Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 268 Haina’s cross-examination

When the steam train entered Muwan County, the surrounding air became obviously much fresher.

Haina opened the window and took a deep breath of the fresh air of her hometown.

——It has to be Muwan County!

As a child, Haina had no understanding of her hometown.

At that time, she also regarded the beautiful gem-like clear water, blue sky, and lush forests as a natural part of life.

And when she entered the glass island for the first time, she was shocked by the prosperity.

She entered the glass island from the metropolitan area and felt a kind of awe from the bottom of her heart when she looked at the majestic factories one after another, the dense flow of people, and the fact that more than two trains could even appear in her field of vision at the same time.

People on the street were wearing fashionable clothes that she had never seen before. Knights in armor were everywhere on the street and in the sky. She could even see a circus passing by, magicians and singers performing on the street, and the A huge, sacred and solemn church...

Busy and full of life, crowded but orderly.

But after staying for a long time, Haina will miss home again.

She will miss the blue sky and fresh air at home - unlike the glass island, which is half foggy and half smelly of the sea. Only the Red and White Queen is slightly better, but only just a little bit better.

Although Glass Island had much more entertainment than she did in Muwan County, she didn't go out anyway. So doesn’t it mean that these entertainments don’t exist at all?

In this case, for her, Glass Island is indeed not as fun as Muwan County!

"I thought young people like Miss Haina would prefer glass islands."

Yeats, who was sitting opposite Haina, said with a smile: "Resorts like Muwan County are usually visited by middle-aged nobles who like fishing and horseback riding."

——That’s weird.

Haina gnawed on the cold pie in her arms, drank from the metal flask that Meg had given her, and subconsciously rolled her eyes. ̮̦͖̥͈̳̭̭̋̏͝ŝ̸̢̜̳̱͈̹͓̀̆̔͋͛͠ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸ ͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶ ͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇ ͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

Various entertainment projects on Glass Island range from safe to unsafe, from conservative to extreme, from perverted to not perverted. Young people like it, and so do middle-aged people.

"It's not just middle-aged people who come to Muwan County to travel..."

Feeling that it was impolite to roll her eyes, Haina added an explanation: "And I don't like going out to play on the Glass Island."

Haina usually huddles in the dormitory, not entirely because she is too lazy to move or has no money. It's because she really isn't interested in those kinds of entertainment.

Although she did have no money, as the leader, she could easily borrow a large amount of money from her classmates who came from a business family - of course, the kind that did not have to be repaid.

This is very normal, even quite common.

Not all knight families are necessarily rich, not to mention that there are many priests and ordinary people among the students.

Taking the name of a knight can only mean that there was a nationally famous and outstanding ancestor in the past four hundred years, but as long as the age is slightly older, the accumulated connections have probably been exhausted.

All that's left is a set of armor inherited from the family and personally awarded by the king or queen, allowing them to enter the Round Table Hall. But that's all.

The reason why Lloyd's could not be eliminated before was because these knights accepted their sponsorship.

Compared with providing sponsorship to the knights, it couldn't be easier to please these good students who have not yet been exposed to society and who most likely only have school experience. For far less money, you can buy a friendship that lasts for years, and a favor that will be reciprocated no matter when.

This is a pretty good investment. As long as you cast a wide net, you can basically guarantee your profits——

Wangli Law University basically controls all mainstream talents except the military system, the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Sciences.

Civil servants in the Supervisory Bureau, Inspectorate, Law Courts, Churches, including trade, diplomacy and other important government departments also give priority to recruiting people from Wangli Law University.

This also includes those hired lawyers who have not joined the law court, as well as low-level priests who have not passed the church examination but still mastered the art of illumination, and civilian scholars who are in urgent need of sponsorship to support research.

These are all valuable talents. And it is easy to win over them at the student stage.

Even if they are really screened out, it does not mean that they are incompetent, it can only mean that they are too good in the same class. As long as you are diligent in picking up leaks, there is always a chance of shipment.

Those clubs, one after another, exist just for this situation. Students have huge social needs and they can get a piece of that pie.

As long as Haina nods, not only will her life no longer be difficult, but she will even be able to live a comfortable life without any scruples.

