Sir! Don't close the net!

Inside the mansion near the Jurassic Circle city wall, the white knight, with the help of a maid, removed his armor. Just as he was about to show his sincerity by inviting Carly and the others to sit on the sofa made by the Cretaceous Circle craftsmen, Carly spoke first.

"How much help can you provide me?"

Carly's behavior was less about being ungrateful and more about being so insane that it nearly made Sherry and her friends' hearts burst.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry—"

"Sir Knight, this...this guy tripped and hit his head earlier, and he's been talking nonsense all of a sudden. Please, please don't take offense!"

To prevent the White Knight from drawing his sword in a fit of rage and causing them to bleed profusely, Sherry, after realizing she couldn't press Carly's head down, immediately bowed deeply and apologized profusely to her companions.

The white knight raised an eyebrow slightly, raised his hand to block the butler's unfriendly expression, looked Carly up and down, then sat on the sofa, turned to the side, and gently tapped his cheek with his index finger.

"Let me introduce myself first, I am Ni..."

Nemo Parr, Earl Wilson's nephew, I want to inherit the earldom, but I want to be Earl Nemo Parr, not Earl Wilson Parr, whose only notable achievement is marrying the king's sister.

Shirley and her friends were full of questions, but their intuition told them that it was best not to interrupt at this time, nor to naively assume that it was their turn to introduce themselves.

"So, do you understand now?" Nemo raised his slender eyebrows slightly, widened his left eye, and narrowed his right eye. "I didn't save you out of boredom."

"I'm not standing here because I'm bored."

Carly clenched her fists, and the madness flashing in her eyes surprised Nemo.

Chapter Thirty-Four is, of course, about opening tutoring classes.

"I'm back--"

Accompanied by a series of crisp bell rings, Rebecca, carrying a bag of books, pushed open the narrower-than-normal store doorway, designed to be narrower than normal due to the cramped and crowded storefront, and squeezed into the clothing store.

"Thank you for your hard work," Anne said with a slight smile as she sat behind the counter.

“It’s alright—after all, you provide food, clothing, and shelter,” Rebecca placed the paper bag containing books in front of Annie, glanced at Li Yili sprawled on the sofa eating bread, and complained irritably, “Unlike some guy—who made me sleep on the grass and eat from a dog bowl.”

Anne was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li Yili. Puss was so shocked that he almost broke the Dio in his hand.

“Ha… The only good thing about dogs is their loyalty. They won’t wag their tails and run away just because someone throws them a sausage,” Li Yili said, resting her chin on her left hand and gently twirling her right index finger. “Miss Rebecca, you haven’t forgotten your identity after wearing these clothes for a few days, have you?”

"You've been wearing these clothes for days?! Hey, hey, hey—"

Puss shouted and rushed to Li Yili, grabbing her collar with both hands and shaking her violently back and forth.

"What exactly is your relationship?!"

“The female dog and her owner,” Li Yili turned her head and took a bite of bread.

“What is this, what is this…”

Puss grabbed Li Yili by the collar and waited for a long time before jumping back, pulling a table in front of Li Yili, and slamming the revolver named Dio onto the center of the table with a loud bang.

"Mr. Yellow Raincoat, I challenge you to a duel!"

“Huh? You’re not thinking that if you win, you’ll end your relationship with Rebecca, are you? Let me make it clear, I don’t dislike this kind of development,” Li Yili put the bread aside, leaned forward, and looked at Rebecca with interest. “Opportunities to confirm someone’s loyalty are rare.”

Rebecca's expression froze. After hesitating for a moment, she moved closer to Li Yili, twisting her hands together in front of her and shaking her head with an embarrassed smile. "No, no!"

Because Li Yili was still smiling brightly, Rebecca immediately turned her head and yelled at Pus.

"Damn it, you fake cowboy, stop causing me this kind of deadly trouble!"

“Ah… I didn’t mean to interfere in your relationship,” Puss blinked, waved his hand, paused for a moment, then muttered under his breath, “Can’t you be a little jealous?”

"Waaah..."

"No way! Damn it—I'm so envious!"

