Although that big sister always had a slovenly appearance at home in the community, she was like a tech geek. But she didn't need to sleep, so she wouldn't hug the quilt in bed until late in the morning. Every morning at breakfast time, she would always come to the dining room and have a simple breakfast with everyone, even if she didn't need to eat.
But this morning, there was no sign of that beautiful woman.
At the dining table, Lin didn't have many rules. At most, he just didn't waste food. In the past, Halloumi always liked to talk about trivial things in daily life at this breakfast time.
Like when he grew taller, when he walked the dog, he ran to some ravine and saw a family of wild deer. This was usually accompanied by the smoked venison on the table. Or it was some interesting news from the wife of the Chamber of Commerce's manager, Naji.
The black-haired, brown-skinned girl with a double braid would occasionally interrupt to add some new news she heard from the forum. The group would then continue to discuss the meaning behind these news. This was what Lin constantly warned and taught the two girls. That was, they shouldn't believe the one-sided words of others. Instead, they should piece together the truth from other people's information and then make a judgment.
But this morning, the three of them remained silent.
The two girls were not teachers in the Orange Eaton Academy, so as long as it wasn't necessary and there wasn't a shortage of people around him, Lin wouldn't take them to work. Even if there was a shortage, now that the academy had enough free labor, it was better to just grab a job than to let his own apprentices work for free.
Since last year, the two girls stayed at home most of the time in the community to help their big sister with her research, or to accumulate the knowledge and authority they needed to advance to become an official mage. Of course, some of the cleaning work in the community, as well as the work of walking the two big dogs, also fell on them. Then in the afternoon, they would go to the coffee shop run by the academy and return home before dinner.
Therefore, Lin went to work alone today.
The academy's troubles were still the same. Except for Lin, the mages who wanted to help couldn't do anything. Even the great mage, who was born in the Leon District, could only be respected in the Sijia District, but there was no way he could help the academy's predicament.
And most mages chose not to interfere with the academy's affairs. However, there was another small group of people who were blatantly hindering them. However, Lin could not be ruthless because from the beginning, Lin did not ask for everyone to advance and retreat together. It was purely an employment relationship. It was indeed his fault that he was unable to fulfill the promise on the contract.
He had wanted to talk to the president to see if he could resolve the current predicament. However, the old president who was seriously ill did not receive guests other than his family. In other words, other than his only wife and his wife's sister, the only people who could see President Orange Eaton were his students. Other than that, even his colleagues in the Council of Fourteen could not meet him.
This kind of attitude also showed that the Old President had been in a coma for a long time and was rarely awake for long periods of time.
Therefore, during this period of time, not only did the academy have a difficult time, the atmosphere of the entire Wulian City was somewhat treacherous. However, no one dared to openly discuss the issue of the next president. After all, Orange Eaton had been accumulating power for a long time. No one dared to do anything overboard while he was still breathing.
The great mage who was dying killed all the enemies who came to visit him in one breath. This kind of thing had happened more than once or twice. This was also the biggest reason why people other than his family did not dare to approach the mage who was on the last leg of his life.
Who knew if the person lying in bed was confused and killed all the people around him or if he was really smart and killed the enemies who came to determine whether he was dead or alive.
There was such a question because it had happened many times. Some friends who were only acquaintances came to visit at this time and were killed as a result, so the two families became enemies.
For the family of the seriously ill, it was gratifying to get rid of the enemies, but it was unwise to become enemies because of this. Therefore, the family members simply unified the standards. At this time, it was not suitable for visiting the sick, so except for the family members, no one was allowed to enter. Sometimes, even the students who were relatively alienated were forbidden to approach their teachers. After all, it was not up to these people to distribute the inheritance. What was the purpose of risking their lives to get close?
The uncertainty of the president's issue was also the reason why most people did not dare to be too confident when Lin Xiang tried to find a solution to the Chamber of Commerce's problem from the connections he had cultivated recently. If their friendship was not as deep as he thought, they might have sent him away as soon as he came to visit. In fact, even if these people tried their best, they could not change the hostility from the Chamber of Commerce.
It was another day of nothing. Lin Xiang's many messages on the forum and many letters through the mail system did not receive a friendly response. He dragged his tired body back home. His sister was sitting in the dining room as if nothing had happened. She was chatting with the two girls who were busy in the kitchen.
"You're back."
"Yes, I'm back."
