"Hey, the food in the college restaurant is unpalatable, can something like this be called steak!"
Adele is angrily stirring the black pepper sauce on the steak with a silver fork, her eyebrows are almost twisted together, she is venting her dissatisfaction with the food. Ellen, who was sitting opposite her, had no trouble in this regard. He accurately cut the steak into pieces of meat/grain with a knife, and then delivered them to his mouth at a nearly constant speed. Adele put down the knife and fork, crossed her chin with her fingers, and looked at Alan who was eating with gusto, and said, "I really don’t know how you got it. It’s obvious that their steak is so unpalatable. The cooking level of Ugalle Castle is about the same as here, it is really a disaster."
Alan wiped out another piece of beef and shook his head: "If you live on the ground for ten years, you will be like me. You don’t care about the heat or deliciousness of the food at all. On the surface, you can have something to eat. It’s already pretty good."
Picking up a donut to serve as a side meal, Alan shook his voice and said: "For things like this, you will only use them as decoration or foil. After eating this meal, they will be thrown away. , Or flow to the surface through other channels. And my mother spends a lot of her savings every year for the food that mai falls to the ground from Babylon, because they are hardly contaminated. To me, a piece of sweet Donuts are the full definition of happiness!"
Put the donut in his mouth, and Allen eats it at a slow speed. When the bread is grated through the chewing of the gums, the smell of wheat seems to bring time back to the past.
But everything can't go back!
There was a voice that said, Allen's heart ached, and his attention returned to this moment. Seeing it, Adele was cutting a piece of beef and putting it in her mouth. Allen shook her head and said: "Our growth environment is different. If you really can't eat it, don't force it."
Adele shook her head and said: "It's none of your business, even Aunt Lanni can eat something, there is no reason I can't do it. This is... Aunt Jing Lanni!"
She put a piece of beef into her mouth and bit down hard.
The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Except for Adele who complained that the beef was too old from time to time, so that her teeth were sore, the meal was good. After dinner, Adele led Allen towards the gate of the college.
"Where are we going?" Allen asked.
Adele blinked and said: "My sister will take you to (open) (open) your horizons."
"To tell the truth." Allen said in a bad mood.
Adele showed a pitiful face and said: "Okay, okay, it's like this. Tonight, there will be a gladiatorial match at the Venus Hotel. There are no restrictions. The guests can enter the venue at will. Bet/bet, there is no capping. How about it, do you want to see it, you can't see this kind of gladiatorial match all the time."
Allen frowned and said: "I thought this **** fighting would only be held in the dark street."
"Of course, it is impossible to publicize, after all, it is against the Federal Constitution, so it is only limited to a limited circle. The amount of bets/bets will not be too small, as long as you win a bet, it will be enough for me. Year’s spending. I think your luck has been so good recently, so I got two admission tickets from that guy in Leon. Just now someone ate with you a meal, do you have to be my bodyguard for one night for free, sister, I’m With a huge amount of money!"
Allen asked casually: "How much did you bring?"
Adele whispered in his ear: "Ten million, all the assets I can use are here."
"So much!" Allen was really taken aback. He had recently gotten millions from Leon, and he already felt a little dreaming. Seeing Adele running around carrying tens of millions of dollars, she suddenly felt a little stranger.
"It's not much. It's mainly a small amount of money earned by investing in some guy before." Adele smiled with her eyebrows curled up, and that person was naturally Alan in front of her.
"Let's go, let's hear that Venus also invited soul singers to sing tonight. He is a newly-rising superstar, and he missed it when he was late." Adele dragged Alan. Brought out the academy.
Outside the gate of the college, a speeding car with the logo of the Mosen family has been waiting for a long time. Allen was so angry that the girl made it clear that she had planned it early in the morning. After the two got into the car, the speeding car started and drove them to the Venus Hotel.
Driving in the busy city of Babylon, the buildings on both sides of the highway are brightly lit, and neon lights of various colors are shining with blurred colors. The well-dressed people, the endless traffic, the towering buildings and the colorful lights all tell the prosperity of Babylon. The floating island and the surface are like two worlds, one is heaven and the other is hell.
"You know, Babylon had another name when it (started)." Adele said suddenly.
Alan turned his gaze back from the bustling city outside the window, and fell on Adele, waiting for the following.
"The Ark..." Adele whispered: "It carries the original beautiful vision. It was built to keep people away from the radiant ground. It is an Ark that leads people away from disasters. It is a pity, human beings. This kind of creature, when too many people get together, will produce power. And power always serves a few people. Therefore, those in power back then, in the name of overpopulation, drove a large number of people off the ark. After monopolizing the floating island, it was renamed Babylon...the sky garden of the gods."
