"Where did this tattoo come from?"

The girl thought for a moment and shook her head: "Forget." ”

"Forgot?"

Can you forget this?!

Ye Qingxuan was a little distracted and rubbed his face: "Do you know a person named Hermes?"

"Probably?"

"Do you know or don't know!"

The girl's lips pursed unhappily: "I don't know, I forgot!

“...... You always remember your name, don't you?"

Ye Qingxuan looked into her eyes and asked word by word: "Tell me, your name." ”

“......”

The girl was silent, dodging Ye Qingxuan's gaze, and wanted to withdraw her hand with a frustrated expression: "I won't sell your map, you let go." It's really, so annoying...... Always asking people such strange questions......"

She snorted, as if she was running away from something, and didn't dare to look at Ye Qingxuan's eyes:

"You, you let go, I'm leaving. ”

The young man let her break his fingers hard, just looking at her with a serious expression:

"—Tell me, your name. ”

"Her name is Elsa. ”

On the side, someone stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ye Qingxuan's hand: "Relax, Mr. Ye, she is my daughter." ”

The palm of that hand was calloused and unusually old. He patted the back of the boy's hand, untied his palm, and then picked up the little girl in frustration, hugged him in his arms and whispered something, and the little girl smirked.

"Take her home. ”

He handed the girl to the young man behind him, who took the girl and let her ride on his shoulders and walk away from the crowd.

Seeing his daughter go away, the rickety man turned around and looked at the young man: "I just sent you away." I didn't expect to meet again so soon. ”

"Uh, Mr. Caligula. ”

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ye. ”

Carigu held the cigarette stick, looked at the double snake timepiece in Ye Qingxuan's hand, and his eyes were clear: "You are Mr. Hermes's person." I really didn't expect it. ”

"It's just a coincidence. ”

Ye Qingxuan sighed: "The purpose of coming to Romulus this time is to visit Elsa's situation on behalf of Mr. Hermes, but now it seems that it is not as bad as I thought." ”

"Does Hermes remember Elsa, the poor child?"

Caligula nodded, "Five years ago, when the flu broke out, I had a relationship with him.

At that time my daughter was critically ill and he found the best doctor for me, but unfortunately, it was a step too late. Leaving such a sequelae. I'm afraid Mr. Ye is also deeply troubled, right?"

“......”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with her memory?"

"You guessed it?"

The elder lowered his eyes and whispered, "When you have a fever, part of your brain is burned out. Although she barely left a little common sense of life, since then, her memory has ...... It's only five minutes. ”

Five minutes?

Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes. He sighed deeply.

"I see. ”

Only in this way can she be explained upside down. It's just that. He couldn't imagine life like that. Living in a world of only five minutes is like a baby already looking at the world, with no past, no future, and even his own name can't be remembered.

"No need for mercy, Mr. Ye. She had a great time. ”

Caligula saw the compassion in his heart, and just patted him on the shoulder: "The absence of the past is not necessarily a bad thing, so it is good, at least it will not be bothered by grief and pain." ”

The boy nodded. "I hope so. ”

"I almost forgot to get down to business. Caligula took out a few dirty scrolls from his bosom and placed them on his stall: "I originally wanted to give you this.

It's a relic of those elders, a bit of our history, and I think you'll be able to use it. ”

Ye Qingxuan took his hand, looked at it slightly, and looked up a little stunned: "It's all ...... The history of Romulus? Such ancient books are priceless and invaluable to any scholar. ”

"Mr. Ye, you said to me at noon: You came here to treat diseases and save people. So, think of these things as a trivial thank-you gift. These things are most useful in the hands of scholars. ”

Elder Caligula tapped his cigarette stick on the stone, shaking out the unburning embers, which dissipated into the wind.

"If possible, I hope this trial will be won by people like you...... If you still feel sorry for it, then help Elsa find a better doctor. ”

He smiled and turned away.

Ye Qingxuan stayed where he was, watching him go away, and after a long time, he retracted his gaze.

"Victory...... What?"

He whispered, "I'll give it a try." ”――

At dusk, the lobby of the inn.

The smell of burning tobacco and alcohol lingered in the air, and in the low hustle and bustle, there was a lot of busyness. Despite the chaos, it was a rare time for Romulus to be lively.

It's just that the entire hall is divided into two parts, which are distinct.

On one side are locals who are half-naked and fighting, bustling and noisy. But on the other side, there was silence, and a few musicians who had been busy all day were silently eating their share of food.

After all, as long as you have enough money, you can even buy respect, let alone a place to eat. Although it is not too rich, it is already the highest standard of treatment for Romulus.

