The hall was silent, everyone looked at Horn. Horn's face was as deep as water, and he slowly turned around, looking at the boy who spoke boldly.
Back then, Lanni eloped with a man of unknown origin and escaped from the floating island. Horn would be angry and remove his favorite daughter from the family. Now that ten years have passed, the wound that once injured the visible bone has gradually healed. Especially finding Allen back was even more comforting for Horn. Out of the psychology of compensation, coupled with Alan's own abilities, Horn intends to cultivate this grandson as the heir.
But now, the bold boy had opened Horn's wounds. The four people of the "skins on the surface" even sprinkled a handful of salt on his wounds, and Allen's father was absolutely a taboo for him. Now, the boy spoke out brazenly.
"Grandpa, haven't you said how strict Bethkod's house rules are? How come I don't look like it, isn't it you who lied to me?" A voice rang, but it was Adele from the Mosen family. . She looked at Kate with an innocent look: "Look, a kid who jumps out can question Grandpa Horn's decision. This is also called the strict family rules?"
"Adele..." Old Kate groaned with a headache, and looked at his granddaughter and said, "Just take it for me, and shut your evil little mouth!"
At the same time, looking at Adele, the loud boy and Roddy. Roddy's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were filled with anger, looking scary. Adele stuck out her tongue and ran behind Kate and said, "Uncle Roddy don't look at me like that. Adele doesn't understand anything. Don't take what I just said to your heart."
Roddy laughed in anger. The fairy of the Morsen family was already involved in the family business at a young age, so how could he be someone who didn't understand anything. If someone treats her as an innocent little girl, then hell.
"Reina, your family budget for the second half of the year will be halved. Give it to me now." At this time, Horn said calmly, and looked at his eldest son Roddy: "Perhaps you should have someone teach him. , What is polite."
"I'm sorry, father." Roddy smiled bitterly, and when he turned to look at his son, he had already put on a hideous face: "Reina, don't you go!"
"But father..."
"Get out!" Roddy almost burst out this low drink from his mouth full of steel teeth. If it hadn't been for the presence of outsiders like Kate, he would have roared.
Reina looked at Ellen angrily, as if he wanted to kill him on the spot. Allen looked at him calmly, which made Renner even more annoyed. As he walked past Allen, he said in a low voice: "You wait for me, my brother!"
After Reiner left, Horn announced free activities, followed by social time. It is the first time that Allen has participated in social networking in the upper class and has no idea what to do. Roddy did not leave him in the cold, and talked with him for a while. Especially Roddy, even though his son gave Horn a heavy punishment, he still looked bold, joking and laughing with Allen as if he had forgotten that one happened just now.
As for the foreign guests, in addition to Kate, some other guests also offered a kind olive branch to Allen. These people can become Horn's guests, which one is not a fine fellow. Seeing Horne almost stiffly stated his position, they all guessed that Allen would be the next child of Bethkod's next focus, and they all rushed to talk to Allen. They know very well that if they don't seize the opportunity now, they will convey friendship to this lucky boy. When Allen has his own circle, it will be difficult to get in.
Among them, there are even those who suggest that Allen can be married, which makes the teenagers from the surface a little at a loss.
In fact, Kate has this plan. But he also knew that Alan would not be able to put forward this idea outright before he entered the heir sequence. After all, Mosen and Bethkod are both famous people now, how can they marry off the women of the clan casually.
It was originally something like today, so foreign guests like them are not needed to be present. Horn made such an arrangement to show his position to friends in the circle and recommend Allen. Secondly, it is also based on the calculation of checks and balances within the family with the help of foreign forces, in order to reduce Allen's future resistance on the road.
Old Kate took all this in his eyes and made his own plans.
Finally the guests let Alan go, and the boy breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the lights in this room, I felt that I thought I had adapted to the prosperity of Babylon, but still dazzled my eyes at this moment of glitz. He quietly retreated to the corner, suddenly feeling that something was looking at him. Looking in the direction of perception, the head of a ferocious devil jumped into Allen's eyes.
This demonic head was hung on the curtain wall in the middle of the hall, supported by metal branches. Allen walked over and looked carefully. The skin of this head is dark red. It is not known whether it has been processed by a certain process or is the original. The surface of the skin glows with a metallic luster under the light. It makes the head look like a piece of red iron.
