Chapter Eighty-Four: Matthew's Hunting Party
The Alpha Academy twins competing for the title of the next Augustus are not a secret news at First University. Correspondingly, there are also a number of rising stars of Jiuyou Academy, and the undercurrent surging around the title of Lei Zhe.
I have been enrolled for more than a month, although I have not yet fully sorted out the complicated interpersonal relationships between the four colleges. But Matthew naturally knows something about the feud between Seprano and his cousin.
So, Sir Friedman's choice to challenge his opponent at the Freshman Hunt did not come as a surprise to the young vampire.
Since the honor of the Cullen family is at stake, Matthew feels that he has a duty to shirk.
"So, where am I in the hunting team?" the young vampire reached out and touched the cold railing in front of him, a little curious about his teammates, "Who are the other hunters in the hunting team?"
The freshman who could be praised by his cousin for his outstanding performance immediately had a few names in his mind.
Sure enough, Sir Friedman took a wad of information from the elf and stuffed it into his hand, and the first name he saw on the list was an acquaintance.
"Your Excellency Adam Carlyle O'Brien. Sir Friedman said slowly, "You must know, young man of the O'Brien...... I remember you saying hello to him during the winter hunt in Badmington last year. He has a good attainment in talisman science. is an excellent hunter. ”
Matthew nodded, not surprised that Adam was selected for this freshman hunting team.
"If it weren't for the fact that he just enrolled this year, with His Excellency Adam's ability, he would have a place in the hunting team of Alpha Academy...... After this freshman hunt, I plan to recruit the two of you into the 3A hunting team. In this way, next season, the ranking of the triple-A hunting team will definitely move up a few places. Sir Friedman carelessly planned the future of several young people, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Naturally, Matthew would not show any dissatisfaction with Jazz's kindness at this time.
Turning the second page of the information in hand, the names on the list were a little unfamiliar to the young vampire.
"Nankai & Nanjian?" he hesitated, repeating these words, and looked up at his cousin: "Is this a name?"
"It's brother and sister. Sir Friedman explained with a smile: "Nankai and Nanjian brothers and sisters were born in the Nan clan of Runan, China, which is a hidden wizarding family that rarely walks in the wizarding world, so many people don't know much about them. ”
"You just need to remember that the Sinan technique of the Runan Nan clan is the oldest divination inheritance in the wizarding world. ”
"Are they twins?" said Matthew, curious, flipping through the information in his hand.
"No, just distant relatives...... Although they are distant relatives outside the five suits, because of their blood origins, the Nan brothers and sisters have a tacit understanding in magic casting, and they are perfect for the left and right of the hunting team. ”
"Are both of them soothsayers? Something is not quite suitable for the hunting team......" Matthew's tone was a little hesitant.
"Nanjian is a soothsayer. She was born deaf, but because of this, she gained spiritual wisdom, and practiced Sinan's technique to an extremely advanced level at a very young age...... After discovering that the family was no longer able to provide more resources for their 'Qilinzi', the Runan Nan clan decisively contacted First University, hoping that Nanjian could go further here. ”
"Oh, by the way, Nanjian also has good attainments in potions, and for a hunting team, a good soothsayer plus a good healer can meet most of the requirements. ”
"As for Nankai, in a sense, he is the escort selected by the Nan family for Nanjian. Compared to the art of divination, he is better at Nan's boxing...... As a hunting team left auxiliary is enough. ”
"A smart family. Matthew commented.
"In this world, if you want to live for a long time, it is not enough to rely on a little cleverness. Sir Friedman watched the elf fill his glass, smiled slightly, and added, "Sometimes, it takes a little luck...... You, on the other hand, are their luck. ”
Matthew immediately understood what his cousin meant.
As the behemoth of the Council under the Moon, the Cullen family cannot be said to have unified the bloodline, but it also occupies half of the vampire world. In comparison, the strength of the Runan Nan clan is very weak.
Just like the starry sky above people's heads, the more massive the celestial body, the greater the attraction to the surrounding weak celestial bodies, and the brighter the stars gathered around it.
In the wizarding world, the larger the family organization, the more weak forces it is attached to.
And Matthew Cullen, as a descendant of the Cullen family, will naturally gain the favor of many weak families.
"The rest of the candidates are a little bit 'chicken,'" Sir Friedman said, taking the pile of information from his cousin, shook his head, and looked a little dissatisfied: "It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away...... You can use them as alternate seats for hunting teams. ”
"But my hunting team is two people less. Matthew was a little worried about who to go to.
"Just one person missing. Friedman shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at the bright red liquid leaving traces of different shades on the wall of the glass, and said lightly: "You are the main hunter of the hunting team." As for the rangers...... Don't you have a few interesting seeds in the Astronomy 08-1 class? I remember that Dean Yao stuffed all the top students of this year's nine into that class. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Matthew.
Although his gaze was still gentle, it caused the young vampire on the other side to involuntarily give a cold war.
"No problem. Matthew immediately said: "Tangton of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, Jiang Yu of the Jiang clan in Zhongshan, and Duan of Dali also have a son-in-law in our class...... I can pick rangers from among them. ”
Sir Friedman withdrew his gaze and nodded in satisfaction.
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, but a figure with large burgundy waves involuntarily appeared in his mind.
The moon slowly rises in the middle of the sky.
Yuehua Dasheng.
The cold wind hit, blocked by the invisible barrier outside the terrace, and he could only turn his head in frustration and vent his frustration on the vines clinging to the wall of the ancient castle next to him.
The leaves of the vines rustled in the cold wind, and from time to time there were the piercing screams of a few grass sperms that had risen at night.
Sir Friedman's conversation intensified:
"Although our Cullen family is called 'rebellious' by those old antiques, we have a cult of order in our blood...... This is very important. ”
"Everyone in the Karen family respects their elders...... The other vampire families seem to have forgotten about it, and that's not good. ”
Matthew was submissive and did not express an opinion.
Friedman snapped his fingers, and the gray-haired servant stepped out of the darkness with a box in both hands.
"It's a gift for you. ”
"Thank you!" Matthew took the box with some surprise and opened it.
Inside is a set of white linen with tassels.
There are also matching short-top leather boots and dragon leather gloves.
"I'll give it a try when I get back. Friedman patted his cousin on the shoulder with some doting.
"In a few days I want you to come with me to a meeting...... Well, after the opening ceremony of the school hunting meeting, I will inform you of the specific situation. ”
Matthew raised his head and showed a puzzled look: "Take me?"
Friedman squinted at the bright moon in mid-air, "I need a helper I can trust." ”
"I don't have much experience. Matthew put down the gift box with some surprise and whispered, "And Mr. Arthur Ness has always been very loyal......"
"It's loyal, but it's a fool. Friedman's tone was full of disdain: "I was disgraced by a few newcomers, and if I continue to let him speak on my behalf, I'm afraid the rest of the school will laugh off my big teeth." ”
"What about Mr. Sima Yi? I remember you had a high opinion of him. ”
"He is indeed an excellent staff officer. Friedman casually raised his palm, facing the moon, as if trying to catch the refreshing moonlight: "It's just that Sima is not Karen after all...... And your name is Matthew Cullen. ”
Matthew didn't continue to speak, just uneasily ** the gift box.
"Be confident. The corners of Friedman's mouth curled slightly: "The people of the Cullen family must learn to be confident." ”
