Chapter 3: The Girl's Thoughts
"Bang bang. ”
The applause echoed wildly in the Dragon Gate Inn, which was a grand scene that had never happened before, and even made many residents of the town spontaneously surround the entire inn, just to hear the story told by Master Enriddan.
There are also some people who don't clap their hands immediately, not because the story is not good, but because of the excitement of it, they can't help but fall into it, and they can't extricate themselves at all, and even forget the basic etiquette of clapping.
In the place where the applause was most powerful, the iron plate in front of Master Enriddan had been completely filled, so to speak, and as soon as he said this, it was already the money that the peasants of Gournia could earn for several years of hard work.
However, the people present were obviously not jealous, and in their opinion, it was very deserving to be able to tell such a wonderful story and get such a reward.
Especially in the last stanza, when the quill and the villain appear, the protagonist sacrifices himself for the whole city, and connects all the foreshadowing of the whole story, everyone can't help but marvel, praise the master who created this story, leave tears for the characters in it, and angrily scold the final villain.
"Master, is there a follow-up?" someone couldn't help but shout out everyone's thoughts.
"Definitely, definitely. Enriddan smiled at the crowd and said, "It won't be long before you hear the new sequel." ”
"Warmly awaited!"
"Reach new heights!"
"Master, I love you!"
In the chaotic cheers, Master Enriddan left from the cheering crowd, and the Dragon Gate Inn was restored to its original appearance.
Xavier stared blankly ahead, not because he had experienced something unhappy, but because his mind was still immersed in the story he had just learned.
The same happened to Caroline, whose fork had not moved for a long time, and the hot food had already been blown cold by the cold wind.
After waiting for a long time, Xavier couldn't help but comment:
"The novelist's swan song, the divine comedy without rhyme!"
~~~~~~
At night.
Caroline, who was wearing pink silk pajamas, was lying on the cotton bed, turned her head to look at Xavier, who was lying on the ground with his back to her, and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Xavier, are you asleep?"
"Nope. Xavier didn't turn around, "What's wrong?"
"It's a little cold today, sir, what do you think?" Caroline's pink lips opened slightly.
"Well, it's okay, shrink up a bit. ”
"Hmm. Caroline replied in a nasal voice.
After a while, the girl's voice sounded again.
In fact, the girl would not have said so much, but according to the distance between the two, it is estimated that they will arrive in the capital tomorrow.
When the time comes, Xavier will go to the Swordsmen's Guild to find Sir Liszt's former master and learn from him, while Caroline will find work in the capital and try to support herself.
To put it simply, the day of arrival in the capital is the day when Caroline and Xavier are separated.
And the girl also understands this, this is why now, the reason why she keeps talking, even if those topics are not topics at all.
"Mr. Xavier, what should you do if you can't find the captain's master at the Swordsman Academy?"
In Caroline's heart, she naturally hoped that Xavier would find the demon hunter smoothly and use it to improve herself and get good enough results in the knights' conference.
But at this moment, her inner thoughts made her feel very ashamed, because she actually hoped that Xavier could not find the master, so that she would have more excuses to stay by his side.
But in the blink of an instant, she put her mind down again, maybe a journey will come to an end, but at least she can do some of the last things she can do before the journey is over.
"Hmm......" Xavier really thought about it for a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet, but according to the captain, as long as you find those sorceresses, you can find the demon hunter." ”
"That's good, that's good. Caroline touched her cheek with her right hand, closed her eyes and opened them again, "By the way, Mr. Xavier, do you feel cold on the ground?"
"No, that's good. ”
"But it's a little cold on Caroline's side, and if you don't mind, sir, can you let me come over and warm up......" Caroline said, holding back the shame in her heart.
After saying that, she immediately regretted it, turned around, and kept explaining: "I mean, uh, uh, the two of you will be warmer! Not anything else! It's just that I'm a little cold now!
At the same time, she curled up her body, expecting an answer, but also afraid that the answer would not be satisfactory, and what if Xavier really said that it would be good.
Countless mixed thoughts make Caroline's time seem particularly slow now, as if a second is a lifetime for her.
Finally, she got Xavier's response.
"Ahem, I'll go to the bathroom first and come back later. ”
Then, under the girl's gaze, he flew out of the room and into the bathroom, leaving Caroline alone on the bed.
Xavier, who was in the bathroom, first looked in the mirror, then punched himself, and by the way, washed his face, of course, with cold water, to make sure he was not dreaming.
"I didn't dream, it seems that Caroline really said such things to me...... "Xavier thought to himself, "but shouldn't girls be a little more reserved, and why did she say that?"
Although he had imagined that a similar plot would happen, he definitely didn't expect that it would really happen in this way.
I should have booked two rooms, and the more expensive it was, the more expensive it was...... He muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, he didn't know how to go back and face it. If he says yes, then he's a beast. If he doesn't agree, it's even worse, it's not as good as a beast!
"Forget it......" Xavier said in his heart without tears, and then came up with a solution that was not at all, that is, not to go back, to wait until the morning to go back, and then pretend that nothing happened!
Hehe, if this matter is heard by the captain, he will definitely scold me Are you still a man?" Xavier sighed in his heart, and then walked out of the bathroom and walked casually next to the inn.
Although it is a small town, due to its location in the heart of the empire, it does not have walls like the village of Reston, but rather coexists with nature.
Now, for example, Xavier had only been walking for a few minutes when he saw a forest and a stream appear in front of him.
He picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it into the river, thinking to himself that if the stream had been flowing from upstream, perhaps the source of water in front of him would have been used by the village of Reston.
This reminds me of the story of the upper-class girl who drank the water to wash her feet...... Xavier thought to himself, then shook his head, ready to take a walk to the second place.
However, at this moment, he heard several strange sounds from the forest in front of him, and at the same time, a prompt sound appeared in his mind.
