"Miss, what are you doing? Are you jealous of this? Does it make sense? I have known Alan longer than you!" The first three sentences were sincere, but the last one was obviously meant to deliberately anger Alice.
Allen looked at Rudy in surprise. If they were not buddies, how could they be compared?
Alice was stunned for a moment, and felt a little guilty for a moment, but the Sword God Style's quick reaction ability allowed her to come up with a response. "Huh? Ai Allen is my brother! Is he your brother?!" She raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms, and looked very proud.
Allen looked at Alice in astonishment. "No, I am indeed Rudy's distant brother. It is definitely not okay for you to refute him like this. This is not the way to debate. He will definitely use this to refute you."
Rudy curled his lips and refuted.
It is quite powerful.
"Tsk, Alan isn't my brother, but my dad cried in his arms."
Alan:??? Huh???
Alice stared at Rudy for a moment, her face twisted. She was overwhelmed by the other party's sophistry logic from the Internet age, so she took a deep breath.
He was ready to draw his knife and kill Rudy.
Then Rudy suddenly turned around and looked around. During the argument, he came to his senses and finally realized that something was wrong with the environment.
He was stunned for a long time, and then he saw the blood gradually seeping out of the door on the ground. He ran to the door in two steps, and then he saw the sea of blood and corpses outside the outer hall. His face turned pale, his skin twitched several times, and he leaned over and started to vomit.
Alice, who was standing by, raised her lips when she saw this, and finally put down the knife, revealing an expression of 'winning'.
Alan stroked his forehead and shook his head helplessly. He flicked his hand and tapped the handle of Alice's knife, then turned his head and looked at Alice.
Alice had a stubborn face, her expression remained unchanged, but her pupils were silently glancing sideways at the air beside her.
Seeing this, Alan realized that Alice understood what he meant, so he rubbed her head, turned around and walked over to pat Rudy on the back, but at the same time looked around - there were only Rudy and two noble girls in the inner hall of the warehouse.
"You shouldn't be the only ones there. The people brought by the thieves' group haven't been found yet. Let's go look for them."
"Ugh, where is this, Alan? What's going on? Who hasn't been found yet?"
"Go out first, I'll tell you while I'm searching."
——
By the time everyone returned to Boreas, the sun was almost setting.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the two noble ladies who were kidnapped.
The 'little guys' asked the guards outside and found out that they were locked up in a stable.
They were all small beastmen, only reaching Alice's chest height. This made Alice very angry, and she went back to cut the black snake into a few more pieces.
The group requisitioned the ownerless carriage prepared by the thieves. Although Alan carried Alice all the way here, it only took more than an hour.
The reason they had to go back was because they had to take everyone with them, and the carriage couldn't keep up with the speed of oxen and horses. After they arrived at Roya, they sent the two noble ladies to their respective doorsteps under their reluctant gazes. By the time they returned to the Boreas mansion, the sun had already set.
The setting sun passed over the entrance of Boreas's mansion.
It cast four long shadows on the ground.
Sylphy, Hilda, Philip, Gilena.
Seeing that everyone was covered in blood, Hilda tensed up and looked a little panicked. After repeatedly confirming that everyone was indeed unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sylphy gently stroked the lady's back and glanced at Allen, revealing a helpless and distressed expression, but the latter comforted her with just a smile.
After lunch, throughout the afternoon, Sylphy and Gileno repeatedly told the lady not to worry, saying that Allen was a very stable person and would not do anything without a purpose. But as a mother who had just known Allen for a day, this sudden change in happiness still made her very nervous.
However, this slightly uneasy look melted away quietly when Alice jumped from beside Allen and threw herself into her arms, just like spring snow meeting the sun.
During this process, Gileno silently watched Alice's expression. After seeing Alan swing the sword of light in the morning, her brows had been furrowed, but now they were completely relaxed.
Alice's thoughts were actually reflected on her face. It was easy to understand why she had been frowning after her desire was ignited in the morning. It was because she was too young and her foundation was not as solid as Alan's. Naturally, she could not easily use the flaming desire to burn her swordsmanship at the moment of desire, so as to temper the blade and swing a sharper knife.
She needed some guidance, and Gileno had originally intended to use a month's worth of swordsmanship lessons to help her gradually understand desire and hone her blade.
Unexpectedly, Allen had sharpened her knife in just one afternoon. She looked at Allen in amazement again.
——Alan had brought her too many surprises. Alice's desire had been gradually aroused by Gileno, but the last step was completed by Alan, the new Sword King who had combined desire and swordsmanship a few hours ago and completed the leap to a higher level.
Under Gileno's gaze, in Alice's loud voice describing vividly how Alan killed four people with only two knives, in Hilda's concerned eyes whose face grew paler as she listened, and in Rudy's constant apologies to Sylphy.
Alan walked over to Philip.
Stand still.
Father and son, separated by the threshold of the mansion.
One person is inside the mansion, and the other is outside the mansion.
