"Sara, when you get to school, remember to study hard, if you have any requirements, just tell Cinta that she is your maid, don't be afraid of trouble, or write me a letter."

At the door of the auditorium, Toure Crowley half-crouched in front of Sara and whispered, and Sara nodded as she listened, not resisting at all.

It has been more than a year since she came to the Crowley family, and a year ago, when Toure Crowley saw the letter of recommendation written by Mavi, he immediately adopted Sarah, knowing that Toure had adopted a little girl of unknown origin, Duke Crowley was very angry, but no matter how he reprimanded, the son did not kick Sara out of the house.

Sara was not well received in the Crowley family, and the noble family looked down on her, but for the sake of Toure Crowley's face, no one dared to embarrass her, and the last servant who dared to abuse Sara had been fired by Toure and driven out of the Crowley family.

As Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, Toure Crowley grew in status in the family, second only to the Duke of Crowley, and as soon as the old Duke Crowley died, he was the only heir worthy of the name.

For this disobedient son, the old Duke Crowley is very helpless, there is no good way, who made Toure Crowley the only male in the family?

He is the only one who can inherit the title of duke.

"Young master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Miss Sarah." Said the valet named Sinta.

"Hmm."

Toure nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Ma Wei walking towards him, frowned slightly, and stood up.

"General Toure!"

When he arrived in front of him, Ma Wei stretched out his palm and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to see you here, it's really an honor." ”

"Your Excellency seems to be the merchant who came all the way from Frederick's kingdom." Toure's tone was neither salty nor salty, and he shook his hand symbolically.

"Nicholas von Manstein, this is my daughter, Emma..."

"It's almost time for the opening ceremony, so if there's nothing to do, I'll go in first."

Toure didn't have the heart to say hello to Mavi, he and Nicholas von Manstein met for the first time today, and they didn't know each other at all, not to mention that there were so many people like this that he didn't want to give him a good face at all.

The opening ceremony was indeed about to begin, and Toure never expected that after the students entered the venue, Mavi would actually sit next to him!

Although he didn't say anything, Toure was already getting bored in his heart, under normal circumstances, if he showed that he was not in the mood to talk, the other party would leave very interestingly, but Ma Wei was different!

Of course Mavi won't do the thing of a hot face and a cold ass, he has a serious business to find Toure.

Listening to the speeches of the principal and bishop on the stage, Ma Wei lowered his voice and said to Toure: "Has the general's gunshot wound in the left shoulder healed?" ”

Gunshot wound?

Toure's eyelids jumped for a moment, he did have a gunshot wound to his left shoulder, and during the Battle of Perea, he was hit in the left shoulder by a stray bullet, causing him to fall into the sea, and later survived by luck ....

This incident was reported in the newspaper, but the newspaper did not say the specific location of the wound, only that he had been shot and fell into the sea, and very few people knew the specific location of the wound, except for family members, that is, some relatives and friends.

Where did Nicholas learn about this?

Just as Toure was wondering, Mavi said, "Is Sara a good boy?" ”

Why is Sara mentioned again?

Glancing at Mavi in surprise, Toure hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course Sara is a good boy, she's very smart. ”

"That's good."

Nodding slightly, Ma Wei didn't say much, and listened quietly to the principal on the stage telling the new students about the school rules of Yinton School, he stopped talking, and Toure couldn't sit still.

"Mr. Nicholas, you.... Meet Sarah? ”

"I don't just know Sarah." Mavi said: "I also know Frederick, Maimaiti, Amo..."

"You...."

Hearing these names, Toure stood up at once, and the surrounding parents cast puzzled glances, and even the headmaster on the stage paused to speak.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Toure sat back, and this time, his face became extremely solemn.

Sara is his adopted daughter, and Frederick, Maimaiti, and Amo are the students recommended by Mavi.... All were adopted by others, who, without exception, were all survivors of the Battle of Perea.

It is not uncommon to adopt children, many nobles will adopt one or two orphans in order to show their 'benevolence', as if this is a pass for the upper class, in fact, the nobles who adopt orphans can indeed receive more attention at the banquet, which is a manifestation of the highly developed social productive forces, which belongs to the old tradition of the Kingdom of Windsor.

