As a preparatory student, Wendy noticed the unusualness of this school the day she entered Kassel.
She waited all alone for the elusive CC1000 train. No one was there to see her off. The long rails stretched into the mountains and forests in the hinterland of Chicago. Most of the preparatory students who got on the train were students who had long been associated with Cassel. The few who awaken naturally are strangers.
She once again put on her friendly and low-key mask, silently read an English book, sat on the train, and planned in her heart.
If she wants to become stronger, in addition to needing Cassel Academy to give her more and richer alchemy techniques, combat techniques and connections, more importantly, she needs to get in touch with the "reality" of the world - the dark side.
The monarchs of the dark side are the real operators of the world machine. Through the torture of "Victor", Wendy Vivare knew about the secret city in Siberia - 023.
The unknown boss has the technology of cloning and serum, and is trying to reach out to Western Europe.
She doesn't want to be "eaten" like Victor, she also wants to be one at the table.
If Wendy wants to get closer to the world that eats Victor, she must first get close to the place with the most secrets of the dragon clan.
Kassel.
She raised her head and looked at the manor hidden in the mountains. The old red brick walls were hung with dense green vines, and the black and rusty iron gates made it difficult to see the true appearance inside.
Wendy dragged her luggage, and under the astonished gaze of her instructor, Professor Shi Longtai, she walked into this academy, which was both ordinary in appearance and sophisticated, with firm steps that she could not even imagine, as if on a battlefield.
Wendy put on the "Mask of the Phantom" and became shy and gentle. From her face, it was impossible to imagine that she was a person who could spend more than a year facing a face that looked like her father and could kill. child.
Her long eyelashes concealed the countless thoughts and depth in her eyes. She wandered around the campus like a ghost, observing the surroundings, looking for useful experiments or new technologies.
Norma, first caught her attention. Such a huge system monitors her every move all the time. Except for the fact that she can obtain some relatively insignificant student information and receive news quickly, she does not dare to act rashly.
But Qin Li's appearance made her eyes light up.
With years of research on people, hybrids, and various types of psychology, Wendy felt something was fishy when she saw Qin Li instinctively fight back against Kawano who had sneaked up on him because of his naughty nature.
How could a naturally awakening child have such a strong receptive ability? Although it is normal to be alert in a new environment, why was he so alert without fear?
Qin Li was on guard just to be on guard.
This is not like a character and habit developed over a long period of time in society, but rather like a somewhat contradictory behavior formed after being in a closed environment for a long time and being trained to integrate into the group for a certain period of time. , but can blend in naturally, and most people can't see it. But over time, some overly utilitarian behaviors will reveal their drawbacks.
eccentric. Wendy thought this way during her free day, and walked out of the hiding place. Seeing Qin Li's accustomed expression, he pulled Chuanye down and pretended to be dead. She also rushed over in a hurry, pretending to ask for help. .
This was her first step towards them.
For a long time, she couldn't find any reason to appear next to Qin Li, so she had to silently pay attention to his every move.
Utilitarianism, that's what's strange about him. It is obviously a natural awakening, but it seems to have been driven by tasks. Every word seems to have been practiced and arranged long ago. Such behavior should be the result of long-term professional training.
This Qin Li has a big problem. Wendy immediately thought of the information she knew about the various organizations outside Kassel and began to sift through them one by one.
Then one day, she smelled Dior's perfume on Qin Li. She was confused and asked him half-jokingly.
"My sister... likes perfume. She is quite close to the high-end cosmetics consumer market, and she calls herself a fashion pioneer in the Mediterranean." Qin Li shrugged and answered truthfully.
Mediterranean...Wendy noted it down.
After Qin Li left in a hurry after finishing the final exam that semester, Wendy began her testing.
She had suspected that Qin Li was an important figure in a dark side organization, or a dangerous hybrid with a mysterious bloodline.
She still believes in her "Holy Judgment", which penetrates everything and is fearless.
She used her super calculation ability to forge "Tianyan" and left a killer move for herself.
But she knew that she was wrong. After Qin Li grabbed the Philosopher's Stone with his bare hands, she felt that she was really ignorant, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and it was as cold as bone marrow.
