A sugar beetle shook its tentacles and quickly crawled outside along the cracks of the nougat floor tiles. Although the candy house was still filled with the same sweet smell as before, this little bug was still sensitive to it.
Seeing the disharmony hidden under the sweetness, I couldn't help but run away in a hurry.
Very smart and decisive, the young vampire secretly came to a conclusion.
Matthew stood behind his cousin, lowered his eyelids, and stared closely at the shiny little bug the size of a button, watching it crawl through the cracks of the nougat bricks, around the mint flower pots, and across the chocolate threshold, and finally
Disappearing into a pile of creamy foam, a feeling of contentment and sadness arises in my heart.
However, he cannot express this feeling that has nothing to do with reality. Instead, he should maintain a stiff smile on his face and let others realize his focused expression - this is not simple, but for those who have accepted the card
For Matthew, who was educated by the elite of the Lun family, multitasking is really a basic skill.
Even though he was a little distracted, the young vampire still didn't miss every word of the conversation between his cousin and Mr. Serprano.
"...We just bought this mansion this morning, and before we had time to rest, you came without warning. It can be seen that you care about Cheung Kei Association much more than 3A. No wonder the 3A hunting team
This year’s ranking has dropped a lot.”
Seprano sat behind the light yellow soda cracker table. Although there was a strong sarcasm in his tone, his expression remained gloomy without any change: "Of course, what I am more curious about is that there are not twenty or thirty people around.
Follower, who gave you the courage to come to my place... and you brought a little little vampire with you."
When he said the last words, Soprano looked at Matthew Cullen with his deep eyes. The young vampire who was originally angry because of his offensive words suddenly became excited under this look, and suddenly remembered his cousin's previous incident.
Teach, in the end, he didn’t do anything rude, he just subconsciously showed a little bit of his pointed fangs.
"It seems that the prices offered by the fishmen in Linzhong Lake this year are good, and you have made a lot of gold." Sir Friedman finally spoke, laughing in a low voice, and said slowly: "Otherwise, your
I can’t be so confident... and rent such a big mansion."
As he spoke, Jazz raised his head, wrinkled his nose, sniffed, and then immediately took out a white silk handkerchief from his arms, covered it with his mouth, and added in a low voice: "No wonder, I felt like this candy store from the moment I walked in.
The smell of the house is a little weird... You are the only one in Alpha Castle who is willing to ask for those fish-men's copper coins that smell so bad."
Soprano's face became more and more gloomy.
Matthew glanced at his cousin uneasily, then glanced at the Cheung Kei Association officials standing around in the shadows. He quietly moved his fingers and slid them to the side pockets of his robe.
Through the thin satin, the hard feeling coming from the corners of the Dharma book in his pocket immediately made him feel at ease.
It's just that the two big guys who were talking seemed to be very adaptable to the atmosphere of sarcasm. The fat wizard sitting behind the table didn't seem to have the urge to throw a cup to show off - Serprano even had time to change his sitting position.
Sir Friedman turned sideways and revealed Matthew next to him.
"Let me introduce you," Sir tilted his head politely and said to Serprano: "This is my cousin, Matthew Cullen. Today I will take him to get familiar with this castle... By the way
, he is the son of Count Angele Cullen and Countess Lindsay O'Brien Cullen, and he is not some inexperienced little vampire."
"Isn't he a freshman?" Soprano snorted.
"The first grade is different from the first grade." Sir Friedman raised a finger and shook it slightly: "Matthew's class is Astronomy Class 08-1, the same one where Lao Yao is the counselor.
Class...you know, it's not easy to get into Lao Yao's class. Fortunately, I still have some dignity at home, so I didn't waste much effort."
Hearing this, Soprano suddenly showed a subtle expression on his face - this was the first time Matthew saw the fat wizard's expression change, but for him, this didn't seem to be a good thing.
"That's right." Seprano twisted his lips and forced out a weird smile: "The first grade is different from the first grade... If I remember correctly, there was a male student in Lao Yao's class who was paid by the government.
Winning the best hunter in this year's freshman competition? Looking at it this way, the class led by Dean Yao is indeed extraordinary."
Matthew took a gentle breath.
After enrolling for more than two months, because he often stayed in Sir Friedman's lounge, he had gradually learned about the discord between Zheng Qing and his cousin - although the turmoil had gradually subsided, and Arthur Ness had also been affected.
He received the punishment he deserved, but the final result of the matter still made the Jazz unhappy, so much so that few people in the lounge would mention someone's name.
"...A few days ago, there were many strange rumors in the school, such as I frightened a certain public-funded student with a nightmare curse, and someone released a wild monster in the middle of the night, etc.
"At this point, the fat wizard lowered his voice slightly: "Of course, we know that these are all rumors... very, very childish rumors."
"Maybe you should have a good chat with that young man named Zheng Qing, so that these nonsense comments won't have room to continue to ferment."
Hearing these words that were half warning and half persuasive, Friedman immediately thought of Sima Yi's failed plan and the kappa monster that was cut into pieces by the lake, and his mood became even worse.
He stared at the fat wizard expressionlessly for a few seconds, wondering in his heart how much the fat man opposite him knew.
After a pause, he turned back, pointed at the fat wizard behind the table, and said to Matthew:
"You should have guessed that this is Soprano...I'm sorry, it's Mr. Mike King Soprano. The newly elected vice president of the Alpha Student Union, the president of the Cheung Kei Association, and an important figure of His Excellency Augustus
One of his partners, his Xiangqi hunting team ranked seventeenth in the entire first university, only one or two places lower than our 3A hunting team. Of course, maybe you have heard of his incompetent brother, who is in Daming
The pig demon that was suppressed..."
"Eleventh," the fat wizard sitting behind the table suddenly leaned up and smiled maliciously at the two guests. The fat on his cheeks shook with excitement. He bit the words and added in a clear voice.
: "Cheung Kei Hunting Team is currently ranked 11th."
"Perhaps you are only taking your cousin to visit Alpha Castle today, so the news is inevitably lagging behind - of course, we all know that your news is never very accurate - in the latest issue of "Glorious"
On "The Road to the Hunting Team", the Cheung Kei Hunting Team's ranking has exceeded 3A, ranking 11th among the official hunting teams of First University."
