Chapter 5 chapter Five

Although Paul heard Yue Botu walk into the training room with blunt steps, he was still lying face down on the training table.The masseuse just left.After training with Gurney Halleck, Paul felt particularly at ease. "It feels quite comfortable." Yue Botu spoke calmly, with a higher pitch. Paul looked up and saw the stick-like figure standing a few steps away from him.He was dressed in black with folds.He has red lips, a beard that grows downward on his face, a royal custom-made diamond totem on his forehead, and the silver ring logo of Suk School on his left shoulder is covered by long black hair.

"We're out of time for regular classes, and you must be glad to hear that," Yue said, "Your father will be here in a while." Paul sat up. "But I have some boxed films and some lessons for your trip to Arrakis." "Oh." Paul grabbed his clothes and pulled them on. He was very excited when he heard that his father was coming.Since the emperor ordered Arrakis to be taken over, the father and son had rarely stayed together. The more I walked to the long table, I thought, how did this little thing spend the past few months, what a waste!Oh, what a sad waste.He reminded himself that he must not be shaken.What I did was to keep my Vanna safe from Harkonnen beasts.

Paul walked up to him, buttoning his jacket and said, "What am I going to learn on the road?" "Ah...about the subterranean way of life of the Arakis. The planet seems to be suitable for some kind of subterranean way of life, but the specifics are not very clear. Once there, I must find the planetary ecologist there... a man named Kay Dr. Ince's people... I will also contribute to this research." The more I think: what am I talking about?I'm being hypocritical to myself too. "Anything about the Fremen?" Paul asked. "Fremen?" Yue tapped his fingers on the table, noticing that Paul noticed this nervous movement, he withdrew his hand.

"Perhaps you already have a general understanding of the Arrakis," Paul said. "Of course," Yue said, "there are roughly two types of people there...the Fremen are one, and the other are the Graben, who live in deep pits or mines. It is said that they intermarry. The women of the Graben villages like Fremen husbands, and the men there like Fremen wives. They have a saying: 'The city gives grace, the desert makes wisdom.'” "Do you have a picture of them?" "I'll pay attention to getting some for you. The most interesting ones are of course their eyes...all blue without any white."

"Mutations?" "No, this has something to do with blood mixing and color penetration." "The Fremen must be very brave to live on the edge of the desert." "Very brave," Yue said, "They make poems on the edge of a knife, their women are as fierce as men, and even children are very fierce and dangerous. I bet you will never get mixed up with them." Paul stared at Yue, and found that these simple understandings of the Fremen had deeply aroused his curiosity.It would be amazing to be able to form an alliance with these people! "And the sand lizard?" Paul asked.

"what?" "I want to know more about sand lizards." "Oh... of course. I have a small specimen in the boxed movie set, only 110 meters long and 22 meters in diameter. The photo was taken in the northern latitudes. According to reliable information, there are sand lizards up to 400 meters long. There's reason to believe larger ones exist." Paul glanced at the conical projection map of the northern latitudes of Arrakis spread out on the table, and asked, "Is the desert area marked with non-residential areas and the Antarctic the place where sand lizards appear?"

"And the storm." "But any place can be made habitable." "If it's economically feasible," Yue said, "the danger of Arrakis will be costly financially." He smoothed his beard. "Your father will be here soon. Before I leave, I will give you a present. I found this when I was packing my luggage." Yue put something on the table... black, oval, about the size of Paul's thumb tip. Paul looked at the thing.The more I noticed that the boy didn't take it, I thought: He is really careful. "It's a very old orange Catholic Bible for space travelers, not a movie book, it's actually printed on silk paper. It has its own amplifier and electrostatic charging system," he said, picking up the Bible , showed Paul, "Static electricity keeps the book closed, attached to the snap-lock cover. Press its edge so that your selected page numbers repel each other, and the book opens."

"so small!" "But it has 1,800 pages. Press the edge of the book like this, and just like that, the electricity will turn the book page by page as you read. Don't touch the pages of the book with your hands, the silk fibers are too brittle." He closed the book and handed it to Paul. , "Try." The more I watched Paul turn the pages, thinking, I saved my conscience.Before betraying him, I gave him my religious realm.So I can say that he has gone where I cannot go. "This stuff must have been around before movie books," Paul said. "It's been a long time. It's our secret, huh? Your parents might think you're too young for something so expensive."

The more I thought about it: his mother would doubt my motives. "Well..." Paul closed the book, holding it in his hand, "if this thing is too valuable..." "Don't disappoint an old friend," Yue said, "I got it when I was very young." He thought: I must catch his mind and greed. "Turn to page 467...Kalima, where it says, 'All life begins with water.' There is a small back notch on the edge of the book marking the location of this sentence." Paul felt the cover and noticed two grooves, one shallower.The book opens in the palm, and the amplifier moves into place.

"Read it out loud." Yue said. Paul moistened his lips with his tongue and read: "If you think about the fact that deaf people can't hear, then maybe we don't have what kind of deafness? What do we lack so that we can't see or hear? There is another world around us. ? What's around us that keeps us from..." "Shut up!" Yue Yue shouted. Paul stopped suddenly and looked over. The more I closed my eyes and tried to regain my composure, what force made the book just turn to my favorite page of Wanna?Yue opened his eyes and saw Paul staring at him.

"Is there something wrong?" Paul asked. "I'm sorry," Yue said, "that was my...my... dead wife's favorite page. I don't want you to read that page, it will bring back painful memories for me." "There are two grooves in the book," Paul said. Of course, the more she thought about it, Wana marked the page she liked.It was just an accident, that's all. "You will find this book very interesting," said Yue, "it contains a lot of historical events and good moral philosophy." Paul looked down at the little book in his palm... so small.However, it held a secret... As he read it, something happened.Already he felt a terrible purpose welling up in his chest. "Your father will come here anytime," Yue said, "put the book away and read it when you have nothing to do." Paul touched the edge of the book according to Yue's method, and the book closed automatically.Paul put it in the pocket of his tights.For a while, when Yue yelled at him, Paul worried that Yue would take the book back. "Thank you for your gift, Dr. Yue," Paul said solemnly. "This is a secret between the two of us. If you want something from me as a gift, please don't hesitate to tell me." "I... don't need anything." Yue said. He thought: Why am I still standing here torturing myself?Torment the poor boy...even though he doesn't know anything.Oh!Those damn Harkonnen beasts!Why did you choose me to be their internal response? How do we get close to Muadhi's father, his study?The Duke of Ledo Atrez possesses extraordinary enthusiasm and amazing calm.But many facts opened the door for him to be close to him: his unshakable love for his Bi Geist woman, his dream for his son, and the loyalty of his subordinates to him.
