Looking at the delicate dishes on the table in front of him, Ian felt that Alvin was indeed worthy of his status as a "rich man". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He tilted his head slightly, and noticed that Aurora's eyes were already full of longing as she cowered behind him. The girl was clutching his trench coat at the moment, staring cautiously at the delicious food on the table. Obviously, he had swallowed his saliva from time to time, but he didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward.

As a child who grew up in the sinners, Aurora had never seen such a sumptuous luncheon. Although her stomach was rumbling with hunger, after seeing this feast, she was a little hesitant and even frightened.

I'm just a half-breed living in a sinner area, just a rescued person, is he really entitled to such a delicacy?

She asked herself, then shook her head violently as she came up with the same answer.

"Brother Ian. Aurora, who felt uncomfortable, took one last look at the food on the table, suddenly turned around, and said timidly, "I think I'd better go home by myself." ”

"What's wrong?" said Ian, surprised. He clearly saw a deep longing in the little girl's eyes, but in front of her, she made a decision as if she was running away from something.

"I just thought maybe it would be better to go home and eat. Aurora replied with a dodgy look. She pinched the corners of her skirt, not daring to look at the delicacies on the table, nor daring Ian to look at each other.

However, seeing her like this, Ian suddenly guessed a possibility.

Because for him, the girl's appearance that seems to be out of place with the surrounding environment is too familiar.

In a hierarchical world, some simple-minded people are often accustomed to enjoying the treatment that belongs to them. And when a person who is accustomed to eating coarse tea and light rice is suddenly allowed to enjoy a delicacy that he could not have imagined at no cost, those who limit themselves to the category of inferior people often find it difficult to adapt, panic, and even want to escape.

The girl in front of her may have a noble father, but she is obviously in a state of being "abandoned" by her father, living in the lowest sinner area of the Northern Regions with her relatives who are also criminals, and she is used to living a hard life. Suddenly put in front of her something she had never dreamed of, and it was only natural that this simple girl would think that she was not entitled to such treatment.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but add a little pity to the girl's eyes. In this world, this girl has the same fate as him. They are also contraindicated hybrids. He was also "abandoned" by his own father. The only difference is that she was able to live among the citizens with a camouflage potion, while this girl was not equally lucky, and could only grow up in a shabby and unfair environment.

He smiled faintly, and slowly circled behind Aurora under her suspicious gaze, and then picked her up at the girl's exclamation, took a few steps forward, and pressed her to the chair in front of the table.

"Anyway, lunch is ready, so if you don't finish it, you can't do it. As he spoke, before Aurora could react, he gestured to Alvin with his eyes, pulled out the chair beside her and sat down as well.

"Yes, dear Miss Aurora. Although these dishes are extremely simple, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch your eye. But if you leave without eating, it will be a shame on me in front of my friends. Alvin, who received the signal, also showed a gentle smile, and of course he saw why the girl had such a reaction, so he couldn't help but tease her with words.

"Why, I don't mean to look down on it. Aurora, who didn't notice Alvin's "sinister intentions" at all, hurriedly shook her head and explained: "It's better to say it's too ...... It's so hearty. ”

"Flutter. The girl's reaction made Alvin laugh out loud. And at this moment, Tina, who was beside him, glared at him fiercely as if she couldn't look at it, so that even if he coughed a few times, he pretended to smile seriously.

Ian, who witnessed this scene, suddenly laughed in his heart. Thinking that the class leader really deserves to be the class leader, even if he wears a maid costume, his prestige has not diminished by half a point.

It's hard to say who these two people will be in charge of in the future......

But fortunately, with the persuasion of two "ill-intentioned" teenagers, Aurora finally sat down reluctantly. After eating the first bite of food with unbearable hunger, she was immediately conquered by the delicacies on the table, showing an expression like a small animal after being fed, which provoked the other three to add all kinds of "feed" to her plate.

After lunch, seeing that Aurora's stomach bulged slightly, Alvin arranged for her to take a nap in the guest room, and then went to a secluded veranda with Ian.

He knew that now should be the time to get down to business.

"So, what did you come to me for help this time?" Leaning on the fence of the veranda, Alvin smiled and teased, "It can't really be just to come to me for a meal, right?"

"Of course not. Ian replied with a smile, and then asked meaningfully, "Alvin, can your spies enter Uptown now?"

"Now?" Alvin chuckled, of course he knew why he had added the prefix "now" to his friend.

"Since that wall came down, a lot of things that would have been impossible have not been possible. ”

"That's good. Ian nodded, took out two folded pieces of paper from the inner pocket of his trench coat, and handed them to his friend: "Help me find these two people." ”

Alvin raised an eyebrow and took the note, which he opened to reveal two hand-drawn sketches, with their respective features recorded underneath the portraits.

"What is this?"

"This is already my best finished product this month, and I am confident that it should still match seven or eight points with the real person. Ian explained. In fact, as a painter with average talent, in this month of grounding, in addition to practicing swords, he is on the bar with these two portraits.

"This feminine man was Lawrence, who had been Albert's trial mentor and was said to have died outside the circle. But I know he's not really dead, and he's probably lurking in the Northern Regions at this point. ”

"As for this butler's disguise, he himself is the butler of a nobleman in the Northern Regions. Originally, I met someone who knew his identity today, but because I was disrupted by another news, I can only ask again next time. ”

"Do you want me to help you find these two people?" Alvin asked curiously, "Is there anything special about them?"

"Mainly, I hope your people can help me find the one ahead in some dark corners. As for the latter one, if you can confirm his identity, help me pay a little attention to his movements, and don't startle the snake. Ian solemnly reminded, "As for what is special about them, are the members of the Black Balance Society special?"

"You really like to be involved in troublesome things. Alvin grinned and sighed, then frowned again, and asked strangely: "This kind of thing, why didn't you tell the Grand Duke through His Royal Highness Fei'er, but came to me instead?"

"I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Why?"

"Alvin, don't you think that the upper echelons of the Northern Regions were a little too slow to react in response to the Lilith incident?"

"You mean?" Alvin was slightly stunned, then his eyes widened.

Ian looked at the Fallen Star Tower in the Upper North, and sighed softly.

"I suspect that there are people from the Black Balance Society in the upper echelons of the Northern Regions. ”
