When Willick saw Ugalle Castle, his expression was exactly the same as Allen on that day, and he was shocked by the towering majesty of the castle. Allen patted him on the shoulder, and Willick came back to his senses and blurted out: "Damn, I have the opportunity to see the birthplace of Bethkode in my life, and no one believes it."
"But the facts are in front of you, oh here it is, come with me."
Today is the weekend, and when Magic Speed picked up Allen from the academy, he also took Willick with him. Allen had contacted the butler Hessing first, so when he got out of the car, he met the head of the family.
Mr. Heising nodded to Allen: "Master, what can you do with me?"
Allen pushed Willick forward and asked: "Mr. Heising, does the family still recruit guards? I want to recommend someone. I don't know if I can arrange him to enter the guard establishment?"
Heising looked at Willick, facing this butler who seemed to have no energy at all, for some reason Willick felt very nervous. He brought his legs together, straightened his waist, arched his chest, and let himself be as aggressive as possible.
"He is?"
"A friend has ten levels of strength." Allen said simply.
Hessing nodded and said: "Tenth level is enough for him to be a team leader."
"Just like Barney." The butler added.
Allen asked: "So Will Willick qualified?"
"Qualified is qualified, but master, you don’t know. The family has its own way of recruiting guards, and there is no time to recruit soldiers. The staffing establishment is basically full." Haising said in an euphemistic way: "So you Look, even you can’t squeeze someone in at this time. It’s not compliant."
Willik's face looked disappointed right now, and Allen's original plan was to wed him into the family guard first. In this way, it is not so easy for Josh or Vincent's family to trouble him, but now, Heising lets them know that this road will not work.
Each big family has its own set of rules, and some rules cannot be shaken. Just like Horn, no matter how much he wants to pull Alan into the heir sequence, he can only proceed according to the rules he made. And Allen, obviously, his strength is not strong enough to make these rules change for him.
"But..." Butler Haising suddenly changed his voice: "The wing tower where the young master lives is still lacking a few guards. I originally planned to send some people to the family guard. If the young master wants to, I can use my name. Let this Mr. Willick be the security supervisor. Of course, his salary has to be paid by the young master himself. In addition, with Mr. Willick’s strength, if certain special actions are necessary, I will give priority to him. The salary for the task is different. Of course, Mr. Willick can measure the reward and risk of the task himself, and he has the final say whether to accept it or not."
Allen said happily: "Then do it, thank you Mr. Heising."
Hessing smiled and nodded, and then with his assistance, Allen helped Willick complete the relevant procedures. Therefore, Willick got a set of family guard uniforms and related standard weapons.
The next day, under Barney’s introduction, Willick rented a small two-story building in the small town of Levin to house the children he adopted. Allen also sent a car to bring the children to the town. When the oldest girl among the children, Mei Li, saw their new home, the little girl showed a happy expression on her face. Under the command of Mary, the children cleaned the house, and Allen and Willick also joined the cleaning.
By the afternoon, the house has been cleaned up. Willick paid a sum of money from Allen to buy some daily necessities so that the children could settle down in the small town. Seeing Meili coaxing those five or six year olds to sleep like a big sister, Allen asked: "Why would you take these kids with you?"
Willik was smoking a cigarette, he vomited a ring of smoke silently, and asked instead: "Have you heard of the black street?"
Alan shook his head honestly.
"The black street refers to the street near the old oak tree. People in Babylon call it the cancer of the floating island, and people like us who live in the black street are just **** in people's eyes." Willick looked at it. The small town outside the window, under the shelter of Bethkode, this small town is peaceful and beautiful. Willick’s eyes became far-reaching, and his thoughts seemed to be in a moment of memory: "I remember when I was as old as Mary and the others, I also lived in a small town like this. My parents were from a certain family at that time. The guard, so the family had a pretty good life. But when I was 12 years old, they sacrificed in a mission. I should have received a pension, but I gave it to the guard leader at the time."
"Smuggling?" Alan frowned. If this happened to Bethkod, he believed that Hoth would make the leader regret living in this world.
Looking at Allen, Willick shook his head and smiled: "Not every family can be compared to Bethcoder, especially in some systems, they are terribly decayed. In short, I was a penny at the time. I didn’t get it, and because my parents were dead, I was kicked out of the town. It’s really not easy to live on the black street during that period. I was like a mouse, hiding in the shadows during the day. Come out at night to pick up some leftovers from other people and spend the day."
