However, after the potion trading incident, the rumored cunning and despicable "fraudster" Tu Fu seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of potions. He lived a life of two points and one line as usual, and did not easily try to cross the red line of the restricted area.

However, unlike usual, he became very diligent in his studies, especially in the two subjects of Assyrian and history.

Selling is as greedy as a newborn baby is to breast milk.

From the textbooks, he learned that since the birth of writing in the Northern Continent, it was the earliest record of God and the gods.

According to the stories adapted from the ancient seven gods by later generations, they were endowed with the dark side of humanity. Similarly, the stories derived from the gods and humans after the creation of God were comparable to a "Greek Mythology".

The great master with an absurd life style acts as a walking pile driver, making the family relationship even more messy.

An absurd relationship comparable to the royal genealogy of the Northern Continent in the Middle Ages: "My daughter's daughter is still my daughter."

All kinds of stigmatizing style problems can be said to have trampled on the B character of the gods.

History books record creatures such as giant dragons, elves, mermaids, and demihumans before humans, and traces of their activities can often be left at the beginning of the era.

It was only after the Industrial Revolution and the Age of Discovery that these races gradually began to disappear.

Perhaps it hid deeper to avoid being captured by humans.

On the way to Leeds Comprehensive College, Tu Fu tirelessly listened to the stories of the mysterious thief in Leeds.

The story goes that the Mortons' house was stolen by unknown thieves.

Pass it down, Mrs. Morton stole.

Pass it on, Morton got stolen.

...

By analogy, some story versions were derived that even he, the client, did not know.

When you meet classmates, you even have to go along with each other and praise yourself.

Tu Fu sighed a little, and complained silently in his heart: "If everyone didn't say that, I wouldn't know that I was so good."

This is what children of this age like to talk about most. When they were young, who didn't imagine that they could become partners of justice.

If you are older and overwhelmed by the daily necessities of life,

I can't even have the courage to think.

People don't hate having supernatural powers, but it has become a consensus as to why the public hates supernatural beings.

According to Tu Fu's short experience as a keyboard warrior, the root of this disgust is not only that the supernatural person brings trouble to the original social order.

More importantly, I don't hate you because you are a transcendent and I am not.

This time, the underground organization didn't plan to find out who was behind the scenes, and he also got some breathing space for a while.

Just enjoy the campus life of the youthful years. Even though this kind of life feels very boring now, the days after getting married and starting a business are the time that is remembered the most.

However, Tu Fu, who installed monitoring at your classmates' homes, experienced a subtle change in his mentality, looking at you from the perspective of God.

The underground lovers in the class exchanged glances, but pretended to be strangers to each other.

Looking at the naughty male student next to him deliberately making the girl he likes angry, he probably still expects to be hit twice in his heart, and it is best to chase after him.

Some high-achieving students who usually pretend to never study, in private...never study.

Quick Billy in the next seat shared the latest campus gossip as usual.

"Guess where I saw Grace a few days ago. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would never believe that she was actually a backup dancer in a tavern."

"I remember that she seems to live in the Wood area, and it's normal for those people from the countryside to be left alone."

"Grace's parents are divorced, and her stepmother has come to the school several times and plans to apply for withdrawal."

"Probably to earn some tuition fees."

"Anyway, it's ridiculous enough."

A few people whispering in the corner of the classroom attracted more people's attention.

In fact, students at this age have already learned how to respect others, and they will not make sarcastic remarks on the bright side.

But that doesn't stop them from pointing fingers behind their backs and putting a label on someone that they can never tear off.

"Is it really her?" Tu Fu rested his chin, recalling the back-up dancer he saw in the old hunter's tavern, who happened to be a classmate of the college's senior year.

Grace Kelly, a good-looking girl with an equally nice name.

What Billy and the others pointed at was a female classmate with long curly chestnut hair, soft and shiny, sitting in the front row.

Her skin is very fair and delicate, and her clear and bright light blue eyes seem to be immersed in crystals. The fusion of pure pupils and willow-shaped eyes brings a different style.

Out of instinct, Tu Fu knew all the names of the good-looking female classmates by heart, so he recognized the identities of the girls at the old hunter's tavern at a glance that day.

Compared to her popularity, Grace is the top of the ordinary class regardless of her academic performance or appearance, but she is almost the poorest student in the class because of her rural household registration and family reasons.

In addition, she always does odd jobs outside, so she got the derogatory nickname of "Cinderella".

The chestnut-haired Grace was wearing a washed-out school uniform for girls, and the rough patchwork on the clothes was completely inferior to that of her aunt.

Billy's voices overshadowed the others, but she didn't seem to hear the sarcasm behind her and was still reading with her head down.

Tu Fu rolled his eyes, walked over and blinked in disbelief: "Billy, did you mean you were in the tavern at that time?"

The fast-talking Billy who claimed to have witnessed Grace going to the dance hall in the corner was also taken aback, and then quickly motioned him to shut up, "Don't talk nonsense, I never go to pubs."

"Of course, no honest person would go to a tavern to watch a performance." Tu Fu also had a serious expression, except for those who like to keep a diary, "Unless you didn't witness it with your own eyes."

Going to a tavern is not something worth bringing to the table.

