Allen looked quietly behind the tree.
The boy who was talking to Vera had fine eyebrows, and his dark green hair blurred the outline of his forehead. With a light smile on his face, he was wearing a white shirt under a thin khaki sweater, with a twill tie hidden in the neckline of the sweater. The lower body is wearing striped trousers of the same color, and a pair of dark leather shoes are squatting. The clothes are not eye-catching, but the workmanship and materials are top-notch, which makes this boy feel close to nature, but at the same time, he does not lose the heritage of an aristocratic family.
When he pointed out that Vera was able to peek into the future, the girl in the black dress shook her shoulders, as if touched. But Vera still didn't say a word, the boy glanced at the other companions, and said with a light smile: "Miss Vera still remembers Li Fei, the woman you drew a picture of her. The one you drew that day was hers. A certain scene in the affair with the uncle of the family. She thought that what you saw was the past. It was not until one day when they appeared in a familiar scene that Li Fei realized that what you were peeping was the future. I also had no intention of listening to her Speaking of which, I just found out that Miss Vera has this ability."
"It's not a good thing to see the future, and what's more, what I see is only a certain possible future." Vera raised her head, and looked directly at the boy in front of her with her emotionless eyes.
Even Allen lost his composure in front of these eyes, and the boy in front of him was even more unbearable. The natural and unrestrained smile on his face froze suddenly, and then he subconsciously avoided Vera's gaze. The boy didn't know his composure until he saw his companion looking at him in surprise. He forced a smile at the moment and said, "It's already very remarkable to be able to see a certain possibility in the future."
"What is there to be proud of?" Vera said softly: "Time originates from the singularity, and before the singularity, that is where the gods are. Even the gods cannot see the future clearly, and what I see is even more A vague outline. Like a fish jumping out of the water, but only seeing something a little distance in front of the river. What's more, it just doesn't take a glance, and then enters the water again. It doesn't know how the river diverges, but what the fish sees, Which tributary will it be in?"
"Miss Vera is very lucky to be able to share the sight of the gods!" the boy said in a deep voice.
"Lucky?" Vera looked at him, her lead-like eyes made the boy lower his head. She shook her head and said, "That's not luck, that's curse. You won't understand, no one... won't understand."
"Miss Vera, my name is Weber. Our Fanweni family absolutely needs a talent like you. Even if you can only see a vague fragment, it will be of great benefit to us. I sincerely invite you to be the guest of honor of the family. It can be guaranteed that you will live a worry-free life." The boy finally stated his purpose.
Vera shook her head: "I can't help you, I can't help everyone. Because what I see is always a sad future..."
Allen, who was behind the tree, was moved in his heart. He seemed to know why Vera's eyes were always so desperate. How can a person who can only see a sad future be happy.
Vera turned to leave, and Weber was in a hurry. After winking at the other companions, the boys immediately gathered to block Vera's way. Wei Bo said with some loss of demeanor: "Miss Vera, please think carefully."
Vera didn't answer. At this moment, Allen came out from behind the tree and said, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that it was Allen, Weber snorted and said, "This is none of Bethkind's business."
"That's right, it's just that Vera is my friend. And now, my friend is going to leave. If you don't want to get out of the way, then it's none of my business." Allen said forcefully.
Weber narrowed his eyes: "However, Beth Keld, a side dog, dares to talk to me like that?"
"However, one of the many heirs of the Fanweni family dares to act wild in Blade of Dawn? Do you want to make a bet with me that if I remove you from the heir list, not only will your family not stand up for you. On the contrary, your brothers will thank me." Allen sneered back.
Weber remembered that the boy in front of him, who was younger than him, had just let Vincent and Josh be removed from his family inheritance list not long ago, and he himself was indeed alive and well, and he didn't see Vincent's family or Wim. The Si family made trouble for him. After weighing for a moment, Weber snorted, made a gesture, and turned around and left with a few companions.
As soon as they left, Vera left silently without even saying "thank you". After walking a few steps, Alan's voice sounded behind him: "As you said yourself, there are countless possibilities in the future, how can you be sure that the future you see will become a reality? Vera, don't let it happen because of one Two coincident facts completely negate the possibility of the future."
"Maybe, it's not that what you see is a sad future. It's that you... only want to see that kind of future."
