Edge of the Apocalypse Chapter 55: Turning point

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!

Every family that can enter the top society has passed the test of time. These families can be traced back at least a hundred years, and the old nobles like Beskode have a glorious history of more than two hundred years. These old aristocrats are the mid-stream of the Federation, and often such families are behemoths.

In their genealogy, the relationship is complicated, just like those prosperous ancient trees, whose roots must spread for an unknown number of meters underground. Beskode is no exception, and like many families, it usually divides many family members into direct blood relatives and off-branches.

In order to ensure the prosperity of the family, usually the position of patriarch will only be produced in direct blood relatives. Of course, in certain turbulent times, there are also examples of off-branches seizing the position of patriarch. But that is a very small minority after all, and even if it succeeds in winning the throne, that family will definitely suffer a lot of vitality. After all, most of the family's power and wealth are in the hands of direct blood relatives.

Just like a swarm of bees, in a huge family system, the direct and side branches also have a division of labor. After the War of Dawn, this division of labor became more apparent. Generally speaking, some relatively mild tasks in the family business are handed over to the offshoot tribes. They will be responsible for most of the family's business dealings, just like the worker bees in a swarm, accumulating wealth for the family.

The immediate blood relatives have to shoulder the responsibility of opening up the family business and expedition to the foreign battlefield. They have to lay more colonial stars for the family, and establish a safe and stable business route between these colonized planets and the earth, so that the family can benefit from it. To put it simply, the duty of the side branch family is to be responsible for the business operation of the family, while the direct blood relatives have to find more sources of wealth for the family.

In this mode, in fact, the chance of death of direct blood relatives is relatively much higher. However, every direct child who can stand a firm foothold in the battlefield of the Outland, is a hero of one party, and its position in the family system is also difficult to shake. Because in the final analysis, their merits are played out, they are the real strength faction!

Vinson’s family is a sideline of Beskod, and his family takes care of the operation of more than two commercial chains on the surface for Beskod. In order to stand out from the other tribes, Vincent’s father spared no expense to send his son to the Dawn Blade Academy, which was exclusively for the children of the family in Babylon. Vincent did not live up to his father's expectations and achieved excellent results in the college.

The evaluation of the younger generation comes from many aspects. Among them, the grade of the Dawn Blade Academy is one of the important assessments. If Vincent can graduate successfully, then a position of foreign affairs director should not be able to escape. Although it is completely incomparable with the direct children in terms of the resources to obtain family funding, in the side branch, the foreign affairs director is also a hot position.

Being able to achieve the current achievements, in addition to the arrogance and arrogance shared by the children of the family, does not prevent Vincent from also having a clever and flexible mind. So after listening to Kodov's words, he was immediately moved. He frowned and said, "You mean, Chief Horne intends to train this kid named Allen into a certain important position? How is this possible, he is just a pariah!"

"Have you seen Ellen's appearance?" Kodoff asked suddenly.

Vincent smiled contemptuously: "How can I care about what a pariah looks like?"

"As far as I know, his appearance is somewhat similar to that of an aunt of mine." Kodov said slowly: "I heard from my father that my grandfather loved their youngest sister, Aunt Lanni the most. Ten years ago, Aunt Lanni suddenly ran away and left the family. Since then, there has been no news. Grandpa regrets it painfully."

Speaking of which, Kodov closed his mouth, he had given enough tips.

Sure enough, Vincent lost his voice: "So when he saw Alan's appearance, the patriarch was touched by the scene and planned to introduce him into the family to make up for the loss of his daughter?"

"Do you think it's impossible? Even if that Ellen is not our direct child, with his face, who can guarantee that Grandpa will not train him as the first of the other children?" He patted Vincent on the shoulder and said: "I think you have worked hard for the past two years. It would be a shame if you fell into the position of head of foreign affairs just because of someone's face."

Vinson nodded vigorously, even with a trace of hideousness on his face: "Thank you for your reminder. I will not forget my cousin Kodov's support."

"It's nothing, I'll just say a few words casually. Okay, I have to go shopping elsewhere. These two beauties are hard to deal with." Cordov laughed, stood up, and gestured. , Put his arms around the two hot girls and walked out of the deck.

Vincent sat in the deck for a while before he walked out. Other companions invited him to drink, but he shook his head, and hurriedly left when something happened, leaving a few boys with big eyes and small eyes. Finally, I don’t know who shouted: "Vincent is gone, who will pay the bill tonight?"

