"Tell me, just by meeting, how impressed should I be to Philip to get the engagement score right away?"
'Or is it that the 2-point participation score was already calculated before, but it only became apparent now that the tutoring period has officially begun?'
[Don't you have an answer in your mind? I see that you have already thought of all the possibilities along the way.]
'. I have basically thought through all the possibilities.'
'But I'm more concerned about this now.'
"Are there any tasks? Or will we get our own participation scores like Paul Senis and the others?"
The smoke from the system danced in front of Alan's face, as if it was laughing.
[Instant task release: Philip's assessment and expectations. ]
[The host met this body's biological father half a year in advance. As a calculating politician, he lost in the competition for power in the capital more than ten years ago only because James was older and had two more years of operating in the capital.]
[What is his purpose for coming here? ]
[Complete the assessment, respond to expectations, and choose your own path among the completely different possibilities in the future. ]
[Assessment (0/2), countdown: 24:00:00. Task reward: participation score: 10 points. ]
[Expectation (0/2), countdown: 48:00:00. Task reward: participation score: 10 points. ]
[The mission begins.]
Under the nervous gazes of Sylphy and Rudy, Alan did not feel the sense of crisis that Rudy imagined. He just watched the words disappear, his eyes passing from the carriage beside him, and then turning back to Philip.
"Just when I was worried about not being able to go to Roya and start the tutoring period, Philip came to deliver a pillow."
"Assessment? Interesting."
Not far away, Philip smiled and nodded, as if acknowledging his "interesting" point.
But apart from this father and son, the entire Greyrat family was in a state of stagnation.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Alan, who was in the vortex of the incident, seemed not to notice this atmosphere. He just turned his gaze away from Philip, lowered his eyelids, gently held Sylphy's hand and walked towards the door of his home. But the next moment, he felt a little "resistance" in his hand.
In just a short while, her palms were completely soaked with sweat.
? ?
He looked down at Sylphy in surprise.
Her reddish-brown eyes flickered left and right in panic. She was unconsciously fixing her smooth white hair. Her gaze wandered over her white skirt, as if she had discovered a lot of mud spots on her clothes.
But the dress is white, how can there be any dirt in it?
Alan blinked, somewhat confused, and turned to look at Rudy beside him.
Rudy had a similar expression.
Alan instantly understood what the two were worried about and just said something softly.
"It's okay. Let's go."
Rudy and Sylphy then looked at him, and finally moved their feet and followed him.
One step, one step.
The distance of more than three meters is very close.
Several people with different thoughts have already stopped in front of the door.
Brother Paul used various facial expressions to try to get Alan's attention;
But Alan was looking at Philip with a smile, his expression relaxed;
Philip glanced at Paul, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and looked back at Alan again.
No one spoke.
Finally, it was Sylphy who broke the silence.
She blinked, and at Rudy's signal, she took a deep breath and spoke nervously.
"Excuse me, are you a guest of the Knight's house? Hello!"
Philip blinked, tore his eyes away from Alan and looked at Sylphy.
In an instant, the strange atmosphere between the few people melted away.
Rudy squeezed his palms.
"Well done, Sylphy! Now we should make Alan completely invisible. As long as he is invisible, his identity will not be exposed. And this man will definitely not recognize Alan. According to Alan, Philip has never seen him! Not to mention that he has changed his appearance now!"
Everyone turned their eyes to Sylphy who was standing beside Allen. Sylphy shrank her neck, her white hair swaying in front of her neck skin, and looked at Philip with some lack of confidence.
Philip tilted his head, his eyes lingering on the hands of Allen and Sylphy, then he bent down and touched her head.
"Yes. You have a lovely hair color, what's your name?"
"Thank you. My name is Sylphiet."
"Sylphiette? What a nice name. My name is Philip Boreas Greyrat. You can just call me Philip."
".Thanks, Uncle Philip."
Rudy breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"The attention has been diverted. Great. Now I can just fool around and find a chance to check my testimony with Paul and Senis."
At this moment of thought, Philip suddenly spoke as Rudy just smiled.
"Is your name Alan?"
He turned to look at Alan, his eyes seeming to look directly into his heart.
Chapter 86: Cooling down the blood? Quick pass of the mission!
The blood ran cold.
This is the feeling of everyone in the Greyrat family. Sylphy looked at Philip in front of her with a pale face.
Paul, Ceness, Lilia, Rudy, Sylphy, they subconsciously looked at Allen.
But before his eyes even turned, he heard Alan's leisurely words in his ears.
Without the slightest hesitation.
"My name is Alan."
