Standing in front of Hutton's house, Alan looked at the bottle of "Flame Volcano" in his hand. This was obtained from the family warehouse, and in terms of stamina and sweetness, it was not as good as the "blue moonshine" that Horn had given to the old drunkard before, but in terms of intensity, it was the best in wine. Ordinary people can't drink such strong alcohol at all, and even if they drink too much, they will die. Of course, with the strength of Major General Hughton, he was just drunk.

Alan was afraid that he would pull himself to get drunk together, remembering the feeling that his head was about to crack after the previous hangover, he would rather go to the battlefield and fight the enemy to the death.

There was a knock on the door, and the sound was heard in every corner of the house at this time in the morning. As long as Huberton is at home, there's no reason why he can't hear it. Footsteps sounded behind the door, and then the door opened a crack, and through the crack in the door, a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be covered with fog looked at Allen.

"Vera?" Alan tried to exclaim.

The door opened, and it was Vera standing in the back. I haven't seen her for two years, but the girl has grown a lot taller, and she is still thin. Vera seemed to have just gotten up from bed, wearing a skirt as thin as a cicada's wings, and under the tulle, the girl's green carcass/body could be faintly seen.

"Grandpa hasn't come back yet...... Vera's little face didn't have any expression, and even Alan wasn't half surprised to see the sudden appearance. She was still quiet, as quiet as air, and it was easy to ignore the past.

Alan shook the liquor in his hand and said, "I just came back from the Outlands, what about Mr. Hughton, is he out?" ”

"Grandpa, he went to the morning exercise, saying that he had to keep a clear head to do his job well......" Vera's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her chest rose and fell. The person also swayed and looked unusually painful.

Alan was startled, hurriedly put down the spirits, stepped forward and said, "Vera, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"I ......" Vera couldn't say a word, her eyes closed, and she lost consciousness.

Alan hurriedly hugged her, only to feel that the skin at the touch was cold and cold, smooth and silky. Vera fainted in his arms, under the black hair and white skin, the delicate collarbone line, and the faintly visible undulating curve of the neckline were revealed. Alan hurriedly picked her up and sent her back to the upstairs bedroom. Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted: "Where did the bastard boy come from, he dared to touch my Weiwei!" ”

Turning back, Hughton, whose hair stood on end, rushed in like an angry lion. In the eyes that were gradually lit up by the source power, Alan saw his own face that couldn't cry or laugh.

Seeing that it was Allen, Huberton did not withdraw the source power that had been urged, and said in surprise: "When did your kid run back?" ”

"It's been a few days since I came back, and I just came back from the surface yesterday, otherwise I should have come to visit you, teacher." Alan Dao.

"What's wrong with Vivi?" Hughton frowned and glanced at his granddaughter.

Alan shook his head and said, "She suddenly fainted, Vera, has she always had this symptom?" ”

"Nonsense, her face is a little pale, but she is in good health. In the past two years, I have also built my own circuit, forming an engraving, how can I say that I am dizzy. Hughton said with a blow on his beard.

Vera groaned and opened her eyes. Seeing himself lying in Allen's arms, a trace of crampedness appeared in Furui Bubo's eyes. This human expression made the girl look a little angry, and Alan quickly put her down, and Hughton reached out to touch her forehead. Vera gently brushed his hand away and said, "I'm fine, grandpa." ”

"Why are you fainting when you're fine?"

"Because I saw something I shouldn't see......" Vera said as she walked to the attic, turning her face sideways at the top of the stairs, "I can't see your future clearly, or rather, your future is obscured by flames." It was like a fire curtain that wanted to light the whole world, obscuring my vision......"

Leaving these words, the girl floated away like a ghost.

It is clear that this sentence was addressed to Allen. Vera has always had the ability to peek into the future, though only one of the endless possibilities she can see. But it should be the first time that she can't see clearly like this time, and her coma should be related to the flames that blocked her vision. It was a backlash of ability, Alan looked at Hughton, and the old general raised his hand and said, "Don't ask me, I've never seen Vera's mark." She also shy away from talking about her abilities, all I know is that since she had the Engraving, she could see the future a hundred times clearer than before. ”

"If even she can't see through it......" Hughton's expression as he looked at Allen had become a little strange.

Alan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing that you can't see through it, anyway, in the future, as long as you keep moving forward, don't you know?" ”

"You can't say that. Let me see, is this the wine you brought? Flaming Volcano, good fellow, you're going to get me drunk? ”

"Early in the morning, the teacher won't drink, right?"

"Stupid, how can you have time to drink!"

