As a preparatory student, Wendy noticed that the school was unusual the day she entered Kassel.

She waited alone for the elusive CC1000 train, with no one to see her off, and the long railroad tracks stretched out into the mountains and forests of Chicago, and the preparatory students who got on the train with her were mostly students who had long been related to Kassel, and a few were strangers who had awakened naturally.

Once again, she put on her friendly and low-key mask, silently read the English book, sat on the train, and planned in her heart.

If she wants to become stronger, in addition to needing the Kassel Academy to give her more and richer alchemy skills, combat skills and connections, more importantly, she needs to get in touch with the "real" of the world - the dark side.

The monarchs of the dark side are the real initiators of the world machine. Through the torture of "Victor", Wendy Vivarel learns about the secret city in Siberia - 023.

An unknown boss, but with cloning and serum technology, and trying to reach into Western Europe.

She doesn't want to be "eaten" like Victor, she also wants to be one of the people at the table.

If Wendy wants to get close to the world that eats Victor, she must first get close to the place where the dragons have the most secrets.

Kassel.

She raised her head and looked at the manor hidden in the mountains, with red ancient brick walls, dense green vines, and black iron gates covered with rust, making it difficult to see the true face inside.

Wendy dragged her luggage, and under the surprised gaze of her mentor, Professor Sloane, she took a firm step that she couldn't even imagine, and walked into this ordinary-looking and delicate academy like a battlefield.

Wendy put on the "Phantom Mask" and became shy and gentle, and from her face it was impossible to imagine that she was a child who could spend more than a year facing a face that looked like her father, and could still be a killer.

Her long eyelashes concealed the thoughtfulness and depth in her eyes, and she wandered around the campus like a ghost, looking around for useful experiments or new technologies.

Norma, the first thing that caught her attention. Such a huge system monitors her every move all the time, and she doesn't dare to act rashly except for being able to get some relatively inconsequential student information and faster information accessibility.

But Qin Li's appearance made her eyes light up.

With years of research on people, half-breeds, and various psychology, Wendy felt strange when she saw Qin Li instinctively fight back against Kawano who sneaked up on him because he was naughty.

How can a naturally awakened child have such a strong ability to accept, although it is normal to remain vigilant in the new environment, why is he so vigilant?

Qin Li was on guard for the sake of vigilance.

This is not like the character and habits that have been cultivated in society for a long time, but it seems to be due to the fact that after a long time out of a closed environment, after a certain period of training to integrate into the group, some contradictory behaviors are formed.

Eccentric. Wendy thought like this when she was free for a day, so she walked out of her hiding place, looked at Qin Li's accustomed face, pulled Kawano down and pretended to be dead, and rushed over in a hurry, pretending to ask for help.

That was her first step closer to them.

For a long time, she couldn't find a reason to appear by Qin Li's side, so she had to silently pay attention to his every move.

Utilitarian, that's what makes him weird. It is obviously a natural awakening, but it is like being task-driven, and every sentence seems to have been practiced and arranged a long time ago, and this kind of behavior should be only available in long-term professional training.

This Qin Li, the problem is not small. Wendy immediately thought of the various organizations outside of Kassel that she knew so far, and began to sift through them one by one.

Later, one day, she smelled Dior's perfume on Qin Li's body, and she was very puzzled, so she asked him half-jokingly.

"My sister...... Love perfume. She is quite close to the high-end cosmetics consumer market, and she also calls herself a fashion pioneer in the Mediterranean. Qin Li shrugged his shoulders and replied truthfully.

Eastern Mediterranean...... Wendy wrote it down.

After Qin Li left in a hurry after the final exams of that semester, Wendy began her temptation.

She had suspected that Qin Li was an important figure in the Dark Side Organization, or a dangerous half-breed with a mysterious bloodline.

She still believes in her "holy judgment", penetrates everything, and is fearless.

She used her super calculation ability to forge a "heavenly performance" and left herself a killer move.

But she knew that she was wrong, and it was only after Qin Li grabbed the Sage's Stone with her bare hands that she felt that she was really lonely, and her whole body suddenly fell into an ice cellar, cold to the bone marrow.

