Chapter 386: True Love
Anna gave Alan a potion of potential, which, as its name suggests, stimulates the potential of the person who takes it. Boost its combat power for a short period of time, or activate its source power to heal itself. Allen's situation obviously belongs to the latter, he was invaded by the freezing gas released by the projection of Lavis's original ancestor, and the freezing air even suppressed Allen's own source power, causing his body temperature to continue to drop.
The potion stimulated his source power, making it active and naturally dissipating the freezing gas in his body. Otherwise, if the freezing gas is further affected, it will cause Allen's blood to coagulate, causing severe damage.
Alan slept until late in the evening and woke up. When he woke up, he found that he had changed into a new set of clothes and cleaned the dirt from his body. Seeing him wake up, Silver walked over and slapped Allen on the shoulder: "How is it?" Are you alright? ”
After moving the body, except for some places affected by the freezing gas and some soreness, there is no other major problem. As for some other minor injuries on the body, they will not heal in a day if they are ignored. He looked at his new clothes and asked, "Did you change them for me?" ”
"No, it's Lady Anna, she washed your whole body." Silver smiled ambiguously.
Alan immediately felt a little hot on his face, if it was like what Silver said, then wouldn't he have been looked at by Anna? At this time, Anna pushed the door in, apparently heard the conversation between the two of them, and snorted, "I helped you clean it up, how about it?" I've seen more men than you've seen women, the body of a ghost, what's the catch? ”
Silver couldn't help but smile and left, Alan scratched his head and shot at Anna, and asked again, "How is the gene factory?" ”
"What else, it's completely ruined. But there is one thing that is much stricter than this. ”
"You mean Elder Baker?"
Anna nodded solemnly and said: "I have reported this news to the master as soon as possible, as for how to deal with old Baker, it depends on the master's meaning." But recently, the master shouldn't have touched him. ”
Allen said: "I wouldn't rush to move him, after all, the old Baker is also in charge of part of Bethcord's capital." ”
"If it's a young master, what are you going to do?" Anna asked suddenly.
Alan thought for a moment and said, "I'll let the other two elders, Edric and Tyre, find a way to break into the eighth district and share some of Baker's family business. In the end, he was disposed of only when his power was stripped of him. In this way, the impact can be minimized. ”
"The young master has indeed grown a lot, and the old master's meaning is similar to what you said." Anna happily said, "If nothing happens on the surface, we will return to Babylon tomorrow." Tonight, you get an early rest. ”
Anna left, and Alan had slept all day, so how could she sit still. So he changed into the clothes of a mercenary and left the stronghold, and went to the market to join in the fun. The market at night is not as lively as during the day, but a few taverns are brisk with business. Alan and the others picked one of them, asked for a few bottles of wine, sat in a corner of the tavern, and watched a few scantily clad girls on the other side of the wine pool dancing and soliciting drinkers.
Despite the gaudy, there's no denying the vibrancy of life here.
"So, you're going back tomorrow?" With a flick of his thumb, Silver flicked the cork off and handed Alan a bottle of beer.
Alan took a sip, the taste was not very good, but the alcohol content was very high, his face was immediately a little hot, and he nodded: "There is no task on the surface for the time being, what about you?" Do you want to come with me to Babylon, where the work pays better? ”
"Thank you for your kindness, I understand. However, I am used to freedom, and it is better for me to stay on the surface and be a hunter. Silver smiled and declined, "If you come to the surface, you can go to Sequoia Town in District 7 to find me, everyone there knows me." Here I invite you to drink. ”
Alan smiled, the two wine bottles gently intersected in mid-air, and he said, "You have done us a great favor this time, and I owe you a favor." If you need help, you can go to Mart. He's the captain of our Surface Commando Team in Sector 7, and I'm directly connected to him. ”
"If I can make Bescord owe a favor, I won't let you pay it back." Silver said deliberately.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
There was a whistle in the tavern at the same time, and it turned out that it was several dancers who began to take off their clothes, and the air inside instantly burned hot, enough to melt people.
The night in Babylon was much quieter.
In the attic of the Mosen family's mansion, Adele sat on the sunbed on the terrace with her knees crossed, looking up at the starry night sky, and did not say a word throughout the night, looking preoccupied. Sophie, the maid in the attic, was cleaning the room when suddenly the door opened and old Kate walked in. Sophie was startled and was about to speak. Old Kate put a finger to her mouth and motioned for her to be silent.
Then walked out onto the terrace.
Hearing the footsteps, Adele thought it was a maid and said, "Sophie, pour me a cup of tea." ”
"Yes, my dear young lady."
