Allen quietly looked behind the tree.
The boy who was talking to Vera had delicate features, and his dark green hair blurred the outline of his forehead. With a faint 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 wore striped trousers of the same color and a pair of dark leather shoes. The clothes weren't eye-catching, but the workmanship and materials were top-notch. At the same time, this boy gave off a sense of closeness to nature without losing the heritage of a noble family.
When he pointed out that Vera could see the future, the black-dressed girl's shoulder shook, as if she was touched. However, Vera still didn't say a word. The boy looked at his other companions and chuckled, "Miss Vera, do you still remember Lifei, the woman you drew for her?" What you drew that day was a scene of her and her uncle's indecent love. She thought that you were looking at the past until one day, when they appeared in a familiar scene, and Lifei realized that you were looking at the future. I also accidentally heard her mention it, so I knew that Miss Vera had such an ability. "
"It's not a good thing to see the future, not to mention that what I saw was only a possible future." Vera raised her head and looked straight 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 carefree smile on his face suddenly froze, and he subconsciously avoided Vera's gaze. Only when he saw his companion looking at him in shock did the boy know that he had lost his composure. He forced a smile and said, "It's already amazing to be able to see a possibility in the future."
"What's there to be proud of?" Vera whispered, "Time originates from the singularity, and before the singularity is the position of the gods. Even the gods can't see the future clearly, and what I see is a blurry outline. It's like a fish jumping out of the water, but I can see things a little distance away from the river. Moreover, it's just a glance before entering the water again. However, I don't know how many branches of the river there are, and which branch of the river the fish will see. "
"Miss Vera is very lucky to be able to share the gaze of the gods!" The boy said in a deep voice.
"Lucky?" Vera looked at him, her leaden gaze causing the boy to lower his head. She shook her head and said, "That's not luck, that's a curse. You won't understand. No one … will understand. "
"Miss Vera, my name is Weber. Our Fan Vinnie family absolutely needs a talent like you. Even if you can only see a vague fragment, it will still be of great benefit to us. I sincerely invite you to become a distinguished guest of the family. I can guarantee 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 … "
Hiding behind the tree, Allen's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to know why Vera's eyes were always filled with despair. How could a person who could only see a sad future be happy?
Vera turned to leave. Weber was anxious. He winked at his other companions, and the boys immediately gathered and blocked Vera's path. "Miss Vera, please consider it carefully," Weber said, somewhat losing his poise.
Vera didn't reply. At this moment, Allen walked out from behind the tree and said, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that it was Allen, Weber snorted and said, "This has nothing to do with Bescot."
"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. "But Bescot, a puppy from the side branch, dares to speak to me like that?"
"However, one of the many successors of the Fan Vinnie family dares to behave atrociously in the Blade of Dawn? Do you want to make a bet with me? If I remove you from the heir list, not only will your family not stand up for you, but your brothers will also thank me. " On the contrary, your brothers will thank me. "Allen sneered back.
Weber remembered that the kid in front of him, who was younger than him, had just removed Vincent and Josh from his family's inheritance list not long ago. He was still alive and well, and neither the Vincent family nor the Weems family had caused trouble for him. After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Weber snorted, made a gesture, and turned to leave with his companions.
As soon as they left, Vera didn't even say "thank you" and left silently. After taking a few steps, Allen's voice sounded from behind him, "Just like you said, there are countless possibilities in the future. How can you be sure that the future you see will come true? Vera, don't completely deny the possibility of the future just because of one or two coincidences. "
"Perhaps it's not the sad future you see. It's that you … only want to see that kind of future. "
Vera's entire body trembled, and there seemed to be a different change in her eyes that were shrouded in lead clouds. However, she didn't say anything. After a slight pause, she gradually walked away.
That night, when Windsor Bella returned to her residence on the top floor of the Vilya Building, Nono reported with a brain in his arms, "Miss, I have given the selected list to Dean Andrew as per your instructions."
