Chapter 62: It's Overblown
The intensity of this wave of official propaganda soon greatly surprised Asker.
The next morning, when Asker came out of the Fire Island, he heard a commotion outside.
Although the barracks were theoretically divided between the Green Sword, the City Watch, and the Spartans, the City Watch was stationed on the top floor 24 hours a day, and the Spartans seemed to have their own quarters, so much so that the Chase Shop outside was always empty, and Hood was the only one living there.
And this kid doesn't know where to go early in the morning.
Eleanor, who was in charge of guarding the books in the room today, was sleeping soundly with them in her arms, her bright blonde hair spread over her pillow, and her mouth muttering something like "protect everyone".
Asker stared at her pretty sleeping face, well, don't bother her.
He left the barracks room and went to the Chase Shop, where he found the noise farther away.
Leaving the barracks again, he followed the sound to the stairwell, and saw a large number of strange citizens gathered in the staircase below the barracks level, and Hood was scrambling to maintain order.
Seeing Aske appear at the top of the staircase, the crowd erupted in an excited shout:
"Azure Sword Saint!"
Asker: ???
Ha?
Immediately afterwards, these citizens below began to frantically pick up their mobile phones to take pictures, and the sound of popping sounded.
"What's going on?" Aske looked at Hood with a puzzled expression.
In his previous life, as a professional player, he occasionally encountered times when he went out and was recognized and besieged by fans, so Asker was also very calm about this kind of small scene.
In the eyes of the onlookers, it seems to have become some kind of "master style".
It took Hood's explanation that Asker understood.
You're on fire!
Since 11 o'clock last night, the crusaders at the foot of the hill have been bombarded incessantly, causing panic among the citizens to fall asleep in the middle of the night due to shaking and loud noises.
(Most of the girls rested on Hearthfire Island, so they were not affected)
What about insomnia? Get up to watch TV, play with your mobile phone, and brush CM.
It just so happened that a late-night variety show in Olin City, in conjunction with the official publicity, did a show about the activities of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group, so it successfully ate this wave of traffic, and also greatly spread the fame of the Blue Sword in the city.
To what extent does this variety show blow the sword of the blue? It can be seen from the nicknames they gave each one.
Nicknames, as a traditional repertoire of the people of the lower Cyris, can be traced back to the mythical heroes of ancient Cyrius in the First Age, such as the "filial son" Oedipus (this gentleman killed his father and married his mother), the "loyalist" Iason (this man abandoned his wife), the "honest man" Odysseus (the Trojan horse proposer, known for his tricks) and so on.
In addition to satirizing mythological heroes, emperors have also been added to the list of nicknames.
For example, John II, who was short and ugly, was nicknamed "Beautiful Man"; Another example is Leo VI, who lost the battle, nicknamed "The Wise" and so on.
Because of this, Asker is completely insensitive to the nicknames of the people of Ciris, and if these guys give him nicknames like "president" and "producer" like Hood (sarcastically all of his group are beautiful girls), then he will not be able to wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River.
What the hell is this "Azure Sword Saint"?
"Probably to praise your martial arts." Hood replied.
Asker strongly doubted this, the nickname "Juggernaut", when you hear it, is it sarcastic, okay?!
"Alas, this, there must be sunspots, after all, I blew you too much on TV last night." Hood spread his hands helplessly, "However, there seem to be many people who believe in it, and it seems that they take this nickname seriously." ”
So, Kuroko takes it as sarcasm, and fans take it as glory?
Asker was completely speechless about this. Even as a professional player, he had never encountered such a complicated fan circle in his previous life, so he could only show the same attitude as before:
It's okay to ignore it.
"I'll leave it to you." Asker patted Hood on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Hood looked confused.
Seeing Asker turn around to leave, the crowd blocking the staircase suddenly became anxious. A few young girls even forced their way to the front row and shouted up the stairs.
"Sign me! Please, I've been waiting here since 5 o'clock! ”
"Azure Sword Saint! Azure Sword Master! Ahhhh!!h ”
"Is your group still recruiting? I'm young and beautiful, I like to sing, dance, and rap, Brother Asker think about it! ”
"Ahh
What the hell are these...... Asker was speechless, and walked up without looking back, when he saw Eleanor pushing open the door to the stairwell.
"What's going on, it's noisy early in the morning." Her blond hair was messy, her face was haggard, and she held a glass of water in her left hand and a toothbrush in her mouth.
The crowd of onlookers below stirred up again:
"It's the Knight of the Dawn!"
"Real people are even more brilliant than on TV!"
"Look, the Knight of Dawn is brushing his teeth!"
"It looks great with toothpaste foam in my mouth!"
Elinor:???
"Let's go back first." Seeing that the following fan uncles were about to break through Hood's defense, Asker hurriedly pushed and pulled and pushed the bewildered Eleanor back.
————————
A replay of yesterday's show was playing on the TV, and the girls of the Blue Sword were staring at the screen dumbfounded.
"Eleanor, Knight of the Dawn." Nora solemnly reported Eleanor's new nickname, "Heroic and fearless Eleanor, guardian of justice Eleanor." ”
"Don't talk about it." Eleanor raised her hand weakly, "I'm going to die of shame when I hear it." Don't you have that nickname too? Angel Light? ”
"It's not a terrible nickname." Nora held her chin and said, "Azure Sword Saint, Angel Light......
"What the hell is the god of war in the Northlands!" Sidlifa complained excitedly, "Why don't you have a Valkyrie too?" ”
"It's better than the dirty nickname 'Night Assassin.'" Mia covered her face and said.
"I think the Night Assassin is pretty good." Mi'er said, "I'm the 'Elven Gunner', so we can form a team. ”
"Not that problem." Mia said, "The nickname of the Shadow Assassin is clearly not intentional. It's just a combination of the associative words 'shadow' and 'dark night' of 'assassin'. ”
"Look at the scheming girl's nickname, 'Rose Warlock'! The quality and our nickname are completely different! Why! Is it just because she has big breasts? ”
"Do you have any opinions about my sister's figure?" Medea groaned and touched her head, and Mia opened her mouth in a rage to bite, but she quickly pulled her hand out of the way.
"Comrades, the question now is whether the nickname is good or not?" Aske stood up speechlessly, "The problem is that we're already in the media!" ”
"I don't care about myself, but some of the identities in our team are more sensitive, so it's inconvenient to expose them publicly, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Eleanor looked up at the sky with a weak heart, Nora silently looked down at the floor, and Medea helplessly held her forehead.
Sheila quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily I wore a mask the whole time.
"Ah, whose identity is inconvenient to expose?" Sidlifa asked, tilting her head before she could get her senses.
"Ask them yourself, and I'll answer the phone." Asker said this, picking up the vibrating phone on the table.
"Hey, are any of you using secret identities?" Sidlifa asked with a big grin over there, where Aske had already picked up the phone, and after a few words, his brow gradually furrowed.
"Sheila, Peggy, you two come with me."