The real problem is ....

The origin of these orphans.

Mavi was able to name Sarah, Frederick, and Mamat to prove that he knew where Sara came from!

In silence, several possibilities flashed through Toure's mind, and he slowly clenched his fists with murderous intent.

If you dig deep into the origin of these orphans, you will definitely dig up New Ross City and dig out Mavi!

At that time....

How could they, the nobles who had adopted Sara, not be affected?

Of course, there is also a very small probability that Toure does not dare to ignore.

"You... Who the hell is it? ”

"You still don't recognize me?" From the lookout, Mavi's voice was very low, and he said in a voice that only he and Toure could hear: "Toure Crowley, honorable captain, it seems that you have forgotten our friendship when we fought side by side. ”

His eyes slowly widened, and Toure turned his head and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Toure said suddenly.

"Crumb, Byrne, Poulson, Monsev ...."

One name after another came out of Mavi's mouth, and with each name, Toure's heart trembled.

"They are all the most elite sailors in the Kingdom of Windsor." "Cram was shot in the shoulder by a native in the voodoo kingdom with a blow arrow, who sucked the poisonous blood for him?" ”

"Bourne.... This poor young man, who was only nineteen years old, was supposed to return to the kingdom and marry his fiancée, and for that you gave him an extra hundred gold pounds. ”

"Poulson, he likes to tell bad jokes the most, in the naval battle, he was hit by a cannonball, his body was blown in two on the spot, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he had a drink with us last night."

"Monseff .... You said you want to support his mother, I believe you can do it, these people, they used to stand with us, they have a bright future, they have infinite possibilities, but now.... Their names have been forgotten by the world, except for you and me, except for the spirits of the dead who have returned from the deep sea, who else remembers them? ”

Ma Wei took out a small iron box from his arms, opened it, filled it with sun-dried mint leaves, threw a piece into his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Perhaps, we should all die in that naval battle, so that no one will disturb your beautiful aristocratic life.... General Crowley. ”

Toure gasped for breath, cold sweat wet the shirt on his back, covering his cheeks, greedily grabbing the air as if he had drowned, his body trembled, his hole enlarged, and he would twitch from time to time, and the nobleman sitting next to him asked with concern: "General Crowley, are you okay?" ”

"Don't call me General!"

Toure suddenly erupted, he roared, stood up again, the gaze cast around him, his cheeks turned sideways, into familiar faces in his eyes, Crum.... Bourne... Poulson... Monseff ....

Toure froze in place, and after a long time, he suddenly turned and walked out of the auditorium, and walked to the lakeside of Yinton School, staring intently at the reflection in the water.

The deep blue and black waters of the lake are just like the Perea Strait under a clear sky.

Back then, he was not a general, just a naval colonel, a fleet commander, the rank of general, poured with the blood of his companions, and he stepped on the corpses of the crew, step by step ....

】

Touched the threshold of power.

He hates it when people call him a general!

Behind every general, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

Bell –

Bell –

As the bell rang and the opening ceremony ended, and the white doves fluttered in the sun, Mavi walked out of the auditorium and found Toure standing by the lake in a daze, gazing at the reflection in the lake like him.

"Who are you? Vice Admiral of the Royal Navy, or Toure Crowley? ”

"What do you say?"

Toure raised his head, the harsh sun shone on him a little unable to open his eyes, after a period of calm, he had stabilized his emotions, and said jokingly: "You are really an immortal soul, the enemy cannonball can't kill you, the gallows can't kill you, even the god of wisdom Anatole.... I can't help it. ”

"Those who have already died once have long since fallen out of the category of death." Ma Wei stretched out his arm: "You pulled us at the beginning, and now, it's our turn to pull you." ”

Holding his outstretched arm, Toure got up from the edge of the lake and hugged Mavi heavily: "Welcome back, Your Majesty the Pope." ”

"The General still likes to tell bad jokes as always, Poulson says bad jokes because he is not born with a funny spirit, and your lame aristocratic jokes are beyond the comprehension of us people at the bottom.... I prefer to hear you tell you about the noblewomen's nightly anecdotes. ”

"I do have a few pornographic jokes about the ladies, do you want to hear them?"

