In the garden of the Debs family, Alice and Karan were sitting together and talking about the wedding.
"Alice." Karan's face was full of excited smiles, "I have talked to my father, our engagement date is set for June 18th, and our big wedding date is next January. The first day of the month is the day of next year's 'Magnolia Festival'."
A smile appeared on Alice's face.
"Next year, isn't next year the 10,000th year of the Magnolia Calendar? To hold our wedding at the 'Magnolia Festival' in the 10,000th year of the Magnolia Calendar is really... too, it's wonderful." Alice smiled happily as she spoke. up.
Looking at Alice's happy smile, Kalan felt satisfied for a while.
"Alice, discuss it with your father as soon as possible, and hand over the guest list of your side to me, so that I can arrange it as soon as possible." Kalan urged.
"Yes." Alice nodded softly.
Kalan stroked Alice's hair, feeling very satisfied.
But thinking of the current predicament of the family, Kalan felt a little anxious. The Debs family has been hit like never before since he and Alice walked together - the Dawson Chamber of Commerce abandoned it!
The Debs family's current glory is inseparable from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
However, in December last year, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce directly announced that it would withdraw its cooperation with the Debs family, and handed over various businesses in the Kingdom of Finlay to another family in the Kingdom of Finlay, letting another family replace the Debs family. s position.
and…
Not only that, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce even suppressed the Debs family, causing the Debs family to lose money in business.
"The Dawson Chamber of Commerce, why is it oppressing my family so much? Our Debs family didn't provoke the Dawson Chamber of Commerce." Kalan was also very troubled. As the future heir of the family, Kalan was naturally very concerned about this.
And because this happened just after he told the family about Alice and himself, many people in the family now think that 'Alice' is a disaster.
Otherwise, why would the Dawson Chamber of Commerce abandon them after working together for so many years
But fortunately, the Debs family has accumulated huge wealth over the years. Although the losses are huge now, the Debs family at least still has it. However, the Debs family also understands that the suppression of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce due to unclear reasons has made their Debs family have no hope in 'business'.
No one wants to offend the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, a super-giant for them.
Therefore, their Debs family had to find another way out.
Shaking his head and putting these troubles behind him, Kalan smiled and looked at Alice: "Alice, I heard that yesterday the Prox guild hall exhibited a very remarkable stone sculpture. It is said that Comparable to those works of masters, there are many people who see it, shall we go and see it?”
Alice also felt bored: "Okay."
…
Karan and Alice then rode the carriage to the Prux Hall.
"This stone sculpture is said to be very good. I have been busy preparing for our engagement and wedding in the past two days, and I haven't had time to show you." Kalan jumped out of the carriage first, and then led him very gentlely. Take Alice's hand and bring her down.
Alice and Karan walked side by side into the Proux Hall.
"Brother Karan, look, there are so many people." Alice's eyes lit up and pointed forward.
The 'Master's Exhibition Hall' in the deepest part of the Proux Hall was crowded with people, but the 'Master's Exhibition Hall' was very orderly, entering from one door and going out from another door. Everyone is only allowed to stay for about three minutes.
Every three minutes, viewers in the master's gallery have to leave. I want to go in again...
OK, queue up again!
"It's a long queue." Kalan was also surprised in his heart. He had never seen such a crowd of people in the Proxima Hall for so many years.
Karan and Alice also lined up according to the rules. The two of them queued for about 20 minutes before it was their turn to enter the master exhibition hall. The mighty group of people entered the master exhibition hall and immediately walked towards the front one by one.
Curious Alice and Karan naturally rushed forward.
But when Alice first saw the appearance of the stone sculpture, the whole person seemed to be frozen, staring blankly at the giant stone sculpture in front of her, the five beautiful stone sculptures of women, the sculptures of each woman All have a special flavor.
Others are immersed in the implication contained in the 'wake up' stone carvings.
But when Alice saw this stone sculpture, she couldn't help recalling the scenes from her past with Linley—
For the first time in despair, Linley descended like a god.
There was a scene where the two of them hid under the balcony and chatted all night.
…
Scene after scene emerged, making Alice completely dumbfounded. She really didn't expect to attract so many people, and the 'stone sculpture' that reached the master level was actually based on herself.
"Lin, Linley..." Alice's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
She looked at the introduction posted beside her—
"The author of this stone sculpture, 'Lin Lei', is 17 years old this year and graduated from Ernst School of Magic. Lin Lei, who is only 17 years old now, is already a seventh-level dual-type magician. He is the absolute magician in the entire Yulan continent. The number one magic genius, even in the tens of thousands of years of Yulan Continent's history, Linley is the second magic genius in history."
"However, Linley has not only achieved such achievements in the field of magic, but also in the field of stone sculpture. At the age of seventeen, this 'awakening' stone sculpture..."
…
A line of words completely shocked Alice.
"It's lei, it's lei." Alice looked at the introduction in a daze, "a seventh-level dual-type magician? He is already a seventh-level dual-type magician? Yes, but last year he was only a fifth-level magician. ."