Vera's whole body shook, and there seemed to be a slight change in her lead-cloud-like eyes. But she never spoke, and after a short pause, she walked away.
That night, when Windsor Bella returned to her residence on the top floor of the Villa Building, Nuonuo reported with a brain in her arms: "Miss, I have sent the list of candidates to Dean Andrew according to your instructions. .”
"Very well, what did that long-winded old man say?"
"Dean Andrew would like to know what your assessment topic is."
Windsor Bello threw herself into a set of soft sofas, with her long legs propped up on the armrests, and said: "My students can't be soft-legged shrimps, right? Then, the first round of assessment will be based on their combat skills. The assessment is ready. Let Dean Andrew arrange a time for the eight little guys to fight in groups. The four who win can go to the second round of assessment. As for the topic, we will talk about it at that time."
"Then I'll do it."
Just as Nuonuo was about to leave, Windsor Bello stopped her again: "Wait, after the list is announced, there must be some uneasy guys who will come to ask for information. If it is related to those little devils, each piece of information will cost 100,000 federations." If it involves me, just take a million. If they ask for a certain item, it’s okay, regardless of the value, sell it for three million.”
"Go, tell the red wolf this price. This is called a clear price, and it's no lie!"
There was a smug laugh from Windsor Bello behind him, Nuonuo shook his head and went to work.
When Dean Andrew announced the list of eight students enrolled by Windsor Bellow, there was a wave of discussion in Babylon. What was announced together with the list was the combat skills assessment planned for next week. These two messages will be the next on Babylon
People talked about it before and after dinner, and according to Dean Andrew, because of limited energy, Windsor Bello could only select one of the eight children to teach in person, and the others who were not selected could only be registered students. But even a registered student with a name but no title is enough to make other people jealous.
After all, Windsor Bello was well-known, so when the names of these eight lucky ones were spoken by Dean Andrew, their status in the family was imperceptibly elevated. Among the eight people, apart from Allen, Weber from the Fanweni family was also impressively listed. When he heard the news, Weber had already forgotten the unhappiness of being rejected by Vera and contradicting Allen.
Just seeing the name Alan on the list also made Weber feel like he was stabbed in the flesh.
"This little girl, Windsor Bello, is getting more and more difficult." Horn, who also got the news, said in his castle study.
Hai Xin stood aside, didn't express any opinion, just looked at his master with a smile.
"Mr. Haixin, why do you think that little girl chose these students?" Horn tapped the list note sent by the butler with his fingers.
Hai Xin thought for a while, and said: "The families behind the students selected by the female marshal are all prosperous. Maybe this has something to do with the tuition fees?"
Horn laughed and said: "It's not the first day that Greedy Wolf loves money. That's right, you're right. The students chosen by this little woman, Windsor Bello, all have a prosperous family behind them, which is enough to pay for it." Her tuition. But more importantly, these families either have nothing to do with the old party, or have some grievances with the old party."
"Simply by recruiting a few students, Windsor Bello has actually won eight powerful allies for himself. In this way, making money is just incidental, and it also serves as a deception. .I think Kaprow may have a headache for this news for a while." Horn paused, and said: "Mr. Haixin, please tell me. Starting today, we at Bethkind will no longer touch anything related to the old party. Business. For unavoidable business transactions, they will be handed over to the Moss family's agent. Please ask old Cage for me, I have to have a good talk with him."
"Yes, master. As for the young master, is there anything you need me to convey for you?" the butler asked carefully.
Horn shook his head: "No need, at least the first round of combat skills assessment. With Allen's strength, there is no need to worry."
When he heard that he was expected to become Windsor Bellow's personal student, Allen was really excited for a while. In the following week, he temporarily canceled the trip to study at Hughton's house every night, and reported to the training hall instead. Allen is actively preparing for the battle, although he, like Horn, is full of confidence in the combat skills assessment. But past experience told him that he must be fully prepared no matter what time.
The lion fights the rabbit, still trying his best. The matter is of great importance, and Allen doesn't want to lose the chain in any key link. After returning to the old castle on the weekend, he redeemed the use time of the gravity room for the first time. But on Sunday, he only had a morning routine in the combat training area. In the afternoon, he went to the town of Levin to visit the children taken in by Willick.
Horn saw it in his eyes and secretly approved. Being able to maintain a peaceful state of mind before a battle is the quality a strong person should possess!
