Section 227 Truth or Dare (3)
With the help of gecko magic, Rand and Hoqiu climbed up, and occasionally someone was looking out of the third-class porthole they passed, so they saw them.
Panic and screaming sounded inside, but the voices were inaudible to the two of them, only the stunned expressions of their faces could be seen, and then the men seemed to go to the master to stop this crazy behavior, and some people might have mistaken the two of them for thieves.
"This seems to be the seventh floor, right?" Rand knocked on a porthole and looked inside.
A figure seemed to be alarmed, she put down the book next to the bed and walked to the window, but in front of her, it seemed that someone stopped in front of the woman.
The two seemed to argue for a few words, and then the latecomer seemed to give in, but still rushed to the window first, knocked through the heavy glass, and his lips moved, as if to say something.
"She told us to get out of the way. Huo Qiu said.
"How do you know?" Rand said.
"I can lip a little. Huo Qiu shifted after speaking.
Rand also moved away in disbelief, and the glass window was indeed opened.
"You may come in, but do not make any rash moves, or you will bear the consequences. The woman who opened the window said.
The two glanced at each other, and climbed in through the window.
This room, which was supposed to be a first-class room, had a huge bed in the center, a thick red bohemian carpet on the floor, furniture and brass decorations carved from fine wood, a huge diamond-shaped chandelier on the head, and beautiful frescoes or reliefs on several walls.
Standing in front of them were two women, an old woman and a young woman.
The old woman's facial muscles had loosened, but judging from the outline. It should be a beauty when you are young. Especially her eyes. Not at all flustered when two strange men came in, Rand didn't feel any extraordinary strength or aura from her, but he could feel that she was like an elder who had been in the top position for a long time, just like his grandfather.
And the person who looked like a young woman seemed a little strange, and in general, she could appear in this room, either as a relative of the old woman or as her maid. But judging by the attire, it is neither.
She wore a plain white robe, and the style of this robe can be said to be incompatible with the clothing style of recent decades, but it seems to be the national costume of some different plane.
She has a wide forehead, which makes her face appear a bit bigger, otherwise her appearance could be rated a little higher.
Rand felt some kind of supernatural power in her, but for a moment he couldn't tell what it was.
"Please stand still and don't move, I'm Madame's personal health doctor, Tori, why are you outside, please be honest. The woman named Tori stared at the two of them.
"Don't get me wrong. We are also guests in 1st class. Oh, our friends are in first class, to be exact. We had no choice but to meet her in this form. Huo Qiu said politely.
Huo Qiu explained to the two, and the old lady smiled: "Toli, check if the Hola Deguna in cabin three is their friend, and if so, let them pass through me." β
"Thank you, thank you so much. Rand and Huo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, although they didn't know what number it was in the first class, but they could ask if they knocked on the door face to face, which was much faster than the captain of the third class.
"Cindy, Cindy. The old lady's personal physician shouted, and soon the bedroom door opened, and a nondescript girl in a women's tuxedo with a ponytail poked in.
"What's the matter, do you need me to help you get these two guys?" she grinned, glancing at Rand and Hocho.
Rand's color changed slightly, he had a real magician rank, his spiritual perception ability was good, and the moment he was swept by this seemingly harmless girl, he had a dangerous feeling of being targeted by a terrifying giant beast.
If he can't see the depth of Tory, then the strength of this girl-like Cindy is obvious.
This invisible pressure was felt even by Huo Qiu, who was much more sluggish, and his face changed as quickly as Rand's.
"Of course not, Madame instructs, you go to cabin three and ask if the guest is a young lady named Holardguna, and if so, if she has two friends, named Rand and Hocho. Torily said.
"That's right. The aura on the tuxedo girl quickly declined, and she left dejectedly.
Rand took a long breath, the pressure on his body and mind decreased slightly, he subconsciously looked around, and his eyes fell on the book that the old lady put on the bed.
Final Fantasy.
It seems that I have not heard the name of this book, it should be a recent new book, but when he swept the author's name, Rand's eyes lit up.
"Is it Mr. Agravin's new book?" Rand gestured to the book on the bed, slightly agitated.
"Yes, you're also his reader?" said the old lady, a little surprised.
"Of course, I love his novels very much, and there has never been a writer as great and comprehensive as he has in history. Rand said, "Can you show me this new book of his?"
"Of course, but I don't think his new book surpasses his previous work, alas, perhaps because he doesn't have much time to write about it. The old lady handed the book to Rand.
