Chapter 16: The Unprovoked Fifty Strings of Jinse
One second, two seconds, three seconds...... Just as Angus was looking at her carefully, the woman didn't even resist, but looked at each other with the same curiosity, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and there was a feeling of affectionate staring at each other, but the brother of the woman next to him couldn't stand it.
"Ahem, sir, thank you for helping my sister up, I wonder what you are doing with us?" said the man in a slightly displeased tone.
At this time, the two of them reacted and quickly separated. Angus only felt that all the eloquence he had cultivated over the years had been forgotten. I didn't know how to open my mouth for a while.
When asked like this, he said incoherently and hesitantly: "Uh...... Hello, I'm Angus Gale, I'm a level 5 troubadour, I'm collecting stories from all over the world, and I'm running a journal called "The Blind Mage", which is the kind that is published from half a month to a month...... I should have said hello to your family before I came...... I'm hoping ......."
Angus felt that his brain must be broken, or he would never have uttered such a gaffe and did not know what to say, and now his image in the eyes of the girl must have been completely ruined.
......
Not to mention the woman's reaction, but the ordinary-looking wooden man, after listening to Angus's words, although there was still a little doubt in his eyes, but when he heard the words "level 5" and "troubadour", his brows relaxed and wrinkled.
When the woman heard this explanation, she was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, and said in a woman's narrow voice: "You, you are the master Angus Gale who wrote the story of Julian and Camilla? Really?
As she spoke, she had already begun to pull Angus's clothes with her hands, and even wanted to twist his face with her hands, although Angus had thoughts about her, but this action still scared him.
Angus's face flushed, and he was a little helpless to stop her move, he didn't see his own book fans during the trip, but like this one, a female book lover who moved his hands and feet as soon as he came up, and he still made his heart throb at first sight, Angus really met it for the first time.
His brother also felt that something was wrong at this time, so he hurriedly pulled his sister away and said politely, "Huh...... Hello, I'm Curtis Plato, this is my sister Heber Plato, your request Our family has indeed received a message the day before, but this identity is still for you to verify, please understand!"
Angus hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No...... No...... , that's enough, I should want to thank your family for supporting me!", he handed over his letter of introduction and his magic imprint.
This letter paper is made of special magic strips, and the handwriting on it can only be revealed by inputting different levels of magic at a specific frequency.
Curtiz (abbreviation) took the letter of introduction, and put the letter on the magic imprint, and sure enough, an official letter with the main content of "local families cooperate to support the creation of Master Angus Gale, and provide convenience as much as possible" slowly emerged, and there was a faint family crest of the three spiritual families in the upper left corner as an anti-counterfeiting mark, such a mark can hardly be imitated in this wizard's world.
After confirming the authenticity, Curtiz said respectfully: "This Master Angus Gale, now you can freely look through all the materials below the E (including E) level here, but please try to hide the real names and place names in the materials when writing the story, and the original and copies of the information cannot be taken out; I will take this letter to help you report to the clan." ”
With that, Curtiz was about to leave with his sister Herb (abbreviation), but was disrupted by a word from Angus.
"That...... I'm not familiar with this place, can you ask someone to show me the way and answer my question?! Also, I want to walk around the city first, and then go back to the information. Angus said embarrassedly.
He was half-truthful, but he really needed someone to answer his question, and the false was that he had memorized the map of the surrounding town before he came, and now he might be more familiar with the terrain than anyone who had lived around it for years.
Hearing Angus say this, Heber, who was unwilling to follow his brother back, jumped out and said, "I...... I'm here to show you the way, to answer your questions, all of this to me, I'm familiar with it. ”
Seeing his sister break free of his hand and volunteer to recommend himself, Curtiz felt a headache and thought: My sister is going to get married in one month, why is she still so jumpy......! I hope she'll be better when she gets married......
And as soon as Herb spoke, Curtiz really didn't have much to say, so Curtiz could only look at the Angus master with a pleading gaze, hoping that he would refuse this unreliable self-recommendation.
But Angus pretended not to see it at this time, and said, "Okay! Then you can take me to the tavern and magic guild with the most people! ”
Yes, Curtiz really had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay then! Sister, remember to come back early! Master, please watch more, my sister has been "bored" at home recently, and people will go crazy when she walks, don't let her run away! I'll send the letter here first. ”
Angus hurriedly promised, "Okay! I look at her, I'm a level 5 troubadour can still look at people?!"
After saying that, Angus and Heber looked at the back of Curtis in the distance, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief, and the two glanced at each other, and they actually had a feeling of sympathy for each other.
And the glance just now and the tacit understanding now, as well as the heart throbbing at the beginning, can't help but remind Angus of a rumor that circulated among troubadours:
Once upon a time, the troubadour profession had no legend before the advent of the redemptive poet. Many people choose this profession because they envy the "troubadour" in the early stage, or because they want a strong group combat support ability, but most people give up this profession because they can't advance an inch after they reach level 5.
This is because the troubadour wants to advance, to say that it is simple and simple, and difficult to say, that is, to integrate the sincere emotions in his heart, and then to be consistent, to use the power of emotions and purify his soul.
To put it bluntly, the troubadour himself must have a set of artistic concepts and beliefs, and at the same time, he must be able to make more people like your artistic expression, which is the key to the advancement of the troubadour.
And this kind of advancement, in addition to relying on the accumulation of the troubadour himself, there is also a shortcut that is not a shortcut, that is, to find "inspiration".
The so-called "inspiration" here is usually a person, a painting, an object or other tangible things, but it may also be an abstract and vague concept such as a scene, an event, or a journey.
