Marvel’s Princess Chapter 90: Stanford’s collection of books

Stanford’s two-month-one-semester model made Bella very uncomfortable. She had just started learning many things, and before she got into the groove, it was the end of the semester! Time was tight and there were many tasks, but with the bonus of her good looks, she gradually opened up in several clubs.

Fencing is a sport that is not accessible to ordinary students. In their free time, they can just play baseball or rugby. Who practices this stuff?

For example, Bella’s roommate and classmate Heather, who had also attended her competition, was very good at using a 3,000-rpm chainsaw, but fencing? Sorry, I’ve never heard of it! According to the fierce woman, such a thin metal stick is far less effective than a chainsaw, has limited lethality, has many rules, and is not practical at all.

I can’t figure out why the swordsmanship I inherited from the pirates has now been transformed into a synonym for elegance. But Bella can also understand that this is similar to the saying in the ancient world. The more capable a person is, the more "blessed, pure and virtuous" he is.

Fencing is similar to equestrian. Calling it an aristocratic sport is a bit flattering, but a lot of people still regard this sport as elegance.

Many rich people who graduated from Stanford are sponsoring fencing clubs just to give themselves a label of cultivation.

Rich! The fencing club is very rich!

After the game, the organizers loudly announced that they were going to have a party.

It would be too unconventional not to attend a party here. Even Miss Barbara Morse, who was beaten to a pulp and looked depressed, could not refuse the invitation to the party.

The organizers borrowed a villa for the evening party.

It is already very cold in San Francisco in December, but the party scene is very hot. No one will come to the party wrapped in a cotton coat. Bella has changed from the metal clothes and fencing shoes she used to wear when fencing, and now she is wearing a A white sweater and a printed long skirt, and a pair of sandals at her feet.

After playing a casual game of snooker, she sat at the bar and watched a bunch of people having fun. From time to time, people came over to chat with her.

Bella is also selectively screening, saying more if she can talk to others, and ignoring others.

She felt that she was slowly turning into a character like Victoria Hand, who was completely dependent on others. But it would not be enough if she did not do this. Making friends with people who were worth making friends would save her a lot of time. She didn't want to I wasted too much energy on interpersonal relationships, let alone politics, so I just found a relatively upper-class circle to get into and that was it.

"Your swordsmanship is really good. Have you been practicing it since you were a child?" Barbara Morse, wearing a camisole and trousers, sat next to her and asked curiously.

Say it was an ancestor who showed his spirit and passed it on to me through the spiritual sea? No one believed this, so Bella nodded.

"Yes, I have been practicing since I was a child and have been practicing for many years."

The two chatted while drinking. The ban on drinking under the age of 21 has long been in vain. People in the United States who actually abide by this law are as rare as giant pandas. As long as they are not discovered, nothing will happen.

"Your parents are both police officers? That's great... My parents are both soldiers. Four generations of our family have been soldiers, and I am the only one who is a woman..." Barbara Confessing the injustice in his heart.

Her family background is similar to Bella's. Charlie and Samantha actually served in the army and became sergeants after retiring.

Four generations of Barbara's family have been in the military, and they share a certain common language with Bella. To a certain extent, they are a different kind of 'military family'.

On a social level, the United States does not pay much attention to this class.

Sociological research reports believe that 80% of people are middle class, but here in Silicon Valley, they have their own definition of the middle class. They believe that only IT elites, professors, and doctors are the middle class. The middle class are the pillars of society. The police and soldiers are still far behind!

The two didn't say it clearly, but they understood each other's meaning, discrimination! Discrimination is everywhere in this country!

It is because there is too much discrimination in all aspects that many people put this word on their lips.

Barbara kept talking to her, taking the opportunity to stop those suitors. Bella had similar thoughts, and the two of them chatted.

Stanford's party was relatively well-behaved. At ten o'clock, Bella got up and left.

Going back to the dormitory, she changed into casual clothes, rinsed her mouth repeatedly, and after confirming that there was no alcohol smell, she carried her bag and headed to the library.

She showed the library administrator the borrowing signature given by a professor. After the other party confirmed it, he called two strong men to use a trolley to move an ancient book out of the library's warehouse for her.

It is a very large and thick book. It looks a bit like the Pirate Code in Pirates of the Caribbean. It is like a door panel and needs two people to lift it and pull it with a cart to take it out.

This is a treasured ancient book from the Stanford Library, called the Gutenberg Bible, which is the famous Forty-Two Chapter Bible... No, it's the Forty-Two Line Bible!

This is the Latin version of the Bible printed by Johnny Gutenberg using movable type printing in 1454. The entire book has 1,282 pages. Due to the parchment technology at the time, the entire book was extremely thick and hard to beat. Personally, that's totally fine.

A total of 180 copies were printed at that time, but today there are less than 50 copies in existence. Such precious ancient books cannot be borrowed even if they are signed by the professor. The books cannot leave the library, and she can only read them in the library.

Although it is already ten o'clock in the evening, the library is still brightly lit and there are a large number of students studying here.

The book Bella read was a bit big and too old. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, occasionally a few students passing by would look at her in surprise, but no one thought it was wrong. The wind of freedom was blowing! Feel free to learn whatever you want.

Bella is going to use a vacation to learn the knowledge in this book, solidify her foundation, and develop new psychic spells.

Her Latin proficiency is still in its infancy, and reading the Gutenberg Bible is a bit difficult, which requires more time and energy.

When she encounters some problems, she will also ask the Wen family and his son via email. When it comes to knowledge in the Bible, the church is definitely the best at it, but it is really inappropriate for her, a heretic, to go to church, so she settles for the next best thing and seeks out It's not impossible for the witcher to solve the puzzle.

For many demon hunters, the knowledge of exorcism remains at the level of "knowing it but not knowing why". They draw a magic circle, sprinkle salt, and then go crazy! Looking at it today, it is really rough, but there are also some tips worth learning from.

There is no need to think about social issues or calculating grades. Bella is studying all kinds of knowledge like crazy. Even Natasha refused when she asked her to go shopping. She plans to spend these days in the library until Christmas. until!
