Chapter 13: The First Arrival in the Town
Xiao Chen used a short sword to cut off the end of Luo Ling's black robe, this short sword is not ordinary when there is no flame, there is no barrier to cutting the robe, it is as sharp as a utility knife cutting paper, I just don't know what the silver threads on the robe are made of, when I cut it, there are occasionally small fireworks.
If the owner of the robe was here, he might be angry with Xiao Chen. An expensive enchanted robe was cut alive in this way, and several magic arrays were broken. But Xiao Chen can't care so much, he doesn't know the goods, and he has to find suitable clothes to go out to meet people. The owner of the house obviously has a soft spot for robes, and there are no other styles of clothes at all except robes and underwear, so what else can he do in order to follow the local customs?
Xiao Chen circled around Luo Ling, and finally cut the hem slightly higher than Luo Ling's upper to completely cover the original suit pants.
"Well, it's neat. He said with some smugness.
"It's almost a pointed hat. He took out a black wizard hat embroidered with light silver patterns from the wardrobe and handed it to Luo Ling.
"I don't want it, this hat is too ugly. Luo Ling looked at the hat, but she didn't try it, so she gave it back to Xiao Chen.
"But you have a bandage on your head, and your hat is just enough to cover it. lest you go out and arouse the suspicion of others. Also, we don't know if there is a rule that magicians must wear hats. Xiao Chen smiled and brought the hat directly to her head, wrapped around her, and pushed her in front of a mirror. "Well, there's a cute little witch here. One more broom would be perfect. ”
Luo Ling saw a very different self in the mirror, she has always disliked loose clothes, and always felt that she was not capable enough. And this men's magic robe that was cut by Xiao Chen with rough means came to her, but it did not look ill-fitting, but it looked very free, and the silver thread had an attractive sense of mystery. And a silver ribbon around the waist outlines the figure just right. She straightened her hair, gently wiped the dust off her face, and pressed her hat down to cover the bloody bandage on her forehead. Then he turned left and right and took a look at himself.
When she turned around, she heard a "click", it was Xiao Chen who took a photo of her with his mobile phone.
"You don't know how to save some electricity. Now I still have the heart to take candid photos. Luo Ling scolded, "Don't take pictures of my dirty appearance, it's about to be deleted." ”
"Alas, I have obeyed your instructions and have turned off the power to save power. Xiao Chen lifted off his magic robe and stuffed his phone into his trouser pocket, "I think you are much cuter than dressing up in work clothes now." ”
Luo Ling was quite surprised that Xiao Chen had beaten his chest because he had come to another world before, and after walking around the various rooms looking for clothes, he seemed to be nothing.
There are many things in her heart that she is holding and dare not release. Now they are far from safe, and they can only endure it emotionally. She did not dare to be the slightest weak, because weakness is like a flood that will break the dam of reason. Once you have passed the weakness, it is difficult to be strong again and face this dangerous new world. Weakness is a contagious disease, and she can't be a shortcoming for this team. But now it seems that the other two people in this small team, one of them seems to have good psychological adjustment ability, and the other can't describe his big nerves, right?
But isn't it really cute? She glanced at her glasses again, not knowing what she had been photographed for, "Show me the picture." ”
"Hey, hey, wait a minute. I have to help Liu Yisheng get dressed up. We're all going to have to look decent to get out!"
————————————————————————
The haunted houses in the town of Floro have always been a problem for the residents of the neighborhood. This gloomy house has stood in the center of the town for an unknown number of years. The yard is overgrown with weeds and is a paradise for wild cats and dogs in the neighborhood. The roof of the house itself has collapsed by a small half, and the walls have weathered beyond recognition, so even if the house is called a relic, there is probably nothing wrong with it.
People have long forgotten how many years the house has been there, except that it once belonged to a great magician, but it has not been opened since the magician mysteriously disappeared.
Over the years, people who were not without courage had tried to climb over the wall to get inside, but they all ended up dangling out of the main entrance in a daze. All the people said that they walked through the courtyard into the gate of the house and appeared directly outside the gate of the courtyard. If it weren't for the fact that the people who came out of the city were seriously ill, perhaps this would have become a place for Floro to attract tourists and make money.
So when the children in the town are disobedient, there are always parents who say, "If you don't obey, they will throw you in a haunted house." ”
And now, Ciro was also at home, and whispered a rebuke to his son in a similar tone: "Don't get involved in tax resistance in the future, or you will be thrown into a haunted house." ”
But Garcia was half-grown after all, and asked unconvincedly: "I saw the Count fleeing with his own eyes." It seems that they are really not a big deal. What are you afraid of. ”
His wife went out for a spin, and her courage was a lot stronger, and she said a few words of support for her son.
"Well, you know what. If it weren't for that strange thing in the sky today, we might have been taken by the Earl and sold as slaves. ”
"I saw with my own eyes that the Count had been smashed and his face was covered in blood, and he had to find the owner of the house that had fallen. Does he have the kung fu to control us?" Garcia argued again.
"The more miserable the Count is this time, the more he will not give up! The first thing he will do when he wakes up is to send someone to find out the details of the house that he has fallen, and the second thing is to come back and take revenge on us! I don't know how long it will take to investigate the details, but it can be dealt with us, and he only needs to send a knight with his troops. When the time comes, what can that fool of Scarface Paz have to argue with the Earl except to shout loudly? Now I'm going to send you to my grandfather's house now, just to put aside your relationship with the mob. Ciro said a few more words before he overpowered his son's words.
However, Ciro knew in his heart that even if he sent his wife and children away, the house and land of the family would not be able to escape, and if the earl really wanted to retaliate, he was afraid that the loss of the family would be great, and he walked around the room worriedly, hoping to come up with a better way.
