Chapter 39: it's too much
Someone over there is secretly plotting to start a riot.
Here, Jim, the organizer of the banquet, is hiding in a utility room full of outdated items, looking down at a crystal ball.
The crystal ball was placed on a stone pillar, and silently, dynamic images emerged one after another inside.
That was the scene in the banquet hall at this time.
Jim and his friend Kevin didn't dare to join in the fun when they noticed that their father was participating in the banquet.
But they are also unwilling to give up this plan to suppress illegitimate children completely.
So I had to use this magical item called the Eye of Peeping to indirectly control the overall situation.
It doesn't count as controlling the overall situation, because this thing seems magical, but its actual function is not strong.
This kind of crystal ball was invented by wizards, and the original intention was to peep at the private life of ordinary people. Some wizards were very interested in this aspect, just as ordinary people would like to observe the survival and reproduction of wild animals.
It was later redesigned by other wizards, with certain enhancements, and even those apprentices who had initially stepped into the threshold of wizards could observe it.
It is a pity that it is limited to an area that is "set" in advance.
However, although the function is very limited, it is still no problem to find people.
"Just... where is the illegitimate child?"
Jim, who was staring at the hall with this crystal ball, was secretly puzzled.
In his knowledge, the illegitimate child is unfamiliar with everyone here, and as a half-blood, he must be very restrained in this banquet hall full of pure blood.
So he constantly monitored the hall and even the remote corners of the manor, hoping to find an isolated figure.
As a result, nothing was found at all!
Before, I saw a familiar figure with a relatively strong figure appear in the field of vision.
But it didn't take long for the man to leave the hall with another lady who looked very beautiful from the back.
Jim thought it might be Arthur, but intellectually he thought it was impossible—
He was suppressed so badly, how could that guy have the courage to come to Ernest Manor?
"I didn't see my dad, it's really weird... Could it be that his disguise skills are so superb that people can't see any traces at all?"
Jim has a headache.
The entire manor is really too big, and the crystal ball's field of view is still very narrow, which is a bird's-eye view, which makes this kind of search work very difficult.
Staying alone in this utility room boredly observing the situation, it was inevitable that he would be impetuous for a long time.
Especially when the first two targets, the illegitimate child and the father, have all disappeared.
So Jim couldn't help but start to be dissatisfied with his friend Kevin.
This is what Kevin asked him to help with, but since last night, I don't know what happened, that guy has never been good to him.
He even grabbed his arm roughly in the corridor before and asked him what the **** he was doing... He didn't understand, how was Kevin so embarrassed?
At the moment, this incident originally required two people to take turns monitoring, even Kevin.
But as soon as the guy heard that his fiancée from the Chelsea family was coming, he couldn't wait to leave the utility room.
He said he was going to greet him, but it had been half an hour, and he had not come back for him.
"what is this?"
"Does he think of me as a dog of his family?"
Smart people always pay more attention to some details, but because of this, they can also find the existence of a certain attitude from some details.
The Ernest family is not a top family. Jim can become friends with Kevin, but also rely on the friendship between the elders and the same single parent experience.
But in fact, the gap between family and family is still obvious.
In a close relationship, two young teenagers may ignore this.
But now, when there is a crack in the relationship between the two sides, the sense of class that was intentionally or unintentionally ignored immediately emerges.
This made Jim narrow his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more emotion he accumulated in his heart.
However, this feeling did not stay brewing.
After a while, a waiter came to report, claiming to have discovered the location of the illegitimate child.
"Finally found!"
Jim was refreshed and hurried toward the hall.
He had to find his friend Kevin before he could officially start planning.
…
"The piano is actually not suitable for playing with the third hand. I told you that only by touching its keys with real hands can you play the most moving pieces."
On the second floor of the banquet hall, Kevin, who was sitting on the east side of a round table next to the fence, seemed to be very professional and said to the two girls wearing ghost masks on the opposite side:
"For example, Ms. Jennifer of Cole County, although she is a high-level wizard, she always plays with her own hands. It is because of this that she can be called the first musician of the Blackthorn Kingdom."
"Jennifer? It's said that the lady will be there for a friendship star on the day of Fort St. Grant's school day?"
The pale-white ghost masks with long faces looked exactly the same, and the two girls were dressed similarly, so they could only tell who was who from their voices.
The voice who spoke at this time seemed a little crisp, and it sounded very pleasant, and even instantly made people feel the lively atmosphere.
However, when Kevin heard this voice, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
"may be."
He smiled graciously on the surface.
"Fort St. Grant brings surprises to the students every time they hold the opening ceremony. I think it would not be a surprise if Ms. Jennifer went to the show."
"But she is said to have been attacked by a Scarlet Cross wizard last month and was seriously injured."
"Is there such a thing?"
Kevin was obviously a fan of the lady she mentioned, and immediately frowned upon hearing this, "Where did you hear that?"
"Mentioned above in The Wizarding Morning."
"Then the credibility of this news should not be very high,"
Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, "That newspaper always likes to spread rumors, it's just..."
Their chat sounded very pleasant, and there was no cold scene.
However, as long as you observe it for a while, you will find that the one sitting next to the lively girl never spoke, but just listened so quietly, and occasionally glanced at the hall below, looking a little bored.