Puss simply stopped pretending, put his cowboy hat aside, put his hands on the table, and started banging his head on the table. But after a few bangs, Puss noticed that no one present was going to stop him. After struggling with himself for a moment, Puss stood up again, whistling, and covered his swollen forehead with his cowboy hat.

"Well—Mr. Yellow Raincoat, you look like the free-spirited type, damn it—I'm really envious."

Puss spat out a curse in frustration, raised his voice, and spoke in an awkward, sarcastic tone.

"Mr. Yellow Raincoat, a comfortable life can't forge an iron will, and without an iron will, you can't contribute to our organization, right, little Miss Anne!"

Pus looked at Annie with anticipation.

“Mr. Yellow Raincoat’s contribution to us is far beyond your imagination,” Anne said, pulling a book out of the paper bag and flipping through it rapidly.

"How could this happen..." Puss let out a weak wail.

“By the way, Miss Rebecca, did you see anything strange today?” Anne nodded, closed the book in her hand, and looked at Rebecca, who was secretly wiping away her sweat.

"If you think it's strange, that's fine."

Anne emphasized it again.

“Well…” Rebecca squeezed next to Li Yili, pinched her chin, and turned her head slightly to the right. “Speaking of which, when I came back, I saw quite a few homeless people graffitiing on the warning signs.”

"Graffiti... huh? Ha..." Annie sighed deeply, rubbing her forehead. "Anything else?"

“That’s it…” Rebecca blinked, hesitated for a moment, then scratched her face and complained, “To be honest, everything here seems very strange to me.”

“Including clothing, right?” Li Yili added with a smile, “but I think you’re already used to it.”

"No, there's no other way!" Rebecca cried out, covering her clothes and blushing. "You come four or five times a day, I can't just stay naked all the time! It's so cold!"

Puss covered his head and turned away.

“Miss Rebecca, I think I understand what you mean, really.”

Annie pinched the bridge of her nose.

After thinking for a while, he put the books on the counter back into the paper bag, hung it on the hook on the side of the wheelchair, and straightened his expression.

"The gears have already started turning, and it's time for us to take action."

"Oh--"

Li Yili immediately put down her crossed legs, and her eyes gleamed.

For the past few days, he had been observing Anne, trying to figure out how this little Miss Anne was going to do her thing. But after observing for several days, he hadn't seen any other members of the resistance organization besides Puss. Anne sat behind the counter every day, flipping through the books that Rebecca and Puss had brought back.

Even Aditi, who had been relatively unknown, perked up.

Anne smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Yellow Raincoat, we need your help with this."

After saying that, Annie pushed the wheelchair away from the clothing store, leading Li Yili and the others deeper into the crowded Diagon Alley. Along the way, Li Yili keenly noticed the unusual behavior of the residents moving through Diagon Alley.

The scene appeared chaotic and congested, with everyone going their own way, but in reality, it was divided into two groups. One group was walking out along rather casual routes, occasionally stopping in front of shops. The other group was weaving through these casual routes, not stopping in front of any shops, but heading deeper into Diagon Alley, while they were being swept along by the inward flow of people.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a wall covered with vines appeared in front of them.

Rebecca was stunned. She raised her hand to indicate the height of the wall, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Li Yili paused, turned her head to look, and although it was very subtle, it was a slope, but the crowded and narrow Diagon Alley and the unevenly packed buildings concealed this fact.

“Turn here,” Puss said, adjusting his hat and pointing to the dark passageways on either side of the wall.

“Hiding so well, little Miss Anne, I’m starting to doubt your earlier claim of having no plan at all,” Li Yili said, chin in hand, standing still with her eyes slightly narrowed. “What are you doing here…?”

"Of course..."

Anne turned her head slightly and smiled.

"Open a tutoring center."

Chapter Thirty-Five: He proved the road existed.

When Li Yili saw the non-existent space created by the arrangement of buildings, she considered many possibilities.

After all, they are a resistance organization; how could they be completely unprepared?

Perhaps weapons were hidden there, perhaps tunnels were being dug over the city walls, perhaps something was being used to alter the location, but Li Yili never imagined that Annie would be teaching in this newly created, non-existent space.

