Standing in front of Hughton's house, Allen looked at the bottle of Flaming Volcano in his hand. This was obtained from the family warehouse. In terms of stamina and sweetness, it was not as good as the "Blue Moonlight" that Horn had given to the old drunkard, but it was the best wine in terms of intensity. Ordinary people simply couldn't drink such strong wine, and if they drank too much, they would even die. Of course, with Major General Hughton's strength, he would only get drunk once.
Allen was afraid that he would get drunk together. Thinking of how his head felt like it was going to split open after a hangover, he would rather go to the battlefield and fight to the death with the enemy.
Knocking on the door, the sound spread to every corner of the house at this moment in the morning. As long as Hughton was at home, there was no reason why he couldn't hear it. Footsteps sounded behind the door, and then the door opened a crack. Inside the crack, a pair of pitch-black eyes that seemed to be covered in mist looked at Allen.
"Vera?" Allen tried to call out.
The door opened, and Vera was standing behind it. After not seeing her for two years, the girl had grown a lot taller and was still thin. Vera seemed to have just gotten out of bed, wearing a dress as thin as a cicada's wing. Under the gauze, one could vaguely see the girl's green body.
"Grandpa hasn't come back yet." Vera's little face was expressionless, and she wasn't even surprised to see Allen suddenly appear. She was still as quiet as the air, so quiet that it was easy to ignore her.
Allen shook the liquor in his hand and said, "I just came back from the Outer Realm. Where's Teacher Hughton? Did he go out?"
"Grandpa went for morning exercise. He said he needed to keep a clear head to do his work well." Vera's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her chest rose and fell. He also swayed, looking like he was in extreme pain.
Allen was shocked and hurriedly put down the liquor. He stepped forward and said, "Vera, are you not feeling well?"
"I …" Vera couldn't say a word. She closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
Allen hurriedly hugged her and felt that her skin was ice-cold and smooth like silk. Vera fainted in his arms. Under her black hair and white skin, the exquisite collarbone line and the faintly visible undulating curve of her collar were completely revealed. Allen quickly picked her up and was about to send her back to the bedroom upstairs. Suddenly, someone shouted from outside the door, "Where did this bastard come from? How dare he touch my Weiwei!"
Turning around, Hughton, whose beard and hair were standing on end, rushed in like an angry lion. In his eyes that were gradually lit up by Origin Energy, Allen saw his face that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Seeing that it was Allen, Hughton did not withdraw his Origin Energy and said in surprise, "When did you run back?"
"I've been back for a few days. I just came back from the surface yesterday. Otherwise, I would have visited you long ago," Allen said.
"What's wrong with Weiwei?" Hughton frowned and looked at his granddaughter.
Allen shook his head. "She suddenly fainted. Does Vera always have this kind of symptom?"
"Nonsense, her face is just a little pale, but her body is still healthy. In the past two years, I have also constructed my own circuit and formed an engraving. How can I faint just like that? "Hughton said while blowing his beard.
Vera groaned and opened her eyes. Seeing that he was lying in Allen's arms, a trace of awkwardness appeared in his eyes. This humanized expression made the girl look a little more alive. Allen hurriedly put her down, and Hughton reached out to touch her forehead. Vera gently pushed his hand away and said, "I'm fine, Grandpa."
"Why did you faint when you were fine?"
"Because I saw something I shouldn't have seen." Vera walked to the attic and turned her face at the staircase. "I can't see your future clearly, or rather, your future is blocked by flames. It's like a curtain of fire that's going to ignite the entire world, blocking my vision. "
After leaving these words, the girl floated away like a ghost.
Obviously, this sentence was meant for Allen. Vera had always had the ability to peek into the future, even though she would only see one of the endless possibilities. However, it should be the first time that she couldn't see it clearly at all. Her coma should be related to the flames that blocked her vision. It was the backlash of his ability. Allen looked at Hughton. The old general raised his hand and said, "Don't ask me, I've never seen Vera's imprint before. She avoided talking about her abilities. I only know that ever since she had the imprint, 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 already become a little strange.
Allen shook his head and smiled, "It's not a bad thing to not be able to see through it. Anyway, the future is something that doesn't matter as long as you keep moving forward."
"You can say that. Let me see, is this the wine you brought? Flaming Volcano, good fellow, are you going to get me drunk? "
"Teacher, don't drink so early in the morning, right?"
