"Xiao Xiao started selling arms with his father when he was five years old. By the age of ten, he was already capable of handling things independently. At the age of twelve, he was arrested by the Imperial Alliance with an army of 100,000."
After listening to Xu Wang's explanation, Feng Guang remained silent for a long time before finally closing his jaw. "Then... if he's a prisoner, how can he just walk out of this prison?"
“For every batch of weapons he’s hidden that he provides to the Alliance, he gets a privilege. It’s not difficult for him to go out and about if he wants to.” Xu Wang’s tone was calm, not like he was just stating a load of nonsense.
Feng Guang raised a hand to his forehead, taking a moment to accept this realization. "Are all the kids here this... amazing?"
She originally wanted to say "awesome," but then thought it wouldn't be very polite in front of Xu Wang, so she changed it to "amazing."
Xu Wang smiled slightly, "Not entirely."
Judging from his tone, there must be quite a few kids like that?
Feng Guang turned his back and sighed heavily.
"Miss Xia, what's wrong?"
"I just... thought back to when I was thirteen."
"oh?"
"Then I realized that I couldn't remember a single thing I did that would get a like."
Xu Wang kindly comforted her, "This is not Miss Xia's fault."
Feng Guang turned around again, blinking sadly, "Thank you for your comfort, but... it's not good for me to stay here for nothing. Is there anything I can do? I can mop the floor or do the laundry."
Ideally, it would be a job that gives her a reason to walk around.
"I heard that Miss Xia comes from Earth thousands of years ago?"
Feng Guang guessed that Xiao Xiao must have told him about this, so she simply nodded honestly, "That's right."
"Then I do have some things here that I need Miss Xia's help with."
Thousands of years later, humans are no longer accustomed to reading paper books, but in this study in the castle, all the books are paper books.
Feng Guang followed Xu Wang to a bookshelf and watched as he took a book down from the shelf. The cover was yellowed, so it must have been quite old.
Xu Wang said, "I am very interested in studying the cultures of ancient Earth. This is a book I came across by chance, and it is written in ancient script. I would like to ask Miss Xia to translate it for me. I wonder if that would be possible?"
"Of course." Feng Guang took the book from his hand. She saw the words "Stray Birds" written on the book. She suddenly realized that the Chinese characters she usually learned were different from the ones she saw in this world. But she could understand the characters in this world. In other words... she had a cheat code, just like the female protagonist?
Moreover, as time goes by, their languages will certainly change. However, she and Nan Xiaoxiao can communicate with the people here without any problems. Feng Guang silently thanked Nan Xiaoxiao in her heart. It was fortunate that she was in this world with the female lead. Otherwise, she might have had to spend points to get the option to overcome communication barriers.
But her joy was short-lived. Facing Xu Wang, she felt somewhat embarrassed, "I... I can't write your characters, what should I do?"
Yes, although she can understand what she hears and reads, she can't write.
Xu Wang raised the corners of his lips, "It's alright, Miss Xia, you can tell me, and I'll take notes."
He led her to the desk by the window, and the two sat down facing each other. Paper and pen were already prepared on the table. Xu Wang's slender fingers held the pen, and against the white paper, he looked even more handsome.
Feng Guang was surprised to find that she was actually a hand fetishist and couldn't take her eyes off his hands.