Although their tone and expression were the same as before, Lin Xiang and Fen only had this one sentence in their conversation. Then, it was another night of silence.
In the following days, it was as if they were stuck in the mud of life, constantly experiencing setbacks. The former Devil King also spent the night outside from time to time, sometimes even for a few days.
In the face of such a situation, Lin could only sigh deeply when there was no one around. He had expected something like this to happen. Initially, he thought that he was already prepared for this. However, when he actually encountered it, he realized that he was not as open-minded and open-minded as he had imagined.
But what could he do? He could not beat that Lich. Scolding her? There was no point even if he won. In fact, Lin Xiang was also confused as to why such a good woman would be by his side.
Okay, maybe the knowledge from Earth was a trigger. But now, whether it was mathematics or programming, he had to ask her for advice. It could be said that he no longer had any value, so it seemed very reasonable for that person to choose to leave.
Lin Xiang stared at the stars outside the window. He knew that he had been in this state for a long time.
Later, he was able to put his mind back on observing the stars. Now, he was a ball of tofu pudding and could not think at all. Even the twinkling stars made him feel dazzled.
Suddenly, the melody of a song from Earth rang out in his mind. He still remembered when he heard it when he was young, he thought it was a beautiful song.
It was Zhang Xinzhe's "Love Is Like a Tide." Maybe the mood of the song was not completely in line with his situation. The last line of the lyrics was even more difficult to admit, but he could not lie to himself that it did not exist.
While the man in the attic was sighing and groaning, the two girls gathered in Kaya's room were establishing contact with their sister, who was not at home.
The Lich had already developed the first version of the software that could be used for real-time communication. Although it was also given to the man who never looked at his emails, rarely went to the forum, and was wary of the software's functions. But his style was the same as before. He did not like to stare at these things all the time.
According to a certain person, he wanted to go and take a look. But it was common for him to not think about it for several months in a row. So, for this real-time communication software that had no name and was not going to be made public, even if there were only four users, that bastard usually would not read or reply.
"If there's anything, please tell me face to face." This was what that person had said after accepting the software.
So now, the only people who would use this real-time communication were these two small and one adult close friends.
The Lich, who had stayed out for the night, was sending a message to Kaya through the software. "Is your teacher okay?"
Because this software had only implemented the most basic functions, things like stickers and groups had not been completed yet. So now the two girls were face to face, squeezed in front of a water mirror screen and communicating with the person on the other end of the software. As for her sister's question, Kaya quickly typed a reply without thinking. "Not good at all."
"What's wrong?"
"When he went downstairs today, he almost rolled down the stairs. If he hadn't grabbed the handrail in time, he might have fallen all the way from the third floor to the first floor. "
"So tragic. Hehe. "
"There's more. This is from Hallumi. " "Teacher has been walking recently and bumping into cabinets, or kicking the legs of tables or chairs. He's almost moved all the furniture in the room once. He's completely absent-minded. "
"Oh, that sounds pretty bad."
"Yeah, it looks like the symptoms are more serious than a few months ago."
"He didn't say anything?"
"No. That man was just trying his best to hold it in. It makes me uncomfortable. Can I beat him up? "
"Hehe, if you can win, then fight."
"We can't win. This is from Kaya. "" Hallumi is drawing circles on the side. "" Well, sister, when will you be back? "
"I'll be back tomorrow morning."
"You know that's not what I'm asking."
After Kaya sent this message, it immediately appeared as a "read" message, but there was no response for a long time. The two girls looked at each other. Just as they were about to send another message, they received a reply.
"This is a rare opportunity. I'll play outside before going back. What's more, there's a lot of undercurrents out there right now. My current identity is just right to investigate this matter. You don't have to worry. "
"Got it."
The last message was "read," but the sister on the other side didn't reply. After waiting for a while, Kaya disconnected the call. She and Hallumi walked to the stairs leading to the attic and craned their necks to look at the room in the attic.
It wasn't that they didn't understand their teacher's situation. But before a certain someone asked for help, they didn't know where to start.
It was emphasized that they didn't know, and not that they didn't do anything out of consideration for a certain someone's reputation. They didn't care about the latter. After all, the two girls didn't know how to play this kind of adult game. And the former Demon King was used to playing the game of "one against ten". He would beat up whoever showed up to solve the problem.
If he killed, he might be able to create a bright future, but it was more likely that he would get the title of "Demon King." So they could only wait, wait for the man to make a decision, no matter what that decision would be.
