Chapter 3: Jessica and Avril 2
Half a year later, Xiaojie's body has initially grown, officially announced his weaning, and can communicate with Avril Lavigne in fluent Japanese. In fact, other children are not as rebellious as Xiaojie when they are half a year old, if they are put in an ordinary family, Xiaojie's performance is not regarded as a freak by his parents. But Avril is a dragon and doesn't know about human development, so she doesn't think it's strange.
The past half a year has passed very peacefully, Avril and Xiaojie have been living on this island and have never left, there is only Avril on the island, a smart creature, and there is no one else inhabited. And since that day, Avril has always maintained her dragon form, as if the girl's figure is just Xiaojie's fantasy. It's a pity that Xiaojie is a baby with adult thinking, although Avril doesn't know why she wants to hide this fact, but Xiaojie didn't expose it, and there is something unavoidable to think about it.
"Na, Avril," Avril called her name directly, and Xiaojie had no choice but to obey. "I'll talk to you about something." "What's wrong, little Jesse." Avril lay on the ground and twisted her huge body, and said lazily. The corners of Xiao Jie's mouth twitched. "That's what I'm going to tell you." Xiaojie's emotions were a little excited. "I'm a man, and this soft name doesn't suit me, it doesn't show off my temperament at all. Can't you change your name? Xiaojie felt a little like crying, and when he found out that this new name was so feminine, he was scared to touch the underneath, thinking that he had accidentally reborn as a woman. I was shocked into a cold sweat. "What's so bad? It's my masterpiece. And you're the 'God Baby' Jessie, aren't you? β
Don't say such shy things so bluntly! Xiao Jie's dizzy blood rushed to his brain, making his little face red: "It's all said no, no, it's not good!! "It's really a little kid, it's not cute at all, don't do it, I'm just going to call Jesse, Jesse Jesse is a treasure given to me by God!" Who is the child who loves to play with a little temperament, Xiao Jie looked at his eyes tightly and shook his head vigorously with a headache, and almost thought to Avril who was rolling on the ground. But this is a matter that cannot be compromised, and it is a matter of manly dignity.
"Avril."
"Don't."
"Listen to me."
"Don't."
No, I can't listen to it at all.
Xiaojie thinks that two are big, and now it seems impossible to get Avril to change this title. "Can't you be accommodating?" Xiao Jie asked with the last glimmer of expectation. "Never!" Finished. It seems that I'm going to wear this sissy name for the rest of my life, and I can't take it off even if I'm dead. As soon as he thought of the strange eyes of outsiders when he went out to the civilized society outside, Xiao Jie felt that his eyes were dark. Suddenly, Xiao Jie had a flash of inspiration, as if he remembered something.
"Now, Avril Avril, you said that name means 'a gift from heaven,' right?" Xiaojie asked a little shyly. It's shameful enough to hear Avril say this, and it's even more embarrassing when she says it. Avril heard Xiaojie ask this question and immediately replied without thinking: "Of course, how many times do you think I have repeated it." "Then I should be your unique gift, how can you share this 'God-given gift' with others?" I'm so sad. "But," Avril seemed to be at a loss for the moment. Seeing that the plan seemed to be working, Xiaojie worked harder to induce, just like the expression of the big bad wolf kidnapping the little white rabbit. "So, that's what I thought, just use Jesse as my nickname, nickname, or whatever. I usually use other names when talking to people outside. You see, it won't work. β
That's right, this is Xiaojie's plan, since Avril can't change her words, let her call it, as long as the people outside don't call it that. Anyway, no one else will know that his name will be preserved. Avril was visibly shaken, and she didn't shake anymore. Stand still and do a fierce ideological struggle. "It seems like it's not bad, but it seems that there's something wrong." Xiao Jie thought about it, and then asked the big bad wolf to take out a lollipop and put on a strange expression, and said to Little Red Riding Hood: "In this way, this name will become an exclusive secret for the two of us, Avril, don't you want to have another common secret with me?" As soon as the common secret came out, Avril surrendered almost immediately: "Well, it looks like it's funny." βyesοΌ Xiaojie almost jumped up with joy, "Then without further ado, let's discuss what kind of name we should choose." As he spoke, a few options popped into his mind. Long Aotian or something poss these are too brain-dead, when you go out to mix, you are embarrassed to sign up, and the Chinese name can be given up, this world is a little strange, obviously the name is Western, the common language is Japanese, or a foreign name is a little mixed. Schwarzenegger? Domineering enough. Edward? Justin?
