Half a month later.

"It's ...... Banquet?"

Alan takes an invitation from Antonio and discovers that it is an invitation to a banquet.

Antonio nodded and said, "Yes, this is a gathering between us spellcaster seeds from the Barrens, and there may be some seniors from the Barrens who will also go at that time." ”

"A first-level spellcaster?" Aryan asked.

Antonio suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and said curtly: "How is it possible, those adults don't have this time to attend our party, they are some seniors who have already built a zero-level spell model. ”

"yes, I see. Aaron nodded, put the invitation away, and continued to study the runes in front of him...... He had now begun to learn how to set up rune circles.

As for the banquet, he didn't have much interest, but since Antonio personally invited it, it was a dormitory after all, and he couldn't help but give the other party.

However, after this incident, he decided to move out, and the money he obtained from refining the potions during this time was enough for him to buy a small house.

And he needs a laboratory that is completely his own, after all, some potions cannot be refined in the laboratory provided by Aoki no Mori, who knows if there is any monitoring.

A gathering place in the barrens.

It is said that this was taken out by a family who also came from the Barrenlands, and the pillar of the family, the official spellcaster, fell some time ago, leaving only one caster apprentice, who could no longer keep his current position, and in order not to be driven further away from the inner city, he hit the idea on the caster seed who was also from the Barrenlands.

This gathering was also proposed by the family, in order to establish a good relationship with them, or to take advantage of it.

Elegant and relaxing music permeates the hall.

Antonio and Ruth were walking between the small groups with ease, and seemed to get along well with everyone.

Eric and Jessica also held wine glasses and chatted with others very happily.

Only Aaron sat in a corner, eating slowly, for him, the meaning of the banquet was to eat and drink for nothing.

Because there were one or two hundred people in this meeting, I didn't pay attention to him in the corner.

Until......

"Hey, isn't this Colin? Why are you here?" a familiar voice came into his ears as Aren was immersed in his feast.

Aaron raised his head, glanced at the few people in front of him, and then said to the person who took the lead: "It turned out to be Senior Michelle, I heard that you became a spellcaster's apprentice? ”

"It's okay, I was in too much of a hurry to leave. Only then did Michelle remember that there was no Aaron among the people who congratulated him, but he had finally built a spell model at that time, and he was so excited that he didn't pay attention.

However, he is not the kind of person with a small belly and a narrow heart, so he waved his big hand and said: "It's okay, can I care about this with you, senior, by the way, why do you eat here? Don't communicate with other people?"

Aaron touched his head and said, "I don't really like this kind of occasion, and I don't know what to say. ”

"Yes. Michelle nodded and said, "I used to see that you didn't like to talk, but this can't be done, our spellcasters will face many dangers in the future, and one more friend will give you more hope." ”

Aaron frowned slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes: "I'll try my best." ”

"I'm optimistic about you. ”

Seeing that Aaron was so upright, Michelle didn't say anything, just patted Aaron's halving, and after dropping such a sentence, he turned around and left.

"Come on, Colin, I'll introduce you, this is my sister. Eric walked over with Jessica, but this time the difference was that there was a big beauty behind him.

No, it can't be said that he is following him, it should be him leading the way, and Jessica and the big beautiful woman walked hand in hand.

"Sister, Jessica's sister?" Ally looked at the beautiful woman carefully, with brown and black hair, small eyes, and a face that was somewhat similar to Jessica, and his heart suddenly became clear.

"Yes, he's Jessica's sister, Jessie. Eric replied.

"Jessie?" Aaron was a little speechless, his sister's name is Jessie, and his sister's name is Jessica, this name is really talented: "What's the matter?"

It turned out that Jessica's sister was a caster seed who passed the test eight years ago, and at first she had correspondence with the family, but as time passed, she had no way to become a first-order spellcaster, and she couldn't contact the family, so she was ashamed, so she gradually cut off contact with the family, making the family mistakenly think that she was in danger and died.

This time, she came to the party to ask the caster seed from her hometown about the news of the family as she had done in previous years, so as to relieve the thoughts in her heart.

I didn't expect to see my sister.

In fact, she already knew that Jessica had also passed the test and came to Aoki City, but the guilt in her heart made her afraid to recognize her.

It's just that I didn't expect Jessica to recognize her, you know, Jessica was only three or four years old when she left home, and after such a long time, logically speaking, even if she remembers her, it should be vague, just knowing that she has a sister, who would have thought that she would recognize her at a glance.

Of course, she knew what this meant, so she felt more and more guilty.

Eric dogleg introduced: "Sister, this is Colin Fulance, my good brother. ”

"Hello, you can call me Jessie and thank you for taking care of Jessica during this time. Jessie nodded to Arlen, then turned his head and looked at Eric seriously: "Please call me Jessie too, the word 'sister', please don't say it casually." ”

Eric was suddenly anxious, after this time of getting along, he really fell in love with the female companion next to him, "Sister, you can't be like this, Jessica and I really love each other." ”

"Really in love?" ...... Jessie sneered, clearly disdainful of Eric's words.

But Aaron, who has been opening the Eye of Exploration, sees that when he mentions 'true love', his body is filled with extremely sad colors, and it is obvious that this is a woman with a story.

"Sister......" Jessica also persuaded by the side, although Jessie was her sister, but Eric was also the man she identified.

"I knew it would be like this, the women in our family are stupid, and they will die if they think of men, so they are often the most hurt. ”

Jessie shook his head, did not look at his sister, but looked at Eric coldly, and said: "Eric Scott, the Scott family, a potion family born in the barrens, a small family that can be destroyed at will, but these are nothing, after all, after walking out of the barren land, everything before is the past, and it has no effect, and I will not use this against you." ”

"But......" Jessie's voice changed, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Eric: "You are a person from the pharmacy family, and you can't even pass the most basic "Basic Botany", how can you let me trust my sister to you?"

If there were other things, Eric could argue for himself, but this was definitely his dead end, and there was no way to argue with it, and Jessica couldn't say anything.

In the face of this situation, Eric can be said to be knocked out with a blow, and there is no way to do it at all, but he is not desperate, he still has hope.

I saw him turn his head, look in the direction of Aaron, and then ......

He was desperate!
