"Book" quickly scanned the entire test paper, and then wrote the total score of the three subjects at the beginning of the book: seventeen points.
A full hundred percent difference from the final result.
"Hmm... It seems that the problem is with Maisie?" Nana tilted her head.
"Hey, is that the result?" Miyue was greatly disappointed, "Isn't it because the book was deliberately covering up Maisie, using the condition of getting a high score in exchange for honey-sweet barbecue!"
Lily slapped her on the back of the head, "Shut up!"
"Do you want to continue watching?" A-Xia asked timidly, "Would it be better for us to leave here early, or it would be bad if someone found out."
"Wait a minute," Zhu Huo said in a deep voice, "Maybe something went wrong when transcribing."
"No, I already know the result, that's it..." Evelyn shook her head. If it is the original writing method, it is possible to confuse the tightly arranged numbers, but in the universal education promoted by His Majesty Roland, the numbers are replaced by simple and easy-to-remember single-stroke characters, so the chances of admitting mistakes are too slim.
"I think Maisie flew in from the window and stopped the jerky!" Miyue covered her head, "Don't do it, I won't say it."
I saw that "Book" checked all the test papers and began to copy the scores. Until everyone's scores were collected on one sheet, the score in the column of Maisie was still 17 points.
"It doesn't seem to be the problem of Teacher Shujuan," Candlelight let out a sigh of relief.
"Can we go?" A-Xia asked anxiously.
Evelyn was about to respond when Scroll suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the door. The six immediately followed her gaze, and then they noticed that the door was opened at an unknown time, and a city hall apprentice appeared in front of the office door.
"What are they talking about?" Miyue asked.
The illusion has no sound, so everyone can only judge the conversation between the two by the shape of their mouths.
"It seems to be Lord Scroll... Your Excellency Barov... Is there anything I'm looking for?"
Then "Book" nodded and followed the apprentice out of the office.
At the moment when the door was closed, perhaps because of the airflow, a cold wind suddenly rolled up in the house, blowing up everyone's test papers and scattered them on the floor.
"Ah... the window." Lily said stunned.
Evelyn also saw that the previously closed window had been opened with a slit. It can only be said that the scroll did not close the window, and the window was flushed open by the airflow generated by the opening and closing of the door. With the autumn wind outside, the window swayed back and forth, getting wider and wider. Not long after, another strong wind smashed it back to the window frame. Although no sound could be heard, the trembling from the glass It can be seen that the impact force is not small.
A jaw-dropping scene happened.
The airflow swept across the office again, scraping the pen holder onto the table, the quill slammed on the mouth of the ink bottle, and immediately flew up. The place where it landed happened to be the score sheet.
The nib of the quill pen landed first, and wiped the grid filled with Maisie's score impartially, leaving a short vertical line, turning the original seventeen points into a three-digit one-hundred and seventeen points.
Someone probably heard the loud noise from the office, and the door was pushed open again. The apprentice who had notified the book to leave first looked around, and then walked in in surprise.
She walked to the window, re-tightened all the windows, then crouched down and packed the office for the scroll.
It was not until all the documents were rearranged and neatly placed on the desk that she walked away with satisfaction.
Is that the case? Evelyn and Candlelight looked at each other.
It was neither a copying error of the book nor Maisie's intention to deceive people, but was caused by an accidental wind
Evelyn could already guess what happened next. Scroll received the order of His Majesty's envoy, Changge, and handed the score sheet to Wendy. Wendy was not a scorer, even if she was confused by Maisie's score, Nor will it question the judgment of the scroll.
"Ha, with Miyue's insistence, the truth was finally discovered," Miyue raised her head and said, "The culprit is... Teacher Shujuan!"
"It's the wind!" Lily gritted her teeth.
"But if the window is closed for the book, the wind won't mess up the test paper and blow the quill away, right?"
"How can you say that!"
"That's not right," Nana pondered. "If you say that, it should be the fault of His Royal Highness Roland. He built the new city hall here, not only enlarged it, but also built two more floors. With the extra second floor, it is impossible for the scroll to be judged here."
"Uh... You are right, so the culprit is His Majesty Roland?"
"Enough!"
"Excuse me... Can I end it?" A-Xia looked like she was about to cry.
"Sorry, it's alright," Evelyn patted her shoulder. "Thank you, let's go."
"Hey, let's go? Maybe we can find the papers for the next quiz in the book's office?" Miyue stopped in front of everyone.
"That's the real purpose of your coming here!" Lily rushed up, "I won't let you mess around!"
"I-I'm just talking!"
…
In the end, the investigation ended like a farce. After saying goodbye to Candlelight, Evelyn returned to the witch building alone.
Although the truth was revealed, her mood could not be calmed down at all.
For some unknown reason, the flying paper and the falling quill kept appearing in her mind that the trajectories of the two were irregular, but at the last moment, they formed a clever and perfect result.
Not only the paper and pen, the airflow driven by the door, and the time the apprentice enters and exits are all components of this result. Without any of the conditions, the score cannot be changed.
Yet these conditions are unconscious and confusing.
That being said, the same goes for bartending.
Add various raw materials to the wine, but you will not feel each taste in turn when you taste it. They are combined and influenced by each other in the wine. Every taste that can be accepted by people requires countless attempts, and sometimes once Accidental combination creates those unique flavors.
Evelyn couldn't help but think of the microscopic balls that His Majesty Roland said they were always making disorderly disturbances. Each one seemed irrelevant, but on the whole it could express wonderful characters.
She closed her eyes and felt something coming out of her heart.
The world is full of chaos.
But in the chaos lies the result.
It's like it's destined somewhere.
Evelyn snapped her eyes open and reached for the water glass on the table.
The cold water that had been in it for a day formed a ring of ripples, and then the color changed, like a drop of paint poured into it, the water surface gradually turned orange-red, and a fragrance that had never been smelled floated into her nose.
She hesitated for a moment, then stuck out her tongue and licked it.
The indescribable sweetness suddenly filled her tongue and the mouth was slightly astringent, but the strong and mellow sweetness was not comparable to any kind of drink.
It was like a mixture of juice and milk, or a mixture of tea and honey. Evelyn couldn't describe the taste exactly, but she was sure of one thing.
It's definitely not wine.
