Chapter 12: Heartbeat
Night, Imperial Hotel.
The Imperial Hotel has two floors, and today, the entire second floor is taken over by Rashid. Rashid didn't say how much it spent, but it was certainly not a small amount.
More than fifty tables were filled, and Rashid invited more than a dozen people from the family and dozens of well-connected lone ranger friends to celebrate. The Lionheart family was originally one of the largest families in the empire, and these people were thinking about how to have a good relationship with the Lionheart family, but they didn't have a chance, and now they rarely met Rashid's invitation, and all the people who were invited came. There are even many people with good status who come uninvited with gifts!
Yanjing has no secrets, Alan killed Kate, defeated Ikael, and even defeated Macaulay, and it only took one afternoon to spread throughout Pompeii! Allen was regarded as a mediocre and laughing stock by people in the early years, saying that he put his top roots and bones instead of practicing martial arts, but practiced magic...... Now he only needs one battle to sweep away all these mockery!
It's not a big deal for him to kill Kate, it's the big deal when he defeats Ikkel! Ikal is a well-known genius for magic, known for his speed and power in casting spells. Every time he fights someone, Ikael lets the opponent strike first, and he is always the last to come first, and he is easily defeated. Because of his brilliant record, he was exceptionally promoted to become the deacon of the Doji Star Alliance! Alan fought against a speed-type lightning mage like Ikael, and he was able to overwhelm the surname and win, and even defeated the mage Macaulay in the early stage of the seventh order, if it wasn't for Pachelaire's action in the end, the two would definitely be killed by Allen!
What kind of combat power is this!
Just looking at this battle, I know that Allen will have a great future in the future, and at the worst, he can become an eighth-order sky ** master when he is old! Plus he has a Lionheart family behind him, and he has the family backing to support his cultivation, so he doesn't have to worry about all kinds of materials, even if he becomes a ninth-order human king-level mage in the future, it is very possible!
As for the rumor that Allen had bad qualifications in the early years, this was actively ignored by everyone. The qualifications in the early years don't say anything, there are not a few people in this world who have encountered adventures and changed their qualifications, and even if the qualifications are poor, as long as they work hard enough, they can become very powerful.
In a word, Alan has a great future!
As a mage, Alan is usually forbidden to drink, but he won the ring today, and it is okay to drink some alcohol without exception. An attendant followed Alan with a small bottle of cider, and when someone came to toast, he poured a little for Alan.
Rashid, known as the Young Lion, is one of the most famous berserkers among the Yanjing teenagers, and the Lionheart family is a berserker family, so most of the people invited to this banquet are warrior professionals. Alan only drank a little bit of wine every time, which made these arrogant old men gradually become a little impatient, and one by one they encouraged Alan to change the big glass.
However, Alan smiled faintly and ignored the shouts of these people.
"Hey, Alan!" Sofina's voice suddenly came from behind her, and Alan turned around to see her coming to him with two cups.
Sofina is wearing a plain blue dress today, her hair is tied up in a bunch, tied up with a flower on her head, and she has a sweet smile on her face, looking like a peony in bloom, beautiful and noble.
"What's wrong, Ninth Princess?"
"I haven't toasted you yet, Master Mage!" Sofina laughed and her eyes narrowed. Alan wanted the attendant to pour himself a drink, but Sofina first handed Alan one of the two wine glasses in her hand, and then looked at Alan defiantly, "You don't even have this amount of wine, do you?"
Sofina brought two glasses of red wine, one of which was more than four taels. How everyone toasted just now, Alan dealt with it with cider, and now Sofina herself went into battle, with a provocative gesture, and all the good deeds shouted.
"Alan!"
"Don't lose to women!"
"Like a man!"
All sorts of cries rang out. Most of the feast were rough adventurers, who had a good relationship with Rashid, and who had drunk some wine today, and who spoke boldly. And Sofina usually doesn't put on a show, so she doesn't have to worry about making fun of her that will cause unhappiness......
Someone even whistled!
Alan quietly looked at the red wine for a while, and suddenly smiled. He simply took the glass, then saluted Sofina, and directly tilted his head and took a sip.
The audience was silent, this red wine is a precious product above 30 degrees, Allen, a mage, actually dried it in one gulp......
Alan's face turned slightly red, and he hung his wine glass upside down, and there was not a drop of wine in it.
"It's your turn, Princess Sofina. Alan said.
The people who had just instigated Alan to drink began to turn the conversation to Sofina!
Sofina said heartily, "Okay! It's my turn!" She held the glass in both hands and craned her neck to drink. The woman's mouth is relatively small, and she can't take a glass like Alan, but divide it into many sips and drink the red wine with a grunt......
After drinking, Sofina's fair cheeks had an extra touch of crimson. She looked at Alan defiantly, and poured the cup too, and there was not a drop left in it.
"Good!" "One more time, Princess Sofina, get Alan down!"
"How about it, do you dare to come!" Sofina was drunk, but she still looked at Alan defiantly.
Alan smiled bitterly: "I can't drink anymore, I admit defeat." ”
"Haha! Drink and win again!Chuck, write it down, on the night of the seventh day of the harvest month, Sofina drank and won Allen at the Imperial Hotel!" Sofina snapped her fingers back, shouting with an excited look.
