Gao Xin looked into Milan's deep blue eyes and felt quite sentimental.
"I'm really curious, Milan, what did you do before? It seems like you've read a lot of books."
Milan raised her eyebrows slightly: "A lot? Before arriving on the island, I hadn't read much. I only stayed at the Angel Envoy's laboratory for three years, under the code 007."
"Before entering the laboratory, I was only seventeen, and the third war ended when I was thirteen."
"Since I can remember, the world was at war, and I didn't read much. Though my parents taught me some things, they died early in the war."
Gao Xin calculated that Milan was forty. She had experienced the entirety of the three wars.
"Then how do you know so much?"
Milan laughed: "After all these years, can't I teach myself? Do I have to read books before arriving on the island?"
"The Silver Tower allows exchanges of books and knowledge, but few people spend money to learn culture and philosophy."
