262. 'The Living of King Arthur'(1/2)
Professor Hwendelenger quits his job at Allen University.
Surprisingly, this incident did not cause a huge uproar. For some reason, it seemed that no matter whether those who hated him or those who liked him, they did not react too much to the news.
Except for a few people, everyone paid no attention to Hevin's departure. He left Allen University quietly, just as he came.
People who really knew Hevin had known about his departure long before he resigned.
The only person who doesn't know about this but cares about Hevin's movements is Detective Elwood.
He had always wanted to know more about Hwendrenger, but it seemed that he had no chance.
Investor Hevind Lenger is about to leave for Wharton, the capital of England.
Wharton was not as deeply affected by the Primeval Fire as Firth, nor was there a large number of scientists and researchers in Aaron City, who had such an optimistic and tolerant attitude toward technology and advancement.
Wharton is like an aristocratic lady wearing a veil, with traces of the old times on her body, but at the same time, like a young person, she is also full of curiosity about new things.
The parliamentary system and the Knights make this city destined to be unable to produce too advanced ideas, but the citizens and the ruling class will not reject the power and convenience brought by technology, but no one will think about the essence behind these things like Aaron.
.
Because they need Wharton to remain old and ancient.
This is where King Arthur slept.
When Garrett died and all the information about Hola in the Forerunner Research Institute was destroyed, there was no need for Aaron City to let Hevin miss him.
And Wharton has old friends waiting for him.
Hewen was organizing the ceremony and packing all the souvenirs into two large suitcases.
A pocket watch with a stickman logo, a statue of Fenrir, a branch...
It's still some time before the train arrives at the station, but all the people seeing him off have already arrived.
Kelly asked with concern:
"Professor Hewen, what are you going to do when you arrive in Wharton?"
Hewen smiled and said:
"What do I need to do? I have been retired for many years. I bought two manors, read newspapers, drink tea, and attend banquets every day, right?"
Iona said in surprise:
"Mansions in Wharton are very expensive."
Hewen said:
"Didn't I say that I am very rich?"
Iona said:
"But I heard that the banquets in Wharton City are all held by members of the upper class, and they not only care about money, but also pay more attention to status..."
Hewen said:
"That's because you're not rich enough. If you were rich enough, you wouldn't have this problem."
Iona said:
"I heard that many wealthy businessmen from other places thought the same way before going to Wharton."
Hewen continued to tease Iona:
"Do you know how much money I have?"
Iona paused:
"One hundred, no, ten million pounds?"
Hewen shook his head:
"More."
Kelly interjected and asked:
"One hundred million?"
Hewen smiled:
"A little more?"
Veronica said:
"One billion."
Hewen shook his head.
Kelly said:
"Professor Hewen, please stop teasing us and tell us directly."
Hevin shrugged:
"Actually, I don't know the exact number, but it must be more than 10 billion."
Kelly's eyes lit up:
"many"
Iona pinched her friend’s cheek:
"Isn't this just a lot! Shouldn't we rush to hug Professor Hewen's thigh now and beg him to leak some money from his fingers to give us? Also, Professor Hewen, how can someone not know the specific number of his property, even if
There are some omissions, but the general scope should be clear.”
Hewen said something of unknown meaning:
"Nine days become nine."
Kelly continued to ask:
"Where's Hara?"
A blond girl about fifteen years old emerged from Hewen's body.
Veronica said in surprise:
"Professor, who is she?"
Kelly guessed:
"Holla?"
Hora explained:
"The instinctively deformed appearance of our race only depends on psychological age. If calculated by biological age, I am actually older than Professor Grant."
Iona said blankly:
"so beautiful."
After the girl with a flawless appearance grew her hair, Iona was ashamed of herself.
The orange light shone through the glass on the girl, making her look like a beautiful goddess walking out of a golden palace.
The girly version of the goddess.
Ha La smiled:
"Thank you sister Iona. In fact, I grew up when my previous father died."
Leigh didn't see Garrett die.
So she said calmly:
"terribly sorry……"
Ha La smiled and showed two small canine teeth as white as snow:
"It's okay, I bit his throat."
Lei stopped talking.
Hewen said:
"Actually, I have always wanted Ha La to go to school. She is also very curious about the lives of ordinary people. In the past, because someone was chasing her, she had no chance to leave my side. Now she can finally meet other humans."
Kelly asked:
"Actually, Ha La can study at Aaron High School..."
Hewen shook his head:
"A big event may happen in Wharton recently, something that will shock the entire continent. Although I may not necessarily participate in the development of this matter, I must be there to witness it happening."
Hewen reminded by the way:
"If there is no reason to go, before that thing happens, you'd better stay away from Wharton. Of course, except for Kelly, if Merlin doesn't come back, basically no one can catch her."
Iona suddenly said:
"Wait, Professor Hewen means that Merlin is a real person and he is still alive?"
