"He hit someone and just walked away with a pat on the back. Isn't it too easy?" The senior was a little unhappy after all.
"Come on, we can join forces and take him down, but more people will be affected. That guy's eyes are too firm. At first glance, he is not the type to compromise."
"Capture him? You are too optimistic. He defeated the Demon Leopard in one breath and suppressed Stefan. Do you think you can do it?"
Several seniors were discussing in low voices, with their own plans in mind. Some wanted to show their favor to Elaine and say that they had contributed to this matter, while others thought that it would be better to do more than to do less.
Judging from Lian's usual habit of talking about Downton, she admires her brother very much. If it gets too big, her mentor might also be involved.
He was one of the only three dragon-slaying instructors in the school, and most people couldn't afford to offend him.
"Such a shameful thing, the school definitely doesn't want to cause a big fuss!"
Being able to sit as a senior, at least the emotional intelligence is not bad. After the five people exchanged glances, they directed the students to treat the injured classmates and try their best to downplay the impact of the incident.
The senior's prediction was wrong. If it were an ordinary group fight, no one would talk about it. But this time it involves Elaine, Stefan, and Elena, it is destined to be known to everyone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when Elaine returned to school after finishing her part-time job, she found that the atmosphere was different. People passing by were pointing at her and whispering something.
Elaine was looked at inexplicably. She lowered her head several times to check her outfit, thinking something had gone wrong.
A group of girls were staying in Elaine's dormitory, chattering away, and occasionally their eyes would glance at her bed and desk.
Apart from the bedding and pillows issued by the school, Elaine did not have any extra items, which were essential cosmetics for other girls. She had never used them.
Comparisons between girls will always exist. Many eldest ladies from aristocratic families look down on Elaine who comes from a border town, but they also have to admit that she is indeed talented and gifted. She was promoted to the third level of war at the age of fourteen.
is the best proof.
"What's going on?" Elaine opened the door. Seeing a group of people, she asked with a smile.
No one answered, everyone stared at Elaine.
"Are there any flowers on my face?" Elaine's personality is like that of the girl next door, unassuming, not proud, and very approachable. If it weren't for her appearance, qualifications, and excellent academic performance, she would make those aristocratic girls jealous.
, she will have many friends.
Of course, there are many now. At least the common people and noble women from small families still have a good relationship with her.
"Elaine, do you have a brother?" The roommate who had the best relationship with Elaine saw the others looking over and kept poking her with her fingers. She knew they were asking her to ask, but she was also curious.
.
"Yes, my brother is very good. He is only fifteen years old. He has taken the position of postmaster of Chenwu Town. If he was not too young, he would have got the position of clerk and secretary." Elaine didn't know about the clerk yet.
Having been dismissed, the newly appointed Powell was severely beaten by Downton.
"Captain Postman? Isn't he a magician?" As soon as Downton was mentioned, Elaine's face was filled with happiness, and her roommates were already used to it.
"No, my brother's qualifications are actually much better than mine, but my family is too poor. He worked hard every day to pay for my tuition." Elaine's face turned gloomy. She always felt that she had delayed Downton.
Otherwise, it must be my brother who is staying at St. George's College now, and he will definitely get the honor of the top student.
"That's not right, the boy who beat Stefan today is the first level of war." The girls whispered. The soul shield is the best proof of the level, and they will never admit their mistake.
"Could the rumors be wrong?"
"Is this a trick played by someone who wants to pursue Elaine?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The accent sounds like someone from the West."
Elaine looked at the group of chattering girls with a confused look on her face, "What's wrong?"
"Is your brother's name Downton?"
"Yes!" Elaine put down her bag, washed her hands, took out a piece of black bread, poured a glass of water, sat on the bed, and chewed slowly.
This is her dinner.
"Are you still eating this? Look how thin you have become?" The roommates were very distressed. Elaine usually eats this all the time. They all know that she is trying to save money.
"My brother can become a magician if he needs money to buy magic stones. Then he can find a better job." Elaine is also a self-respecting person. Her mentor said that she would support her, but she kept her mother in mind.
If so, people should live by their own hands and sweat, only then can they live with dignity.
"Your brother is already a magic user, and he is still at the first level of war." Someone couldn't help shouting and told what happened in the afternoon.
"Impossible." Elaine immediately denied, "The last time I saw my brother was during the winter vacation, about five months ago. Even the most powerful genius cannot be directly promoted from a magic user to the first level of war!"
"Those proud sons of wealthy nobles can do it!" Some people have objections.
"Come on, apart from talent, how many resources are needed to accumulate it? Downton's brother is a frugal commoner!"
