  Chapter 239 Cambridge life from scratch (Part 1) (5.8K)

  Leilani Escu.

   This is Xu Yun's most difficult character in the 1665 Mavericks dungeon.

  She gave Xu Yun a pile of cow dung when they met, but was shocked by Xu Yun's special punishment.

   According to the deduction results of the halo.

   This girl became more introverted after she left. When she was fifteen, she dropped out of school and went out to work.

  When he was nineteen years old, he went to the Netherlands to find himself, but unfortunately died in a shipwreck at sea.

Of course.

Again.

  When Xu Yun met Lilani, this brat was only five years old, the size of a peacock.

   Therefore, Lilani's affection for Xu Yun is obviously not a liking in the sense of an adult.

  Mainly at that point in time, William and his wife had been worrying about losing goods and had no time to care about their daughter.

   As for the sisters, Elura and Andrea, they formed a small circle of twins.

  The eldest sister, Lisa, is obsessed with chatting with the calf.

   Therefore, Lilani's social circle is actually very closed, and no one understands or even cares about her.

  This is also a major factor for her to become a bear child—to put it bluntly, she hopes to gain approval through rebellion.

  In this context, Xu Yun's "punishment" for Lilani is really different.

   So much so that it left an indelible mark on Lilani's young heart.

  Therefore many factors superimposed, causing Xu Yun to become an indelible obsession in Lilani's heart.

  If you want to say how much Lilani likes or even ‘loves’ Xu Yun, it is obviously impossible—unless the brat is also a reborn, a five-year-old girl cannot understand what love is.

   This kind of situation is not uncommon in later generations. For example, Xu Yun himself remembered a "benefactor":

  It was when he was in the first and second grades of elementary school, and he saved up his pocket money for a whole week to buy a very expensive kite.

   As a result, on the way home, I was 'robbed' by another group of children in their early teens—don't think it's funny, anyone who has experienced security in the last century knows that children in their teens are all carrying knives.

  At that time, a big brother in military uniform came to drive away those brats, and that scene left an indelible impression on Xu Yun's heart.

  Later, Xu Yun would choose to study at HKUST, enter Chengfei after graduation, and even like to wear red when writing books. Most of them were influenced by the big brother in the army.

be honest.

  Xu Yun has long forgotten the appearance of the other party, and even if the other party appears in front of him, he may not be able to recognize him.

But on the other hand.

  The whole incident has already been turned into a symbol, which is firmly imprinted deep in Xu Yun's heart, and will never be forgotten in this life.

   As someone who has had similar experiences, Xu Yun can fully understand Lilani's thoughts.

   And because of this.

  He has always had grievances about Lilani's death.

   It’s such a relief to know now that Lilani has changed since receiving that letter, married and had children.

   As for the regrets caused by the other party's marriage?

nonexistent.

  Lilani was only a five-year-old girl at the time, her whole body was dirty from playing around, and her face was hardly visible.

  If Xu Yun doesn't even let this little girl go, then there is probably something wrong with his mind.

and many more!

   While feeling comforted in his heart, another thought suddenly popped up in Xu Yun's mind:

  If Avelyn is a descendant of Lilani, doesn’t that mean

  She can be her own creditor? ? ? ?

  Perhaps from the point of view of the local people, the family branches after a hundred years should not have the right of inheritance in theory.

   But don't forget.

  This is Europe, a place that can be called a chowder pot.

  So things like collateral inheritance rights are hardly common in Europe.

  The most representative one is the grievances between Scotland and England mentioned before:

  After the death of Elizabeth I, her successor was her grand-nephew, King James VI of Scotland.

To know.

  The blood relationship between the two is actually almost a hundred years apart by seven generations.

  So from the legal point of view of the UK, Avelyn is fully qualified to inherit the Mavericks' claims.

  Xu Yun:

  “.”

  William Whewell obviously also saw that Xu Yun had realized this, and the expression on his face became brighter:

   "Student Luo Feng, after becoming an adult three years ago, Avelyn has become the sole heir to Sir Newton's legacy."

   "By the way, this is a qualification jointly recognized by the Royal Society and the British Royal Family."

   "So according to the succession of creditor's rights in the law of succession"

  Whewell took out a piece of clean parchment from his body, and put it in front of Xu Yun together with a pen, with an old fox's sinister smile on his face:

   "Student Luo Feng, please write the IOU. I can make the decision. I just need to pay off the money within fifty years."

  Xu Yun continued: "."

  Seeing this, Avelyn couldn't help but slightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

  William Whewell's approach is legally compliant, but logically it makes her, the client, a little confused.

  It’s like in 2022, one day you were called into the office by the teacher, and the principal pointed to a peer and said that he owed you 100 million

   What do you think about it?

