Chapter 55: 　 turning point

Every family that can enter the top-level society has passed the test of time. These families can be traced back at least a hundred years, while old nobles like Bethkode have a glorious history of more than two hundred years. These old aristocrats are the mid-stream of the Federation, and often such families are behemoths.
In their genealogy, the relationship is complicated, just like those prosperous ancient trees, whose roots must spread for an unknown number of meters underground. Beskode is no exception, and like many families, it usually divides many family members into direct blood relatives and off-branches.
In order to ensure the prosperity of the family, usually the position of patriarch will only be produced in direct blood relatives. Of course, in certain turbulent times, there are also examples of off-branches seizing the position of patriarch. But that is a very small minority after all, and even if it succeeds in winning the throne, that family will definitely suffer a serious injury. After all, most of the family's power and wealth are in the hands of immediate blood relatives.
Just like a swarm of bees, in a huge family system, the direct and side branches also have a division of labor. After the War of Dawn, this division of labor became more apparent. Generally speaking, some relatively mild tasks in the family business will be taken care of by the offshoot family. They will be responsible for most of the family's business dealings, just like the worker bees in the swarm, accumulating wealth for the family.
Direct blood relatives have to shoulder the responsibility of developing family business and expedition to foreign battlefields. They have to lay down more colonial stars for the family, and establish a safe and stable business route between these colonized planets and the earth, so that the family can profit from it. To put it simply, the duty of the collateral family is to be responsible for the business operations of the family, while the direct blood relatives have to find more sources of wealth for the family.
In this mode, in fact, the chances of direct blood relatives falling are relatively much higher. However, every direct child who can stand firm in the battlefield of the Outland, is a hero of one party, and its position in the family system is also difficult to shake. Because in the final analysis, their achievements are played out, they are the real strength faction!
Vincent's family is a collateral of Beskod, and his family takes care of the operation of more than two commercial chains on the surface for Beskod. In order to stand out from the other tribes, Vincent’s father spared no expense to send his son to the Dawn Blade Academy for the children of the family in Babylon. Vincent did not live up to his father's expectations and achieved excellent results in the college.
The evaluation of the younger generation of children comes from many aspects. Among them, the performance of the Dawn Blade Academy is one of the important assessments. If Vincent can graduate successfully, then a position of foreign affairs director should not be able to escape. Although it is completely incomparable with the direct children in terms of the resources to obtain family funding, in the side branch, the foreign affairs director is also a hot position.
Aside from the arrogance and arrogance shared by the descendants of the family, Vincent also has a clever and flexible mind. So after listening to Kodov's words, he was immediately moved. He frowned and said: "You mean, Chief Horne intends to train this kid named Allen into a certain important position? How is this possible, he is just a pariah!"
"Have you seen Ellen's appearance?" Kodoff asked suddenly.
Vincent smiled contemptuously: "How can I care about what a pariah looks like?"
"As far as I know, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of an aunt of mine." Kodov said slowly: "I heard from my father that grandpa loved their youngest sister, that is, Aunt Lanni the most. Ten years. Before, Aunt Lanni suddenly ran away and left the family. Since then, there has been no news. Grandpa regrets it painfully."
Having said that, Kodov closed his mouth, he had given enough tips.
Sure enough, Vincent lost his voice: "So when he saw Alan's appearance, the patriarch was touched by the scene and planned to introduce him into the family to make up for the loss of his daughter?"
"Do you think it's impossible? Even if that Ellen is not our direct child, with his face, who can guarantee that grandpa will not train him as the first of the other children?" Sen's shoulder said: "I think you have worked hard for the past two years. It would be a pity if you fell into the position of foreign affairs director just because of someone's face."
Vincent nodded vigorously, even a trace of sorrow appeared on his face: "Thank you for your reminder. I will not forget the help of Cousin Kodov."
"It's nothing, I'll just say a few words casually. Okay, I have to go to other places. These two beauties are hard to deal with." Kodov laughed, stood up, moved his arms and hugged Two hot girls walked out of the deck.
Vincent sat in the deck for a while before he walked out. Other companions invited him to drink, but he shook his head, and hurriedly left when something happened, leaving a few boys with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, I don’t know who yelled: "Vincent is gone, who will pay the bill tonight?"
