steel horn

After four days of walking on the bus, they finally arrived at the capital of the alliance - Lorraine.

In fact, the full name of the alliance is the Republic of the Western Continent Alliance. It is composed of [-] countries and is economically integrated. The big countries in the alliance are mainly Ryan and Hawke, with a population of more than one billion and a large area. Lorraine is exactly Ryan's capital is also designated as the capital of the alliance.The establishment of the entire alliance is obviously to fight against the Golden Kite Empire, the independent country in the Eastern Continent that firmly controls the best energy source on the Blue Star.

There were too many people, and they were all in a hurry. No one paid more attention to the four of them, but this made them, who had always been guilty of their own identities, feel safe.There are many high-rise buildings, and taxis with automatic navigation are everywhere. You can go up and swipe your ID card to travel, or you can invest cash. They chose cash and went to the hotel they booked in advance.

After temporarily settling in a hotel, Shao Jun bought a map of the capital, carefully studied the location of the Snow Eagle Military Academy of the Lower Alliance, and decided to rent a house mainly on Gray Street near Freeport. As the capital of the country, Lorraine has the largest port In free ports, ships from all over the world, including empires, can berth, receive and unload cargo as long as they pay money and taxes.For this reason, a large number of low-level manual workers have gathered here.

The next day he went out for a day of running, and rented a small apartment, which was well-equipped and quite quiet.There are three rooms, one for Ling Lan'er, one for Bulu, and one for Shao Jun and Ke Xia. Ling Lan'er blushed and said, "How can I let you squeeze into one room? I'll just sleep in the living room."

Ke Xia rolled his eyes at Bru, and sneered: "Of course ladies have their own room. As for Bru, I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and see an annoying person in the living room." He curled his lips and said, "Is it really necessary to rent such a good room? It costs fifty silver coins a month here! I just asked downstairs, and the nearby Black Street only needs ten silver coins a month for a month, and even more Near the free port, you can find a job anytime.”

Shao Jun said succinctly: "It's safe, we have girls, and Ke Xia is preparing for the exam and needs a quiet place. In addition to being close to Shannan High School, it is also very close to Sky Studios, which is convenient for finding a living. It is safer than Freeport." He also didn't take safety into consideration. After all, he was a robot, and his needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation could be minimized.However, after this adventure, he re-examined the reality that he was still carrying a fragile child and couldn't let go of it for the time being. This time he chose a quiet and safe place to live, even if it was more expensive.Apartments have strict access control, management, and security. In any case, they are safer than slums.

Bruce was stunned: "Why don't you go to Freeport to find a job?"

Shao Jun said: "There is a mixed bag, and there are many gangs and underworlds, so it's hard to find. It's more standard to work in the film and television city."

Bruce said: "But my sister and I are both minors and black households. We can't find legitimate jobs."

Shao Jun said: "Minors should go to school. I asked about it. There is a public Greya Junior School nearby. Tuition is free and no ID is required. Both of you, siblings, should go to school. For livelihood matters, I'm in charge."

Ling Lan'er was taken aback: "How can I do that? Although the tuition fee is free, the food and living expenses for four people are quite a lot! What's more, you don't have an ID card of the alliance... you can only work illegally, which is very unstable, or I'll get a job, and Bruce and Kesha will go to school."

But Bruce said: "My academic performance is very poor, and I can't get in at all. Sister, you have good grades, so you should go to school. Brother Du Yin and I will find a job."

Ling Lan'er shook her head: "You have to study hard so that we can have a bright future. You are still young, and I am older. Going to school to study with younger brothers and sisters is even more boring..."

Ke Xia couldn't stand the siblings anymore, so she made a final decision: "Stop talking, what money do you earn? Go to school obediently!" Ling Lan'er and Bruce both looked at Shao Jun, and Ke Xia was dissatisfied Said: "Du Yin listens to me!" He glanced at Ling Lan'er, did he still want to sell it?He couldn't bear to have such a selfless woman by his side, even if his life was saved, would he have to endure the life of seeing clients from time to time?

Ling Lan'er sensitively saw the condescending and contemptuous look in his eyes, and did not speak any more.The taciturn brother Du Yin never disobeyed Ke Xia's opinion along the way.

So they settled down. There is a kitchen and a bathroom in the small apartment, and there is a large supermarket nearby. Du Yin went to buy some cheap vegetables, made a simple stir-fried bean sprout shreds and potato shreds, and fried a few sheets. Beef pancakes, this is the first time Ling Laner has seen this kind of dish. She tasted the pancakes and found that they are made of simple flour and beef. She was surprised that she could fry such layers of crispy and delicious pancakes: "Du Because big brother is really good at cooking!"

