Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 83 Back to School
If Alan was completely confused at first, now when he hears Alyssa's words, he almost understands everything.
Everything Norton had just done was just acting for others to see. The whispers between him and Little Bartow were supposed to convey some of Mr. Barto's commands, which the others couldn't hear, but Alyssa could. The change in Barto's attitude is inextricably linked to what Mr. Barto commanded, for example, "pay attention to the glorious image of the Barto family."
Sure enough, Alyssa's next words also confirmed Allen's guess.
"'The lord said that you must pay attention to your words and deeds in front of outsiders, especially in the past few days when he has just taken office, and do not embarrass the Barto family. If you want to sit in this position for a little longer, you must take this matter to heart. Alyssa chuckled and began to repeat what she had heard, "'Also, remember to stuff these students with a favor before they leave.'" I don't like them either, but it's not bad to have them sing the praises of the Barto family for us at school. ’...... Oh, as you can see, and then there's the scene we just saw. ”
"That's ...... Nolan Barto, the vice president of the Crivari Magical Management Association......" Alan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "This kind of acting ruling ......"
"I guess it was taught to him by the incoming President, Mankizi Winslow. Alyssa laughed along, "It's better to spend all day thinking about this kind of thing, and it's better to really do something useful." It seems that the future of the Hepu Continent is very worrying. ”
Alan sighed softly and didn't speak again. The hand holding the money bag suddenly didn't know where to put it.
However, before he could ask what to do with the money, Riel's actions had already solved the problem for him.
I saw that Riel, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up from his seat, reached out and snatched the money bag from Allen's hand, then opened half of the car door and threw it out......
Before they left the city, the gold coins were scattered all over the place. I only heard a burst of exclamations from the pedestrians on the road, and then began to rush to pick up the gold coins. This is also mixed with some praise for the Bato family: "The great Bato family, a good example of spreading wealth to help the poor!"
Only then did Alan remember that the money bags still had the name of the Bartow family written on them.
Riel let out a sigh of relief after all of this and sat down with a little satisfaction. It seems that with his throw, a lot of the dissatisfaction that has accumulated in his heart has also been thrown away.
Seeing this scene, Alan and Alyssa looked at each other for a moment and did not speak. They can all see that Riel may only be feeling relaxed for a while, and it won't be long before he will be in the same state again, as if he is on the verge of losing control.
If the cause cannot be found, there is no way to prescribe the right medicine, and the lesion will not be eradicated, and the disease will continue to recur. That's it.
But the most difficult problem is before them: the cause may only be known to Riel himself, and he is not willing to tell anyone at all, even if it is Ellen.
Alan could clearly perceive that since they had returned from the Place of the Roses, Riel had not enjoyed talking to him very much, and seemed to have consciously avoided him so often, that they hadn't even made eye contact for so long. This was unimaginable before. And Alan can clearly feel that Rare's personality is also changing...... In the past, he couldn't be quiet at all, and if he didn't speak for half an hour, he might be unbearable, as if there was an endless topic to talk about. But now, even if he stayed in the room with Allen, he didn't have any intention of chatting at all. In the past, he always looked happy when he came back, and there was always something new to share, but now, he goes out to hang out more as if to avoid them, especially Allen.
"But how can you get out of his mouth what happened that day......" Alan was at a loss, and at the same time felt a sense of helplessness that he had never felt before. He looked up at Cecilis, and saw that she was also distressed, as if she was also worried about the matter.
There was an indescribable heaviness throughout the carriage until they returned to the school gate.
It was supposed to be a rare opportunity to enjoy the scenery, but for the first time, Alan felt that two hours was so long and a little difficult. He didn't look at the scenery outside the window at all, and all he thought about was what to do. But until they got out of the car, he didn't come up with any solution......
"Yo, why did you come back so early?" Roots was strolling around the castle gate, and when he saw that it was a few of them who had returned, he took the initiative to greet him, "I've only seen people who don't want to come back, but this is the first time I've come back early like you." Isn't the city of Krivari fun? Or is the place where you stay too shabby that you are a little dissatisfied?"
Since that exchange, the relationship between Roots and them has become much closer, and they will grin when they see them, and they are not as sarcastic as they were in the beginning.
"Uh...... It's a long story...... "When Roots said this, Allen didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he had to be perfunctory.
"Could it be that it is to prepare for the new president?" Roots asked again.
"Welcome the new president?" Alan was a little surprised to hear the news.
"Oh, it seems you don't know yet?" said Roots, "something strange has happened on the Society's side, the former president, Mr. Nigris Winslow, has been confirmed missing, and his son will be officially taking office tomorrow. ”
"We've heard about this, but we didn't know he was coming to school. Allen said.
"It's an old tradition...... Rotz said, stroking the stubble on his chin, "This school is an important institution for sending talent to the association, so the headmaster has always been the president of the Magic Management Association. And after each new president has given an inaugural speech in the city, he will make a regular appearance here to convey his governing ideas to the students, and by the way, to increase his prestige and popularity in your hearts...... Well...... However, all of this happened a little too quickly, although it was said that it was to avoid the sudden loss of the leader and the paralysis of the association's operating mechanism......"
