Up stairs covered with thick lichen, through a door paneled with glass, Tom and Sev came to the hall. From the high ceiling hung a huge brass chandelier, and in one corner stood a big clock with Made of oak carved with strange patterns, it was a little blackened due to the age.There are several portraits hanging on the surrounding walls, one of which is very similar to the Mr. Alikili I have seen before, but Alikili has brown hair, while the man in the portrait has blond hair.

It was the first time for the two children to see such a magnificent house, but they both maintained their calmness.With a straight back, he followed the housekeeper silently along the stairs on the left side of the hall to the second floor. On both sides of the long corridor, the wooden doors carved with patterns similar to those on the big clock were tightly closed until they circled around and came to the second floor. The end of the corridor.The old man in a black swallowtail vest pointed to the room facing the corridor and said to Tom, "Master Tom, this is your room."

Both of them were a little surprised, and Tom couldn't help but tighten his grip on Sev's hand, "I thought it would be fine for the two of us to live in one room."

"That's inappropriate, the master's adopted sons all have their own rooms," the old butler looked respectful, half-bowed and pointed to the door of the other room next to him, but his tone was unceremonious, "Master Sif will live in the room." It's next door. There are already a change of clothes for the two young masters, and there will be special arrangements for the rest tomorrow."

"Tom, see you tomorrow." Sev nodded, asked the butler to open the door with a straight face, pushed the door open and walked in, and glanced at Tom when he turned to close the door.The situation is stronger than people, and there is no need for too many disputes.No matter what the man named Alikili planned, at least on the surface he treated them very well.There was a low-key and luxurious carriage pick-up when they came, and he and Tom were given plenty of time to contemplate along the way, without too many temptations and cross-examinations.

After locking the door, Sev raised his eyes and looked around the room, but there was no particularly gorgeous decoration.Dark wallpaper embroidered with dark silver stripes. In the middle of the room is a large bed with black pillars, covered with a silver-gray dark pattern blanket with silver tassels at the four corners. There is a delicate silver alarm clock on the bedside table. The same black wardrobe, and the wall next to the door is a row of bookshelves, and now there are only a few scattered books on it.In front of the fireplace on the left stood a tall rocking chair with a neatly folded gray cloth rug on it.The moonlight came in through the white gauze curtains, printing the pattern of the window bars on the ground.

Turning on the floor lamp beside the bed, Sif is very satisfied with this room. The door next to the closet is a separate bathroom, which makes Sif, who has been intimidated or intimidated by Mr. Dang's satisfaction!After staying in the orphanage for such a long time, he couldn't take a good bath, and could only wash it casually in the public bathroom of the orphanage every time, and in winter, he could only clean it up to keep it tidy.

br>Hanging in the closet is a pair of suspender shorts with a light brown plaid, a white shirt with a stand-up collar and short sleeves with light gray and dark patterns, and a pair of soft-soled leather shoes are placed at the bottom of the closet.There is also a white silk nightgown trimmed with lace, which is placed on the low table by the bathroom door.Facing the complicated and gorgeous lace, Sev frowned and hesitated for a while, then gave up and took the nightgown and went into the bathroom.

After a whole night of physical fatigue, anxiety and blood loss from injuries, Sev was drowsy after soaking in the comfortable hot water.He didn't even have the energy to think about it, what happened to the sudden addition of Mr. Alikili who tried to adopt Tom.

When I woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, and the sun shone in through the gaps in the white gauze curtains and sprinkled on Sev's face. Sev blocked his eyes with the back of his hands uncomfortablely, and it took a few seconds to remember He and Tom are no longer in the orphanage.Instead, he was about to live in this mansion as the adopted son of Mr. Alikili—it was an incomprehensible experience.

After doing the exercises that must be done every day, Sif took a shower again and put on the suit in the closet, only to find that it was a little too big.In the past six months, Tom has grown taller again, but he has not changed at all. He stepped on his feet in frustration, trying to make himself look taller in the mirror, but soon found that this kind of behavior was meaningless.

"Sev."

