When Wilick saw the castle, his expression was exactly the sa as Ellen's. He was shocked by the majesty of the castle. Ellen patted him on the shoulder and William ca back to his senses and blurted out, "Damn it, I've had the chance to see where Bescot was born in my life. No one would believe even if I told him."
"But the truth is already in front of . Oh, co with ."
Today was the weekend. When the magic energy flying car picked up Ellen from the academy, it also brought Wilick with it. Alan had already contacted the butler, Helsing, so he saw the head of the family as soon as he got out of the car.
Mr. Helsing nodded to Alan. "Young master, what do you need for?"
Ellen pushed Wilick forward and asked, "Mr. Helsing, are there any more guards in the family? I'd like to recomnd soone. I wonder if I can arrange for him to join the bodyguard establishnt?"
Helsing sized up Wilick. Facing this housekeeper who didn't seem to have any Origin Energy, Wilick felt very nervous for so reason. He drew his legs together, straightened his back, and arched his chest, trying his best to show off.
"Who is he?"
"A friend with a rank ten strength." Alan said simply.
Helsing nodded and said, "Level-10 is enough to make him a captain."
"Just like Barney." The butler added.
Ellen asked, "So, William passed?"
"Qualified is qualified, but Young Master, you don't know anything. The clan has its own way to recruit guards. Furthermore, it's not ti to recruit troops now. The staffing establishnt is basically full." "So you see, even you can't stuff a person in at this ti. It's against the rules," Helsing said gently.
Wilick's face was filled with disappointnt. Ellen had originally planned to weave him into the family guards. It wasn't easy for Josh or Vincent's family to find trouble with him, but Helsing now let them know that this path wouldn't work.
Every large clan had its own set of rules, so of which were unshakable. Just like Horn, no matter how much he wanted to pull Ellen into the heirs list, he could only follow the rules he had set himself. As for Alan, it was clear that his current strength was not strong enough to change these rules for him.
"However" Hussein suddenly turned around and said, "The wing tower where Young Master lives is still lacking a few guards. Originally, I planned to send so people over from the family guards. If Young Master wished, he could use his personal na to let Mr. Wilick be the head of security. Of course, his salary had to be paid by Young Master himself. In addition, with Mr. Wilick's strength, I will give him priority if there is a need for so special operations. The remuneration for the mission is calculated separately. Of course, Mr. Wilick can determine the remuneration for the mission as well as the dangers. It is up to him whether he accepts it or not. "
Alan said cheerfully, "Then let's do it. Thank you, Mr. Helsing."
Helen smiled and nodded. Then, with his help, Ellen helped William complete the relevant procedures. As a result, Welik received a set of family guards' uniforms, as well as related standard weapons.
The next day, under Barney's introduction, Wilick rented a small two-story building in Levin Town to accommodate the children he had adopted. Alan also sent a car to bring the children to town, and when the oldest of the children, i Li, saw their new ho, the little girl's face revealed a happy expression. Under ryl's command, the children cleaned the house, and Ellen and Wilick joined in.
By afternoon, the house had been cleaned. Wilick advanced money from Allen to buy so daily necessities so that the children could settle down in the town. Seeing i Li coaxing the five or six-year-olds to sleep like a big sister, Allen asked, "Why are you bringing these children?"
William was smoking a cigarette when he spat out a cigarette ring and asked, "Have you heard of Black Street?"
Alan shook his head honestly.
"Black Street is the street near the old oak tree. People in Babylon call it the cancer of the floating island. People like us who live in Black Street are just rubbish in people's eyes." William looked out of the window at the small town. Under the protection of Bescot, the town was peaceful and beautiful. "I rember living in a small town like this when I was the sa age as i Li and the others," William thought as his eyes grew deeper and deeper, as if he had thrown himself into a period of mories, "I rember living in a small town like this when I was the sa age as i Li and the others. My parents were the bodyguards of a family at that ti, so the family lived quite well. But when I was 12, they died on a mission. I should have been able to get a pension, but it was taken away by the then Commander of the Guards. "
"Swallow?" Alan frowned. If this had happened in Beth Cord, he believed that Hawes would have made the commander regret living in this world.
Glancing at Alan, William shook his head and smiled, "Not all clans are comparable to Beth Cod, especially in so systems, they are terribly rotten." Anyway, I didn't get any money at that ti, and because my parents were dead, I was kicked out of town. It wasn't easy for him to wander all the way to Black Street. I am like a mouse, hiding in the shadows during the day and going out to pick up so leftovers at night. "
"Days didn't change until Black Street. Dad took in. Oh, it was the boss of the old oak tree, a paranoid old man. He took in and so other children. He trained us to grasp Origin Energy and completely changed our destiny."
