Bill Gates looked up at the sky outside, smiled and said to his daughter: "Mary, let’s go for a walk. It’s been almost half a year since we’ve been here. We’re just busy with the research institute. It seems that we are not here yet. Take a walk outside and take a look at the scenery here."

Mary Gates, who had untied her knot, jumped up with excitement. She quickly put on a heavy bear skin cloak, put on a bear skin hat, and walked out of the room affectionately holding her father's arm. Gate.

　　 It is the mid-winter season, and there was a heavy snowfall just a few days ago. As far as I can see after I go out, there is snow covered with white light in the moonlight everywhere.

When the father and daughter were about to walk out of the gate of the institute, a man wrapped in heavy fur came out like a ghost and stood beside Gates and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gates, may I ask you if you want to Are you going outside with Miss Gates?"

Seems to have known this ghostly character a long time ago, Bill Gates nodded, "I just want to go out with my daughter and take a look at the night view here. Those who are busy with work have not yet admired the surrounding scenery. , And the work has not been smooth in the past two days. I need to relax and relieve my stress."

　　 "Well, Mr. Gates, I will let someone protect you and Miss Gates."

　　 The man who couldn't see his face disappeared strangely after saying such a sentence. After a while, Gates found that several shadowy figures appeared in the distance of himself. Needless to say, they are all elite fighters of the Grim Bear Army.

　　 Gates and his daughter looked at each other, and they both noticed bitter smiles on each other's faces, and then they walked out without saying anything.

　　 The weather tonight is fine, and a bright moon digging like a silver plate hangs diagonally in the sky, exuding infinite silver moonlight.

　　 The ubiquitous snow on the ground reflects the moonlight, making the entire wilderness extremely bright.

Not long after the father and daughter walked along the cleaned road, Marie let go of her father's arm like a playful, squatted down on the roadside snow, grabbed a snow ball, and then hurled it hard. The dense forest on the roadside immediately aroused dozens of unknown birds to soar.

　　 Under the bright moonlight, these dozens of resident birds who don't know their names whispered in mid-air, seeming to blame Mary for disturbing their dreams.

　　Mary looked at the birds in a daze, and after a long time she clapped her hands, and continued to slowly move forward holding her father's arm.

　　 "Father, I really envy those birds now, they are much more free than us." Mary's voice was small as if she was whispering, but Gates could hear the complaints in her daughter's tone.

With a bitter smile, Gates whispered: "Child, there is no way. As long as we have not left the tribe, then we are the most precious property of the tribe. At this point, you have lived here for twelve years, you It should have been clear for a long time. So, you shouldn't complain like this."

Mary lowered her head and kicked a small stone. "I just... I just think it seems really unfair that the tribe treats us like this. After all, we have made so many contributions to the tribe and we should not be treated like this. ."

"No, my child, you are thinking too simplistically about some things." Gates shook his head slightly. "The Chief Chief treats us like this, in fact, it is compelling. Don't forget that when we first came here, The tribe is almost in a state of a semi-primitive society, and the tribe is far from being able to compare with those countries in the European continent. But you look at it now, the countries in the European continent are doing everything possible to ask for the tribe. Why is this? Because? The current tribes have grown so powerful that even those French, Spanish, Prussians, and Austrians can’t provoke the tribes. And our role in it is huge."

　　 "Then why are we still under surveillance now?" Mary asked very puzzled.

"Because we are too important to the tribe now, we can't make any mistakes." Gates turned his head and said to his daughter very seriously, "If I were the chief, I would treat us people as well. Make the strictest protection and surveillance."

　　Mary is silent, she already understands many things at the age of twenty. It's just that her rebellious period seems to come a bit late, so she has such a performance tonight.

"Child, you grew up in a tribe. In the past ten years, you have followed me, followed Jean, followed Jack, followed David, and later Gedi, and learned a lot of things. Now you can say that except for your age. In addition, you are already the most extensive researcher in the entire Academy of Science and Technology. I ask your child, do you like doing research?"

　　Mary quickly nodded and said: "I like to do research. Every time the results of the research come out, I feel extremely happy. This kind of research life with nothing to worry about makes me really happy."

　　 "Yes, you like this kind of life, but have you ever wondered why you can live this kind of life now?"

Seeing his daughter not speaking, Gates continued to whisper: "Then have you ever thought, if we return to the British mainland, can you still live this kind of life? Can you live this kind of worry about eating and drinking? Wearing, you don’t have to worry about anything, you just need to concentrate on the research life?"

　　Mary hesitated, but finally sighed and said, "Well, father, I know what you said is right. I, I just feel very uncomfortable with this omnipresent surveillance."

"Hehe, my child, there is nothing comfortable or uncomfortable. If you want to live a life like this, you have to accept such surveillance calmly. Again, it is precisely because of our scientific research capabilities that we will become the whole The most precious property of the tribe, we can enjoy this kind of life that has no concerns and can do research without any distractions. We use my research results to enhance the strength of the tribe, and in turn, the tribe will use the best efforts of the tribe to provide us with The kind of life we ​​want. It's just a very ordinary transaction. Just like the Chief Chief took the risk to rescue us and your Aunt Bebera~lightnovelpub.net~ and we need it. The price paid is the same as working for the chieftain in the tribe. This is just a deal."

After a pause, Gates said earnestly and earnestly: "My child, because you have been learning from those uncles and uncles since you were young, your knowledge is arguably the most extensive among us. And you are still so young now, as long as you If you can sink your heart, then you will surely take over the position of the dean of the Academy of Science and Technology in the future."

　　 "But I think if we return to the British mainland, we can enter the Royal Academy of Sciences with our abilities."

"Child, you think things are too simple. Who are those people from the Royal Academy of Sciences? Those people have titles on them, and the families behind them are all nobles. Although our Gates family was a small noble before, But the family has long been dilapidated. Your grandfather and your grandma, uncle, and uncle all lost their lives in smallpox a few years ago. Now our family is only you, me and one of your aunts still alive. And Your grandfather’s baroniality has long been deprived of your majesty... Even if we go back, the day is definitely not as good as you think. And what you may not know is that even if we can actually join the Royal Academy, We must always face ubiquitous discrimination, oppression and even more insidious methods that are even more unbearable. Even if we go back, we must not only start from scratch, but also face various difficulties. The hardship is not As you can imagine. In contrast, we are here in heaven."

　　 Mary was silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh. Although he didn't speak, he took his father's arm and added a bit of strength.