"Very good, that? Lumu Xian Chen Roasted Stool Cut Handsome
"Dean Andrew wants to know what your exam topic is."
Windsor Bellow threw herself into a group of soft sand and put her long legs on the armrest without any image. "My students can't be soft-footed shrimps, can they? Then, the first round of the exam will start with their combat skills. Let Dean Andrew arrange a time for the eight little fellows to fight in groups. The four who win can proceed to the second round of the exam. As for the topic, we'll talk about it then. "
"Then I'll do it now."
Just as Nono was about to leave, Windsor Bellow stopped her again, "Wait, after the list is announced, there will definitely be some restless fellows who will come to inquire about the information. If it's related to those little ghosts, each piece of information will be priced at 100,000 Federation dollars. If it involves me, I'll just casually charge a million. If they ask for something, that's fine. They'll sell it for three million each, regardless of its value. "
"Go, tell the Red Wolf and the others this price. This is called a clear price, honest to the old and the young! "
Windsor Bellow's complacent laughter sounded from behind him. Nono shook his head and went down to work.
When Dean Andrew announced the list of eight students that Windsor Bellow had recruited, there was a wave of discussion in Babylon. Along with the list was the combat skill assessment scheduled for next week. These two pieces of news would become the topic of conversation for the Babylonians before and after tea. Moreover, according to Dean Andrew, Windsor Bellow could only choose one of the eight children to teach personally because of her limited energy. The others who failed could only be registered students. However, even if it was a registered student without a name, it was enough to make others jealous.
After all, Windsor Bellow was famous, so when the names of the eight lucky ones were read out by Dean Andrew, their status in the family had risen by a large margin. Among the eight of them, apart from Allen, the other Weber from the Van Weeny family was also among them. When he heard the news, Weber had already forgotten about being rejected by Vera and the unhappiness of contradicting Allen.
However, seeing that the name Allen was also on the list, Weber felt as if he had stabbed his flesh.
"Windsor Bellow, this little girl, is getting more and more complicated." Horn, who had also received the news, said in his study in the castle.
Helsing stood to the side and did not express his opinion. He only smiled at his master.
"Mr. Helsing, why do you think that little girl chose these students?" Horn tapped his finger on the note sent by the butler.
Helsing thought for a moment and said, "The families behind the female marshal are all prosperous. Perhaps it has something to do with the tuition fees?"
Horn laughed and said, "It's not the first day that Greed knows about money. That's right, you're right. The students chosen by Windsor Bellow all have a prosperous family behind them, enough to afford her tuition fees. But more importantly, these families either have nothing to do with the old party, or they have some grudges with the old party. "
"Just by recruiting a few students, Windsor Bellow has actually recruited eight powerful allies for herself. In this way, collecting money was just a matter of convenience, and it also played the role of deceiving others. What a good move. I think Capullo will have a headache over this news for a while. "Horn paused for a moment and said," Mr. Helsing, tell him to go down. From today onwards, we, Bescot, will no longer touch business related to the old party. As for the business dealings that could not be avoided, they would be handed over to the Moss family. Please make an appointment with Old Cage for me. I need to have a good talk with him. "
"Yes, master. Is there anything Young Master needs me to convey for you? "The butler asked carefully.
Horn shook his head, "There's no need. At least the first round of the combat skill assessment. With Allen's strength, there's no need to worry. "
Allen was excited for a while when he heard that he was expected to become Windsor Bellow's personal disciple. In the following week, he temporarily canceled his trip to Hughton's house every night and reported to the training hall instead. Allen was actively preparing for the battle, even though he, like Horn, was full of confidence in the combat skill assessment. However, past experience told him that he had to be fully prepared at all times.
The lion fought the rabbit with all its might. It was a matter of great importance, and Allen didn't want to drop the chain at any critical juncture. After returning to the castle on the weekend, he exchanged for the time to use the gravity room for the first time. But on Sunday, he only had a morning of regular training in the combat training area. In the afternoon, he ran to Levin Town to see the children that William had taken in.
