When I opened my eyes, the white of the fish belly outside the window was gradually brightening, the bright moonlight was fading, and the orange morning sun was breaking through the shackles of the night, but the world had not yet had time to wake up, and the streets outside were still not the slightest noise, not even the occasional footsteps or coughs.The quiet streets envelop you like gentle waves at dawn, and you can hear the sound of soft lapping in your ears.Looking at the ceiling above my head, mold was slowly spreading in the corners, and a hazy halo could see the faint areas of decay.The unreality of reality and dreams blurs the boundaries in this way, and it is difficult to distinguish which dream you are in and which reality you should return to.Then, raising his right hand, he snapped his fingers lightly, "pop", and a faint orange fire jumped up on the twisted index and middle fingers, burning silently, without the need for more words, this is the best way to distinguish between reality and dreams, enough to determine where you are.The reality of that longing is a dream, and the illusion of that nightmare is reality, and he is still lying on the single bed on the third floor of 99 Prince Street in Iwabuchi."
Whew......" let out a long breath, Holden sat up straight, his chaotic thoughts quickly calmed down, and he went to wash and take care of himself in a step-by-step manner, ignoring the sound that Mai Luoxu might hear downstairs.The first thing Hoden experienced during his short stay on the Norsnes continent was that life was inconvenient and all-encompassing, and even the usual daily routines such as washing and going to the toilet had become cumbersome due to the difficulty of transporting pure water over long distances, and "tap water" never seemed so important.It is no wonder that only the nobles were clean and fragrant centuries ago, while the common people could not even wash themselves daily: smell was indeed an important means of distinguishing classes, and even if they changed their clothes and makeovers, they were still difficult to get rid of."
Kick kick!
You damn bandit!
”There were loud footsteps and curses from the second floor, but the stingy landlord didn't come upstairs again.When all was done, the sky was completely bright, not the sun's shining kind, but the sparse light sunlight spilled down through the thick clouds, casting a hazy halo over the city's buildings, and the dirty stains and broken walls added a bit of decadent beauty.Holden took Sankith and some Chini and left the house to buy ingredients in the nearby street - although he had a good meal at noon yesterday, he was ignored at night because he fell asleep, and the feeling of being hungry produced a realistic experience of being in the world of "Spirited Away", always recalling Chihiro's words to her parents, and then being woken up hungry.Surprisingly, but understandably, seafood is cheaper than meat, and meat is cheaper than vegetables, which is really good for picky eaters.Holden is not a picky eater, and any ingredient, as long as it can be cooked and matched in the right way, can eventually become a dish on the table.Unfortunately, there are no seasoning ingredients such as onions, ginger and garlic for the time being, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of cooking.Whether it's Chinese or Western cuisine, these seasoning ingredients are essential, otherwise even a three-Michelin-starred chef will be difficult to cook without rice.Now Hodden can finally understand what was going on with the dark dishes at the "Three Cripples" bar yesterday, the seafood, river fresh, and offal were handled very crudely; And the smell is so strong that it can't be eaten at all, even if Hordon is not a picky eater, he will not stuff garbage into his mouth.In the end, Holden made a relatively safe choice, buying brisket, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, broccoli and other ingredients, and then buying couscous bread, eggs, butter, olive oil, cheese and basil, all of which cost only one kiss and three tocopies.When I returned home, I quickly made a simple breakfast, eggs with broccoli, and couscous bread as the staple food, temporarily padding my stomach to say goodbye to hunger; Then set up the pot, process the brisket, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. through different procedures, bring the heat to a boil, and simmer on low heat.When all was done, I sat down at my desk again.Judging from the current clues, the pattern on the floor of the villa's living room, the fire in Viscount Philo's private residence, and the interference of the Umani Church should be the key to leaving the Norsines continent and returning home.And these three clues, as a poor student of Hoden, to carry out the investigation, is bound to be extremely difficult, and the Iwabuchi Library should be the most direct and easiest opportunity; Several other libraries, as well as those of Sykepace College, don't know if they can find more information.At the same time, he also needs to be vigilant, the Umani church is not moving at the moment, and yesterday's "self-snaring" seems to be his cranky thoughts.It would be great if the Umani Church hadn't noticed his survival for the time being, but he still had to complete his investigation before the other party noticed; Otherwise, when the Umani Church makes a move, with his current ability, he will simply use his mantis arm as a car.If his actions yesterday have already taken a spook, then he needs to speed up even more, and he also needs an umbrella or smoke bomb to cover his actions - since he has no power to fight back, then he must find a protection that the Umani church will not dare to act against.The answer is not difficult: Sykepace College.Whether it's for the above reasons, or to maintain the rhythm of "Holden-Herlo's" life, to avoid the likes of Guzmin and Nair from noticing his anomaly; Or to improve your strength and explore the mysteries of psionics, Sekpeth Academy is the best choice.After all, he was originally a student, and hiding among the students was naturally the best way.Then, the entrance exam for Sekpeth College is especially important.Holden's revision time has been quietly wasted for a whole week, and the entrance exam is tomorrow, which also means that the moment of cramming has arrived.For Howlen, the priority is to learn from scratch, and then gradually awaken the knowledge kept in the depths of the brain, looking forward to the further integration of the soul; Of course, it would be great if you could bring back memories of the past week.Looking back, Hodden realized that there was indeed a problem with his memory, all the memories of the past week were gone, and the memories of the week back were a little blurry and scattered, leaving only a few fragments that could not be connected.He wasn't sure if it was the effect of psionic energy.One more reason to enter the College of Sekepeth.For the rest of the day, he needed to really go into retreat, sprint with all his might, take a deep breath, and the aroma of beef lingering under the wings of his nose made Hoden look satisfied.()
