Inside the private garden of the Debs clan, Alice and Kalan sat together and discussed the question of marriage.
"Alice. "The face of Kalan smiled. “I talked about this with my dad. Our engagement ceremony will be held on June 18th, and our actual wedding ceremony will be held on January 1st of the following year. That is, it will be the day of the Yulan Festival next year. ”
A slight smile appeared on Alice's face as well.
“Next year, next year will be the year 10,000 of the Yulan calendar, right? For us to hold our wedding at the 10000 Yulan Festival of the Yulan calendar, it would be. "The more he spoke, the happier he felt. Alice also began to shine.
Seeing Alice smiling happily, Kalan felt very satisfied.
“Alice, hurry up and talk about this with your father, then prepare a guest list from your family for me so I can arrange it as soon as possible. "Kalan urgently.
"Good . "Alice nodded slightly.
Kalan gently stroked Alice's soft hair, filling her heart.
But when he thought about the terrible condition of his clan, Kalan's heart started to panic. Not long after she and Alice began their relationship, the Debs clan suffered a painful blow like they had never experienced before. Conglomerate Dawson has cut them off!
The success and glory of the current Debs clan is closely tied to their relationship with the Dawson Conglomerate.
But then, last December, the Dawson Conglomerate publicly announced the dissolution of their business relationship with the Debs clan. Moreover, they also reached out to every business guild and trading clan in Fenlai City and informed them that they were looking for someone to replace the Debs clan in the previous position.
Other than that …
The actions of the Dawson Conglomerate are not just limited to that. The Dawson conglomerate even began to suppress the business activities of the Debs clan, causing every business operated by the Debs clan to suffer losses.
"Why is the Dawson Conglomerate suppressing my clan like this? The Debs did not offend the Dawson Conglomerate. “Kalan felt very irritated. As the heir and successor of the next clan, Kalan was naturally very concerned about this affair.
And since this problem occurred as soon as Kalan and Alice began their relationship, there are some clan members who now believe that Alice is the bearer of disastrous bad luck.
Otherwise, why would the Dawson Conglomerate, who had been working with them for so many years, suddenly turn them on?
Fortunately, over the years, the Debs clan had managed to amass great wealth. Although their losses were great, the foundation of the Debs clan was still intact. But the Debs clan leader is aware that, for reasons that are unclear, the Dawson Conglomerate is now pressuring their business. This caused the Debs clan to lose all hope on the 'business' side of their activities.
After all, no one would want to offend the giant giant that was the Dawson Conglomerate.
Thus, the only choice of the Debs clan was to embark on another particular route.
Shaking his head and putting these thoughts aside, Kalan laughed as he looked at Alice. "Alice, I heard that yesterday, the Proulx Gallery began to show off a very remarkable work of art. Supposedly, it was at the Grandmaster level. Many people went there to see it. Do you want to go with me? "
Alice was bored as well. "Good . ”
… .
Kalan and Alice ride the train to the Proulx Gallery.
“This statue is said to be very extraordinary. These past few days, I've been so busy arranging our engagement and wedding that I haven't had a chance to take you to check it out. "Kalan was the first to jump off the carriage, and then, in a very polite way, helped Alice as well.
Side by side, Alice and Kalan walked towards the Proulx Gallery.
"Sister Kalan, look at all those people!" Alice's eyes shone as she pointed.
Deep inside the Proulx Gallery, in the hall of the masters, there was a sea of people. But within the hall of the masters, everything was very orderly, going in from one door and out from the other. Everyone was only allowed about three minutes of watch time.
After three minutes, the people who were currently in the master hall were forced to leave. If they want to see her again….
Alrighty! Come back and queue again!
“Long line. “Kalan felt rather amazed as well. For many years, he had never seen the Proulx Gallery that was crowded with people before.
Kalan and Alice were both obediently lined up and waited for almost twenty minutes. It was then their group's turn to go and enter the hall of the lords. In one large group, they were escorted to the hall of the masters. Soon, they all headed forward.
Curious, Kalan and Alice naturally rushed forward as well.
But just then when Alice first saw the statue, she froze as if she had been struck by lightning. Standing there, he stared foolishly at the huge statue. The five figures of the beautiful and well-carved woman, each carried their own aura.
Others are engrossed in thinking about the hidden meanings in this 'Resurrection From Dreams.
But when Alice saw this gigantic statue, her mind could not help but start to replay the memories of every event she had previously experienced with Linley.
The first time, just as he was desperate, Linley had descended like a god from heaven.
On the balcony, the two of them hid in the corners and chatted all night.
…
One scene after another was playing out in his mind. Alice was really shocked. He really had no idea that this famous Grandmaster-level statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', made it a subject.
"Cin …. Linley ... "Alice's current emotions are very complicated.
He stared at the introductory text on the side.
"The sculptor is named 'Linley'. This year, he was seventeen years old, a graduate of the Ernst Institute, and a seventeen-year-old two-element magus of the seventh rank. In this age and age, he was, without a doubt, the number one magus genius in the entire Yulan continent, and even if we look at the history of the Yulan continent as a whole, he said, he is still the second genus of magus in all of history. ”
"But Linley wasn't just a magus genius. In the field of sculpture, he has also made outstanding achievements. Although only seventeen, this statue of her, 'Awakening From the Dream'…. ”
"It's Linley. It's Linley. "Alice looked at the plaque in disbelief. “Magus two elements of the seventh rank? He was already a magus of the seventh rank? But ... but last year, he was only a magus of the fifth rank. ”
Alice had no idea that before they broke up, Linley had become a magus of the sixth rank. Just ... Linley was never given a chance to tell him.
