Chapter 143: The Longest Day in Troy: The Idol (I)
"How does it feel to talk to strangers alone?"
“...... It feels like the whole body, no, along with the thoughts, is going to 'fall apart' together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Although he said more decadent words in the consciousness space, in reality, Troy, who was walking in the crowd, looked calm, and completely lost the appearance of fear and retreat before.
"Haha, if the mind is really 'falling apart', then wouldn't I have to be buried in it?huh, the first time is more difficult, but once you have experience, you may feel that talking to strangers is not worth caring about at all. ”
The laughter was still restrained, and Lance, whose facial expression was not very large, was still reading intently, and the book in his hand, which he had no idea what it was, had already turned to the last few pages.
“...... This schadenfreude laugh will make me want to continue ignoring you. ”
"Oh, you can understand even this level of stuff, and you're really 'unknowingly' making progress. ”
Shaking his head to end the "post-war report" with Lance, the teenager who adjusted his mood with a deep breath did not notice the fact that he had been "noticed" by many people.
Originally, the teenager was quite wary of other people's eyes, but he didn't express it easily.
Now it was a different situation, and Troy's intuition was dulled by joy in the fact that he had not only "successfully conversed with strangers" but also "befriended him".
And when it comes to the reason why others pay attention to this unattractive teenager, it is very simple, only two words: magic.
The magic of the boy can definitely be called amazing.,Even in the school capital where everyone is a mage.,Everyone can do magic.,This undisguised huge and pure magic will make people feel alarming no matter what.。
Fortunately, under normal conditions, the "bright red" magic of the other half of Troy's body will not be easily exposed, and if it appears directly in the crowd, it will not just find a "vigilant eye", but will be directly attacked by the group.
Along the way from the nameless village on the peninsula, the boy who has sensed more and more magic and magic can also feel the "ominous" of the other half of the magic in his body, but how to say it? I always feel that since the battle with Alphonse, the magic that will make people's minds become concentrated is difficult to feel in the body.
Even that memory seems to be being wiped out.
"Lance, what do you think of that guy just now?"
"Well, who is it? Oh, the man you met when you walked out of the flower shop, right?"
Troy, who wanted to suppress the increasingly abnormal excitement in his heart but couldn't find a good way, had no choice but to use this way to divert his attention, chose to take the initiative to talk to Lance this time.
"It's true,That person's clothes are really rare.,There shouldn't be a place like the school park where there are people like 'beggars', right?But if it's not a beggar.,Is there any deep meaning in wearing so tattered?Or is it a hobby?"
"Don't let me hear this kind of deception. You know what I'm referring to. ”
sighed helplessly in reality, there was no clear whereabouts, and the young man who followed the crowd and "went with the flow" was not idle while "fighting wits and courage" with Lance, and he firmly engraved the place he walked in his mind.
If you get lost, you'll be tired, so be sure to remember where you've come from.
By the way, Ralph also taught Troy a more convenient way to memorize the way, which is to memorize "landmarks".
"I always feel like you're just talking to me like a different person. "Well, aside from his appearance, that man's magic is too weak, and I don't think he'll be able to pass the test here, no matter how I think about it." ”
"That's right, this is it. ”
As the two men said, after Troy had "escaped" from the Orchid House after his communication with Irma, the boy had not gone long before he passed by a man in shabby and smudge, with a tired and lowered gaze and no sharpness to speak of.
It took a considerable amount of effort on the man's body for Troy to perceive the presence of magic.
"So,I'm a little confused about how he got into this school.。 ”
"Even if you ask me, I'll ......"
"You know, I think you know everything. This is Troy's heart. The boy believed from the bottom of his heart that Lance, a strange man who knew everything in the world and had a way to deal with whatever happened next, but for some reason he didn't want to explain it.
It didn't occur to the boy that if this man was so omniscient and omnipotent, then why would he be killed and live in his own mind in the way he was?
Although he didn't think about it to this extent, Troy understood that this man definitely had some ulterior secrets.
"Haha, what do you think of me?Is it true God? Even true gods can't grasp everything, right?" Inadvertently uttered a sentence that was enough to be judged as "blasphemous" by the strict priests, and the calm Lance changed the topic again, "Anyway, do you have a goal for where you want to go now?
"Nope. Yes. The answer was tight, but at first glance it sounded awkward, and the young man, who knew that it was impossible for Lance to tell himself what he thought of the tattered man, did not continue to ask, but naturally took on a new topic: "However, it was strange from just now, I always felt that everyone around me was going in one direction?"
"That's right. ”
It's not a teenager's delusion, although he is in Trojan thinking, Lance, who seems to be able to perceive the outside world, also feels the same way. From the beginning of the moment, to be precise, from the front of the two intersections, people who were originally traveling in different directions and at different speeds became unified and accelerated.
"What are these people doing in such a hurry?"
Talking to himself, the teenager who was pushed forward quickly by the gradually noisy crowd did not forget to look for some useful information from the words of the people around him while looking for the landmarks around him.
......
"Gemini, idol, concert?"
Unfortunately, Troy had never heard even one of the three words that appeared most frequently in the surrounding speeches. (To be continued.) )