  There is no doubt that compared with excitement and expectation, the proportion of speechless and incomprehensible is obviously higher.

   Leaving aside other issues, let’s just talk about the amount owed—is it easy to pay 100 million?

   This is a real deal, and it's not the happy beans of Doudizhu.

  So Avelyn really has no intuitive concept of this amount.

   Not to mention that this debt is actually a entanglement between Mavericks and Fat Yu, and has nothing to do with her collateral after a hundred years.

   So she opened her mouth to say something.

   But before she could speak, Xu Yun sighed and picked up the pen before her.

  Wrote the amount and his name Luo Feng on the IOU.

  Aveline's mouth twitched: "."

  Is this Oriental out of his mind?

  This tm is 140,000 pounds!

  Although Mavericks’ debt is legally correct, as long as Xu Yun persists, it is impossible for Dean Whewell to sue.

   I don’t know if Mr. Fat Yu was alive in heaven, would he be so angry that he would lift the coffin panels?

  William Whewell was also a little surprised by Xu Yun's straightforwardness.

  The purpose of his invitation to Avelyn was actually to allocate dormitories. He originally planned to accept the IOU when Xu Yun couldn't hold on any longer.

  Who knew that this young man was so stubborn that he would be in debt?

   As a result, Whewell felt less than subtle emotions in his heart - there was speechlessness, but also a trace of guilt.

all in all.

  At this point in the matter, no matter which side has nothing to say.

  Afterwards, William Whewell explained some things to Thomson, and asked Avelyn to take Xu Yun and the others to the dormitory.

   On the way to leave the office and go to the dormitory, Aveline ignored the wheat beside her and asked Xu Yun:

   "Mr. Luo Feng, why did you sign the IOU?"

   "You should know that although the debt is legally correct, it is absolutely impossible for Dean William Whewell to sue for enforcement."

  Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then shrugged at the girl without explaining too much.

  Of course he knows what Avelyn means. There won't be too many things of a similar nature in 2022.

  Don’t talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the online literature circle.

  A contractual provision at a certain point.

  If the work is not completed normally, the website has the right to trace the responsibility of the author, and even sue the author for compensation.

   But regulations are one thing, reality is another:

  The platform mostly ignores the father-in-law who cut the book, and almost never has a case of retroactive liability.

  William Whewell is the same reason.

  Xu Yun looked like a poor guy who couldn't afford much money. If he sued Xu Yun, he would lose the face of himself and Cambridge University.

  But the truth is this, for Xu Yun, signing the IOU is better than not signing it.

   First, there is the question of William Whewell's impression.

  After Mai proposed to live with him just now, William Whewell was obviously a little upset because the plan was disrupted.

   This is a bit like an old father in later generations watching his daughter not develop according to his own plan, but mixed with a son-in-law with bad feet.

  If he doesn't let him vent his anger, his situation at Cambridge University will be very cramped.

   After all, what Xu Yun is going to accomplish this time is a phased task, and he is destined to deal with Cambridge University.

   Now that he has signed the IOU, William Whewell's attitude has obviously eased a lot.

  If he can maintain a fairly good relationship with William Whewell, it will be beneficial to his long-term development.

  The second reason is Aveline.

  Aveline is a descendant of Lilani, what do you say when you look at her

  Xu Yun felt as if he was looking at his granddaughter.

  In addition, she is currently the only heir to the Mavericks' property, which is basically equal to the status of the son of the emperor or the descendant of a saint in Cambridge University.

  Being able to talk to her will make Xu Yun's next situation much more comfortable.

   Finally, there is the issue of the amount of the IOU.

  Although the 140,000 pounds seems to be a huge amount, Xu Yun is a hang-up from time travel in 2022.

  If you really use dim sum, 140,000 pounds is not too difficult.

  Evelyn hadn’t appeared before, and William Whewell’s attitude alone wasn’t worth Xu Yun’s choice to pay the debt.

  But when William Whewell adds another weight of Avelyn, then it becomes obvious who is heavier and who is lighter on the scale.

  So based on the above reasons, Xu Yun chose to take over the debt.

  Who made me owe the money back then and agreed to the custody fee for the Mavericks?

  Eight out of ten thousand, usury tmd is not so ruthless T.T.

   Then, while leading the way, Avelyn introduced to Xu Yun and Mai Mai:

   "Cambridge University used to start on October 5th, but due to some changes in the House of Lords this year, the start of the semester was postponed for three weeks."

  Xu Yun and Mai Mai nodded at the same time. Thomson told them about it on the way here.

  The British House of Lords has always enjoyed judicial power. However, in recent years, the United Kingdom has tried to abolish the judicial power of the House of Lords. The main reason is that not all members of the House of Lords are judicial talents, and not every member understands the law.