“Rise From Dreams. This statue is called, 'Awakening From the Dream'. "G gazing at the five female figures on the statue, especially the latter with a hint of callous aura, Alice suddenly understood the real reason why Linley had given this statue its name, 'Awakening From the Dream. '
"The dreamer ... has awakened?" Alice felt her mind in complete disarray.
As the first man ever to be truly cared for, in the depths of Alice's heart, there was always a special place reserved for Linley. But when he discovered that Linley had given this statue its name, 'Awakening From the Dream', he suddenly felt as if something was missing from his heart.
That kind of feeling .. is very difficult to resist.
Alice suddenly realized that at her side, Kalan's fist was tied, and a very unpleasant expression was on her face. His veins bulged out, and his face was extremely gloomy. His eyes lit up with a dark light as he stared at the deathly gaze on this statue.
"Sister Kalan!" Worried, Alice called out to him.
But Kalan didn't care.
"Linley, you .. you go too far. “Kalan was filled with boundless and fiery anger. In the past, Kalan was somewhat inclined towards Linley. But in the depths of his heart, Kalan somewhat looked down on Linley. As far as Kalan was concerned, no matter how hard Linley worked, he would never be able to match the Kalan clan.
After all, his clan was connected to the great war machine that was the Dawson Conglomerate.
But in what, only five months?
His Debs clan had been abandoned by the Dawson Conglomerate. And Linley? Out of nowhere, he became a magus of two seventeen-year-old elements of the seventh rank. Moreover, he was recognized as the number one magus genius in this era.
Even in the long history of the Yulan continent, there was only one person who was slightly better than Linley.
“Magus was two seventeen-year-old elements of the seventh rank, and a sculptor was approaching the level of a Grandmaster. “Kalan suddenly felt a huge pressure.
This guy is just too amazing.
But before long, Kalan only felt boundless anger.
Because the inspiration for this statue was his fiancee!
"Hey, look. Isn't this girl really similar to the woman in this statue? ”A voice suddenly sounded within the hall of the masters, and instantly, over ten heads turned to look at Alice. The hall suddenly became a hotbed of commotion and discussion.
This Linley's sculpting ability was simply too incredible. He truly captured Alice's grace and charm in this statue.
From their first glance at Alice, the audience had the feeling .. that the girl in front of them and the woman carved in 'Awakening From the Dream' were very similar. In fact, they could really be considered the same person. That unique look. The curved nose is rather sharp.
"Miss, dare I ask what is your relationship with Mr Linley?" An old man with white head hair, at least a century old, asked very politely to Alice.
In the sculpture field, Linley had already reached the master level.
Linley's skill in sculpting was enough to cause these collectors who had decades or centuries of experience in sculpting to prostrate in admiration. Respectfully addressing him as 'Master' was something that came from their hearts. Based on the experience of men over a century old in judging stone sculpture, the, he could naturally tell that the woman carved on the statue was most likely the one whom Linley had shared a turbulent period of love.
Alice felt a bit awkward, and could only turn to look at Kalan.
"Oh, Kalan, you're here too. "The old man looked at Kalan. The old man was naturally as scheming as a fox, the old man could naturally tell that Kalan and Alice's relationship was not a simple one. "Well, who is this young lady?"
Although Kalan was feeling very unhappy, he still bowed and said, "Mr Duke Berner [Ba'na], this is Miss Alice, my fiancee. ”
"Wedding?" Duke Berner glanced at Kalan and Alice, then laughed, not asking anymore.
…
Withdrawing Alice's hand, like running for her life, Kalan quickly fled back to the Debs clan's house.
The leader of the Debs clan, Kalan's father, Bernard, looked at his son in disbelief. "What did you just say? The inspiration for the sculpture on display in the Proulx Gallery was Alice? "
Bernard generally loved his son a little.
When his son said he was going to marry Alice, Bernard didn't mind. But just days after his son tightened his relationship with Alice, the Dawson Conglomerate suddenly decided to sever ties with the Debs clan for no apparent reason at all. In regards to this affair, Bernard had always begged to meet with the upper management of the Dawson Conglomerate for a meeting.
For the past few months, Bernard had been busy dealing with this matter, and was so busy that he did not even have the spare time to go see the statues in the Proulx Gallery.
"Alice. Her inspiration is Alice? ”The expression on Bernard's face instantly became ugly.
Kalan nodded. "Yes, dad. Although Alice and I are not formally engaged yet, once we do, Alice will be officially introduced to the many nobles in the Holy Capital. That statue of Linley, 'Awakening From the Dream', will definitely make us the laughingstock of the city. ”
Bernard was silent for a moment, and then frowned as he asked Kalan, "How bad is it? Is there anything shameful or degrading about this statue? "
"Father, in the past, between Linley and Alice, they had periods ..." Kalan explained in a hazy manner. "And this statue is about the affairs of Linley and Alice. ”
Bernard no longer spoke. He just started to frown.
After a while, Bernard said to his son, "Right, if I ask you to hand Alice over, would you be willing?" Kalan firmly shook his head. After all, he was only eighteen years old.
Bernard nodded slightly. "Don't worry about Alice. I'll handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it. ”
Kalan nodded, then he suddenly gritted his teeth. Looking at her father, she said, "Dad, Linley must be unhappy at the fact that Alice and I are together. Moreover, Linley's potential was simply too great. I think ... that we should probably consider if we can find a way to kill Linley? "