Wilick extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it to the ground, stepping on it twice. "Do you know that the great n of Babylon let Black Street exist?" That's because they can co to Black Street to entrust us with so matters that they can't handle. Like Vincent, yes, they usually go to Dad Ward. The old man accepted the mission and assigned it to soone like , depending on the difficulty of the mission. "When the mission is completed, he will receive a dividend from us. This is our survival mode."
"As for i Li and the others, they are actually black."
"Black?" Alan thought to himself, it was another new term.
"Even stowaways, every year, every month, there are people smuggled to Babylon by transport airships. These people would first live in Black Street for a period of ti, and then, depending on their abilities, they would flow into Babylon like undercurrents. So of them would beco slaves, all kinds of slaves. Those with better abilities would be expected to work as bodyguards. Either way, they were clearly much better off than they were on the surface. As a result, there is always a steady stream of blacks. Behind this, there were even so clans that were manipulating it. Otherwise, where would there be so many stowaways? "
"But not all stowaways were able to get into Babylon smoothly," Welik said, shaking his head. "lly's parents were caught by the Floating Island Garrison on arrival in Babylon and sent back to the surface. As for i Li and the other children, they took advantage of the chaos to flee in and eventually fell into the Black Street. I tried to take them in, hoping they wouldn't be as miserable as I was when I was young, or at least have a place to sleep. "
"Well, I know it's a little overconfident. But even if I start over, I'll do it again. People always need so faith. It's my faith to keep these children alive."
Ellen nodded. He patted Wilick's shoulder and said, "I can understand that I also have so things that I have to do and accomplish regardless of everything!"
The youth stood up and leaned on the windowsill and said, "I ca to Babylon and saw an incomparably vast world. It's not easy to live in this world, and it's even harder to hold on to our beliefs. We all need strength, enough to hold on to our beliefs. So, William, co with !"
He turned around and smiled warmly, "The future needs to be created by our own hands."
Wilick's heart surged with so inexplicable emotions, both excitent and anticipation. He chuckled and said, "If I didn't want to do it with you, I wouldn't be here, would I, Young Master Allen?"
It was already dusk when they returned to the castle. It seed that there were more flying cars on the castle's public parking plaza because of the weekend. When Alan got out of the car, he saw Kodorf and Raynor. The forr greeted Alan with a smile, while the latter glared at Alan angrily and almost swallowed him up. This reminded Ellen of Adele's evaluation of Rainer. His brother was indeed like a Tyrannosaurus rex, always appearing manic at all tis.
Watching Ellen walk towards his own wing tower, Kodorf smiled and said, "You know what? Reina, this little brother of ours is amazing. He killed Vincent."
"Vincent?" "I can't rember who he is," Reina frowned.
'"Alright, a fellow from the side has so ability. Unfortunately, he is very ambitious and has third-rate thods. He wanted to deal with our Young Master Allen, but he was beheaded by soone in the twilight. He is now a piece of trash." Kodorf rolled his eyes and said, "Reina, don't you care about these things at all?"
Rena snorted and did not reply.
'"I said, should we work together against our little brother? I've heard that he's doing well in the Dawn Blade. If this trend continues, the Council of Elders will definitely consider letting him enter the heir ranks. And I've also heard that he and Hughton will learn about the Magic Cube ranks!" '"If we don't kill him before he enters the core of the clan, he will definitely beco a big problem for you and in the future," Kodorf said in a deep voice.
Reina revealed a thoughtful expression, and Kodorf was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for his answer.
Unexpectedly, a mont later, Reina replied indifferently, "Cordov, I'm going to the Outer Realm battlefield with my father next month."
Kodorf was shocked, "So fast? According to the rules, you can only start next year."
"I won't deal with Alan. That will only make Grandpa look down on ." "That's right, I will go to the Outer Realm ahead of ti. I will tell Grandpa who is most qualified to receive his inheritance," Reina said as he looked at the endless starry sky above his head.
"That won't be Ellen who relied on his grandfather's love to climb up. Similarly, it won't be you who knows how to shake your heart!" "Kodorf, I think you've forgotten who you are. We're blood relatives, and fighting in the Outer Realm is our stage. And you, like those pigs on the side, you've only used dirty tricks and never dared to face your opponent!" Raynor said rcilessly.
"Beth Cod's na has never been obtained through scheming, but from the battlefield!"
