Chapter 12: Anger
In the Booth family's garden, Alice is sitting with Karan and the others to celebrate.
"Alice. "I've already talked to my dad about the June 18th, and our wedding date is January 1st next year, which is next year's 'Magnolia Festival'. ”
Alice also had a smile on her face.
"Next year, won't next year be the 10,000th Magnolia Calendar? Holding our wedding on the 'Magnolia Festival' of the 10,000th year of the Magnolia Calendar is really ...... It's, it's wonderful. Alice laughed a little happily as she spoke.
Looking at Alice's happy smile, Karan felt a pang of satisfaction.
"Alice, you should discuss with your father as soon as possible, and give me the guest list on your side, so that I can arrange it as soon as possible. Karan urged.
"Yes. Alice nodded softly.
Karan touched Alice's hair, satisfied.
But when he thought of the predicament that the family was in now, Karan felt a little anxious. Shortly after he and Alice were together, the Debs family had been hit like never before - the Dawson Chamber of Commerce had abandoned it!
The Debs family can have today's glory, which is inseparable from the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
However, in December last year, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce directly announced the withdrawal of cooperation with the Debs family, and handed over various businesses in the Finlay Kingdom to another family in the Finlay Kingdom, allowing the other family to take the place of the Debs family.
And......
Not only that, but the Dawson Chamber of Commerce even suppressed the Debs family, causing the Debs family's various businesses to lose money one after another.
"This Dawson Chamber of Commerce, why is it so oppressive to my family? Our Debs family has not provoked the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. Ka Lan is also very troubled, as the future heir of the family, Ka Lan is naturally very concerned about this.
It was also because this happened that he had just told the family about Alice and himself, so that many people in the family now think that 'Alice' is a disaster.
Otherwise, why would the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, which has cooperated for so many years, abandon them?
But thankfully, for so many years. The Debs family has accumulated a huge fortune, and although the losses are huge now, the Debs family at least has it at all. However, the Debs family also understands that the suppression of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce for unclear reasons has made their Debs family have no hope in 'business'.
No one wants to offend the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, a supergiant, for them.
Therefore, their Debs family can only find another way.
Shaking his head, leaving these troubles behind, Karan smiled and looked at Alice: "Alice, I heard that yesterday there was a very remarkable stone carving in the new exhibition of the Pruxes Clan, which is said to be comparable to those grandmasters' works. There are a lot of people watching, should we go and see it?"
Alice was also bored: "Okay. ”
Karan and Alice rode in the carriage. Go to the Purux Hall.
"This stone carving is said to be very remarkable, and I have been busy preparing all kinds of things about our engagement and big wedding for the past two days. I didn't have time to take you over to see it. Karan jumped out of the carriage first, and then, very gentlemanly, took Alice by the hand and led her down.
Alice and Karan walked into the Purux Hall side by side.
"Brother Kalan, you see, there are a lot of people. Alice's eyes lit up and she pointed ahead.
In the deepest part of the Purux Hall, the 'Master Hall' was crowded with people. However, the 'Master Room' is very orderly, entering from one door and exiting from another. Everyone is only allowed to stay for about three minutes.
Every three minutes, the viewer in the master's room has to leave. Want to go in and see it again......
Okay, queue up again!
"It's a long line. Karan was also surprised in his heart, he had never seen the Prux Hall so crowded in so many years.
Karan and Alice also lined up according to the rules, and the two of them stood in line for about twenty minutes. It was their turn to enter the master hall. This group of people entered the master hall. Immediately walked to the front one by one.
Curious, Alice and Karan naturally rushed forward.
But when Alice first saw the stone carving. The whole person seemed to be frozen, and looked at the giant stone sculpture in front of him in a daze. The beautiful stone sculptures of five women, each of which contains a special taste.
Others are immersed in the meaning of the 'waking up' stone carving.
But when Alice saw this stone carving, she couldn't help but recall the scenes from her past with Lin Lei in her mind.
For the first time, in despair, Lin Lei descended like a god.
There was a scene on that balcony, where the two hid under the balcony and chatted all night.
......
Scene after scene emerges, leaving Alice completely dumbfounded. She really didn't expect to attract so many people, and the 'stone carving' that reached the level of the grandmaster turned out to be based on herself.
"Lin, Lin Lei......" Alice's mood was suddenly extremely complicated.
She looked at the introduction posted next to her.
"The author of this stone carving, 'Lin Lei', is seventeen years old this year, graduated from the Ernst School of Magic, and now Lin Lei, who is only seventeen years old, is already a seventh-level dual-line magician, he is now the absolute number one magic genius in the entire Magnolia Continent, even in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Magnolia Continent, Lin Lei is also the second magic genius in history. ”
"However, Lin Lei has not only achieved such achievements in the field of magic, but also in the field of stone carving, and at the age of seventeen, this 'waking up' stone carving ......."
......
The words completely stunned Alice.
"It's Lin Lei, it's Lin Lei. Alice looked at the introduction with some confusion, "Seventh-level dual-system magician?
Mage's. ”
Alice didn't know that before breaking up with her, Lin Lei was already a sixth-level dual-system magician. It's just that Lin Lei hasn't had a chance to tell her.