Looking at Annie, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away, holding a tree in her left hand and tapping various formulas on the blackboard with a pointer in her right hand, Li Yili subconsciously raised her hand and scratched the back of her head.

“Mr. Yellow Raincoat, you seem a bit caught off guard,” Puss said, pressing his cowboy hat down his head, a smug smile playing on his lips. “You didn’t think we were hiding weapons here, did you?”

“Although I don’t think little Miss Anne would make such a foolish decision, well, well—I admit… I never thought she would teach here either,” Li Yili squatted down, raised her hands above her head, and grinned helplessly.

“Little Miss Anne once said this,” Puss crouched down and waved his hat in Anne’s direction, “[The wasteland is a disgusting place. They talk about fairness and opportunity, but they build walls and are more interested in keeping others out than improving themselves.]”

"Blocking thought and cutting off learning opportunities for those outside the Great Firewall."

Princeton paused and shrugged.

"[But fortunately, they seemed to think that the walls were enough, and even more fortunately, their actions gave us the opportunity to cross them with dignity.]"

"Learning can change your life."

“Unbelievable…” Li Yili rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Annie, who looked incredibly serene in front of the blackboard.

He recalled Anne's appearance a few days earlier, when she faced the fire and declared she would launch a revolution to destroy the old world.

Anne was serious, and now, looking at the scene before him, he was certain once again that Anne was serious.

Li Yili then looked at the students below the podium. Some were fifty or sixty years old, while others were only eleven or twelve. They were gathered in this non-existent space, listening to the lecture by the girl without legs. By the faint light falling from above, they copied the contents of the blackboard stroke by stroke.

"Let me tell you upfront, if you laugh at little Miss Anne, I, I'll challenge you to a duel, I mean it," Puss warned.

“Why would I laugh at her?” Li Yili asked rhetorically, placing her hands on her knees as she stood up, crossing her arms and sighing, “Perhaps greatness exists for people like little Miss Anne. It’s also thanks to her that she could think of… no, I should say that she was actually willing to do something that everyone knows about but avoids.”

The walls and class system hidden in the wasteland are not the cause of the Cult of Steam and Steel. Rather, it is the arrogance of the royal family and nobles, along with the cruel ideas of the Cult of Steam and Steel, that have merged and taken root, leading to the current state of the wasteland.

But just as the royal family would run out of the capital, Millennium, to show off their power, the Cult of Steam and Steel is also investing in possibilities.

Every month, various events are held in the church of the Church of the God of Steam and Steel.

Such an exam, if you reach the passing score of the Church of Steam and Steel, or if your idea is approved by the Church of Steam and Steel, you can cross the city wall. As long as you can pass all the tests, regardless of your identity, you will have the opportunity to study at Arkham University.

However, under the deliberate influence of the royal family, the residents of the Triassic Circle not only did not receive a good education, but were also instilled with a deep-rooted inferiority complex that "we Triassic Circle people are genetically inferior people from the wasteland, and we are not even as good as the worst people in the Jurassic Circle."

But little Anne chose this rebellious revolutionary path.

“Because someone did it three years ago,” Puss said, spreading his hands. “He went to church in the morning and moved into a dormitory at Arkham University in the evening with a fake-looking forged ID. Little Anne always talked about him. I was so jealous.”

Li Yili's expression stiffened for a moment before she turned her face away. "That's just an exception. People are different."

"Ah~ the point isn't how smart this person is, but that he walked into the church and asked for an exam paper when no one else was taking the Triassic exam," Puss stood up and adjusted his cowboy hat. "He proved the path, showing the Triassic people that this path exists, and it's not just a pie in the sky painted by the Church of Steam and Steel. But most people still choose... well, ignore it, and spend all day wallowing in self-pity."

"Little Anne greatly admires this man's courage and confidence."

"As for what this person did afterward and where he went, little Anne has always avoided talking about it, but I can understand it. If I keep watching, I can find another reason to give up."

Puss raised a finger and bent it towards Li Yili.

“That’s true,” Li Yili said, lowering her hands from her front to her waist. “However, I think I understand what little Miss Anne wants me to do. I’ll go out for a bit, Rebecca stays here.”