At this time, there was a commotion outside. Ciro thought that something big had happened, so he hurriedly posted it to the door and listened carefully. But there are people outside who are saying that something strange happened in the haunted house in Floro Town today. The house suddenly shone brightly, and the dilapidated house, which seemed to be about to collapse at any moment, suddenly became a new look, and the weeds and garbage in the yard were completely gone, and it was transformed into a lush garden. Some people also said that they saw figures flickering and talking in the room.
When Ciro, who had seen a little of the world, heard the news, he immediately thought of magic. He also thought of the people who had left after the tax resistance, and the news that came from the earl's ancestral house, it was said that there were people on the island that fell from the sky, and those people were dressed in strange clothes, and they would make terrible inhuman noises. Could there be a connection between these two things? If these people were the same people, and they were magicians, and they also had a grudge against the Earl for destroying houses and hurting people, would there be any chance?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly put on his coat, warned his wife and son not to go out again, and went out.
—————————————————————————
Xiao Chen and the three of them wore magicians' robes and walked out of the gate to the courtyard. From a distance, they heard an exclamation from the people outside the iron gate of the courtyard, and then they all started to commotion.
However, they still have to bite the light and take the first step towards contact with the locals no matter what. Hearing Luo Ling's breathing, it was also obviously heavy. Xiao Chen comforted: "Don't worry, we should be traveling abroad, you see that these foreign friends are quite warm, and they welcome us." ”
A smile appeared on Luo Ling's tense face, and she asked softly: "Then what are you doing with the short sword at your waist tightly with your right hand, I see that your hands are so tense that they are about to cramp." ”
Xiao Chen looked embarrassed and muttered: "Saying that you are not afraid is also to comfort you, can you not be so sharp." The old exposé is short, beware that no one wants it. ”
Luo Ling snorted, quickened her pace, and followed Liu Yisheng, who was swaggering in front.
The crowd at the door was visibly curious and frightened. By the time Xiao Chen and the others came to the door, these people had already dispersed, but they didn't go far, and they were all watching the three of them by the surrounding street corner wall. Xiao Chen noticed that some people even ran to the roof and the bell tower, and even more exaggeratedly, several people climbed up to a tree across the street, and this kind of strong onlookers made him uncomfortable from head to toe.
He noticed that most of the adults were nervous, and as he looked around, at least two of them hit the wall in fright, three fell, and one fell from a tree. The children, who were not very afraid of him, kept giggling and pointing at him, but soon the main of them was also carried back by their respective parents. For a while, the whole street was lifeless except for the sporadic sound of frolicking.
"I thought magicians were celebrities. Xiao Chen secretly muttered to Luo Ling.
"Hmph, you have to be a star, for example, ......" Luo Ling glanced at Liu Yisheng, who was stretching his waist, revealing his toned body, making Xiao Chen roll his eyes. She smiled, "Good eloquence is also a cost, you can use your fluent Spanish to get close to them." ”
"Hey, everyone, it's a nice day. Xiao Chen waved his hand to everyone as he spoke.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his hand, there was a coaxing around, and many people looked for concealment to hide. There's no way, in this kind of remote town, no one has ever seen a magician, this haunted house is notorious, and the legendary magician doesn't have much of a good image, all kinds of grass and human life, curse experiments, and too many stories of slaughtering villages and slaughtering cities. Who knows what kind of evil magic is going to be performed in front of you.
Wherever Xiao Chen's raised hand waved, the people on each side shrank into the "bunker" and disappeared with a shout. Whichever way the hand beckons, the person on either side will run away in a desperate way. And these further exacerbated the tension of the townspeople, and everyone felt that this mage was very powerful, not only able to scary people with his eyes, but also capable of grasping objects in the air!
The reaction of the townspeople made Xiao Chen cry and laugh. He was about to say something peaceful and fraternal, nonsense such as a strip of clothes and water, or do something to bribe children with change, but when he turned his head and saw that Liu Yisheng was gone, he looked for it again and found that the guy had actually talked to himself and ran to a bakery not far away. Xiao Chen was shocked, afraid that someone's behavior close to an idiot would trigger a vicious group incident, so he quickly pulled Luo Ling to follow.
Liu Yisheng walked in that direction, and the people around the bakery who were watching the excitement fled backwards. The proprietress of the bakery screamed in fright and went straight under the bunk. The owner of the bakery rushed out of the store, holding a pot lid in one hand and an axe to chop wood in the other, using the counter as an obstacle, trembling at Liu Yisheng.
Several neighbors were also righteous enough, took out kitchen knives, brooms and other things, and stopped Liu Yisheng at the door together.
"I want to change this to eat. Liu Yisheng took out a gold coin and stretched out his hand. Unfortunately, he spoke Chinese, and instead of answering, those people took several steps back in unison. He looked at the people in front of him with some puzzlement, completely unaware of how terrifying a man who came out of a haunted house, wearing a magic robe and a small axe at his waist, and was as strong as a cow, seemed to the townspeople who had little knowledge.
Fortunately, there were still people willing to do business, and at this time a hand carefully took the gold coins from his hand, and handed him a basket of bread.
When Xiao Chen ran over, he saw that Liu Yisheng was eating bread that looked as black as a briquette. On the side was a middle-aged man with a smile on his face, and when he saw Xiao Chen coming, he bowed down to him very neatly, handed him the head of a handful of silver coins, and then said respectfully, in Spanish with a strong accent: "Venerable magician, do you need a guide?" Ciro Romero is willing to serve you. ”