"This is the origin of the contradiction between the floating island and the surface?" Allen asked.
Adele nodded and said, "Resentment will spread, and the change of times will not erase the initial resentment. As time goes by, this resentment adds other ingredients, so it changes. It is even bigger. One day, it will explode in an all-round way. At that time...maybe there will be civil war?"
"That's really bad."
"It's really bad, but these problems will make the big people headaches." Adele gently waved her fist as if she was about to drive (open) something.
The Federal Civil War, this is a problem that no one wants to mention, but its hidden dangers are substantial. After all, it involves the interests of the federal government and the wealthy and aristocrats. In this regard, they will never compromise, they will only make symbolic concessions. But for people at a low level, it is not enough to make concessions. Unless they are exposed to the core of their interests, the contradictions will not be resolved, and resentment will be difficult to quell.
And this is the crux of the matter.
Alan comes from the surface and has lived on Babylon for nearly two years. He can understand the huge difference between these two worlds more than anyone else. But as Adele said, power always belongs to a small group of people, and so is the interest. No wealthy family would be willing to divide their assets equally among the people on the surface, so the contradiction will only intensify day by day.
In the event of a civil war, the children of the family like Allen will take it upon themselves to protect their family. But those who the sword is against are people who fight for their own reasonable rights. In such a war, who is right and who is wrong, and who can make it clear.
In contrast, the expedition to Outland is much simpler.
The colonial invasion is nothing more than two endings. One is that the winner is king, controlling the entire colonial star and turning it into one of the chain of interests, continuously providing resources and huge profits for themselves and for the family. The second is that the invasion failed, was killed by the planet's natives, and lost their souls.
Either way, it is much simpler than standing in the federal civil war.
Allen remembered the first lesson of basic warfare that day, the tutor Professor Randolph once said: "War is never just!"
Venus Hotel is here.
The speeding car entered the underground parking lot. In the carriage, Adele rubbed her hand and said: "My sister must kill the Quartet tonight, and win it all, or I won't leave tonight!"
Allen laughed and said: "I can't tell, you are still a gambler."
"Small gambling to be happy."
"It's a small bet with ten million..." Allen shook his head, and at this moment, the speeding car stopped. The two were about to get out of the car when suddenly a bright light came on behind the car. Allen squinted his eyes and saw the outline of a speeding car approaching them in the light.
The crisis is suddenly born!
"Be careful, get out of the car." Allen yelled.
The two hurriedly opened (opened) the car door and rushed out of the car almost at the same time. Before landing, I heard a heavy impact behind me, followed by the sound of cracking and shattering of the car window glass. Allen rolled on the spot, then bounced off the ground, and saw a speeding car almost shoveling into the rear of Adele's seat frame. As for the driver in the front driver's seat, he was already lying on the steering wheel, and he didn't know his life or death.
The sound of the wind abruptly. Two men in black suddenly rushed down from the car that caused the accident and attacked Allen. Both of them showed their marks, obviously with the level of eleventh and second-level.
In some spare time, Allen glanced at Adele and saw four people rushing towards the girl. Obviously, this killing game was arranged for Adele. If it was directed at Allen, then he should have sent a pair of four people right now. Who was so courageous that he dared to attack the young lady of the Mawson family. You know, Adele is a direct blood relative of the Mosen family!
Time didn't allow Alan to think about it. Because Adele's invitation came suddenly, Alan didn't bring her fangs. Up and down the whole body, only the devil's praise behind the waist is available. Alan drew out the dagger/knife without hesitation, and with a thought, the gems on the handle of the dagger/knife were radiant. The dagger/head was immediately elongated, and a scarlet color was painted all over the blade. With the formation of that pitch black pattern, it immediately completed the change of the first-order form of the blood hymn.
Allen was holding a blood-red knives, and suddenly rammed into the two men in black. Suddenly a group of fragments of red light erupted from his arms, and the two men in black exclaimed in unison. Even before the ability to activate, Alan was injured by the spark of a firework-like sword, and the left and right middle knives fell (opened)!
On the other side, the battle between Adele and the four men in black has reached the point where a life and death sentence is reached. The eldest lady of the Morsen family is proficient in long-range sniper killing, but her close combat skills are really average. The four men in black each held a short knife, and they formed their own rules between advance and retreat, and they were proficient in joint combat. With just a few breaths, Adele has been hit in many places, but fortunately, she is still calm enough to change her injury in a critical juncture, until now.
Seeing that it is about to reach the limit, Adele's eyes are happy when the sword is violent.
Allen kills!
