In front of the stage, three judges with serious faces are sitting on the judges' bench listening carefully to the poetry recitation on the stage, and discussing a few words from time to time between the contestants getting off and off the stage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I've had enough, Raymond, are you sure what comes out of their mouth is called poetry? I can't understand at all how the Bard Guild gave these vulgar guys two star certification, well, even three! ”

Audrey was furious, surprisingly angry, this was the fifth time she had sat here as a judge for the Good Poets of the Castle, but in recent years, the level of the contestants had deteriorated year by year, and she began to wonder if there was a need for this competition of Good Poets of the Castle to exist.

Audrey's skin was very white, and at the moment, because of anger, her fair face was a little more red. Her long blonde hair was meticulously tied up by a blue turban, and a pair of quaint gold-rimmed glasses framed on the bridge of her high nose made her look beautiful and intellectual.

"Audrey, I don't think you need to be so serious, for the sake of that damn gold coin, we'll pretend to comment here and we'll be over." Raymond was a middle-aged man, his thick fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, and it was clear that his attention was not on the stage.

"Mike, do you think so too? Mike? Mike! Audrey turned her gaze to another judge.

"Oh, I think this poem is pretty good!" Mike was dozing off secretly with his head down, when he suddenly heard Audrey's voice and quickly opened his eyes, then looked at Raymond in a panic and said, "Raymond, I'm right!" ”

Damn, a bunch of idiots! Audrey felt like she was going crazy.

"Actually, let me be fair, the overall level of this year's players is quite acceptable." Raymond shrugged, "At least there isn't a player like that idiot last year, by the way, what is that idiot called, it made me laugh all night!" ”

"Alexander!" Mike blurted out, "This is such an impressive guy!" He brings laughter to everyone! ”

"Hello, my esteemed judges!" Suddenly, a shrill voice interrupted the discussion between the three of them.

Alexander led Ma Xiaojun in front of the judges' bench.

Alexander took off his three-cornered hat, gave a gentlemanly salute, and continued: "I am Alexander, the one-star bard, and it is a pleasure to meet you. ”

Raymond and Mike glanced at each other, and then burst into a loud laugh, and even Audrey, who had been keeping a straight face, unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth.

Alexander was a little confused, but he still pretended to be calm and continued: "Your Excellency, I have a request to give my place to my friend, Ma Xiaojun. ”

The three judges turned their attention to Ma Xiaojun, dressed in a strange costume, with dark skin and a typical oriental face, and nodded to this side with a peaceful smile at the moment.

"Ma Xiaojun, a bard from the East?" Audrey looked at Ma Xiaojun.

"Strictly speaking, I am not a poet, I should only say that I am a poetry lover." Ma Xiaojun replied calmly.

"Do you love the poetry of your friend, Alexander?" Raymond interjected and asked.

After saying this, Raymond and Mike burst into laughter again, in their opinion, this Oriental man did not even have the certification of the Bards Guild, and was a friend of the idiot Alexander - there is a good saying, if the sock on your left foot is smelly, then it is certain that the sock on your right foot will not smell good either.

"In principle, there is no precedent for this, it's a pity, Oriental, I don't think you can take the place of Alexander in the competition." Audrey tried to keep her tone as calm as she could, she was fed up with polluting her ears with the garbage-like so-called poetry, and she didn't think that this guy in front of her could bring anything special.

Perhaps it's a kind of cleanliness towards poetry.

"No!"

Just when Ma Xiaojun was a little disappointed, Raymond's voice sounded.

"Audrey, you should give this motivated young man a chance!" Raymond said to Audrey.

"I support Raymond's point of view, and I think that maybe this young man from the East will bring us a new audio-visual experience!" Mike chimed in.

"Two votes for, one vote against!" Raymond hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Young man, why are you still standing, hurry up and go backstage to prepare!" ”

Looking at the backs of Ma Xiaojun and Alexander walking backstage, Audrey sighed softly.

Raymond and Mike had triumphant playful expressions on their faces, and they gave an undisguised high-five:

"Good fit, man, wait to enjoy the happy feast brought by the Orientals!"

Ma Xiaojun, who came to the backstage, didn't know that he had walked into the "trap" designed by Raymond and Mike, and with the help of Alexander, he was ranked in the next list of players.

Then there was a hunchbacked old man with a magic staff, who recited a spell to Ma Xiaojun, and a visible mark hit Ma Xiaojun's mouth, and then slowly disappeared

Ma Xiaojun only felt that his mouth was numb, and he just wanted to speak, but was blindfolded by Alexander.

"You keep your voice down and speak in a low voice, it's a magic spell that amplifies your voice." Alexander explained.

It turned out that Vanessa and the other players on the stage all relied on this, this magic was interesting, Ma Xiaojun nodded, stopped talking, and began to close his eyes and ponder.

"Ma, have you really decided to go on stage?"

At this time, seeing that his prank was about to succeed, Alexander suddenly felt a little unbearable, and he was even a little worried that after Ma Xiaojun came to power and was ridiculed and ridiculed by all kinds of ridicule, he would break off his friendship with him!

"Ma, in fact, I recently wrote a new poem, I am personally quite satisfied, why don't I give this poem to you, you can memorize it and then go up and recite it?"

"No, you don't." Ma Xiaojun opened his eyes, "You don't believe in my strength, okay, I'll read my poem to you first." ”

Seeing Alexander's unbearable look, Ma Xiaojun couldn't help but feel funny, and decided to tease him again, reading:

Spring sleep is not aware

Birds are heard everywhere

The sound of wind and rain at night

How much do you know about the flowers?

"Horse, you can start chanting poetry." Alexander kept an expectant expression on his face.

"I'm done." Ma Xiaojun pretended to be honest and said.

"What? Is this your poem? I thought it was an oriental mantra you used to relax your mind before you read the poem! Alexander burst into tears, he felt that he could already foresee Ma Xiaojun being smashed off the stage with an egg.
