Chapter 44: The Puppet

The emergence of this thousand-year-old blood clan has to start from half a month ago......

It was a normal day, with people coming and going on the streets.

Mai Weig sits in the shop, tending to her artworks, watching passers-by through the doors and windows, looking for inspiration for her next puppet.

"Jingle bell!"

The iron bell hanging on the door rang.

Mai Wei looked up and saw that it was the son of the Van Zhuo family, the Count of Galo, and he was accompanied by a tall man in a black robe, and when the man lifted the hat covering his head, a resolute face appeared in front of Mai Wei's eyes.

The man had a distinctive and conspicuous pair of purple-gold eyes, and Mai Weig quickly confirmed that the man was a thousand-year-old bloodline.

He has dark hair, cold eyes, thin lips, and looks unsmiling, and he is not very approachable.

As a member of the Toledo bloodline, Mai Wei's keen aesthetic was immediately attracted by Jue's delicate face, and he quickly formed the prototype in his mind that the next puppet would be satisfied.

Before Galo could speak, Mai Wei greeted him, and his eyes were full of Jue's figure, he looked up and down at this perfect blood clan, his eyes could not be taken away from him for a long time, and the color of appreciation was on his face, without concealment.

Jue didn't care that Mai Wei threw such a rude and frivolous gaze at him, and even let him take out his measuring stick, compare up and down, and measure.

Galo on the side watched the whole time, and he didn't want to stop Mai Wei's thoughts, because before he came, Jia Luo had already told Jue about Mai Wei's character, and he never skimped on his appreciation of beautiful things, and even became quite obsessed.

"Can I make you a model for my puppet?"

Maivay smiled, the anticipation in her eyes unadorned.

"Yes!"

Jue behaved indifferently, and cooperated with Mai Wei, raised his arm, and turned around under his instructions.

After a long period of tossing, Mai Weig finally recorded all the data contentedly. Then take out your own materials and prepare for proportional reduction.

Seeing that Mai Weig was a little stunned, Galo pulled him back to reality with a loud voice, this guy had been hanging them for a long time.

"Ahem!"

Galo feigned coughing, took the wood from Mai Wei's hand, put it aside gently, and then crossed his hands in front of his chest, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you going to slow down the guests?" ”

Mai Wei put down the carving knife in his hand, was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses and sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm so happy!" ”

He stood up, bypassed the two of them, walked to the door of the store, hung up the closing sign, closed the door, and lowered the roller blinds to cover the doors and windows.

Then he took out his treasured wine, put two wine glasses on the table, and handed them to Jue and Jialuo.

"I don't know, this distinguished guest is here, is there anything I need help with?"

Mai Wei looked at Jue and Galo sincerely, acting like an aristocratic gentleman of high society.

Jue took the wine glass and didn't plan to drink it, he put down the wine glass, stared at Mai Wei with his incomprehensible eyes like an abyss, and said in a sincere tone: "I hope you can borrow my puppet." ”

Mai Wei's face was obviously surprised, and without the slightest hesitation, he refused: "No way, if you want to fight our idea of the Toredo Clan's holy weapon, then please go back the way you came!" ”

It was expected that Mai Wei's attitude would be very tough, and Jue was not surprised.

But Galo on the side was anxious: "We desperately drove from the small town in the south for three days and nights to come here, and you just let us get out?" ”

"If I had known that you were here to pay attention to the Hallows, I wouldn't have let you enter this door!"

Maivay's attitude was very different from before, as if he did not welcome them.

"Hey, you guy, you used to be enthusiastic about using people as models, and now you're going to-"

Before Galo's words were finished, he was signaled by Jue's eyes, and reluctantly swallowed it back into his stomach, he promised to help Jue with anything, but now that he has found an opportunity, Galo must do his best.

Three days ago.

Just as the army was about to set off for Kroya, Jue secretly approached him, and upon learning of the situation, Prince Bedren promised to leave some of the blood guards to deal with the invaders.

In order to avoid any trouble, Galo concealed Jue's presence in the camp from Han Qingluo, and asked her father to take care of her and Lilian and take them back to Bevo Manor in Kroadi.

After his father and the others left, Garrow left the remaining blood guards on standby in the small city, while he accompanied Jue to find the third contract master of the Torredo Blood Hallows, Mai Wei.

In Jue's plan, he needs the help of the Toredo Blood Clan Hallows Puppet.

Although this request was obviously very difficult - the Blood Clan Artifact was not a stall and could be borrowed and borrowed at will, but for the sake of their friendship, Galo agreed to give it a try.

Seven days was very short, and Jue and Galo opened their blood and rushed all the way from the small town in the south to the capital of Croia.

At sunset on the third day, they arrived in the capital, and they were expected to travel faster than Han Qingluo.

But now, it's not easy to meet, this guy Mai Wei's guy turned his face so quickly to drive people away, isn't the hard work of the past few days in vain?