The taverns, dance halls and some entertainment venues of the Kingdom of Baia actually prohibit minors from entering, but adolescent boys will always try to break the rules and challenge the shackles.

Tu Fu searched for such a widely circulated color joke from the memory of the original owner.

The father always advises his underage son not to go to the dance hall, because he will see something he shouldn't see there, which is the key to open the taboo door, and the body of the person who sees it will be cursed and petrified.

After countless struggles, the son finally couldn't bear his curiosity, so he went to the ballroom secretly one night.

Sure enough, he saw what he shouldn't see-his father.

"So in fact, you didn't go to any tavern, let alone saw a performance that you shouldn't watch. I think what you heard should be some irrelevant rumors."

Tu Fu smiled and followed his words.

"But I clearly... No, you're right, it must be a rumor." Sure enough, Billy, who was still gossiping just now, finally realized the stakes.

Even though it wasn't a big deal, it was one of the boys' private favorite topics.

If it is made public, it will definitely be notified to the Academic Affairs Office, and it will inevitably be notified and criticized. Then he spent his campus life infinitely under the surprised eyes of all the students in the school.

It's better to go down the steps given by Tu Fu.

Without Billy as the gossip leader, the few people gathered just now scattered back to their seats, and this sensitive topic came to an end naturally.

Tu Fu's appropriate topic change resolved the embarrassing scene and cleverly saved classmate Grace's face.

After the brief excitement, the girl in the front row, Grace Kelly, quietly turned her head and cast a grateful look at Tu Fu, but the latter turned his head and indulged in the study of ancient Assyrian.

As if it was just a trivial thing.

After Tu Fu finished today's study, he re-examined the troubles he was about to face now.

The unknown dangers on the ship are waiting for him, and the people from the underground organization will not let him go easily. There are dangers hidden in the darkness of this world.

It has been less than three months since the final selection for higher education, and it is not easy to improve points, find a career, or earn tuition fees.

The pressure of living in this era is really overwhelming.

Tu Fu habitually listed these things one by one in his notebook, made a plan after clarifying the goals, and prioritized solutions to problems according to emergencies.

In fact, in his previous life, he was such a person who was organized and had clear plans for the future, but such a person... was still exploited to death by capitalists.

Tu Fu integrated the cards in his hand, such as listing the pros and cons of returning to the Santa Maria, accepting the crisis on board and using the convenience of Sky Eye.

"The advantages of being on a boat far outweigh the disadvantages."

This is the conclusion he finally came to. After tasting the sweetness for the first time in the transaction incident, Tu Fu wanted to dig deeper into the secret of the ghost ship.

When school was about to end, when the students in the classroom were leaving one after another, a strange figure appeared next to his seat. Grace, the central figure who was discussed just now, lowered her head and whispered softly: "Thank you, I mean What happened just now."

Tu Fu shook his head indifferently: "It's nothing?"

"It's true what they say, but I have some necessary reasons for doing it."

Grace was a little ashamed. For a girl her age, there was nothing more embarrassing than being paid part-time in a dance hall to pay for tuition.

You Qi was discovered by the students in the same class, and she felt a little ashamed of Tu Fu's kindness.

"Like I said, it's nothing."

Tu Fu felt from the bottom of his heart that he would do the same thing if it wasn't for the blessing of his adoptive parents. "In any era, it shouldn't be a shameful thing to earn money with your own hands."

"Maybe." Grace smiled mischievously.

Perhaps it was the other party's experience that touched him, Tu Fu pondered and then said:

"I've heard a story. Once upon a time, a rich man's wife died of illness, and he married a new wife soon after. It's just that the stepmother was not friendly to the original wife's daughter, and made the two younger sisters bully her in different ways. Everyone called her 'Cinderella'."

Grace's eyes light up slightly, as if she is aware of the intention behind this story.

"Cinderella inherited her mother's excellent character. Even though it was difficult, she lived seriously every day. Once the prince in the city held a huge ball, and all the girls in the city would go..."

Tu Fu talked about this story leisurely, talked about elements that girls are interested in, such as the ball, crystal shoes, and midnight princess, and talked about the ending leisurely:

"She finally met the prince and lived happily together. The stepmother and two younger sisters were also punished as they should be."

I don't know whether it's an accident or a coincidence, but the characters in the book are inexplicably similar to Grace.

This is a simple story of "Don't bully the poor girl", but when Tu Fu finished the story, Grace was very silent.

She is like the protagonist of this story, even her life experience and encounters are so similar.

Classmate Grace turned to look at the little transparency in the class seriously. I don't know when, the temperament of the other party has undergone some inexplicable changes, and his gestures exude sunshine and confidence.

"do you understand?"

Seeing the sincerity on Tu Fu's smiling face, Grace's coldness that had been frozen for an unknown amount of time melted away, and she solemnly thanked the other party again:

"Thank you for your story. I think I understand what you mean. No matter what hardships you go through, people who work hard will eventually be rewarded."

Seeing the suddenly enlightened look of the girl in front of her, she thanked him very seriously.

Tu Fu pondered for a while, because he hadn't finished the second half.

In fact, what he wanted to say was,

"Look, it's a beautiful thing to marry a prince."