Rand flipped through it intently, and at the same time heard the words behind the old lady, and couldn't help but look up in amazement and said: "I don't have much time to create? What's going on, is there something wrong with your health? If you need a good doctor, you can introduce him when I come back, to be honest, I really want to meet him." β
"You don't necessarily need to see the hen that lays eggs if you like to eat eggs. The old lady smiled, "I think you know what he said." β
"What writer is so remarkable?" interjected Hocho.
"You can usually know a little bit more about anything else. Agravin, who has been hailed as one of the great writers from the beginning of the post-queen era to the present day, is also a great screenwriter, on a par with Russell. He has written novels of different genres, and has been successful in almost every genre, several of which he has since begun. All right. Even if you don't know the novels he wrote. But you always know the famous romance film La Traviata, and the famous films of Lumière, Detective Conan and Sherlock, are all based on his novels. He was also one of the screenwriters of the famous and well-known black-clad secret guard Bond, and the screenwriters of Xenomorph and Diamond Golem also openly admitted to being inspired by this great writer. Rand despised the fat man fiercely.
"Yes? I seem to have read them all, but I realized that some of the original books were written by this person, and some of them were related to him. Huo Qiu said embarrassedly.
Mr. Aglavin, however, rarely appeared in front of people, and never gave interviews to newspapers or film companies, with the only exception being when many readers wanted to meet him, and he gave a public response, including what Madame had just said. You don't necessarily need to see the hen that lays eggs. Yes, ma'am, what should I call you, it would be rude for me to pay attention to it until now. Rand asked.
"Call me Mrs. Leigh. The old lady smiled.
Rand smiled, he had no impression of the name at all, but this lady Li's ability to fly in the first class of the Queen Tiffany was obviously not an ordinary person, and there were two unusual people around her, the tuxedo girl just now looked like a bodyguard, and the personal female doctor Tory was also mysterious. None of them are simple.
If it is said that being able to appear in the first class proves that her economy is good, it is not in Rand's eyes. After all, the Jimenez family has a lot of money, but being able to hire two not simple people to appear as bodyguards and personal doctors is enough to make people look up to her again.
But after all, everyone met in Pingshui, and it was inconvenient for Rand to inquire further, otherwise it would be rude and inappropriate for the other party's kindness.
He intently continued to flip through the Final Fantasy in his hand, a fantasy war genre, about the Terran empire that marched into the infinite plane after thousands of years, of course, this is only a generalized Terran concept, in fact, a multi-ethnic hybrid kingdom like Asturias.
Although the empire is imaginary, it is also expanding into the infinite plane like Asturias, and then encounters two other strange and mysterious forces in a plane rich in magic crystals, the Ryerg, also known as the Zerg, and the Brahrotos, also known as the Star Clan, two strange races.
The Terran Empire needs magic crystals, just like Asturias needs to be, the machinery and magic in the book are very similar to the current Asturias, almost based on Asturias, and the Zerg and Star Clan also need magic crystals, the former need magic crystals to advance, and the latter need magic crystals to maintain their long lives.
This is where the story comes from, and Rand is hooked after only a few pages.
The door opened again, and the tuxedo-maid Cindy poked her head in with a blank expression, "Ma'am, the guest in cabin three is indeed called Hola Deguna, and she is very happy to hear that her two friends are here with us, and she wishes to allow them to pass at once. β
"Let's go, we can get over. Hocho gave Rand a push.
Rand reluctantly returned the Final Fantasy book to Mrs. Leigh, "Madam, this is really a good book, and when I come back, I think I'll have to buy it." Sometimes it is hard for me to imagine that Mr. Aglavine is so old, and that he still has such a rich imagination and creative passion, after nearly 60 years of writing. And this book once again topped my opinion, I thought he should not be good at this type of warfare, and now I have to admit that he may set off another wave of fantasy and reality. β
"Yes, he always did, always surprising. Mrs. Leigh nodded, and she seemed to be happier to hear the compliments on Agravin than she was to hear the compliments on her, which made Rand even more suspicious of her relationship with Agravin.
If she is someone from Agravin, then she can ride in this class, Rand is not surprised, Agravin's novels are sold so high, she can accumulate a lot of money just from the manuscript fee, not to mention that it has been made into a film.
Rand and Huo Qiu walked through the room, and when they were about to walk out of the door, Rand suddenly turned around and said to the three people in the room: "Mrs. Li, and two distinguished young ladies, in order to express my respect and gratitude, I will treat you to dinner today, okay?"
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded in agreement. (To be continued.) )