So the teenagers began to struggle with new problems.
Watching Vincent lower his head into his seat frame and quickly leave the twilight, Kodoff smiled slightly. He was also sitting in an elongated Magic Speed ​​car, and two women kissed his cheek and helix. Kodoff didn't seem to feel it. A fifty-something old man with a beard and sharp eyes sat opposite him and said, "Master, just to test the Alan's words, just leave it to me. Why bother to let Vincent do it."
"Mr. Robert, you should know that he was the person Grandpa invited. This shows that for whatever reason, Grandpa attaches great importance to this kid. So like this thankless thing, it’s better not to get involved with us, just let Vincent will do it for you." Kodov finally got a reaction, reached out into one of the women's chest, clasped the plump semicircle and smiled: "We only need to watch the show, there is no need to get fishy, ​​right? ?"
Then he said: "Drive, these two little female cats can't wait."
The two women giggled, one of them squatted to Kodov's feet, panting slightly, and began a fierce offensive. The old man named Robert had cold eyes, as if he hadn't seen the intense peach scene in the car at all.
When Allen woke up, it was dawning. His face was sticky, he wiped it off and it was all sweat stains, but the sweat was full of strong alcohol. Looking around, Tonisf and the other soldiers who were reveling in Dadan last night were still sleeping. They occupied the tables and sofas randomly, and some even slept on the ground holding wine bottles.
Thinking of the war song they sang last night, and looking at these straightforward soldiers, Allen suddenly felt that not everyone in Babylon wears false masks.
"This is the troublemaker."
There was a sound coming from the direction of the bar, where a few small lights were on, illuminating only one end of the bar. Under the light, a burly, but well-dressed old man was wiping the bar. He lowered his head and said, "But I like them. When I see these bastards, I think of myself when I was young. I'm sorry to let you listen to a bunch of old people's complaints. My name is Yuki, and I have known the old fellow Hutton for a long time. . I heard he coached you?"
"Yes, thanks to Mr. Hughton's guidance, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't stand here." Allen stood up and said, somewhat disappointed: "He also said that he would be interested in learning Rubik's Cube sequence from him in the future. Design, but I didn’t see him after the game."
"He came last night, just when you were asleep. In fact..." Yuki took out a note from his pocket: "This is the address he gave you. Go when you want to learn those shit. Look for him. Oh, he also said that you have to bring good wine when you go, or he won't open the door, this old drunkard!"
Allen took the note from Yuki. It turned out to be a line of address. He looked at the old man and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Yuki."
"You're welcome, just remember to come to join you when you have time." Yuki looked outside the door and murmured, "It should be almost done."
"What's the same?"
"The person who came to pick you up~EbookFREE.me~ should be almost there." Yuki put down a shiny glass: "On Babylon, there is nothing Bethkode does not know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bar was pushed open, and the butler Heising walked in, looked at Alan and said, "Little master, please go with me, the master asked me to pick you up."
"but I……"
"It's okay, I have already packed your things for you, so there is no need to go back to the training center." Haixin said carefully.
Allen spread his hand and said, "Well then."
He said to Yuki again: "Please say goodbye to Tonisf for me. I will find him when I have time."
"It must be brought."
Alan and Heising walked out of the bar, and a speeding car with Beskard's family crest was parked on the street in front of the bar. The main body of the coat of arms of this family is a shield with a lion-shaped eagle-headed beast pattern painted on the shield, and a symmetrical long sword pattern is extended around it. The colors are mainly black and yellow, which are very eye-catching.
This badge is the emblem of the Beskard patriarch. The badges of other races are extended and changed based on this, but some things are not allowed to be used. For example, the lion-body eagle-headed beast, and the long sword can only be used by the patriarch.
When Allen's name is included in the successor sequence, he will also have his own badge, which is a symbol of status and a business card for social interaction among aristocrats. Of course, for Allen at this time, he still has nothing in Beth Cordery.
In the Magic Speed ​​car, Allen watched the car drive away from Golden Wing Street and headed east. Gradually, the buildings on both sides of the road began to disappear, being replaced by rolling mountains and green trees. The sun is rising from the east, and the brilliant sunshine is like a gift from God, bathing the entire Babylon in a golden light.
A new day has arrived, and Allen will usher in the most important turning point in his life.
