For a moment Candib couldn't remember her name, nor was he in the mood to bother thinking about it.In any case, she couldn't expect him to remember. He still said angrily: "You are..." "I'm Nuowei, Master Oblique." She almost said this out of breath. "My name is Sura, but I am only called Novi." "That's right, Novi. I remembered, we met yesterday, and you once came forward to protect me." On the university campus, he really couldn't change to Eminem's accent. "How did you find this place?" "Master, you said I could write to you. You said 'Speaker's House, Building No. 27.' ’ She exuded pride tinged with shyness. "They asked, 'Who is this letter for?' Master Slant, I heard you say your name when you were talking to that stupid Reckless Nan, so I said it was for Stoor Candiber."

"That's how they let you in, Novi? Didn't they ask to see the letter?" "I was startled, and I thought maybe they felt slightly sorry. I said: 'Jandibo Slanter promised to show me the Palace of the Slanter.' They all laughed, and one man at the gate said to the other: 'He They will let her visit other places.' They pointed out where I should go, and said that I should not go anywhere else, otherwise I would be kicked out immediately." Cendib's cheeks were a little flushed, and for Seldon, if he needed to have fun with an Eminem woman, he would never have done it so blatantly, nor would he have been so hungry.He took another look at the woman in Amu, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly in his heart.

She seemed very young, perhaps a little older than she was, but never more than twenty-five.An Eminem woman of this age is usually married, but her black hair is braided, which means she is still unmarried—and a virgin at that.He wasn't surprised by this. From her performance yesterday, it could be seen that she had enough money to be a shrew.Chandib even doubted that any Eminem man could stand her sharp tongue and heavy punches; and her appearance was not attractive, although she had gone to great lengths to dress up, her face still looked thin And mediocrity, the hands are red and swollen, and the joints are thick.Her figure is born to bear hardships and stand hard work, without a bit of graceful beauty.

Under his careful scrutiny, her lower lip began to tremble slightly.He could clearly sense her embarrassment and fear, and he felt sympathy for it.She had done him a great favor yesterday, thought Candiba, and he couldn't cross the river and tear down bridges. Candib tried to soothe her with gentle words: "So you're here to visit the... um... Palace of Scholars?" She opened her eyes wide (the black eyes were full of delicate ones). "Master, don't be angry with me, but I came to be a slant myself." "You want to be a scholar?" Jiandibo felt that this sentence was like a bolt from the blue. "My dear girl—"

He couldn't go on.She is just a completely unsophisticated peasant woman, how should I explain to her, what kind of wisdom and spiritual vitality must be possessed, and how much training must be received to become the "slanted person" in Eminem's population. But Sura Novi desperately emphasized: "I can write and read. I have read many books from the beginning to the end. I always hope to be a oblique person. I don't want to be a farmer's wife. I don't The one who should be on the farm, I won't marry a farmer and make a lot of farmer babies." She suddenly raised her head and said in a very proud tone: "I have been proposed many times, and I always say 'no'. I say it politely, but if you don't, it means you don't."

Candiba could tell at a glance that she was lying, and no one had ever proposed to her.But he still put on a serious expression and said to her: "If you don't get married, what do you want to do with your life?" Nuo Wei stretched out one hand to press on the table, and said in a firm tone, "I want to be a oblique person, I don't want to be a peasant woman." "What if I can't make you a scholar?" "Then I don't do anything, I just wait to die. If I don't do anything oblique, my life is meaningless." Chandib had a sudden urge to use psychic powers to probe her mind to find out just how strong her motives really were.However, it is wrong to do so. As a speaker, in order to satisfy one's own curiosity, one cannot casually enter into the defenseless hearts of others and rummage through them for answers.Like every other industry, the technology of mind control—so-called psychomechanics—has its own set of rules, at least everyone has a ruler in mind. (He suddenly regrets his attack on the housemaster.)

And he said, "Why don't you want to be a peasant woman, Novi?" He needs only a little trick to make her content with her doomed fate, thought Candibe, and then affect the mind of an Eminem bumpkin, Let him be happy to marry her home, and she will be happy to spend the rest of her life with him.There would be no harm in doing so, and it would be a simple act of kindness—but a transgression, so it should not even be considered. She replied: "I won't do it. The farmer is a big boss. He rolls in the mud every day and turns into a ball of mud. If I become a peasant woman, I will also become a ball of mud. I will lose time to read and write. I'll forget. My head," she said, pointing to her temple, "will go rancid and rotten. No! It's a different person, a person with a heart!" Refers to "smart people", not "delicate people".)