   Follow the historical trajectory.

   This matter will not end until the establishment of the House of Lords judge system in 1876, so these years have always been a peak period of tearing.

  But thanks to this incident, the start of the Cambridge University semester has been delayed a bit.

   Otherwise, the status of a transfer student will make Xu Yun's situation even more difficult.

   But then again.

   Right now, I have already entered Trinity College, why didn't the task reminder appear?

   Could it be that there are other links that have not been completed?

   Just when Xu Yun was puzzled, Avelyn's introduction continued:

   "Maxwell, Luo Feng."

   "The dormitory for the two of you is located in the postgraduate building behind the chapel, and it is also the best student dormitory in Cambridge."

   "There are many students from other colleges living in that dormitory building. You will meet many outstanding seniors, and you are likely to achieve extraordinary achievements in the future."

   "However, some of them are possible. Well, the personality is rather peculiar, you'd better be mentally prepared."

  Wheat Jiansuo glanced at Avelyn, and asked with a little doubt:

   "Senior Avelyn, what you mean by peculiar personality."

  Aveline's complexion changed a few times, as if recalling some not-so-good scenes, she said with a strange expression:

   "You will understand when you see it."

  Mai let out a dumbfounded cry, and shut up obediently.

   Then Avelyn kept walking, and said:

   "The opening ceremony will be held in four days, and your student badges and gowns will be sent out together."

   "Your course schedule will be notified at that time. There are many courses in the first year of graduate students to be taken together with undergraduates, so the class will not be too deserted."

   "As for the next four days"

   "You can go to the library or classroom to find your way, or you can visit the literary club next to the Bowena statue."

   "If you want to eat, you can go to the town."

   Before Evelyn finished speaking, Thomson next to him interrupted:

   "Leave their three meals to me, and I happen to live in the same building as them."

   Avelyn was stunned for a moment, but nodded quickly:

   "No problem, this is the best."

   The group walked and talked like this, and they didn't encounter too many difficulties in communication.

   Fifteen minutes later.

   Several people stopped outside a building that resembled the word '冂':

  The front of the building is a gorgeous small building with a two-story height and a cross hanging on the top. The horizontal width is about 30 meters.

  There are some windows on the second floor of the small building, which seem to be some rooms with unknown functions.

  The first floor is full of arches, the inside is dark, and the details cannot be seen clearly.

  If you look down from a high altitude.

   The top view is about a rectangle with a length of 30 meters and a width of about 10 meters.

  The two ends of the small building extend vertically from the other two buildings, the one on the left has two floors, and the one on the right has three floors.

  The top view of these three small buildings presents a '冂' shape, and the open space in the middle is a grass field.

  Aveline led Xu Yun and others along a small path in the center of the open space to the end, and entered the first floor of the small cross building.

  After entering the small building, Xu Yun and others discovered that the first floor of the building was empty.

  The other side of the entrance is a thick wall, only slightly decorated.

  There is a staircase at the left and right ends of the small building, and several students are walking on the stairs at this time.

  Aveline first pointed to the stairs, then to the ceiling, and introduced:

   "This building is Fiola's postgraduate dormitory. The two buildings on both sides are bedrooms, the second floor of the middle building is the dining room for parties, and the first floor is the aisle and evacuation passage."

   "You two's room is at 302 on the right, come with me."

   Then, under the guidance of Aveline, a group of people walked slowly up the quaint wooden stairs, and they approached the third floor in a short while.

   Just as he was approaching the entrance of the corridor, Xu Yun faintly heard some voices in his ears.

   It seems that there are people gathered around doing something, making a lot of noise.

   After a few seconds.

  As soon as they turned around the entrance of the corridor, they saw several men standing in the center of the corridor, discussing the objects in their hands with great interest.

soon.

  One of the bald men yelled out a sentence that Xu Yun will never forget in his life:

   "Hey, Milner, this time my socks haven't been washed in six months, they will definitely smell worse than yours!"

Note:

  1. Smelly socks are one of Cambridge’s famous ‘inheritances’.

  2. After the examination, the color ultrasound of the liver has not yet come out. So far, it has been confirmed that there are old problems such as tenosynovitis, fluid in the fingers, a slight curvature of the spine in the waist, and mitral valve regurgitation.

  I had a hunch about the heart, because I was very uncomfortable a few days ago, but fortunately it was not a serious illness. The doctor said it was mild reflux.

  I just finished pumping the effusion today, so I don’t dare to take more sizes, so it’s okay to have two more nights with everyone?

  At the end of the previous four months, every explosive update has been completed or even exceeded, please ask for a wave of credit.

   Asking for a monthly pass, it’s the last day, can it reach 6000?

please!
