Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 105 Quarrel
The two chatted all the way to the restaurant.
At this time, there are not many people who haven't eaten dinner yet, so the restaurant is a bit empty.
But as soon as they sat down in their old seats, they heard a familiar laugh not far away: "Seriously, Ivan, I really think you're a talent now!"
Alan looked back and saw that the voice was coming from behind a pillar behind him. He tilted his head slightly, glanced quietly, and saw that it was none other than George Vervadora, and his roommate and Ivan were sitting next to him and across from him.
"Where, where, it's not your light that sits in such a high position. Ivan replied with a smile on his face, "If I hadn't sat with you, I don't think Professor Rocher would have looked at me." ”
"No, no, no, I've always thought that gold shines wherever it is. Fervadora Jr. said. Judging by the look on his face, Ivan's words were very useful, because he was now smiling.
"Probably because I'm lucky, otherwise the scores must have been yours. ”
"No, it's still that you're quick enough to always be the first to raise your hand. Little Vervadora waved his hand to show that he didn't care about any of this, "It's really rare to find someone like you who has both knowledge and rich practical experience, and I must recommend it to my father to let you come to work in my house." ”
"Really?!" Ivan was about to jump up with joy when he heard this, but he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "I am really honored to serve the best florist family in the entire Hepp continent!
"I think that the new knowledge and suggestions you have brought will be of great help to my family's business, and I will definitely be able to breed more high-quality varieties!" Little Vervadora nodded with satisfaction, "You will definitely become my family's chief flower cultivation expert!"
Then the two flattered and flattered each other.
Hearing this, Alan turned his head, looked at each other speechlessly, shrugged his shoulders and began to eat with his head down.
By the time they had finished their meal and left the restaurant, Ivan and little Vervadora were still excitedly eating and discussing all sorts of questions about flower cultivation. Since they were all related technical terms, Alan couldn't quite understand what they were talking about, but he saw little Vervadora nodding frequently and extending a thumbs up to Ivan.
"Their relationship doesn't look like it's going to be good. After leaving the restaurant, Rael said thoughtfully.
"Hmm...... Unlike his brother, Ivan is very intelligent. Alan nodded, "He knows what he has, where he can go, and what he can do to climb higher." ”
"How did he do that?" Riel wondered, "Aren't the people on the second and third floors always looking like they're on top of the top? ”
"Most of the things are, but it doesn't mean all of them. Alan shook his head, "Some people value their origins, and some people value ability, such as Frey." I think the purpose of the Vrvadora family is also to focus on ability...... Ivan probably spent a lot of time researching the details of the people on the second and third floors, selecting those who might help him, and then recommending himself or something. ”
"Wow...... He'll have to put in a lot of work. Riel was stunned and said, "There are at least one or two hundred people on the second and third floors, right?"
"Hmm. And I think he must have suffered a lot...... Because it's inevitable that someone like little Stewart will give him a look. ”
"Hah, that's really hard for him. "No wonder he looked in a bad mood last night." ”
The two chatted all the way back to the room.
It was still nine o'clock, and Alan wanted to go to the library to preview tomorrow's class, but Ian told them that he had also taken tomorrow's medical magic class, so Alan and Riel decided to stay in the room and read with him, and discuss anything they didn't understand.
Of course, it was usually Alan who unilaterally explained the problems in the book to them.
Ian has even more problems than Riel, and he seems to have very limited talent in this class, and many areas are difficult to understand.
"Why did you choose to take this course as a minor?" Alan asked, a little curious, "Isn't it good to find an elemental course of magic?" those things are much easier to understand than this one, and the spells are easy to memorize...... Unlike this course, there is such a thing as a human anatomical diagram. ”
"Well, I didn't think about it that much...... Ian said embarrassedly, "Since my parents were often injured while doing farm work, I was thinking that even if I knew some theoretical knowledge, at least I could know some herbs, and if something happened, I would be able to do some emergency treatment." ”
"I see. Alan nodded and said with a smile: "To have such a filial child as you, your parents will definitely be very happy to know about it." ”
"Yes, it wasn't easy for them to raise me and my brother...... Ian sighed and said with a serious face, "After all, the soil of Tumon is very poor, and there is rarely a good harvest of food. When I was a child, my family was very poor, and I often didn't eat the last meal, and my parents preferred to starve themselves in order to feed Ivan and Ivan...... So although the family situation has improved over the years, their health has not been very good......"
