Chapter 018: You Want Me
Grant heard Owen tell him to sit, and without pretentiousness, he stepped aside and sat down on the couch.
After he sat down, he noticed that Master Ku had cast his eyes together, and under the seemingly smiling expression, there was an urge to make Grant squirt blood.
"Grant, this kid is handed over to you to deal with, he's really annoying, ask these and that, and don't look at him if he's just a second-order mage, how can he be with a fifth-order mage like the old man." The bitter adult complained dissatisfiedly. If you just look at his expression, you can't believe that this is the kind of thing in your heart.
"Forget it, it's definitely not reliable to let you come, I think I'll leave this matter to myself." Grant heard the tone of the bitter man, and he knew that he didn't want to see someone like Owen. Fifth-order mages could already clearly perceive what the intentions were exuding from this kind of person, not to mention that they were all human spirits for hundreds of years.
"Hehe, by the way, if you let me deal with it, bring me a bottle of the drink you gave me last time. As long as you can come up with it, this thing is guaranteed to help you get it right. There was a bit of smugness in the bitter man's tone, as if it was something to boast about.
Rose, Ha Ming, and Thor noticed that Grant and Master Ku looked at each other for a second, and there were subtle mental fluctuations in the air, knowing that they were talking about something, and immediately resonated in the same way.
Multiply~~
As soon as his spirit was shocked, the private conversation between Grant and Master Ku was immediately disrupted, adding up to the three of them.
"What did you three just say, it sounds like it's very powerful."
"Say what? Tell us about it. ”
"What can the old man say, all he wants Owen to hand over to him to deal with. Don't bury me. If he wants to ask where we came from, I think I'll leave these lies to Grant. After all, he knows the most layout here. ”
"Oh. So that's what happened, so I'll call him. ”
"I don't have a problem either."
Rose. Ha Ming, the Thor and a few people knew that this was the case, and their hearts were slightly surprised.
If Owen wanted to say anything weird, it was definitely four big men sitting together looking at each other with happy smiles on their faces. Come to think of it, those guys in particular seem to be able to make eye contact......
He sat on the side without speaking, silently picked up a cup of hot water and took a sip gently.
It wasn't until three or four seconds later that Grant took the lead in turning. smiled and said, "Hehe, these are my friends." ”
"I asked just now, but I haven't seen you come here before, could it be that you're from outside?" Owen saw Grant suddenly talk to him, and thought to himself that they might give Grant the right to talk, which would prove that the four of them had a higher status, and things like this were obviously lower status to talk to.
I thought that the knight said that the previous things were all done by Grant, which just confirmed this idea.
But no matter how low the status is. Also taller than yourself.
Owen knew that they had already negotiated, so he could also formally talk and set out useful information for him.
"Well, we're all from outside. An alchemist from the province of Nitel who is ready to swim. Because there is a family that has not made enough progress, they simply come out of the family. They were some of the friends I made on the way, some from other provinces. There are also some who are constantly traveling specifically to become stronger. ”
"I really admire that you are willing to give up so much for the pursuit of alchemy. On my own? It's a shame to think about. I'm ashamed. Owen's eyes showed admiration, and his face was simply full of I envy you. It's a pity that I have a big family to raise, so I can't be like you.
This kind of hypocritical expression can be debunked almost instantly in the face of the mages present. They also knew that it was just a compliment from Owen, so they didn't specifically care or dislike it.
"Well, we don't have as much of a burden as Mr. Owen. We feel you're still responsible. Grant laughed.
"Where, where, just an incompetent alchemist."
"Who said that?"
……
They chatted with each other, most of them by Grant and Owen, and a few others stayed on the sidelines, simply listening to them, or praising each other.
In this conversation, Owen's antipathy towards Grant gradually dissipated, and he gradually forgot the unpleasant things that happened before.
He felt that it might have been because he was too proud before, after all, he had been persuaded in advance, and an alchemist like Grant from a big family must have his own arrogance, otherwise why would he have a big background and a small background.
Feeling that the timing of the conversation was about the same, Owen went around in a circle to find out how the relationship between Heideyn and Grant and the relationship between the three next to him was. No matter how nice it sounds, it's the most important thing.
"By the way, you said all the way, so how did you know Heidein? He's from our Smokescreen, so he's very knowledgeable about his whereabouts. Owen said with a smile, and a cold light quietly flashed in his eyes. Bieber's death is still in doubt for the time being.
