Alan looked quietly from behind the tree.

The boy who was talking to Vera had a clear eyebrow, and his dark green hair blurred the outline of his forehead. With a breezy smile on his face, he wore a white shirt under a thin khaki sweater and a twill tie hidden in the collar of the sweater. He wears striped trousers of the same color and squats on a pair of dark leather shoes. The costumes are not eye-catching, but the workmanship and materials are first-class, which makes this boy have a sense of being close to nature, and at the same time, he does not lose the heritage of an aristocratic family.

He pointed out that when 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, and the boy glanced at the other companions, and chuckled, "Miss Vera remembers Lifei, the woman you drew a picture of her." What you painted that day was a scene in her unruly love affair with her uncle. She thought you were looking at the past, but one day when they appeared in a familiar scene, Lifei realized that you were looking into the future. I didn't hear her talk about it, but I learned that Miss Vera has this ability. ”

"It's not good to see the future, especially if I see the future of a certain possibility." Vera looked up and looked directly at the boy in front of her with her emotionless eyes.

Even Alan lost his temper in front of these eyes, and the boy in front of him was even more unbearable. The chic smile on his face suddenly froze, and then subconsciously avoided Vera's gaze. Seeing his companion looking at him in surprise, the boy realized that he had lost his temper. At the moment, he smiled reluctantly: "It's amazing to be able to see a certain possibility in the future." ”

"What is there to be proud of?" Vera said softly, "Time comes from the singularity, and before the singularity, that was the position of the gods. Even the gods couldn't see the future, and what I saw was a vague outline. Like a fish jumping out of the water, but seeing something a little away in front of the river. What's more, it's just a glimpse before entering the water again. But I don't know how many rivers diverge, and what the fish see will be in which tributary. ”

"Miss Vera is very lucky to be able to share the eyes of the gods!" The boy said in a deep voice.

"Lucky?" Vera looked at him, her lead-heavy eyes making the boy bow 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 Webb. We at Van Verny absolutely need talent like you, and even if you can only see a vague fragment, it will be of great benefit to us. I cordially invite you to be the guest of honor of the family, and I can assure you that you will have a worry-free life. The boy finally said 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's heart moved behind the tree, and he seemed to know a little bit about 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 Webb was in a hurry. Glancing at the other companions, the boys immediately retracted and blocked Vera's path. Webber said with some loss of grace, "Miss Vera, please think carefully. ”

Vera didn't answer, and then Alan came out from behind the tree and said, "What are you doing?" ”

When Webb saw that it was Allen, he snorted and said, "It's none of Bethcord's business. ”

"That's right, it's just that Vera is my friend. And now, my friend is leaving. If you don't want to get out of the way, then it's my business. Alan said toughly.

Webber narrowed his eyes: "But Beth Kod, a puppy on the side branch, dares to talk to me like that?" ”

"But the Van Vinny family doesn't know how many heirs they have, so dare to go wild in the Dawn Blade? Do you want to bet me that if I remove you from the heir sequence, your family won't come out for you. On the contrary, those brothers of yours will thank me. Alan sneered back.

Webb remembered that the boy in front of him, who was younger than himself, had just removed Vincent and Josh from his family's succession list, and that he himself was indeed alive and well, and that he did not see Vincent's family or the Weems family troublesome him. After weighing it for a moment, Webb snorted, gestured, and turned around with a few companions to leave.

As soon as they left, Vera didn't even say "thank you" and left silently. After just a few steps, Allen's voice sounded behind him: "As you said yourself, there are countless possibilities in the future, how can you be sure that the kind of future you see will become a reality?" Vera, don't let one or two coincidental facts completely negate the possibility of the future. ”

"Perhaps, it's not all you see that you're looking for a sad future. It's you...... I just want to see that kind of future. ”

Vera's whole body shook, and there seemed to be a different change in her lead-like eyes. But she never spoke, and after a slight pause, she walked away.

