Chapter 77： 　Dawn Blade

When he knocked on the door of Hughton's house on Rio Avenue, the old drunkard was still half-drunk and jumped into Allen's eyes.

"Alan? Come in."

Hughton opened the door and let Allen in. On the second day of returning to Ugalle Fort, Allen paid a visit, of course, to learn the relevant knowledge of Rubik's Cube sequence. It was morning, even though it was not early, Hugh had just got up. Let Allen sit in the living room while running to freshen up. When I walked into the hall again, I picked up a wine bottle next to the table and poured a sip of spirits into my mouth.

Another spit of strong alcohol came out, and the aftertaste of the wine wafted throughout the living room. Allen frowned and said, "Mr. Hughton, alcohol hurts you, so drink less."

Hughton rolled his eyes, and sat down on his apparently faded sofa: "What do you know, I can't live without this good thing."

"Speaking of which, I heard that you were ambushed the other day?"

Allen nodded.

Hughton murmured: "Who is so courageous and dare to hit Bethkod's idea. You don't know, the old madman Horn is now offering a reward for the killer. The commissioning platform of the hunting group and the black list of the underground killer organization. Above, it’s all your Beskod’s reward announcements. If I were the mastermind behind the scenes, I probably can only hide in a remote corner of the surface. Stay with it for ten or eight years and don’t come out, hey."

As soon as Allen fought, he didn't know Horn's big moves. Before that, he saw that Horn had even a few words passed down from generation to generation by Butler Heising, and thought he didn't care about the apron attack. Now it seems that it is ridiculously wrong.

"Don't talk about it, I heard that Old Horn has arranged for you to study at Dawn Blade?" Hughton changed the subject and said.

"Yes, I have to report to the college next Monday."

"Very well, the Rubik's Cube sequence involves a lot of things. For example, mathematics, space science, source power system, etc.. If you don't have a little foundation, I can hardly guide you in this area. The Dawn Blade is the highest level institution in Babylon , It’s much easier for you to soak in it for a year and a half, read through those basic theories, and then learn the Rubik’s Cube sequence.” Hughton said here, paused for a moment, and began: “I have one more thing I want to entrust you. Just treat it as your tuition."

"What's the matter?" Allen barely considered it, and chose to agree.

Hughton patted him on the shoulder: "Come with me."

He led Alan to the second floor and up the stairs, which was a corridor. The two walked to the end of the corridor and stood in front of a door. Hughton knocked on the wood and said, "Vera, it's Grandpa."

There was no movement inside the door, and Hughton sighed and opened the door.

The door is obviously a girl's room, from the furniture to the decoration colors, there are large patches of pink. However, there is a very uncoordinated scenery in this room, and that is the girl standing by the window and painting. Long black hair, black eyes, black long skirt... The girl's first impression of Alan was that it was full of ink-like darkness, which revealed a suffocating heaviness on her body.

As if there was a space where she was, even the air became as heavy as lead.

Look carefully, her facial features are extremely beautiful. The thin willow-like eyebrows, the straight nose, and the tight lips make her look calm and classical. However, her eyes were lifeless.

Alan has seen many moving eyes, like Lucy's vibrant green eyes, and Adele's domineering windows of the soul, they all have their own characteristics. There is no doubt that the girl's eyes are also very characteristic, but what it will convey is hopelessness, emptiness, and loneliness that people cannot imagine. Just being stared at by these eyes for a moment, the weak-willed person is afraid that they will not be able to stand the depressive deep and screaming in these eyes.

What kind of painful soul can bring out such a pair of eyes?

The door closed slowly, isolating the black-haired and white-skinned girl from Allen's eyes.

Until the door was completely closed, Alan seemed to know how to breathe, took a deep breath, and said in surprise: "Is she?"

"Vera... my granddaughter."

Going back to the direction of the stairs, Hughton's back looked so old at this moment. Back in the living room, he drank a few more sips of liquor before saying: "7 years ago, Vera's parents died in the Outland War. From that time on, Vera closed her mind and became like You just saw it. She is very sensitive and fragile. I have been taking good care of her. But even so, the situation may not improve. So I plan to let her go to Dawn's Blade to study, although the college enrolls He is a family child, but there are also places for self-financed students. I still have some savings that can be used for her study."

"I hope Vera can go out and get to know some friends. After all, she has a long way to go in the future, and an old man of mine can't stay with her for that long." Hughton glanced at the second floor: "It's just that she usually doesn't I don’t have much contact with people. I may have a lot of discomfort when I first arrived at the college.

"I will take care of her." Allen nodded.