Those eyes, those golden pupils, really looked like the terrifying gods that appeared in the original vision, and they looked like Kungunir stabbing at him.

——————————————

Back to the present.

Julie put down her coffee cup, stopped reminiscing about the old things, and with a victorious soft smile on the corner of her mouth, she said respectfully, "Dear friend, this time, what kind of cooperation is there?" ”

The cooperation between the Vivarel family and the head of the August family was the most correct decision, and the huge dividend finally "soothed" the widowed single mother Julie Vivarel, and the will also dispelled her worries.

Look at Wendy's cowardice, isn't she going to slay dragons? Julie hummed softly in her heart.

Qin Luo took in all the emotions in her eyes, her face was not shocked, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.

"Of course it's a new collaboration, Julia, you're a smart person, and I like to deal with you."

Julie's face flushed, and she pretended to be shy with skillful and elegant movements.

"Let's cooperate with the Fanzhuo family this time."

Julie's smile froze.

"Can't you? I thought you knew Lizzie well. Qin Luo tilted his head innocently, appreciating the change in her expression with interest.

Julie immediately cleaned up her expression, "This...... Forget it, you know, Eliza she has always disliked me, just because I am, I'm a stepmother. ”

Qin Luo looked at her silently, her face became really fast, and her tears were still swirling, look.

"That's right...... Then I'd better ask the head of the family for his opinion, after all, Wendy is half of the Fanzhuo family's blood, and she is also the real heir. Qin Luo regretfully grabbed the shawl in his hand lightly, looking like he was about to put on his coat and stand up and leave.

"Ah, I, it occurred to me that Wendy hadn't come back yet." Zhu Li was nervous and incoherent.

"It's okay, it's okay, I think, let's settle down first, after all, Lois, how big your face is, I'm not afraid of being deceived by you."

Zhu Li took Qin Luo's hand and shook it slightly, with a flattering smile on her face. Qin Luo's eyes rolled downward, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Okay, then let's talk about it specifically." ”

"Madame, do you remember our auction? I now have a new idea, the last time I went, I held a reasonable auction of ordinary alchemy products on the surface, but in fact, it was still secretly selling our products, but the amount and time of the inventory were shortened, and the stronger families were selected in advance to participate in the meeting.

The Fanzhuo family is mainly the monopolist of the white road in Western Europe, and I recently thought that if the black and white roads could be paralleled, there would be more façade and more income. Qin Luo said with a smile.

Julie's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "What do you need us to do with Vivarel?" ”

Qin Luo stretched out two fingers and rubbed them, "Cash, and real estate." ”

What? Why? Julie's eyes widened in surprise.

"At the auction in Paris, it is a bit risky to call for money from unknown sources from my Malta, and it will implicate you.

So...... I would like to arrange a small task for Madame, in your name, to help me mobilize funds to prepare a new cooperative auction, and I believe that with your cleverness, you will definitely be able to help me do it. ”

What a great idea. Julie began to calculate that the bills and tokens of the August family would be much more useful than this small auction business! Besides, it's not really your own money, it's just a different place to spend money.

She knew that Qin Luo's money of unknown origin was actually gold and silver currency that had not been in circulation for a long time - things like handicrafts, who knows how they came from, and the amount was huge and impressive.

She agreed.

Qin Luo didn't look very happy, just smiled mysteriously as usual, and said, "Then if my partner comes and reports my name, please be sure to withdraw the funds, dear." Your share of the profit will be received in less than a month. ”

"Great, but I don't have a lot of property in Paris......" Julie said again.

Qin Luo had already put on his coat and said softly, "Oh, don't be so stingy, this kind of business will bring a few more relatives and friends, and let others make a little money, there is an old Chinese saying, 'Do whatever you can', isn't your credit enough?" ”

The girl patted her skirt, Julie's eyes kept on her face, wanting to hear more, Julie's eyes revealed greed, she longed for these words to help her make a decision, to make a decision, every word seemed to have magic.

"You're a 'Duchess.'" Qin Luo put his hands behind his back and leaned forward gently, his smoky eyes directly met Zhu Li's blue pupils.
