Chapter 8: The Old Man

Bang bang heavy and sturdy wooden plank, there was a violent knock on the door, and in the wooden house, Ivan, who retained a trace of vigilance even if he fell asleep, was instantly awakened.

When he opened his tired eyes, that damn old ghost was so strict that he had been living in dire straits for the past three months, and he was still counting the seconds when he went to sleep, which caused him to be seriously deficient in his spirit now, and he knew what not to choose a second career.

The knock on the door continued, and Ivan shouted impatiently, "Here it is." Lifting the shabby quilt covering his body, he got to the ground barefoot, and the biting coldness on the ground made him scream, put on his boots, walked to the door, and opened the door.

A cold wind blew in, and Ivan saw that old Tom was holding a cigarette pouch in one hand, and still maintaining the gesture of knocking on the door in the other, and when he saw the door suddenly opened, he couldn't react.

Ivan glanced strangely at Old Tom, who lived in this wooden house in the garbage area, which was very secretive, and no one knew about it except Old Tom. But old Tom came to him only a handful of times, and when he asked him why, old Tom would put on a peacock-like pride and say, "I am also the son of a baron, and I belong to the aristocracy, so I can often go to such a place as the garbage area, which is not gorgeous." ”

At that time, Ivan laughed directly, God knows if his old Tom's baron dad is real or fake, not to mention that old Tom's dilapidated recycling station will be more gorgeous than the garbage area.

Before Ivan teased the old Tom, a nobleman, how could he come to his humble and not gorgeous wooden house again, a sudden bear hug caught him a little off guard, until he saw the familiar blonde hair, vigilant heart, instantly relaxed, with a helpless smile on his eyelids, like coaxing a child, patted the other party's golden retriever head.

"Hans, why are you here? ”

The blonde young man let go of Ivan, and the whole thing was made up by Ivan, and then he smiled and said: "Ivan, you bastard, said that after you go home, you will definitely come to see me when you have time, who knows that for three months, I haven't even seen a shadow, no way, if you don't come to me, then I will only come to you." ”

Ivan smiled helplessly, this time he came back to prepare to become a card master, and now becoming a card master is complete, but because of the initial weakness of the card master, and the biggest life weakness, he must choose a second career.

Originally, he wanted to go back to the west of the city to see Hans after becoming a card master, but as soon as Ivan thought of this, his teeth itched, and he longed to bite a few bites of flesh from that damn old ghost to vent his anger.

That damn old ghost, a second ago, smiled and helped him choose a second career, carefully helped him think about the exam, explained it well, to be honest, he was still a little moved in his heart at that time.

But in the next second, he directly became a devil, forcing him to train, squeezing his energy to death, and even the most ordinary sleeping time was directly deprived by the devil, for three full months, sleepless, and awake training.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't hold it yesterday, he couldn't get up in bed, and the first training had just ended, that old ghost would never let him sleep.

Three months of torture that life is worse than death, Ivan can still afford to see Hans, every day in his mind except for a big bed, hoping that Mezz can sleep, that is, the old ghost's hateful face, a thousand knives, plucking out the skin and gouging out the eyes.

"Ivan, long time no see. A gentle voice rang out from behind Hans.

Ivan scolded secretly, Hans, bastard, forget it yourself, how to bring these two people, this is not causing him trouble.

"Miss Verina, long time no see. ”

Dressed in a white gauze dress, a snow-white mink shawl, and gentle as water, Verina looked at the dirty garbage environment around her in a complicated manner, although she had some guesses about how poor Ivan was, but the scene in front of her was still beyond her expectations.

She never thought that Ivan would live in the garbage area of Lenta City, this kind of dirty place with a bad environment, and at this moment her heart for Ivan, pity prevailed, and for Hans to tell Ivan the news, there was much less rejection.

Ivan instantly sensed the most disgusting pity in Verina's eyes, since he was a child, as an orphan, he didn't know how many others or disgusted, or ignored, or sympathized with the eyes of pity, he didn't know, he had anything worthy of sympathy, he didn't need that kind of disgusting gaze like looking at a beggar, sure enough, trouble is trouble.

"Tsk, stupid goose, you actually live in such a dirty place, now I officially warn you, don't go near Miss Ben without Miss Ben's orders in the future, you know, really, I didn't say it in advance before, let Miss Ben stay away from you" Nasha stood next to the carriage, glancing disgusted at everything around her.

Before Ivan could say anything, Hans, who was standing next to Ivan, broke out, blushing his neck, and said in an angry tone: "Nasha, I didn't invite you here, you came with me, since you came, don't say such rude words, Ivan is not only my best friend, but also my only brother of Hans Hawein." ”

Verina smiled sheepishly at Hans, then walked over to Nasha and tugged at her sleeve, winking, and motioning for her to pay attention.

Nasha rolled her eyes secretly, damn Hans Hai Weiyin, if it weren't for my father's orders, who would want to follow you all day long, a fool, my brother and my brother, Miss Ben will be disgusted, call you brother, you still respond as a matter of course, and don't look at what qualifications you have now, whether you are worthy or not.

But there is no way, who knows what my father thinks, and repeatedly told myself and my sister, the daughter of the current city lord of Lenta City, to have a good relationship with the only son of the former lord of Lenta City, and there can be no conflict.

Nasha reluctantly owed a debt to Hans, which could be regarded as an apology and an apology.

Hans wanted to say something more, but Ivan grabbed him, shook his head at him, and led him to the cabin, ignoring the two sisters, Verina and Nasha, except to invite Old Tom in.

Nasha snorted, took her sister Verina's hand, and turned to walk back to the carriage.

In the wooden house, Hans blushed, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Ivan, that Nasha doesn't mean that, she is usually very well-behaved, and I don't know what's going on today." ”

Ivan shook his head, he was not so fragile, he would be hurt in his heart because of a few words like a little girl, and he could ignore it calmly and ignore it a thousand times worse than this, not to mention this pediatric thing.

"Tell me, are you looking for me for something today?"

Hans nodded and said:

"It's about admissions to the Supreme Academy of Magic. ”