Ke Xia looked at Bruce devouring the cake, and the finely crumbs of the cake fell all over the table, feeling a little dissatisfied: "Manner, manner! Look at the sound of your eating, like a pig, you go to school when the time comes, Won't people laugh at you for eating?"

Bruce made a grimace, and took another piece of cake: "Sneaky? Everyone is busy grabbing food, or they will be eaten up! Brother Du Yin's skills should be more than enough to be a chef."

"The restaurant has requirements for the identity of the chef, and there must be an ID card...Bru! Brother Du Yin hasn't eaten yet, it's too rude." Ling Lan'er blushed in embarrassment, and looked at Shao in embarrassment. Jun, Shao Jun has a slight headache, and he will have to cover up this matter in the future, Ke Xia said: "He has eaten, the food he eats is different from ours, and it needs to be cooked separately, you just eat it."

Ling Lan'er was startled, then glanced at Shao Jun, hesitated for a while, some illnesses did require a different diet from ordinary people, and needed additional preparations, but Shao Jun looked very healthy.After getting along these days, she also discovered that Ke Xia and Shao Jun seem to be in a master-servant relationship. Ke Xia's unconcealable aristocratic arrogance is too obvious. She heard guests say that the nobles on the side of the empire are Civilians are never allowed to eat at the same table, let alone servants.

But facing Shao Jun's silence, she didn't speak any more, but she felt very sad after eating, and rushed to wash the dishes after eating, scrubbing the floor of the apartment until it was shiny.

Ke Xia leaned on the bed and turned over slightly dissatisfied. Compared with the previous bed, the bed was too small, the pillows were too high, the mattress was too hard, and the quilt cover was urgently washed and dried by the robot today. It was so hard that his skin was worn out, and the fatigue from the journey surged up, but a peaceful sleep without stress was already too far away from him.

He could only get up, do a hundred push-ups and sit-ups solidly according to the method of body training taught by the robot, and then go to the bathroom to wash off the sweat from his body again, and return to the bed. The exhaustion of his body can make him It is easier to fall asleep.Tomorrow he will go to Shannan Middle School to sign up for the entrance exam. With a bleak future in front of him, he is extremely tired, but he can only suppress his incomparable desire for success and eagerness for revenge, and move forward on this bleak road, because there is no other way. Choice, the most ridiculous thing is that this road was pointed out to him by the robot, he is so lonely, so lonely that he only has the robot as his companion.

The robot was taking out the supplies in the luggage one by one and putting them into wardrobes, bookcases and other places. It was light and skillful. After everything was cleared, he walked to the window.There are pigeons on the roof of the opposite building. In the evening, groups of pigeons can be seen returning to their nests. After the pigeons return to their nests, the sound of pigeons in the cage and the smell of the pigeon cage float out.And there is a large square not far away. There are two teams playing in the field. People's voices, laughter, and the sound of hitting the ball come from it. Obviously, it is impossible for people to sleep peacefully. This is probably the reason why the apartment is cheap. It's okay to turn on the indoor air conditioner after closing the soundproof glass window.

Shao Jun closed the window, all the sound was blocked out of the glass, turned off the lights, and the room suddenly fell silent, and then closed the curtains, the room was completely dark, and then that terrible quiet night broke into Ke Xia again mind, he shouted: "Open the window."

Shao Jun was startled, but still opened the window, and the sound came again, the sound of pigeons fluttering and flapping, the sound of cooing, and the sound of paws rubbing against the cage, people in the distance The sounds of cheers, roars, and the sound of the ball hitting the ground were so clear and rich that they poured in, temporarily repelling the horrible past all at once.

Ke Xia took a deep breath, watching the robot silently standing in the corner, closing his eyes and preparing to sleep like before, the moonlight shone on his quiet side face, and the lip line was silent, just like a real person .

Ke Xia snorted: "Don't stand there, go to bed and sleep with me."

Shao Jun opened his eyes and looked at him, still with a human-like gaze, obviously those pupils were only simulated synthetic pupils, Ke Xia avoided his eyes, and said: "You don't sleep or eat, who cares if it's been a long time?" No doubt? I don’t want to fall asleep in case someone comes in and finds you not sleeping, so go to bed, remember to change into your pajamas, and sleep like a real person.”

Shao Jun thought for a while, and sure enough, he took off his coat, changed into a clean old shirt and shorts, and fell asleep outside the bed.

Ke Xia turned his head to look at the quiet face of the robot with eyes closed, felt the body temperature of the robot, and a silent and reliable feeling surged up, which temporarily soothed the fear and anxiety about the unknown future in his heart.