"Let's call Jessica if it's decided!"
Well?!
Well!!!
"Avril what you just said, you spoke too fast." Xiaojie, who was still immersed in the name, seemed to have heard something, but he couldn't be sure. "I mean, your name is Jessica, that's nice, isn't it?" "Xiaojie is gone, and the opportunity he finally got seems to be slipping away, so he has to chase it back." Now, I'm writing to you to see Jessie Jessica, isn't that different? "It's different, it's just a letter. There is basically no difference! "Xiaojie is going crazy, why does this name look so cute than the previous one? Where is the manhood? Avril said with an innocent face: "But aren't nicknames, nicknames, or other abbreviations and deformations developed from their real names?" "Ah, it seems like that's true, but why do you still feel a little wrong? If Xiao Jie looks in the mirror, he can find that his current expression is very similar to Avril who has just been fooled.
Xiao Jie, who was pulling his scalp hard, rubbed the corner of his eye, as if he saw a touch of banter and cunning in Avril's eyes. Oh! It's your old man playing with me just now. Xiao Jie suddenly hated itchy. After seeing Xiaojie discover his little trick, Avril also put away her jokes. "Okay, since you have no opinion, you have decided to do so, from now on your name will be Jessica, and only I can call you Jessie, this is the secret of the two of us." What else can I do? I can only admit it, and it is useless to put forward more opinions. This little Jay, oh no, it should be said that Jessica has just personally certified it.
Jessica completely gave up the right to name her name, but it was rare for the topic to be so open that Jessica asked a question she had always wanted to ask: "Avril, can you tell me about the outside world?" I haven't been out of the island yet, what is it like outside? I want to know! Speaking of which, Jessica also screamed a little, which gave him goosebumps. But Avril looked very useful. "Well, you've grown up, it's time to tell you this."
Avril adjusted her posture to make her body more comfortable, and said in a reminiscent tone, "So where to start?" Well, first of all, there are a lot of people in the outside world, men and women, old and young, good and bad" Jessica was drowsy when she heard it, but she couldn't interrupt and said I know what you said, Lao Tzu is a traverser, and in his previous life, he had seen countless human beings on the earth, not only men and women, but even shemales. Tell me something unique to this otherworld. But he couldn't, Avril had been with him since he had brought him to the island, and had never gone out, and theoretically he wouldn't have known about it. And in normal thinking, this is indeed something that little ghosts like to hear. The vast world and all kinds of characters are no less than the existence of another world for children who have never seen the world.
"The state and the union of those people are on the continent of Earthland" and so on, what did Avril just say? Jessica, who heard that she was about to doze off, was shocked, wiped the saliva that flowed out, and stared at Avril vigorously. Continent? Acerant? Trade union? Several emerging nouns caught Jessica's attention.
"Unions ? What kind of union is it? Is it the Warriors' Guild, the Wizards' Guild, the Assassins' Guild or something? Jessica interrupted excitedly. What is that? Avril asked him with a strange look. Jessica froze instantly. Avril ignored him and continued: "The union, well, when it comes to the union, I'll explain it to you in detail." There are two main types of unions, the Wizard Guild and the Mercenary Guild. Well, the Mercenary Guild aside, the Wizard Guild is an organization that mediates the work of the Magiers from finding objects to crusading against monsters, and the members of the Guild are composed of many powerful Magi. And there are a lot of them in the Wizards Guild."
Magician?! Trade union?! In my memory, there are only two places where the magician appears as a profession rather than a cultivation system, one is the show of the magician, and the other is the tail of the ββββββββ fairy.
