Chapter 18: The Notebook Shigego
After Rong Ruo followed Sophia to visit His Royal Highness Andre, the small courtyard was much quieter, probably because Xinghe, who was sitting in the corner of the living room writing and painting, said that "the experience of each of us in this research report is to be attached, if you are not busy, you can start writing." ”
Anton, who was lying on the sofa, raised his head, "Isn't there still a few days, don't worry, and we just arrived, is there anything to remember?"
"Whatever you want, just don't forget when the time comes. Xinghe didn't force it, lowered his head and continued to work on his notebook.
Although Anton didn't mean to do it now, Lan Yue and Xiaoxin were moved by Xinghe's words, so they also took out a pen and paper and found a place to start. Shigego watched it for a while, feeling a little bored, so he also found his duffel bag and prepared to write for a while.
There were two books in the duffel bag, one of which was given by Xinghe, and when he came, he gave everyone a small book, saying that it was used to record the experience of the next lying trip. As for the other, it was an old book with a black cover, which he had put in casually as he tidied up.
Shigego hesitated between the two books for a moment, and finally picked up the one with the black cover. This book was obtained at the top of the White Tower that day.,Chonggo once thought that there must be something special about this book.,After all, it's the tower that was conjured.,But the reality is,He turned this book over and didn't find anything special about it.,Probably it's actually the same as the other garbage that appeared on the top of the tower that day.,There's nothing special about it.。
Without thinking much more, he took the quill pen and dipped it in ink, opened the cover of the book, and wrote his name on the title page. Although this book looks old, the paper is okay, and the writing is smooth.
After signing his name, Shigego turned the page and wrote the first in the header of the next page, ready to write the date first. The tip of the quill glides smoothly across the paper, but no words remain.
Puzzled, Shigego picked up the pen and handed the tip to his eyes, the metal tip looked intact, and the ink could be seen in between. He scratched his head, a little unclear, pinched the written test and drew a circle in the notebook, but there was still nothing in the notebook.
Did the nib really break? He dipped the quill back into the inkwell, picked up a large drop of ink and brought it to the notebook, letting it fall. Something unexpected happened, the ink dripped onto the white paper, then slowly seeped in, then disappeared without a trace, and the notebook became a miserable white patch again, leaving nothing behind.
Chonggo subconsciously exclaimed, attracting the attention of everyone in the living room, Xiaorou, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong, what did you write wrong?"
"Nothing. Shigego replied subconsciously, quickly closing the black notebook.
This subconscious behavior seemed to make Xiaorou have some kind of misunderstanding, and muttered: "If you don't show it, forget it." ”
Shigego just wanted to explain, but when he saw the black notebook, he subconsciously closed his mouth and was stunned for a while, and when he wanted to speak again, he found that no one was listening to him anymore. He glanced at the black notebook in his hand, and put it back in his duffel bag, and at the same time exchanged it for the one given by Xinghe.
This book is a normal notebook, and the wavy lines that he drew on a few random pages did not disappear, leaving conspicuous traces. This made Shigego breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time signed his name on the title page of the notebook.
Turning the title page and writing the date, Shigego suddenly had some difficulty putting pen to paper, and all he had in his head was the black notebook. Finally, he still discovered the special thing about this notebook, but what was the reason why it was impossible to write on the notebook, and why was there any obstacle for him to write his name on the title page?
Chonggo can't figure it out.,Maybe I should tell this thing.,Xinghe has seen so much.,Maybe he'll know what's going on.,But maybe he doesn't know.,How should I explain the source of this book.。 He still remembered that Ye Zhiqiu had warned him not to be seen when he entered the White Tower, but he still exposed it to Luo Xi, although Ye Zhiqiu didn't seem angry at the time, it didn't seem that he agreed to tell Xinghe about it. Or, he should take this book and tell Ye Zhiqiu and let him see if there is anything wrong. It's just that he hid this notebook from him on the White Tower that day, will he blame himself for it?
Time passed quietly as he thought about it, and by the time he reacted, he didn't know how much time had passed, and not even a word had been written down in his notebook. Shigego shook his head, realizing that he really didn't have any intention to write anything at the moment, so he had to put down the pen and close the notebook.
"Isn't it just plucking Charlie's hair, a cat, and it's still when I was six years old, as for taking it out and talking about it every time I see it?" Rong Ruo's voice came from a distance, and from the sound, she must be very unhappy now.
Sure enough, Rong Ruo pushed open the door with an angry face and walked into the small courtyard. Sophia followed her, looking normal.
