book of old days

Chapter 181 Dark Alley Area

A class ended before he knew it. After walking out of the classroom, Sean enjoyed this feeling very much. The life of returning to the university to teach was much more pleasant than he expected. Telling the story to others, listening to the amazing voices of the students, and watching their startled expressions is also a very fulfilling thing.

"Professor Sean, wait for me, that—can you sign for me?" Emily's voice suddenly came from behind.

As soon as Sean turned around, he saw Emily and several other female students gathered together, took out the prepared book and asked him to sign it.

The girls all showed expressions of curiosity and admiration, and even Emily didn't tell the relationship between the two, and even pretended to be the first time they met.

Xiao En smiled slightly, thinking that this little girl is quite good at acting, and he didn't know what kind of tricks she was playing, but he also happily pretended to be confused.

After signing autographs for several female students, watching them walk away with a smile, Sean shook his head.

He was not in a hurry to go home, it was rare to leave the castle, so why not go to the bar to relax, since he had done a lot of summoning rituals recently, and had encountered several dangers, he should relax.

"You should accept his invitation." Walking on the street, Alhaz's voice suddenly came from the window next to him. Sean glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Alhaz was walking side by side with him in the window. He was not in a hurry to give an answer. After getting along with Alhaz for a long time, Sean had mastered the trick of not being regarded as a lunatic.

"Did you see what happened before?" He seemed to be talking to himself, his voice was so small that no passerby on the street could hear him.

"Of course, I'm everywhere." Alhaz showed his secondary expression again.

Sean snorted, "I'm curious, what kind of existence are you, is there a spirit behind you?"

"Behind the spirit? What is that?"

"It's nothing." Sean said, and then asked again: "What are you so concerned about? Are you so eager to kill me?"

"Hmph, I'm not that boring. I really think you should study occultism with him. It would be much better if you have a companion by your side for such dangerous things. Otherwise, if you get into trouble, you won't even know if you die." How did you die?"

Sean sneered for a while: "Given your current state, your words are not convincing."

Alhaz was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xiao En said, but this time he didn't break the defense, instead he snorted coldly, "You can be proud, but I guess you won't be proud for too long, maybe you can succeed I have summoned you ten, twenty, thirty times, but as long as you continue, sooner or later you will end up in a more tragic end than death."

"Like you?

After Xiao En finished speaking, he waited for a few seconds but did not hear Alhaz's counterattack. He turned around and saw that Alhaz had disappeared in the mirror.

Tsk tsk tsk, breaking the defense so quickly, I thought they would fight each other for a few rounds, it's really boring.

Sean spent the whole afternoon in the bar, chatting with a few friends he knew or didn't know, discussing the recent war and newly published literature. After not coming back for a year, the bookstore has added basic bestsellers , Which other country has a new invention.

This era is the worst era, but it is also the best era. All kinds of novel inventions emerge in endlessly, and new things will be released every month.

People's thinking is changing from the ancient Middle Ages to the era of industrial civilization, and the collision of ideas can always bring about various topics.

Listening to the descriptions of his friends, Sean felt hesitant to invent something. There are so many technologies in the future, there must be a few that he can tinker with. Maybe we will become technological pioneers in a few hundred years. .

When he walked out of the tavern, Sean still maintained this interest, thinking about whether there were any techniques that could be created with his poor science memory, until a weak voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Sir, may I buy a loaf of bread for a few pennies?"

Sean came back to his senses, and it was a lame man who was blocking his way. His clothes were very shabby, and he was stretching out a hand at this moment, with a fawning expression on his thin face, and a pair of lifeless eyes under his messy hair , this clothes looks like a beggar, a vagabond at first glance.

He glanced around, and unknowingly walked into the dark alley area, which is really unlucky.

Even a big city like Sword Castle also has a dark side, and due to the relationship of the times, this dark side is extraordinarily huge. The dark alley area, to be precise, is a large slum area attached to the edge of the city. A gathering place for the Han, the homeless, and corpse-snatchers, bankrupt farmers, unemployed workers, black market dealers, and criminals, you can see all kinds of people here.

But most of them are homeless people like the one in front of us.

The police in Sword Castle would clean it up regularly, but it was of no use. The most indispensable thing in this era was bankrupts with nothing, and they were willing to do anything in order to survive.

Xiao En glanced around, and a few beggars with dirty faces were looking at them not far away.

His hand reaching for his pocket stopped decisively, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head: "Sorry, I didn't bring change."

He knew that as long as he gave it to one person, he would definitely never want to leave.

The man in front of him showed a pleading expression, "I really only need a few pennies, I haven't eaten for a few days."

Sean really couldn't stand this kind of pleading, he was in a difficult moment—"Hey, what about you, stop!" A policeman suddenly came over with a baton in his hand, and the few beggars were frightened All of a sudden disappeared, like a mouse hiding in a dark corner.

The policeman yelled loudly and let out an astonishing roar, but when he looked at Xiao En, he immediately changed into a concerned expression: "Sir, did he offend you?"

Sean shook his head, "It's nothing, I just said a few words."

The policeman looked at the homeless man fiercely, "Come with me."

The homeless man looked terrified: "Why?"

"Why, I suspect that you have committed the crime of vagrancy. According to the laws of the Kingdom, those who have not worked for more than a month and obtained legal income, and have no fixed residence, should report to the relevant department immediately."

"No, I'm not a bum, I'm a gun factory worker, and it's just because of an accident that..."

"So what? Is that why you came out to beg? I don't care what your reason is, the law is the law."
