Protagonist.

The protagonist is the soul of the story. "The protagonist must be the most important character." Authors will always invest more emotion in the protagonist because the protagonist is the character they mainly intend to portray. Without the protagonists of those memorable moments, many masterpieces would be overshadowed.

The protagonist will always encounter those most incredible coincidences, or save the day again and again in desperate situations. There are times when the protagonist is often the ideal projection of the author. Readers are accustomed to putting themselves in the shoes of the protagonists of the story, which is the joy of reading for many people.

……

The girl looked at John Goth in front of her. This unremarkable guy is the protagonist of her original work. Perhaps, destined to be the most incredible figure in this cloud world...... The most incredible aborigines.

"Is there anything on my face?" Seeing that the girl's expression was different, Goth asked with a puzzled expression.

"Nothing," said the maiden, who knew Goth's astonishing powers of observation, "your name gives me a sense of familiarity. She added slightly.

A quintessential fantasy protagonist, Johann Goth is a reassuring ally for his friends and a fearsome foe for his opponents. By the time John Goth was a child, he had become one of the most incredible spell-casting geniuses in the world. And now......

He has grown into a truly powerful mage.

The girl didn't want to be on the opposite side of Goth. Why should I be on the side of the French power in the future? Is it wrong to join the faction where the protagonist of the original work is?

Goth always pretended to be an ordinary businessman—he did have quite a few businesses—and kept a low profile. Few people were aware of his plans.

For ordinary people, John Goth's identity is a secret. But other genius mages may still have heard his name.

The character of Victoria Douglas was not in the original work, and the main character, Goth, probably did not meet her. However, Victoria is a new star that can be found in the latest edition of the "Mage Directory", and Goth has many sources of information, so it is not surprising that he has discovered a little clue of his true identity.

"He may have guessed that I was Victoria, the wizard of the Okad Federation, and that's why he came to test me," the girl thought quickly, "Chances were that Victoria had heard his name. I have a reaction to his name, maybe he will doubt me further. However, I am not the Victoria I used to be. His other temptations against Victoria didn't necessarily work for me, but at best made him suspicious. ”

So the girl made up her mind - to pretend to be stupid to the end.

You must know that although Goth is cunning, he is not evil. The girl thinks that he will never be able to disadvantage himself without knowing the situation. On the other hand, he can get more information about the world from Goth. Since this world follows the logic of "normal", many things can be deduced with a small amount of information.

Sure enough, seeing that the girl had a little reaction to her name, Goth frowned slightly: "This should be the first time we have met, Miss." ”

This must be the first time you and "I" have met, Mr. Goth! The girl complained in her heart, I don't remember I wrote the plot of your meeting with "me"!

She shook her head slowly, making a dazed and ignorant look: "I can't remember." ”

"I have not lost my memory, but I think I can understand your pain, Miss Victoria," said Goth softly, "and it is a terrible torment that many things may seem familiar to me but cannot remember. You don't have to be too frustrated, though. As I said before, you can get the best help in our French state. ”

"Lady Cervais is still busy, and it's not good for us to go back and disturb her," he said casually, "and we can go around first." Unfortunately, although I have been here a few times, I am not a good guide, please forgive me. His tone was natural, as if he had really remembered it suddenly.

“……”

All right. My beloved protagonist, disrespectful, disrespectful. You're really, as always, accustomed to grabbing every opportunity to rub girls in the face naturally.

Having said that, Goth's appearance is actually very dignified, much more handsome than his author, Wei Yuanhe, a literary and artistic young man from the earth.

…… Men always want their ideal projection to be handsome and graceful, what's wrong with that?

"Of course," said the girl quietly after a moment's hesitation, "I had planned to take a walk around the neighborhood - I had been in my room for the past few days, and I didn't want to go back so early. ”

"It is my pleasure, Miss Victoria." Goth bowed slightly. He narrowed his eyes, not knowing if he had seen through Victoria's belly.

The two walked on the streets of the city. The warm sunlight shone on the girl's cheeks, making her feel warm.

The work of carrying the bag was naturally handed over to Goth.

Along the way, the girl looked around curiously: although she was a literary and artistic youth in her previous life, she was not a person who loved travel, and she had never even left her motherland.

"This is the border of the French state," said Goethe indifferently, "although it is a 'city,' it is somewhat dilapidated." Please don't care. ”

This must be showing off, the girl complained in her heart. Is this also called "rundown"?

As a liberal arts student through and through, the girl didn't know anything about architecture. But unlike the ancient city in her impression, the girl has seen a lot of two- or three-story buildings in this city, or even higher, and the exterior decoration is also very decent. And in the real European Middle Ages, in the darkest hour, the king's palace looked like a large quadrangle!

The productivity of this world—certainly with the assistance of the mages—is clearly far beyond that.

