Chapter 297: Sacrifice (6)
"The first step to growth is to learn to communicate with others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" - Slogan No. 27 of the Magic Academy
The city of Sunset in July experiences more darkness than anywhere else on the continent. For this city located at the foot of the mountain, the ball of light called the "sun" in the sky was nothing more than a passing visitor in the twenty-one days that were neither long nor short.
"It turned out to be ...... That's right. Whispering, he stood on the roof, bathed in the soft moonlight.
"That's right......" he turned, his silver-white sand and lighter headband fluttering to one side, though there was no wind. The young figure leaped from roof to roof—a distance of at least twenty paces.
Achilles...... Heartbreaking...... What about the sound......
The thin body seemed to tremble a little. The moon in the sky seemed to change its appearance at this moment, suddenly becoming huge, and covering it with a more alienated color.
Maybe it's a delusion.
......
......
......
It's just a note, but it contains such a powerful power.
"It's true, it's been a long time. I couldn't help the emotion in my heart, and while saying this polite sentence, I slowly closed my eyes.
Achilles sat right in front of me, and the look in his eyes still made me feel the most primitive emotion—fear.
Disappeared for three years, this bard, this man who completely evaporated from the world under what I was supposed to be a flawless intelligence network...... Really.
It's concerning.
In this vast land, there is never a shortage of heroic deeds worthy of praise, and there is never a shortage of all kinds of bizarre love joys and sorrows, and the adaptation of these lengthy stories into catchy ballads for people to recite and enjoy, no, for people to amuse, is the bard. It's just a lowly existence like a dancing girl and an artist. Then, this guy is completely different.
The terrible strength aside, for me, the most terrifying thing about him is that when you face this person, of course, if he allows you to face him, at this time, no matter who you are, you will be overwhelmed.
"The more inconspicuous people are, the more unexpected they tend to do. The sudden low voice made me open my eyes, Achilles suddenly raised his head, his ice-blue right pupil was half-closed, floating with a lazy look, and the hollow gaze of the sky-blue left pupil made me feel like my body was floating among the clouds in the blue sky. "And those who are always swaggering are either the most ignorant fools, or ......" The tone was so soft that I almost choked, but in what I can say was a painful wait, his words never continued to sound.
"Ahem...... cough dryly, I raised the goblet in my hand to my lips and took a sip to eliminate the restlessness that was constantly rising in my heart. It was only in front of him that I was so embarrassed to be teased like a child. But because of this, I, who could not predict his actions and could not guess the meaning of his words, admired this person so much.
As if he had read through my thoughts, a glimmer of light flashed in his heterochromatic eyes, and his indescribably delicate face finally smiled slightly.
"Your mind is too focused, in the face of me. The smile flickered, "Also, I took your funny idea just now as a compliment." ”
"It's not fun at all. I shook my head seemingly helplessly and replied casually. In fact, what I said just now is very wrong, and he can really read through my thoughts, which is extremely unfavorable to me, but at the same time, if you think about it from a different angle, it is much easier to have a conversation, isn't it?
"So, what did you just want to say, Lord Achilles?" I said, jokingly. For this person, there is no need for the slightest disguise. Because that's pointless.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and it's really dull. He didn't care about my ridicule and gave me a merciless evaluation.
"No way, there are too many things for me to think about, but I hope to be as idle as you. I still didn't change my tone, and my joking tone was so funny that I matched the costume with it. When I talk to people, whether it's a professional habit or not, I always make them fall into my language trap and unconsciously say what I want to know. It's just that I don't have any intention of saying anything about Achilles, and the occasional "inadvertent" may be due to habit.
"In the material, for my new music...... It's been three years, and time is really flying. His answer was more like talking to himself. What I didn't expect was that not only did I just say what I wanted to know, but I also showed something that made me almost stunned...... No, if it were him, it wouldn't be impossible.
"Time is a requiem, and I never care about the score. Achilles suddenly stood up as he said something that was difficult to say, and there stood a man who was two heads taller than me, "So to get back to the point, what I want to tell you is ......" The voice changed abruptly, "Compared to this, the one over there, it's not a good habit to pretend to sleep." ”
Following his gaze, I looked to the side. Lying on the bar, the old waiter, who had fallen with the crowd, should have straightened up and stood up in the time I didn't react.
"If I could, I'd like to be part of the conversation with young people who are alive. It just seems like something I shouldn't know, President Leon, Lord Achilles. The glass of the monocle reflected the glow of the magical lamp, and from this angle it looked as if the old body had been infused with some other strength and became very erect.
Was it still my mistake? What are you underestimating? What are you overvaluing?
Speaking of which, the title "President Leon" ...... I really don't know why, and it's not surprising that this bar is also owned by my chamber of commerce, but why would he know who I am?
"Ersika senpai...... "I added an honorific to his name, which may have been unmentioned for a long time, hoping to see something I cared about.
"Yes. He replied respectfully, with no flaw in the somewhat disgusting fake smile on his face.
I always felt like someone's expression, and I couldn't help but look at Achilles. The white jade harp in the bard's hand was gone, replaced by a dagger with a sheath studded with various colored gems, and the faintly visible number on it was about "one hundred and sixteen".