"Save the jokes for later, find a quieter place first."

"Let's go to Sarah's dormitory, now parents have to accompany their children to the school building to drop off their luggage...."

Toure led the way in front, and soon Ma Wei and the others came to the school building area of Yindun School, the boys and girls are separated, although Yindun School does not admit female students, and female students can only audit, but the new school building built by the school for audit students is not at all inferior to the old school building, and even newer and more luxurious, which makes many male students complain.

Normally, men other than housekeepers are strictly forbidden to enter the girls' school building, but today is the first day of school, and many rules have to be made exceptions.

Without any hindrance, Toure and Mavi easily entered the girls' school building, the wide corridors, paved with smooth marble tiles, cleaned clean, each of which is an independent single dormitory, equipped with a bathroom, using the most advanced steam boiler, and providing hot water 24 hours a day....

Sara's dormitory is on the 3rd floor, the residence of the senior class, don't look at Sara is only 13 years old, but she is already the highest seventh grade student at Yinton College, and she can choose to enter a well-known university such as Cambridge or Oxford next year, while 16-year-old Daniel can only go to the fourth grade and become a younger student.

"If it weren't for the eldest brother, you had to let me learn from scratch, I would have been able to skip a grade!"

Daniel, who came to meet Mavi after putting his luggage, saw that Sara, who was 3 years younger than him, was actually a seventh-grade student, and immediately felt that Frederick's kingdom had been belittled.

"In the order of teaching, Sara is also your veritable senior sister." "She was my student in New Ross. ”

Sara looked at Mavi blankly, wondering why Mavi was calling himself his student, and why Toure had suddenly brought so many people to her room.

"Sarah, don't you know me?"

Ma Wei unleashes the Siren's Tears to transform himself back into his original form.

"Teacher! Yunia! You're back! ”

Sara screamed excitedly, just wanted to pounce, and remembered the identity gap between herself and the goddess, and stopped suddenly, pressed her palm to her chest and said, "Truth is supreme!" ”

"Don't be inhibited, although Yunia is a goddess, you are about to enter college, and Yunia has not memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table..."

Ma Wei rubbed his daughter's head and sighed wistfully.

"Huh? Hasn't the goddess memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table yet? Sarah's face was full of disbelief: "Isn't there a geometric truth in the three truths?" ”

"Humph!" Yunia looked away: "I just haven't found the truth of geometry yet!" As long as you find it, the ninety-nine multiplication table or something, you will memorize it in one day! ”

While Yunia and Sara were catching up, Toure walked to the window, looked at the bustling road downstairs and said, "It's been two months since you came to London, why didn't you come to me as soon as possible?" Are you afraid that I will betray my promise? ”

"Not really." Ma Wei shook his head and said, "I'm just afraid that after you know my identity, you will reveal your flaws, and if you don't know, you will definitely not show your flaws." ”

"In that case, why did you suddenly come to me now... Oh! Toure thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Manstein Potions Company is in trouble, isn't it?" You came to me to borrow money? ”

"Sort of." Ma Wei smiled: "Did the eldest prince collect funds from you?" ”

"He borrowed money not only from me, but also from my second sister, the Rosanna and the Crowley family, almost 300,000 gold pounds." "Originally, he wanted to put my family on mortgage, but my father strongly disagreed. ”

"I still have some personal savings, but you definitely don't need a small amount of money like tens of thousands of gold pounds, so..."

Ma Wei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I probably guessed that the eldest prince would ask you to borrow money, after all, the Crowley family and the eldest prince have a marriage, and he wants to start a potions company, how can he not ask the Crowley family for help?" ”

"No, I mean.... If you are short of money, I can borrow it from my old friends in the fleet of Saint-Martine, they are no ordinary sailors now, and the lowest ranks are lieutenants! ”