The air was silent for a moment, but it seemed to be just an illusion.
Everyone's eyes were on Alan. His smile didn't even waver as he answered calmly.
You asked me if my name was Alan?
Yes, that's right, my name is Alan.
These are words that come out of your mouth without thinking.
But the problem is that Philip's son, also named Alan
Rudy looked at Alan with his pupils shaking, not understanding what he was going to do. Although they had never hidden Alan's name because it was too common, the person in front of you is your father. Aren't you afraid of being recognized on the spot if you are so frank?
Philip, who was standing by, paused for a moment after hearing what Alan said, then immediately returned to normal. He looked at Alan's calm smile with interest, as if he was appreciating a piece of art he had made himself.
"Alan? That's a good name. What a coincidence, my eldest son is also named Alan."
Alan patted Rudy on the shoulder, signaling not to worry, and said with a smile.
"That's a coincidence."
Philip looked at Alan's dark grey pupils, which were very common in the world of swords and magic, and said with a smile.
"I know you."
Alan's hands were casually combing Sylphy's white hair. Sylphy's heartbeat gradually slowed down under his actions in the "sensation flow". He replied indifferently.
"I've heard your name many times."
Philip seemed very surprised. He put his hand on Paul who suddenly wanted to interrupt him and stopped him from speaking.
"Oh? Really?"
Alan glanced at Paul and the others leisurely, ignoring their nervous expressions with his eyes, and answered casually.
"The name of the mayor of Roya City is well-known."
After this sentence, the two of them asked and answered each other at an extremely fast speed, almost without any breathing, and the conversation echoed in front of the courtyard.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I'm so famous. Aren't you curious about why I've heard of your name?"
"Not curious."
"Why?"
"You have many eyes, so you can see far, right?"
"Many eyes? Can see far? That's an interesting statement."
"Wasn't it you, the mayor, who granted Master Paul the title of Knight? I am naturally aware of the situation of my employer's family."
"Are you saying that I will send someone to Buena Village to specifically monitor his every move?"
"With many eyes, one can see far. Naturally, that means all the villages under his rule. How can it be limited to just one village, Buena?"
"Shouldn't I have known you for a long time?"
"Information cannot be accurately transmitted. Your 'screening network' screens out useful information as 'useless information'. For example, the Knight's family hired an ordinary tutor, which is a common thing. Because there have been tutors before, you didn't react, right?"
"You don't seem like the reckless adventurer that the rumors say you are."
"Not all adventurers are reckless. You must be joking."
"Then do you know why I'm here?"
Alan immediately asked back as the Graylat family's pupils all contracted.
"Looking for me?"
"Yes, aren't you curious about why I came to you?"
"There's nothing to be curious about."
Alan stopped talking, and as Paul frantically wiped the sweat off his face, he looked back at Philip, whose eyes had opened without him noticing.
"That must be because I killed a wave of monsters last year, and the news reached Roya City. As the mayor, you were excited to see me, a man who had made great contributions, so you came to Buena Village to see me, right?"
"Can't there be another reason?"
Alan smiled gently.
"It can be, but it shouldn't be."
Opposite him, at some point, the admiration in Philip's eyes was hotter than the midday sun.
"How old are you?"
Alan smiled but did not answer.
Because it is an exclamation, not a question.
Philip's words fell again. He turned to look at Paul and spoke.
"Regarding the letter I sent you, how have you considered it? I think Alan is pretty good too. Last year, I heard that there was a young man in Buena Village who single-handedly killed all the monsters in the Snow Valley. I thought he was a talent. I admire him very much. Are you really not going to consider the job?"
Paul looked at Philip, then at Alan, with a confused expression on his face.
In front of his face, the smoke and dust that had dissipated less than a few minutes ago reappeared!
[Assessment (1/2), complete one, time taken: 4 minutes and 57 seconds]
[You are trapped in a dilemma and cannot enter the tutoring period. But now an external force appears in front of you as an opportunity to enter the tutoring period. How should you grasp it? ]
[Recognition Bureau? This is the worst outcome. Recruitment Bureau! Take it! ]
[Philip has already determined through clues that you are his son, but the spies left by James do not support him recognizing you. Even the reason for coming to Buena Village this time can only be based on the monster tide fighting last winter, and his purpose cannot be exposed directly to the sun.]
[Why go to Buena Village? It was just a "recruitment". ]
[And you, without any need for any secret reminders, had already fully perceived Philip's intentions through the analysis of the previous information, and you exchanged your thoughts with each other in just a few words during the first meeting, and made each other's thoughts very clear. To be honest, this was completely beyond his expectations.]
