The sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
Sylphy walked in from the main gate of the mansion, her brows furrowed, her expression looking a little flustered and a little resentful. She looked out the door behind her and walked towards where Alan was.
Then, at the corner, when he was about to lose his vision, he wrinkled his nose, snorted heavily, and immediately took a step, changing from a quick walk to a trot, and turned his head at the same time.
Then he bumped into Allen.
The hair rises and then falls.
Sylphy looked at the swordsman's uniform that was too familiar to her face, and raised her head slowly and stiffly.
In her sight was Alan's smiling face. He looked straight at her with a helpless, yet doting expression.
Sylphy's pupils trembled, the angry expression on her face disappeared instantly, and she immediately lowered her head!
Subconsciously I wanted to find a place to hide.
But he put his head directly into Allen's arms.
The body seemed even stiffer.
She subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but the scene of Alan putting the necklace on her suddenly flashed through her mind, and she stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.
They put on necklaces, expressed their feelings to each other, danced the love dance, kissed hands, and even Rudy went out with another girl. He did what adults should do, and he still lingered and didn't come back during class time.
I have to hide from Allen. Will he hate me?
But I'm so shy. This is Alan.
But if I back off, does that mean I'm rejecting Allen again? I already did it once last night.
But the teacher hasn't yet.
Before she could continue, Alan's body temperature, which was several degrees higher than Norda's, slowly dropped from top to bottom.
It slid slowly across her cheek, chest, collarbone, the shining magic stone necklace at her neck, neck, and chin.
Finally, it was Alan's smiling face. He squatted down as usual and looked up at Sylphy's reddish-brown pupils.
He reached out his hands and pinched her cheeks.
As the latter began to spin mosquito coils, he asked with a smile.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Sylphy subconsciously grabbed Alan's hand, her ears trembling constantly. In her hesitation, she suppressed the urge to pull Alan's hand away from her face for a moment, and just silently pinched the back of Alan's hand in protest.
He spoke with some stammering.
"Lu! Luludi hasn't come back yet, so what about us?"
"We! We! We. That!!!"
But he didn't know what he was thinking about. He let out a scream and covered his face with the back of Alan's hand.
Allen was stunned, and suddenly thought that Sylphy in this timeline had not yet been influenced by Ariel's private life in the capital, and was still very shy about this slightly intimate action.
But this stuttering is quite severe.
He grabbed Sylphy's hand and pulled it away from her face.
Looking directly at Sylphy's eyes, she was a little flustered and kept glancing around.
"Rudy hasn't come back yet, so I can't go to class. Is this what you want to say?"
Sylphy blushed and nodded.
Alan smiled.
"I'll bring him back, but don't be angry. If I'm not mistaken, he must have run into some trouble."
Sylphy was stunned, "Trouble?"
Alan nodded and reached out to touch the scabbard at his waist that was already dragging on the ground.
In the buzzing sound.
The words fell.
"Little trouble, I will bring him back before the sun sets. As for mom, please go and talk to her."
Sylphy glanced at the knife on Alan's waist, then looked up at Alan's eyes again.
Didn't ask why.
Just nodded.
"good."
——
Alan moved quickly through the atrium at an extremely fast speed.
The system panels that kept appearing in front of him were smashed.
[My mind is full of murderous intent now. Is this why you thought of Darius and James just now? ]
Alan smiled.
He held the knife at his waist and squinted at the gate of Boreas Mansion which was approaching him on the highway not far away.
Fragments of memory flashed through my mind.
Yesterday at noon, when he came back from the gate after helping Rudy buy fuel, there was a lot of noise outside the gate, but some information was still too clear to his senses.
What a pleasant surprise.
I didn't expect that the kidnapping case in the original book had a sequel, and it was perfectly connected logically.
'.Haha, what else? Didn't you see what I was thinking at the gate of the mansion yesterday? '
[.I saw it, are you playing the role of a chivalrous hero? ]
Alan shook his head.
'Roya, the entrance to the banquet, underground forces, the Night Lion Thieves, human trafficking, Whiting Town, the location where Alice's kidnapping occurred in the original storyline, James, Darius.'
'The information is connected.'
"On the first day I arrived at the Boreas family, I bypassed the kidnappers in the original book and directly pulled out Thomas, but now I think the people who attacked me should have been hired from the killer group. Their goal was not to kidnap me, but to kill me. So they were not the same group of kidnappers in the original book. Sauros did pull out some nails by following the clues, but not completely."
"Darius is in collusion with James. He is under the command of the Night Lion Thieves, who have spread their power across the country and have issued a wanted order for me. Only an underground force of this size can make a living in human trafficking. The latter used the information provided by James, who is very familiar with Roya, to find some "playthings" for Darius in Roya, the lair of Boreas, and sent them to Roya, forming an industrial chain."
'Among them, the reward that the bandits should pay is the beast girls. This is what Boreas would do. Saulos and Philip want it, and there are many people flocking to it. This is why the low-level noble was able to obtain the qualification to enter the banquet. He has a stable source of beast girls.'
'What did they get in return? They were some girls from poor noble families who wanted to use their bodies to gain power and influence at the banquet, plus a small amount of money. These people were natural targets for kidnapping, because their disappearance would not have any impact on Roya. At most, they would become a missing person notice posted outside the city wall after a few days. As time passed and their original families were too busy to take care of them, they gradually became a useless piece of white paper. No, it is more likely that their original families would think that these girls chose to elope in order to escape the "responsibility" of family revival. Not only would they not bother to find them in private, they would also scold them for being shameless.'
