Chapter 7: Illusions, Dwarves
Although the song is sung in the lingua franca of Naise, Xia Duo can still feel the hometown scene depicted in the Muyan song, the scenery of Karatu based on China.
Xia Duo listened attentively, and the people around him were also attracted to it, and surrounded the tent that was used as a stall.
At the end of the song, the surroundings were still quiet, and it seemed that they were still immersed in the exotic scenery.
After a long time, little Neil touched Xia Duo's arm and whispered, "Daxia is so beautiful!" Is there really such a place? ”
What? Xia Duo was startled, his eyes were small, and he glanced at the people around him imperceptibly, those people still had obsessive expressions on their faces, and a few people had even begun to discuss the mountains and rivers of Great Xia.
Is it an illusion? Or is the song really engaging?
Xia Duo didn't see the specific picture himself, but just made up the Chinese scenery before the crossing in his own brain, but the others seemed to see the specific picture?
Xia Duo didn't dare to ask, but he also kept this situation in his heart, maybe he would encounter it again in the future.
"Okay Shado, you go back and think again, whether you want to embark on the path of a bard, I won't entertain you here for the time being."
Mu Yan's voice came faintly, but Xia Duo noticed that he seemed to be the only one who heard it, and the others around him did not hear it, they were still addicted to the illusion of Mu Yan's weaving.
Chadora pulled little Neil out of the crowd, and it was not until he was a dozen paces away that he heard bursts of admiration and cries from the crowd to perform again, and Mu Yan's voice also came:
"If you still want to listen, just pay! Give me 50 gold and I'll show you again. ”
Xia Duo didn't pay attention to it anymore, if Mu Yan was really as powerful as the mage lord of Savile Town as he said, then a group of people would make a lot of money by gathering 50 gold coins to listen to a little song.
He hadn't felt anything in front of Mu Yan's booth just now, but when Xia Duo took a few steps, he noticed that his body had changed, becoming more powerful, stronger, and more agile.
When I asked Little Neil, he was the same, but not as much as Xia Duo.
This is probably the magic of the bard, which can improve people's physical fitness, and I don't know if it is temporary or permanent.
Xia Duo thought like this, his pace slowed down a little, and he didn't feel strained at all, as if there was a fire in his heart that needed to be vented. Little Neil was also a little overexcited, running and jumping all the way, just like those underage children.
There were no twists and turns on the way back, and when he came to the familiar South District Street, Xia Duo's heart also lifted slightly, but there was no change on his face at all, and he was already with that harmless smile.
"Uncle Broto, your beard is so tough today!"
Dangdangdang –
Blotto, the dwarf who was hammering a strip of metal on the black rock anvil, heard Xia Duo's compliment, and immediately threw down his hammer and turned around, stroking his brown beard that had been braided into several pigtails, and smirked.
"Or Xia Duo, you have a vision, there is no one in the old Neil Inn who has such a vision as you, next time I will come and help you hammer that iron piece a few times."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Broto." Xia Duo was overjoyed.
This dwarf, who lives in the southern part of Savile Town all year round, is almost 10 times the age of Xia Duo, but in the dwarf race, he can only be regarded as a middle-aged person, and if he is properly maintained, he will not even have half his lifespan.
And this Danzo dwarf from the mountains of the Great Northwest is one of the few master blacksmiths in Savile Town, and ordinary people want him to make a move, and they don't have to think about it without more than a hundred gold coins.
However, he promised to give Xia Duo a free build, and the iron piece that the dwarf spoke of was actually the simple dagger hidden under Xia Duo's clothes on his left waist, which he laughed at for a long time when he was polishing it in the Blotto blacksmith shop.
This dagger is not even as good as an apprentice's craft, let alone a master's eye, in a blacksmith's shop.
But this time Blotto agreed to help Xia Duo reprocess it again, which shows that he is still in a good mood today, at least Xia Duo praised him before, but he did not get such preferential treatment.
Xia Duo thought about it carefully, could it be that the handsomeness of his beard that he praised in the past did not hit his cool point? So this praise for toughness is considered to be a hit?
The small episode made Xia Duo pay attention to it, and the pace under his feet still did not stop, walking towards the old Neil Hotel, and if he didn't meet anyone he knew along the way, Xia Duo would say hello warmly.
As the old Chinese saying goes, it is not strange to have many people.
This is also quite easy to use in the other world, at least Xia Duo's efforts to create a polite and harmless image are considered successful, although it is said that if you pretend to be a pig too much, it will inevitably be regarded as a real pig, but Xia Duo has no other way.
On this street where there are many adventurers, almost a person can defeat him, he is indeed a weak person, and what can the weak do, in addition to acting harmless, what else can he do, can he behave competently?
But revealing his ability will inevitably lead to conflicts with others, whether it is psychological, or real interests, as long as there is an upset, give Xia Duo a look, then what can he do?
I can only try to maintain a good relationship with the people around me, and try not to have any conflict.
It's just that when he thinks of Old Neil's recent change in attitude, Xia Duo still sighs in his heart, even an innkeeper can bring him so much pressure, and now he is still too weak!
Hiding all the distractions in his heart, Xia Duo walked into the inn with little Neil, who had shrunk his head like a quail, and a noise came from the pavement, shouting and shouting, laughing, and the clashing of cups and plates
However, Xia Duo didn't care about the situation in the store, his eyes were focused on the old Neil who was pouring wine for customers behind the counter, and at this time, with a touch of sweat on his head, he randomly walked behind the barrel to release a glass of inferior ale, and then placed the wooden wine glass heavily on the counter.
A drunkard threw down five copper coins, regardless of whether the cup was full or not, picked up the glass and moved it to a corner, and it was the old Neil who turned back and noticed the two Xia Duo who had just entered the door, and exclaimed:
"I'm back! Come and help, there are a bit more guests today! ”
There are quirks! Xia Duo sounded the alarm bell in his heart, as long as little Neil was playful, he would be scolded at the light and mixed doubles, and sometimes even Xia Duo would be scolded if he was slow to work, but how did Old Neil change his sex today?
Xia Duo didn't say much, but answered, and went to the back kitchen with Little Neil, Marin was making a barbecue with Aunt Susan, and when he saw Xia Duo and Little Neil coming, he immediately said: "Put the charcoal-grilled monitor lizard meat and wild boar meat to tables 2 and 5; Get two more pounds of white bread for table 3, and old Neil doesn't have much wine on his side, so you can go to the cellar and bring a barrel up. ”
These were routine tasks, but Xia Duo didn't say much, picked up the plate and went to the front, Marin also picked up two plates and followed, while little Neil stayed in the kitchen to help.
