27 The youngest animal tamer 01
On the second day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless, and Hughes drove the wildebeest outside the wilderness tavern early. After yesterday's scare, there were still drinkers who came to drink morning wine in the morning, but today there are many people in the courtyard, and there is not a single ghost. It seems that the lulu scene really scared people a lot.
"Xu Zheng. Hughes shouted.
"Come, come!" Xu Zheng shouted, rushing out of it.
Lucina chased after her, carrying a piece of clothing in her hand, and said, "Stop! ”
Xu Zheng put the arrogant two-handed sword on his shoulder and protested: "Don't change it." Who knows what will happen halfway through the test for the beast tamer, it would be a pity if it was torn. ”
Lucina said: "Now is not the same as before, it used to be so poor that there was no extra money to make clothes. Now that I've earned money, of course I'm going to change you into new clothes. My Bandari kid wore a bad dress to take the test, and that would never work! As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Xu Zheng.
Xu Zheng smiled and asked her to catch it and change into a new dress.
Lucina looked at Xu Zheng with satisfaction and put on new clothes to appreciate her heroic appearance, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is worthy of being a child of my family, look at this clever person with black eyebrows and black eyes, I like it when I look at it." Xius, do you see Xu Zheng is handsome in this dress? I spent a night rushing out of the new clothes. ”
Xiusi looked over with a smile, and saw that the new clothes sewn by Lucina fit very well on Xu Zheng's body, fully expressing the developing tall body of the young man in front of him, although he was still a young man, he could already distinguish the toned body with wide shoulders and thin waist. Turning his head, Xu Zheng was wrapped in light cyan new clothes, and his long black hair was also tied behind his head with a head rope of the same color, which was extremely handsome with different eyebrows and eyes.
Hughes praised, "What a handsome boy. It's just that I feel a little arrogant with that big sword on my back, and the sword is too big. ”
Xu Zheng laughed and said, "I'm not tall, and I'm so big." No matter how unworthy of a big sword, I'll let it be better than nothing. How else would the two of us stand together?"
Thinking about the contrast between Lulu and Xu Zhengdi's size, both Lucina and Xius began to laugh.
"Alright. I'm leaving. Aunt Lucina, hear me good news. With that, hop into the wildebeest carriage and follow Theseus on his way.
This way is to go to the upper city and out of the middle city. As I walked up the curvy road, I could occasionally see people with the Beast Trainers walking in twos and threes along the way.
Xu Zheng was very amused, and always subconsciously looked at these future animal trainers, trying to distinguish their faces hidden in the shadows under the hood.
Xiusi sighed and said, "Xu Zheng, it's not polite to look at people like this." ”
"Hey, I forgot. Xu Zheng stuck out his tongue, Xiusi just talked about the taboo in the beast tamer world last night, many hunters have been in the forest for a long time, and hiding their body and breath and appearance have become a deep-rooted habit. It is indeed rude to hate being the focus of others, and to look at people like this. According to Hughes, animal trainers are instinctively uncomfortable when they are stared at like this, and it is easy to get into disputes over this. Look at the future animal trainers on the side of the road. Indeed, they all walked quietly. Only Xu Zheng, a pseudo-beast tamer who became a monk halfway, opened a pair of curious eyes and looked around.
The wildebeest carriage went all the way, even though it didn't bring the monster, but because it was the day when the god of war Maris was born, the guards guarding the upper city didn't do too much questioning, so they let the two go forward. Xu Zheng noticed that although the inventory was much easier, and there was no requirement to show a resident card in Shangcheng to enter and leave Shangcheng District, there were nearly five times more guards guarding than the last time he came to build a steamer. The original six guards became more than twenty. It seems to be loose. In fact, it is tight, and the defense force has skyrocketed.
"Last year was the day of the birth of Timaris. There are so many guards?" asked Xu Zheng.
Xius shook his head and said, "Last year's guards were twice as large as usual, I don't know why there are so many this year." ”
Xu Zheng's heart moved, and he faintly thought of the increase in the city defense mentioned by the two dwarves that night, vaguely as if he had captured something. A vague thought flashed in Xu Zheng's mind, and before he could think about it, he heard Xiusi say: "It's here." I can only send it here, you yourself line up, and I'll go to the audience to watch you take the exam. ”
"Huh?" And the audience? You didn't mention that last night. Xu Zheng was surprised.