"Haha, the hobbies and needs of the nobles in the capital are such that they cannot look for high-quality noble girls under their noses every day. After all, the noble girls in the capital are in the power center, and they are either rich or noble. If they want to kidnap, they will choose those far away from the capital for safety."
[Oh? So you want to take care of it? What does this have to do with your search for Rudy? ]
Alan smiled and glanced at the system panel passing by his ear, with an inexplicable look on his face.
"I can't manage or save the Asura Kingdom even if I die. Even if I save them, some of those poor noble girls may end up being toys for the big shots in the capital, which is a better fate than staying at home. Isn't that ironic?"
"I am not a good person who does nothing but take care of things. If you want to hear the reason why I intervene, I will tell you."
'One: Old grudge: The guy from the Night Lion Thieves knows me. He doesn't want money for this deal. Instead, he wants to ask the big-bellied pig who can enter the banquet to find out some information about me. However, he doesn't need to find out this information because he saw me in person afterwards.'
[Oh?] The system panel froze for a moment, then returned to normal.
"When I passed by him, his heartbeat and expression betrayed him. It seems that James already knew that I came to Roya. Calculating the time, a year is almost up. If he didn't have this spy in Roya, he wouldn't be the head of the family. He is still determined to do evil."
He glanced at the system panel with an inexplicable look on his face, but he simply skipped over this reason.
'Two: New grudge: Why hasn't Rudy come back yet? I also 'met' that low-level noble with a big belly last night. His main business in Roya is to rent some hotels and brothels outside the city. On the surface, it sounds nice, haha, 'specially providing after-party entertainment facilities', but in fact it's just to facilitate the search for suitable candidates. '
'As for Rudy, it is very likely that he was drugged and taken away in a car yesterday. He had little presence at the banquet this week, so the possibility of him being affected is very high. As for whether this is possible, we will know once we go to his house and ask.'
As he was talking in his mind, Alan had already reached the gate of the mansion.
'Three: Still an old grudge.'
Just as he was about to step out of the gate, he was stunned, stopped, and turned to look at the young figure who was stepping heavily from the stable to show his 'emotion' beside the gate.
But he smiled and continued to add.
"I am a person who holds grudges. Even if some things happened in the original book, I still remember them clearly."
Her fiery red hair fluttered in the air, and she ran to Alan in just a few steps, with some straw from the stable in her dress.
It's Alice.
This week, Alice was not kidnapped by the kidnappers and taken to Weiting.
But who knew that in the last week, the kidnapping was not instigated by James?
And the scene where Alice was kicked to the point of vomiting blood.
Alice, the younger sister, 'can't remember'.
Alan, the older brother.
But I remember it very clearly.
Ah, I have a day off tomorrow and I didn't check the time. I have been writing the outline and it's already this late. Sorry.
(End of this chapter)
215. Chapter 209 Feast [5k]
215.
Alice kept on walking, and finally she braked firmly and stopped in front of Alan.
The first glance was towards Alan's legs as he was about to step out of the door.
He raised his eyebrows.
A curl of the lips.
Cross your arms across your chest.
"elder brother"
Alice's raised tongue sound was stuck in her mouth for a long time, but she didn't say it out loud. She just stared at Alan.
"You all lied to me! You are the Alan from the capital! The Alan from the capital is not my cousin!"
After a night and a morning, I finally realized that the identity information was wrong. The young lady who had completed the identity transformation seemed a little awkward.
Alan couldn't help but laugh, he glanced at the door of Boreas, and instantly understood what Alice was trying to do.
He tilted his head and looked at Alice, but did not respond to Alice's question.
"Your Kenshin-ryu has reached an advanced level, and you witnessed me swinging the Light Sword this morning. So..."
"How does it feel?"
Alice blinked and looked down at the scabbard on Alan's waist.
Then he very obediently lowered his arms from his chest.
"I want to swing the sword! But I don't know where to start." She immediately changed from a resentful sister to a respectful student, with some thoughts like 'Teacher is so awesome, I feel so sorry for your cultivation'.
The intuitive type's identity change is very natural.
Alan stretched out his finger and flicked away the straw sticking out from her shoulder.
"Very good, it seems that there is only one last step left."
He leaned over, lowered his eyes, placed his gaze in front of Alice's face, and looked straight at Alice.
The latter raised his fiery red eyebrows high as he looked at Alan's majestic yet kind face in front of him. His eyebrows raised and lowered above his eyes, and his expression kept flashing between awe and resentment, like changing his face. It was very cute and interesting, but his pupils kept looking at Alan.
Just don't look away!
Alan looked at Alice's expression quietly for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"I'm going out for a while, do you want to come with me?"
Alice's eyes lit up. She had been planning to use Alice Meow's "seduction" method which always worked, but when she saw Alan actually took the initiative to invite her, she immediately became excited.
"Okay! Where do you want to take me to play, teacher?" Guangzhi changed his mind.
Alan was the person she longed to be and desired to become. Whether she was angry on the surface because of the concealment, but actually acted like a follower and wanted to go out and play with Alan, or the blood relationship that came into play, she subconsciously looked forward to calling him brother.