In the attic, at the corner of the staircase, Vera stands against the wall. Alan's words were heard by her, and the girl sighed faintly: "If you keep moving forward, you will push yourself into the sea of fire." ”

"What is the future ......of flames?"

On the same morning, the attic of the Mowson manor resounded from time to time with the cries of maidens, making the morning seem a little noisy.

"No, this one is too plain, I've changed it to another one."

"This one doesn't work, the waistline is not narrowed, it will make me look bloated!"

In the study, old Kate was drinking black tea, and from time to time she showed an expression of listening. The housekeeper next to him said with a smile: "Miss Adele seems to be keen on wearing women's clothes lately, and I receive the clothes she ordered every day." ”

"That's a good thing, otherwise dressing like a tomboy every day would really give me a headache. But then again, Adele seems to be stimulated. Old Kate smiled.

The butler whispered in his ear, "I heard that Young Master Allen came back this time and brought a female companion. ”

Old Kate suddenly realized: "It turns out that my Adele is preparing for war." ”

"I'm afraid so."

Then there was a knock at the door, and the butler opened it, and outside the door was a servant. After the two whispered a few words, the butler walked back and said, "Someone wants to see Miss Adele." ”

"Who is it?"

"The young master of the Jin family." Butler Road.

Old Kate raised her head, patted her head and said, "I remember, a few of them formed an alliance. Let Adele know. ”

"Yes, sir."

In the attic, the little maid Sophie sat down on the ground, looked at Adele, who was almost buried by her clothes, and said, "Miss has always been used to wearing men's clothes, why do you suddenly want to change to women's clothes?" ”

Adele was looking in the mirror, adjusting the dress on her body and said, "If I don't dress ladylike, Alan will treat me as a brother and forget that I'm a girl!" ”

Sophie said with a confused face: "Hasn't Miss always minded?" ”

"Stupid, that's for someone else! Alan, Alan is different! Adele gritted her teeth and said, "Besides, I can't lose to that double ponytail!" ”

Someone knocked on the door and said, "Miss Adele, Young Master Jin Liancheng wants to see you." ”

"What is he doing here?" Adele said strangely, and called Sophie, "Help me change my clothes." ”

After a while, she changed back into her usual men's clothes and came to the living room, where Jin Liancheng was sitting precariously. Adele picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit pot on the table, threw them into her mouth one by one, sat opposite Jin Liancheng like a noble son, and said, "Early in the morning, you have something to do with me?" ”

Jin Liancheng smiled and said, "I'm here to say goodbye." ”

"Goodbye?"

"Didn't I say a few days ago, I'm going to the surface to deal with some family affairs. I'm going to leave today. ”

"Oh, have a nice trip." Adele said heartlessly.

Jin Liancheng shook his head and said, "Adele, I only made a special trip to say goodbye to you alone. ”

Adele heard what he said, frowned, and said, "If you want to say anything, just say it straight to the point, I hate beating around the bush." ”

"That's fine." Jin Liancheng nodded and said, "Since Alan came back, have you noticed that you have become different from usual?" ”

"So what?" Adele said nonchalantly.

"Adele, we are friends. Standing in the shoes of friends, I have to remind you. As far as I can see, you are playing with fire. ”

The atmosphere suddenly changed in politeness.

Adele looked at Jin Liancheng solemnly and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Didn't I say it clearly enough? Adele, do you really like Alan? Or do you want to do something with Allen? Jin Liancheng said lightly: "But no matter what you think, I have to say, you must not use your feelings as a bargaining chip." Our alliance, Leon and Allen will be an important fulcrum for the foreseeable future. I don't want one of the pivots to collapse because of some of your unwise behavior. ”

"What's more, feelings are a double-edged sword. Once you don't use it well, you will not only hurt others, but also hurt yourself. Jin Liancheng sighed: "You and Alan are my good friends, and I don't want to see you turn against each other in the future because of this kind of thing." Adele, you're smart. That's why I'm worried that you won't be able to get around that circle in your heart. ”

Jin Liancheng stood up and said, "Leon will be back soon, he estimates that there will be some trouble, but it is not necessarily impossible to solve." After he returned, plus Allen's status in the family grew. In my opinion, you may not be able to leave the family to make a difference. With our friends, you still have a place in the family. ”

"That's it, I'm leaving."

Adele didn't send off the guests, she sat in the living room, silently ate the bunch of grapes in her hand, and then stood up with her hands clapped. Outside the window, Jin Liancheng had already gotten on a flying car and left. Adele said softly, "You're right, but unfortunately I'm not one of the three of you." And what I want is not that single seat! ”

(Fourth, meow is tired, I have to go to the corpse quickly.) ）R1058