Hughton laughed and said, "I just like you. It makes sense at all. No need to spend any more words. Then Vera will help me watch a little bit, but don't have to help her out, otherwise she will never get out of her heart. That shadow."

"I know what to do."

When leaving Hughton's residence in this way, it was almost noon. Alan felt a little when he walked out of the small garden in front of the house and turned to look in the direction of the second floor. Behind the window of the room on the second floor, a black-haired girl stood in front of the window. Alan turned around and quickly flashed into the shadow behind the window, like a frightened kitten.

"Vera!" Allen shouted suddenly: "See you in the college."

Leaving a sunny smile in that direction, Allen left. After the magic speed car drove away, the girl walked to the window again. He glanced in the direction of the street, then his eyes fluttered and fell on the easel by the window. On the canvas is a portrait painting. In the center of the picture is a man. He is holding a huge blade with his back facing the viewer. He only turns his head halfway, leaving a side face.

Under the man's feet was a mountain of corpses, and in front of him was a figure of Chuuchuo. The enemies who are like mountains and seas have strange appearances, but they are coming to the men without exception. The background/scene in the distance is represented by large blocks of rich black and red color, which is absolutely tragic.

The girl's gaze fell on the man's side face, and the line of that side face was somewhat similar to Allen!

A week later, when Alan stood in front of the towering arch of the Dawn Blade Academy, the young man's mind was shocked again, just like when he first saw Ugalle Castle. The difference is that the castle gave Alan the feeling of being immersed in the vicissitudes of time, while the Blade of Dawn gave him a feeling of passion.

Butler Heising escorted him through the academy's arches, and the world in front of him suddenly became clear. Under the light of dawn, the first thing that caught Allen's eyes was a vast green space, which was divided into several areas by the main road, branch roads, fountains, and statues. Go straight along the main road and you will see a pair of stone sculptures halfway through.

The work is actually very monotonous. On the high abutment, some rubble seems to be piled up in disorder. Just to the left of this pile of rubble, there is an old broken blade inserted. The simple and rough composition brings a huge sense of soul shock to every newcomer. From the debris and broken blades, the viewer seems to be able to feel an indescribable desolation and tragic.

In the middle of the abutment, there is a line of words: Take blood as the blade and faith as the shield. Cut through the night, usher in the beginning of dawn, shed the light of hope!

Looking at this line of words, Allen only felt as if there was a flame burning in his chest, making him almost want to roar, so he felt comfortable. Haising stood behind him and said: "This is the motto of the two academies of Dawn Blade and Hope Shield. The purpose is to remind future generations not to forget the tragic war. The only difference is the theme of the sculpture, the theme of Dawn Blade. It is Broken Blade, and the Shield of Hope is a remnant shield. Broken Blade and Remnant Shield represent blood and sacrifice!"

While the Butler Heising explained the stone carvings and the meaning of the words to Alan, a pretty and tall girl stepped forward. She calls herself Julie, a student of the college, and is responsible for leading Allen to visit the college. Julie has long flaming red hair, and her personality is as hot as her red hairFull **** and long snow-white legs indicate that she has matured in some way.

Butler Haising handed Ellen to Julie, and said: "Miss Julie is a self-financed student sponsored by our family. She will be responsible for showing Master Ellen you to visit and familiarize yourself with the entire college. If the young master’s life in the college is anything If you need help, you can also ask Miss Julie for help. Then, I will leave first, and the driver will pick up the young master on the weekend."

"Thank you, Mr. Heising."

After Butler Haising left, Julie's eyes gleamed when she saw Alan. She is a self-financed student sponsored by Beth Kode. She was born in the populace. The ideal thing is to catch a noble son in the college, which will completely change her destiny. Otherwise, after leaving the college, the best result is to work in a company under the name of Beskode, and finally marry a potbellied company executive.

So when Heising contacted her and asked her to be responsible for the introduction of Allen at the beginning of enrollment, Julie seemed to see the **** of luck beckoning to herself. Even in the identity of Allen, he is always declared to be a collateral child. But the family steward of Heising is needed to manage him, so even if Allen is not as noble as his direct blood relatives, he should be an importantly cultivated elite in the side branch family.

In fact, such talents are Julie's ideal marriage partners. After all, those direct children of the aristocratic family, which is the turn of civilians like her, had already called some ladies of the noble family with roughly the same background/view to divide them up.

What's more, the young master in front of him is younger than himself, but his height can catch up with him. Ignoring the faint childishness between his eyebrows, just looking at his figure, he is no different from the fourteen or five-year-old boy. Julie felt that perhaps she could become a special mentor to this young master in some aspects. In any case, this young master with a masculine silver hair is much more pleasing to the eye than the Vincent who also came from Bethkode!