"The days have changed until the Black Street. Daddy Ward has taken in me, oh, the owner of Old Oak, a paranoid old man. He has taken in me, as well as some other children. He trained us , Let us master the source power and completely changed our destiny."
Willik pressed the cigarette **** out, threw it on the ground and stomped on both feet: "Do you know that the big figures in Babylon allow the black street to exist? That's because they can't get on the countertops and can come to the black street to entrust us Solved. Just like that Vincent, yes, they usually find Daddy Ward. The old man takes over the task and assigns it to someone like me depending on the difficulty of the task. When the task is completed, he will get it from us. When it comes to dividends, this is our survival model."
"As for Meili and them, they are actually black."
"Black people?" Allen thought to himself, another new term.
"Smugglers. Every year and every month, some people smuggle to Babylon through traffic ships. These people will live in the black street for a period of time, and then they will flow into Babylon like an undercurrent according to their ability. Some will become slaves, and there are slaves of all types. Those with better skills are expected to take up jobs such as guards. Regardless of which type, they are obviously better than the surface. Therefore, black people are always It is a steady stream. Behind this, there are even some families manipulating. Otherwise, there are so many stowaways."
Willik shook his head and said: "But not all smugglers can enter Babylon smoothly. Like Meili and their parents, they were caught by the Floating Island Guard when they arrived in Babylon and sent back to the surface. And Mei These children, Li, escaped in the chaos and eventually fell into the black street. I tried to take them in, hoping that they would not be as miserable as I was when I was young. At least, there is a place to sleep."
"Well, I know it's a bit overwhelming. But even if I do it again, I will do it. People always need some faith. It is my faith to keep these children alive."
Alan nodded, he patted Willick on the shoulder and said: "I can understand that I also have to do something desperate to accomplish!"
The boy stood up, leaned on the window sill and said: "When I came to Babylon, I saw a vast world. It is not easy to live in this world. It is even harder to stick to our beliefs. We all need strength. , A strength enough to support us to stick to our beliefs. So Willick, let’s do it with me!"
He turned his head and showed a warm smile: "In the future, we always need to create it ourselves."
Some inexplicable emotions surged in Willick's heart, both excited and expectant. He smiled and said, "If I don't want to **** with you, I won't be here. Isn't it, Master Ellen."
Back to the castle is already at dusk. It seems that because of the weekend, there are obviously more speeding cars on the public parking lot of the castle. When Allen got out of the car, he saw Kodoff and Renner. The former greeted Allen with a grin, while the latter glared at Allen, and almost ran over and swallowed him. This reminded Allen of Adele's evaluation of Renner. His brother was like a tyrannosaurus, always looking manic at all times.
Watching Allen walk towards his own wing tower, Kodoff said with a smile: "You know? Reina, our little brother is incredible. He killed Vincent."
"Vincent?" Rainer frowned: "I can't remember who it was."
"Well, a collateral guy with a little skill. Unfortunately, he is very ambitious and has a third-rate approach. I wanted to level our Master Ellen, but he was killed by the family in the twilight. Now he has become a man. Waste." Kodov rolled his eyes and said, "Reina, you don't care about these things at all?"
Reyna snorted and didn't answer.
"I said, should we join forces to deal with our little brother. I have heard that his performance in Dawn's Blade is pretty good. According to this trend, the Council of Elders will definitely consider letting him in Heir sequence. And I also heard that he will learn the knowledge of Rubik's Cube sequence with Hughton!" Kodov said solemnly: "If you don't kill him before he enters the family core, he will definitely become your heart in the future. Great trouble!"
Reina showed a thoughtful expression, and Kodov was not in a hurry, waiting quietly for his answer.
Unexpectedly, a moment later, Renner responded to what was wrong and said: "Kordoff, next month I will go to the Outland Battlefield with my father."
Kudov was taken aback: "So fast? According to the regulations, you can only go out next year."
"I won't deal with Ellen. That would only make Grandpa look down on me." Renner looked at the endless starry sky above his head: "Yes, I will go to Outland in advance. I will tell Grandpa, who He is the person most qualified to receive his inheritance."
"It won't be Ellen who climbs up with grandpa's love, and it won't be you who will be scheming at all!" Rainer said ruthlessly, "Kodoff, I I think you have forgotten your identity. We are direct blood relatives, and the battle in the Outland is our stage. And you, you are like those collateral pigs, you can only use some dirty methods, and never dare to face yourself. Opponent!"
"Beskard's name was never obtained by scheming, but from the battlefield!"
