Chapter 2: My Confusion: 10. The beautiful mage is invited
I followed Bakken to his house, and in the hall of his house stood several people, led by Archmage Aya, and then the head of the tribe, Bakken's father. There is also Uncle Guge and a strange middle-aged man. What made me strange was that Li Lili was standing there with Dole. When they saw me, they saluted together. I'm a little puzzled, I don't know what they are trying to do with this kind of posture. I cautiously returned the salute.
Everyone sat in a group in the hall. Bakken's father said that yesterday was busy and had neglected me. When I got back, I asked Bakken to carry my luggage, and he had already prepared a house at home, hoping that I would be able to come and live in it.
I said first of all, I thank the tribe for their concern, and I received it. But I came with an expedition team, and it was not appropriate for me to act alone.
Next, Uncle Guge seemed casual, but in fact he took the trouble to inquire about my origin and experience. At that moment, I suddenly had the feeling that my son-in-law was coming to the door and was being inspected by the woman's mother's family. I'll just talk about myself. I knew that Li Lili must have told them about my situation. Li Lili and I have known each other for many years and have a basic understanding of my affairs.
After some small talk, the leader of the tribe finally got to the point. He said that their tribe has always had a special respect for those who have the ability. He wanted me to teach some skills to the tribesmen. As he spoke, he looked at Dole, who had been standing on the side silently.
It was only then that I understood what they were looking for me.
The strange middle-aged man opened his mouth at this time. I learned that this middle-aged man was Dore's father. Dole's father said that Dole admired my skills very much and wanted to be my apprentice. So he begged the leader to come forward, hoping that I would not be stupid enough to take him as an apprentice.
Li Lili also interjected and said, "Boss, this is a good thing. You didn't see Doler's eyes light up when he told you just now. He's a big fan of yours. If you don't take it, you won't be able to afford him. ……”
I was angry with what Li Lili did in the morning, and when I heard that he was doing a good job here again, I unceremoniously interrupted Li Lili, "You kid, go where it's cool." I'm annoyed when I see you. ”
I turned my head back to the tribal leader and Dore's father, "I'm flattered that you think so highly of me. It's just that I can't handle this kind of thing. One is that I myself have seen such unsightly things, I am afraid that I will mislead people's children. If I accept an apprentice, I have the responsibility to teach, and the responsibility for the growth and achievement of the apprentice cannot be shirked. I can't even manage myself now, so what can I do to manage my apprentices? Secondly, with my current situation, I can't take in apprentices. I can't stay here for a long time, I can't take people away, I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to teach my disciples. ”
After saying this, I saw that everyone was disappointed. The leader of the tribe was about to say anything more, but Aya raised his hand to stop him. Aya stood up, asked everyone to sit down first, and motioned for me to go inside with her, she had something to say to me alone.
Aya led me through the back hall and stopped in a small clearing in the back yard. At this time, Aya was no longer dressed like she was in the morning, but was wearing a very casual shirt. She stopped, turned around, and without saying a word, screamed, and threw herself at me. It's a desperate stance.
I was slightly stunned, I felt that this archmage was a little incredible, did he have to fight with me just because I refused to accept an apprentice here?
Instinctively, I flashed and slapped one hand at Aya's heart. Just as my palm was about to touch the back of her heart, I felt her back slip and I withdrew. Aya didn't look back, and pulled one leg back. I flipped my wrist and ran my fingers towards her calf. We've been battling each other for a dozen rounds, and Aya is fighting hard with me. That posture, where it's like a girl, is simply a crazy man.
Aya staggered for a while, then suddenly stopped, and stood there looking at me with a smile, just like the way she had just looked. Looking at the smile on the corners of her eyes at the moment, she looks like an archmage of the tribe, and more like a little girl who has not lost her innocence.
Aya tilted her head to look at me and said, "I almost fooled you!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, "What did I lie to you?" ”
Aya waved her hand, "Don't say anything." I know that you must have your morals in doing this. I don't ask anymore. ”
I was still confused, "What did I do?" ”
There was an unconcealed excitement in Aya's voice. "You don't have to say it, I know it all in my heart."
I said, "You didn't call me out just to get into a fight, did you?" ”
Aya said, "Yes and no. Aya paused, "Dole, this kid has good qualifications, you can teach him." I'm the Archmage here now, and you can't help me. ”
I said, "Your kung fu is good enough, you can't teach it, why don't you pull me?" ”
"It's different. I'll tell you when I find time later. ”
Looking at Aya's expectant face, I couldn't bear to refuse. I thought for a moment, "Well, I can teach him something while I'm here." But the apprentices were still exempted. ”
Aya nodded.
When we returned to the hall, all the people in the hall were still waiting. After Aya sat down, she told everyone the results. Aya said that during this time, I will teach Dole some things, Dole can practice first, and after some time, if he can pass my assessment, he can officially become my apprentice.
I listened to Aya's words, and I was quite surprised in my heart, it seems that this archmage really has some Taoism. Even such a thing can be said so tactfully, and even foreshadowing various possible situations in the future. Regardless of the outcome in the future, there are already statements waiting there. Where is this like a person from an isolated tribe? is clearly a human spirit who has crawled out of the world.
As soon as Dole heard that I was willing to teach him, he jumped up for joy, and his father's face was filled with undisguised joy.
After Aya said this, she whispered something in the ear of the tribal leader. The tribal leader nodded as he listened.
After a few moments, the tribal leader stood up and announced a dance feast for the evening.
On the way out of the tribal leader's house, I asked Dole, who had given me a gift, what was the dance feast?
"It was the most solemn ceremony for our tribe to welcome the most honored guests. All the people in the village are going to participate. From dark until late at night. ”