And all this does not require her to make any commitments. As long as she maintains a friendly attitude, she can relax and enjoy it - for a person who has been exposed to the extraordinary path from scratch at the age of eighteen and has reached the third level at the age of twenty. For geniuses of this level, there are many people who want to send money.

——You still dare to make demands? Then just stay back and you won't be able to lick it from now on.

"Oh why?"

Yeats was a little confused and curious: "Miss Haina is so beautiful...and she must have good grades. Isn't there any suitor around her?"

"There are some, and quite a few. But I drove them all away."

Haina informed calmly.

Although Haina is naive...she is not stupid.

Although she didn't know what the price of all this would be, Haina resolutely refused all temptations.

This is not to say that she is a born saint - it is better to say that she is actually very greedy for those little cuties printed with red candles and silver crowns.

Every time she refused the temptation, she would roll in regret on the bed for a long time. It's just that after regretting it, she will still refuse the temptation stubbornly next time.

the reason is simple.

That's really just because she's cautious enough for some reason.

Haina knew that she was a village girl from a small place. She has a low and conservative opinion of herself.

Although she is good at studying and taking exams and is sensitive to the power of the Tao, she is not that smart, knowledgeable or experienced after all. So she doesn't know what these things mean, nor does she know the price of these cheap things.

She just insists on an extremely simple concept——

Nothing comes free, everything has a price. And there's a good chance she won't be able to afford that price and will lose even more.

Businessmen are extremely smart, even treacherous. The fact that they can make money means that they have a flexible brain - and Haina knows that her brain is not good, so she can't beat them.

So she simply refused to interact with these businessmen and smart people.

As long as she has no deep friendship at all and refuses all proposals and gifts, she will definitely not be fooled.

At that time, she applied for an early internship because she was so annoyed by various social requests, but she couldn't tell the difference. After leaving the school, it immediately became quiet. When people see her, the first thing they think of is "Inspector Haina" instead of "Chief Haina".

Even her best friend, Haina, couldn't tell if someone from any faction had sent it to them, and she wasn't sure if they had been bribed. Therefore, Haina did not dare to listen to their suggestions and opinions.

The political situation in the kingdom is complex. Haina couldn't understand it at all.

So she didn't take any side at all, just asking for nothing. As long as I can just live like a waste.

But it was precisely because of her attitude that Meg accepted her as her apprentice.

"What about you?"

Haina didn't want to continue talking about herself, so she changed the subject abruptly: "Are you here for a trip? Is your fishing gear in that big bag?"

Because if she told the truth, Haina was worried that the other party would suspect her of bragging; and if she showed evidence to the other party, it would leak her own information. When she realized that she could no longer take the call, Haina simply chose not to take it.

This is her style.

If you don’t understand, just watch, if you don’t understand, shut up, and if you can’t do it, don’t do it!

Faced with Haina's inquiry, Yeats just smiled and said, "I'm going home too."

"Eh?"

Haina was stunned for a moment: "Where are you from?"

"I am from Bagpipe Town," Yeats replied.

As he spoke, the bottom of his pupils shone slightly red.

"What a coincidence, I'm from Yingjia Village!"

Haina immediately became energetic: "We are quite close, we are both terminals!"

Hearing that the two of them had the same destination this time and were both terminals, Haina immediately took off her guard and became elated.

She asked: "Where are you from Bagpipe Town?"

But Yeats just smiled and shook his head without answering.

Only then did Haina realize that she was too excited, so she took the initiative to explain: "When I was a child, I studied in Bagpipe Town for several years - do you know "The Cow and the Harbor"?"

"Niuwan News, I've been reading it since I was a child."

Yeats answered easily.

This is indeed what the locals call it.

My former neighbor’s grandfather was the editor-in-chief of "Cow and Harbor"——

Haina originally wanted to say this.

But her spiritual intuition suddenly made her pause - because she felt that it was too easy to position herself, and it would not be good to tell strangers.

So Haina swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.

She turned to ask: "Do you work on Glass Island?"

Seeing that Haina did not continue speaking, Yeats seemed to be slightly surprised.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Haina in surprise.

I only slept for three hours last night... In total, I slept for ten hours in the past three days. I feel like I'm getting closer.

I’ll order takeout first, there will be a second chapter, I’ll post it later——