In short, this "inspiration" will make the troubadour's heart throb for a moment, and then involuntarily be involuntarily attracted.
"All love words are love words, and all love words are love words. This phrase is apt to describe the troubadour's emotion when he encounters "inspiration".
One of the most typical is the legendary redemption singer - Helen Petra, who became the first legendary troubadour in history after meeting the undead lord and starting a love-hate entanglement with him.
Helen Petra was not only the only sustenance of the Undead Lord before she became a Lich, but she was also the living person who stayed with the Undead Lord for the longest time!
Angus had a similar experience, when he heard about the death of the young man and woman in the small town of Verona, he knew that telling the story of the man and woman might cause the displeasure of the two families, but he still did it as if he were obsessed.
Fortunately, the two families were already exhausted at that time, and they were about to find a step down. If it were placed at the time when the young men and women of the two families had just died, if Angus had dared to arrange this story like that, it is estimated that there would not be the current level 5 troubadour, Angus Gale.
Some things always have opportunities and risks, and troubadours are also an outlier among magicians, they enjoy a faster promotion speed than other magicians, and have wonderful auxiliary abilities that other magicians of the same level can't easily master, but naturally they also have to take more risks, this is the truth of equivalent exchange on the road of magic.
Like this time when he saw Herb Plato, Angus once again saw his own opportunity, and although this heartbeat did not make him lose his mind, it also made him have a heart for Herb Plato.
......
"Master...... Master?!Master Angus, what are you thinking?!I've called you several times!" On the other side, Heber woke Angus from his musings with a sneering voice.
Angus was startled and asked blankly, "Huh...... What's the matter?"
Herb listened to Angus's question, pouted dissatisfiedly, and said aggrievedly: "Master Angus, I have asked you several times, do you want to go to the bar or the wizard's guild first? ”
Angus said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just thought of the plot of a story, and I was distracted, let's go to the bar first! Although there is a bit of chaos, but there are many people who talk, and the news is also well-informed, sit down and invite people to have a few drinks, without me asking, they themselves will start talking nonsense." ”
When Heber heard this, he said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I haven't been to that place for almost a year, and since my dad said he wanted me to marry Bard according to the marriage contract, I didn't agree, and they were about to grounding me for a year." If it weren't for Master Angus's "The Blind Mage" that could relieve my boredom, I would have been driven crazy. ”
......
"I'm surprised, it's obviously their marriage contract, they haven't asked me, and they will marry if they want to marry! Why should I go? You say yes? Master Angus!"
......
"If I hadn't run out while my brother was delivering me a book this time, I don't know how long I would have been locked up!"
......
As soon as these words opened, Heber chattered endlessly, this year's grounding can suffocate her, and now she has met the most familiar stranger like her idol, and she can rest assured that she can boldly pour out her heart for this year, where can Heber take care of a lot!
In the short distance of 500 meters from the gate of the three spiritual departments to the tavern, Heber relied on his familiarity with the terrain and walked out of a kind of momentum of nine turns and eighteen turns, extending the 500-meter journey by 6 times, nagging all the way, walking around the city in a big circle before taking Angus to the door of the tavern.
It can be seen that the grounding has suffocated her, and he will delay a little longer to say anything.
Although it was the first time Angus had come, he had seen the map, and he thought like a mirror, but he did not break the little trick of Heber, but followed Heber's words and continued to guide him to find out her situation.
Heber Plato, now 25 years old, is a side child of the three spiritual families in the Western Continent, his father is the leader of the city guards (PS: equivalent to the police chief of a small city on Earth), a level 5 soldier, and his mother is an ordinary person, working as a full-time housewife at home.
Her brother is 5 years older than her, has no magical qualifications, and is not interested in warrior training, so far only a second-level warrior, but he is an excellent pharmacist and potion assistant, and is said to have a lot of connections.
And although Heber has no magical qualifications, he is much more serious than his brother in terms of warrior training, and is now almost a level 3 warrior.
She didn't want to marry Bud obediently, because the two families had known each other since childhood, and they were too familiar to feel it. In addition, Herb didn't like Bard's way of treating her as his own property and beating away any man of his age who dared to approach her.
So since she became an adult at the age of 15, she has been putting off the marriage contract again and again, and seeing that she is 25! So, since last year, his father has grounded her, and has asked people to constantly teach him the etiquette of a bride.
Along the way, under the guidance of Angus, intentionally or unintentionally, Herb almost said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and then walked to the door of the bar.
"Master Angus, this is the largest and liveliest bar in town, do you have anything to inquire about? I'm familiar with this!" said Herbie, confidently.
And the only feeling in Angus's heart now is: this child has lived so old and has not been abducted, his family is really not easy!
But he would never say this, Angus said with a kind expression: "Don't bother you, I've been to a bar more than you've ever read, and don't forget I'm a troubadour." Also, in the future, you will call me Angus! It's always a master, a master, and you call me old in plain terms, do you look at my appearance, is it that old?"
Herb stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly, "Didn't you pay attention......! People have been reading your book "The Blind Mage" since they were 9 years old......"
Angus looked surprised and asked, "Oh! yes? Then you can understand the story I wrote?"
Heber stuck out his tongue and said curtly: "I didn't understand it at first, but then because my mother kept watching it, I followed it, and at that time I felt that although I didn't know what I was writing, it was at least much more interesting than those righteous magicians vs. evil magicians, and the most important thing is that there are many characters, and the plot is not repetitive......"
Angus: "......"
And just as the two were chatting at the door of the bar, an abrupt voice suddenly interjected: "Heber Plato, who is this man here?"