"Magician is a collective name for a group of people who use magic, and it is also divided into many professions in detail, such as Star Spirit Magician, such as Dragon Slayer Magician" can't be wrong, this is the world of Fairy Tail! No wonder the lingua franca of this world is Japanese! Jessica was excited, Demon Tail was his favorite. The continent of Esslant is a magical world. The social form is more or less a mixture of medieval Europe and modern styles, coupled with a unique magical system, in this continent people believe that everything in heaven and earth is made of magic, even the air is full of magic, and some people can combine with the magic in nature through psychic induction, so as to use magic. Magic is ordinary*, deeply penetrated into people's lives, but not all people can use magic, so the need arises, and some people manipulate magic and make a living from it, people call them magicians. The Wizards belong to different guilds to receive commissions and complete their work, just like a chamber of commerce where merchants gather, and a guild group of a group of magicians is called the Wizards Guild. There are hundreds of guilds all over the world. The job of the guild members is to solve the tasks entrusted to them by ordinary people. Tasks such as crusading against monsters or finding things are common, and as long as they accept the commission, the mages are obligated to complete it as best they can, and then they will be paid money or treasures by the client.
And magic is also classified, and magic systems can be divided into two main categories. One is the "holding system" that can only be used by using magic items with one's own magic power, such as Lucy's astral magic, which requires holding the key to the door and summoning the astral spirit through the key for battle. In order to use the astral magic, you must first make a master-servant contract with the astral spirit through the key, and discuss the conditions of the summoning contract in detail and must not violate the contents of the contract. This spell can only be summoned by the contractor and cannot be used by anyone else (unless the contractor dies or is arrested, the contract can be broken and the owner can be found). After signing a contract with the star spirit to which the key belongs, they can use the key to open the door of the star spirit realm and summon the star spirit to fight or help themselves. And the second is the ability system, this kind of everyone should be more familiar with, different from typical Western magic, to recite spells, there is a clear level of magic apprentice, magic master, magic god or something, except because of the magic of the teacher, attributes, occupation, and magic circle to do some division, it is not much different from urban abilities. Because there are all kinds of magic there, there are Natsu and Romeo, the kind of magic that you know is playing with fire at a glance, and there is also the magic of the Arc of Manifestation and the kind of magic that you don't know at all.
That's all for the introduction of Acerant, Avril has been in a daze for a long time, her face will change for a while, and she seems to be making a decision. Finally, Avril's expression steadied and Jessica said in a solemn tone that had never been seen before: "Little Jesse, listen well, magic is the theme song of this world, and it is something that can only be achieved with a strong heart, a firm obsession, and a determination to devote one's heart and soul to it. I ask you, what does 'magic' mean to you!? Jessica was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly wanted to answer. Okay, you can just keep this sentence in your heart, you don't need to tell me now, it will take you a lifetime to think about it, as long as you are still pursuing. Avril interrupted Jessica's answer, and said it in a serious voice.
Jessica, who had never seen Avril so serious, had a good attitude and engraved this sentence in her heart. After seeing Jessica memorize this sentence, Avril continued: "On the mainland, even if everyone is a magician, the magic they use is different, it varies from person to person, teachers, talents, beliefs, hearts, etc. will have a great impact, and it is almost difficult to see the same magic. The same teacher, who is also a magician who controls ice, but the magic used by the two people is very different. Jessica nodded in agreement, she was also a disciple of Uru, and Urrutia's ice magic was the same as hers, but Gray and Leo were one hundred and eight thousand miles apart. But some of the magic in general has been integrated to form a system and a lineage. Avril paused. Jessica's heart was about to fall out with excitement, and he already knew what was going to happen next. "Now I'm going to teach you magic, an ancient magic that is thought to have been lost." Avril's face was solemn and sacred, like a priest reading the Bible in a church. Jessica's heart was about to jump out. Magic, what a mysterious word, in the modern age where science and technology and civilization are supreme, it is also a treasure that countless people have longed for, pursued for thousands of years. Now he's finally got it, Jessica. This can't help but make Jessica feel the urge to burst into tears, since she fell into this world, since she saw Avril's water blade magic, since she soared in the sky, half a year, half a year since she thought about it day and night, but she couldn't ask Avril directly, she had been waiting until now, is it easy for me. It's finally here, my magic, mine
"Pseudo-Niang Transformation Technique!" That's right, the pseudo-mother transformation technique! Well?! Pseudo-Niang Transformation Technique!? Looking at Jessica's appearance, Avril Avril said without changing her face, "Oh, it's wrong, it's dragon slaying magic." "Damn, this Avril. Jessica, who had been badly wounded in the heart, thought hatefully.