On the forehead, there are many black bone spurs. The protruding cheekbones caused a pair of eye sockets to sink deeply, casting a large shadow on the cheeks. In the shadow, a pair of eyes flickered under the radiance of the light as if covered with icy debris. At first, Allen thought it was just some kind of handicraft, but from below, he could see a small cervical vertebrae protruding from under his neck.
"This is Blade Demon, one of the most dangerous alien life in Outland Yodon." A voice sounded behind Allen.
Allen turned around and saw a beautiful boy. He was about the same age as himself, with a sunny face and a pair of sea-blue eyes. The appearance is somewhat similar to Bell, especially the pupils of the same color. It's just that Bell's eyes are reminiscent of the ice-filled ocean, and the boy in front of him makes people see the clean sky.
"My name is Regis." The boy reached out his hand, and Alan noticed that he was still holding a long sword in his other hand.
"Allen."
After shaking hands with this seemingly friendly brother, Allen asked humbly: "What is the Blade Demon?"
"A creature that hates any life. Their bones are close to metal. Some parts of the body can eject bone blades like blades. It is worth mentioning that the blood of these things is comparable to fire oil and can be used as fuel. Use." Regis pointed to the head above the curtain wall and said: "That was when Grandpa was young, he was a demon general, Habick, who fought and beheaded in Outland Yodon. This was a feat at the time. After all, except Outside of the Federation and Idahua’s army, we, Beth Kod, were the first nobles to fight in the chaotic battlefield of the Yorton Star Territory. The achievements of the grandfather back then were even looked down upon by the wealthy, which can be said to be family At the most glorious time." Regis' small face was full of respect: "I hope that in the future, I can expedition to Yodon and kill those dirty guys like Grandpa!"
Hearing these words, Alan couldn't help but look at Horn, and at this moment Regis said again: "I heard that you are the winner of the death ring?"
"Yes."
Regis nodded and said, "I've seen the scene of your battle. Your knife is used well. Let's take a test when we have time."
He lifted the sword in his hand and tapped Alan's chest with the handle of the sword.
Allen gently pushed away the handle of the sword: "I am happy to accompany you."
Regis laughed: "I'm starting to like you, Ellen. Renner and they are afraid to compete with me, it's terrible." After speaking, the boy walked to the other side.
Allen smiled, he was not disgusted with the brother Regis. Although Regis was young, he had gradually revealed his edge. From his eyes, Allen saw a vast sky. Perhaps this boy, Horne said, the boy who holds a starry sky.
At this time, a faint voice sounded: "If it were me, I wouldn't allow Regis's little madman to compete with swords."
Allen saw that a big boy with impeccable looks and dress came over with a wine glass and handed one of them to Allen. He said graciously: "I am Kodov and Heydrick is my father."
"Then, my brother. I seemed to have heard you promise to compete with Regis?"
"Is there a problem?" Allen took the glass and asked ~EbookFREE.me~Kordoff shrugged and said, "Do you know why we don't compete with that kid? Because that's a little lunatic, he's not a contest. It’s called desperately. So if you are fighting with him, don’t think about any kind of mercy. Otherwise..."
He wiped his throat.
Allen looked at him, and Kodoff laughed, patted little Allen on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I just teased you. Although the little lunatic is a headache, it's not that kind of unknown. Sorry, you can fight him without worry."
"Scared me." Allen patted his chest and said, he wasn't afraid that Regis would fight hard. It's just that, he will inevitably have to use ruthless tricks, and it won't be good for anyone to win.
"You are so funny. I have the opportunity to ask you some interesting things on the surface. In return, I can teach you how to be a real man." Kodov blinked and added: "I know a lot of girls."
"Really? Then why don't you introduce me to it!" Adele's open voice intervened.
Hearing her voice, Kodoff immediately put on a bitter face: "Mosen's fairy, no, I got a headache when I saw her, Alan, I'll go first."
Then he left Alan unscrupulously and had a haha with Adele. Kodov left in embarrassment like a mouse hitting a cat. Adele walked up to Ellen, reached out and grabbed the glass in his hand, and poured the unfinished wine into her mouth.
"That's..." Allen felt a little embarrassed. Adele did this for the wine glass he had just drunk, wouldn't it be equivalent to indirect kissing?
Adele raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, I'll send Bethkod's Tyrannosaurus and Snow Lizard for you. You should thank me. What's wrong with buying me a drink?"
