Holm led Josieu to his lodgings, a dilapidated room in the back kitchen of the tavern.

The lights in the room were dim, and Qiao Xiu heard a faint breathing sound as he walked into the room.

The baby girl written in the Dark Elf's information was lying on a bed made of several worn-out cotton cloths......

"Find me... Can I help you? ”

Home's voice was a little indistinct, he had been beaten badly, and by the dim light Qiao Xiu could see his bruised cheeks and the marks of bruises in his eye sockets.

The bruises made him look like a funny clown, and Holm was also concerned about the wounds on his face, keeping his head down when facing Josieu.

"Sit down first."

Joshua handed the only chair in the small room to Home.

Holm clearly knew that standing in front of him was the so-called 'big guy', the big guy he couldn't afford to mess with...... So Holm sat down in the chair very cooperatively.

Qiao Xiu moved another table in front of him, and found a chair to sit down with Holm face to face.

"Sir... If you want to buy that baby girl......"

Holm couldn't stand the interrogation-like atmosphere, and he finally spoke tentatively, Holm didn't think that the big man in front of him would come all the way for him, the little mouse......

The most likely is for the baby girl he adopted.

"Baby girl? I really care about that baby you adopted. Qiao Xiu glanced at the baby lying on the bed.

Although the dark elf reported to Qiao Xiu that her true race was a Chaos Demon, Qiao Xiu did not feel the aura of a Chaos Demon on her body......

"But this time I'm here specifically for you." Qiao Xiu once again looked at the down-and-out young man in front of him.

He may be going through the worst day of his life......

"Find... I? ”

Holm couldn't believe it, and he lifted his eyes, which were squinted from the bruising of his eyelids, and finally recognized who the big man was sitting in front of him.

"I... I remember you helped me out during the auditions, sir. ”

"It's not me helping you, it's that you've been recognized by me for your performance, and I'm here to congratulate you on making it to the semi-finals, and want to know if you're ready for the next show?"

When Qiao Xiu asked this question, Holm was stunned for a moment, his scarred hands suddenly clenched again, and his lips trembled slightly, and finally Holm lowered his head and did not dare to look at Qiao Xiu's eyes.

"I... I intend to abstain. He said this sentence as if his throat was choked, but in the end he held it back.

"Abstaining? Why... You still have a chance. ”

Holm didn't answer Josiu, but silently took out a somewhat worn piece of paper from the pocket of his clothes behind him.

This is an envelope, due to what happened just now, the envelope has been soaked with sewage, but Qiao Xiu can still vaguely see that it is Sir White Vitex's handwriting.

The content of the letter is probably to congratulate Holm on making it to the semi-finals, and explain in detail that the mechanics of the semi-finals belong to the 'ring'.

That is, one of the two singers will inevitably be eliminated, and the right to decide is still in the hands of the audience.

"Will you face the opera artist of Falosi in your next match? The popularity seems to be quite high. Jossiu glanced at the letter, and Holm's next match was against an opera artist who was well-known in Falossi.

"So sir... There was no way I could win, and the opera artist told me as I was leaving, if I quit... He will pay me ten denarii. ”

Holm tried to make himself happy as he spoke, but the trembling tone betrayed what he really thought.

"Ten gold coins? If you defeat the operatist, you'll win more than just ten gold! You just look down on your own music like that? What Josiu said stimulated a dull pain in Holm's heart.

"It's not that I look down on... Mr! It's Nolan that all the people look down on! Holm pressed his hands hard against his forehead, and his voice was full of choked voices, "Those things I sing... After all, it's just some unpopular garbage underground, how can it compare to the singing of those opera artists... There's simply no one in all of Nolan willing to take my music, or... It can't be called music at all. ”

"Then let them accept it." In the face of Holm's hoarse accusation, Qiao Xiu only responded to him with a very flat sentence.

"Sir, don't you understand! The people of Nolan simply can't understand my music. ”

"Then let them understand." Joshua responded to Holm very blandly.

But Josiu's response seemed to Holm to be completely incomprehensible to his difficult situation at this time, and Holm was about to say something to refute Josiu, but Josiu suddenly stood up and grabbed Holm by the collar.

"Listen up, boy... I know what you're trying to say, that your music is not popular in Nolan at all, and that the people of Nolan or the people of this world are only interested in opera! But that's not a reason for you to give up. Qiao Xiu's hand holding the collar lifted him directly, forcing Holm to stare at Qiao Xiu's dark pupils.

"But human taste is not constant, and what a true musician should do is not to follow trends, but to create them themselves! Do I understand what I'm saying? ”

Holm was a little suffocated at this time, and he could only keep nodding in order to let Qiao Xiu go, and Qiao Xiu also let go of the hand that grabbed him by the collar.

"But... But sir, I don't think... I can do it. ”

Holm's self-confidence had been shattered on stage at the last game, and he was already performing as hard as he could, and he could swear it was the best performance of his life.

But in the end, he was booed by the audience and countless voices calling for him to step down.

"It's true that you can't do it now, but that doesn't mean you can't do it in the future, you just need a little inspiration."

Josiu took out three pieces of paper and placed them on the table, and Holm saw the stave on the white paper...... And the lyrics that are written on it.

"If those people don't appreciate your music, let them know how great it is! The author of this song is one of the people I admire, and he used to be in a situation that was slightly more similar to yours. Joshua pushed the three pieces of stationery with the lyrics directly in front of Home, "But it's not easy for you to interpret this song perfectly, Home, I'm only going to give you this one chance, and you only have this one chance, either continue to be a rat in the squirrel street sewers, or... Let the entire Nolan audience remember your name. ”

Holm listened to Qiao Xiu's words quietly, he seemed a little overwhelmed, excitement and panic kept intertwining in his heart, and when Holm nervously picked up three pieces of letterhead, on the first letterhead, Holm clearly saw the name of the song "Lose· Yourself》
