A sugar mantis quivered its tentacles and crawled out along the cracks in the nougat-laid floor tiles. Although the candy house was still filled with the same sweet smell as before, the little insect was still sensitive to the disharmony hidden under the sweetness, and couldn't help but flee in a hurry.

Clever and decisive, the young vampire secretly concluded.

Matthew stood behind his cousin, lowered his eyelids, staring at the button-sized, shiny little bug, crawling through the nougat bricks, around the mint flower pots, over the chocolate threshold, and finally disappearing into a pile of cream foam.

It's just that he can't express this feeling that has nothing to do with reality. Instead, he should maintain a stiff smile on his face and make others aware of his focused expression - it's not easy, but it's a basic skill for Matthew, who has received an elite education from the Cullen family.

Even though he was a little distracted, the young vampire still didn't miss a single line of conversation between his cousin and Mr. Seprano.

“...... We just bought this mansion in the morning, and you didn't have time to rest before you came. It can be seen that your concern for Cheung Kei is much stronger than that of 3A, and it is no wonder that the ranking of the 3A hunting team has dropped a lot this year. ”

Seprano sat behind the pale yellow soda biscuit table, although his tone revealed a heavy sarcasm, his expression was always gloomy and did not change in the slightest: "Of course, I am more curious, there are no twenty or thirty followers around, who gave you the courage to come to my place...... And with a little vampire that still smells of milk. ”

As he said his last words, Seprano looked at Matthew Cullen with deep eyes. The young vampire, who was originally angry because of his offensive words, suddenly became agitated under this gaze, and suddenly remembered his cousin's previous teachings, and finally did not do anything rude, but subconsciously showed his small sharp fangs a little.

"It seems that the prices offered by those fishmen in Linzhong Lake this year are good, and you have made a lot of gold. Sir Friedman finally spoke, laughing under his breath, and said slowly, "Otherwise, you would not be so confident...... I also rented such a large mansion. ”

As he spoke, Sir raised his head, wrinkled his nose, sniffed, and then immediately took out a white silk handkerchief from his bosom, covered it to his mouth, and added in a loud voice: "No wonder, from the moment I first entered the door, I thought this candy house smelled a little strange...... You are the only one in Fort Alpha who is willing to ask for those fish-men stinky copper plates. ”

Seprano's face grew darker.

Matthew looked at his cousin uneasily, then glanced around at the Cheung Kei Guild officials standing behind the shadows, and his fingers quietly moved to the pocket on the side of his robe.

Through the thin satin, the hard feeling coming from the edges and corners of the Dharma book in his pocket made him feel a lot more relieved immediately.

It's just that the two big men who were talking seemed to be very comfortable with the atmosphere of mutual ridicule, and the fat wizard sitting behind the table didn't seem to have the urge to smash the glass—Seprano even changed his sitting position for a while.

Sir Friedman leaned sideways, revealing Matthew next to him.

"Introduction," said Sir politely, tilting his head, to Seprano, "this is my cousin, Matthew Cullen, whom I have taken to familiarize himself with today...... By the way, he is the son of Count Anglie Cullen and Countess Lindsay O'Brien Cullen, and is not some milky little vampire. ”

"Isn't he a first-year freshman?" snorted Seprano.

"First grade is not the same as first grade. Sir Friedman held up a finger and shook it slightly: "Matthew's class is Astronomy 08-1, which is the class where Lao Yao is a counselor...... You know, Lao Yao's class is not so easy to get into. Fortunately, there is still some face at home, and I haven't wasted much effort. ”

Hearing this, a subtle expression suddenly appeared on Seprano's face—this was the first time Matthew had seen the fat wizard's face change, but it didn't seem like a good thing to him.

"Absolutely. Seprano's lips twisted, and he squeezed out a weird smile: "First grade is not the same as first grade...... If I'm not mistaken, there is a male public-funded student in Lao Yao's class who won the best hunter in this year's freshman competition? ”

Matthew took a light breath.

After more than two months in school, he has come to know the feud between Zheng Qing and his cousin because he often spends time in Sir Friedman's common room - although the turmoil has gradually subsided, and Arthur Ness has been duly punished, the final outcome of the matter is still not very happy for Jazz, so that in the common room, few people will mention someone's name.

“...... A few days ago, there were a lot of strange rumors at the school, such as that I scared a certain public student of Jiuyou, and someone released a wild demon in the middle of the night, and so on. At this point, the fat wizard lowered his voice slightly: "Of course, we know that these are all rumors...... Very, very naïve rumors. ”

"Maybe you should have a good chat with the young man named Zheng Qing, so that there is no room for these nonsense to continue to ferment. ”

Hearing these words, which were half warnings and half persuasions, Friedman immediately remembered Sima Yi's failed plan, and remembered the kappa demon who was dismantled by the lake by the lake, and his mood became worse and worse.

He stared at the fat wizard for a few seconds with a blank face, wondering how much the fat man on the other side knew.

After a pause, he turned around, pointed to the fat wizard behind the table, and said to Matthew:

"As you might have guessed, this is Seprano...... I'm sorry, it's Mr. Mike King Seprano. The newly elected vice president of the Alpha Student Union, the president of the Cheung Kei Association, and one of the important partners of His Excellency Augustus, his Cheung Kei hunting team ranked seventeenth in the entire No. 1 university, only one or two places below our triple-A hunting team. Of course, you may have heard of his unsuccessful brother, the pig demon who was suppressed in Damingfang......"

"Eleventh," the fat wizard sitting behind the table suddenly leaned up, smiled maliciously at the two guests, the fat on his cheeks trembled happily, bit the word, and added in a clear voice: "The Cheung Kei hunting team is now ranked eleventh. ”

"Maybe today you are only taking your cousin to visit Fort Alpha, so there is inevitably a lag in the news - of course, we all know that your news has always been not very accurate - in the latest issue of "The Road of the Glorious Hunting Team", the ranking of the Cheung Kei Hunting Team has surpassed 3A, ranking 11th in the ranking of the official hunting team of the First University. ”