That evening, when Windsor Bella returned to her residence on the top floor of the Vilia Building, Nono reported with a brain in her arms: "Miss, the list of selected candidates has been sent to Dean Andrew as you instructed. ”

"Very well, what did the long-winded old man say?"

"Dean Andrew wants to know what your assessment topic is."

Windsor Bello threw himself into a set of soft sofas, his long legs unfiguratively resting on the armrests, and said, "My students can't be soft-footed shrimps, right?" Then, the first round of assessment starts with their combat skills assessment. Let Dean Andrew arrange a time for those eight little guys to play against each other in groups. The four winners can go to the second round of assessment, and as for the questions, let's talk about it later. ”

"Then I'll do it."

Nono was just about to leave, but Windsor Belo stopped her again: "Wait, after the list is announced, there must be some restless guys who will come to inquire about the information." If it's related to those imps, each piece of information will be priced at 100,000 federal dollars; If it involves me, just take a million casually. If they ask for something, they can sell it for three million, no matter how big or small. ”

"Go, tell them the price of the red wolf. This is called the clear real price, and there is no deception! ”

A smug laugh rang out from behind him, and Nono shook his head and went down to work.

When Dean Andrew announced the list of eight students enrolled in Windsor Bello, Babylon set off a wave of buzz. Announced along with the list is the battle skills assessment scheduled for next week. These two pieces of news will be the talk of the Babylonian people before and after dinner, and according to Dean Andrew, Windsor Bello can only choose one of the eight children to teach in person because of his limited energy, and the other few who are not selected can only be registered students. But even a named student with no name is enough to make others blush.

After all, Windsor Bello is famous, so when the names of these eight lucky ones were pronounced out of Dean Andrew's mouth, their status in the family was invisibly elevated. Among these eight people, in addition to Allen, Webber of the Van Verny family is also impressively listed. By the time he heard the news, Webb had forgotten about being rejected by Vera and his unhappiness at Allen's confrontation.

It's just that seeing the name Allen in the list also makes Webb feel like a thorn in the flesh.

"Windsor Bello, this little girl is getting more and more difficult." Horn, who also got the news, said so in his castle study.

Hei Xin stood aside and didn't express his opinion, just looked at his master with a smile.

"Mr. Helsing, why do you think that little girl chose these students?" Horn tapped his finger on the list note that the butler had brought him.

Hai Xin thought for a moment and said, "These students selected by the female marshal, the families behind them are all prosperous, maybe this has something to do with the tuition fees, right?" ”

Horn laughed and said, "The greedy wolf's love for money didn't know about it on the first day, yes, you're right." The students chosen by the little woman of Windsor Bello all have a thriving family behind them, which is enough to afford her tuition. But more importantly, these families either have no relationship with the old party, or they have some grudges with the old party. ”

"With just a few students, Windsor Bello has essentially amassed eight powerful allies for itself. In this way, accumulating wealth is just incidental, and it plays a role in hiding people's ears and eyes. I think Kapro may have had a headache with this news for a while. Horn paused and said, "Mr. Helsing, you go on." From today onwards, we at Beth Kod will no longer touch the business related to the old party. And the business dealings that cannot be shirked are handed over to the Morse family agent. Please ask Cage Sr. for me, I'll have to talk to him. ”

"Yes, sir. As for the young master, is there anything I need to convey for you? The butler asked carefully.

Horn shook his head: "No, 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 a personal student of Windsor Bello, Alan was really excited for a while. The following week, he temporarily canceled his evening trip to Hughton's home to report to the training gym. Allen is actively preparing for the fight, although he, like Horn, is confident in the skill test. But past experience has taught him that he must be fully prepared at all times.

The lion fights the rabbit, still doing his best. It's a matter of importance, and Alan doesn't want to drop the chain at any key link. After returning to the castle over the weekend, he spent his first time using the gravity room. But on Sunday, he only had a regular morning training session in the martial arts training area. In the afternoon, he went to the town of Lewin to visit the children that Willik had taken in.

Horn looked in his eyes and secretly approved. Being able to maintain a calm state of mind before the big war is the kind of suzhì that a strong man should have! I1387