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tom standing at the door, wearing the same style of clothes on Tom, as if it was a tailor-made dress for him.The two walked along the corridor to the top of the hall, just in time to see the butler walking over.

"You two young masters, please follow me."

The two were led to the living room on the left side of the first floor. There were already three teenagers staying in the warm-colored room.On the couch facing the door, a sturdy boy with dark brown short hair and blue eyes sat carelessly with his legs spread out, with his head raised and his face full of arrogance.The short sofa on the right was occupied by a child with blond curly hair, a round face with a pair of green eyes, who looked only seven or eight years old, staring at Sev and Tom curiously.The boy standing behind him was about the same age as Tom, with long red hair tied up high, glanced at the door lightly, then turned to continue looking out the window.

All three children were dressed in the same style of clothing as them, but the details were different.It was obvious that they were Mr. Alikili's adopted sons.

Tom squeezed Sev's hand, pulled him in, and the two sat together on the couch facing the brown-haired boy. Sev looked at the blond boy with a cold face, and said Go watch the leaves outside the window.But Tom casually leaned on the sofa with a three-point smile and glared at the brown-haired boy.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a few minutes, and then the brunette boy was the first to speak, "New here? What's his name?"

r> "Huh? Didn't Mr. Alikiley hire an etiquette teacher?" Tom chuckled.

"You!" The brown-haired boy retracted his feet and arched his body, which was a posture ready to attack.It seems that this kid is the first bird among them, the most impulsive and brainless one. "Don't think it's easy to stay here, I've already been driven away several times before you."

"Oh." Tom nodded indifferently, indicating that he had heard his message.

Sure enough, the brown-haired boy was irritated and stood up. Tom watched his movements leisurely, but the boy calmed down soon, and nodded at Tom condescendingly, "Welcome, I'm Bartley Hill, Ten years old this year."

The blond boy also stood up cheerfully, and introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Eden Bryan. I am also ten years old this year."

"Elvis Hawke. Nine years old." The red-haired boy was as quiet as Sev.

Tom and Sif also stood up and introduced themselves to them.After sitting down again, the liveliest Eden immediately chattered about the house. It turned out that apart from the five of them, there were only the housekeeper and three servants in this three-story building with a large garden, and Aliki Mr. Leigh does not live here.

Every day they get up at seven o'clock in the morning, go to the living room to chat at eight o'clock, go to the dining room to have breakfast at nine o'clock, and then a tutor will come to teach them.After the lunch break, firearms and fighting training began at three o'clock.Free time until after dinner at [-]:[-] pm.

Both Tom and Sif were a bit surprised by the simplicity and ease of their living arrangements, which were unbelievable.For those who have been exercising every day, they should be able to adapt quickly.But the easier it is, the more unsettling it is.I don't know what is the purpose of Alikili?Is it really for cultivating heirs?

"What about Germany?"

The fingers of the man's right hand tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat, while the left hand held a roll of documents and carefully read them.

The person sitting across the desk took a sip of red wine, "That side is unwilling to interfere with Britain anyway."

"Really?" The man closed the file, "Not enough?"

"No. It's because the one above them doesn't want to."

"...That one. Forget it. How is your contact in England?"

"Hmph. England. People here want to shrink into their shells."

"Um……"

Both of them were silent for a while, Alikili signed the document and put it aside, "

Gubera, are the two children arranged? "

"Leave it to Henry." Seve paused for a while before asking again, "Luther, is there anything special about those two children?"

"Huh?" Alikili smiled, "You came late, so I didn't see it. That Sever Prince seems to have a special ability, with agility and quick reflexes. And Tom Riddle, this kid is a very good boy." People who will settle for mediocrity. If guided well..."

"Hey, just like you back then?"

Alikili stood up and walked to the window. The sun outside the house was just right, and everything was full of vitality, but he could barely support his body. For more than 40 years, he spent countless efforts to get to this point, but his body collapsed .

"And one more thing. That kid in Sever Prince seems to have some kind of magic drug. I think it has something to do with that place."

"Oh? If that's the case..."

"Then these two children can't let go."
