Mond's world view was certainly affected a little bit, but only a little bit. After all, the other party was just a young nobleman who grew up in a remote area. If Paul's words were spoken by Mentor of Mond, the effect would be completely different, and his worldview might collapse.

"Novel point of view." Mond commented.

"I would venture to summarize your point of view - the hero is just Practitioners of the People's Will, and it is the general public who determine the direction of history."

Paul nodded. "That's it, he is worthy of being a person from Scholar's Tower."

Although Mond doesn't agree with it in his heart, this young lord does have some insightful views on history.

"You really should follow me back to the Gabella Empire. In Scholar's Tower, Lord Earl will definitely have more room for development - I am more direct, please don't mind - continue to study history, maybe you can build a new School of Historiography."

Although the other party repeatedly emphasized that he only heard what others said, Mond knew that since Paul didn't mention his name or surname, he was most likely telling the truth about others.

"Me? Haha, forget it."

Paul waved his hands in embarrassment and said with a smile, "It's okay to read some miscellaneous books in my free time. You really want me to concentrate on studying knowledge, and you want to kill me?"

What's more, he has more important things in his hometown. Rather than looking back at the past, Paul prefers to look forward to the future.

Mond stood up and said, "Well, Lord Earl, I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time. I won't interrupt you for now."

He felt it was time to end this conversation. The purpose of coming had been achieved. Kevin's parents were still at home anxiously waiting for news about their son.

"Where is it? It makes me happy to talk to a knowledgeable person like you. Welcome to come again next time."

Paul stood up to see off the guests. He called a guard to explain a few words.

"Mr. Langdon, just ask him to take you to the cell to pick him up. Don't forget to pay the bail."

"Haha, please rest assured, Lord Earl, and thank you again for your kindness."

After the two exchanged some pleasantries, Mond followed the guards outside.

At this time, a voice came from outside. "Paul, this is my preliminary coding plan, take a look."

The sweet voice like a silver bell carries a hint of pride and credit.

He knew who was coming as soon as he heard it, and sure enough, the next moment the pretty figure of Miss "Betty" flashed in the door frame.

Then she froze...

As she was walking out, Mond Landon, who was face to face with her, was also stunned.

Both of them had an incredible look on their faces.

"House..."

In a few seconds, Mond will blurt out.

"Uh-huh!" Irene immediately interrupted Mond. At the same time, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she rushed to say, "I didn't expect that I, Betty Diaz, could meet people from my hometown in this place. How did you get here, senior Mond Landon?"

"Betty Diaz?"

After muttering something softly, Mond was scratching his head when he saw the other party wink at him.

He reacted immediately, smiled and touched the back of his head and said, "Oh, I didn't expect to meet Betty school girl here. Haha, I came here to pick up a child he likes for Mentor."

Paul was puzzled by their performance just now, but now he suddenly realized. "You two know each other? That's a coincidence. Oh, by the way, you are both Gabellans."

Mond Landon calls Betty a school girl, so this female scholar is also a descendant of Scholar's Tower from Gabella Imperial Capital? Holy shit, it turns out I have such an awesome person? This is simply like a small boss of a township enterprise recruiting a talented student who graduated from Tsinghua University and Peking University.

The way Paul looked at Irene was instantly different. In the past, he only regarded her as an aristocratic lady who knew some linguistics. He even appointed her as the acting education director because he could not find any other suitable candidate.

"Yes, we know each other."

Irene took the initiative to explain, "I once studied at Scholar's Tower, and I was very lucky to get the same professor from Mentor as my senior Mond."

Paul nodded. "I see, so now you...?"

He looked at Irene, then at Mond.

Irene stopped smiling and returned to the serious expression he had maintained for the past few days, "Business matters are important, I will report to you first."

Then she turned to Mond: "Senior, if you are not in a hurry to leave, you can wait for me for a while. I will talk to the Earl about my work before I talk to you about old times."

"Uh... Okay, then I'll go shopping on the street outside first."

"In one hour, senior, you can wait for me at the restaurant called [Flying Dragon Pavilion] on the street."

Mond responded and walked outside, but there was still a dazed expression on his face.

Irene then approached Paul and handed him a piece of information.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this draft."

Paul stared at the draft, flipping through it, and asked absently, "I said Betty, you and him... are Mr. Mond Landon, are they just... just a relationship between a senior and a junior?"

Irene said strangely, "That's right, he and I are just junior girls and seniors..."

She suddenly understood what Paul meant, and two red clouds immediately appeared on her cheeks, and she said with embarrassment and annoyance, "Sir Paul Greiman! When did you become so fond of gossip? Please concentrate on the work in front of you, and don't think about things that are not there."

"Ah! Sorry, I just want to look good now!"

An hour later, Irene came to the Flying Dragon Pavilion.

The boss lady Shelah Setia came up to us. "Hey! Isn't this little Betty? I heard from my Laddie that you have been very busy these days."

After arriving at Lakeheart Town with her daughter, Mrs. Setia returned to her old business and ran a restaurant. The name of the restaurant continued from [Flying Dragon Pavilion] in her hometown Messiah. Lakeheart Town Residents and business travelers traveling here have never tasted Kok Wan cuisine. The unfamiliar cuisine and very affordable prices have made the restaurant's business extremely booming.

They are about the same age, both are women, both scholars, both are foreigners, and they work together in the Lord's Manor, so Irene and Laddie have a close relationship in private. Irene often visits Laddie's house, and over time he and Shelah become very familiar with each other.

Irene greeted politely, "Good day, Aunt Setia."

She explained the purpose of her visit, "I came today to meet a friend... who is from my hometown."

Then describe Mond Landon's appearance and clothing.

"Oh, it turns out that the person Mr. Scholar is waiting for is you."

Shelah understood and led Irene to a private room, where sat a young man in a simple blue robe. It was Mond Landon who had visited Paul before.

"You two fellows, just take your time and chat." After saying that, the landlady closed the door and left.

"Your Highness, why are you here at Northwest Bay?"

Mond still had a bit of surprise on his face.
