Silin and Huimao didn't stay on the other side of the lake. Soon, they took the school bus to another area. There were no more hotels to stay in. Many local residents would rent rooms at a high price, but Silin didn't plan on renting one. He and Huimao could spend the night lying on the wooden chairs in the square.
After eating something, Silin and Huimao spent the night in a small park on campus. In fact, Huimao preferred to roll around on the grass. Silin didn't mind it. The little guy snacked on insects in the grass.
The next morning, the weather was good. Silin arrived at his destination: the bookstore.
A school's bookstore showed the school's style and history.
The school's library wasn't open to the public, but Silin didn't mind. Many rare books could be found in the RAS 'stacks and databases. He just wanted to find a random bookstore to see the style of San Calombo and the students' hobbies. He wanted to know which topic he would choose to talk about.
It was still early, but there were already some students in the bookstore quietly reading books. These students didn't look like nobles, and they didn't have any noble emblems. They didn't have powerful backgrounds, and they didn't have extraordinary talents. This meant that they would need to spend more time studying.
Cillin looked at the books on the bookshelf. Although a lot of them were purely electronic, the process of reading would leave a deeper impression on one's memory. Many people liked to hold a book in their hands and make notes while reading. This was a process of memory strengthening, and not everyone had a memory like Cillin.
Silin looked at the books on the bookshelf. He had a general idea of the style of San Calombo. He chose a book about local customs and customs. Then, Silin went to the reading area and sat with the students.
Of course, Silin's goal wasn't just to read. He looked at the books in the hands of the students and chatted with the people around him about the contents of the books.
The others treated Silin as a student of San Calombo. They complained to each other about the difficulties they had recently encountered, and they would respond to Silin's questions.
After sitting for three hours, around lunchtime, Silin bought a book and left the bookstore. He called Huimao, who was teasing the sparrows in the woods, and left the bookstore.
They found a restaurant that was quite popular among the students to eat and drink afternoon tea. This restaurant wasn't the most popular, but pets were allowed in this restaurant.
When Silin arrived, it wasn't the restaurant's peak hour, but there weren't many empty seats. They came to an empty table for two in the corner and ordered some snacks and food.
Most of the service staff were not robots, but students who were doing part-time jobs here.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl dressed in a restaurant uniform served food to Silin's table. At the same time, she was considerate enough to install a small cat chair on the table.
Silin ordered fish fillet, dried fish, seafood porridge, etc for Huimao. This restaurant's fish steak was pretty good, and it was also one of the most popular dishes.
Smack!
A piece of fish steak fell into the bowl of a guy who was bragging to someone at a table.
There were seven or eight people at that table, both men and women. The guy who was bragging felt that he had lost face in front of his female classmates. How dare someone pick a fish steak into his bowl! This was outrageous!
"Who?! Whose fish steak is it?! " That person stood up and looked around, but no one paid attention to him, and no one said anything. After all, many tables had ordered fish steaks, and a few tables were occupied by children. No one could tell which table had been chosen by that person.
Seeing that the beautiful girls around him were still laughing with their hands over their mouths, the guy was so angry that his face turned green. He called the waiter over and asked to see the surveillance video.
After a while, the waiter took out the surveillance footage for them to see, probably because he was worried about that person's identity. However, strangely enough, there was nothing suspicious on it at all. Then, the fish steak suddenly fell into his bowl.
The guy was still grumbling, but he couldn't find anything suspicious. In the end, he had to give up.
Cillin stared at the gray cat who was earnestly licking the seafood porridge in front of him. The fellow's ears were perked up and facing the direction of the table, and there was not a single piece of fish left on the plate. Just now, this guy had accidentally thrown the fish steak out of his mouth when he was using his claws to fork it. However, the restaurant's surveillance video was nothing in front of Huimao, so it was impossible to find the truth from the video.
Silin held a cup of tea in his hand, and as he drank, he read the book he had bought. At this moment, a few more people walked into the dining hall. Celine looked over as if she sensed something. Oh, it's an old acquaintance again!
Sensing Silin's gaze, the other person also looked over.
"Big Bro Silin!"
It was Chang Little Four.
Although Chang Little Four's current school wasn't San Calombo, it wasn't any worse. This time, he had heard that San Calombo had invited someone from the RAS to give a lecture, so he had dropped what he was doing and come with his classmates.
When he saw Silin, Chang Little Four greeted his classmates and walked over to Silin. He didn't know too much about Cillin. He knew that Cillin had run into Lunani at Ulaganuo's cousin's wedding, but Lunani didn't tell him too much about it because Cillin had instructed her not to. All she knew was that Cillin was currently at AF1.
"Hello, Wheeze!" Chang Little Four had become more cheerful and confident. Although he still had a young face, he had matured a lot. To be able to enter an advanced education school at such a young age, his abilities couldn't be ignored.
Huimao raised his head and looked at him. He shook his beard to show that he understood, then continued to lick his seafood porridge.