She continued: "The pedants are surrounded by books, and... and... I forget what it's called." She made a motion, a bit like operating some instrument.If Jiandibo hadn't received her spiritual radiation, it would be impossible to guess what she meant based on this action. "Microfilm," he said, "how did you hear about microfilm?" "From the book, I read a lot." She said proudly. Candiba couldn't hold back his curiosity anymore, this was not an ordinary Amish woman, he had never heard of anyone like her.The Second Base has never recruited Amu people, but if Novi was younger, say only ten years old...

What a pity! He didn't want to harass her, absolutely not.But how could he be a speaker if he couldn't observe an unusual mind and learn more about psychomechanics from it? So he said: "Nuowei, I want you to sit here for a while, try to calm your mind, don't say a word, don't think about what to say, just try to sleep for a while, you understand?" Her fear returned immediately. "Why should I do this, master?" "Because I want to think about how to make you a scholar." No matter how many books she has read, it is impossible for her to understand the true meaning of being a "scholar".Therefore, it is necessary to understand first, to see what a scholar in her mind looks like.

He began to probe into her heart with an extremely delicate and cautious technique, without actually touching it, but enough to perceive its contents, just like placing the palm of your hand on a smooth metal surface without leaving any fingerprints at all.In the end, he discovered that she thought a scholar was someone who was always reading, but she didn't even have the slightest idea why she should read.As for her own becoming a scholar, the image in her mind is to continue to do the daily work, cooking, washing, mopping, carrying things, and following orders, but it is replaced by doing these tasks in the university, so you can With access to many books, she could read at leisure, and then "become learned," but that was only a vague idea.Taken together, these thoughts amounted to saying that she wanted to be a servant here—his own servant. ,

Candiba frowned.An Eminem maid - mediocre, vulgar, ignorant, almost illiterate - is beyond imagination. He just needs to change her mind. There must be a way to adjust her desires and make her be a peasant woman willingly.It had to be done so imperceptibly that even Dramid couldn't fault it. ——Or was she sent by Drammy? It was an elaborate plot from beginning to end to lure himself into interfering with an Eminem's mind, and then he would be caught and justified. Impeach? Ridiculous, he was actually showing signs of paranoia.Some corner of her innocent mind, where the trickle of spirit needs a little turning, needs only a nudge. Strictly speaking, this practice is against the commandments, but it can never do any harm, and no one will notice. He stopped abruptly. Back, back, back. God! He almost didn't notice! Are you really hallucinating? Impossible! Now that his attention was all there, he could see it clearly.One of the tiniest mental fibers appeared disorganized--an unnatural chaos, but so finely detailed that there were hardly any divisions. Jian Dibo quickly withdrew from her mind and said softly, "Nuowei." Her gaze refocused. "What's the matter, master?" she asked. "You can work under me, and I'll make you a scholar—" said Chandibor. Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she exclaimed excitedly: "Master——" Immediately, he realized that she was about to kneel at his feet, and quickly stretched out his hands to grab her shoulders vigorously. "Don't move, Novi, stay where you are - don't move!" He seemed to be speaking to an animal with only a little training, and he didn't let go until he saw the command running through her.As he held her, he felt the muscles in her upper arms so strong. Chandib told her, "If you want to be a scholar, you have to behave like a scholar. That means you have to keep quiet at all times, you have to speak softly at all times, and you have to listen to my instructions at all times. Besides, You will have to try to learn my way of speaking, and you will have to meet other scholars, will you be afraid?" "I won't be frightened—I won't be frightened, master, if you're with me." "I'll be with you. But for now, I've got to find you a room, arrange a bathroom, dining room seating, and proper attire. You've got to dress like a scholar, Novi." "It's all about me..." Her tone suddenly became sad. "We'll help you find the right clothes." Jiandibo knew that he had to find a woman to help, and asked her to prepare some clothes for Nuowei.He had to find someone else to teach the Eminem woman basic hygiene.She was probably wearing her best outfit now, and had clearly been freshened up, but she still had an unpleasant smell about her. In addition, he had to draw a clear line with her, so as not to let others misunderstand.It was an open secret that some of the Second Foundation men (and women, too) occasionally went out to have fun with the Amites.No one would make a fuss about such a thing as long as it didn't disturb the hearts of the Amu people from the beginning to the end.But Candiba never liked to do this. He thought that the relationship between men and women on campus would satisfy him, so he didn't have to look for sex that might be wilder and more interesting.Compared with the Eminem women, the women of the Second Foundation looked pale and thin, but all of them were clean, and their skin was smooth and delicate. But even if it caused a misunderstanding and people laughed at him as a speaker who went too far-not only ran out to eat wild food, but also brought an Eminem woman to his room, he had to endure this embarrassment.The Drami speaker and the other members of the round table are bound to formally break with themselves, and now it seems that in the upcoming duel, this peasant woman—Sura Novi—will be the key to their victory .
