Chapter 10: The Crazy Suitors
As soon as school ended in the afternoon, Arthur blocked the doors of the other classes and called out all the inheritors in the fourth graders.
"Class 2, Roy, Harvey...... Class 3 ......"
He cocked his chin and counted the list of people for the gathering, as dedicated as the head teacher who supervised the student procession.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is quite a troublesome chore, but the way he holds his head up is undoubtedly enjoying it.
There are a total of forty-five inheritors in the fourth year of Kassel Elementary Academy, and there are only two in class 2, Roy and Harvey, which is the bottom in terms of the number of inheritors.
However, although it was all classmates from other classes, this party was held every Monday, and everyone was already familiar with each other, so the atmosphere was not awkward.
After the number of people was counted, everyone got into the carriage and drove towards the Qin family's mansion.
The Qin family, as the most powerful family in the "Sword Cultivation" lineage, has a place in the temple council of the Sidenia Temple.
The Council of the Temple is the core of Sidney's absolute power, responsible for deciding important matters in Sidney, and all members of the Council are the inheritors.
There are a total of eighteen seats in the council, corresponding to the eighteen lineages of the inheritors, and each family that has a seat in the council represents the pinnacle of the lineage.
These eighteen families with seats in the Council are collectively known as the Eighteen Families of the Temple.
From ancient times to the present, the Qin family has always been the representative of the "Sword Cultivation" seat, and it is also one of the oldest families in the temple family.
The mansion of such a large ancient family is a magnificent palace in itself, surrounded by gardens and practice grounds, and in the middle is the living place of servants and side children.
After passing through the layers of white walls and greenery, you can come to the center of the mansion and you can see a towering attic with antique eaves up close.
The attic, called the Hidden Sword Pavilion, is said to have been built more than 900 years ago and is as old as the main city of Sidney itself.
The descendants of the Qin family have lived here for generations, and for them, this attic is the symbol of the Qin family.
If the Hidden Sword Pavilion does not fall, the Qin family will not fall.
And when the Qin family became the representative of the "Sword Cultivation" seat in the temple council, the Hidden Sword Pavilion also became a holy place in the minds of all sword cultivators.
The Tibetan Sword Pavilion contains the relics and cultivation experiences of the Qin family's high-level sword cultivators of the past dynasties, and for each sword cultivator, if they are lucky enough to enter the Tibetan Sword Pavilion, the benefits to their cultivation are immeasurable.
Of course, Roy and the others just came to have a meeting, and they were not qualified to enter the Hidden Sword Pavilion.
He is not a sword cultivator himself, and he has no need for this.
Arthur led his peers past the door of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and entered the banquet hall on the side.
After coming to Qin's house, the look on his face became even more vibrant.
Although he is not from the Qin family, the inheritance of his awakening is sword cultivation, and coming here is like coming to a holy land, even if he has not entered the Hidden Sword Pavilion so far, it does not hinder him from being honored in the slightest.
The dΓ©cor in the ballroom is just as opulent, even when compared to the best hotels in West Denia.
The host, Qin Xiang, was already waiting in the banquet hall.
He had brown hair and brown eyes, was dressed in white, with a sword at his waist, and sat on the chairman's seat expressionlessly.
Thinking about it, as a descendant of the Qin family, he lives in this palace every day, and the Hidden Sword Pavilion is his home, he is just entertaining his classmates in the back garden of his home, what is there to make a fuss about.
The pattern needs to be opened.
After the personnel arrived, a plate of delicacies was served.
This is just a regular gathering once a week, there is nothing serious, everyone is teenagers, they know each other well, there are not so many rules, and we talked about it after a while.
In the middle of the party, not only the orchestra played, but also the dancers danced, and everyone laughed and laughed, and forgot all the troubles.
Roy sat in his seat, quietly tasting the Qin family's food, these high-end ingredients are rare even for nobles to enjoy on weekdays.
This kind of party is the best bridge to enhance the relationship between classmates, but he just comes over to get acquainted with each other and have a meal, and he doesn't plan to do anything superfluous.
In his eyes, improving his strength is more useful than chatting for a hundred days.
The Qin family can have today's power, even if Qin Xiang sits there motionless, surrounded by people who are scolding him, it is not his mouth.
However, in this case, even if you don't speak, just listening to them chat, you can get some information that you can't get outside.
"The fact that the Christian family has violated the laws of Sidney is tantamount to betraying the Temple, and it is still a member of the pious Knights of the Templar......"
The sound of talking not far away made Roy temporarily stop cooking and silently prick up his ears.