Silin pulled out another chair for Chang Little Four to sit in. He hadn't expected to run into Chang Little Four here.
"Big Bro Silin, what are you doing here? I heard from Lunani. AF1, you're my idol! "Chang Little Four's eyes sparkled.
"I had some business to attend to. I'll stay in San Calombo for a few days for the lecture, then I'll come visit you guys," Silin replied with a smile.
Chang Little Four didn't think too much about it. He didn't even think that Silin would be here to give a lecture.
"My classmates and I are also here to listen to the lecture, but we booked a hotel in advance. Otherwise, we'd be sleeping in the park by now."
"We slept in the park last night," Huimao raised his head and said without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
"Ahem, Big Bro Silin, why don't you come with us? We have a lot of people, so we can squeeze a bit to get a seat. It's only a few days anyway. Besides, we'll only be sleeping at night.
"It's fine, don't worry about me. If I really need it, I can find a place no matter what. "
Chang Little Four thought about it. He had never heard of anyone in AF1 worrying about this. Besides, there weren't any poor students in AF1. Many people knew about the treatment of affiliated schools, and the most enviable of all was their treatment.
"We'll go to San Calombo's Thousand Flower Garden after dinner. Big Bro Silin, do you want to come with us later?" Chang Little Four asked expectantly.
Thousand Flower Garden was one of San Calombo's most famous scenic spots. Everyone who came to San Calombo would visit a few of the city's most famous scenic spots. Otherwise, it would be a shame.
Since he didn't have much to do, Silin agreed.
Chang Little Four's classmates ranged from twelve to thirteen years old to nearly twenty years old. It wasn't unusual. It was common to see such things in advanced education schools.
At first, Chang Little Four's classmates looked down on Silin. After all, Silin wasn't wearing a noble emblem, and Silin was a bit older than Chang Little Four. They were both in advanced education schools, but one was in his twenties, while the other was in his teens. Everyone thought that Silin's abilities were mediocre.
However, when they heard that Silin was from AF1, their attitudes immediately changed. Some admired him, some envied him, and some were jealous. But Silin didn't bother to argue with them.
As they were talking, Chang Little Four's communicator rang. After a while, Chang Little Four said to everyone, "They're here. Let's go."
The "They" Chang Little Four mentioned were from the same school as him. The one who had just spoken to him was Lunani.
Most of the people in San Calombo's Thousand Flower Garden were outsiders. It was likely that the people from the same school had already seen this place countless times.
"Little Four!" As soon as Chang Little Four and the others got out of the car and entered Thousand Flower Garden, someone hurried over.
It was none other than Lunani. She wasn't dressed in extravagant clothes, but her fresh appearance and pretty face were enough to attract a lot of people. Even though she was just a little girl, the family emblem she wore was enough to attract a lot of attention. However, she was a noble, so they couldn't act too rashly.
Lunani, who was waiting at the entrance, was annoyed by the few people who were trying to strike up a conversation with her. When she saw Chang Four and the others get out of the car, she ignored them and picked up her floral dress as she strode towards them.
"Who's that guy?" There was a group of people not far away. One of them had just put on his noble emblem and was about to approach Lunani, but Lunani's overly courteous demeanor was completely gone. She ran over to him with a smile.
"I'm afraid you guys don't know this, but that kid in front of us is the one Lunani flirted with despite his noble status. He's just a commoner, and Lunani really doesn't care about her status. I can't believe a noble like her is so infatuated with that kid that she's forgotten her own name!" said Sharapova.
"Oh, Sharapova, you're not saying sour grapes, are you?" said another noble lady sarcastically.
Sharapova's expression froze for a moment, then turned into one of disdain. "No way! How can nobles like that commoner? You think everyone's as stupid as Lunani? "
"Tsk, I thought it was something else." The noble young master glanced at the noble emblem he was wearing out of the corner of his eye, then looked at Chang Si who was chatting with Lunani intimately. His eyes clouded over. "Killing that brat is as easy as killing an ant!"
"Don't go too far. I heard Chang Little Four is a commoner, but he has a backer," said another noble.
"A backer? Even if he does, can he be more powerful than cousin? "
Everyone turned to look at the person standing in the middle of the group and fell silent.
Lunani ignored everyone else out of habit. After talking to Chang Little Four for a while, she turned to Chang Little Four's classmates and told them about the day's schedule. However, when she turned to look at Silin, she froze and reflexively bowed.
"Your Highness, Silin …"
"Long time no see, Lunani." Silin stopped Lunani before she could finish her bow.
Not far away, the group was discussing how to teach Chang Little Four a lesson when the person in the middle saw Lunani's movement. He stopped twirling his cup and asked in a low voice, "Who's that?"
The people around them said they didn't know, but Sharapova thought for a moment and remembered. "He's Chang Little Four's brother or something. He used to visit Chang Little Four at school …" She suddenly remembered something horrifying and paled.
"Tsk, he's just a commoner …" The noble young master swallowed the rest of his words when his cousin, who was standing in the middle, glared at him.