"Your efforts here won't be in vain, come on!" Alan nodded and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, "If there's anything you need our help with, just ask!"
However, as soon as Alan said this, the door was pushed open.
The three of them were startled, and at the same time looked at the door, and found that it was Ivan who had returned, and was glaring at them with displeasure.
"What's wrong? so bad?" Ian asked, looking at his gloomy face.
Ivan didn't speak, slammed the door shut, and walked straight to Ian, still holding a folded garment in his hand.
"What is this?" Ian asked again.
"A gift from George. Ivan replied simply, "He said that he would take me to his house when he had time, and when I graduated, he would introduce him to his father and let me work at his house." ”
"That's great! That's a good thing!" exclaimed Ian.
"yes, it's really something to celebrate...... But what are you unhappy about?" asked Alan, a little curious.
"It's none of your business. Ivan glanced at Alan and said coldly.
Alan was stunned, not knowing how his tone could be so impulsive.
I saw Ivan pull Ian back to the side where they lived, and said, "I ask you not to tell outsiders everything in the future, okay?
"I didn't...... I didn't think so......" Ian whispered, embarrassed.
"I heard it all. The more Ivan spoke, the more angry he became, not giving Ian a chance to explain, "As soon as I walked to the door, I heard you tell them how poor and pitiful our family is...... Can you not mention this to outsiders? Is it meaningful? They have helped us a lot, but can they help for a lifetime?"
When Alan heard this, he understood what Ivan was angry about. is different from his brother's honest and honest character, his heart is much more delicate and sensitive, so he looks down on many of Ian's behaviors, and is even ashamed of it.
"If you need anything in the future, just tell me. George is really taking me as a friend, and it's not the same as when you go to the second floor to be a servant!" Ivan continued.
His words sounded full of superiority, which made Riel angry, and he slapped the table and walked over to them: "You should stop in moderation! He's your brother anyway, and you can't talk to him in that tone no matter what he's doing right or wrong!"
"This is my family's business, what does it have to do with you!" Ivan looked impatient.
"It's okay, Ian is my friend, I don't think he's doing it right, you shouldn't accuse him like that!" Riel is usually slow to react, but when it comes to arguing, he is a bit articulate.
Alan saw that the two were about to quarrel, and quickly ran over to try to persuade Rare.
However, Ivan became even more angry when he saw Alan coming, and sneered: "Friend, do you mean, do you think that this kind of behavior of giving us food and returning gold coins is something that should be done between friends?"
Alan was speechless.
"I've had enough of your mercy a long time ago!" Ivan became more and more excited, and his cheeks began to redden, "You spend money, and then let your brother do the work for you, what is the difference between these behaviors and those on the second floor? What is the difference between treating dwarfs!"
"No, no, don't get me wrong, I...... Uh, I just wanted to say thank you......" Alan said.
"There are many ways to express gratitude, so why use this one?"
"I ......," Alan was a little speechless.
"I don't need to explain anything, we don't need these so-called thanks from you!" Ivan was still emotional, "I think George is much more reliable than you! At least he really sees me as a friend and really wants to help me!"
"You really don't know what to do......" Riel was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and even had the urge to rush up and beat him, but was stopped by Alan.
Eren looked at Ian and saw that he was just standing aside and sighing, not saying a word.
After a long silence, Alan sighed, shook his head, and pulled Riel back to his bed in silence.
Ivan now seemed really a little unreasonable, and it was useless to say anything to him.
"He's really hopeless!, isn't he?" Riel grumbled, "We're so nice to him!"
But Alan just sighed and didn't speak. Because judging from Ivan's position, his previous actions did have some of this flavor.
This is how many misunderstandings arise. It's like the same cloud, which may have different shapes in different eyes.
Alan sat on the edge of the bed and thought about it for a long time, only to realize that this misunderstanding had probably been there a long time ago, but Ivan never said it, and he never found out.
In fact, misunderstandings and dissatisfaction have been constantly generated, and then slowly piled up little by little, but today, taking this opportunity, they erupted all at once...... It's like a volcano.