So the teenagers began to struggle with new problems.

Watching Vincent lower his head into his seat frame and quickly leave the twilight, Kodoff smiled slightly. He was also sitting in an extended Magic Speed ​​car, with two **** women kissing his cheek and helix. But Kodoff didn't seem to feel it. A fifty-something old man with a beard and sharp eyes sat opposite him and said, "Master, just to test the Alan's words, just leave it to me. Why bother to let Vincent do it."

"Mr. Robert, you should know that he was the one invited by Grandpa. This shows that for whatever reason, Grandpa attaches great importance to this kid. So like this thankless thing, it’s better not to have anything to do with us. , Let Vincent do it for you.” Kodov finally had a reaction, reaching out into one of the women’s chest, clasping the plump semicircle and laughing: “We just need to watch the show, there’s no need to mess with it. , Isn't it?"

Again: "Drive, these two little female cats can't wait."

The two women giggled, and one of them had already panted slightly and squatted to Kodoff's feet, and began a fierce offensive. The old man named Robert had cold eyes, as if he hadn't seen the intense peachy scene in the car at all.

When Allen woke up, he found that it was already dawn. His face was sticky, he wiped it off and it was sweat stains, but the sweat was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Looking around, Tonisf and the other soldiers who were reveling in Dadan last night were still sleeping. They occupied the tables and sofas in all directions, and some even slept on the ground holding wine bottles.

Thinking of the war song they sang last night, and looking at these straightforward soldiers, Allen suddenly felt that not everyone in Babylon wears false masks.

"This is a troublesome guy."

There was a sound coming from the direction of the bar, where a few small lights were on, illuminating only one end of the bar. Under the light, a burly, but well-dressed old man was wiping the bar. He lowered his head and said, "But I like them. When I see these bastards, I think of myself when I was young. I'm sorry to let you listen to a bunch of old people's complaints. My name is Yuki, and I have known the old fellow Hutton for a long time. . I heard that he coached you?"

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Hughton's guidance, otherwise, I am afraid I can't stand here." Allen stood up and said, somewhat disappointed: "He also said that he can find him if he is interested in the future. I learned the design of Rubik's Cube sequence, but I didn't see him after the game."

"He came last night, while you were asleep. In fact..." Yuki took out a note from his pocket: "This is the address he gave you. It makes you want to learn those **** knowledge. Go find him when time. Oh, he also said that you have to bring a good wine when you go, otherwise he won't open the door, this **** old drunkard!"

Allen took the note from Yuki. It turned out to be a line of address. He looked at the old man and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Yuki."

"You're welcome, just remember to come and join you when you have time." Yuki looked outside the door and murmured, "It should be almost done."

"What's the same?"

"The one who came to pick you up should be almost there." Yuki puts down a shiny glass: "On Babylon, there is nothing Bethkod doesn't know about."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bar was pushed open, and the butler Heising walked in and looked at Allen and said, "Little master, please go with me, the master asked me to pick you up." /

"But I..."

"It doesn't matter, I have already packed your things for you, so I don't need to go back to the training center." Haixin said carefully.

Allen said, "Okay, then."

Said Yuki again: "Please say goodbye to Tonisf for me, and I will find him when I have time."

"It must be brought here."

Alan and Heising walked out of the bar, and a speeding car with Beskode's family crest was parked on the street in front of the bar. The main body of this family's coat of arms is a shield with a lion-shaped eagle-headed beast pattern painted on the shield, and a symmetrical long sword pattern is extended around it. The colors are mainly black and yellow, which are very eye-catching.

This badge is the emblem of the Beskard patriarch. The badges of other races have been extended and changed based on this, but there are some things that are not allowed to be used. For example, the lion-body eagle-headed beast, and the logo that only the chief of the long sword can use.

When Allen's name is included in the heir sequence, he will also have his own badge, which is a status symbol and a business card for social interaction among the nobles. Of course, for Allen at this time, he still has nothing in Beth Cordery.

Getting on the Magic Speed ​​car, Allen watched the car drive away from Golden Wing Avenue and headed east. Gradually, the buildings on both sides of the road began to disappear, being replaced by rolling mountains and green trees. The sun is rising from the east, and the brilliant sun is like a gift from God, bathing the entire Babylon in a golden light.

A new day has arrived, and Allen will usher in the most important turning point in his life.
