Alien world

Chapter 367 25. Ancestor

A quaint remote manor stands quietly on the outskirts of the city.

There are many manors scattered on this vast plain.Here you can enjoy the tranquility and appreciate the grandeur of the imperial capital at the same time.

When the carriage carrying the teachers and students of Salz Academy of Magic stopped in front of the quaint manor, the servant hurried into the mansion and told the news to a woman with a ponytail and a men's shirt, with strong lines.

"Saltz School of Magic? Defeat Stowes Academy? Stowes can always bring us surprises..." The woman turned her head and said to the tall guard standing aside: "You follow the servant to confirm your identity, I Go tell your ancestors."

The woman walked all the way to the garden on the north side of the building, and came to an old woman who was wearing a blanket and leaning on a recliner, leaned into her ear and said loudly: "Old ancestor, your two granddaughters are here to see you!"

The old woman's narrowed eyes opened a gap: "My what?"

"Your granddaughter!"

"Aren't you here?"

"It's not me, it's the Waters'! Waters of Stowes!"

"Waters' house..." the old woman chewed repeatedly, remembering the past, and wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes: "Take me there quickly."

In front of the gate of the manor, Annan and the others, who had confirmed their identities, were brought into the manor and came to the living room of the mansion.

Not long after they sat down, a capable-looking woman helped the old woman in.With short hair, she is even more masculine than Olmedo's—when Olmedo smiles, his brows droop and his cheeks soften.

"Where's my little Manny?" the old woman who came in asked impatiently.

Everyone in the seats stood up one after another, Ai Xue no longer had that indifferent attitude, and said with a smile: "Old ancestor, mother is still at home, we came with the competition team."

"What did you say?" the old woman asked, tilting her head.

"You are Germaine's daughter?"

"Ah."

At this time, Xian Na was gently pushed by An Nan, and she had no choice but to say: "There is me."

The woman glanced at Xian Na, bowed her head and said loudly to the old woman: "My sister is not here, but her two daughters are here!"

"Which one?"

Ai Xue and the cowardly Xian Na approached, and the old woman opened her cloudy eyes and looked hard: "It really looks like... I seem to see Little Manny pestering me for candies again."

Thinking that her mother had this kind of experience, Xian Na couldn't help but smile. The ancestor grabbed her hand and said that she was exactly the same as her mother, but Ai Xue next to her was left out in the cold.

Then they changed from the living room to the dining room, and the ancestor kept holding Xian Na's hand.Annan doesn’t have to worry anymore.The old lady prefers Xian Na to Ai Xue.

When they came to the dining room, unlike the long tables common in noble homes, there was a round table in front of the fireplace, very close to each other—so that the ancestors could hear everyone's voices.

They sat down at the round table, Ai Xue was on the left of the ancestor, Shana was on the right, and then a woman, Vice President Boris and the students, and Annan who was holding Lily was sitting at the farthest.

"What happened to the old ancestor's ears?" Xian Na boldly asked the woman.

"curse."

"Can't it be cured by magic?"

The woman had a gloomy and tough face: "I have asked the church for help, but they can't help it."

"How come..." Xian Na exclaimed, "Is it after the turmoil?"

"Before the turmoil." To prevent Xian Na from continuing to ask, the woman said directly: "The ancestor is a legend."

There was a moment of silence on the round table.

Annan didn't feel any fluctuations in the magic power from the old woman... But it may be that the gap is too large, like an ant thinking that the dragon's claw is a hill.

Some drinks and pastries were brought up, and the woman asked, "Are you coming to the Imperial Capital for the competition?"

The invisible deputy principal Boris quickly stood up: "Saltz Academy of Magic has become the top 160 in the empire, and we will come to the imperial capital to participate in the next competition."

Then introduce students to the ancestors and women.Unfortunately for women, neither Ai Xue nor Xian Na are contestants.Finally, Vice President Boris introduced Annan:
"If Saltz School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can become the champion, the Warlock Champion must be Annan Reeves."

"Dark eyes, black hair... surnamed Reeves..." The woman looked at Annan strangely: "What is the relationship between the Reeves family of the Twelve Kings of the North and you?"

"I am one of the current twelve kings in the north, but it's over..."

The north they guarded is gone.

The old ancestor looked at An Nan, patted Xian Na's hand, and smiled kindly: "Your classmate is so cute."

Annan kept silent, and the legend did what he said.

What did the ancestor think of: "You don't have a place to live yet, do you? You should live here these days."

"Is that okay?" The woman hesitated, "Cousin wants you to rest quietly here..."

The old ancestor snorted: "Young boy drove me out of the imperial capital, and if you don't come to see me, the manor is not lively at all."

"But they still have to participate in the competition, it's not convenient to live in the suburbs..." The woman looked at the vice president.

Thinking of the name of the emperor of the Tatum Empire, Vice President Boris said timidly: "As long as the ancestors like it, we will live here."

This time the ancestor heard it, and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

During the next meal time, the ancestor took Xian Na and Ai Xue to ask around, and asked Xian Na more, and her mood gradually became brighter, as if making up for the neglect she received at home.

Ten minutes later, the woman wiped the fine sweat from the ancestor's face with a handkerchief, and helped her to rest.After the host left, everyone except Annan and Lili, who didn't eat much, began to eat.

Not long after, the woman went back and forth, this time to Annan: "The ancestor likes your cat very much..."

"Don't leave the cat." Lily, who was lying on Annan's lap, raised her head and said.

"It doesn't want to." Annan replied to the woman.

"I'm asking what you think."

"Its thoughts are my thoughts."

The woman who is used to being strong frowned: "Do you know who you are rejecting?"

The teachers and students at the round table were silent, and at this moment Ai Xue stood up: "Annan, Aunt Oline Montreal is helping you, the ancestors like it."

Annan ignored Ai Xue and looked directly at the woman: "Yes, Oline Montreal."

Olin Montreal thought that they were guests and brought two nieces, and her attitude relaxed a little: "Then let the ancestors touch it, right?"

Annan showed a embarrassed expression, which made Olin Montreal take a deep breath, but she couldn't get angry at a student: "Are we going to take your cat away?"

"Okay." Annan picked up Lily and whispered to it, "They will run back if they want to catch you."

Olin Montreal could only pretend not to hear, took Lily and left with it in her arms.

Looking at her back, Annan was thoughtful.Does the ancestor think there is a problem with Lily's identity, or does he simply like Lily?