"Idiot, there's no time to drink!"
At the corner of the stairs in the attic, Vera stood against the wall. Ellen'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 exactly is the future of the flames?"
On the same morning, the cries of a young girl rang out from time to time in the attic of the Morsen Manor, making the morning seem a little noisy.
"No, this one is too plain. Change to another one."
"This one won't do either. The waistline isn't narrowed. It will make me look bloated!"
In the study, Old Kate drank black tea and listened attentively from time to time. The butler beside him smiled and said, "Miss Adele seems to be keen on wearing women's clothes recently. She orders clothes every day."
"That's a good thing. Otherwise, it would really give me a headache to dress like a tomboy every day. But then again, Adele seems to have been provoked. "Old Kate smiled.
The butler whispered in his ear, "I heard that Young Master Allen brought a female companion back this time."
Old Kate suddenly realized, "So my Adele is preparing for war."
"I'm afraid so."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. The butler opened the door and saw a servant outside. After whispering 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." The butler said.
Old Kate raised her head and patted her head. "I remember now. The few of them formed an alliance. Send someone to inform Adele. "
"Yes, Master."
In the attic, the little maid, Sophie, sat down on the ground and looked at Adele, who was almost buried in her clothes. "Miss has always been used to wearing men's clothes. Why do you suddenly want to wear women's clothes?"
Adele was looking in the mirror, adjusting her dress and saying, "If I don't dress more ladylike, Allen will treat me as a brother and forget that I'm a girl!"
Sophie said with a confused face, "Didn't Miss never mind?"
"Idiot, that's for others! Allen, Allen is different! "Adele gritted her teeth and said," Besides, I can't lose to that twintails! "
Someone knocked on the door and said, "Miss Adele, Young Master Jin Liancheng wants to see you."
"What is he doing here?" Adele said curiously, and asked Sophie, "Help me change."
A moment later, she changed back into her usual men's clothes and came to the living room. Jin Liancheng was sitting upright. Adele casually picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit bowl on the table and threw them into her mouth one by one. She sat opposite Jin Liancheng like a careless noble young master and said, "Why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
Jin Liancheng smiled and said, "I'm here to say goodbye."
"Goodbye?"
"Didn't I say a few days ago that I was going to the surface to deal with some family affairs? I'm leaving today. "
"Oh, have a good trip." Adele said heartlessly.
Jin Liancheng shook his head and said, "Adele, I'm only going to say goodbye to you."
Adele heard something in his words and frowned, "If you want to say anything, just say it. I hate to beat around the bush."
"That's fine." Jin Liancheng nodded and said, "Ever since Allen came back, have you noticed that you're different from usual?"
"So what?" Said Adele indifferently.
"Adele, we're friends. From the standpoint of a friend, I have to remind you. As far as I'm concerned, you're playing with fire. "
The polite atmosphere suddenly changed.
Adele looked at Jin Liancheng solemnly and said, "What do you mean?"
"Am I not clear enough? Adele, do you really like Allen? Or do you want to use Allen to do something? " Jin Liancheng said indifferently, "But no matter what you think, I have to say, you must not use feelings as a bargaining chip. In the foreseeable future, Leon and Allen will become important fulcrum for our alliance. I don't want one of the fulcrum to collapse because of your unwise behavior. "
"Besides, feelings are a double-edged sword. If you don't use it well, not only will you hurt others, you will also hurt yourself. " Jin Liancheng sighed, "You and Allen are both my good friends. I don't want to see you turn against each other because of this in the future. Adele, you're smart. That's why I'm worried that you won't be able to get out of the circle in your heart. "
Jin Liancheng stood up and said, "Leon will be back soon. He will probably have some trouble, but it's not impossible to solve." After he came back, Allen's status in the family was growing. In my opinion, you may not be able to see that you have to leave the family to make a difference. With us as friends, you will still have a place in the family. "
"That's all I have to say. I'm leaving."
Adele did not see her guests off. She sat in the living room and silently ate all the grapes in her hand. Then, she clapped her hands and stood up. Outside the window, Jin Liancheng had already boarded the flying car and left. Adele whispered, "You're right. It's a pity I'm not any of the three of you. And what I want is not just a mere seat! "
(Fourth watch, meow tired to death, I have to go to the corpse quickly.)