Those eyes, those golden pupils, were really like the terrifying god that appeared in the vision, and the way Kungunir was stabbing at him quickly.

Back to the present.
Julie put down the coffee cup, stopped reminiscing about old things, and spoke respectfully with a soft smile of victory, "Dear friend, what kind of cooperation is there this time?"
The cooperation between the Vivarere family and the head of the Auguste family was the most correct decision. The huge dividends finally "comforted" the widowed single mother Julie Vivarere, and the receipt of the will also eliminated her worries.
Look at how cowardly Wendy is, doesn’t she have no choice but to slay dragons? Julie hummed in her mind.
Qin Luo took in all the emotions in her eyes, her face was calm, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.
"Of course it's a new collaboration. Julia, you are a smart person. I like dealing with you."
Julie's face turned red, and she pretended to be shy with skillful and elegant movements.
"Let's cooperate with the Fanzhuo family this time."
Julie's smile froze.
"Isn't it possible? I thought you should be very familiar with Lizzie." Qin Luo tilted his head innocently, admiring the change in her expression with interest.
Julie immediately changed her expression, "This... let's forget it. You know, Eliza has always disliked me, just because I am, I am a stepmother."
Qin Luo looked at her silently, his face changed so quickly, tears were still rolling, look.
"That's it... Then I'd better ask the head of the family for his opinion. After all, Wendy is half of the Vanzhuo family, and she is also the true heir." Qin Luo regretfully grabbed the shawl in his hand gently, He looked like he was about to put on his coat, stand up and leave.
"Ah, I, I suddenly remembered that Wendy hasn't come back yet." Julie became nervous and spoke incoherently.
"It's okay, it's okay. I think it's better to make a decision first. After all, Lois, you have so much respect, I'm not afraid of being deceived by you."
Zhu Li took Qin Luo's hand and shook it slightly, with a flattering smile on her face. Qin Luo's eyes rolled downwards and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, "Okay, let's talk about it in detail."
"Madam, do you still remember our auction? Now I have a new idea. The last time I went there, I held a reasonable auction of ordinary alchemy products. In fact, we were still selling our products secretly. However, the order quantity and time were shortened, and stronger families were selected in advance to attend the meeting.
The Vanzhuo family is mainly the monopoly of the white trade in Western Europe. I recently thought that if the black and white trades could run in parallel, it would not only increase their appearance, but also increase their income. Qin Luo said with a smile.
Julie's eyes suddenly shone, "What do we, Vivarere, need to do?"
Qin Luo stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together, "Cash and real estate."
What? Why? Julie was a little surprised and her eyes widened.
"It's a bit risky to transfer those unknown sources of money from Malta at the Paris auction, and it might even implicate you.
So... I would like to arrange a small task for my wife. In your name, help me mobilize funds to prepare for a new cooperative auction. I believe that with your wisdom, you will be able to help me handle it. "
What a great idea. Julie began to calculate that the bills and tokens of the August family were much more useful than this small auction business! Besides, you don’t really use your own money, you just spend it somewhere else.
She knew that Qin Luo's money of unknown origin was actually gold and silver currency that had long since ceased to be in circulation - things like handicrafts, who knew how they came from, and the amount was huge and impressive.
She agreed.
Qin Luo didn't look very happy, but just kept his usual mysterious smile and said, "Then if my partner comes and reports my name, please be sure to withdraw the funds, my dear. You The profit will be received in less than a month.”
"Great, but my property in Paris is not that big..." Julie hesitated.
Qin Luo had already put on his coat and said softly, "Oh, don't be so stingy. This kind of business can bring in a few more relatives and friends and let them make a little money. There is an old saying in China, 'Where strength is accumulated' If you give it a try, then you can do anything. Isn't your credibility good enough?"
The girl patted her skirt. Julie kept staring at her face, wanting to hear more. There was greed in Julie's eyes. She longed for these words that could help her make a decision and make up her mind. Every word seemed to have magic power. generally.
"You are the 'Duchess'." Qin Luo clasped his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and his smoky crystal eyes looked straight into Julie's blue ones.