"He's been hunted down by a mixed team of alchemists and knights who seem to be thieves. When we saw him fleeing towards us, we killed the thieves. ”
"A group of thieves with alchemists? This is probably no ordinary group of thieves. Owen lowered his voice, and the expression on his face seemed very casual, but it was full of a faint sense of tension.
"I know that, but so what? That kind of alchemist is just getting started, and he really thinks what level. An alchemist of this level, I don't think the person assigned to him is very powerful. Grant pouted and said proudly. There was a strong confidence in his own strength in his eyes.
"Oh, hehe, Mr. Grant's strength has been fully appreciated just now, I don't think anyone will question Mr. Grant's strength."
"That's natural." Grant smiled back confidently.
Owen finished laughing, picked up the white porcelain cup and took a sip lightly, but his eyes quietly pondered, and he asked himself in his heart: "Don't they really know that Bieber sent it out by himself?" As long as Heidein could see Bieber's appearance, he should know who sent it. Or at that time, Grant took action and smashed them to pieces. With Grant's strength, it is not a very difficult thing to beat the enemy into a blood mist. ”
"Forget it, no matter what, as long as they have a good relationship, even if Hedeyn knows that I sent someone to hunt him down, as long as he still likes Ivy, it's fine. After all, Ivy is my daughter, and no matter how much she hates me, she will not allow the person she loves to kill her father. At present, this doubt can be dispelled. ”
Owen analyzed and weighed the pros and cons, and quickly came to a situation that was favorable to him, and his tone was a little hurried at the moment, wanting to clarify the relationship between Grant and Hydein as soon as possible.
"I know Hedin like any other friend, and I'm very close to him. I guess I'll stay here or around for the next few years and take care of him from time to time. Grant also said that it was very clear, that is, he was good with Heidein.
"Hedeyn is really blessed to have a friend like you." Owen said with a smile on his face, and the smile caused Grant to sneer in his heart.
He knew very well that Owen was playing this abacus, and he already knew it very well.
…………
At the corner of the doorway is a long and narrow hallway, with a layer of pale gold patterned wallpaper on both sides, and a twisted dark gold lamp protruding from the middle.
The faint light lit the hallway a little dimly.
Heydein was at the front, ready to get a little snack and some simple food, along with a couple of nice drinks.
That's when Ivy catches up.
Under the dim light, a hazy glow covered her face, which looked very seductive.
"Heydein, I have something to ask you." Ivy bit her lip lightly and took a few steps forward to ask.
"What's the matter?" Heidein was about to go up and get some snacks, but when she heard Ivy's words, she couldn't help but slow down.
"What is your relationship with the alchemist named Grant, and whether you are using him to increase your father's weight this time?"
"Well, that's similar to what you said. But that's what Grant told me, and I think he's pretty good personally. ”
"That kind of person is too high-status, often full of extreme purpose, do you think it is really reliable? With my father's personality, if that friend of yours left or stopped paying attention to you, he would definitely force you to leave me. Ivy's eyes darkened, revealing a look of deep disappointment. She knew very well what her father was, and this kind of thing was likely to be done.
Heideyin took a step forward, clasped Heidein's soft and boneless little hand, and said firmly, "Look into my eyes." ”
Ivy looked up and looked straight into the eyes that were as bright as gems, there was an indescribable determination and struggle in them, and the firmness that would not change even when the sky fell made Ivy's heart feel as if she had been hit by an arrow. She found that she had never made a wrong choice when she chose Heidein, and for a while, she also had a decision in her heart, and her face became flushed.
She bowed her head shyly, and said in a voice like a gnat, "Hedein, you come with me to the kitchen." ”
"Well, let's go quickly." Hedin didn't notice anything unusual about Ivy saying this, and took her hand and walked down the hallway until the kitchen door.
Chirping!
Gently push open the kitchen door.
Inside is a table with all kinds of cutlery and food, as well as dozens of simple kitchenware, cooking utensils, closets, and more.
The room was large, not pressed by a third of the hall.
As soon as she walked in, Heidein was going to walk over and pick up the snacks that had already been prepared. Because Grant had said in advance that they would most likely be here, it was well prepared.
Heidein strode forward, but he didn't expect that two soft and plump soft flesh suddenly approached behind him, and there were two hard dots faintly.
"Heydein, you want me." A sweet and seductive voice came from behind. (To be continued......)
