After Duke left, the deck fell into silence, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Allen was the first to break the silence and said to the senior sister beside him:
"Duke is different from me. He comes from a noble family, so he is inevitably arrogant."
"Senior Brother Marvin is asking Duke for a spot. It seems... inappropriate, right?"
Marvin heard his question and turned around and sneered.
"Junior Brother Allen, it seems that you were also tricked by that bluffing white-haired boy."
"What kind of family does he come from? Even compared to you, who comes from a small shopkeeper's family, he belongs to a lower class!"
With disdain on his face, Marvin revealed Duke's true origin in front of Allen and Tanya.
"Duke's father is a charlatan who sells counterfeit medicines on the streets, and his mother, haha, is a street girl!"
"This is what he boasted about being 'born in a noble family' and 'indescribably valuable'."
"Junior Brother Allen, after learning the truth, do you also think that Duke is hypocritical and ridiculous?"
Allen's face remained calm, but his heart was shaken!
It is impossible and unnecessary for Marvin to lie on this issue.
In order to successfully obtain the quota to enter the secret realm, Marvin must have investigated Duke's origins in advance.
Just like investigating the origin of Alan Panthers.
Make sure they don't have a powerful background, so that they can use threats, inducements, and various manipulations.
Since Marvin is so sure, Duke must have lied about his background!
Allen recalls the details of his contact with Duke.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this person is extremely audacious and has an incredible psychological quality!
This Duke, from the first time we met on the ship, has been the most pretentious among all the apprentices.
He always hints that he has an extraordinary background and is indescribably valuable.
His white dragon bloodline does give him the qualification to show off.
So that no one doubts that this guy is actually bragging.
After entering the Warlock Academy, Duke remained the same, always acting like a noble son of a noble family.
Not only Allen, but also Felin and Angel, classmates in the college, and even tutors were really fooled by him.
I have always regarded him as a member of an aristocratic family.
It wasn’t until I heard Ma Wen’s revelation that I realized I had been deceived.
Duke lied about his background to satisfy his vanity.
In Allen's view, it's not really a big problem.
Which young man can completely overcome vanity?
The problem is that Duke’s pretense is too big and he can’t hold it back!
If you brag in front of your friends and pretend to be rich, after being exposed, you will at most be ridiculed and lose face.
However, Duke was not honest when he entered the Warlock Academy. He continued to forge his background, cheat, and benefit from his fake noble background.
This is of a serious nature!
The Warlock Academy is the private residence of aristocratic families, and the most important thing is family background.
It's easy to talk about other things, but you can't be tricky about this matter.
Duke, made a big mistake!
Allen had to worry that this kid would soon pay a heavy price for his pretense and vanity.
Do you want to say a few nice words to Duke in front of Marvin?
This idea lingered in Allen's mind for a while and then dissipated.
If Angel or Felin were in trouble, Allen would do his best to help.
But Duke?
Sorry, our friendship hasn't reached that level yet.
Allen has never been a kind person with a holy heart.
His friendship and favor are not that cheap either.
Duke himself chose the path of opportunism, and thus received preferential treatment in the past that he should not have enjoyed.
Now that it's time to settle the general ledger, all I can say is...wish yourself the best of luck.
……
Return to the academy.
Before Angel entered the secret realm, he came to find Allen and returned the storage bag to him.
"Do you know what's here?" Allen shook the storage bag and asked Angel.
"I don't know."
"I really don't know?"
"Liar!"
It’s really strange that Angel can also play pranks and wink at Allen playfully.
"Actually, I opened it secretly and read it!"
Since the conflict with Andy, Allen exchanged storage bags with Angel.
Alan asked Angel to hold his storage bag and help him keep something.
Just in case you are forced to search your body, someone is caught and the stolen goods are obtained.
"In addition, I put something in your storage bag to thank you for taking care of you on Magic Stone Island." Angel said.
"Oh? What is it?" Allen asked curiously.
"Don't look at it now..." Angel smiled mysteriously, "It's not good if you go back to the dormitory and open it again so that no one knows about it."
"You still want to give me a surprise?"
"Hmm!"
"Then I have to treat you to a big meal."
"Okay!"
"You eat too little, that's why you are so thin." Allen touched his head and said pitifully.
"My belly is small and I can't fit it in."
Angel smiled sheepishly.
"But it doesn't matter. I like to watch you eat. It makes me feel that I have a good appetite and am satisfied."
……
Alan treated Angel to a sumptuous lunch.
Angel was full after just two bites of each dish.
It eats a small amount like a cat.
So this meal is just like always...
Mainly because Allen ate and drank a lot himself.
Angel was watching from across the dining table.
He is really a good viewer who likes to watch "eokbang".
I watched it with gusto, and even fed Alan from time to time...
It seems that watching him eat and drink makes you enjoy the happiness brought by the food more than tasting it yourself.
After lunch, Allen said goodbye to Angel.
Return to the martial arts dormitory and lock the door.
Open the storage bag and count the gains from the trip to Magic Stone Island.
First take out two large bags of non-attribute magic stones.
Nearly 200 yuan in total.
The loot from hunting Plague Warlock Moss and Rhett.
Allen fumbled in his storage bag and took out a pill box.
The carton contains a blood blending reagent.
And Angel’s handwritten instruction manual.
Inject the reagent, and if nothing happens, you will automatically master the "Level 2 Meditation Secret Technique".
This is the thank you gift Angel gave him...
Allen sighed.
This gift is too valuable.
Angel is about to enter the secret realm of time and practice for four years, which is equivalent to one year in real time.
Across a secret realm barrier, Allen sent him a message to thank him, but he didn't know if he could receive it.
Finally, Allen took out the bone sculpture of the Plague God from the storage bag.
This is the key item he asked Angel to keep.
Ever since he learned the value of the Plague God Statue, he realized that he had fallen into the dilemma of "conceiving a jade for its own sake".
Therefore, prepare for the worst in advance.
For example, being forced to search by Pamela, Andy or animal worshipers.
After giving the statue of the plague to Angel, he dared to say to Moss and Andy with a clear conscience:
"The evil statue is really not in my hands!"
Jesus is here, Buddha is here, and he dares to say this!
Andy and Moss, both dead.
Now, Allen has temporarily overcome the crisis and can enjoy this trophy with confidence.