But in fact, she's not really boring.
Alyssa was just using this attitude to express her dissatisfaction with her friends beside her.
Yes, dissatisfied.
Because her mother initially reached a marriage intention with Kevin's Felix family without considering her opinion, Alyssa hated Kevin very much.
However, knowing her attitude, the friend beside her continued to respond to the other party's words, and from time to time, she turned her head to ask her what she thought about so-and-so.
Obviously trying to smooth things over for Kevin.
However, she is her own good friend, why should she help an outsider who is not very familiar?
"I shouldn't be here."
Alicia secretly regretted it.
It won't be long before I go to school, but my character has obvious flaws.
Alyssa is well aware of this, so when she received an invitation from a friend next to her, she thought that maybe it would be good to adapt to the crowded environment in advance, so as not to make any jokes after the official enrollment—
It is said that at that wizarding school, any student needs to share a room with three other roommates.
However, after arriving here, she didn't feel any adaptation at all.
The friend beside her blindly catered to Kevin, which even made her feel a little strange.
So, as if the only pillar had been taken away, Eliza felt more and more uncomfortable with the noisy environment around her.
However, to her relief, the conversation between the two did not last long.
As a waiter hurried over and whispered something in Kevin's ear, the expression of this "fiance" that Aliza hated changed, and finally got up and left here.
So the familiar friend next to him came back.
"Why didn't you speak just now, Alicia?"
She chirped and asked, "It's your fiancé anyway, why are you so indifferent?"
"I won't marry him."
Alyssa said angrily.
She has said this no less than ten times to various people.
It's a pity that no one seems to care about her thoughts.
"Since your mother has decided that it is Kevin, it will be difficult for you to resist."
The friend said disdainfully: "Tell me, Kevin is not bad, although he looks a little ugly, but he has a good personality."
"Otherwise, look at the guys from the same background as him, which one is not arrogant and domineering?"
Well, I talked with people for so long before, but now I say people are ugly...
Alyssa felt a little speechless to her friend.
Although she doesn't really like Kevin, she feels that the guy's appearance is actually within the range of normal people, so it's not ugly, right?
"Winnie's father doesn't agree with Winnie and that magician either."
What I thought in my heart was one thing, and what I said on the surface was another thing, I heard Alisha say: "Isn't it a compromise in the end?"
"Winnie, that's different."
The friend sneered: "She is ten times uglier than Kevin. You can't marry a wizard normally, so you can only hand in an ordinary person."
"It's really impulsive, and she doesn't even think about it. If she really wants to have a mixed-race child in the future, wouldn't she be bullied to death? Her entire family will be embarrassed by it."
Alicia frowned.
I haven't seen this friend in front of me for about three months, not a short time, but not a long time...
Why didn't she realize that the friend in front of her would look like this before?
Thinking that when she was a child, the other party could cry sadly when she saw a kitten injured on the side of the road, but now she spoke ill of another friend without any scruples, she was a little at a loss for some reason.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, the girl wearing the ghost mask asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Alyssa shook her head, "I just—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden noise from the hall below.
The voice sounded a bit wrong, and the two looked sideways, only to find that two people seemed to be in conflict below.
On one side is a black-haired figure with outstanding temperament, but because he wears a cat-face mask, he cannot see his specific image.
The one who conflicted with him was a tall, brown-haired boy who didn't know what was going on. At the moment, he was pointing at the other party and roaring something loudly.
Not far from the two of them, there was a young girl in a long sky blue dress, eagerly wiping some of the wine spilled on her skirt with a handkerchief, looking flustered and looking like she was about to cry.
There were a few people beside him who were comforting something in a low voice.
"It was the man who accidentally walked and hit Evelyn."
After watching it carefully for a while, they understood what was going on, and their friends sneered because of thiswww.wuxiaspot.com But I dare say that that **** must have deliberately relied on that unlucky ghost. "
"why?"
Alyssa was very strange to hear the words, "Do they have any grudges?"
"Of course not, Evelyn was just taking the opportunity to show how popular she was."
The friend said sarcastically, "Look, aren't there several men who stand up to protect her now? When others see it, oh, Evelyn must be a good girl with good character and study, right?"
"A bunch of idiots, what a **** laugh..."
"Is this too much?"
Alyssa was surprised when she heard the words, "Is it possible to make trouble with others just to show that you are popular?"
"what is this."
The friend said disdainfully: "The wizard's world, there are more things than this, if even this - oh, my God..."
She suddenly let out a surprised cry, and then seemed to see something extraordinary, and hurriedly leaned on the fence and looked down carefully.
Seeing this, Alyssa turned her head and looked at it, only to find that the two men below had started to fight each other while they were entangled.
Or it can't be counted as fists and feet. The tall and strong brown-haired boy just grabbed the collar of the black-haired chest with his hands, and was suddenly knocked to the ground by the opponent, clutching his cheeks and wailing in pain, and didn't get up for a long time.
However, maybe because of too much force, the mask on the face of the black-haired boy accidentally fell off.
"Yes, it's really too much!"
The friend who had been disdainful before suddenly became full of righteous indignation at this moment.
"I've never seen them bully people like this! Never!"
