Chapter 171: Abs
"Ebs, are you going to go to college?"
In an art class in a secondary education school in the imperial capital, a teenager asked another teenager beside him.
It was a semi-aristocratic educational school, some of which were children of the nobility, and the other were the sons of servants and stewards who served the nobility.
The aristocrats used this way to win people's hearts, make their subordinates more loyal, and at the same time cultivate "henchmen" for their children, after all, they will definitely be emotionally different from when they were young.
Abs didn't speak, just silently took a paintbrush and drew something on the painting in front of him.
The boy asked curiously, "What are you drawing?" ”
He leaned in to see that it was a rainy street, and a man in black and an umbrella was standing on the side of the street in the dark.
The umbrella rose slightly, revealing half of the man's face, and at the same time, an index finger rested on the man's lips and made a booing motion, the corners of which raised in an imperceptible arc.
Although the man did not show his eyes, anyone who looked at the picture felt that the man was watching him.
Against a dark-toned background, this eerie feeling makes people chill.
The young man snorted lightly, "What did you draw, why is it so weird?" ”
"Is it weird? I think it's okay. Ebs looked at the painting and stood up and said to the teacher in the middle of the room, "Teacher, I'm done." ”
With that, he picked up the bag he put on his side and prepared to leave, this is the last class, so as long as he finishes drawing, he can leave.
The teacher didn't speak, just nodded silently.
As Ebs left the classroom, he remembered the scene he had seen outside the manor three years earlier, on the day of the Hundred Days Feast for the son of the Duke of Panachea, the same scene he had just painted on the painting.
After the man disappeared, most of the streets of the imperial capital were cordoned off, and the next morning, news broke that the Marquis of Os, who was stationed in the north, had been assassinated by the Assassins.
Not long ago, there was some news circulating in the imperial capital that the Marquis of Oss was killed by demons, in order to let the north fall and let the enemy's army enter the imperial capital to wreak havoc, but fortunately Arthur the Great appeared to crush this demon's plot.
Yes, with the successes of the West Francis Empire, Arthur has come to be known to some as the Great.
Demons.
Abs thought to himself.
If it is an ordinary person, when encountering this kind of thing, it is generally as far away as possible.
But Ebs was clearly not an ordinary man, he was very curious, and he had a keen interest in the mysterious world.
The reason why Abs didn't answer the man's question was because he knew that even if he went to college, he wouldn't actually change his fate in any way.
From the moment he entered this school, his fate was practically sealed.
His mother was the maid of the Panagia family, and he would inevitably enter the Panagia Mansion in the future, becoming the future Panagia Duke's confidant or servant.
In the future, his children will be like this, and so will his children's children.
His life, and the lives of his descendants, is actually fixed.
This is actually not a bad thing compared to the vast majority of people in this world.
But for Ebs, he was not reconciled.
For the past three years, he has been trying to investigate the matter about the man, but he has no clue.
He left the school and walked down the street home, when it was already a little dark, and the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the sky was gray, like a shroud soaked in kerosene.
The people of the imperial capital are basically used to this kind of weather, or rather, he has not seen a sunny day for a long time.
Ebth headed home as usual, but after a corner, he was confronted by a group of teenagers dressed in clothes similar to those he was wearing.
Abth's face changed, and he lowered his head and tried to walk past the men, but they spotted and stopped him.
"Yo, isn't this from the Panakeva family?" One of the leaders looked at Abs, who was bowing his head, and sneered, "What, are you in a hurry to go back and change the diaper of your little master?" ”
Although the school was semi-aristocratic and there were many children of commoners.
However, these nobles completely look down on these commoners, and even bully the children of these commoners in order to satisfy their inner sense of superiority.
If they are lucky, the children of their servants can go to school with the young master of their master's family, and the young master of the master's family can still support their servants, after all, it depends on the master to beat the dog.
But Ebs's luck is not so good, his young master is only more than three years old this year, and he belongs to the target of bullying in the school.
Ebth raised his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "Hello, Master Becky, I have some urgent matters at home, can you let me go?" ”
Becky's eyes showed a little playfulness, "Urgent? Are you sure? ”
"Of course it's true." Ebth smiled stiffly and said, "How could I possibly deceive Master Becky?" ”
Becky spread her legs in a large font, "Then prove it to me, get under my crotch, and I'll believe you're in a real hurry." ”
Abs was stunned for a moment, his complexion rapidly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he did not dare to be angry, so he had to stand in place, neither walking nor retreating.
Seeing this, Becky and the two doglegs behind him couldn't help laughing.
"Looks like you're not in such a hurry." There was a slight danger in Becky's eyes, "In that case, you're lying to me?" ”
As mentioned before, everyone has a desire to "be important".
Some students have a strong desire for this.
But they lack the means to achieve self-satisfaction in school, so they will prove their status by bullying and denying the rest.
In this way, they make themselves special characters to get pleasure from it.
This malice is unwarranted.
In fact, Ebs never provoked them.
In other words, the vast majority of the bullied commoners in the school could not take the initiative to provoke these nobles.
If it were an ordinary civilian student, what he should do now is endure the humiliation to drill under this man's crotch, and then quickly leave amid their ridicule.
But Abs didn't want to do that, and he took a deep breath as the men continued to mock him.
He turned and ran straight into the side alley.
Becky and the two doglegs on his side apparently didn't react, but after realizing what was happening, Becky's complexion quickly turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He felt humiliated by Abs.
He shouted angrily at the doglegs on either side.
"Catch up with him!"
Many people probably forgot about this role, because in Chapter 8
