"John?"

As soon as he heard Du Yuhan's call, John jumped up and instantly fell asleep, "Mr. Du Yuhan!" You're here! ”

"What are you doing here?" Du Yuhan remembered that his game had ended as early as the morning, why didn't he go home now? "Are you waiting for me?"

"I, I wanted to talk to you, but the staff wouldn't let me in. I heard that the judges will come here to rest after the competition......" John suddenly remembered something, immediately quickly sorted out his crumpled clothes, and said again, "Sorry, I was too abrupt......"

John was tall, but he had few taels of flesh, and his wide robe was washed and white, and hung like a hanger on his body. The raw edge is carefully patched. The neckline exposes the thin shoulder blades, and the skin is sickly pale from long-term malnutrition.

Like a child making a mistake, he stared down at the floor beneath his feet, wringing his fingers nervously.

This kid has been waiting from the morning to see him until now?

Du Yuhan was shocked, but also very sad.

"You come in first." He took out the rune stone that recorded his identity, pressed it on the small magic circle of the wooden door, and a layer of light swept across the surface of the wooden door, with a crisp click, Du Yuhan pushed the door out.

"Wouldn't that be out of place?" Tightening the corners of his coat, John hesitated outside the door.

"It's not a big deal, and it's not a secret place." Anyway, the most important event information will be kept in another place. Du Yuhan walked into the innermost table, opened the sign-in book and found his name, and made a mark on it with his finger, today's work is officially completed.

"Then I'll bother." Stepping in gently, John looked around cautiously and curiously.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Du Yuhan leaned back on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it is rich and rich, and the guild's sofa is comfortable.

"Actually, it's not a big deal...... John rubbed his palms and sat down on the side of the chair for a while, "I, I've heard that the morning game is your rating, thank you for your kindness—"

"That's what you say." Du Yuhan understood.

In the morning event, the theme assigned was "Power".

The model of John's zuò is very special, consisting of a ball the size of a basketball, which is given a plush crusty material. The surface was tightly tied by several circles of iron chains, which were tense to the touch, and in some places they were still cracked, and the liquid flames like lava loomed inside, shimmering with a dark red light.

The model is just right from the structure and wiring, or the color of the material, although it is only the cheapest ordinary material, but the effect of matching is very amazing. The energy inside the ball seems to burst out of the body in the next moment, and the whole work looks full of suppressive explosive power.

Du Yuhan liked it very much and gave the highest score this morning.

"No thanks, I just gave the right score." Du Yuhan waved his hand indifferently.

As a referee, he has his own views and standards for his skills, and he does not change because of who the opponent is. Compared to the other contestant, John's work is highly skilled and creative, and it is very deserving of it to win.

Moreover, it is not his final say, the scores of the other two judges will also be counted.

"Your Excellency is talking about ......" seemed to be a little embarrassed by Du Yuhan's alienation, John laughed dryly, and quickly cheered up again, "Then I wonder if Your Excellency is willing to give some professional advice on my work?" ”

Looking at the other party's cautious and serious little eyes, Du Yuhan couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't dare to say it professionally, but I have some opinions." ”

Although John's modeling techniques are mature, he has not been systematically studied after all, and the technology is still immature, and Du Yuhan patiently treats him with shortcomings.

John stared at him intently, occasionally asking questions and opinions.

"In general, these issues are more prominent, and with a little attention, it will definitely go further in the future." Du Yuhan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you for your advice, I have benefited a lot." John quickly stood up and saluted.

"You're welcome." Du Yuhan smiled heartily.

Smart and studious, respectful of his predecessors, it's no wonder that the judges praised him. Anyone would like such a good student, but why not take him as an apprentice?

Pouring two cups of hot tea on the table, Du Yuhan picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip, "By the way, you sneaked into the dinner that day, right?" ”

As soon as the words fell, John, who had just relaxed a little and sat down, stiffened, and stood up suddenly, his little face was terrifyingly pale, "I, I...... I can explain the behavior that day! Please don't disqualify me! ”

Taken aback by the other party's attitude, Du Yuhan hurriedly reassured him, "Calm down, I'll just ask casually, I don't mean anything else." ”

Later he learned that in the city of Toba, there was a clear hierarchy, and the commoners were absolutely not allowed to participate in the affairs of the nobility. Once discovered, they will be imprisoned at least and beheaded in public.

Du Yuhan knew that on this continent, there was a gap between nobles and commoners, but he didn't expect that the contradictions would be so sharp here. It is no wonder that those ordinary families, when they know that they are visiting, will make those transgressive and even crazy actions. Just to learn the skills from yourself so that you can get out of the civilian identity.

It took a long time for John to gradually calm down, but his face was still not good-looking. "I'm sorry, I really wanted to see my husband, but I couldn't find any other way, so that's-"

"I understand." Du Yuhan nodded, "But why do you have to see me?" "Even to the point of taking risks.