"The Sacred Puppet of the Torredo Bloodline, sucking the blood of a human or a Bloodline can transform into its form, thinking and feeling, I need it to help me! Much needed! ”

Jue directly stated his purpose straight to the point, and his attitude was that he would not give up without the help of the puppet.

"It's impossible, just because I've been a model for a while, I want to borrow my puppet, it's just whimsical!"

Mai Weig held up the curtain with a wooden bracket and opened the door, making a gesture to chase away the guests.

"I can grant you anything, as long as you are willing to lend me a puppet!"

Jue continued to speak, trying to convince the stubborn guy.

Galo on the side stopped in front of Mai Wei, preventing him from opening the door.

Toredo, who are a group of soft and weak bloods, are not the material for fighting, and when he saw Garlo's threatening smile, he turned back in recognition and reluctantly threw the wooden frame aside to show his anger.

Mai Weig waved his hand, sat down on the edge of his workbench, and said impatiently, "Don't waste your tongue anymore, I won't agree!" ”

After that, he picked up the wood on the side and planned to carve it, and as long as he ignored them, they would automatically leave when they got impatient.

Unexpectedly, Jue and Jia Luo simply sat around him and began to watch his creations.

Mai Wei glanced at them helplessly, and continued to bury himself in his business.

Minutes and seconds passed.

It's late at night.

The candles of the candlesticks on the table have burned to the bottom.

When Maivay wanted to change the candle, a slender hand was already holding a lit candle and inserting it into the groove.

"Please!"

Mai Wei was a little surprised, and glanced at Jue, he was gentlemanly and polite, with a smile on his lips that did not lose distance, and Mai Wei was stunned again......

Jue chuckled and sat back in his place, and Mai Wei realized his gaffe and lowered his head in disapproval.

The puppet in his hand gradually appeared, and the more Mai Wei looked at it, the more embarrassed he felt, glanced at Jue in embarrassment, and muttered, "I didn't carve it like you." ”

Jue's face was leisurely and smiled: "It's a perfect work of art, I like it very much!" ”

Hearing his praise, Mai Wei's heart was a little proud, and he still pretended not to care: "This is just a half-finished product, how can it be perfect?" I won't agree to borrow your puppet just because of your compliment! Stop dreaming! ”

"Everything that has been created with care, I think is perfect!"

Jue looked at the puppet in Mai Wei's hand, and then turned his gaze to Mai Wei.

Mai Wei looked at the puppet in his hand and then looked at Jue, whether a person is sincere or not can be seen, at least now he can feel his sincerity when he looks at Jue.

He raised his eyebrows, took out the colored paint, and said nonchalantly: "So, tell me, what is the perfect art for me?" ”

Jue narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer this question right away." Perhaps, stay here for a day and I'll find out! ”

Mai Wei's shrugged and smiled, and began to color the puppet according to Jue's appearance.

Jue just watched quietly, did not speak again, occasionally cooperated with Mai Wei, and sometimes put forward some pertinent suggestions for modification.

During the conversation, Mai Weig would be surprised and delighted by the new ideas, and his smile never stopped during the creation.

Galo, who was waiting on the side, had already collapsed on the sofa due to the exhaustion of the day and night, and fell into a short hibernation.

……

The dim candlelight, flickering.

Make the little room feel warm and harmonious.

The wax fills up and dripped down the gap, and the cycle repeats until the whole candle burns out again, cooling and solidifying on the holder.

After nailing the puppet's clothes, Mai Weig held it and put it in front of his eyes to see: "What a delicate work of art! ”

"Take it!"

Mai Weig handed the puppet to Jue, patted Jue's hand affectionately, hummed a little song, walked briskly to the room, and took out a long box.

Pushing away the messy table, he put the box away, and carefully retrieved the puppet from Jue's hand and placed it in a box full of soft dead grass.

After doing all this, Mai Wei clasped his hands together and smiled contentedly: "This is the first time I have completed a satisfactory work so quickly!" ”

"You should give it a name!"

When Mai Wei's words were heard, he raised his hand and rubbed his chin, looking at the puppet in the box and thinking deeply.

"Mysterious Kaidra!"

McVey's eyes lit up and she said aloud.

"Wonderful!" Jue Ying agreed and applauded, "Kaizhuo here is the word kindred, right?" ”

"Your understanding is very correct!" Mai Wei cast an appreciative look at Jue, walked inside with the box, and beckoned Jue: "Follow me!" ”

Come to the inner room.

Rows of puppets were neatly placed in the cabinet, and Mai Wei placed Kaizhuo and introduced Jue to the opportunities for creating the puppets one by one.

As a loyal listener, Jue listened to Mai Wei's endless and energetic introduction of the puppets' stories.

After the introduction, Mai Wei let out a long sigh of emotion and turned his head to look out the window, it was already daylight.

"It's so fast, a night has passed!"

"Yes."

"So!" Mai Wei smiled and stood facing Jue, "Do you have an answer to my question?" ”