"Continue, Sharapova. Say what you know." Thomas didn't even look at the others. He kept his eyes on the people at the entrance of Myriad Flower View Garden.
"In the past, Chang Little Four and the others were friends with the prince of the Fire Eagle Royal Family …"
Many people did not agree with Shavarissa's words. How could a commoner be able to be friends with His Royal Highness? They'd only exchanged a few words at most. How could they be friends with the prince?
"Continue!" Thomas shouted in a low voice, interrupting the discussion.
Seeing that Thomas was about to lose his temper, the others didn't say anything.
Sharapova didn't know much about what happened in Baelenbator back then. She only told them what she knew, and most of it was just rumors.
Thomas's eyes flickered. It wouldn't be a big deal if that person was friends with the royal family. After all, there were many nobles who were friends with the royal family. However, he clearly saw that Lunani's unfinished bow was an etiquette for a member of the royal family!
Not counting on the idiots around him, Thomas walked over with his cup in hand. However, there were too many people with Silin's group, so he decided to follow them for now and find a chance to test them later.
With Thomas's warning, the others didn't act rashly. However, just because they didn't go over didn't mean that Silin didn't know that they were being watched. It was just that Silin wasn't in the mood to pay attention to them.
With Silin around, Lunani was a lot more restrained. Others might not know, but she knew how important Silin was. Even now, she still didn't know who Silin was, but someone who could call Prince Windiska by his nickname and hang out with the other three princes so casually …
Seeing that Lunani was a lot quieter after Silin appeared, everyone thought it was because she was shy to see Chang Little Four's family. Little did they know that Lunani's back was drenched in cold sweat. Especially when the girls made fun of Silin. Lunani's face paled, and she carefully watched Silin's expression.
She didn't know anything in the past, but ever since that incident, Lunani's reverence for Cillin was clearly excessive.
The Garden of Ten Thousand Flowers was indeed beautiful, and it was a landscape garden that had been built over hundreds of years. Although it could not be compared to the natural landscape planet of Gaga's cousin's house, in this era where technology had brought about a high degree of artificial decoration, the natural landscape with a long history had become a precious treasure.
After all, Thousand Flower Garden wasn't as stunning anymore. However, Chang Little Four and the others were happy to see it. They even took pictures as souvenirs. After watching for a while with Chang Little Four, Silin's communicator rang. Silin greeted Chang Little Four and walked to a quiet place nearby to answer the call.
As soon as Silin left, the girls asked Little Four about Silin. In terms of looks, Silin was above average, and he wasn't too distant from others. He looked like a gentleman.
"Don't talk about things you shouldn't talk about!" Lunani shouted.
"What's wrong, Lunani?"
The girls found Lunani's reaction strange, but she refused to say anything. Chang Little Four stared thoughtfully at Silin not far away.
Guan Feng was the one who was looking for Silin.
Since San Calombo hadn't received any communication from Silin yet, they were worried that the invitation would be canceled. They nervously asked the RAS's administrators for an answer, and the administrators contacted Guan Feng in hopes that he could give them a definite answer. Otherwise, the people of San Calombo wouldn't be able to rest easy. After all, they had already advertised and promoted the invitation. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face and a joke if the invitation was canceled?
After he hung up with Silin, Guan Feng informed the school that the people they had sent were already in the city.
The higher-ups of the school panicked. This wasn't like this before. Why did they sneak into San Calombo without a word?
Too many people had entered San Calombo recently, so they hadn't been able to find out who exactly it was. Guan Feng didn't divulge any information either. He only told them that he would contact them when the time came.
No worries? How is that possible?!
That's even more worrying!
Is the RAS going to make a secret visit?
If they angered this esteemed guest of the RAS, San Calombo's reputation would plummet. It would greatly affect San Calombo's ranking in the 23rd Star Region.
Thomas, who was watching from the other side, couldn't figure out which family Celine belonged to no matter how hard he tried. He had studied the members of the royal family before, but there was no such person in his memories.
Just as Thomas was deep in thought, a voice interrupted him.
"Eh, Thomas? What are you doing?"
The newcomer was a nobleman who studied at San Calombo. His status couldn't be lower than Thomas's.
Thomas thanked the newcomer but didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Thomas smiled and called out to the person who was about to leave. He pointed in the direction Silin was standing and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"
Hong Xi stared suspiciously at Thomas's sudden change of expression. He looked in the direction Thomas was pointing at.
"Who are you talking about? Which one? Don't tell me you've fallen for a kid who hasn't even grown up yet, Thomas? You won't even let a kid go … fuck me! "
Hong Xi waved Thomas away before he could finish his sentence. He sprinted toward the direction Thomas was pointing at while shouting, "Ah, my idol! My idol!"
Silin had just ended the call and was wondering if he should contact the school when he saw the head of a colorful airplane running toward him.
He looked around and noticed that Silin was the only person within range. Who the hell is that?
