Qin Shoujiang sent Ma Xiaojun back to Causeway Lane and left in a hurry, in his words, to attend an important business meeting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But before leaving, Qin Shoujiang said one more thing.

The matter of Jinguozi wine has been completed, it is like opening an account for a black household, so that he can appear in the sun, and he has already made an appointment with the boss of the purchasing department of Jiuding Club to talk three days later, urging Ma Xiaojun to quickly prepare the wine in place.

Sure enough, there is money that can make the devil grind.

Ma Xiaojun returned to his hut, and the most urgent thing now was to find Yelena and see if he could find out the secret of his blood and qi through her.

Fort Atlantis.

Strange, so deserted today?

Ma Xiaojun walked around the tavern and restaurant, but he didn't see anyone, and when he came to the guest registration desk, an old man with a red nose was sitting behind the service desk and dozing off.

"Excuse me, may I ask which room does a young lady named Yelena live in?" Ma Xiaojun woke up the old man and asked.

"I'm sorry sir, guest information needs to be kept confidential, that's the rule of Atlantis Castle." The red-nosed old man said expressionlessly.

Ma Xiaojun took out a gold coin and raised it in front of the old man.

"Oh, but it's God's rule to help others, young man, let me check it for you." The old man sniffed at the red, took the coin quietly, hid it in his cuff, and then pulled out a thick parchment booklet and looked at it.

"There you have it, here it is." The old man said, "Unfortunately, Miss Elena had already left the room three days ago. ”

Let's go? It seems that his idea has been frustrated.

Ma Xiaojun was a little disappointed, the experience of a week ago made him know that he must find a way to suppress the blood qi in his body as soon as possible, otherwise if the situation of his mind being controlled by the blood qi happens again, and he does something irreparable, it will make him miserable for a lifetime.

I thought there would be progress in finding Yelena, but now it seems that I have to find another way.

"Thank you. By the way, why is it so deserted today? Ma Xiaojun asked.

"It's not a lonely day, if you go to the trading area." The old servant pointed in the direction of the trading area, and then fell asleep again.

Ma Xiaojun took three steps and two steps to the trading area, the huge trading hall was noisy, this hall was the size of a football field, but now it was crowded with people.

A huge stage was set up in the center of the hall, and at this moment, a beautiful woman in rich clothes was standing in the center of the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your old friend Vanessa, and it is a pleasure to meet you!" The beautiful woman's voice was crisp and powerful, and it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Strange, obviously there is no microphone, you can hear it so far away? Ma Xiaojun, who was standing at the outermost part of the crowd, looked curiously.

"Vanessa! We love you! ”

"Sing us a song first!"

"Vanessa, you're so beautiful! You are my goddess! ”

At this time, the crowd was boiling, it seems that there is also a star-chasing family in this world, so this Vanessa should be a star.

"Ma Xiaojun?"

Just as Ma Xiaojun was also following the surrounding audience to admire the beauty, suddenly a shrill voice came from behind, it was none other than the bard Alexander.

Alexander jumped in front of Ma Xiaojun with a happy face: "Sure enough, it's you, my old friend, long time no see!" ”

"Long time no see, Alexander." Ma Xiaojun greeted with a smile, and Ma Xiaojun still had a good impression of this first friend he met when he came to Atlantis Castle.

"Did you come here to see the game? I didn't expect you to be a poetry lover too! ”

"Poetry lover? Isn't it a concert? Ma Xiaojun asked puzzled.

"You mean Vanessa?" Alexander pointed to the stage, "Yes, Vanessa is a very famous singer, but today she is the host, the host of the good poets of the castle!" ”

A good poet in the castle? What the hell is that!

"You don't even know the good poet of the castle?" Alexander had an expression that you really didn't know Tarzan, if he knew the idiom.

"Well, you don't know!" Alexander explained with great interest: "The Good Poets of the Castle is an annual competition held by the Castle of Atlantis, where the bards recite their poems on stage, and then the judges score them, and the poet who wins first place is named Poet of the Year and receives a very valuable prize from the Castle of Atlantis!" ”

It turns out that this is the case, Ma Xiaojun thought, it seems that the world is quite concerned about literature, and the poetry competition is as lively as a concert.

