Ludwig had finished eating the red fish hot beef pie in his hand. He squatted in front of a street bench, took out a pen and a notebook from his red hard book bag, and began writing his post-meal impressions with focus and seriousness.
Watching in the shadows, Lumian pursed his lips.
You say you're afraid, but your body instinctively repeats the habits formed in the Church of Knowledge…
If there weren't so many exams and studies, you might have become a qualified believer of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom…
While mocking Ludwig, Lumian surveyed the surrounding citizens.
His gaze passed over a young man quietly reading a book in the café across the street, over a middle-aged scholar standing at the intersection observing passersby and carriages without crossing, and landed on a painter who had set up his easel under an Intis parasol tree, blankly painting the street scene.