The Christian family? I'm talking about Arya.
He was still curious about the maid in his house, and before that, he knew almost nothing about Arya.
"Christian is the old family of the Knights of the Templars, even if they haven't had an inheritor for two generations, they can still mix in the regiment if they read their qualifications, I didn't expect this to happen......"
"The Knights of the Templar, as one of the six special agencies of Sidney, was exposed to a scandal involving the slave trade, which not only did the Christian family be raided, but also became a stain on the Knights themselves.......
Slave trade!?
Roy's heart was sudden, but he didn't expect that the "illegal trading" that Renault meant before actually referred to this was this.
The slave trade is a felony in Sidney, and if the circumstances are true, then the Christian family died unjustly.
At this time, someone reminded on the side: "Shhh, you be quiet, Arthur is next to him, you don't know, he is obsessed with Arya of the Christian family......"
But he still reminded that it was too late, and Arthur on the side obviously heard their conversation and walked over with a stinky face.
"What do you say about me?"
"It's okay, it's okay, haha, I just happened to talk about Christian's house."
"Bad luck!" Arthur scolded.
His Addams family is also the old family of the Knights Templar, and the two families used to have a good relationship, so he and Arya, who was the same age, were barely childhood sweethearts.
Later, he entered the Kassel Elementary Academy, and happened to be placed in the same class as her.
In addition, Arya is good-looking, and unconsciously touched her teenage heart, but unfortunately after an impulsive confession, she was politely rejected.
As the saying goes, what you can't get is always in turmoil, and even after being rejected, he is still enthusiastic about Arya. Over time, everyone knew that he was interested in Arya.
Who knew that half a month ago, the incident occurred in the east window of Christian's house.
Arthur's Adams family and the Christian family had close contacts, so he was also victimized, and he himself was pointed at by his classmates behind his back during this time.
In the past, he wished to have some scandals with Arya, but now, these scandals have become a stinger in his heart.
"I've long felt that something is wrong with the Christian family." Arthur snorted coldly.
"The people of their family are mysterious and sneaky all day long, and they know at a glance that they are engaged in some shady conspiracy. The people in our family have no contact with her family for a long time! β
Arthur spoke aloud, trying to distance himself from the Christian family.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, let's just talk." The classmate hurriedly patted him on the shoulder.
Another classmate sighed: "It's a pity to say, Arya is so good-looking, without her, the other girls in the class can't be my side dishes, and I don't know where she has been in the past half a month......
Arthur's eyebrows twitched slightly.
This unintentional exclamation immediately opened his mind.
Yes, the Christian family has fallen, and Arya, who has been deprived of nobility by the temple and lost the family's protection, is not even as good as a commoner.
Where is she now?
Does she still dare to refuse him now?
Arthur's breathing suddenly became heavy.
All kinds of thoughts came to his mind, disillusioned, emerging, disillusioned, and finally frozen in one picture.
This is a picture he once dreamed of in a dream, absurd and obscene, but now he suddenly feels that this dream may have the possibility of coming true.
Suddenly, a round fat man squeezed over, holding a half-eaten melon in his hand, and asked without moving, "It's so lively, what are you talking about?" β
"Nothing." Arthur said a few perfunctory words and quickly left.
The classmates on the side chatted with him: "Yo, Harvey, I haven't seen you for a week, I feel like you're getting fat again." β
"Don't talk nonsense, I work out every night!"
"Oh, I know, I know, hahaha......"
After chatting for a while, Harvey sat down next to Roy: "Eat, eat, eat!" You eat so much, how come you don't get fat? β
Roy spit out the bones in his mouth and smiled: "It's because I can't get fat that I dare to eat so much." β
"You ......"
Harvey felt his fists harden, and he snorted: "I see that you are a drunkard who does not mean to eat in the bar, but in fact, your ears are cocked high."
"If you really want to know about Arya, why don't you just get involved in their conversation?"
Roy thought for a moment and said, "I don't know them very well. β
"Do you think I'm familiar with them? In fact, they are not familiar, it is because they are not familiar that they deliberately talk to them, otherwise they will never be familiar. β
"You have a point." Roy mused, "I just don't like Arthur. β
"How?"
"Forget it, it's not good to say bad things about people behind your back."
Roy shook his head, "You should think of it as a mismatch." β
Harvey smiled "hehe" and was about to tease a few words, only to find that the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
Qin Xiang stood up from the chairman's seat, clapped his hands, and waited for everyone's eyes to look at him before he slowly spoke:
"Let me tell you something."