The servant named Paul nodded, and actually took out a notebook to write things down.
Alan looked sideways and was speechless at Sofina. He knew a few people in this book, either mages or women, could it be that Sofina often did this kind of thing......
For some reason, Alan suddenly remembered Daisy. Yetysy, like Sofina, likes to do this kind of ridiculous thing.
'I don't know where that girl is now?' Alan faintly missed Daisy in his heart. This feeling of missing someone he never had when he was a demon......
Suddenly, a strange feeling crossed his heart, and Alan glanced out the window to see a figure standing in a tree outside. The man, sensing that he had been discovered, immediately turned into a dark shadow and burrowed into the trees.
"Excuse me. Alan apologized and ran away from the scene.
Sofina's eyes, who were still slightly drunk, suddenly became clear, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: "Go away at this time, is it because you have made an appointment with someone? Is it ......interesting?"
Alan chased out of the hotel, and his mental power swept around, finally making him realize the breath of a person on the roof more than 100 meters away. The man ran away immediately after being swept away by his mental power, but her will was not very strong, and she did not run too fast. Alan stopped her in a small alley after more than half a minute.
was blocked by Allen, the girl wanted to turn around and run again, Alan suddenly said, "Ye Daisy, what are you running?"
Ye Daisy stopped her steps when she heard this, and looked at Alan with a complicated expression.
"Congratulations, Alan. Ye Daisy smiled and said.
"Why don't you go to me, isn't it fun to climb trees?" Alan approached Ye Daisy step by step, the latter's body moved, the whole person shrank into the shadow of the wall under the moonlight, pinching the corner of his clothes and looking at Alan with a smile.
"There were too many people there, and there were a lot of masters, I didn't dare to go up. ”
"You can send someone to call me down...... Sneak a look, you like voyeurism so much?"
"You like to peep! Are you talking to your teacher like this? No big or small!"
Alan approached her and leaned against the wall side by her, "I was talking about you just now, and then you came." By the way, I haven't asked you how you've been doing...... Last time you left in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask anything, so I was worried. ”
"What else? Even if the three dark races unite and add the Dark Council, they are no match for the Church of Light, so I can only hide. Yanjing is really hard to hide, there are popes here, there are four cardinals, there are several top paladins, as well as ascetics and inquisitors, most of the power of the Church of Light is concentrated here, I feel scared every day I stay here, but luckily I have some friends here......"
"What did you do in Pompeii? I thought you were gone. ”
Ye Daisy came to thank Allen, and she wanted to go shopping with Allen after that day, but then there was news that Allen had made an appointment with the Cross Star Alliance. She didn't want to disturb Alan's retreat, so she never showed up. Today Alan is victorious, she wants to congratulate Alan and leave, but Allen's brother held a celebration banquet and invited many masters, so that she did not dare to approach. She was actually hiding very secretively, but Allen's perception was far beyond ordinary people, so she could be discovered.
Ye Daisy wouldn't tell Alan that she stayed in Pompeii City to see him specially, so she smiled and said, "Good apprentice, I'm just passing by, and I'll take a look at you by the way." Now that I see it, it's nothing...... Go back. ”
"Won't you go up with me?"
"There are too many people...... I am a Bloodline. Daisy Ye whispered, with a sad feeling on her face. She forced a smile to herself, and said, "You're going to stay in Pompeii for a long time, aren't you? If you want to be a teacher, remember to practice more healing techniques. ”
Alan looked at her quietly with his head sideways, and said after a while, "The blood clan is actually nothing. ”
"Huh?" Daisy froze for a moment, not understanding why Eren said that.
"I said the Bloodlines are nothing. Background is not something you can choose. Besides, there are wicked people in the human race who kill people for fun, and there are also kind girls like you in the blood clan...... You are the kindest girl I have ever met, and you have a pure heart that no one can match. Alan said very seriously. He remembered that when he was still a monk of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, although his methods were cruel, he would not kill people for no reason, but those Emei disciples who claimed to be in the righteous path united to slaughter the monks of the side door. Even the hermits who stayed at home, those disciples of the Emei faction coveted their magic weapons, and they would kill them under the banner of righteousness.
Ye Daisy's nose soured when she heard this. She is an alternative among the Bloodline, she likes small animals, children, flowers and plants, and at the same time dislikes blood eating and killing. There were some neutral people in the Bloodline, but not those like her who were clearly in the good camp. She turned her face sideways and looked up at Alan, whose expression was serious, not like she was coaxing.
Ye Daisy suddenly felt that Eren was the only one in the world who understood herself......
"You've got honey on your mouth. Ye Daisy said suddenly. She was changing the subject, trying to exonerate herself from being moved.
"I didn't. ”
"You have. Daisy Ye said.
Alan Ping said that when she saw Ye Daisy, Ye Daisy was all smiling and silly, only today, Ye Daisy was sad, shy, and very feminine.
Looking at Ye Daisy's shy appearance, Alan suddenly felt that a certain string in his heart was stirred. He suddenly turned around, pressed Daisy against the wall with one hand on Daisy's shoulder, picked up Daisy's chin with the other, and kissed the red lips before Daisy could react.
