died out.
"In fact, as long as they are alive, everyone thinks, except for the lower creatures, of course."
Fernando interjected again with a foul mouth.
Sharp glanced sideways at him, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, the atmosphere in the lobby of the small hotel suddenly became solidified, the sound of the sea rushing faintly revealed, and Hathaway's face suddenly softened, revealing a little expectant expression.
"Ahem."
Old Green coughed, interrupting this contemplation, "Sharp, don't worry about children, he has always been like this, not against you. ” Although Fernando couldn't show his aura as a high-level magician, he still glared back at Sharp unceremoniously, without flinching at all.
"Hahaha, hahaha."
Sharp suddenly laughed, "It's funny, it's very similar to when I was young, I look down on others, I like to sarcastically mock others, and my personality is stinky and hard." ” Fernando snorted, turned his head to ignore him, not feeling that he was anything like Sharp.
Sharp sat down on the high chair in front of the wooden bar, and Old Green poured him a glass of dark yellow liquor very tacitly.
"Whew, you're the only one who still has this recipe, and I haven't tasted such a strong drink in a long time," Sharp took a hard sip and then laughed, "Since I've been beaten half to death by him several times, my mouth doesn't stink anymore." ” He seemed to have the idea of teaching Fernando a lesson.
Fernand snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything more, because he had always understood in his heart that in Rentat, if he was not absolutely sure, he should not reveal his magical strength, and then he would die not only himself, but also his companions After Sharp had a drink, he turned to the little girl Hathaway and said, "You find a place to sit and wait for a honey-grilled fish, well, the greatsword can be put down." ” Hathaway nodded with a wrench, placed the greatsword across the table, and then pulled out a chair and sat down like a fawn, pulling out a book with a dark blue cover from the storage bag.
Flipping through the book, she read it carefully, the indifference on her face gradually faded, and her expression softened considerably, occasionally curling the corners of her mouth or frowning slightly.
This made her whole person suddenly vivid, no longer as unique as before, but like the quieter kind of child in this age group.
"Antifleur's Observations" Fernando's eyes were good, and he couldn't help but read out the title of the book Hathaway was reading again, "Reading this kind of book at such a young age will make you more and more stupid." ” Hathaway glanced up at him, then didn't say anything, and buried her head again.
Seeing this, Douglas chuckled, seemingly not quite understanding Fernando's behavior.
Roland smiled, sat next to Douglas, and lowered his voice: "Don't you think this is not like Fernando Actually, he has always been like this, his mouth is stinky, he loves to be sarcastic, and he is very serious and irritable when discussing serious issues, but he is usually more improper, likes to tease children, likes to make more obscene jokes with others, you will understand after you get acquainted with him." ” He completely ignored Fernando's glare.
"It shows that he has a young mentality."
Douglas laughed, "But for children, we still have to encourage." ” Roland continued to lower his voice: "Fernando once had a sister who died unexpectedly before the age of twelve, so he prefers children, but he doesn't want to admit it, and prefers to tease" Fernando slapped the table, interrupting Roland's "betrayal".
"Huh."
Sharp, who was constantly drinking, seemed to have very good hearing, and laughed twice at the right time, indicating that he had heard them all.
Hathaway's movements as she turned the page slowed down a lot, as if she had heard Roland's words, and her tense face relaxed a lot.
Roland smiled smugly, he wanted this effect, so that the two sides would not fight and reveal the identity of the magician.
Fernando looked at Roland without blinking, as if thinking about how to clean him up at night.
After looking at Antifleur's account for a while, Hathaway put it away and pulled out a thick book with a black cover, stacks of scratch paper, a quill pen, and a bottle of delicately shaped ink.
Opening the book, Hathaway focused on writing and drawing, and her whole person exuded a "brilliance" that people couldn't take their eyes off, which was the brilliance of self-confidence, which she lacked the most before "Fundamentals of Mathematics" Fernando aimed at the above.
He was not surprised that mathematics was the only magic-related knowledge that the church allowed to learn openly, because some nobles had to keep themselves from being blinded by the butlers in their accounts, and had to deal with all kinds of logistical problems, and of course, most nobles still took pride in not knowing how to calculate.
Douglas could also see through the darkness and smiled: "Actually, there is an easier way. ” He was overjoyed to see the hunt, and he didn't control himself for a while.
"Really" Hathaway was not very polite, and asked directly, as if he didn't believe it.
Now that the words had been spoken, Douglas did not shirk, went to her and sat down, picked up the quill, and gave her another method, which was strange and simple.
Hathaway looked at the scratch paper in front of her in a daze, and within ten seconds, her indifferent silver-gray eyes revealed a bit of vividness, and nodded affirmatively: "Really." ” As she spoke, she repeated the method, then stopped and thought for a while, and then quickly turned the book to one of the pages and pushed it in front of Douglas, with an indifferent expression, but a pair of eyes that were faintly expectant: "What about this?"
Douglas looked at it, and before he could speak, Fernando, who came over at some point, sneered: "I can't do such a simple question."
He crackled and explained the solution.
Hathaway furrowed her eyebrows at first, but after doing the math, her brows gradually relaxed, and then, she quickly turned the book to another page, and without saying a word, she just looked at Douglas and Fernando