"What civilians? Can civilians afford the Black Dragon Wings Saber worth almost seven million?"
"But the speed at which people are promoted from ordinary people to war level is really exaggerated. I think they should have the same name."
"Stop arguing, you are definitely not talking about my brother." Elaine thought of her brother's letter and said that he was coming to find her, but she still shook her head, because the speed of promotion was so incredible, and she knew that her brother was a genius.
But it probably hasn't reached this point yet.
"We'll know tomorrow, right?" The roommate smiled, "Don't go to work tomorrow. He said he would come to see you again."
"I won't go out tomorrow. I'm just waiting to take a look at him. It is said that Downton is very handsome, has a cool appearance, dual-wields weapons, and killed Stefan in one go."
"He also said that Shalawi would wash his butt and wait. Haha, the kid was so frightened that he hid and went home."
"But he was very ruthless. It is said that he injured more than sixty people. Even the five seniors were unable to do anything to him. The walls of the entire corridor were stained red with blood."
The female students were talking a lot, becoming more and more excited.
Except for her brother, Elaine paid no attention to any boys. She sat in front of the desk and took out the magic pattern study to study. If she could learn it as soon as possible, she could make money by carving magic patterns.
…
Time went back to the afternoon. As soon as Downton left the dormitory building, he saw several students leading a group of teachers rushing towards him with anxious faces.
"If that Stefan wants to take revenge on you, what are you going to do?" Homer asked. It's okay to hit someone, but you must think about the aftermath, otherwise it will be a reckless act.
"I have been merciful enough and tried to keep the conflict within a small area. If he uses the power of the family, I will not sit back and wait for death." Downton talked about it. He had thought about this problem before taking action.
.
"All ears!"
"Our treasure is my trump card. I have stored more than three thousand years of fine wine, suits, and even Sherman Bears. I can use them to make friends with Marquis Boas. Of course, Elaine's mentor is also an option.
Their status shouldn't be much worse than that of Stefan's father."
"Yes, these items are so rare that they are enough to tempt the nobles to help you solve this matter." Homer was very satisfied with Downton's answer. He was worthy of being the Fox of the West. He made a decision and then acted. It was very remarkable.
"In fact, the operation is not that simple. Although I have the pocket watch rewarded by Boas, if he is jealous of money and refuses to do things after receiving money, there is nothing I can do." Downton sighed, "Then I can only go back to the West.
Let’s find Dofink to find a solution.”
"Network is something that needs to be established slowly." Homer comforted, "Don't worry, at least Elaine's mentor should be relatively well-established."
"I have never met that mentor. I have only heard Elaine talk about it, so I can't judge her character." Downton shook his head, "I really don't want to humble myself and ask for help if it's not necessary."
"Hurry up and accumulate power, grow up, and become a giant that no one can ignore!" Homer did not comment on Downton's ambition.
Everyone has their own rules for doing things. Homer tried to create a master according to his own ideas, but unfortunately failed. This time, he wants Downton to develop independently, maybe he can achieve that goal.
Downton stopped a carriage, told the driver the address, and was pulled to Dongcheng District.
"This is a wealthy area. If you want to stay in a hotel, it's better to go to the South District." The coachman was also kind-hearted. Looking at Downton's clothes, he felt that he was not a rich man.
Downton took the opportunity to inquire about the customs and customs of the royal capital. These coachmen undoubtedly knew the most.
Perhaps his bad luck ran out at school. The coachman Downton met was very talkative, and he didn't deliberately drag him to travel further. You must know that this kind of carriage is charged by time. The longer the delay, the more the fare will be.
.
Downton got off the car in front of a hotel called the Golden White Goose. Looking at the six-story building, he felt that Melissa must be cheating him.
"Sir, do you want to stay in a hotel?" The lady at the front desk looked at Downton with an average attitude. A person like this with shabby clothes should go to Nancheng District.
"No, find someone, a woman named Melissa."
"We don't have the person you're looking for." The lady replied subconsciously, but after hearing Downton's words, she quickly shut her mouth. She had not forgotten the big client who came in the afternoon, bringing with him a group of indigenous slaves.
, and booked all the rooms in the backyard.
The most important thing is that the customer was received personally by the boss.
"No?" Downton frowned.
"Yes!" The lady's attitude immediately changed, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Downton to answer, Melissa walked down the stairs after washing and asked with a smile, "How was it? Are you satisfied with the place I chose?"
"It seems more expensive!" Downton said bluntly, "And the service attitude is average."
Melissa's eyes immediately moved to the front desk lady, and her tone became cold, "Go to the accountant to settle this month's salary. You are fired." (To be continued...)
