Chapter 570: A time of opportunity

"So you are their sister, so your name is Jenny?" Shi Hao asked.

"Well. Doris is afraid that I will be embarrassed when she mentions them. Actually, it's nothing. I have learned a lot in this year. I understand why you want to fight them. I know what is right and wrong according to the views here. Although my brother and sister are nobles, there is nothing wrong. But since you have won, you must use your methods to reform them. There is nothing to complain about, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." Jenny said calmly, "Besides, didn't you all say that after the reform, you can start a new life and integrate into society?"

"Well..." Shi Hao was a little embarrassed. He felt that the innocence of children could sometimes be a very lethal weapon. He didn't know how to respond. "Probably."

He could only answer with a smile.

"In fact, I know that no one will easily accept them. Reconstruction may really change a person's mind, but it is difficult to change his image in the eyes of others." Jenny actually smiled when she said this, "This is something I have experienced. But, if we don't let ourselves think this way, what can we do? Will life be even more difficult?"

Doris heard this and held her hand distressedly.

Jenny’s little hand touched the back of Doris’s hand, “Whether I’m in school or working for a teacher, I work very hard in everything I do, just to make others see my ideas a little better.

"However, I think people's ideas can be changed. At least you have won the respect and love of Miss Doris." Shi Hao said sincerely, "I believe that your brothers and sisters will also make friends like this as long as they really change themselves."

Jenny tried to smile and said, "Thank you."

Shi Hao thought for a while and said, "There is an opportunity here. Your brother has already been given a reduced sentence for his good performance, and he will be released soon. And now, the entire territory of China Tower is recruiting soldiers. You should know that the situation outside is very tense now, and we must have more soldiers to protect ourselves. A soldier with mid-level strength like your brother, if he can actively join the army and gain enough military merits in the future, will definitely change everyone's attitude towards him."

"So will he be joining the war soon?" Jenny asked.

Shi Hao said: "Yes. As long as you join the army, you will definitely have the opportunity to go to the battlefield. This is definitely a dangerous path, but as nobles, aren't you born for war? I think he should not be afraid of such a challenge, right?"

"Of course, even I am not afraid to step onto the battlefield," said Jenny.

Shi Hao and several people around who were listening to them started laughing.

But Doris said, "Don't laugh. Jenny really faced the enemy. She saved Mayor Chen and my life." She couldn't help but talk about the battle with the puppet at that time, and everyone around was amazed.

Shi Hao said, "There is actually such a secret. No matter what others think, I have to tell you that I admire you. Do you know that there are already several newspapers and magazines in Hewan? I think this is a good topic. I can introduce you to my journalist friends. I think many people will be interested in this story."

The journey was safe and sound, and three days later Jenny and Doris finally arrived at the River Bay New City. However, they did not spend much time in this city, and only took a quick look at this magical city that was praised in various territories.

Led by Doris, Jenny visited the industrial area with chimneys, the commercial area that was as prosperous as heaven, the quiet and peaceful residential area, the teaching area full of energetic teachers and students, and the research area full of scientists and magicians. Although the town of Alano was developed according to the standards of River Bay New City in many aspects, there was no doubt that there was still a huge gap in scale and strength. After staying in River Bay New City for a day and obtaining permission to visit prisoners from the municipal government, Jenny and Doris took a crystal car and headed to the second labor camp in the north of the city.

The Second Labor Camp was like a manor owned by a nobleman. It was just that it had a solid wall around it to keep the prisoners inside. Most of the people serving sentences here were not sentenced to long terms and their crimes were relatively minor. As long as they completed the farm work assigned by the camp every day, they would have completed their labor reform tasks for the day. Except for the lack of income, their lives were not much different from those of ordinary farm workers.

When Jenny's application was approved and she was allowed to meet her brother Ackley, she was shocked by his appearance.

The brother who used to be so charming, young and handsome, now sat quietly across the table in plain linen clothes. His face had darkened, and his hands on the table were covered with calluses. The biggest change came from his every move. If he used to have an aristocratic air, now he was full of capable spirit.

Jenny was very sure that the transformation that Shi Hao talked about had actually happened to her brother.

"Jenny!" Ackley was obviously very excited to finally see his biological sister after more than a year. He reached across the table and held Jenny's hand. She could clearly feel the roughness of his hands.

"Are you okay? Do you have anything to eat and drink? Did anyone bully you? Did they really teach you magic later?"

"Brother, don't worry." The little girl's voice was already filled with tears. "I'm fine, really fine. Not only does my teacher teach me very carefully, but I also have someone to take care of my life. I have been living in a boarding school arranged by the government. How about you?"

"Me? That's it. Besides studying, I work. I can read books when I have free time. I can eat well here and learn something. It's not like I've wasted two years. And I've been behaving well. After my sentence is reduced, I should be able to get out in two months."

Jenny said, "Brother, I have already inquired about it. If you apply to join the army here, you can directly apply for early release. Prisoners like you are not eligible to join the army, but you already have mid-level strength, and they are in a stage where they need a lot of people. You have your own opportunity."

Ackley was stunned and asked, "Are you asking me to accumulate military merits?"

Jenny nodded and said, "Yes! Brother became a brave warrior, won honors, and was regarded as a true hero by the people around him. This should be your life."