Alice didn't know that before breaking up with her, Linley was already a sixth-level dual-type magician. It's just that Linley never had a chance to tell her.
"Awakening from a dream, this stone sculpture is called 'Awakening from a Dream'." Alice looked at the five humanoid sculptures in the stone sculpture, especially the last one that contained heartlessness. She suddenly understood that Linley named this stone sculpture' The true meaning of 'wake up'.
"Dream, awake?" Alice felt her mind was confused.
For the first man she really liked, Alice always had Linley's place in her heart, but when she found out that Linley named this stone sculpture 'Dream Awakening', she suddenly felt as if she had lost something in her heart.
That feeling is unpleasant.
Alice suddenly noticed Kalan next to her. Kalan's face was extremely ugly, her fists were clenched tightly, her blue veins were protruding, and her face was terrifyingly gloomy. An unknown light flashed in his eyes, staring at the stone sculpture.
"Brother Karan." Alice shouted worriedly.
Karan ignored Alice at all.
"Linley, you, you are going too far." Kalan's heart was full of endless anger. Although Kalan had a good attitude towards Linley in the past, Kalan also looked down on Linley in her heart, in Kalan's view. Even if Lin Lei worked hard alone, it would be difficult to compare with his family.
After all, his family is on the huge ship of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
But how long has it been? Only five months.
His Debs family was abandoned by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and what about Linley? However, he was born out of nowhere, and even stepped into the domain of a seventh-level dual-element magician at the age of seventeen. It is also known as the number one magic genius in the entire Magnolia Continent today.
Even in the history recorded in the Yulan Continent, there was only one person who was slightly stronger than Linley.
"At the age of seventeen, he is a seventh-level dual-type magician, and he is still comparable to a stone carving master." Kalan felt powerless for a while.
The opponent is too good.
But immediately, Kalan is endless anger.
Because the blueprint of this stone sculpture is his fiancee!
"Hey, look, the woman in the 'Wake up' stone sculpture looks very similar to this one?" A voice suddenly sounded in the 'Master's Exhibition Hall', and a dozen eyes suddenly looked at Alice, and there was a burst of discussion. sounded.
Linley's stone carving skills are too strong, and he has fully brought out that charm.
When those viewers saw Alice's first glance, they had a feeling... The girl in front of her was so similar to the woman in the 'Awakening' stone sculpture, she could be regarded as a person, with that unique look, That slightly pointed nose.
"Miss, what is your relationship with Master Linley?" An old man with gray hair who was now over a hundred years old asked Alice politely.
In stone carving skills, the master is the teacher.
Linley's skills have already impressed these collectors who have studied stone carvings for decades and over a hundred years. Calling it a 'guru' also comes from the heart. From the perspective of this old man who has studied stone carvings for over a hundred years, it is natural to guess that the woman in the stone carving may have a tangled relationship with Master Linley.
Alice was a little embarrassed and couldn't help looking at Kalan next to her.
"Oh, Kalan, you're here too." The old man looked at Kalan. He was old and mature. He could see that Kalan had a lot to do with this Alice. "Kalan, who is this lady?"
Although Karan was very dissatisfied, she still bowed humbly and said, "Lord Duke Bernard, this is Miss Alice, my fiancee."
"Fiancée?" Duke Bernard glanced at Kalan and Alice thoughtfully, smiled and said nothing.
…
Kalan pulled Alice and quickly fled back to the Debs family mansion as fast as she ran for her life.
The patriarch of the Debs family, Kalan's father, 'Leonard', was looking at his son in disbelief: "What did you say? Is that the blueprint for the piece on display at the Proxima Hall of Alice? "
Bernard is still more fond of his son.
When his son said he wanted to marry Alice, Bernard did not deny it. However, just a few days after the relationship between his son and Alice was confirmed, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce abandoned the Debs family for no reason. For this, Bernard has been begging to meet the upper echelons of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, seeking to meet.
Bernard has been busy with this for months. Even yesterday, the work of the Prux Hall was exhibited, and today he is too lazy to go there.
"Alice, the blueprint is Alice?" Bernard's face suddenly became ugly.
Karan nodded and said, "Yes, father. I'm not engaged to Alice yet, but once we get engaged, Alice will be known by a large number of nobles in the Holy City, and Linley's stone sculpture 'Awakening from a Dream' will definitely It's our family's biggest joke."
Bernard pondered for a moment, then frowned at Kalan and asked, "Seriously? Is there anything shameful about this stone sculpture?"
"Father, there was a time between Linley and Alice..." Kalan said vaguely, "and that stone sculpture is about him and Alice."
Bernard stopped speaking, but frowned deeply.
After a while, Bernard looked at Kalan: "Kalan, if I let you give up Alice, would you like it?" Kalan shook his head resolutely, after all, he is only eighteen years old this year.
Bernard nodded slightly: "Alice, don't worry, I will solve this matter, you can ignore it."
Kalan nodded, suddenly Kalan gritted her teeth, looked at her father and said, "Father, I'm with Alice, that lei must be very dissatisfied with me, and now lei's potential is too great, I think... we Can you think of a way to kill Linley?"
