Pavlovsk is a large park located on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, very close to the famous Tsarskoye village of Pushkin. In 1777, the Russian Empress Catherine II gave Pavlovsk to her only son Paul, after which the hunting ground that once belonged to the royal family was built a palace and a garden, and after a hundred years of wind and rain, it has become a quiet and beautiful park standing here.

Outside the park, on a tree-lined avenue, two black Buick sedans drove by.

Sitting in the Buick sedan in the back, Liang Xiao and Lin Xiqin, as well as the bespectacled, gentle-looking Ketuso squeezed into the back seat of the car.

"You're from China? Didn't Mr. Annanbo come with you? Looking at Liang Xiao, Lin Xiqin asked curiously.

"No...... Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened. While teasing the kitten in the box on his lap, Liang Xiao looked at Lin Xiqin and said helplessly.

"But you didn't bring anything with you, did you take these little pets with you?" Lin Xiqin seemed to like those cute little creatures, and her slender hand gently stroked the head of a little orange cat.

"yes, I didn't think of that at the time." Liang Xiao smiled a little uncomfortable.

He didn't want to tell me about everything he had been knocked out and put on a train and brought here, it sounded like human trafficking.

Ketuso, who had been listening calmly to the conversation between the two on the side, said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, Mr. An, he should have gone to the Tirnano branch to help you ask for the rating title." ”

"What's that?" Liang Xiao was a little puzzled.

"After each student enters the gathering place, the school will give the highest S and the lowest E ratings, different ratings, different privileges that can be obtained within the association, there will also be additional training, and of course, there are some hidden things." "Of course, this is all something that the federation will decide later, and Mr. Annanbo prefers this." ”

"Moreover, every time he asks for a grade of A or super A, to be honest, this kind of rating is already among the top in the academy, of course, it will not be arbitrarily delegated without a test, and Mr. Annanbo's students, until now, have been recognized as the highest grade is only C."

Hearing Ketuso say this, Liang Xiao's face became a little abnormal.

In other words, helping their own students ask for an excellent grade for their admission, but after the test, they find out that the highest is actually a pass?

This is too true, isn't it, is this gentleman serious?

"Because since he was young, Mr. Annanbo has a particularly strong ability to identify outstanding talents, in short, Bole is relative to Maxima." Looking at Liang Xiao, Lin Xiqin said, "And it's not an ordinary genius, when he left school as an outstanding student, he was always looking for an opponent who could compete with him in his eyes, but every time he found an opponent he liked, he lost quite miserably, and as long as he fought with Mr. Annanbo, without exception, in today's era, he has become an existence that can be recorded in the history books in the future, so there has always been a joke, if you want to become a legend, go and fight with Mr. Annanbo." ”

Ketuso couldn't help laughing a little, stretched out his hand over Lin Xiqin, and patted Liang Xiao's shoulder: "So, in fact, when the tutors of the federation went out to recruit students this time, the entire federation was talking about what kind of student Mr. Annanbo would bring back, although they don't know your name yet, but you are already half a celebrity." ”

Looking at Ketuso, who had a face but was smiling happily, Liang Xiao couldn't laugh.

In that place, if they are all like these guys, one by one, can fight one by one, and they are the first birds now, will there be a good life in the future?

"Also, you're already part of Mr. Annanbo's team, and you're going to be there...... There are some things that must be paid a little attention. Towards Liang Xiao said with a little deep meaning, Ketuso suddenly frowned, and said to Lin Xiqin as if he remembered something, "Eh, by the way, I remember that it seems to be ...... today."

"Ketuso, don't talk too much about mouth ulcers these days, my small medical room can't accommodate too many people." Lin Xiqin smiled at Ketuso.

Ketuso immediately shut up.

Turning her head to look at Liang Xiao, Lin Xiqin smiled soothingly: "It's okay, everyone in the federation has a good relationship, you don't have to have any anxiety." ”

Liang Xiao nodded with some trouble, hesitated for a moment and asked, "By the way, I have a question I want to ask, why are you communicating in Chinese?" ”

This is a question that Liang Xiao has had from the beginning, Lin Xiqin obviously uses English and Russian very fluently, and the Ketuso around him is obviously also European, but he has always spoken Chinese.

"In the early years, the Spirit Master Federation held a unified language vote and finally decided to use Chinese as the lingua franca, which is not surprising." Lin Xiqin explained.

"Everyone supports Chinese?"

"No, it's just that there were more Chinese in the federation who participated in the voting at that time."

……

Next to the main road, among the dense foliage trees, a stone road is carved out that is different from the asphalt road, and the entrance is an electronic gate about ten meters long, and you can see that inside the door is a tree-lined path with a high degree of greenery, quiet and far-reaching, leading to an unknown world.

Getting out of the car, Lin Xiqin said to Ketuso and his party: "Go back to your area, I want to go to the management department first." ”

"Okay." Nodding to Lin Xiqin, Kettuso said, "President Nero wants to invite you to dinner tonight, and it's in his lodgings. ”

"Well, tell him I'll be on time." Lin Xiqin smiled slightly.

Looking at Ketuso and his party who were driving away, Lin Xiqin said to Liang Xiao who was in a daze: "Follow me." ”

Looking up at the gilded English on the gate, Liang Xiao was a little dazed.

Although the English is not good, Liang Xiao can see that the Manor in the back means manor, and the series of English in front should be the name, if you spell it together...... Emir, Emir's estate? How does it sound like a high-end residential garden community?

In front of the gate of the manor, on the stone pillars like white jade, there are ancient Greek style reliefs, and the human standing on the ground with a spear in his hand is facing an angel with wings and a sword behind his back, which looks a little tragic.

Walking to the door, Lin Xiqin entered a line of numbers on the password pad on the doorpost, and with the green light lit up, she turned to Liang Xiao and said, "You are here for the first time, you have to scan the iris to confirm your identity first, Mr. Annanbo should have sent your data to the central computer." ”

"Understood."

Walking forward, Liang Xiao stretched out his head towards the screen on the cipher disk, and when he got closer, he found that there was a miniature scanner connected to the light inside the screen.

A crisp mechanical sound sounded, the red light in the scanner turned green, and the originally closed door slowly opened at this moment.

"Okay, that's no problem, you can now confirm that you're a member of Tirnano." Xiang Liang Xiao smiled and said, "This is a federation, which can also be said to be a gathering place, and there are students from three branches here, namely Tirnano, Avalon, and Eden. Although there will be disputes between each other over some names, they all share the same mission and goal, and they should live in peace when the time comes. ”

"Wait, what do you mean by a common mission and a goal?" Liang Xiao hurriedly asked, this matter must be clarified.

"Be clear about any existence that may threaten the development of human civilization, and by far, the greatest threat to mankind are legends, that is, gods and ghosts."

"Our mission is to destroy the legend."
