Quick Travel: From Beginner to Master

This is a slightly dimly lit room.

The two windows were closed tightly, and various books were scattered on the single bed.

One of the books had its title page torn out and its original owner had written all over it.

But the handwriting was extremely sloppy, and it was written and scratched again and again, revealing the owner's inner struggle, but at the same time, no effective information could be read.

There was poor air circulation in the room, making it a bit stuffy.

Ling Liang walked to the window and opened it.

Big waves of fresh air came in, but after a while, the damp smell swept over again.

There is no way, the climate of this city is a typical temperate maritime climate, it is rainy and foggy all year round, and the air is so humid.

After sorting and stacking the original owner's books neatly, and briefly tidying up the room, Ling Liang opened the door and went out.

In the living room, a woman with long flaxen hair sat in front of a small round table covered with a black and white tablecloth, her back straight, her hands resting on the Bible spread out in front of her knees, her expression solemn and pious.

Ling Liang stood about a foot away from her and greeted her: "Good day, Mrs. Tania."

Mrs. Tanya slowly turned around, looked at Ling Liang, and said: "Good day, Elton."

"I was just doing my morning prayers. I really hope I didn't disturb you."

She stared at Ling Liang with a pair of blue eyes and her tone was sincere.

"No, you didn't bother me."

Mrs. Tania's prayer was so quiet that it was almost inaudible, but she was a very restrained person, so it was normal for her to ask this question.

After calming down the lady, Ling Liang went straight to the small kitchen in the back room, quickly made breakfast, and took out the sandwiches and coffee.

The two finished their meal in silence, and Ling Liang stood up to wash the cups and dishes.

"Elton," Mrs. Tanya called out to him, "do you still want to join the army?"

She sighed softly, and then said: "I heard that fighting has begun on the front line, and the situation is not good. Since you have obtained admission to Trinity College, you should go to school."

"Don't worry about the expenses. I still have some savings here. I believe I can support you to complete your studies at school."

Ling Liang smiled and was noncommittal.

He also prefers to go to school to study, but Mrs. Tania will certainly not be able to pay for the tuition.

However, country D is currently coming with a fierce force, and the economy of the country where the original owner is located has been greatly affected.At this time, he had to go out to earn tuition fees. Thinking about it, he knew it was not easy.

Mrs. Tanya's statement that the war situation is not good is actually not accurate. It should be said that the war situation is very bad.

The current situation is that country d is in turmoil, while country y is fighting and retreating.

The wealthy people panicked and rushed to the bank to withdraw all their savings and seek refuge in neutral countries.

Many banks have declared bankruptcy because of this move. In the past two days, there are countless bankers who could not bear the pressure and committed suicide.

Ling Liang mentally considered ways to make quick money and reassured Mrs. Tanya, "I will report to the college on time, don't worry."

Lady Tanya smiled happily.

She was very reluctant to let Elton go to the battlefield. As a child who had been raised since childhood, she did not want to ask him to do anything to die.

The school is in a small town, less than a hundred kilometers away from here. It is said that it is safer than their urban area.

It would be great if Elton could figure it out on his own and throw away his stubborn idea of ​​joining the army.

Ling Liang washed the dishes in the kitchen, said hello to Mrs. Tanya, put on a hat and scarf and strode out of the house.

He came to a shipping company and found a well-paid short-term job here as he wished.

While other industries are showing varying degrees of decline, the business of shipping companies, large and small, is surprisingly booming.

The rich, some fat officials, and celebrities became agitated after hearing the news. Before their survival crisis, they even abandoned the habit of letting servants take care of everything and came to line up in person to grab tickets.

However, even at this point, they still care about some details.

Whether the seats and environment are comfortable or not, whether the pet can have its own seat, whether the lover and spouse should be arranged in different cabins... and so on.

Ling Liang issued boat tickets to these people in front of the window surrounded by wooden bars and collected commissions for handling various businesses for them.

The days pass in a hurry.

The original owner's full name was Elton Hughes, a colonel officer in Country Y during World War II.

His parents were both laborers. After World War I, the country was in a long-term slump. The economy was already in a slump, but the capitalists continued to exploit them as workers to the fullest.

The close relatives of the original owner later died of hard work and hunger and cold.

Elton was sent to an orphanage shortly after he was born, and was lucky enough to be adopted by Mrs. Tanya.

My adoptive mother was still very young at that time, only in her early twenties.

She is not married and does not meet the conditions for adopting a child.

But there are too many orphans in similar situations in the orphanage, and the orphanage doesn't care about the rules and regulations, and allows people to take away one by one.

In this way, the infant owner was happily handed over to his adoptive mother, who indeed took good care of him.

But Lady Tanya is seen as a weirdo by most people outside.

She believed in religion fervently and kept herself tightly wrapped in accordance with the teachings, especially covering her hands and feet.

If it weren't for the inconvenience that covering her face would bring to her life, Mrs. Tania might just be willing to show her eyes.

She was withdrawn by nature and did not like to talk to others. Before moving to the city, people called her "Miss Tania."

After her aunt passed away, she made a will stating that her niece Tanya would inherit her house in the city. The original owner and her adoptive mother came to this bustling city from the countryside.

The neighbors here didn't know her marital status, so when they saw she had a child, they called her "Mrs. Tania."

The adoptive mother didn't explain, so the title continued.

In [-], Country D ignited the smoke of World War II in Europe with a swift and violent blitzkrieg.

In the early stage, Country Y adopted an appeasement policy of non-resistance and sacrificing the interests of other countries, which made them even more arrogant.

After the enemy cleared the obstacles in front of them, they turned their greedy eyes on this country.

Notices calling for men to join the army were posted all over the streets, exciting speeches were given every day, and the domestic situation suddenly became very tense.

The original owner, who had just obtained admission to Trinity College of Cambridge University, was in a dilemma.

Should he go to school to continue his studies, or should he give up his bright future and go to the front line to defend his country?

After a brief period of confusion and hesitation, the original owner resolutely put on his military uniform.

Elton, who was still only 17 years old, bravely went to the battlefield.

He was incorporated into the Royal Air Force combat unit and survived the world-famous and protracted air battle over Britain. He repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and rose through the ranks.
