Chapter 54: Alyssa's Thanksgiving
"Alyssa? How could she be here? ”
At the same time that Chu Ge saw Alyssa, Alyssa also discovered him.
At this moment, there was an obvious stunned look on the girl's face, and then it instantly turned into a faint surprise, and after making a waiting gesture to Chu Ge, she quickly ran back to the small building.
It didn't take long for Alyssa to come out of the small building, and she could see that she looked very good, at least much better than she had been on the train yesterday.
"Why are you here?" The girl didn't show much reserve, and asked directly.
This question is also what Chu Ge wanted to ask, he smiled and spread his hands and said:
"I'm just here to beg for a living, I'm penniless now, if I want to be lazy, I'll have to wait for death, but fortunately, I got the help of a kind person who introduced me to a job here."
Logically he wasn't lying, but Alyssa didn't seem to believe him.
The girl's brows furrowed slightly, although she couldn't find the flaws in Chu Ge's words, she always felt that something was weird,
"Begging for a living? By the way, your accent is not from the East County area, so why did you travel all the way to Midgard? ”
Chu Ge smiled bitterly and said:
"Do you have military blood in your body? It's really sensitive. ”
"As for why I'm here...... Of course, I was bored in the countryside, and I wanted to come to the outside world to open my eyes and see if there was a chance to get ahead. ”
"But it seems unlikely, although I have only been here for two days, but the atmosphere of Midgar is really not suitable for me, everyone is not friendly to each other at all, the manor is fine, after leaving the manor, it seems that everyone has become their enemy...... I'm going to go to the royal capital after a while to see if there's anything different. ”
After sighing, Chu Ge continued to ask:
"What about you? Why are you here, did you come here directly after you left yesterday? ”
For some reason, Alyssa's face was a little strange at this moment, she hesitated slightly, and then said:
"I left yesterday to see my father's old friend, and then the uncle asked Sister Petra to bring me here for a while, saying that he would let me go after he had found all the things he had brought to my father."
"Actually, this is also my first time in Midgar, I have been living in other cities in East County with Mama Kaxi before, this time I will only leave my hometown after receiving a letter from my father, but I have to come to Midgar before going to my father."
Originally, Alyssa was going to find an excuse to fool the past, and she didn't want to let too disparate identities cause a gap between the two.
But if she was talking nonsense, maybe one day Mama Ka Xi or the guard sent by the city lord would expose her lies, so she had to say something half-truthfully.
In fact, the city lord originally planned to send her a third-order guard, but she resolutely refused, and in the end only sent a mid-second-order guard to accompany her.
"You can tell Lord Petra that your father's friend must be a great man."
Alyssa didn't seem to want to talk too much about this topic, she blinked her eyes and recalled the events on the train, and said to Chu Ge:
"Do you remember what happened on the train at that time?" She seemed to have discovered where her strange feeling came from.
Chu Ge replied:
"I'm not very confident in my memory, but I still remember what happened yesterday morning."
Alyssa immediately squinted and asked:
"I don't remember telling you about the special effect of [Hunt], why did you know that it has the ability to shoot directly at high speeds?"
When he was on the train yesterday, in order to achieve the purpose of derailing the head of the train, Chu Ge asked Alyssa to destroy the track with a shot, and in order to reassure everyone, he also specially said the ability of high-speed direct shooting.
"That's what you say......"
Chu Ge smiled, he had already figured out how to lie when he said this yesterday,
"Five years ago, I saw an almost identical longbow at the Winter Veil Festival in the city, and the noble lord had an exaggerated expression when he showed it off, so it made a deep impression on me, and I recognized it when you took it out."
"It's as simple as that?"
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the truth to be like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated for a while, originally she thought she had captured some key information.
"It's as simple as that." Chu Ge nodded affirmatively.
Alyssa sighed:
"I thought you were as special as Lei Zhen and them."
Chu Ge asked curiously:
"Lei Zhen? Special? Why? ”
Alyssa glanced at Chu Ge and said:
"Speaking of which, you were really big enough at the time to let Ye Ye do such a thing as forcibly stopping the train. Later, that uncle told me that judging from the traces of the scene, even if you have third-order strength, you may not be able to do that kind of thing! ”
"That's a third-order, not to mention that Yeye's age doesn't look like he's fifteen years old, I'm afraid no one will believe this kind of news!"
"Although I already had a premonition when I opened the iron door of the carriage every night, I didn't expect that she really had a third-order level, and now my uncle is looking for her all over the world, thinking about what this year's autumn trials are all counting on her."
The Fall Tryouts is a comprehensive competition between the four top academies of the Alkaya Empire, and there are still about five months to go, and the winner will not only receive the rich rewards of the Empire, but more importantly, the glory of the winner!
With the strength of Ye Ye, if Lei Zhen releases various states in advance, it should not be too difficult to win the championship of the individual competition.
However, Chu Ge was a little strange that such a "genius" appeared out of thin air and then disappeared quickly, didn't the top of Midgar have any suspicions?
- Maybe I just didn't tell her, after all, they are companions who have experienced life and death together, and if she makes random conclusions without really finding evidence, it will probably make her sad.
Looking at Alyssa's beautiful face, Chu Ge thought so.
"What are you looking at?"
After discovering Chu Ge's somewhat scorching gaze, Alyssa was somehow a little irritable, frowning and reprimanding.
"Na...... It's almost time, and I still have work to do tomorrow, so I won't disturb your rest. ”
It was really an unexpected gain to meet Yalisa, and Chu Ge waved his hand at the other party, signaling that he was ready to leave.
Looking at Chu Ge's departing back, Alyssa bit her lip lightly, stood in place and hesitated for a few seconds, and then said with a red face as if she had made up her mind:
"Thank you, thank you for saving me at that time!"
Although the voice was not very loud, it sounded exceptionally clear under the quiet night moon.
Chu Ge's body stopped, he turned around and said with a smile:
"Why thank you, isn't that right?"
"Deservedly ......?"
"It's like you're willing to risk your life to save other people."
He didn't intend to give his heart to Alyssa, and if there were no accidents, he would have guessed Alyssa's true identity.
This good card must definitely be grasped in the hand, if played well, it may become the winner of the royal capital!
