Chapter 14: The Troubadour
In a room on the second floor of the barber shop, Manager Zhao and the Scarface man sat at the table.
"Come, try the green leaf tip tea I got from the whispering forest, and change the taste. ”
"Well, it's as sweet as water. ”
Known as Scarface, he tastes neither salty nor light.
"Haha, it's still not to your taste. ”
Store Manager Zhao took a sip and tasted it carefully.
"Look at you, the westward mission went smoothly this time. ”
Scarface puts down his teacup.
"It didn't go well, that thing appeared. ”
Store Manager Zhao gently blew the tea noodles.
"Looks like we're busy. ”
"That kind of treasure, almost all the forces want to get their hands on it, don't be dizzy. ”
"If you mix outside, you have to pursue it, or you will become mud in the river. ”
Scarface rubs his temples.
"What is the way of the girl who walked out before. ”
"A fire mage with a lot of cultivation. ”
"Sure enough, I still like the bursting taste, and the light is always like drinking cold water. ”
Scarface picked up his cup and looked at the teacup.
"Now that the whole country of the empire respects magicians, and all forces are encircling magicians who can be used for their own purposes, this mage I have sent an invitation on behalf of the family, as an old acquaintance, it is best not to commit any more crimes during this period, otherwise the elders will ...... there"
Store Manager Zhao put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at the scar on the other party's face and didn't say any more.
"Those rhinoceros skins are doing well, and you've made a lot of money, so why do you say that the more forbidden things are, the more attractive they are. ”
Scarface gulps down his tea.
Chris and his party walked to the central square of the city, and it was already completely dark. The empty square was already full of people at this time, and there were no riders in sight, after all, the ride at this time may not be as fast as walking.
"Uncle Chris, what are those people doing there?"
Ryan lay on Chris's back, and after resting for a while, his physical condition gradually recovered. On Chris's back, his vision widened a lot. He asked, looking at the place with the largest crowd around the square.
As far as the eye could see, there was a large crowd of people around the square near the notice board, and from time to time there were some lights and cheers or surprises from the crowd.
"They were troubadours, people who traveled through the continent, telling the world stories of their journeys or the legends of those heroes in their own way. ”
"Let's go and see, let's go and see. ”
When Jack heard that he was a troubadour, he took his mother's hand and walked that way. Completely ignoring the moment ago, he was angry with his parents for Ryan.
"But Ryan is still very weak, what if he needs to rest?"
Merlin playfully looked at Jack who was in a hurry.
Looking at Jack for a while at the crowd, and then at Ryan on his back, his eyes full of eagerness and hesitation, Chris couldn't help but laugh.
"Does Ryan want to check it out?"
Chris asked lightly, patting little Ryan on the back.
"I want to see it too. ”
Ryan looked at the time in the cracks of the crowd and the cheers of the people, and his eyes were bright.
Chris was about to walk with Ryan on his back, Ryan signaled that he was fine, and when he got off Chris's back, Little Jack couldn't wait to take Ryan's hand and drill into the crowd.
"Slow down!"
Chris glanced at Merlin and shrugged helplessly. A child is indeed a child.
Jack Klaa walked through the outer circle of three or five circles composed of adults with Ryan's car, but because he was too short to see the scene inside, he stopped for a moment and pulled little Ryan to continue to squeeze inside.
Jack caused a commotion where they had squeezed in, and the adults frowned and let them go inside, seeing that they were two children.
Ryan burrowed forward after Jack, like two rabbits tossing in the bushes. The figure in front of him slowly thinned out a little, and his eyes lit up, there were no tall adults in front of him, and some of them were small heads jumping in front of Ryan, and it turned out that there was already a group of children inside. Some watched the light beating in front of them, raised their hands excitedly and shouted with joy.
Little Ryan was quickly attracted by the white-bearded grandfather on a simple table in front of the child. To be precise, the light and shadow in front of the old man were attracted, and the glowing clouds and smoke changed the light, color, and shape under the rhythmic control of the old man's hands. Ryan's eyes looked straight at the clouds, smoke and light that looked like mountains, water, people, and beasts changing above the old man's hand, lifelike and vivid. With a deep and slightly hoarse voice telling the story of the current situation, there is just a sense of immersion. Let little Jack pull him to the front.
"What do you say about why he is always fainting and in a very bad state, what is the reason. ”
Chris and Merlin slowly paced towards the crowd.
"I guess I was tired of following Lao Lei outside, and I didn't keep up with nutrition and exercise, so I have to train them well when I go back, and I can definitely become an excellent fighter under my training....... Ouch!"
Chris gestured to dodge Merlene to kick him.
"Okay, no kidding, I think it's his innate intuition that is different from ordinary people's acuity, that Scarface's killing aura is very well converged, we won't be easy to tempt, but Ryan obviously won't restrain his ability yet, if he can use it freely, he will definitely be a great warrior in the future." ”
Chris looked in the direction the two little ones had burrowed into the crowd.
"Why do I think he's more interested in magic, you look at his eyes when he sees magic, his eyes are as bright as two stars, his sensitivity is keen, and he can better feel the fluctuations of magic, maybe he will be a great magician in the future. ”
"That's because he hasn't seen magic before, and he thinks it's fresh, and when he looks at it for a long time, it's no longer interesting. Fitness is directly displayed on the body, and the benefits will last a lifetime. ”
"Benefit for life, then may I ask you, Mr. Great Warrior, how long have you not subsidized your family? ”
Merlin playfully pulled out the purple card and dangled it in front of Chris. It shook Chris's scalp.
"Okay, okay, we're fighting here, maybe Ryan doesn't want to, anyway, I think we have the obligation to let him learn a craft, and have a better life in the future, don't be like Lao Lei, he can't do anything except fight, what age is it, and he still goes to the mountains and old forests to drill all the time." ”
Chris grabbed Merlene's hand with a numb scalp.
"I also agree with this, the times have changed, you can't be like your gang, except for fighting and killing, don't do anything serious, you see the village chief's son Captain Li, has a first-hand ability, not to mention the captain of the station, but also to guide the children part-time, take two salaries to go home, his daughter-in-law must have died happily. ”
Women have been dragons all their lives. He likes to shine things, he likes to sleep, and he likes to collect gold and silver jewelry endlessly.
Chris looked at Merlin and was about to start chattering again, shaking his head and muttering.
"What are you muttering again? ”
Merlene reached out and pinched the tenderest flesh around Chris's waist.
"It's nothing, look, when it comes to the exciting part of the story, it's the story of Dragon Quest again, hasn't that kid Jack seen it many times. ”
Chris took advantage of the situation to dodge Merlin's hand at the waist.