Hughes laughed, "Of course. Do you think that the anniversary of Maris's birth is a small day? And the performances of the animal tamer have always been quite exciting, and the mysterious beast tamer and the powerful beast are not something that can be seen just by looking at it. Although tickets for Warcraft Arena are only sold once a year, they can be sold at sky-high prices no matter which one of them, and if it weren't for your two amazing friends, I don't think I would have been able to afford tickets. ”
Sweat...... The corners of Xu Zheng's mouth deflated weakly, what does it have to do with what? I still think how serious the beast trainer exam is, and there are still many audiences who come to see the performance...... This doesn't seem to be the same as watching a circus show...... I don't know if there is a ** girl riding on a lion and jumping on a fire string and a clown dressed as a parrot standing on the back of his hand, driving them to fly into the crowd to hold money, no, it should be a similar drama of gold coins and so on? This is a circus repertoire on the central star in the previous life......
The mysterious animal trainer who is adjusting his mind suddenly drops his price and becomes a fall among circus performers who entertain the public
Xiusi smiled: "I am optimistic about you, you must be admitted!" I passed, you slapped Xu Zheng on the shoulder, pushed Xu Zheng off the horned carriage, and drove the carriage away.
Xu Zheng jumped out of the car, helped his crooked two-handed sword, grinned, and got into the team of animal trainers.
The trainers lined up in a row of two, with their own magical beasts by their side, all standing quietly, these beast trainers were roughly dressed in the same way, and almost unanimously chose a huge smock to cover themselves from head to foot, leaving only a hole in the position of the face, and the whole face was hidden in the shadow behind the hole. Looking at those demonic beasts again, there are all kinds of them, and Xu Zheng knows almost all the varieties. Like their owners, they stand still, without the slightest restlessness, and appear to be clearly trained.
Xu Zheng stood far away in the team, and the light cyan swordsman's suit-like outfit immediately stood out. A group of people who came to participate in the beast trainer examination school were all adults, and only Xu Zheng was a young man, and there were no magical beasts around him. In addition, with a two-handed sword that looked arrogant on his back, and there was no blouse to cover his face, the whole clever and handsome young man's face was vividly exposed to the sun, which was obviously incompatible with the mysterious hermit-type style of the whole team.
Xu Zheng also felt that he was different, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, scratching the back of his head embarrassedly, hehe laughed dryly, and subconsciously thought. If I knew this, I should have insisted on wearing the clothes of the civilians in the lower city, which was better than the swordsman's uniform, which was too eye-catching.
When Zheng Pestle was uncomfortable there, he suddenly heard a rough voice say, "Young man, you are also here to test the beast tamer?"
Xu Zheng raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a stout man striding out of the middle beast tamer team and coming to his side. He was followed by a lizard, prostrate on all fours, and followed its master. From time to time, the limbs of the body flashed with firelight, and light smoke rose from the opening and closing of the mouth, it seemed that it should be a fire-based demonic beast called the Flame Lizard.
The man walked up to Xu Zheng, who only glanced at him and smiled.
The man had a rough face, a big face. Thick lips. With a tall nose, when he smiles, he shows a mouthful of dazzling white teeth, and when he sees the ground for the first time, he feels very healthy and cheerful, and a little simple, honest and loyal, which makes people feel very comfortable to look at. What really made Xu Zheng laugh was his face and head. This man was a bald man. There is no hair on the head! There are no eyebrows, beards, anything on the face. The whole face is devoid of these messy hairs, smooth as a shelled egg, which is extremely funny.
When the man saw Xu Zheng grinning, he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to smile, touched his smooth scalp awkwardly, and said seriously: "Let me state first, I am not bald, there are not many people in the village who have hair as thick as me." It's a pity that my flame is not well trained, and I burned all my hair, beard, and eyebrows. ”
Xu Zheng was stunned. What a charming name. Comparing the huge discrepancy between his rough appearance and this delicately feminine name, and then looking at his obviously slick head and face after wildfire, so masculine without half a hair on his face, it has an abrupt comedic effect. Xu Zheng couldn't hold back for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.
Seeing Xu Zheng laughing, the man touched his smooth scalp embarrassedly, and laughed as well.
The laughter spread through the team, and the animal trainers all turned their heads to look at Xu Zheng, their dark and uncertain eyes looking out of the shadows of the smocks, and the meaning of dissatisfaction and contempt was self-evident.
"My name is Yorker. "That's human. He leaned over again and whispered, "It seems that they don't like us very much." ”
"Xu Zheng. Like him, he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "That's because the two of them are too different, obviously out of place, and too different from that mysterious hermit style, like two mouse droppings in a pot of soup, which can be seen at a glance on the soup noodles, and you can't ignore it." ”
York was puzzled and asked, "Does the animal trainer have to hide and hide, and act mysterious? What's wrong with standing in the sun openly? ”