"Because, because ......" John bit his lower lip and pinched two handfuls of sweat in his hands. After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say loudly, "Your Excellency, I, I want to ask you to take me as an apprentice!" ”

Hearing this, Du Yuhan was stunned.

"Huh?"

Apprentices? What kind of apprentices do you accept?

Although his rank belongs to the category of high-level professionals, his knowledge is still very narrow in comparison, and he is not sure whether he can become a famous teacher like Wagner. What's more, he is just a judge transferred from other places, and it is impossible for him to stay and stay in the permanent area, so how can he recruit protégés like other modelers?

Besides, as a judge, he also recruited contestants as students, isn't this a clear cheat? Even if he doesn't mean this, it's better to avoid suspicion.

Du Yuhan frowned, "John, you know......"

"I, I know my request is a bit abrupt, but I hope you'll give it serious consideration." John knew the other party's attitude at a glance, and he bit his lower lip white, "I will listen very carefully, and I will definitely not trouble you!" ”

This is the last chance, and if you miss it, you don't know how long you'll have to wait. He must, must, ......

"But......" Du Yuhan was very embarrassed.

Depend on! I know that you are a good seedling, so you must not mislead people's children!

If Mr. Wagner were here, he would have liked it very much.

Just as he pondered whether to give Wagner an introduction, the wooden door of the lounge was pushed open.

"Knowing that you are so abrupt and so dead-faced? If I had you, you'd have run away with your tail between your legs. A young man in fine clothes, who looked to be in his early twenties, stepped in casually, staring at John unceremoniously.

Du Yuhan unexpectedly found that Ruskin was standing behind the other party, staring at him with an angry face.

Oh? Who is this?

"Jesse......" Suddenly, John's face became very ugly, and his clenched fists trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing some kind of outburst of emotion.

"I advise some people to still have some self-knowledge, so that they can still leave a good impression on Your Excellency, and the next time they judge, will they be able to give a little sympathy points." The young man stepped forward slowly, deliberately stopping beside John with a defiant smile.

"You! - John's pupils shrank, and he was about to pounce, but he was gently pulled by the people around him.

"Hello, I'm Du Yuhan." Pulling the excited John behind him, Du Yuhan showed a decent smile. "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"

"I'm Jesse Griffin, a beginner-intermediate modeler, and it's a pleasure to meet you." The young man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled, "Your Excellency's name is like thunder, and I have admired it for a long time, and I have long wanted to visit you." ”

"Sir is overrated." Seeing the same frenzy on Jesse's face, he quietly shifted the topic to the other party. "Did Mr. Jesse participate in this contest as well?"

Sure enough, the smile on Jesse's face was even bigger, and his expression of excitement was even greater than John's. "Today is my first race."

"It seems to be very smooth."

"Your Excellency's good words."

"Master Jesse." Ruskin, who had been standing behind him, was anxious, but he seemed to be very taboo about Jesse's identity, and he sneered and intervened between the two, "It's getting late, you still have to prepare for tomorrow's game." ”

"I've got my own measure." Jesse was upset to be interrupted, but what he said was a problem. He rolled his eyes, turned his head and looked at Du Yuhan with a smile, "I met Your Excellency today, and it's not too early now, I wonder if Your Excellency has come to the mansion as a guest?" ”

When Ruskin heard this, his face instantly lengthened, and he glared at Du Yuhan opposite viciously, and the horizontal flesh on his face trembled with anger.

Seeing all the other party's anger in his eyes, Du Yuhan maintained a respectful smile on his face, but secretly rolled his eyes.

Not again.

In other words, why do these people like to invite people to dinner so much? Since that boring dinner, he has been insensitive to the entertainment of a qiē nobleman. What's more, he doesn't plan to develop here for a long time, and he really has no interest in dealing with nobles.

Although I was full of slander in my heart, I still had the necessary etiquette, "Mr. Jesse, I am very willing to accept your invitation, but I am afraid that I will not have time to participate because of my heavy official duties." ”

"Heavy on official duties?" Jesse's brows tightened, and he was about to go crazy, "Are the other modelers in the guild dead now?" How can you put all the affairs on Mr. Du Yuhan! Where's Lingston?! ”

Du Yuhan was shocked in his heart, worried about dragging innocent people into the water, and secretly scolded the gentleman, so he hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Excellency, the event is busy now, and there is no way to do it-"

"How can this work? It is very rude for Your Excellency to say that you are a distinguished guest of Toba City. But Jesse didn't buy it, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Ruskin, and shouted, "Ruskin, you go and help Mr. deal with today's business." ”

Ruskin didn't expect things to happen, and froze on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

Dealing with official business?

He is a dignified mid-level intermediate modeler, going to help others?

What kind of kidding is this?!

Where is his face still going to be when it gets out?!

Seeing that the other party did not react, Jesse became even more angry, "What are you still standing for?" Still not going to help?! ”

"But, this, this-" Ruskin was dumbfounded, he obviously wanted to prevent Du Yuhan from having a relationship with Jesse, why did he now become himself to deal with Wen Jiàn for this guy?!

Damn, what's going on!?
