Chapter 149: No matter how poor you are, you can’t afford education
. Lann didn’t care much about the warlock named “Liens”. After all, if he could do something as careless as hiring seven or eight Redanian soldiers to cause trouble for him, one could easily imagine the opponent's pattern.
It's just that although Lan doesn't want to be a thief himself, he also doesn't want to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If such a dark figure allows him to continue wandering, he may ruin his own affairs at certain critical moments.
Since Dijkstra "kindly" gave him information, he must use it.
Anyway, I have long wanted to meet the famous poet Dandelion. This person's name has appeared many times but I have never been able to meet him in person. Shani seems to know him and should be able to get in touch with him through this line.
At this moment, the newly admitted medical student was dissecting the dragonfly monster with his attendants, and Lan just happened to go to see their progress.
All the way to the door of the anatomy room, Lan heard a strange voice coming from inside:
"This is a rare creature that has never appeared before. It is an excellent specimen. I will not allow you to treat him in such a rude way!" "
Lan looked over and saw a thin man being pushed against the wall by House, dancing.
Shani looked panicked and wanted to persuade House to let go of the thin man, but she was worried about her relationship with Lan and was in a dilemma.
The thin man was dressed like a bachelor and wore a round brass brooch. The pin from the brooch was apparently missing, replaced by a bent flat-head nail. Even though his feet were off the ground at this moment, he was still shouting to himself:
"This is blasphemy against a brand new species! It should be protected instead of being brutally killed by you. Now that the matter is over, it should be used as a specimen Protect them for future generations to learn and research, instead of being treated so barbarically by you!"
House didn't seem to know how to deal with such people, but he was right to press against the wall and wait for Lan to come back.
The attendant said coldly: "This is the trophy of Earl Lannister. It is the Earl's private property. It is not your turn to decide what to do with it. If you talk nonsense again, I may get you hurt." At this moment, because of this thin
man He shouted loudly, and many students who had finished class and disturbed instructors had gathered around the anatomy room. Lann vaguely heard them calling the man lifted inside "Mentor Linus Pitt."
The students seemed very angry when they saw that Niu Bao's tutor was treated rudely, and wanted to come forward to discuss the matter together, but were stopped by experienced teachers one after another. Finally, a man dressed as a doctor who was only as tall as an ordinary person's waist came out of the crowd. He came out and shouted to the people inside: "
Pete, don't be embarrassed! That body is someone else's property. Even if you want it, you have to do it." Go discuss the purchasing process with them instead of messing around here!"
The man who spoke was very short, but his hands and feet were not as thick as Zoltan's. He was obviously not a dwarf; but his body proportions looked larger than those of humans. Dwarfs are much more normal.
He had no shoes on and his feet were covered in curly hair. These physical features reveal his humanoid identity - a halfling.
Cowburg is indeed a tolerant place. The halfling was dressed as a teacher, and when he came out, the students made way for him. It was obvious that he was well respected for his knowledge. He anxiously wanted to enter the house, but was firmly stopped by Levin, who was guarding the door.
"Vanderbeek, I will not give them money!" Linus Pitt was still stubborn. "It is because of money transactions that they will hunt unnecessary prey without restraint, which will lead to the extinction of precious species. !"
The halfling was so angry at this theory that he jumped on his feet and spat out a steady stream of curse words. The students around him were accustomed to his behavior. The halfling knew that his colleagues were being unreasonable, but he couldn't ignore it and could only get anxious.
Hearing this, you can almost understand the situation at the scene. This is a farce, and Lan is not going to waste his time by letting it continue.
"I don't know who you are, but the 'precious species' you called now has more than one undigested human corpse in its belly, including the Redanian soldiers who are protecting you." Lan pushed away
. Crowd, his power does this kind of thing with ease. And as he spoke out, the students watching on the side also focused their attention on him.
"Your Majesty Earl." Levin saluted and opened the door for Lan.
Perhaps because Lann looked like someone of the same age, and he looked so good, most of the angry looks from the students who were watching suddenly dissipated. When the halfling saw the real master coming, he quickly changed his target.
"This... Mr. Earl?" the halfling introduced himself, "I am Milo Van Der Beek, the master's tutor of medicine at Fort Bull. Can you please ask your soldiers to take Peter, the one who made such nonsense inside? Idiot - put it down first?"