At first hearing old Kate's voice, Adele suddenly jumped to the ground and said embarrassedly: "Grandpa, I didn't know you were here." ”
"It doesn't matter. But after I came back, how did my little goblin become quieter? Old Ketra took a chair and sat down beside him.
Adele lowered her head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Your little goblin has no charm at all now, of course it can't be active." ”
"What's wrong, you quarreled with Alan?"
"It's worse than that, Allen...... You don't like me at all, how can you quarrel. Adele bit her lip and said, "He treats me more as a brother and sister, maybe a close friend." But I couldn't go any further, Grandpa, who refused to marry me. ”
Old Kate looked at her granddaughter with a smile: "So, do you love Ellen?" ”
"I ......"
Don't answer lightly. I know that you figured out guò Allen, to get rid of some of the obligations that were destined to be imposed on you by birth. But before that, did you ever think about whether you really fell in love with Alan? Old Kate said lightly: "I heard one thing, not long ago, Her Royal Highness the royal daughter had a big quarrel with her father in order to stay by Allen's side, and even broke up. Because their voices were so loud that they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, they were heard by outsiders. ”
"I heard that His Royal Highness and his father don't have a good relationship, but she seems to be willing to abandon the royal dignity for the sake of Allen. I think she really likes Alan, and that's why she's able to do this. ”
"What about you, Adele?"
Adele was silent, and old Kate stood up, took out an invitation from her pocket, and put it on the round table: "This was sent by Grant's family earlier, and Dornier tactfully expressed his request to marry us on behalf of his son Diego. ”
As if electrocuted, Adele raised her head, a rare flash of fear in her beautiful eyes.
Old Kate sighed and stretched out her hand to brush her beloved little granddaughter's face: "Although many people agree, after all, the Grant family is one of the three giants, and if we can join forces with them, we who have always been weak will reach a higher level in strength." But I refused, and I know you won't agree, Adele. ”
"Grandpa." Adele was shocked, she knew very well how much pressure old Kate needed to bear if she refused this marriage.
Old Kate suddenly straightened her back and snorted coldly: "Although this is very realistic, but my brothers have forgotten it, our Mosen family did not rely on betraying the children of the clan in exchange for today's status. These soft eggs, Youwo's life has long made them forget about it, and the prosperity of the family depends on the blood and sweat of men to fight outside. Therefore, Bescord can continue to forge ahead, while our Moma family has been unable to move forward. ”
"An agreement like this, as long as grandpa is still there, he will reject it for you. So you still have time, Adele, don't rush to make a choice. Grandpa, I hope you can be truly happy. ”
Patting Adele's little head, old Kate left the attic. Adele curled herself into a ball, a mist welling up in the corners of her eyes.
In the excessively bright afternoon sunshine, Alan returned to the castle. When she arrived at Liberty Harbor on a transport airship, Anna left early, so Alan had to come back on her own. As soon as he got off the speed, he suddenly felt something, and looked to the left, a fist constantly expanding in his eyes. Alan immediately slid sideways, reached out to hold the fist, and then saw Leon's smirkling face after the punch.
"Okay, Alan. After coming back, instead of looking for a few brothers to catch up, you went to the surface to play by yourself, and you don't seem to know that the surface is very dangerous now. Leon said as he suddenly said, "Look at the move." Then he flew up and swept the side of Allen's head.
Alan leaned back, stretched out his leg and swept Leon to the plate, forcing him out of the way before saying, "I'm not going to play." ”
"Who would believe it? Maybe I met some beautiful girl on the surface.,There's such a good thing that should call me! Leon tapped his toes on the ground, and the man floated like a glide on the ice, slamming his fist straight into Allen's nose.
The two of them were in a ball on the car field in a blink of an eye, fists and feet, and the source force collided from time to time, making a tremor like thunder. During the fight, Alan grazed Leon's cheek with a punch, and at the same time, he bent up and propped it up on his chest, and the two immediately separated. Alan grinned and rubbed his chest and said, "Bastard, are you really here?" ”
"Nonsense, do men still have to pretend when they fight? Of course it's true, but your kid's punch is heavy again, and it hurts. Leon said, covering his mouth.
"You should be glad that it was a fist just now, if it was my Qianjun, don't think about standing here and talking nonsense about some man fighting." Alan snorted coldly.
Leon laughed, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Allen's neck and said, "Don't you know that brotherly fights are good for strengthening relationships?" Besides, there are really not many people who dare to fight with me, and you finally came back, I don't have itchy hands. ”
"You can go to the black market to fight black boxing, and you will be very happy to be beaten."
"Just that crap?" Leon sneered: "They don't even have the qualifications to touch the corner of my clothes." ”
After speaking, he changed his smiling face, patted Allen's chest and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." We'll see you at the old place in the evening, if you don't come, be careful that I beat you. ”R1058