"Wake up from a dream, this stone sculpture is called 'wake up from a dream'. Alice looked at the five humanoid sculptures carved in stone, especially the last one that contained despair, and she suddenly understood the true meaning of Lin Lei's name of this stone sculpture 'Dream Awakening'.
"Dream, awake?" Alice felt her mind mess up.
For the first man she really liked, Alice always had a place in Lin Lei's heart. But when she found out that Lin Lei had named this stone carving 'Dream Awakening', she suddenly felt as if she had lost something in her heart.
―
It's a very uncomfortable feeling.
Alice suddenly noticed that Ka Lan next to him, Ka Lan's face was extremely ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, his green muscles were violent, and his face was gloomy and terrifying. There was an unknown light in his eyes, and he stared at the stone carving.
"Big Brother Karan. Alice shouted worriedly.
Karan ignored Alice at all.
"Lin Lei, you, you're too much. Karan's heart was filled with endless anger. In the past, although Ka Lan had a very good attitude towards Lin Lei, Ka Lan also looked down on Lin Lei in his heart. In Karan's opinion. Even if Lin Lei works hard alone, it is difficult to compare with his family.
After all, his family relied on the giant ship of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
But how long has it been? It's only been five months.
The Debs family was abandoned by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. As for Lin Lei, he was born out of nowhere, and he actually stepped into the seventh-level dual-system magician realm at the age of seventeen. He is also known as the number one magic genius in the entire Magnolia Continent today.
Even in the history of the recorded land of the Magnolia Continent, there is only one person who is slightly stronger than Lin Lei.
"At the age of seventeen, he is a seventh-level dual-line magician, and he is also a figure comparable to a stone carving master. Karan felt a pang of weakness.
The other party is too good.
But then again. Karan is endlessly furious.
Because the blueprint for this stone sculpture is his fiancée!
"Hey, you see, the woman who woke up from the dream is very similar to this one?" A voice suddenly sounded in the 'master hall', and more than a dozen eyes looked at Alice at once, and suddenly there was a burst of discussion.
Lin Leidi's stone carving ability is too strong, and he has fully brought out that kind of charm.
Those who watched at the first glance of Alice. I just feel it...... The girl in front of you. It's too similar to the woman in the stone carving of 'Wake Up from a Dream'. It can be regarded as a person, that unique look. The slightly pointed nose.
"Miss, dare to ask what you have to do with Master Lin Lei?" asked an old man with gray hair who was now more than a hundred years old and politely asked Alice.
In the stone carving technique, the master is the teacher.
The skills of Lin Lei have made these collectors who have studied stone carving for decades and more than 100 years admire the five bodies of the ground. Calling it a 'master' is also from the heart. With the eyes of this old man who has studied stone carving for more than 100 years, he naturally guessed that the woman in the stone carving may have an entangled relationship with Master Lin Lei.
Alice was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Karan next to her.
"Oh, Karan, you're there too. The old man looked at Karan, who was old and fine, and he could naturally see that Karan had a lot to do with this Alice, "Karan, who is this young lady?"
Although Karan was very dissatisfied in his heart, he still bowed humbly and said, "Lord Bernard, this is Miss Alice, my fiancée. ”
"Fiancée?" said Duke Bernard glanced thoughtfully at Karan and Alice, smiled and said nothing.
Caran pulled Alice and fled back to the Debs family mansion as quickly as she could for her life.
Leonard, the patriarch of the Debs family and the father of Carlan, was looking at his son in disbelief: "What do you say? The blueprint for that work on display at the Prorux Hall is Alice?"
Bernard still dotes on his son.
When his son said that he wanted to marry Alice, Bernard did not deny it. But only a few days after his son's relationship with Alice was confirmed, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce abandoned the Debs family for no reason. For this, Bernard has been asking to meet with the upper echelons of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
Bernard has been busy with this for months. Even yesterday the work of the Prux Hall was exhibited, and today he is too lazy to pass.
"Alice, is it Alice?" Bernard's face suddenly turned ugly.
Karan nodded, "Yes, father." Now Alice and I are not engaged, but once we are engaged, Alice will be known by a large number of nobles in the Holy Capital, and that stone carving of Lin Lei, 'Awakening from a Dream', will definitely be the biggest joke of our family. ”
Bernard pondered for a moment, frowned at Karan and asked, "Is it serious?"
"Father, there was a ...... between Lin Lei and Alice," Karan said vaguely, "and that stone carving is about him and Alice." ”
Bernard stopped talking, but frowned deeply.
After a moment, Bernard looked at Karan, "Karan, would you be willing if I asked you to give up Alice?" Karan shook his head resolutely, after all, he was only eighteen years old this year.
Bernard nodded slightly: "Alice, don't worry, I'll solve this matter, you don't care." ”
Karan nodded, and suddenly Karan gritted his teeth, looked at his father and said, "Father, I'm with Alice, that Lin Lei must be dissatisfied with me, and now Lin Lei's potential is too great, I want to ...... Can we find a way to kill Lin Lei?"