However, for the young girl living in the metropolis of the earth, Goth's invisible boasting is meaningless...... Ten times more grandiose is meaningless. The only thing the girl cares about is the common sense in this world that she doesn't know yet.

"I don't know much about architecture," the girl tried to keep her tone as usual, "I don't know ...... great architects and craftsmen of the French kingdom of Erios"

"Mostly the great and broad-minded mages, Miss Victoria." Goethe confidently said, "With the help of spells, such as 'shaping stones' and 'fossils into clay', the whimsical ideas of architects and stonemasons can be realized." Mage Elrios was one of the first mages to study 'Kiln Enchantment', allowing ordinary people to produce precious building materials on a large scale, and these methods are now widely adopted. Unlike the arrogant mages abroad, we pay great attention to the connection with ordinary people......"

He went on and on with the tone of a teacher's lecture—and it took the girl a long time to remember that her "original identity"—Victoria Douglas—was probably included in what Goth called "a proud mage abroad."

"If I were the original Victoria...... "the girl said in her heart, "I might have reacted a little immediately to his words." Unfortunately, I'm not. ”

Although the young mage acted as if he were merely showing his erudition in front of the lady, the girl was almost sure that Goth was testing herself.

……

The two walked and talked. Slowly, the girl felt a wave of visceral exhaustion.

"I'm tired." She said decisively. This fatigue is not only mental. Wei Yuanhe, a young man from Earth, is often ridiculed for his weak physique (he always fails his physical education class and needs to take a make-up exam), and Victoria, a girl from another world, has a worse body than she used to be: she can't walk half a street, and she already feels like she's going to be out of breath.

It probably has something to do with the fact that she has been lying in bed for too long, the girl thinks resentfully, of course, Victoria in the past is a super otaku girl beyond imagination. It's time to create a workout plan for yourself.

"Let's rest for a while," Goth shrugged and led the girl to the bench beside the road, "it's my responsibility, your body isn't fully recovered." ”

Out of nowhere, he pulled out a cushion and placed it on the bench: "Please sit here." ”

Although the original book he wrote often describes the plot of Goth frowning and taking out some small props from his pocket, he is still very shocked to see it with his own eyes. The real body of this product is a blue chubby cat-type robot with a pocket belly in a certain comic, can't it?

As if knowing what the girl was thinking, Goth said, "I have a miniature dimensional bag attached to my coat pocket. You know, as merchants, we always have to prepare some goods in case we need them. ”

“……”

There really are four-dimensional pockets, you.

Then again, why should a businessman carry goods in his pocket "just in case"? Salesmanship?

"I was just thinking," said Goth, and as he watched the thoughtless girl sit down on the cushion, he showed his trademark smile, "and I was not very polite when we first met: for a young lady like you, there is no reason not to prepare a present." ”

"How embarrassing is this...... the girl excused herself, thinking about his intentions. If it were an ordinary woman, she might really just suspect that Goth was going to sell or flirt with girls, but the girl knew that he was not that simple.

"The so-called gifts, of course, are given to you for free, how can there be any reason to receive money." I only heard Goth confidently say, "To show my sincerity, um...... I'll just buy something from nearby that suits you. ”

Looks like you're still a little self-aware, the girl thought. You can't believe the thing that came out of your mysterious treasure's pocket: who knows if there's a miniature tracker or anything like that. The girl remembers clearly that she had written this strange spell in the original work.

Gothic turned and walked across the street to the jewelry stand. The girl watched as he negotiated with the stall owner, as if she was haggling fiercely. Soon, he returned, holding a silver bracelet in his hand.

"I was going to pack it up, but that would be hypocritical," said Goth, mildly, "and a glamorous lady like you needs some jewelry to show off your beauty." It's a pity that this is a small place, and there is only this kind of non-grade thing. ”

"Enough is enough. Thank you so much. The girl thought about it for a moment, and put the bracelet on her wrist. Jewelry wasn't the thing she wanted most, and if she could pick a gift, she would probably choose a set that would be smaller and carry around an encyclopedia or something like that (she was convinced that John Gort could handle such a quirky thing). Walking in the unknown, nothing is more important than knowledge. As for the bracelet...... She believes that the things sold at the roadside stalls are never real silver......

"Maybe you need a ring, or a necklace," says Gort, "and there's nothing like jewelry to show a woman's status." In addition to this...... "he paused," jewelry can also convey more information and save you from some unnecessary harassment. ”

I see, I see, I see, I see. I don't know what the customs of this world are like? If the customs of this world were the same as those of the earth, you could wear rings on your little finger in the future to drive away some unpleasant men......

It's a pity that the protagonist in front of me can't be immediately put on the list of "undesirables".

"Let's go back!" After a while, the girl stood up contentedly. There is a lot of information that can be mined from Goth, but he may not be in a hurry.

She didn't notice it, and just as she turned away, a satisfied smile seemed to appear on Goth's lips.