"Alexander, so you're going to participate too?" Isn't this guy just a bard? even stinks his identity tattooed on his clothes.

"Well, I signed up, but I won't."

"Why?" Ma Xiaojun was very puzzled, this guy looked like a person who liked to be in the limelight, and there was no reason to give up this opportunity.

"Because, because I've seen the list of entries today, it's all two-star bards, and even three-star ones, so I'll wait for next year." Alexander said with some embarrassment.

It seems that this guy doesn't have much confidence in himself, so Ma Xiaojun didn't say anything more and turned his gaze back to the stage.

"Thank you, I love you too!" Vanessa gave a flying kiss on stage, and needless to say, the crowd boiled again.

"Next, let's take a look at the prize for Poet of the Year today!" Vanessa waved her hand, and immediately a young woman with a bewitching figure walked onto the stage with a desk.

"Oh my goodness! It's the Star of the Sea! Let's see who's the lucky one today! Vanessa picked up an object that shimmered blue from the desk and showed it to the audience.

"It's actually the Star of the Sea!" Alexander took a deep breath.

"This thing is worth a lot of money?" Ma Xiaojun looked at it from afar, it was just a glowing stone, and he could buy a dozen for ten yuan when he went to a roadside stall.

"It's not about money! The Star of the Sea, the treasure of the water magician, can help the mage speed up the recovery of the chakra, and if it is installed on the water magic weapon, it can increase the attack power by several times. ”

"If an ordinary person gets it, even if it is hung on the body as a pendant, it can also have the effect of avoiding the heat, and it can make people's minds feel clear, not affected by any distractions!"

After listening to Alexander's introduction, Ma Xiaojun's heart moved, if this Ocean Star is really as powerful as Alexander said, I don't know if he can suppress the blood in his body?

While Ma Xiaojun was thinking, the first poet on the stage came on stage.

The poet was in his twenties, dressed exactly like Alexander, with two stars and the words bard tattooed on his sackcloth robe.

This must be a two-star bard, right? It seems that tattooing on clothes is a tradition of bards.

"A petal!"

The poet began to recite, seemed a little nervous, and after reading a sentence, hesitated for a long time before he began to enter the state:

A petal

With the wind

A petal

With the rain

A plate of flower petals

Feel free

A plate of flower petals

Drop my heart

It's like rain in a spring breeze

Talk to me

Telling.

After reading a poem, the two-star bard shyly ran off the stage amid sparse applause.

This TM is also called poetry? Ma Xiaojun began to doubt the cultural level of this world, but when he squinted his eyes, Alexander beside him was applauding excitedly, with a look of admiration.

Yes, the guy on the stage is a two-star, so how bad will this one-star guy next to him be? Ma Xiaojun was a little unimaginable.

Next, there were several bards one after another, and the level was about the same, anyway, Ma Xiaojun was about to fall asleep after listening to it, until a three-star bard came on stage, and he felt a little poetic.

"Alexander, if I want to go up and play too, is there anything you can do?" Ma Xiaojun probably understood the level of these poets, and because he coveted the star of the sea, he asked Alexander.

"You're also a bard?" Alexander looked Ma Xiaojun up and down as if he had discovered a new world, and then shook his head and persuaded: "I think it's better to forget it, you don't even have a one-star certification, so don't go up and bring shame on yourself." ”

Speaking of this, Alexander's face was sad, and he remembered the ridicule that filled the sky when he took the stage to read last year.

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned, but if I can't help it, forget it." Ma Xiaojun knew that there were many things that could not be forced, although that piece of the Ocean Star might be important to him.

"If you really want to go, it's not impossible." Alexander suddenly had a prank idea, since you insist on going, let you taste the taste I received back then, the mind has been decided, Alexander pulled Ma Xiaojun and walked towards the stage, and said as he walked: "My quota is still there, you can replace my quota, but I remind you, wait a minute, if you can't get off the stage, you can't blame me." ”

This is obviously not confidence in me, Ma Xiaojun pouted. If he had known what Alexander really thought, he would have laughed and cried.