Anton jumped out at the right time and mocked: "It looks like you're not very happy, what's going on, say it and make everyone happy." ”
This very deadly remark suddenly made Rong Ruo's resentment find an outlet, she pointed at Anton and shouted: "Pixar, beat him!"
The goblin obediently flew out of her neckline and landed on Anton's head, pulling his hair hard, Sophia knew Rongruo's temperament very well, and saw that there were no outsiders in the courtyard, so she didn't stop the fight between the two.
Shigego sat in the living room for a while, feeling a little bored, so he walked to the entrance of the living room, looked at the snow in the courtyard in a daze, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard at dusk.
Since it was the closest to the courtyard gate, Shigego walked over and opened the door by himself. Outside the door was a Mao Wen, a sturdy man dressed in fine leather armor, with grayish-white hair and brown spots embedded in his exposed hair.
"I'm Batu, Lisa is my mother, and I'll be your guide for the next few days. The young Mao Wen introduced himself, and Chongwu didn't know how to reply, so he didn't speak, but turned sideways and let Batu walk into the courtyard.
Rong Ruo, who was still playing in the living room just now, was sitting on the sofa, looking gentle and elegant, if it weren't for the fact that her cheeks were still a little flushed, and there were still some beads of sweat in her hair, Chonggo felt that she would be deceived by her.
"Mr. Batuu, I don't know how the nobles have arranged the next event, but do you have a charter?" asked Sophia.
"Just call me Batu. Young Mao Wen didn't seem to be very interested in the title of sir, and his eyebrows twitched, "The Great Hunting Ceremony will be held tonight, and Elder Barcelona will hold a dinner party in the Holy Land to entertain all the distinguished guests, and you can set off with me if you have nothing else to do." ”
Batu looked at Rong Ruo, waiting for her answer, while she looked at Sophia. The latter nodded, so Rong Ruo replied affirmatively: "Then let's get in order and go, Batu." ”
Without any nonsense, Batu turned and walked out of the courtyard and stood outside the door waiting. Everyone put down what they were doing, took the salute and went back to their room, and changed into the dress that Fauber had prepared for them. To be honest, Shigego doesn't like to wear this kind of complicated ancient ceremonial dress, although it does look stylish, but it also makes him feel troublesome, but he also knows that it is obviously impossible to wear casually to fool around when attending such an occasion.
After a while, everyone appeared in the living room with a new look, and Rong Ruo, who had always been a tomboy on weekdays, also changed into a plain and elegant long dress, as if she had changed into a different person. Anton looked at her and snorted evilly, "This really doesn't look like you." ”
Rong Ruo was not easy to attack because of the presence of outsiders, so she just went over with a smile and stepped on Anton's foot hard, until Sophia glared at her, and she walked away, but she still secretly gestured with her fist. Shigego couldn't help but laugh.
Sophia didn't let them waste any more time, and led everyone out of the courtyard. Batu, who was standing in the snow, glanced at them dressed up, did not comment, and said directly: "Let's go." ”
Batu led them back to the statue they had dropped off the same way they had come, and the building behind the statue had been lit with torches, revealing its full view. The whole body of the giant building is built with a giant ashlar half a person high, about hundreds of meters wide and dozens of meters high, in the shape of a platform, only leaving a doorway two meters high and seven or eight meters wide in front of the statue, and two rows of heavily armed Mao Wen stood by the doorway, motionless.
Batu led them to this place and suddenly stopped, "You can go by yourself here, I will go to the small courtyard tomorrow morning to find you and show you around the city." ”
After Batu finished speaking, he had the posture of turning around and leaving, which caused Xinghe to ask: "Didn't the big hunt say that it was Mao Wen's whole activity, didn't you go in?"
Batu glanced at him sideways, was silent for a while, and replied, "Only clansmen over the age of 19 can participate in the big hunt, and I am not yet old. With that, the young Mao Wen walked away directly.
Sophia did not leave time for them to see Batu, and led the party towards the so-called holy place, as when they came, Rong Ruo walked in the front, and they followed as the entourage.
As soon as they entered the holy land, Mao Wen, who was acting as a waiter, stepped forward and led them to the guest seat, where there were a group of demon spirits dressed up, and Rong Ruo walked over with a large group of them and looked a little eye-catching.
Those demon spirits who should have come from the famous clans of the empire watched them exchange words from time to time, and thought that it was indeed a little strange for the representatives of the Hegu family to bring a few human children to participate in such a grand ceremony.
In his stunned mouth, the elder Mao Wen named Barsa in the center of the Holy Land made a gurgling sound through the loudspeaker equipment, Shigego couldn't understand what he was saying, but looking at the excited emotions of those Mao Wen in the Holy Land, he probably really announced the start of the big hunt