The sound of conversation was heard, but they were well controlled so that only the two of them could hear it.
So intimate.
"Where did you go? Why did you kill so many people?"
Alan seemed a little bored as he rubbed the blood on the ground with his feet without even raising his head.
"You know the answer but you still ask, why don't you just pull out the nails?"
Philip tilted his head and looked at Alan's face with a smile.
"If we pull it out, we'll have to go through the trouble of finding new nails. Since it's harmless, it's easier to control the situation if we leave it there."
"However, this time there was another accident."
"No, you misunderstood. This was under control from the beginning to the end. I asked Gilenu to keep an eye on it at noon on the day of the banquet, but she told me that you seemed to have discovered it. You went to find Pi Yanzi at the banquet in the evening to confirm this, so I knew you knew. I was waiting for you to come to me, but I didn't expect you to act on your own. But that's fine, since you've killed them, then let's kill them. I'll deal with the follow-up later. Those orc children can stay in the mansion."
Alan smiled and shook off the blood scabs on his trouser legs at his feet.
"You have confidence in me."
Philip followed the sound, looked down at the blood scabs and residue, and smiled.
"You never disappoint me in terms of making me look at you with new eyes. I am really curious about the upper limit of your ability. I can see clearly that you are more mature than I expected in terms of judgment, layout and planning ability, but your martial arts ability really shocked me. You actually jumped to the level of Sword God King in just one year. However, I still think that your ability is..."
"Are you going to talk about your theory of power and authority again?"
Philip glanced at Gileno.
It seems to be saying, look, Gileno is already the Sword King, isn't he also under power?
Alan saw Philip's action without looking up, and just shook his head, indifferent.
Philip looked at Alan, his eyes narrowed into crescents.
"It seems you have a different opinion. Well, I'll wait and see."
Alan finally shook off all the blood and debris on the soles of his feet and took a step forward.
Entering the gate of the mansion.
Passed by Philip.
"You will see."
——
The orc child was eventually taken to the servants' quarters by Li'er and settled down.
At dinner, Sauros also came to eat with us, which was rare. He just confirmed what happened today and didn't ask too much.
After all, when it comes to James, he really doesn't have much to say. This nail is not a nail to him, so he might as well pull it out.
The overall atmosphere was one of joy and happiness.
The banquet is over.
Soon, it was night.
In Allen's dormitory, the flames of candles flickered in the air.
Next to the table, a piece of blood-stained letter paper was casually thrown aside, and the words on it flickered in the candlelight.
This piece of letter paper came from a table in an abandoned warehouse.
It was not shown to Philip and Saulos by Alan.
Allan Boreas Graylat, indeed located at the Boreas House.
Sauros, Philip, suspected to have been identified.
In order to prevent him from being trained by Saulos to be the next head of the family, he was involved in the power struggle in the royal capital under Philip's operation to cause greater variables.
It is recommended to take immediate action, gather the forces that have been assembled, and eliminate them.
I will continue to observe and find the right opportunity to take action.
I repeat, if you do not receive a reply from me within one month and cannot contact me.
No need to initiate contact.
Continue to kill.
--blacksnake.
——
His fingers tapped on the letter, then it was picked up and burned in the candlelight.
The ashes were gathered by the flow secrets and thrown outside through the window. As the wind blew past, no trace of their existence was left.
Alan touched his chin and withdrew his hand, looking nonchalant.
He is reviewing other things.
The effectiveness of "persuasion" was verified today. To be honest, the ability itself is not strong, which is also expected.
So he almost killed the vulture in a brutal way, and apart from a little thought, his main intention was to shock the black snake enough to weaken his willpower.
The goal was achieved very smoothly.
Then, in conjunction with the "reality" that is progressive and in line with the current situation, verbal inducement and step-by-step hints are used until the real intention is fully revealed.
When Black Snake rushed out of the door, he was completely mentally broken. His mind was full of thoughts of escaping, and he couldn't react at all that he was going to be sent to Alice to sharpen his knife.
Even if he had deliberately released clear enough information in advance, letting him know that Alice at the door was actually better at swordsmanship than him, escaping to the door was not the best option.
He still did it, even skipping the step of begging for mercy from Alan.
This is very good.
If used properly, "persuasion" can satisfy people.
Thinking of this, Alan stopped thinking and waited for a moment.
The smoke and dust did not appear in sight.
He squinted his eyes and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking.
The evening breeze slowly came in along the window sill, ruffling Alan's hair.
Alan turned to look out the window and reached out his hand.
Caress the spring breeze.
On the desktop, next to the words "Royal Capital Charles" above the Great Transfer, there were many arrows drawn with a pen, and lines swept down, pointing to the names under the territory of Fitoya.
Hilda, Philip, Saulos, Alice
The wind broke free from Alan's fingers, rushed down along the window sill, hit the table, and swung away, without any coolness.
Spring is here.
"James, you deserve to die."