And in the middle, there is only one empty table, with only a few wine glasses and half a bottle of gin that many drunkards covet. The gin has a gold label on it, which is obviously a good product from an overseas place of origin, and a good thing that the boss presses at the bottom of the box. In order to match this good wine, several slightly shriveled lemons were also sent to accompany the wine.

It's just that, while waiting, none of the three musicians seems to have any desire to talk, just sipping the spirits in their glasses and waiting in silence.

Soon, the door was pushed open.

The dark-cloaked musician shook off the dust in the doorway and walked straight to the table, followed behind him as if something was invisible, leaving a trail of tiny footprints. A flash of chill made the air thicken.

It was so thick that it almost projected into the ether.

The musician didn't look old. A blond messy hair, like a lion, and the pupils of the eyes are the vertical pupils evolved from the summoner's years of contact with the beast's nature, and the wild aura of a beast in his eyes is terrifying.

"Dragonstone School ......"

"Barlow the Golden Lion. ”

"Barlow Hoffman. ”

Sensing his arrival, the rest of the musicians whispered. Whispering about the big hit in this Auschwitz trial, the famous family of the summoning faction, the elite of the Dragonstone School.

When the Baro Lama sat down at the table in the middle and drank the gin, everyone's eyes became cautious: at that table, there were now three favourites to win the championship, and they seemed to have formed an alliance and decided to explore the ruins of the underground palace together.

Representatives from the School of Destruction, nicknamed Hammer Samu, and Barlow, the Golden Lion from the Dragonstone School. and Miller, a famous musician of the Northern Chant School and a rising star......

When these three names were put together, they couldn't help but make people jealous, and even some people had some bad looks in their eyes, but they quickly hid them cautiously, bowed their heads and hurriedly finished eating, and left.

Barlow glanced at those eyes and sneered. Grabbed a lemon absentmindedly and squeezed the juice in his hand. After dripping in the spirits, toss the lemon aside.

Then, he drank the wine from the small glass with great pleasure.

"Refreshing. ”

He let out a sigh of relief: "I've been outside all day, and now I've finally washed away the muddy smell in my mouth." ”

The musician to his left smiled and picked up the gin and filled it for him, without saying anything. Barlow wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at his companion opposite. Straight to the point:

"Sammiu, I heard you've found another collaborator?"

"I think he's a good fit. Shan Miao nodded and said in a muffled voice, "The brain seems to be quite good." ”

Barlow frowned: "There are already three people in the team now. ”

"It's safer to have one more. Miller, to his right, said, "I don't object, there is power in numbers." ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Barlow snorted coldly, "At least it depends on who it is." I don't want to work with someone who doesn't know why. Shan Miao, you are soft-hearted, but don't add any indiscriminate guys to the team. ”

"You've heard of it, Barlow. ”

Miller laughed: "It's the Oriental guy who made a fuss last night that those guys in front of the door couldn't get off the stage, I'll give you ......"

"Ye Qingxuan?"

Barlow interrupted him, frowning, "The most rookie and meaty candidate of all the participants?"

"Uh......"

Miller was stunned, with a strange expression.

"What's the use of asking for a burden?" Barlow shook his head dissatisfied, "I've heard that if it weren't for the presence of Master Anglo, he wouldn't even be able to enter the city gates." ”

Miller lowered his head in embarrassment, took a sip of wine, and whispered, "You see, in this kind of ruin, there is a revelation musician with the ability to explore, which often has the effect of doing more with less. Moreover, he was also a disciple of the ancient history master Mr. Abraham, and helped in the exploration of the ruins of Romulus.

You'll be a little bit more relaxed then......"

"Ruins exploration is not a game!"

Barlow raised his voice, a scar on his forehead faintly red from the stimulation of alcohol, half disdain and half disgust: "A novice who has not been a full-fledged musician for a long time, just don't make a mess, you don't have to expect him to play a big role."

Besides, explore the ruins, and my Scuts can do the same!"

Miller retracted his gaze in disdain, speechless: "This is Shanmiao's decision, and there must be a reason for him." ”

"I didn't agree!"

Barlow's expression became more and more gloomy, and he restrained his anger: "Could it be that any cat or dog comes and joins the team, can you share the profits equally?

"I've seen it, I'll talk about it. ”

Samu finally spoke.

He didn't get angry, he didn't have the idea of arguing, he just said seriously: "He has a good brain, and I think it's good to have such a person in the team." ”

“......”

Barlow's complexion changed, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and took a step back:

"Well, if not, don't expect me to agree. ”――

New January, a new beginning, let's get some monthly tickets~ The ranking is so miserable......

In the past two months, I also plan to rush the monthly ticket list, and try the double change tomorrow~ (To be continued.) )
