Chapter 171 Joan's Attic

Joan looked in the direction indicated by Thomas, and saw Sister Claire hugged the sobbing Rebecca, yelling at Rawls, looking very angry.

It turned out that after Aunt Claire woke up Rebecca, she found that her lover was bleeding and had three large bumps on her forehead, so she immediately asked Rebecca who bullied her.

When Rebecca sobbed and explained the cause and effect of this turmoil, Sister Claire was even more furious. If Master Rawls hadn't stopped him, she would have personally punished Thomas and Joan, and would have sent these two "little rascals" Transformed into a pig, she vented her anger on her precious apprentice.

Master Rawls was all smiles, pleading for the two new students.

Rebecca also persuaded Aunt Clare to calm down, and blamed herself, "It's all my fault that I couldn't control my hair, and almost hurt someone else."

"You silly girl, you can't be polite to those bastards, otherwise they will pester you shamelessly!"

Hearing Sister Claire's angry reprimand, Joann gave Thomas an angry look.

Thanks to this playboy, he has also become a scoundrel in the eyes of others, chasing girls and stalking them to death. What a great injustice!

Sister Clare was not so easy to calm down. Master Rawls had to call Thomas and Joan over and ask them to apologize to Rebecca in person.

There was panic in Rebecca's eyes, but she still managed to smile at the two "bad boys", accepting their apology.

The turmoil finally calmed down, but Qiao An's heart was still not calm.

Ever since he saw Rebecca's weird long hair for the first time, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

At first he thought that Rebecca was attacking Thomas by manipulating her hair with magic, so he wanted to knock her out and force her to stop casting spells and concentrate.

However, after Rebecca passed out, the long hair would continue to attack and actively protect Rebecca. From this, it can be seen that this is probably not the effect of a spell, but more like the external characteristics of the strange blood—like the back of his neck. that eye.

Joan also noticed that after Rebecca woke up, she didn't pay attention to Thomas who caused the turmoil. Instead, she peeked at herself from time to time, and seemed to sense a blood power similar to hers from herself.

Do you want to take the initiative to talk to Rebecca?

This idea appeared in Joan's mind, but he dismissed it immediately.

For an extremely introverted and withdrawn person like him, letting him take the initiative to strike up a conversation with a beautiful girl is simply more uncomfortable than killing him. What's more, Rebecca is not only the "gifted girl" that the whole school pays attention to, but also an extremely dangerous "bomb" that cannot be controlled by herself-the experience of Thomas just now is a lesson for the past.

Qiao An was afraid of trouble the most in his life, and today's turmoil has sounded the alarm for him. In order to finish his studies safely, it is best not to get involved with troublesome people like Rebecca.

...

Leiden College has a public canteen that provides simple meals. Although the taste of the food is average, it is cheaper than restaurants outside.

Students from poor families like Joan usually eat in the cafeteria, while students from better families prefer to have dinner in small restaurants near the school.

As for Thomas Chap and Edward Gates, young masters of wealthy aristocratic backgrounds, since they are not used to the meals in the school cafeteria with clear soup and little water, their families are worried that they frequently go to those dirty small restaurants for fear of eating. He got a stomachache from unclean things, so he specially sent the cook and personal servants to the school to serve the young master's food and daily life.

The school also considers the special needs of individual students and provides dormitories divided into two levels.

The first type of dormitory is just an ordinary single room, which is similar to the cheapest hotel room. There is no other furniture in the room except a bed, a table and chairs, and the rent is very cheap.

The second type of dormitory is much more luxurious, equivalent to a high-end suite in a hotel, and the rent is of course much more expensive than the former type of dormitory.

For the convenience of teaching, most of the dormitories of the students are adjacent to the teaching buildings of this major, and the Austrian Law Branch is no exception.

The dormitory shared by Joan, Thomas, and Edward is a small two-story building. Open the window and you can see the majestic castle-like teaching building opposite.

This dormitory building is more like a country house from the outside to the inside. The second and first floors are luxurious suites with separate bathrooms, kitchens and servant rooms. The annual rent is 1,000 Gold Duga; the basement and attic are dark It is narrow and can only accommodate one person, and the annual rent is only 200 gold duga.

Joan couldn't afford to live in a suite. After carefully comparing the basement and the attic, he finally decided to rent the attic. Mainly because the attic is quieter and not as damp as the basement, where rats and roaches swarm.

Thomas rented a suite on the second floor. After shopping around, he said that the room was too big, and it was possible to separate a room for Joan to live with him.

Joan didn't want to take advantage of him, so he rejected his offer in the most tactful way possible. However, under Thomas's repeated pleading, Joan reluctantly agreed to go downstairs to eat with him often, because Thomas claimed to be a "man who can't bear loneliness", and eating alone was simply desolate for him.

Just as Joan was about to clean the attic, an open carriage filled with gorgeous furniture stopped outside the door of the dormitory.

Poppy, Thomas's valet—the dark-skinned boy Joanne had seen at the station that morning—jumped out of the carriage, and then two strong men, also in Chap's livery, were ordered to Come to move for Master Thomas.

Joan saw Bobby being beaten and scolded by Thomas at the station before, and felt wronged for him. Looking down from the attic window at this moment, I saw Bobby standing on the steps with his hips tucked in, directing the two older and stronger servants to move furniture and salute, scolding them impatiently for their clumsiness and demeanor. Much like his little master Thomas.

What he saw made Joan realize that Bobby, as Master Thomas's personal servant, even though he was also a servant of the Chap family, had a much higher status than ordinary servants. No wonder when Thomas threatened to sell him , Bobby cried out in fright.

The second floor was originally fully furnished, but compared with the furniture Thomas brought from his own home, it was too shabby. When Bobby asked the owner what the original furniture in the dormitory needed to be preserved, Thomas sat on the sofa and flipped through the newspaper, without bothering to lift his eyelids, and replied flatly:

"I don't want things used by others, throw them all out."

Bobby seemed not surprised by the master's reply, and ordered his servants to move the furniture downstairs one by one and replace them with new ones.

As for those old furniture, they were all left in the yard waiting for someone from the school to clean them up.

Seeing this scene, Joan felt that it was too wasteful, so she couldn't help but went down to the second floor and asked Thomas if he could buy the furniture he didn't want.

"Is that rubbish worth paying for?" Thomas threw down the newspaper and said with a nonchalant smile, "If you want anything, just take it."