"I have always respected intellectuals, especially high-level intellectuals who are willing to devote themselves to education." Lann nodded to the halfling Milo, "I am Lann Lannister Ray Anron, Count of Cintra."
Then he strode to the dissecting room and looked at the intact dragonfly monster. Apparently, before the dissection had even begun, Peter heard that a creature he had never seen before came. , it has been going on for so long.
He signaled House to put him down and said: "There have long been rumors in the Delta that there are man-eating monsters in the water. Before us, we didn't know whether the 'rare animals' you mentioned had eaten people; and if we didn't take action, it would I don’t know how many people I will eat after that.”
The little Porter rubbed his numb and painful wrist, as if he felt that he was fearless in the beef burger, but he still retorted with all his strength: “This view of yours is unscientific. You Too emotional and too subjective. Nature is governed by its own laws, and although those laws are cruel and ruthless, they do not require human modification. This is a struggle for survival! No matter what excuses humans have, they cannot justify the extinction of species. Even if the extinct animals are predatory animals!"
Milo, the halfling, gestured wildly to the little Peter, but still couldn't stop him from saying this. He was about to jump up and scold Peter and pull him away, but was stopped by Lan Prevent.
Lann said coldly: "The Northern Kingdom has consumed so many educational resources to make you a tutor, but it is not for you to come to this kind of research conclusion that throws humans back to the bottom of the ecological niche. Even a countryman knows that. Protect your companions and family, and you don't seem to know this."
"I am able to obtain the degree and status I have today all because of my own efforts..." The
obsessed biologist wanted to refute, but saw Lan En... Turning around, he actually dragged the dragonfly monster corpse by its chin and lifted the four-meter-long monster up.
Under the influence of the sudden burst of power, the dozen claws with hooks and two large jaws opened their teeth and claws. Lann was about to throw the huge corpse towards Peter, but with the help of huge muscle power, The monster's corpse made it stop two punches in front of the opponent's eyes.
The dizzying stench and the ferocious face that seemed to come to life occupied all of Peter's sight. He heard Lan's cold voice: "Now it's going to eat you, how do you feel? Do you want to blame the dragonfly?" Will you sacrifice your life in the struggle for survival?"
The thin biology instructor was trembling with fear, suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted. Some of his students outside the door screamed, but they hesitated and did not dare to enter.
Lan waved his hand and motioned for House to drag the person out. He respected knowledge, but he had no good impression of such obsessive extremists.
He turned to look at the halfling Milo, who was also apologizing to him: "I'm sorry for leaving a bad impression on you, Mr. Lannister." Lann shook his head: "I respect knowledge
. , also long for knowledge, but I think the direction of all science and knowledge should be to benefit the people." "
Me too." Halfling Milo said, he glanced at the body of the dragonfly monster with regret, and said to Lan, "Please Do you believe that people like him are still a minority in Cowburg. The anatomy room can be used until tomorrow, and no one will disturb you before then." Lan noticed
Milo's eyes, but he could tell that The regret is not the regret of biologist Peter, but the regret of Shani - the regret of not being able to do the dissection in person.
Lan En suddenly had an idea and felt that this was a rare opportunity.
"Is this Mr. Milo Van Der Beek? I wonder if it's possible to talk to you alone?"
Milo, the halfling, looked at Lan's outstretched hand, hesitated and stepped forward to shake it out of politeness: "I There will be classes later."
"I can donate the body of the dragonfly monster to Niu Bao. I am very happy to contribute a small amount to scientific research." After Lann finished speaking, he pointed to Shani beside him, "As long as this little It's good for the girl to participate. After all, I promised her to let her do the dissection together."
Milo's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing Lan's words: "You can call me 'Rust', which is the nickname given to me by my partner. ." This
is the first time that the corpse of a dragonfly monster has appeared in the biological world, and it is still such a complete biological sample. This is a huge temptation for any scholar who studies biology, and even many students of humanities and social sciences came to join in the fun.
Milo obviously couldn't get rid of this temptation. He couldn't wait to kill the dragonfly monster.
But he naturally knew that after receiving someone's "donation", he would definitely have to pay a corresponding price. He had no reason to refuse the idea of having a good talk with Lan.
The autopsy room was really not the place to discuss things, so at Lann's invitation, Shani and "Rust" Milo went to Lann's residence in Cowburg. This was a suite that could be used as a living room.
