A brave man may not live, but he cannot die

Chapter 38: The Story of Amemiya
By the time Quinn returned to Sewell, the rain had stopped.

The drizzle washed away the haze on the streets. The sky after the rain was a charming orange-red. The sun peeked out from the horizon, and the colors of the sunlight and the clouds blended together, like an oil painter's palette.

On the street you can see some children running around a worn-out leather ball, and adults are also on their way home. They walk particularly slowly, wanting to enjoy the dust-free air for a while longer.

Quinn pushed open the iron gate of the apartment, greeted the old gatekeeper, and walked upstairs.

He bought enough bread to last him half a month, some cheap coffee beans with unknown production dates, a few cans of oranges and tomatoes, and half a pound of beef jerky.

Bread filled his stomach, canned food provided vitamins, and beef provided protein. All together, it cost 2 silver coins and 13 pence, with the beef and canned food accounting for 2 silver coins. Common Earth foods like eggs and milk were ridiculously expensive in Eswell, and fresh vegetables weren't cheap either—though there were some that were cheaper, but Quinn didn't dare buy the cheap meats and vegetables because they looked like something the Dark Cuisine world would enjoy.

加上买书花掉的3金镑，奎恩目前的存款还剩6金镑7银币87便士，而每个月需要缴2金镑5银币的房租，算下来还能再生活三个月左右。

The first thing he did when he got home was to write a letter to inform Ankuya that he had been hired by Grindelwald.

Fold the letter, light it until it turns into ashes, recite a prayer, and scatter it out of the window, watching the wind blow the dust away.

Ankua's familiar is a gust of wind.

He said that this kind of spirit is called a "nature spirit" and that everything commonly seen in nature could become a nature spirit. Most of them have a neutral or friendly attitude towards humans, so they will not be hunted down and eliminated by the church as evil spirits.

Quinn can summon Ankua's familiar anytime and anywhere through prayer, but there are some restrictions. For example, it cannot be summoned in a ventilated room, underground, or in a cave. It will also not come in high temperatures, which the wind dislikes.
After mailing the letter, Quinn made a cup of coffee and tore open the oil paper cover of the book.

His eyes were a little dazed.

The system predicted that the location of the incident was in Amamiya Ningning's office.

The prerequisite was that he had to go to Grindelwald Academy again, which had now come true.

Along with the admission letter, there was also a train ticket.

The most common ticket type at Ashwell Railway Station is valid all day on April 4st. Train number 1, destination Mirror Lake, takes 000 minutes.

April 1st is the last day of the system divination period.

If nothing happens that day, he will receive a reward related to the event.

What could the groove-related reward be? A fairy wand? Durex? Birth control pills?
Get the reward and start another game, right?

The situation had become like that in one day, and there were other things to consider when starting work. Ankuya said there was also an opening ceremony that day.
Quinn still didn't believe it.

Regardless of Amamiya Ningning's appearance, he was not one to indulge his desires. Although Quinn admitted that Amamiya Ningning's appearance was indeed in line with his aesthetic taste, when a beauty of this level took the initiative to come to him, Quinn's first reaction was definitely a honey trap.

He was very clear about his appearance. Although he was not ugly and looked good after dressing up, he could not compare with Ankuya, a handsome man who could attract all women. Quinn did not think that Amamiya Ningning would fall in love with him at first sight or anything like that. He immediately got angry and had to start a game, but then again...
The choice of teaching assistant is up to the teacher, but she chose herself
Quinn's written test score should be full marks, enough to stand out from the crowd, but since Amamiya Ningning already knew that Ankua helped with cheating, she would definitely guess that there was something fishy about the written test score, and full marks would not be a bonus but a deduction.

Ankuya didn't elaborate on his friendship with Amamiya Ningning, but it shouldn't be that good, otherwise he would have just said hello and let Quinn be admitted without taking the entrance exam. Obviously, it wasn't because of Ankuya.
Could it be that she really fell in love with him at first sight? Quinn immediately laughed at himself. Pu Xinnan was really stupid.

Then there is only one possibility left—Amamiya Ningning really divined something.

What she divined was enough to make her ignore Ankua's influence, ignore Quinn's cheating, and even ignore the fact that Quinn was a Muggle, and get close to Quinn to find out the truth.

That shouldn’t be the case. Big sister, are you really more awesome than the sun god?

Quinn shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He would know what Amamiya Ningning wanted to do when the time came.

Anyway, I still have Ankuya and a gun in my pocket, so it shouldn't be difficult to deal with an arcanist who majors in divination.

He lowered his head, looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly his eyes moved.

"The Tale of Amemiya". This was written by the royal family of the East Country, telling the historical story of their ancestor, the fourth hero Amemiya Tetsuno, who slew demons.

The author is Tetsu Amemiya, the third emperor of the Eastern Islands Continental United States, and Tetsuya Amemiya is his great-grandfather.

Amamiya
Quinn tapped the spine of the book. Although Amamiya Ningning's surname was Cavendish, her name also contained the word "Amamiya". She also said that her grandmother was from the East. Black hair and black eyes were the characteristics of the great nobles of the East, mainly referring to the royal family.
The nobles of this world often mix surnames when marrying. Many Southern Continent monarchs have middle names of forty or fifty characters, simply to highlight their noble bloodline. Therefore, Amamiya Ningning is likely the child of a marriage between the Cavendish family and the Eastern Kingdom's royal family.

Could it be that she is the descendant of a fellow villager?
Oh my god, you came from the stars, so she saw something wrong in me?

Quinn carefully recalled the interview that day and felt that there should be no doubt about what he said and did.

He frowned and opened the cover of "The Tale of Amemiya".

In the year 835 of the Divine Calendar, the fourth hero, Tetsuya Amemiya, completed his pilgrimage around Taimuran and set foot on the misty and barbaric land of the Eastern Continental Archipelago. Thus began the grand development of the Far East.

.........

Unlike other heroes, Tetsuya Amemiya was a highly creative leader. His theories, such as "General Relativity," "Amemiya's First Law," "The Foundations of Mechanics," and "A Brief Account of Industry," brought unprecedented development to Tamilan. The First Steam Industrial Revolution, led by him, led to the rapid rise of the East Continent Islands in just fifty years, and the constitutional monarchy he established ensured...

After just two or three pages, Quinn's eyes widened.

Is this fellow a big shot in engineering?
No wonder he always feels a sense of familiarity when he sees gas pipes and steam engines. Isn’t this Earth’s technology?
But if my fellow villagers had already mastered the theoretical foundation six hundred years ago, why are these technological products still so backward today? It's as if the world's development stagnated after Tetsuya Amamiya died, with no progress at all.
Quinn was about to turn the page when he heard a knock on the door.

Ankuya is here so soon?
His expression lit up with joy, and he was about to go over to open the door, but he suddenly stopped.

Dong Dong Dong, Dong Dong Dong.
This was not the knock he and Ankuya had agreed upon.
